After hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words and seeing the encouragement in His Majesty's eyes, Chen Tong suddenly felt refreshed.

So I began to talk about what I saw and heard in the workshop.

"One of this is because I discovered that in this workshop, there is a kind of person who has a very high salary, but they don't do anything to do, and they just accompany their merchants to drink wine all day long. What's the point of being idle? I think these people need to be cut off to save money."

"In addition, there is also the salt used for pickling fish, which is really a waste of resources."

"In addition, I also found that the cost of night production is particularly high, but here, a two-shift system is adopted, day and night production. Your Majesty, think about it, not only is the salary that comes to work night shifts a few hundred percent higher, but the candles that are spent on this night are also amazing."

"I have found..."

He pointed out many disadvantages in one breath.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "The prince is good in other places, but he doesn't cherish things. He is good at the deep palace and does not understand this principle. Fortunately, the Qing family criticized him. If not, he would not know how much money the workshop cost every month. It is said that if he is not in charge of the family, he does not know the price of firewood and rice. This prince... Even if he is in charge of the family, he still doesn't understand it. It's no wonder that others are not. After all,... this is a huge profit."

"The Qing family is very economical. I really underestimated you in the past."

Chen Tong felt like he had eaten honey and hurriedly said, "I also discovered something. Sometimes... the production of this workshop will slow down, but... the craftsmen and apprentices still pay their salaries. Here... I think there is something wrong with it. It seems that someone in this workshop has deceived the prince. I think no one in this workshop is clean."

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

"Yeah?"

I got my salary, but I was working on a foreign worker...

Is this still a human?

Fang Jifan said that the original intention of letting the prince come to this workshop was to let the prince understand the way of business, learn how to manage finances, and be able to stand alone.

But now it seems... there are problems everywhere.

Think about it, everyone from all over the world is deceiving the prince. If one day the prince becomes the emperor, wouldn’t the civil and military officials in the court use the prince as a monkey to play with it?

Emperor Hongzhi's face suddenly became gloomy and looked particularly terrifying.

A workshop is a trivial matter.

Even if it can create great benefits, it is nothing to the emperor and the prince.

But if you think deeply that the prince was deceived like this but knew nothing, what should I do in the future?

"Oh..." Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said with concern: "My son is a genius, but he lacks the skills to control people."

Seeing that Your Majesty transferred the topic of this workshop to the issue of the future crown prince reigning the throne. He was shocked and hurriedly said, "The prince is the most real and resourceful, which is his advantage. However, the prince has never learned the art of controlling people, and he has always been assisted by the Duke of Qi. Naturally, his learning in this area has been slackened. I think that learning this art of emperors must start with the art of emperors, which is why the Eastern Palace has always read Zizhi Tongjian. Of course... This is not what I should say, I am talking nonsense, so please don't blame Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi was not cold to Zhu Houzhao.

I just think... this guy is good at everything, but he doesn't know how to cherish anything. He sets up a lot in this workshop, wastes money and food, and is blinded. This...

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Chen Tong and said cautiously: "Listen, you are willing to tell me these words, this is your loyalty. But the same words, if you yell around, this is a death sentence, do you understand?"

Chen Tong was in agitation.

He felt a wonderful future, and he was right in front of him, and hurriedly said, "I understand that the crown prince is the crown prince. I will never dare to criticize the crown prince when it comes to the outside world."

Emperor Hongzhi's face calmed down a lot, and he said, "Clear the disadvantages of this workshop. I feel relieved to do this by your family."

Chen Tong then kowtowed: "I started from the fields and was loved by Your Majesty and put in heavy responsibilities. How dare I slacken off? Within half a month, this workshop will definitely be completely renewed."

As he said, tears blurred.

These are tears of happiness.

How many ministers have pursued their lives but never encountered such opportunities.

And now, the opportunity is right in front of him. Like all the lucky ones in history, Chen Tong felt that he would soon be in the prime minister.

After seeing Chen Tong off, Emperor Hongzhi continued to read the dense reports.

The workshop has a large daily input, but the expenses are also huge.

The countless numbers made Emperor Hongzhi dizzy.

…………

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan had a rare rest. In the past half month, they had nothing to do, so they simply rode their horses around the West Mountain.

Fang Jinglong was recuperating at home for more than a month and was refreshed, so he took the two of them to hunt and was very happy.

Fang Jifan followed Fang Jinglong and Zhu Houzhao. They hunted and ate the delicious foods that they had all the way back, including pepper, salt, sesame oil, and these were holy products for burning wild game.

Fang Jifan finally understood why these nobles from ancient times, China and abroad loved hunting, because they were really delicious.

I lived a few days so happily.

On the 14th day.

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan rushed to the workshop with great enthusiasm.

Happy days always pass very quickly, and the gambling game will finally have a result.

Although Zhu Houzhao was full of confidence before.

But……

When the answer was revealed, Zhu Houzhao was still a little nervous.

Along the way, in the car, Zhu Houzhao looked at Fang Jifan nervously and said, "Jifan, do you think... will your father suddenly become smart and become smart, and he really manages this workshop?"

Originally, it was easy to understand the situation of the workshop.

But Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan both waited for the result honestly.

In fact, if you do some damage behind the scenes, it is actually easy.

But cheating against the emperor is seeking death. You beg the emperor not to cheat or cheat. If your Majesty finds out any clues, the workshop will be gone.

Fang Jifan glared at him, but he was also up and down. He felt a little up and down: "You are just saying now? Be prepared to spend all your money and pay half of my workshop."

Zhu Houzhao immediately didn't dare to speak.

The two arrived at the workshop.

But I found that the workshop was filled with a rotten smell.

The two looked at each other.

But at this time... the entire workshop was in chaos.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... a few more craftsmen left, saying that they would make a difference..." Li Dongyang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He could not understand why these craftsmen left.

But the most difficult thing to deal with at the moment is the rotten smell everywhere. After all... these pickled fish... who knows that if you put less salt, it will rot like this?

When so many pickled fish are produced every day, any part of them has problems, and the consequences are disasters.

"Hurry up, go and recruit people. As long as you have wages, are you worried about not being able to recruit people?" Emperor Hongzhi looked haggard: "Call Chen Tong."

Chen Tong came in a hurry. When he saw Emperor Hongzhi, he bowed: "I have seen it..."

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him: "How is the current birth?"

"It's great, it's really great." Chen Tong said: "I kept urging production day and night, and those lazy guys were severely punished, so... the output is much higher now than when the prince was there, and the only problem... is..."

He looked up and looked carefully at Emperor Hongzhi: "The only problem is... the warehouse seems not enough. The ten-full-tonifying dew is now piled up like a mountain. I... I think... I think... should I build a few more warehouses."

Chen Tong looked inconvenient.

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

On the other side, Liu Jian hurried over: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... is not good."

Liu Jian was out of breath. He was already old, but he was out of breath and wanted to die at any time: "Your Majesty... It's not great. Just now... the merchants from Shanxi said they wanted to reduce orders, from 1,300 bottles to 200 bottles."

"Only two hundred..." Emperor Hongzhi was stunned. I have produced so many ten-full-tonifying dew here, and this guy can't even hold it.

"Why...is this?"

"Somehow," Liu Jian said laughing and cryingly: "If they ask, they don't answer, and the old minister just needs to put the knife on his head."

Emperor Hongzhi felt very annoyed, and subconsciously picked up the cup filled with warm white water on the desk, took a sip of white water, and then said, "Ask them, the price is reduced to them, how about the nine-liang silver shipment?"

Liu Jian said with a sad look: "Old minister has tried this method. At the beginning, he said he wanted to reduce the order to 500 bottles, so he proposed that some discounts could be given appropriately. Who knew that they said on the spot that only 200 bottles were there, and only 200 bottles were the result of the old minister's persuasion."

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked.

Is this group of merchants...who is in his mind?

Give them discounts, but they don’t want it?

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Chen Tong: "What about the revenue in the past few days? Let me show you the revenue."

"I haven't come out yet, but... I think I'll come out soon." Chen Tong looked at Emperor Hongzhi timidly: "Your Majesty... don't... don't worry. These days, we... have saved a lot of money."

Yes, to be honest, I seem to have saved a lot of money these days.

But... Emperor Hongzhi still felt something was wrong.

The key to the problem is that he doesn't know where the problem lies.
