After the prince was able to travel through time, he stopped rolling!
Chapter 48 Reactions from all parties
"Mother, do you think the beauty salon opened by the Crown Prince is that profitable?" The Second Prince Xuanyuan Fengyi said uncertainly.
"How can I not make money? Do you know how much money I have to pay for a box of facial cleanser from the prince?" Concubine Zhao rolled her eyes at her son.
"How much?"
"This number" Concubine Zhao pointed a number to the second prince.
"100 taels? That's so much."
[Then the prince must have made a fortune] Xuanyuan Fengyi calculated in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out anyway. He only knew that the prince made a lot of money.
"Mother, is the Crown Prince competing with the people for profit? Do you think we should have someone report him?" The Second Prince felt that he had finally caught the Crown Prince's weakness.
Concubine Zhao is much smarter than the second prince. After all, she is an old hand in palace fighting.
"Don't be impatient. I don't think the prince will be so reckless. Let's wait and see."
Waiting for someone else to take the lead, Concubine Zhao did not say this, and the Second Prince was not stupid.
"I understand, son." Xuanyuan Fengyi nodded, not quite understanding.
A few days later, in the court.
"Your Majesty, I would like to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," a minister stood up.
"What is the matter, my dear minister?" asked the emperor.
"Your Majesty, a shop called Beauty Salon has appeared in the capital recently. It is said that the boss behind the scenes is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The prices in this shop are high and the people are complaining. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly," said the minister with a bow.
The emperor looked at the prince, and the prince stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this beauty salon is indeed opened by me, but the people I sell things to are all the ladies in the backyards of those masters, and the profits are all kept in my private treasury."
General Xiao Yi stepped forward and said without avoiding suspicion: "Your Majesty, I think there is nothing wrong with the prince's action. Nowadays, women all love beauty, and opening a beauty salon will be convenient for everyone."
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is competing with the people for profit," another minister stood up and said.
For a while, there was endless debate in the court.
"Prince, can you explain it yourself?" Emperor Xuanyuan looked at the ministers who were arguing. On the contrary, the little prince didn't care at all. Instead, he had an expression of watching the fun.
"Your Majesty, I have said before that the profits from the beauty salon did not go into my private treasury. Aren't you and the ministers curious about where the money went?"
At this time, the ministers who had been arguing endlessly looked at the prince, waiting for him to give a reason. If he said something unreasonable, they would report him and ask Emperor Xuanyuan to depose the prince.
If Xuanyuan Ruize knew that these ministers were thinking in this way, he might not have explained it, which would have been exactly what he wanted.
But when he thought about all his money being confiscated, the prince had to explain. Everyone thought the soap workshop and the beauty salon were one and the same, so the prince gave a confusing explanation. He did not specifically mention the soap workshop.
"Your Majesty, I have used all the money I earned from my beauty salon to build a school!"
"Isn't this still a profitable business? No, no." Minister Situ was unhappy. As an unfavored bastard working under the Crown Prince, he knew how considerable the profits of a beauty salon were.
Even if Situ Junwen did not leak the information, because he was his son, Shangshu Situ sent someone to investigate. Moreover, his wife often went to the beauty salon for treatments, so how could he not know?
"Master Situ, you may not know that my academy is different from other academies."
The prince said confidently, this is a compulsory education method learned from modern times! This method is used by later generations, but it can be seen how many students can benefit from the academy!
"Prince, please tell me carefully."
Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't bear to see Xuanyuan Ruize continue to sell his views, so he urged the prince to continue explaining. He really wanted to see these ministers get slapped in the face by the prince. It was because they did nothing in their normal years. Whenever he had any ideas, he was always obstructed by these ministers, and their reasons were all reasonable.
Emperor Xuanyuan now likes the little prince's behavior of acting first and reporting later more and more. The little prince's every move is under his nose, and he knows exactly what he has done. The reason why he did not stop it is because it does not require him to spend money and can benefit students all over the world. Such a good thing will definitely support the prince.
But if this matter was brought to the court at the beginning, it would be a problem whether it could be carried out, and who would be entrusted with the task, where would so much money come from? How much of it would actually be used for the academy? Therefore, it was the best option for the prince to directly pay for it and supervise it personally.
If it was any other prince, Emperor Xuanyuan might have considered the consequences, but if the crown prince did it, it would be a great achievement for him to ascend the throne in the future, which was just right.
"Father, the academy I run is for children from poor families. They can study for free. The academy provides pens, ink, paper and inkstones. They just need to go to class. Of course, the common people who work in my place have priority to apply."
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing." As an uncle, Xiao Yi must support his nephew.
The other adults thought about it and praised the prince.
As for what I think in my heart, I will definitely not say it out loud.
[Is this prince stupid? Giving away so much silver]
[You still have to be a prince, serving the people and the country]
[Fortunately, I did not follow the Crown Prince to report it. It would not be worth it to settle accounts with him after he ascended the throne.]
Anyway, Xuanyuan Ruize doesn't care what everyone is thinking. He just wants to live a comfortable life now. At the same time, it is his duty to do something for the people. His sister said that the greater a person's ability, the greater the responsibility.
Emperor Xuanyuan was very pleased and praised the prince highly, expressing his full support for the construction of the academy.
[Of course, the prince was also rewarded with some gold, silver and jewelry]
Upon seeing this, other ministers followed suit and praised the prince's good deeds.
However, amidst the flattery, there was a pair of eyes flashing with cunningness.
This person was the second prince Xuanyuan Fengyi. He realized that the prince's move not only won the hearts of the people, but also won the emperor's approval. Fortunately, he did not speak up to criticize the prince first.
