Chapter 835: Don’t do business at a loss
Xinbao walked into the door with his hands behind his back and took small square steps, giving the officials in the waiting area a wise and majestic back.
Then as she entered the door, she looked back, spread her legs, ran in front of Emperor Mingpei like flying, and jumped up.
Emperor Mingpei quickly threw the book away, stretched out his hand to catch it, and said, "Does your leg hurt anymore?"
Xinbao paused: "I forgot."
She hugged his neck, her eyes shining: "Yeah yeah!! Do you think this is a good way to save money? "
Emperor Mingpei didn't understand: "What?"
"Xinbao is talking under your window, didn't you hear it?"
Emperor Mingpei said, "I heard it."
"So!" Tuanzi said, "A stupid official in this position will also receive the same salary, and a smart official in this position will also receive the same salary. So based on this, as long as officials are made smarter and more capable, and it is best if one person does the work of ten people, it is equivalent to saving salaries. Don't you think so?"
Emperor Mingpei could only nod: "Yes."
Xinbao said: "So people like Yeye, Daddy, Brother, and Xinbao, if they find that an official is not very smart, they should tell him and teach him. Although it takes a little time, in the long run, it is very cost-effective."
Emperor Mingpei: "...Xinbao is right."
Xinbao sat down happily: "But Xinbao is still not grown up, not very smart yet. To see the stupidity of these people, it takes the right time, right place and right people. So this matter is still mostly done by Daddy Yeye and brother. Don't forget it."
"Okay," Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "Yeah, I'll remember that. Although Xinbao is small, he is smart enough. He has only been in contact with Sun Changming for such a short time, but he has discovered his shortcomings and urged him to correct them. Xinbao is great."
Xinbao smiled sheepishly and said, "It's Ye Ye's teaching that's good."
The two of them blew each other's praises for a while as usual.
Emperor Mingpei was hugging his granddaughter and enjoying a warm parent-child time, but Xinbao suddenly remembered something, glanced at the clepsydra, then quickly jumped down, sat behind her desk, and began to tidy up her clothes, while asking, "Hua Shi Hua Shi, is your hair neat?"
Although it was very neat, Hao Huashi still went over and pinched the little face and the little hair bun: "Okay, it's neat now."
Xinbao sat upright and said, "Yanke, ask Lord Gan to come in."
Yanke left with a smile.
Hao Huashi ran over and whispered to Mingpeidi: "That Sun Changming is quite funny. Just now, he was walking out while laughing and kept saying 'too witchcraft', 'too witchcraft'."
Emperor Mingpei smiled and said, "I heard that he always wanted a daughter, but ended up having three sons."
It was rare for the emperor to be interested in gossip, so Hao Huashi was very supportive: "I thought these high officials all lived to old age."
"Not necessarily," Emperor Mingpei said, "In fact, many noble families attach great importance to the mother of the child. If the mother is of a bad family background, they will not allow her to have children."
As they were talking, Gan Baibi came in.
Because Yan Shirong said that he wanted to build a huge imperial pharmacy where each type of medicine could have at least one separate production line, so he picked a few places and presented them.
Xinbao didn't understand this kind of thing, so Emperor Mingpei just walked over.
The new chair was as big as the one in the imperial study, so two people could sit on it without any problem. However, the table and chair were made according to Xinbao's height, so when Emperor Mingpei sat on it, he looked particularly tall.
But Emperor Mingpei didn't care and looked at it carefully.
Because the production line uses hydraulic power, Gan Baibi is an extremely meticulous person. Yuan Shenjue went to Qingzhou before, so he even thought about the extremely cold weather. In addition to hydraulic power, this production line also takes manpower into consideration, and warmth is also taken into account to ensure smooth production under any conditions.
Emperor Mingpei nodded and praised him: "Gan Qing is very thorough in his work."
Gan Baiyu is not worthy of being weighed even if it is weighed together.
Then Emperor Mingpei pointed directly at one place: "Let's take this one, what do you think, Xinbao?"
Xinbao shook his head, then nodded: "Yeah, Yeah has the final say."
Emperor Mingpei laughed and handed it to Gan Baibi, saying, "Tell them to start work immediately, recruit more craftsmen, and finish it before the winter month."
Xinbao said, "Master Gan, you can also ask the pharmacist to make an appointment."
Gan Baibi asked: "Appointment?"
Xinbao said, "Isn't the supply in short supply now? Don't these drug dealers want more? After we build a big pharmacy, we will have a lot of goods next year. We can ask them to pay half, or a certain amount of money to make an appointment. Then we will send them the goods first after they are produced next year... If they want more, we can also ask Rangshanwei to send them."
She added: "Don't forget to calculate how much is cost-effective. We can't do business at a loss."
Gan Baibi said repeatedly: "Your Highness is wise. I will call someone to calculate it when I return."
Xinbao nodded.
Gan Baibi retreated.
When Li Songqing saw him leave, he happily handed his article to Xinbao to read.
Emperor Mingpei had been an emperor all his life, so when he saw a piece of paper being handed to him, he would take it out of habit.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Unless Xinbao was mentally prepared, she never felt that other people's paper had anything to do with her.
But unexpectedly, Li Songqing handed it to Xinbao, so Emperor Mingpei raised his hand and Li Songqing's hand went their separate ways.
If it were someone else, I'm afraid he would immediately pass it to the emperor halfway through.
But Li Songqing was a fool. Not only did he not change his way, he also looked at the emperor strangely and still insisted on handing it to Xinbao.
As a result, when Xinbao saw the paper being handed to him, he immediately became alert. He pushed his hand away like a flash, and then his hand touched Yeye's.
In this brief confrontation, except for Emperor Mingpei, I'm afraid that the old man and the child didn't realize what was going on.
Emperor Mingpei took it and looked at it with Xinbao.
In fact, Li Songqing likes Xinbao very much.
But his way of liking things is different from others. He usually follows Xinbao to study, talk and practice calligraphy every day. So in Xinbao's eyes, he is probably a real teacher. In later generations, he would be a class teacher, the kind that people keep a respectful distance from.
But when he wrote the article, between the lines, you can see his intention of cheering for Xinbao.
Li Songqing is a good writer and has a quick wit, so he can finish an article in one go.
For example, when talking about Zhang Jing in Xinbaotang, Li Songqing wrote an article about it the next day. After all, this family is quite typical, and it is true that you reap what you sow.
Now that Zhang Jing's crimes had been verified, he wrote another article.
This one is written in a somewhat shameless way.
It is said that the family style and parents can be seen from the children. It is difficult to check a shrewd adult, so how can you check the children? Children are easy to check, they are obedient! For example, Miss Zhang opened her mouth and said "Let my father report you". Obviously, this father is using this method to eliminate dissidents, rather than preventing problems for the court.
For example, if he was bumped by civilians, he would immediately order his men to beat them up. His father was definitely not a law-abiding person.
There are many, many examples.
In fact, this is not really wrong. Although it is not absolute, in many cases, children are indeed the mirror of their parents.
If this article were to be released, officials would certainly be more strict in disciplining their descendants, and even their wives and children, which would not be a bad thing.
So Emperor Mingpei smiled and nodded: "Not bad."
Li Songqing thanked the emperor, then looked at Xinbao with a sharp gaze, waiting for his little confidant to praise him.
