Chapter 21: Monarch, Minister, Father and Son
Zhu Gang opened his eyes and suddenly they brightened up again.

He understood it all at once, and straightened his back all of a sudden: "I understand, I understand, oh, I am really smart, I understand it immediately, haha... So, let's..."

Deng Qianqiu said: "It's too late. We must do everything we can to recruit manpower, prepare for large-scale production, and prepare raw materials. Your Highness, time is running out."

Zhu Jian nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice: "I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you all."

Deng Qianqiu blinked and said, "How do we calculate this deal?"

Zhu Gang said very straightforwardly: "You and I are brothers, closer than I am to my second brother, almost as close as my eldest brother. Whatever you say, that's it."

Deng Qianqiu asked, "How about adding two and one to make five?"

Zhu Gang said, "No problem, then add two and one to make five."

Deng Qianqiu thought for a moment and said, "But this involves gynecology after all. Your Highness is a prince. If I use your name, it won't sound good."

"Then just use your sign. I really envy you for being able to be in the spotlight." Zhu Gang said.

Deng Qianqiu waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, Your Highness, actually... I also want to save face."

Zhu Gang found it unbelievable. Was this so embarrassing?

Deng Qianqiu said, "What I mean is that we'd better ask someone to come forward. On the one hand, if he is in charge of the gynecological disinfectant, it won't cause dissatisfaction or aversion, so it's best to ask a woman. Secondly, it's best if this person is trustworthy. Your Highness and I can stay behind to avoid criticism."

"So that's how it is." Zhu Gang changed his mind and immediately responded with wisdom: "Why didn't you say so earlier? Isn't this easy? I have a candidate, just leave it to me."

Deng Qianqiu wanted to laugh in his heart. In fact, this is the so-called "legal person". If something really happens in the future, it will be used as a shield.

Of course, you have to be careful and never be the first to take action.

"Your Highness's candidate is..."

Zhu Gang said, "You are allowed to keep it a secret, but I am not allowed to keep it a secret? Well, right now, the most important thing for us is to produce the medicine on a large scale, and... can we still run this clinic?"

Deng Qianqiu said: "Of course we have to run it. We are losing money now to gain publicity, and naturally many people will come here to attract us! Besides, this is also good for your reputation, so we can kill two birds with one stone."

After hearing this, Zhu Gang held his chin with his hands in an inverted eight position and said, "It has to be this way. We have to take some losses."

Setting up a workshop is not a matter of a day or two. First you have to purchase raw materials and build a warehouse. In addition, you also need to recruit people.

Deng Qianqiu did not intend to take on any management work. He tried his best to avoid being in the spotlight. He was mainly responsible for the production process of alcohol and the training of personnel.

Of course, the process of making alcohol is divided into many steps. The purpose is self-evident, which is to prevent someone from stealing the secret recipe.

This was his first pot of gold. As long as he could keep the secret for a few years, it would be enough for Deng Qianqiu to make a fortune.

The disinfecting effect of alcohol is amazing. Even though ordinary people are slow to realize it, most of the medical clinics and midwives in Fengyang City know that Jishidiang has developed some kind of magical prescription that can greatly improve the safety of childbirth. In addition, it also has magical effects on external injuries.

Just when everyone was amazed at the efficacy of this miracle drug and worried that Jishidiang's low price would steal their patients, word suddenly came out that Jishidiang was looking for distributors to cooperate and sell the miracle drug together.

This made the doctors and midwives, who were originally worried, suddenly breathe a sigh of relief and began to inquire privately. Deng Qianqiu believed that the distribution model was the most correct choice, for a simple reason: neither King Jin nor he had much capital.

Yes, the two of them put in almost all their belongings, and Jishidiang is still losing money now.

They need to recruit a large number of people, set up workshops, and purchase raw materials. There is money everywhere, and the only way is to cooperate with distribution merchants, let them see the broad prospects in the future, and then divide the sales areas. After that, let them pay a deposit, and King Jin and Deng Qianqiu will use this money to expand production and thus supply goods.

Otherwise, what about the benefits of living two lives? Deng Qianqiu knew clearly that when it came to the ways of the world, he was just so-so in his previous life. With his limited skills, how could he beat the ancients?
As for the so-called reading and learning martial arts, hoping to stand out by this is to underestimate the ancients.

As for time travelers, they have the advantage of standing on the shoulders of giants. After all, they have absorbed hundreds of years of knowledge, especially the development of science and technology as well as commerce in the past few hundred years, which is indeed far beyond the imagination of the ancients.

As for giving up the advantages of being a time traveler and instead choosing to compete with the ancients in terms of wisdom and reading, Deng Qianqiu thinks that this kind of person... is crazy.

Now that everything is settled, it would be better to let Prince Jin Zhu Gang handle other matters.

This guy is born to be in the limelight, and he also provides credit and military guarantees for this deal.

He has no power or influence, but still wants to expand his business and protect it from being coveted by others. However, with Deng Qianqiu's current status, he is still far from achieving this goal.

Zhu Gang also started to get busy because many businessmen seemed to see the business opportunity and began to come to negotiate.

On the other hand, a property right agreement for the workshop was drawn up, and both Zhu and Deng Qianqiu signed their signatures. As for the "legal person" of the gynecological expert, Deng Qianqiu was also determined to give a little share, so the capital was divided into three parts, with Zhu Gang and Deng Qianqiu each getting 45%, and the "legal person" getting 10%.

"Your Highness, have you found the person?"

Zhu Gang said with a bit of pride: "I found it, I found it, I will do the work, just rest assured."

"May I ask your name?"

"Oh, why are you so nosy! Why, do you still not trust me? I've already left it to me, there will be no mistake! You will definitely be satisfied with this choice! However, I have to write a letter to ask her, lest she accuse me of acting on my own. You know me, I never force anyone to do anything."

Deng Qianqiu nodded. He felt that it would be safer after asking. After all, this kind of thing should be voluntary and cannot be forced. Otherwise, would he still be a human being?

……

On the other side, a quick letter was quickly sent to the Imperial City of Nanjing.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked exhausted, but at this moment, Zhu Biao brought a copper basin, placed it at Zhu Yuanzhang's feet, and took off his boots for him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was pleased and said, "Let us do this. You are the crown prince..."

Zhu Biao said: "Father, I am the crown prince, but I am also your son. Father is tired. As a son, it is only natural for me to wash your feet. This is the law of nature."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed out loud: "Well, well, well, it's rare that you have such filial piety! Oh, sometimes when I think about it, you are so much better than your other brothers. If all my sons were like you, there would be no need for me to worry so much."

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao with a smiling look and said, "But no one comes to my temple for no reason. My eldest son, you must have something else to ask me."

Zhu Biao also laughed. While placing Zhu Yuanzhang's bare feet in the warm water of the copper basin and wiping them with a towel, he said nonchalantly, "Yesterday, the memorial said that the county magistrate of Panyu County embezzled 79 taels of silver. Your Majesty has ordered the execution of his entire family. I wonder if this is a bit too much."

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, his thick eyebrows slightly lowered, and his tiger eyes became serious: "According to you, what should we do?
