Chapter 554 Prince: This smells wrong(1/2)
Zhu Houzhao could not have imagined that Uncle Yong Xi was so capable.
Even coal, which has always been only used to make iron, he has a way to remove the poisonous gas!
If these coals are turned into coal that can be used daily, then they will have so many coal mountains in Ming Dynasty...
Got rich...
These three words floated through Zhu Houzhao's mind.
He said happily: "Can all the coal you produce behind you be used like this?"
Zhao Ce nodded and explained to him the difference between clean coal, medium coal, etc.
Zhu Houzhao was even more amazed when he heard that this clean coal could also improve the quality of steelmaking.
Seeing his surprised look, Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Master Zhu, the steel-making technology has improved, and the benefits go without saying."
"Our weapons can be made sharper, and the quality of cannons and guns can also be improved to a higher level."
"When the time comes, I can go to neighboring countries and get back Taizong's rewards. Wouldn't I be more confident?"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes were bright and he stared at Zhao Ce with a cheerful smile.
"You are right!"
"I'll go back and ask my father to buy some coal from you and try it out!"
"If the quality of cannons and muskets can be improved, then even if we don't go to neighboring countries, we can beat the shit out of Meng Yuan!"
Zhao Ce ignored the flaw in his words and gave a thumbs up.
"Master Zhu has great ambitions!"
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand curiously.
"To be honest, I have loved wielding swords and guns since I was a child, and I am also familiar with the art of war."
"The word 'rob' that you mentioned before can be said to have won my heart."
"No matter what Master Li and the others say, in short, we will be allies in the future!"
"Count me in on your Meishan business!"
"I certainly have status and status, but as for money..."
Zhu Houzhao paused and said grandly: "Young Master Qian, I also have a lot!"
"One hundred thousand taels, how about one hundred thousand taels?"
"Master, I will offer you one hundred thousand taels to join your business!"
"I'll take over your silver bone charcoal business too!"
Zhao Ce originally just wanted to trick Mr. Zhu into joining the game and use his status as a protective umbrella.
Then use him to facilitate the business of clean coal and medium coal with the court.
Now Zhu Houzhao actually takes the initiative to say that he wants to add money to buy shares...
Not sure if he had the money, Zhao Ce smiled and agreed first.
I have a lot of capital, but if I want to use it on such a large coal mine, it seems a little insufficient.
Zhao Ce originally wanted to take his time.
Now that Mr. Zhu's money has been invested in the shares, he can start to show off his talents.
Zhao Ce smiled and said: "Master Zhu is so grand!"
"The coal washing machine is already being built. It will be finished soon and will be assembled at the coal mountain."
"As long as it is installed, this coal can be put into mass production."
"I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he was very happy.
My father and the ministers all regard themselves as children.
Only Zhao Ce treated him as an adult and even roped him into doing business.
As for whether Zhao Ce would deceive him?
Zhu Houzhao is not afraid at all!
There is no one who dares to fool him in the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood, and when Su Cai'er brought someone over with delicious cakes, he showed off again.
It was almost too cool to show off. I saw that Su Cai'er only got a small piece today and was sitting next to Zhao Ce eating it.
Zhu Houzhao asked curiously: "Why did Mrs. Yongxibo eat so little today?"
"Did I eat too much and you didn't have enough?"
Zhao Ce smiled and said: "She just ate a lot in the past two days, so she can't eat too much sweet food at once."
Su Cai'er looked at him somewhat flatteringly and whispered: "I don't think I eat much..."
Zhao Ce said ruthlessly: "No, I can only eat these today."
Su Cai'er could only reply aggrievedly: "Okay..."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the two of them and inexplicably thought of how he felt when he was in the palace and wanted to eat something, but his father did not allow him to eat it.
When Zhao Ce got up, he went to the side and moved the coal bucket farther away.
Aunt Chen cleverly took a plate of unused cakes and handed it over.
"Madam, you can eat some more, it'll be fine."
For people like Aunt Chen, these cakes are made from white flour, eggs and sugar.
But they are all good things to nourish the body.
Madam is pregnant with a child, so she can naturally eat it.
I don’t know why the master restricts his wife from eating these.
Zhu Houzhao also looked at Su Cai'er with a sympathetic look, and whispered: "Uncle Yong Xi is not here now. Eat some quickly. He won't know."
"I understand this feeling of not being able to eat as much as you want."
When eating hot pot for the first time, Zhu Hou looked after Su Cai'er but Zhao Ce stopped her from eating too much.
Later, he politely asked the servant next to him to give Mrs. Yongxibo some food.
Unexpectedly, Su Caier directly refused at that time.
Zhu Houzhao thought that Uncle Yong Xibo was at the side at that time, and Mrs. Yong Xibo did not dare to disobey her husband's wishes in person.
Yong Xibo is not at the table now, and he is not looking at them.
Mrs. Yongxibo can just eat two pieces to satisfy her craving.
Unexpectedly, even if Zhao Ce was not around, Su Cai'er would still shake her head and refuse.
"Thank you Mr. Zhu for your kindness. My husband said you can only eat these, this is all you can eat."
Zhu Houzhao said nonchalantly: "Don't worry."
"When my mother really wanted to eat something, even if she ate too much, my father wouldn't blame her."
"Uncle Yongxi will not blame you either."
Su Cai'er still firmly refused.
"No."
Aunt Chen had no choice but to put the cake back in her hand.
...
When Zhao Ce walked back, he glanced at Su Cai'er's plate.
Su Cai'er looked back at him without any guilt.
Zhao Ce smiled at her: "I can only eat one more piece."
Su Cai'er, who had been unable to persuade Aunt Chen and Zhu Houzhao just now, happily ate the extra cake.
Zhu Houzhao looked on and felt that in addition to the sweet taste of today's cake, there was also a hint of other flavors mixed in.
His Royal Highness, who never knew what love between a man and a woman was, sniffed.
"Well, that's all, I'm a little full..."
His Royal Highness put down the wooden fork in his hand and wondered what the relationship between the couple was like.
He secretly glanced at Zhao Ce and saw him looking down at Mrs. Yong Xibo with tenderness in his eyes, and he suddenly felt a sense of anticipation in his heart.
If he married a wife, would he be as loving as these two people?
Zhu Houzhao thought and frowned again.
