Don't be too confident. ”

Liu Chun patted the little eunuch hard, "You have to be clear, this time I went to sea to get whales, as long as I caught whales, I could make money, and only economic interests could drive continuous exploration of the ocean." After all, few people are willing to do a money-losing business. But how can you make sure you make money? I only have four words: sword business! To put it bluntly, you have to deceive and deceive, you have to take advantage of it, you have to use all kinds of despicable means, and if you want to conquer the sea, you have to turn yourself into a devil, you know? ”

The little eunuch's face was pale, his lips were pursed tightly, he was still arrogant just now, and now his heart was a lot lower.

"Really, really? Isn't fair trade okay? ”

Liu Chun shook his head and said earnestly: "You must know that the sea is ruthless, the sea is too risky, ten ships go out, and there may be seven ships left, there is no huge profit, who wants to go to sea?" If you want to make huge profits, fair trading does not exist, at least in the age of sailing, it did not exist. ”

Liu Chun chuckled, "If you figure it out, come to me." In this time, I also have to raise some money. Liu Chun didn't want to put too much pressure on the little eunuch, after all, there were very few people who were interested in the ocean these days.

Yoo Chun is willing to give him time!

"Your Excellency!"

Liu Chun only walked a few steps, and the little eunuch Ma He suddenly said firmly: "My lord, the slave and maid are not afraid, the slave and maid have figured it out!" ”

"Really?"

"Hmm!" He gritted his teeth and said: "I'm afraid that the slave maid has only this one chance in this life, the slave maid is unwilling to stay in the palace for the rest of his life, I have lost a lot of things, if I don't seize this opportunity, I am willing to die!" ”

Ma He gritted his teeth, and before he was ten years old, he had no worries about food and clothing, and there was nothing lacking in the family. He lived a good life as a rich young master. But after the age of ten, he was tortured by the palace and became a slave servant to the royal family.

From heaven to hell, really, he has nothing to fear!

"Very well, then I'm going to congratulate you in advance, Horse Owner!"

Liu Chun thought about it and stuffed a piece of jade pendant from Zhu Di to Ma He.

"Take it, beg for a living at sea, sometimes luck is more important than anything else!"

The little eunuch held the jade pendant tightly and said in a loud voice: "Being able to meet an adult is the greatest luck of the slave!" ”

……

Liu Chun was busy with the whaling fleet, and an old friend, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, came quietly.

"Liu Chun, do you say that the father is not a god? I didn't say anything, he asked me about the big water next door...... You know, I don't want to offend people, but when my father asked me, I couldn't help but say that they took the opportunity to annex the land of the people, and they could do all kinds of evil...... Look, my father is going to kill again. “

Zhu Hu said awkwardly: "Liu Chun, you said that those civil officials are all related to the family, will they blame me?" Me, I really don't want to say it. ”

Liu Chun didn't want to say, isn't it good that someone carries the black pot?

"Your Highness, this is also your duty, what is there to be afraid of, the sky is falling, Your Majesty will give it to you, don't worry!"

Zhu Hu pursed his lips and lowered his voice: "Okay, don't pick up nice things, I'm not a fool." First the eighth brother, then the crown prince, and now the king of Qin is still in Zongzheng Temple! What can I, a little feudal king whose grandmother doesn't love and uncle don't love? It's not like going with the flow and living with your eggs! ”

This one is self-aware.

Liu Chun chuckled and said, "Then why are you still entering Beijing at this time?" You know, I wish I could run! ”

Zhu Hu said: "Don't go, if you leave, people won't let you go...... Besides, if you leave, who will I go to Beijing to! ”

Look at what he said, the dignified King of Zhou actually used to defect, how much Zhu Hu looks down on himself?

His Royal Highness King Zhou did not feel the slightest awkwardness.

The last time Liu Chun gave him an idea, Zhu Hu really put in a lot of effort, invited famous doctors, and compiled three booklets, namely "Pocket Formula", "Puji Formula" and "Saving Waste Materia Medica".

The so-called pocket formula does not mean small, but can be kept at hand, tucked into the sleeve, and viewed at any time...... According to Liu Chun's suggestion, Zhu Hu did not seek perfection, but only chose 81 prescriptions.

The common feature of these recipes is that they have been tempered for thousands of years, they are indeed effective, and the medicinal materials are cheap and can be found casually.

In contrast, the scope of Puji prescription is much wider, with more than 300 prescriptions, and it still insists on using ordinary medicinal materials and strictly requires cost.

Medicine, throughout the ages, has had a contradictory problem.

Many people say that life is priceless, so even in order to extend the life expectancy a little bit, they are willing to give everything they have and do whatever it takes...... There is nothing wrong with that.

But at the same time, medical resources are very limited or even scarce.

Will it take a lot of effort to treat some patients who have little hope, or will it save more valuable lives?

Liu Chun couldn't give future generations a definite answer, but he was extremely sure that in Daming, it was better to save people first!

Simple, cheap, practical, and easy to promote, this is Liu Chun's request to Zhu Hu.

His Royal Highness King Zhou really lived up to expectations, and he even specially compiled a book of "Saving Famine Materia Medica".

As the name suggests, saving the famine materia medica is to tell you that when there is no food, those wild vegetables and weeds can fill the stomach, and those are poisonous and cannot be practical...... Zhu Hu collected 237 kinds of edible things in one go.

In a word, it's a grazing guide!

Liu Chun looked at Zhu Hu's writings, His Royal Highness the King of Zhou sat obediently on the side with his legs together, as if he was a primary school student waiting for the teacher to check his homework, and he was still a little nervous!

"Can it be done?" When he saw Liu Chun close the book, he couldn't wait to ask.

Liu Chun smiled, "Why can't it be?" I think Your Majesty will like it. ”

"Father?"

Zhu Hu scratched his head, "If you don't alarm his old man, just let the bookstore print it." I've got 50,000 yuan in stock! ”

Although the vassal prince's mansion is not short of money, Zhu Hu is not good at business, and he can come up with 50,000 yuan, which is already considered to be his best.

"Your Highness, didn't you enter Beijing just for these books? If you don't show it to Your Majesty, won't it be in vain? ”

Zhu Yan grinned, "Liu Chun, what are we talking about!" Me, I'm awkward! ”

"What's awkward?"

"My father made the emperor a grandson...... Of course, I don't have any extravagant expectations. It just made me salute my nephew, and I felt a little uncomfortable. ”

Liu Chun snorted, "Your Highness, you'd better have a good relationship with the Taisun, don't be unhappy yourself!" I'm the master of Taisun now, be careful that I sue you! ”

Zhu Lu was anxious, "I, I treat you as a friend, how can you trap me?" ”

Liu Chun just shook his head and said meaningfully: "Your Highness, you should have more eyes!" ”

Turning the day, Liu Chun followed Zhu Hu to face Jun together.

After handing over the three books, Lao Zhu read them very seriously.

Zhu Biao's death touched him too much, the prince of a country can't escape the pain, let alone ordinary people! How many people, after being infected, either wait at home to die, or can only pray to the gods and witch doctors for help.

Then I just carried the pig's head, went to the temple gate to burn incense, got some incense and came back to drink.

"These three books of yours are very well compiled, and they should be distributed to every household!"

Zhu Hu was shocked, and couldn't help but say, "Father, isn't that the same as Da Huo?" ”

Lao Zhu was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Da Yu is afraid that the people will be bullied by corrupt officials and corrupt officials, these three books are to save the people, they are all made up for the people, so what's the matter?" Zhu Hu, you have made a great contribution! ”

Lao Zhu smiled very happily, and even glanced at Liu Chun, as if to say, don't think that my sons are all straw bales, bastards, like Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, it's very good!

Lao Zhu was also injured by several sons in a row, and he was very happy to suddenly see a sensible person. chatted with Zhu Hu a lot, and asked him about the process of compiling the book, and Zhu Hu answered them one by one.

In the end, Lao Zhu said: "In this way, it is not easy for you to make up a book, and the emperor will add 5,000 stone to your annual salary." ”

When Zhu Huan heard this, instead of accepting it, he said: "Father, the son of the emperor compiles books, there is no other idea, if the father wants to reward the sons, just use the money and grain to print the books." ”

The more I listen, the more sensible I become.

Lao Zhu smiled: "Liu Chun, how much does it cost to print medical books, do you have a plan?" ”

Liu Chun said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that printing is still a trivial matter, but there is one thing at the moment, that is, how to calculate the manuscript fee for these three books compiled by His Royal Highness King Zhou?" ”

"Manuscript fee?" Lao Zhu was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, why were medical books scarce in the past? Not only medical books, but also arithmetic, hundred crafts, and all kinds of practical books, are very few. Many of them are passed on by word of mouth, and even go missing. The minister thinks that His Majesty should take these three books as an opportunity to publish some useful books, and give some shares to the compilers, such as these three medical books, for every time one volume is sold, he will give His Royal Highness King Zhou a profit of ten cents, how about it? ”

"Shiwen! Too little! I don't want it. Zhu Hu said humbly.

Lao Zhu snorted, "Fool, it's ten wen per book!" ”

Liu Chun said with a smile: "That's right, these three books are at least tens of millions of books, and it is no surprise that His Highness can receive hundreds of thousands of manuscript fees!" ”

"What? That's too much, right? Zhu Hu hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head again and again, where did he dare to ask for it.

It's Lao Zhu, he pondered for a moment, and seemed to remember, he has also published a book, and he hasn't asked for money yet! couldn't help but say quietly: "Ahem, this manuscript fee, my big message, should I also collect the manuscript fee?" ”

Liu Chun hurriedly said: "That's natural...... Your Majesty, please think about it, you and His Royal Highness King Zhou take the lead, who would dare to oppose it. There is money to be made by publishing books, and those doctors are willing to publish books. Soon there will be an abundance of books on the market. People can learn all kinds of useful knowledge, which is a multi-tasking thing. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed his beard and groaned slightly: "So, I have to collect money?" ”

"That's right! It's only right to make money by relying on your ingenuity! ”

Old Zhu smiled reservedly.

Zhu Hu is an honest child in the end, "I, I don't dare to ask for it!" ”

"Your Highness doesn't want it, the minister has a way, why don't you use this money to build a medical school in the capital?"
