Five hundred and fortieth chapters recruiting troops
Never do business with people like Mr. Jiang in the future! They are too cunning!
When Zhang Shou brought Young Master Jiang out of the underground workshop, this was the biggest thought in his mind. Especially when he saw Guan Qiu chatting with Young Master Jiang with a smile, although he was not worried at all that Guan Qiu would be raped.
Young Master Jiang tried to win over him, but he was still angry and angry. Twelve o'clock in the afternoon was about to become six o'clock in the afternoon. Can he get used to it?
We can only hope that all the emperors who only obey Emperor Taizu will never implement a one-clock, two-clock system for the sake of that mechanical watch. In that case, he will really want to die! Because except for him
In addition, all civil and military officials, including wealthy businessmen and businessmen in the market, who have long been accustomed to the twelve-hour clock, will definitely support the implementation of the twelve-hour clock on the clock with both hands and feet!
Young Master Jiang, who was unaware of Mujue, did not know that Zhang Shou was angry with him at this time. After leaving Guan Qiu, he walked up to talk to Zhang Shou with a smile on his face, but he asked how he could sell the pendulum clock. But Zhang Shou
She glanced at him angrily and asked bluntly: "What, are you planning to buy one and put it at home?"
"Of course." After Young Master Jiang readily admitted it, he said with a smile, "This pendulum clock will definitely be sold very well by then. After all, it is much more intuitive than timers such as hour markers. I don't want to talk to Dr. Zhang first.
If you say yes, you may not have a share in my family anymore. I can guarantee that all the rich families in the world will gather in the capital and ask for a pendulum clock to be placed at home."
Although just now he thought that Young Master Jiang was simply cunning and disgusting, but now that Young Master Jiang was flattering, Zhang Shou felt that people are quite talkative. He specially took people to see this pendulum clock today.
There was some consideration. Putting aside the resentment just now, he felt that compared to those old oil men in the business world, a young man like Mr. Jiang was actually useful.
Therefore, he chuckled and said lightly: "This pendulum clock is almost complete now, but the exterior decoration still needs to be carved. Otherwise, the appearance will be rough and the interior will not sell for a good price no matter how exquisite it is. If you want to buy it,
You can go directly to Zhao Guogong's mansion to find Yingying, this is one of my betrothal gifts."
Young Master Jiang immediately took a breath of cold air. This was Zhang Shou's wedding gift to Zhu Ying... and it was one of them?
It’s simply amazing. This is a big business that may reach hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it has never been done before, and maybe no one will be able to get involved in the next few years. At least it is enough for Zhang Shou to go straight from a well-off society to a wealthy man. And I heard that Zhang Shou just
When talking to Guan Qiu, the tone should be that Zhang Shou was responsible for the idea, Guan Qiu was responsible for the development, and it took countless efforts to make it successful.
Now, Zhang Shou is actually willing to give it to the Yue family like this? This is simply... the top prodigal son in the world!
Zhang Shou once again easily read Young Master Jiang's emotions from his face, but instead of getting angry, he felt that the straightforward Young Master Jiang was a little cute. Therefore, he pretended not to notice the other party's disapproval and indifferently
Said: "As for how to sell in the future and how much to sell for, you can ask Yingying. Even if you want to get the distribution authority..."
Seeing that Young Master Jiang was finally dumbfounded this time, with a look of "I am very interested, you must consider my expression", he just said with a smile: "You can also go to see Yingying, she takes care of this matter. In short, as long as
Yingying nodded, then it's easy to talk about anything. Don't you have some friendship with Brother Zhu? It's always more convenient than others. "
I can actually get the distribution rights! If this is the case, no matter how high the threshold of Zhao Guogong's mansion is, I will climb in!
Seeing Young Master Jiang showing such a clear and resolute expression, he didn't even care that he had just come back and left like a gust of wind. Zhang Shou's little bad mood because of the timekeeping system suddenly disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, he called Ah Liu. When the elusive boy showed up, he asked Ah Liu to send someone to invite Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang and others to his home. This night, Zhang Yuan was naturally lively.
Had a game.
As Zhang Yuan and Zhao Guogong officially released the news of the two November marriages, many people in the capital were shocked. No one was surprised that Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying got married, it was a matter of course.
This golden couple has been together all day long even before they got married. People have to assume that they are a young couple, but Zhu Tingfang is actually getting married?
How could Tietoufang, who was extremely hard-working but extremely tough on his fiancée, still be able to find a wife?
When a large number of people who were inexplicably surprised learned that Zhu Tingfang was actually the concubine of Weinan Bo Zhang Kang, there was even more uproar. Although Zhao Guogong and Chu Guogong were feuding, and Qin Guogong did not have a daughter, it was a good thing
After counting, among the Zhu family's close relatives and nobles, such as Marquis Huaiqing and Marquis Nanyang, there was an unmarried daughter. How could it be Zhang Kang's turn to surrender?
When everyone else turned their attention to her brother, Miss Zhu, who was about to get married, and who had not made friends for a long time and was busy traveling, suddenly summoned a lot of "husband and dog friends" from the past.
, held a grand garden party. The venue was Zhaoyuan, Haidian, and the most surprising thing was that Zhang Shou was teaching in Jiuzhang Hall of the Imperial College that day and did not go at all.
Although some people secretly whispered that Miss Zhu, who was about to get married, was not afraid of causing gossip, when groups of people arrived in Zhaoyuan and found that the person waiting in front of the door was Zhu Ying's second brother Zhu Er Zhu Tingjie, most people
All doubts are gone.
No matter how unreliable Zhu Er is, he is still a serious Zhu Er Master!
It is certainly not appropriate for those families who care about etiquette to accompany an elder brother to meet foreign guests, but Zhao Guogong's house is originally a woman who is used to being the head of the family. I think that when the wife's husband died young, she didn't personally come forward to do it for her at that time.
Emperor Ruizong of the vassal dynasty is on the run?
When they saw Lu Sanpang accompanying him, Zhang Chen entertaining guests, Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu rushing forward, these typical Zhang Shou disciples were all in place. Only those who were left muttering in their hearts calmed down, thinking that this was
On the eve of Zhu Ying's marriage, her last carnival with her former friends had already been approved by Zhang Shou.
But as soon as Zhu Ying opened her mouth, a large number of people invited here today were stunned.
"When Ah Shou was teaching everyone in Cuiyunjian because of my instigation, he promised you to find a way out, and also promised that I could protect you. I will get married soon, and I will be Zhang Yuan's from now on.
As the matron of the house, Ah Shou has lofty aspirations and cannot take care of many things, so all the external affairs of the family are left to me."
"Today I come to you, I just want to say one thing. The promise Ashou made on my behalf is still valid. If you now have a future that you can expect, that would be best. If not, when we met, you would
Most of them studied under Ashou, so you can come to me if you need anything. I have a lot of things to do here, and I really need reliable people."
As Zhu Ying spoke, she raised her glass with a smile, drank it down in one gulp, and then pointed at Zhu Er, who was sitting next to her: "Of course, you can also go to my second brother, he is recruiting troops now.
It's time for a big fight. In the past two days, we have just recruited two capable generals from Chief Yue Shan of Zhaoming Academy. Those two have agreed to be his staff and will follow him to Cangzhou later."
Sister, you are really my savior! Zhu Er wished he could hug Zhu Ying and play around like he was a child, and he couldn't be more grateful. Although he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw those questioning eyes, he couldn't control the feeling in his heart.
proud.
We were all playboys in the past, but now we are also people who have founded a business and can recruit staff!
If we say that Zhu Ying, who has been a beauty since she was a child and is stunning in the capital, has always been the center of attention of Guijie's children; and Zhu Tingfang, who has been both civil and military since she was a child, and has been praised by everyone from the Queen Mother to the Emperor to all the elders, is Zhu Tingfang.
He is someone else's child that he loves and hates; then Zhu Er serves as a foil for his eldest brother and younger sister.
At this moment, seeing Zhu Er sitting cross-legged and looking very arrogant, I don’t know how many people were cursing and complaining in their hearts. You are no different from us, but now you can still recruit someone as famous as Zhaoming Academy.
A staff member from the academy? Isn’t it just that he has a good grandma, a good father, a good mother, a big brother, a good sister... and a good brother-in-law?
But after this calculation, even Lu Sanlang couldn't help but feel very jealous of Zhu Er. Zhu Er was simply the only dogtail grass growing in the garden. As long as everyone helped him, it would be enough for Zhu Er.
2. Live a nourished and comfortable life!
But after the initial jealousy, naturally some people had to ask about what Zhu Ying had just said. When Zhu Ying smiled again and compared Zhu Er's tireless work in Cangzhou, he briefly mentioned Zhang Chen and Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu now
After the situation opened up in Cangzhou and Xingtai, and there was definitely a bright future for them in the future, several dandy boys who had been standing aside at home were unknowingly moved.
But while they were rushing to recommend themselves, some of them whispered: "But I don't know the ways outside. If I mess up, won't you, Miss, give me a beating?"
"Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, but some people's strengths are very obvious, and some people's strengths are hard to find."
This time it was Lu Sanlang who spoke. With the reputation of the prodigal son turning back after the emperor's eloquent words, he was now more and more rounded and spoke slowly and elegantly. He said with a smile: "Everyone knows that Tingyu Xiaozhu has been acting like a prodigal son recently.
The stage plays, right? In fact, I had people write them, and then I personally guided the rehearsals of Twelve Rains."
Seeing that some of the young people's eyes were shining, and some were salivating, wishing they could come and change with him, Lu Sanlang said sincerely: "Only the regulars of Fengyue Field know what kind of tune attracts us the most.
Such people. Professional things like lyrics and singing should be left to professionals. You should know how to build momentum, support, and the rhythm..."
Zhu Ying watched with cold eyes, seeing Lu Sanlang indoctrinating him, but she sat there with a smile and let him play. When Lu Sanlang finally came to an end, she clapped her hands.
Seeing that everyone's attention returned to her, she said with a half-smile: "Many of you should know A Shou's abilities. He knows a lot, sees far, and often has novel thoughts and ideas.
But I just regret that there are not enough people who can use it. I have nothing to do, so I will help him..."
Zhu Ying casually counted Zhang Shou's various abilities with her fingers, including the textile machine he once donated the blueprints for, the new loom that he had given to Zhang Chen to start a weaving workshop, and even Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu who went to Suzhou to
Fourth Master Hua also revealed this matter in an understatement, and smiled brightly at the end.
"Ashou's place has just recently made a pendulum clock. It is based on a strange timepiece in the secret box of Taizu given to him by the emperor. The sample of the pendulum clock has long been sent to the palace for the emperor to inspect.
If it is really good, it will be a good thing that can replace those bulky timers in the future. After all, even in the palace, it is impossible to put water-carrying ceremonial tables everywhere, or to have leaky Seven Treasure Lamps."
As soon as these words came out, a large group of noble disciples couldn't help but look at each other.
Someone asked in a low voice what the water-operated ceremonial platform was and what the Qibao lamp was. As a result, Lu Sanlang quoted scriptures endlessly and described these two timepieces from the Song and Yuan Dynasties in a colorful way.
Especially the Seven Treasures Lamp, which is recorded extremely detailedly in ancient books, that is, the Daming Palace Lamp. The bells are rung at the quarter, the drums are beaten at the second quarter, the gongs are struck at the third quarter, and the cymbals are struck at the fourth quarter. At the beginning of the hour and the right hour, this
What is the sound of a lamp leaking? He explained it very clearly.
He was already very eloquent, so when he said this, everyone was naturally thinking about it, and Zhang Chen took the opportunity to beat the drum and said: "I think that when Grandpa Taizu conquered the capital, he ordered to protect the lamp leaks in the Daming Palace, but people sneaked in
Miyagi later discovered that this treasure, commonly known as the Seven Treasures Lantern Leak, had long been broken up by a group of fools in the palace and smuggled out of the palace for sale, and all ended up being destroyed."
"Not to mention, almost all the astronomical instruments that Guo Shoujing made were destroyed and lost. In the end, only the copper pot engraved on the Drum Tower was left in the capital. Grandpa Taizu was really angry when he found out about it at that time.
He was scolded as a prodigal. Finally, when I was compiling the history of the Yuan Dynasty, I found the original information and wrote down Guo Shoujing's ingenious lamp leakage."
"I heard that the copper pot engraved in the Drum Tower has gone through the Song and Yuan dynasties, as well as this dynasty. Now it is said to be very accurate, but in fact it needs to be calibrated every once in a while. The engraved stone used in the palace today is a tribute from Qin Tianjian.
And debugging. But the emperor has always been very critical of Qin Tianjian's ability. No, just because of the suggestion of Chief Yue Shan, he issued an edict to the world and summoned experts in arithmetic and astronomy to come to the court..."
Zhang Chen seemed to be competing with Lu Sanlang to see who could speak like a lotus flower. He was no less talkative than Lu Sanlang at this time. Not only that, he also talked about what kind of cleats he used at home, and whether it was convenient for daily use.
That thing was made by a skilled craftsman and how much is it worth... At the end, he grinned and said: "I have already seen it. The little gentleman's clock is much simpler and more intuitive than the oval clock."
Everyone knew that Zhang Chen and Lu Sanlang were Zhang Shou's right-hand men, so when they spoke, everyone was doubtful. But Zhu Ying and they all claimed that Zhang Shou's things had been given to the emperor for inspection. Moreover, this was based on the original evidence of Taizu.
It is made from the timer in the secret box, and most people have at least seventy-eight percent confidence in it.
But as Zhu Ying said in an understatement, Mr. Jiang had already taken over all the dealers in Beizhili and was willing to pay a three-year deposit of 5,000 guan in advance. Fourth Master Hua of Suzhou even offered 10,000 guan to take over Nanzhili.
Lihe Zhejiang's distributors, with 10 or 20 people, suddenly exploded. Then even if there was no shortage of delicacies and silk and bamboo orchestras, no one could care about them anymore.
Although sums such as five thousand guan and ten thousand guan may sound like nothing to those wealthy families, it is just a deposit! Even these wealthy businessmen have already lined up, and their bodies are worthless.
