"Fifteen cents per dou..."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have an idea in mind when he heard the price.

Several ministers in the room were a little excited when they heard this.

Charcoal worth forty or fifty cents is not necessarily available yet.

If you pay fifteen cents per bucket, you can buy almost twenty briquettes.

If the people save some money, they may still be able to get through this winter.

Liu Jian immediately stood up and said, "Uncle Yong Xi, can your media washing technology be sold?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Ce again.

Zhu Houzhao also looked at him, thinking that his father was really going to compete with him for business.

Zhao Ce smiled calmly under the gaze of everyone.

"I have to sell my technology, so I'm afraid I'll be at a bit of a disadvantage..."

I haven't started my coal mountain business yet. If I sell my technology directly, wouldn't I lose all my money?

Moreover, Zhao Ce's implication is that this group of people can buy coal and sell it to the people.

It's okay to give it to them cheaper.

Liu Jian thought for a moment, then said with emotion: "Look, there are so many refugees in the suburbs of Beijing."

"If we leave the capital, wouldn't there be more refugees?"

"Uncle Yongxi, you are a kind-hearted person."

"Since you have helped the refugees in the suburbs of Beijing, can you help the people in other places?"

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Jian but said nothing.

Li Dongyang and others also watched Liu Jian's performance quietly.

Liu Jian continued: "Your technology is the best thing. It can save many poor people in our Ming Dynasty!"

"So be it."

Liu Jian put his hands behind his back and said calmly and coaxingly: "To be honest, I can actually speak well in the court."

"If you can hand over this technology to the imperial court, what kind of official position do you want to be? I will report it directly to you?"

The corner of Zhao Ce's mouth twitched, but before he could speak, Zhong Zhong over there suddenly said: "I can speak at the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"How about coming to my household department?"

"You are now a student. You can report to His Majesty and give you an official position of seventh grade."

"But I promise, that position is absolutely indispensable!"

"When you win the national examination next year, I will give you a promotion, a promotion..."

Zhong Zhong secretly glanced at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi compared a number, and Zhong Zhong quickly said: "I will promote you to the sixth rank!"

"We'll talk about it later... later!"

"how?"

Zhao Ce wanted to laugh a little.

"I am now a third-rank earl, and I have joined the Ministry of Household Affairs as a minor official..."

Zhong Xiaozhi said with affection: "Hubu!"

"But it's the department in charge of the world's money!"

"As a lord, you have no real power. Once you join the Ministry of Revenue, you can slowly rise up!"

"I heard that you are very good at doing business. Wouldn't it be appropriate to go to the Household Department?"

"Don't you know how to keep accounts? This year, the accounts department completed the reconciliation early because of you!"

Zhu Houzhao disagreed and said: "From the seventh grade, it is too young."

"The Imperial Chancellors are all from the sixth rank. They can't be lower than Zhang Huai, right?"

Zhong Zhong said with some embarrassment: "Then isn't Yong Xibo a student?"

"The Prime Minister of the Imperial College must be a Jinshi no matter what, haha..."

This group of civil servants attaches great importance to academic qualifications.

For Zhao Ce, a student member, to be valued by them and go to the household department has set a precedent.

This must start from a young age.

If you were given a high official position as soon as you entered, the other people in the household department would definitely not be convinced.

After all, everyone is a Jinshi, and you are the only scholar who has just graduated from elementary school to get in.

Even if you want to give it to a senior official, you can't give it...

Zhong Zhong frowned in embarrassment.

He wanted to recruit Zhao Ce into the household department because of the accounting method last time.

However, Your Majesty and others feel that Yong Xibo is still too young, and they want to train more to see if he can be of great use in the future.

Now that there is a great opportunity to win over, Zhong Zhong still wants to seize the opportunity and directly invite Zhao Ce in person.

But I didn't expect that the title given by Your Majesty earlier was both a gift and a constraint.

Liu Jian pondered for a moment and then tried to ask: "If the Ministry of Husbandry doesn't like it, what about the Ministry of War?"

"You have achieved military merit and have some friendship with the Minister of War. If you go to the Ministry of War, you will be able to serve the country better."

Zhao Ce looked at the sky speechlessly.

He is just preparing to do business, why are these people discussing his whereabouts?

He didn't say he wanted to be an official...

After Liu Jian finished speaking, Xie Qian also stood up.

"The Ministry of War is not good, but the Ministry of Personnel is better!"

"The head of the six divisions, Shangshu Ma Wensheng, was also a good fighter in the past."

"How about it?"

Xie Qian said happily: "With your skills in cleaning media, you can get a position in the civil service department. It's a good deal!"

The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments and is responsible for the assessment and promotion of officials.

If neither the Ministry of Husbandry nor the Ministry of War likes it, then probably only the Ministry of Personnel will.

As for the other three parts, Zhao Ce is probably even less interested.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

As expected, they are worthy of his cabinet team. This business without capital is really a slippery slope.

For a small position with real power, relatives in the capital are flocking to it.

Zhao Ce is a truly capable person, and it is natural for him to serve.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to give him this official position from the beginning.

With Zhao Ce's current achievements, he can actually be given a higher position.

It's just that Zhao Ce has no connections and no high background.

Even if I am given a high position, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress him.

Zhong Zhong stood aside, listening somewhat dullly.

It was obviously him who brought it up first...

Why is the Ministry of Personnel at the head of the six departments, so why should we reach out to the Ministry of Finance to ask for money?

If His Majesty hadn't been here, he would have argued with these two people!

Zhu Houzhao said a little aggrievedly: "But I also participated in that Meishan Mountain."

"If Yong Xibo sells the technology, what should I do?"

Liu Jian and others looked at Zhu Houzhao and smiled kindly.

Emperor Hongzhi advised: "What we do is to benefit the people of the world."

"Wouldn't it be better for you to discuss other business deals with Yong Xibo in the future?"

Zhu Houzhao let out an angry "hum".

"I don't agree!"

"I borrowed 100,000 taels from my uncle just because I wanted to make money and pay it back to them."
