Chapter 122 Memorial
After having dinner at Zheng's house, they returned with their guards and servants. The salted duck eggs and preserved eggs they brought were left in Zheng Sisi's house.
After all, they don't know when or how to eat it if they take it back. It's better to leave it there so that they can get a few more meals.
After the meal, the third prince returned home to change his clothes, then went into the palace with the memorials he had written over the past few days.
The third prince entered the palace in a low-key manner and went directly to the imperial study. At the door, Eunuch Mu heard that the third prince had arrived and came out to greet him personally.
When he entered the imperial study, he saw Emperor Yongshun reviewing memorials, and the third prince knelt down to pay his respects.
Emperor Yongshun put down his wolf-hair brush, stood up, walked around the desk, and helped the third prince up.
Complained: "Kid, you don't listen to anything I say."
The Third Prince: "Father, the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects cannot be abolished. You don't want me to be impeached by the censors, do you?"
Emperor Yongshun: "Okay, whatever you say. You must have something to do when you enter the palace today."
The Third Prince presented the memorial with both hands: "Father, please have a look."
Emperor Yongshun stared at the third prince for a while before taking the memorial from his hand.
He opened it and took a few glances. The more he looked, the more surprised he became. The more he looked, the happier he became: "Zhen'er, this is real."
The Third Prince: "Father, it is true. I asked the Ministry of Works to make samples. Miss Zheng tried them and said they were all OK. Then Miss Zheng ordered a batch herself. They have been made and used on the farm. They are very easy to use and save labor. I even took the initiative to waive her fees."
Emperor Yongshun: "It's better to avoid it! It's better to avoid it! No wonder the old guys from the Ministry of Works hesitated to speak at the morning court today. It turns out they were waiting for me here."
The Third Prince: "Father, you can't blame them. The treasury is empty and the departments are under budget. They also want to make some money before the spring ploughing."
Emperor Yongshun: "They want to make money, but I also want to make money?"
The third prince stared at Emperor Yongshun for a long time without saying a word. Was he complaining about not being filial?
The third prince said, "Father, there are a few deals that Miss Zheng would like to ask if you would like to participate in."
Emperor Yongshun's eyes lit up: "What kind of business? Sisi girl is great. She knew that I had no money in my private vault, so she sent me some money."
The Third Prince: "Currently we are doing the chicken and duck egg business."
Emperor Yongshun was puzzled: "Aren't chicken and duck eggs available everywhere? She can make money by doing this business."
The third prince explained: "Although they are chicken eggs and duck eggs, Miss Zheng used a method to turn the two kinds of eggs into preserved eggs and salted duck eggs, which can be stored for a long time without going bad.
Although we haven't eaten it yet, we heard it's delicious. Now it's made by me, Miss Zheng, Zheng Zhiyuan and Zhong Ruiyu. If the emperor gets involved in the business, he can give you a share. Miss Zheng is also grateful to Minister Li for being kind to her, and plans to get him to invest as well."
Emperor Yongshun stared and said, "Of course I will invest in such a good thing. I will invest in it in my personal name."
The Third Prince pondered for a moment, and then borrowed Zheng Sisi's name to say, "Miss Zheng said that if you and Minister Li become shareholders, you will only invest and not participate in the operation and management, so each of you will get one share. Miss Zheng will provide the prescription and management, but she won't provide the money. The four of us will each get two shares."
Emperor Yongshun agreed and said, "What kind of business is this?"
The Third Prince: "This business will last until winter. She said it will be making cured meat, sausages and other cured products."
Emperor Yongshun: "I have never heard of it."
The Third Prince: "But we believe Miss Zheng, just like the braised offal and roasted sweet potatoes, we don't know anything about them."
Emperor Yongshun nodded.
The third prince then told Emperor Yongshun how to test the new agricultural tools.
Emperor Yongshun was also very impressed after hearing this: "Just do as Sisi said. You go and make the arrangements. I will take people to the Imperial Garden after the morning court tomorrow. Remember to bring Sisi in with you."
The third prince bowed and said, "Yes, father."
