Chapter 396 The Young Prince Responded
"This position must be occupied by our own people. I can't suppress them, but you can. These people are also here for their own purpose, and so are we. It can be regarded as a mutually beneficial and win-win group. They want to take advantage of our power and find a big backer for themselves. We want to use the money in their hands to do some things on our side. It is a win-win situation.
If we don't gather these people into our hands, they will probably turn to others for better development and survival. These people are money bags, if they are not in our hands, they will be in the hands of others. Do you think we can prevent such money bags from falling into the hands of others?"
"I understand what you mean, but the problem is, I don't know much about this either. I don't think I can handle this position well."
"You don't need to understand this. To put it bluntly, it's a gentleman's deal. He lends his power to them so that they can keep safe. Part of their money can be used for our country's construction and various disaster relief. Of course, if you do a really good job and it's more meaningful, you can ask your eldest brother or the government to see how to do it specifically."
"Okay, let me think about it."
"Ah."
"Are you sure you don't need me to do anything special?"
"No need. They want to join us, not us. This is a game of mutual benefit. Of course, if after a few years, you are really capable of making this an iron rule, then you will have made a great contribution."
"But, little black charcoal, what do you want?"
"I just want our dynasty to get better and better, and for the people to have enough food to eat and live and work in peace and contentment."
This is just right. If Shen Ruyi's wealth and power were too great, she would die without a burial place.
Since ancient times, it has been difficult for meritorious officials to have a good ending. Killing meritorious officials is the norm in history, and not killing them is the exception.
Conscience is too vague and ethereal, Shen Ruyi doesn't believe in it. She only believes in naked human nature, so she must grasp the right degree. Being strong enough, but not so strong that the superiors are afraid of it, is her living space.
"I always feel that you are weird and I can't understand you."
"You don't need to understand. You just need to know that I won't harm you. We are on the same side. You can also ask your family to find you an aide to handle matters here."
"Okay, I accept."
The matter is settled.
Afterwards, the two chatted some more about the construction of the library and the copying of various books. Fortunately, everything was going very smoothly.
After talking about business, the young prince talked about how the various sauces and dishes he brought home a few days ago were basically very popular.
"Watermelon sauce tastes good too. It's called watermelon sauce, so it can't be made from watermelon, right?"
Shen Ruyi recalled that when she first heard about this sauce on the Internet, she had the same soul-searching question. At first, she couldn't figure out how watermelon could be made into sauce. It always felt like a joke.
After eating it and watching some production videos online, I realized that it was true. It can really be made into a sauce, and it tastes quite good. At least Shen Ruyi particularly likes to eat it.
So he said: "Yes, it is made of watermelon. When we grow watermelons for two or three years and they become worthless, we will make them into watermelon jam and sell them. It is not cost-effective to sell them now because the cost is too high and it is laborious."
"Okay, let's wait until watermelons become cheaper. I feel bad about using this year's watermelons to make it. That's all hard-earned money. But, do you have any left after you make it?"
"Yes, you can take more with you next time you go to the villa. What about other pickled cabbage and kimchi? Do you like them?"
"Well, I personally think it's delicious, but some people in the mansion are not used to it. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether they are used to it or not."
"Hahaha, that makes sense. Just get used to it. I made those originally just to give my family a different taste."
"But the hot pot base you gave me is very fragrant. My mother especially likes it."
"I like to eat it, too. You can use it to cook all kinds of meat or vegetables. You can cook whatever you like. When the weather gets cold, we can serve it in our restaurant. Especially in winter, eating it around the fire is warm and happy."
"Well, is this easy to make? The ingredients look quite complicated."
"It's OK. There's no problem supplying our First Floor and Meiyuan. If you want to sell this material separately, you need to set up a new workshop to make it. Why, do you want it to be mass-produced?"
"Let's do this for now. Mass production may not make our restaurant more profitable. We'll see after we promote it."
"Yes, that's what I was planning too. It depends on the situation. If the demand is particularly high, we can produce it specially. The one I gave you that day was beef hot pot, which cannot be mass-produced. However, we also have clear oil hot pot base, tomato-flavor base, and three-flavor base."
"It's really not possible to make a large amount of butter. It's not that good. Speaking of which, haven't you made some beef jerky recently?"
"No, the cows we raise at home are in the breeding stage, so we can't bear to kill them. I'll ask someone to try their luck at the market to see if they can find one. When you mention it, I'm tempted too."
"Have you been busy these days? If not, I'll have our village kill one and we can make jerky."
"sure."
Shen Ruyi deliberately delayed for a few days. When Boss Qin and Boss Xue and their group were getting anxiously waiting, she finally delivered the news, saying that the young prince had agreed, amid everyone's great anticipation.
Only those who work hard for it will cherish it, and those who rush for it will often not be cherished.
These people were still afraid that the young prince would change his mind halfway, so they brought a lot of gifts and came to visit Shen Ruyi again, saying all the nice things they could, hoping to make an appointment to meet with the young prince to settle the matter once and for all.
Shen Ruyi didn't refuse, but agreed directly, and set the time for their meeting for the next day. She notified the young prince, and that was it.
As for the young prince, after returning that time, he still met his elder brother first and told him about this matter. After thinking about it, the young prince still suggested to inform the emperor and see what the emperor meant. The location of their mansion is also very delicate, and they must always pay attention and never cross the line.
The young prince knew that it was right to listen to his elder brother in this regard, so he went to the palace to meet the emperor the next day.
When the official heard about this, he didn't react much, because Xiao Heitan had consulted him about this matter some time ago and he knew everything about it.
What surprised him was that Little Black Charcoal himself did not hold power, but pushed this little fool to the top. However, looking at the young prince who was still young and had no brains, he suddenly realized that this position was indeed the most suitable for the young prince.
"Okay, I get it. Just do your best. If you don't know anything, you can ask Little Black Charcoal. She has a quick mind and is easy to use. She won't suffer any loss. If you are undecided, you can ask the little prince or me. It's either way."
