Chapter 397
"I'm wronged!"
Hearing Zhao Yu's questioning, Zhang Ran couldn't help but shout "unfairly", and then looked at Zhao Yu with a grievance and said, "Mr. Zhao, what you said is really unreasonable. We agreed at the beginning that 90% of the monthly income of the workshop garden was handed over to the Shaofu treasury, and 10% were left for our workshop garden to use for our workshop garden to maintain the daily operation of the workshop garden, as well as the improvement of various technologies such as oil grafting, salt making, wine washing, and wool washing, as well as the research and development of new technologies! This time I built a greenhouse, cultivated greenhouse vegetables, and planted leek mushrooms, but I did it strictly in accordance with the original agreement. There was absolutely no overpass, and I did not embezzle the money of the workshop privately!"
"Ha..." Zhao Yu heard this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Zhang Ran with some disdain and said, "Xiaolang, don't think I don't know anything! As a Shaofu, all the affairs in the Shaofu are basically under my jurisdiction, and even you are my subordinate... So, aren't I still clear about the affairs of Taiguan Garden?
The greenhouse built in Taiguan Garden is extremely difficult to build. The wood beams and columns used are all nanmu transported from the south. This wood is extremely hard and is a good material for building palaces and is extremely expensive... Moreover, as far as I know, the greenhouses in Taiguan Garden not only have strict requirements on the construction materials, but also need to cover the walls with pepper and set up fire pits and other objects after construction... In order to enable the leek mushrooms to grow normally in winter, the farmers in Taiguan Garden also have to burn torch in the greenhouse day and night. Such a huge expense is simply incredible!"
"This is too luxurious..." Although Zhang Ran had known that Taiguan Garden relied on spending money to cultivate greenhouse vegetables, Zhang Ran never expected that Taiguan Garden saw that the greenhouse was so particular. Even the wood was made of nanmu transported from the south, and the walls were covered with pepper mud... This specification and expense were almost as expensive as the emperor's greenhouse!
"Bang"
Just as Zhang Ran was secretly sighing, Zhao Yu slapped the desk angrily, looked at Zhang Ran with an unusual expression of anger, and said angrily: "Xiaolang, do you still refuse to admit it now? I really think that I am already dizzy, can no longer see the situation, and can't tell the right and wrong?"
"Oh," Zhang Ran couldn't help but sigh helplessly when he heard this, spread his hands and said, "Agree? What do you admit! Mr. Zhao is really not what you imagined. Please listen to me and say it completely? It's like this every time. Before I finish it, I started to guess secretly. Is it still blamed me for half of the time? Do you really listen to what I say seriously? Don't always have preconceived ideas, okay?"
After complaining about him in front of Zhao Yu, Zhang Ran hurriedly rushed the other party to get angry before saying to him: "Mr. Zhao, our workshop garden uses the expensive greenhouse of Taiguan Garden, but built it in a cellar. It uses the temperature of the underground in winter, which is slightly higher than the convenient conditions on the ground, and is planted... Our method consumes very little, even less than one percent of the Taiguan Garden. The only disadvantage at present is that the varieties that can be planted are relatively single, and we can only plant some vegetables such as leeks and mushrooms that are easier to stock. Others have not been studied yet!"
"Uh" When Zhao Yu heard Zhang Ran say this, he immediately realized that he might have really misunderstood Zhang Ran. As Zhang Ran said, although his decades of life experience have made him used to all kinds of ups and downs, it also firmly restricted his thinking. In addition, Zhao Yu himself is nearly fifty years old, so he can easily have preconceived ideas, which leads to misunderstandings!
"Xiaolang, I was wrong this time. I apologize to you!"
As the young minister, Zhao Yu is also a person who can take it and let it go. So when he learned that he had misunderstood the other party, he immediately stood up and apologized to Zhang Ran in public to express his guilt!
"It's okay, it's okay! Mr. Zhao please get up!"
Faced with Zhao Yu's actions, Zhang Ran didn't dare to urge him. He quickly stood up, stepped forward and helped Zhao Yu up, and said to him seriously: "It's just a little misunderstanding. Just say it's enough. Why should Mr. Zhao take such a big gift? What's more, we are here today, but we want to ask Mr. Zhao for help. Mr. Zhao is like this now, so why are we so embarrassed to speak?"
"Haha..." Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Zhao Yuqing couldn't help but roll his eyes, shook Zhang Ran's hand a little annoyed, waved his sleeves and sat down again, Shiran looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Tell me, what are you trying to do?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ran couldn't help scratching his head and said embarrassedly: "Uh, this... is nothing. I just want to ask Mr. Zhao to offer this item to Your Majesty with me, so that Your Majesty will be happy..."
"Don't go!"
Before Zhang Ran finished speaking, Zhao Yu's face suddenly changed, and the only smile on his face disappeared instantly. He glared at Zhang Ran impatiently, waved his sleeves with a little displeasure and said, "I am busy with official business, so how can I have time to do this flattery with you? I have to go to you by myself. I don't have that time to do that leisure!"
"What a flattery! How ugly it is to say. I call it good news, good news, good news?"
After saying important things three times, Zhang Ran also glared at Zhao Yu without being outdone, and said to Zhao Yu with a striking remark: "Have you forgotten by Mr. Zhao? More than a month ago, I made a military order in front of His Majesty, promising to make the profit scale of the workshop garden reach 100 gold per month before the beginning of spring!
Now, although it has not yet arrived before fulfilling the promise, I have done what I promised at the time. As long as we hand over the technology of our greenhouse vegetable cultivation to His Majesty, we can save at least tens of millions of dollars for our Shaofu every year! This is a few thousand gold!
Mr. Zhao, I am obviously a promise of a thousand gold, even more than a thousand gold, but I can save a few thousand gold every year. How come such a great thing becomes flattery when you say it? Have you ever seen such a flattering act that is beneficial to the country and the people?"
"Uh" Zhang Ran's words made Zhao Yu speechless. Although Zhao Yu knew that Zhang Ran was just trying to "show off and seek credit" this time, the reasons given by Zhang Ran were really hard to refute... Even Zhao Yu himself was unwilling to continue to find reasons to refute Zhang Ran!
After all, that's tens of millions of dollars! And you can save tens of millions of dollars every year. Such a huge number is enough to move anyone, and it is enough to make Zhao Yu, who is acting rigidly, temporarily put down his pride in his heart and accompany Zhang Ran to a shameless journey!
