My father is Jiajing

Chapter 109 Prince Yu's Height
The floating clouds in the east stretched lazily in the distant sky, and their color gradually changed. From slightly gray at the beginning, they quietly turned into a golden color when you weren't paying attention. It looked very beautiful hanging in the sky.

Zhu Zaigui was also moving slowly in the yard. He was wearing a loose moon-white Taoist home robe, and his hair was simply tied up with a white cloud-shaped hairpin.

At this moment, he was breathing evenly, with an inexplicable rhythm, as if his every breath was in tune with the rhythm of heaven and earth. Just when Zhu Zaigui was about to stop his movements, the early sun hidden under the moving clouds in the sky suddenly playfully broke through the clouds.

The first golden ray of dawn also happened to fall on Zhu Zaigui. Zhu Zaigui raised his eyes to look at the sun, which was not glaring at the moment, and stopped moving. He sighed, "Sure enough, the ancients were right: a day's plan begins in the morning!"

Zhu Zaigui took a deep breath and exhaled a long breath, then he felt refreshed.

Zhu Zaigui stood there and stretched out his hand, and Meng Chong, who was standing next to him, immediately handed a towel to Zhu Zaigui.

Zhu Zaigui naturally grabbed the towel and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Get ready for a bath."

Zhu Zaigui threw the towel in his hand towards Meng Chong again, and then gave the order.

Since the summer, Zhu Zaigui has been getting up very early, and every time he finishes practicing "Xiantian Gong" early in the morning before the sun jumps out of the clouds.

Such a lifestyle habit sometimes makes Zhu Zaigui feel a little incredible. You know, before traveling through time, Zhu Zaigui's biological clock was messed up. Sometimes he would not only sleep until noon, but also reverse day and night. Such a regular schedule was only possible before he went to college, relying on the constraints of the school.

But now he has no constraints at all and can sleep as long as he wants, but the amazing thing is that his current schedule is surprisingly good.

So sometimes Zhu Zaigui couldn't help but think that this might be related to the living environment in ancient times. In today's era, even electricity has not been invented. Whether it is day or night, there are very few things to entertain and have fun.

Unlike before the time travel, there are not only various entertainment options to tempt you, but also mobile phones, computers, game consoles, etc. that keep people awake all night.

Therefore, sometimes Zhu Zaigui could not tell whether he lived in the healthy Ming Dynasty or in the comfortable modern world with advanced science and technology.

After bathing, Zhu Zaigui ate half a pancake, a bowl of porridge, and a tea egg, then picked up a copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia and began to read.

If the copy of "Yongle Encyclopedia" in his hand were placed in modern times, it would definitely be a national treasure.

But now it has become a recreational reading material in Zhu Zaigui's hands. When Zhu Zaigui is free, he will ask Meng Chong to borrow a few books from the Hanlin Academy to use as entertainment during his daily playing time.

"Yesterday's No. 3 green tea experiment was quite good. The taste was very close to my ideal. The slight tea aroma, coupled with the sweet aftertaste of honey, can be considered a success."

Zhu Zaigui sat in a comfortable armchair with his legs resting on the stone table in front of him. A half-read copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia was placed on his legs. He raised his head and talked to Meng Chong beside him about yesterday's green tea experiment.

"Later, you can repeat the test a few more times according to the list of the No. 3 green tea test. After you make sure the taste and formula are correct, you can temporarily finalize the formula and have Zhang Erhe start making green tea bottles according to the sketch I drew earlier."

Zhu Zaigui continued to give instructions to Meng Chong. After experiencing yesterday's anxiety, Zhu Zaigui was particularly relaxed today.

Meng Chong replied: "Yes, I will do it right away."

Just when Meng Chong was about to go for the re-examination to select the No. 3 green tea recipe, Zhu Zaigui seemed to remember something.

"By the way, when will Li Shizhen arrive?" Meng Chong said, "I sent someone to invite Doctor Li early in the morning. It seems he should be arriving soon."

Zhu Zaiqi hummed, "Okay, then you can take the retest first. I will read some more books."

Meng Chong bowed, then left Zhu Zai's yard and went to the back house, where he continued to retest yesterday's No. 3 green tea recipe according to Zhu Zai's instructions. This matter was extremely important to both Zhu Zai's and Meng Chong.

Zhu Zaigui wanted to use it to make more money, while Meng Chong wanted to highlight his own importance.

After all, from the Yiran Tang incident to the present, Meng Chong has been a witness and an eyewitness, and he understands too well the importance his prince attaches to these things.

If he could maintain such participation and continue to gain the trust of his own prince, then his position now and in the future would be extremely stable.

Later generations like Teng Xiang, Chen Hong, Li Fang and others would never be able to compete with him.

Therefore, every time after Zhu Zaigui gave him a task, he would always try his best to complete it, for fear that he would not do it well and allow the other three to overtake him.

Zhu Zaigui continued to look at the book "Yongle Encyclopedia" in his hand, but at this moment Zhu Zaigui's mind seemed to begin to wander. He did not focus on the book in his hand, but was thinking about whether to launch another product in combination with green tea.

Having only one green tea drink seems a bit too thin. After all, Yirantang and Shunyi Industrial Park are no longer the makeshift team they once were, and it’s time to come up with new ideas.

From the perspective of product categories, the current industrial chain can be roughly divided into two categories.

One is the food industry centered around Yiran Sugar and Bingxin Sugar, and the other is the daily chemical products centered around ordinary soaps and high-end soaps.

These two categories are too thin in terms of scale and products, and will inevitably make people feel aesthetic fatigue over time.

Zhu Zaigui also believed that there was no impenetrable wall in this world. Although he could now protect the formulas of these products very well, there were many people in the industrial park after all, and there were always new and smart people in this world.

If some key points of his formula were leaked, Zhu Zaigui believed that there would definitely be extremely smart people who would grasp the key points and then derive competing products that were similar to his own.

Therefore, in order to maintain his leading position forever and to make the future industrial competition in the Ming Dynasty develop in a rich and healthy way, Zhu Zaigui had to speed up the pace of industrial upgrading and sell some mature formulas appropriately.

This will not only help them better maintain their advanced position, but also allow them to transfer some low-end industries that are showing signs of fatigue or other conditions, while making a fortune in patent fees. This is the long-term solution!

After all, with Zhu Zaigui's identity, he should not just focus on personal interests. Moreover, there is no end to the money to be made in this world. If he insists on pursuing these wealth figures, he will always fall behind.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui felt that he should change his mindset and look at the development of the entire industry from a higher perspective.

While making money for ourselves, we must also fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the entire market and the entire industry. In the future, more product formulas can be transferred and upgraded in this way, so that more smart people can participate, contribute their intelligence and ideas, and create and invent more new things.

And this is the height that Zhu Zaigui should stand at.
