Indeed, no one expected that there was this connection involved.

This suddenly popular floral water was actually invented and manufactured by Zhu Yunwen.

Therefore, it seems not surprising, or even quite normal, that Zhu Yunwen earned more than 100,000 taels of silver in a short period of time.

Who knows, I might be able to earn even more with this in the future. At least in the summer, I can earn a lot of silver with it.

Huang Zicheng was at a loss for words. The officials who had been pressing Zhu Yunwen about how he could come up with more than 100,000 taels of silver also fell silent.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that the money was really earned by Zhu Yunwen, he wouldn't have stood up to question it.

Now look what happened! Not only did it not cause Zhu Yunwen any harm, but it also left a very bad impression on him.

After that, Zhu Yunwen would likely have many more opportunities to make things difficult for himself.

Zhu Yunwen returned the floral water to Zhao Qingzhu, then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Grandpa, the source and origin of this money should be considered clean and legitimate, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Of course. If anyone dares to question it, we will be the first to punish them."

In fact, for the officials in the imperial court, there was no doubt at all that Zhu Yunwen was able to make floral water.

Because Zhu Yunwen did much more than just produce such a simple floral water; for example, he had previously explored various coal mines and developed methods for removing coal smoke.

This includes the cement used for ground paving and house construction, as well as the modification of cannons, pistols, and so on.

Any one of these items is enough to prove that Zhu Yunwen's improvements and inventions in these areas are beyond question.

This mere floral water is not worth mentioning at all.

If someone else had made it, it might have surprised and shocked people, but if Zhu Yunwen made it, it's nothing special; it's just normal operation.

This matter caused a minor disturbance, and then it ended there.

Huang Zicheng, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, left the court with some concern.

He had been keeping a low profile, worried that Zhu Yunwen would punish him, but he couldn't help himself today and stepped forward to defy Zhu Yunwen.

Now look what's happened! Not only did he not cause Zhu Yunwen any harm, but he also has to worry about whether Zhu Yunwen will punish him next.

After watching the officials leave, Zhu Yunwen took a walk with Zhu Yuanzhang and headed towards the imperial study.

Throughout the journey, Zhu Yuanzhang stammered, as if he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to speak.

Zhu Yunwen noticed this and frowned, saying, "Grandfather, you seem to want to say something but hesitates?"

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed and said, "There's something I'd like to discuss with you, but I'm not good at speaking, so I don't know how to bring it up."

Zhu Yunwen almost couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, "You're not good at talking? Then there's probably no one in the world who is good at talking."

Of course, he couldn't say this aloud, so he said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Grandpa, please feel free to ask if you need anything. There's no need to hold back."

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed once, and then said to Zhu Yunwen:

"Your floral water is so profitable, how about we... invest in it?"

Zhu Yunwen was immediately stunned. So it turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang was just jealous of how profitable his floral water was and wanted to get involved and share in the profits.
