Zhao Ji nodded slightly, and Li Yan next to him suddenly said unevenly: "Master Gao, are you going to wait in line with the people, peddlers and pawns? Are you still not going to the court's dignity and etiquette? "

Gao Chong snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Li, is that what you said, my fireworks will be sold according to the size of the official position in the future? What we need to do is to spread the emperor's kindness and the auspiciousness of the court to the world, not just for officials to enjoy."

Seeing the two of them facing each other, Zhao Ji frowned. What they said made sense. Who should I listen to?

When Li Yan saw a small 8th-grade gunpowder bureau order that dared to contradict him, he couldn't help but say: "The face of the emperor represented by the officials is the parents of the common people appointed by the emperor. What is the face of the official family in such a confusion? These troublemakers don't know what the use of respecting their parents?"

Gao Chong sneered: "The world is the emperor's world, and the people are the emperor's people. How can General Manager Li be said to be a troublemaker? The superiors and inferiors must be discussed, and the interests of the people must also be raised. We must take into account both."

"Take both? I want to hear how you both." Li Yan said disdainfully.

Gao Chong said without giving in at all: "I was interrupted by you before I finished what I said just now. Is there any good way for General Manager Li? If not, just follow me and listen to me. Just be the chief supervisor, manage the internal affairs of the palace and share the worries of the emperor. We ministers should do the outside affairs!"

This time, Li Yan almost jumped up, and Zhao Jinnu's heart suddenly rose to his throat. This guy was too brave. This Li Yan was a close minister of the Tian family and he didn't even dare to offend him easily. How dare he fight against Li Yan?

"Okay! OK! Our family wants to see what good ideas you have." Li Yan looked at him viciously, and the anger in his eyes was almost spitting out.

Zhao Ji admired it very much. He hoped that the country would have such a loyal minister to balance the power in the court. Gao Chong really met his requirements.

With integrity, all that remains is ability. Let’s see how capable he is! Zhao Ji was also quietly waiting for Gao Chong’s answer.

Gao Chong smiled and said, "It's not worth mentioning. My plan is to treat it differently. When selling, we divide two channels, one to the people and the other to the officials. The two parties are isolated so that there is no need to mix together, and there is no need to lose face.

In addition, I plan to sell it in limited quantities when the production capacity is insufficient, and stipulate that each person purchases up to 100 guan of fireworks, so that everyone can enjoy the benefits.

Of course these are temporary measures. What we should do the most is to increase production capacity and try to meet the needs of everyone."

Zhao Ji looked at Gao Chong and said with great satisfaction: "Very good! Just do what Gao Aiqing said! Do you have anything else?"

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask the Emperor to give a name to the fireworks shop, so that everyone can know that fireworks are royal auspiciousness and a gift from His Majesty to the people."

Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Okay! I agree. Just call him the World Red Fireworks Store!"

While Zhao Ji said, he wrote a banner and rewarded him to Gao Chong. Gao Chong excitedly took the thanks.

"By the way, Gao Aiqing, I heard you have created a new painting skill?"

Gao Chong secretly glanced at Zhao Jinnu and hurriedly said, "I dare not say that I have created a new skill. But when I use it, I think about using a hard pen to paint, but it is still very imperfect. Please forgive me."

"Oh, then try drawing one, I'll take a look."

"Your Majesty, I use a hard pen to paint, and it is difficult to find such a pen for a while. How about I prepare for it when I go back?"

"Okay, tomorrow! You come to the palace to show me tomorrow. Li Yan told the guards that I would like to give Gao Chong the chance to come to the palace to meet the saint at any time, and no one can stop him."

Li Yan was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but there was no way, so he agreed with a smile.

Gao Chong thanked him again and then left the palace. As soon as he came out, he couldn't wait to find a calligraphy and painting shop and asked them to make a plaque according to the inscriptions of the official.

Gao Chong returned to the Gunpowder Bureau, where Zheng Huai and Zhang Kui were shouting here, and they were very excited.

"What happened? Why are you so happy? Are you going to be back with 10,000 guan?"

"Sir!" Everyone bowed and bowed. Zheng Huai said, "The money was not coming, but Zhu Li was arrested by us. When this old boy saw us, he was so arrogant that he said that as long as their husband bought things, he just took them away, and never gave them money.

Not to mention our small gunpowder department, no one dared to ask him for money even if he was in the military weapon surveillance.

I really thought this bastard was so tough, but it was not the case when he started to do it. As soon as we got on the rope, we collapsed on the ground in fear. The evil slaves under him wanted to go up and grab people, but we all knocked them down.

This Zhu Liyi was caught by us and almost got diarrhea. Now he is like a pool of mud, which is really funny."

Sui Yu was so anxious that he sweated on his head and said, "Don't be happy, don't be happy, disaster has come, disaster has come! This Zhu Li is the chief manager of Mr. Zhu's family. If we arrest him, how can Mr. Zhu be willing to give up? When he knows this, we will be in great disaster."

Everyone was stunned and looked at him very unhappy. Gao Chong also glanced at him and said, "Why can't you expect us a little every day? What's the matter with Zhu Xie? This official has offended Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng, and Li Yan all, and he still cares about him, Zhu Xie?

You can take this, if Zhu Jie dares to come and ask for trouble, just come! If he dares to move my shop, I will let him go with it."

"What is this?" Sui Yu opened the paper, looked at the six words of the World Red Fireworks Shop, and was slightly stunned. After a while, he woke up and said, "This is the thin gold body of the official family."

"Nonsense, this is the word "give" from the official family. You can provide it to the store and I will see who will dare to be honest in the future."

"Long live my emperor!" Sui Yu was so scared that he almost threw away the self-contained picture. He knelt on the ground and respectfully held the scroll; then said goodbye to Gao Chong and returned to the store in a panic.

"That Zhu Li was pressing first, when will the Zhu family send the money and when will it be released? By the way, Mu Yao, I promised to build two stores for selling fireworks from the official family.

One is for Sui Yu, sold to merchants and people, and the other is for officials. You can operate this! This one is more refined and the price can be higher. Anyway, they are very proud of their face and don’t care about that little money.”

"Yes, Lord, the official will know." Feng Muyao had no doubt about Gao Chong's words and agreed on the spot.

Gao Chong thought about how to paint for Zhao Ji tomorrow, and his head hurt. This charcoal was very bad. Not only did he make a black hand, it was also very easy to break. When he couldn't perform for the emperor, his pen was broken!

Gao Chong thought of a lot of ways. He tried to make a small slender strip of charcoal powder mixed with rosin and other things, and then wrapped it with paper layers outside, and finally made a simple pencil.

Although this pencil is not a little worse than that of later generations, it finally made up his mind to use it, which finally made him feel relieved.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Sui Yu ran in crying and shouted loudly while running: "Sir, sir, something is wrong."

Gao Chong was just a little excited, and looked up and saw Sui Yu running back in a panic. He almost fell down without any attention.

"Be careful, what happened?"

"Sir, the Zhu family is indeed here. This time it is Zhu Ruxian, the eldest son of the Zhu family. He and his people smashed all our fireworks shops, and even the official family's letters were torn to pieces."

"Even the gift of the letter?" Gao Chong looked at him and asked, "Did you tell them that this was given by the official family?"

"I said that, they didn't believe it at all. They also said that if we didn't let Zhu Li go, they would come tomorrow, and they would come to smash our shop every day. Sir, we are doing business, and we make money with kindness. There is no need to go against the Zhu family. Let's just let Zhu Li go!"

"Let me go? It's not that I want to go against them now, but that's because he has to go against me. Since they don't want to let us go, there's no need for us to flatter them."

Sui Yu's face suddenly turned dark. Isn't this guy going to catch people, right?

Gao Chong saw what he meant, "This Zhu Ruxian is different. He is a court official. We cannot be detained casually. Sui Yu, go to Feng Muyao to write a paper and hand it to Kaifeng Mansion, and ask them to take people for us. You don't have to worry about the rest. Wait until tomorrow to count the money!"

"Count, count the money? We have caused a big disaster this time. It would be great if we don't get blocked by others." Sui Yu secretly complained in his heart and agreed to go to find Feng Muyao.

Gao Chong cleaned up, Shi Shi suddenly returned to his home, as if nothing had ever happened.

Li bought hundreds of books in the past few days, plus Zhang Zeduan's paintings, and was addicted to reading them when he saw his son coming in.

Gao Chong greeted his mother and sat down aside. "Mother, Gao Wei said you are looking for me, do you have any instructions?"

"Dalang, I was very worried that you were working alone in Kaifeng; I also knew that you were framed, so I came to take some things with me. But after a while, I learned about your situation and felt very relieved. However, there was still a lot of things at home, and I was very worried about Erlang.

Since you are fine now and you didn’t stay in Daming Mansion for a day when you came, I still want to see the two elders when I went back this time; I’m going to go back.”
