Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Hundreds of them are produced every day, which is enough for the upper and middle-level officers to supply one. For Zhu Yuanzhang before, he couldn't believe it at all.

If this thing can be generally configured, what Beiyuan, Sichuan, and Yunnan are all in the bag, and there is no need to spend much effort at all.

However, achieving such a productivity is still not enough for Zhu Yuanzhang, he asked suddenly.

"Tao'er, if you are given a large number of craftsmen and sufficient raw materials, can you increase the output to more than [-] per day?"

Zhu Tao thought about it carefully and replied.

"This should be no problem, but what's the use of producing so many telescopes? They don't have such a big market, so they can only be thrown in the warehouse. After all, there are not so many dignitaries who can use this thing. .”

Regarding this question, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little noncommittal, he said.

"Tao'er has always been smart, why can't she figure it out, your father and I have a dense network of businessmen, this sales is not a problem, you just say if you can do it, if you can, we father and I will make a lot of money." .”

Zhu Biao also smoothed things over and said, "That's right, cousin, haven't you always said that you want to be a dandy, then you have to accumulate a lot of money first, and now uncle has this way, this is an opportunity ah."

Since everyone said so, Zhu Tao had nothing to refute. Anyway, for him, this telescope was made to be sold.

And remembering the incident of General Guangwei breaking into the palace and rebelling, Zhu Tao has already firmly believed that his father must have something to do with the Forbidden Army, and maybe he relied on the Forbidden Army to open up sales.

At this point, everyone stopped talking about this topic. Zhu Tao suddenly remembered that his cousin hadn't been working in the fields for a long time. Although he looks better recently, his spleen and stomach are still a little weak.

So he said: "Cousin, your gastric ulcer and spleen deficiency are basically healed, but it would be even better if you can sweat and exercise again. My corn is about to be harvested. Do you think it is by the way?" Do some more work."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was taken aback. I'm a horse, I'm also a prince after all, so it's nothing to do farm work here all the time.

Even if the emperor likes you, even if you are a monster with extraordinary talents, you can't train me as a prince to be a farmer, and then you can become a prince.

Hey, after thinking about it, if Zhu Tao really became the prince, there would be nothing wrong with him. His huge ability can really improve rapidly for the Ming Dynasty.

But according to Zhu Tao's tired and lazy temperament, he would not even be an emperor, let alone a prince.

But no matter how I say it, I really don't want to continue doing farm work anymore. The sour and refreshing experience is really enough.

"Well, cousin, there are still many things that need to be taken care of by my uncle's business. I really want to work here, but I really can't get away from it."

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew what the prince was thinking, and he said that he should not be allowed to carry out the farmer's business to the end, so he also smoothed things over.

"Your cousin really has a lot of work to do, Tao'er, let him go to work in the fields later."

After dinner, Zhu Yuanzhang waited for the group to leave. Zhu Tao was thinking about Shen Wan'er, and his mind was a little distracted. The Water Margin was almost finished, should he think of a new book for her to read.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhu Tao, who had just been busy for a long time, wanted to sleep for a while to replenish his energy. At this moment, Old Tang came in suddenly and said.

"Young proprietor, the shopkeeper Hu of our restaurant is here. He looks very happy, as if he has something to say. By the way, he also brought a guest. He is wearing Jiangnan silk and satin, like a rich man."

Zhu Tao was taken aback, this shopkeeper Hu usually doesn't talk a word, he just met him once, what is he doing here this time, to report on the account of the restaurant, then there is no need to bring someone here.

But thinking that there might be something important, he still said: "Old Tang, you go and greet him, welcome shopkeeper Hu in."

As soon as Hu Weiyong came in, he saluted Zhu Tao first, and then said very politely: "Young master, I came here recklessly, don't take it for granted."

He pointed to the person next to him and said.

"This guest is Mr. Li Dayong, a friend of the owner's. He is also a wealthy businessman. He has been operating in the Western Regions and his family is very rich."

Seeing that he was a friend of his father, Zhu Tao naturally treated each other with courtesy. He also returned the gift, and said with a smile: "We are all a family, why are you so polite, old Tang, serve tea to shopkeeper Hu and Mr. Li, let's Speak slowly."

After Hu Weiyong thanked him, he took a seat next to him and said, "My boss, I am so anxious to come here because my boss and Mr. Li have negotiated a deal, and he wants to buy our telescopes in large quantities."

After finishing speaking, Hu Weiyong had a somewhat complacent expression on his expression.

The amount of information in this passage is a bit large, and Zhu Tao needs to digest it first. This is a deal coming to his door, which means that he is going to make a lot of money.

Now the telescope has formed an assembly line, unlike the time when rare things were more expensive, the cost has naturally been greatly reduced, and the more you sell, the more you earn.

Now that Dad can negotiate such a big deal, I really underestimated him before.

But after thinking about it, it's not bad for Dad to have a good background, but it's also more convenient for him to become a playboy.

However, if you want to be a dandy, you must not be short of money. Since this rich businessman has a fortune, then this telescope will naturally sell well. Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and said.

"Mr. Li, we produce telescopes here, but now we have just formed a production scale, and it is still a bit troublesome. The cost is a bit high."

Li Dayong hadn't spoken yet, but Hu Weiyong smiled slightly, and only said: "Young master, you really think our master is just an ordinary businessman. His friends are either rich or expensive. This Mr. Li is not short of money."

Only then did Zhu Tao remember that he had underestimated his father these days, so he asked, "Mr. Li, how much are you going to bid?"

Unexpectedly, Li Dayong was very stubborn. He directly made a decision and said, "Master Zhu, as long as the quality of the telescope passes the test, you can buy as many binoculars as you want. As for the price, just follow what your father said, 20 taels!"

Zhu Tao thought for a while, and now even the labor is counted. According to the standard of assembly line production, a telescope basically cannot meet the standard of one tael of silver, so he said.

"I can produce a hundred telescopes in ten days. If this is the case, I will go to supervise the production. This price is very suitable. I think you can double the price in the Western Regions."

Li Dayong laughed, unexpectedly, the young owner was quite humorous.

"Okay, that's it. I've brought 1000 taels of silver notes, and I'll hand over the rest of the money after the telescopes are in place."
