Foreign businessmen?

The next day, Lu Yaoyao had breakfast early and took a carriage to the capital.

First, she went to the palace to see Emperor Hongwen and told her about her plan to open a workshop again and give the royal family two levels of income.

Emperor Hongwen was used to invitations like this from her. This girl was the first person who dared to do business with him, the emperor, openly in the imperial study room.

But one thing is for sure, Lu Yaoyao's businesses are really quite profitable.

It's just that Emperor Hongwen didn't have any shares in the small workshops in the villa in front of her, but he made a lot of money from the snowflake salt and iron business.

"Why do you suddenly think of doing business?"

Emperor Hongwen asked curiously.

"No, I plan to build a solar greenhouse in my mountainside villa, and I will bake some colored glaze. I will build workshops on both sides, so I can just turn it into a business."

"So that's it, but that glass is quite precious, and the materials and craftsmanship required should be top-notch. How about I use my internal funds to send you 50,000 taels of silver? What if it's not enough?"

Although he knew that Lu Yaoyao was rich, he had also helped the court a lot in the past, and these were all real contributions.

But in this case, the seniority would be messed up. He and King Jin were brothers. If he really recognized his adopted daughter, wouldn't Lu Yaoyao become King Jin's niece?

However, Lu Yaoyao was a daughter, and the title of princess was already at the top level. If she went up to the next level, she would be a princess. She was engaged to the King of Jin, so it would be inappropriate for her to be granted the title of princess of Jin.

Accept her as an adopted daughter? He really thought that even if they couldn't recognize each other, they would at least be able to treat her as father and daughter.

Being able to do business with Princess Wanfu, not to mention whether this thing can make money, even if it can't make money, the people in their family won't mind.

"I originally said that I would meet others in the afternoon, but now I don't have time. Qiu Shuang, please go to my grandfather's place tomorrow and ask them to help find some foreign businessmen. I need to meet them."

"The construction of this workshop requires three thousand taels of silver. I will divide it into ten shares. You take two shares, which is the capital of six hundred taels."

Lu Yaoyao also smiled and stopped Cheng Lixue, then looked at Dong Shan'er and said, "Sister Dong, you should already know that I plan to open another workshop. I wonder if you would like to do it with us?"

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen said with a smile: "In that case, I will give you one hundred thousand taels first. If your workshop is short of money, it will be used first. If there is no shortage, it will be used to build a mountain villa. If it is not enough, ask me again."

"

Only Dong Shan'er was teased so much that her face turned red and she smiled and hit Cheng Lixue.

As for recognizing her as a girl, there is no need to think about it.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yaoyao said that he still had to go to the eldest princess's house, and this time the workshop also planned to give some shares to the eldest princess.

"Yes, it is best to be foreign businessmen who often travel between Beichu and Southern Xinjiang. I have some business that I would like to discuss with them."

Not long after, this man saw Mr. Lu and repeated what Lu Yaoyao had told him.

However, we still arranged for Dong Shaner’s husband to accompany her and take care of her.

Afterwards, Lu Yaoyao had lunch at the Princess's mansion before leaving with the money.

Emperor Hongwen was also quite happy about this.

Not long after leaving the eldest princess's mansion, she met the maid next to Cheng Lixue. It turned out that Cheng Lixue knew that she was coming to the capital today, so he arranged for her to wait here early and planned to invite her over for a chat.

"Of course I do. Yesterday I listened to the people sent by Xiaoxue to explain the situation, and I was very happy immediately. Thanks to the princess, I am very happy."

Dong Shaner nodded again.

"You also know about this stock split, right?"

Hearing this, Qiu Shuang still wanted to ask, but Lu Yaoyao waved his hand and said, "Don't ask too many questions for now, you will naturally know in the future."

At the eldest princess's house, Lu Yaoyao explained her intention. Naturally, the eldest princess was very willing to join and immediately asked how much money it would cost to buy shares.

"Sister Dong is so impressive now. Look at Sister Princess, you have to be taken care of by so many people even when you leave the house."

"It doesn't cost anything at all."

Qiu Shuang was a little surprised. Their business seemed to have never had any cooperation with foreign businessmen.

Mr. Lu was also a little confused, how could he find foreign businessmen so smoothly?

After the matters here were settled, Lu Yaoyao returned to Chengyuan Villa with the money.

When Lu Yaoyao arrived at Cheng Lixue's house, Wen Miaomiao and Dong Shaner were both there.

"I know, I know everything. I have brought the money and I will hand it over to you later."

"Foreign businessman?"

"good."

Seeing her speaking so resolutely, Lu Yaoyao thought for a while and said, "In this case, then the emperor will give you six hundred taels of silver."

Afterwards, he asked Wang De to find someone on the money side to count one hundred thousand taels of silver, and directly asked the imperial guards to send it to Chengyuan Villa first for Lu Yaoyao.

Cheng Lixue smiled and joked, and Wen Miaomiao beside her also covered her mouth and snickered.

Hearing Lu Yaoyao say that there is no need to go, the eldest princess immediately shook her head and said, "Since we are buying shares to do business together, how can we not spend money?"

"I haven't been very well lately. Before I came here, my mother-in-law said that if the princess needs help, just send someone to the house."

Not to mention it was only three hundred taels of silver, even if it was more, they wouldn't care. After all, friendship cannot be measured in money, especially the friendship with Lu Yaoyao.

"That slave will send someone over now."

"Xiaoxue, don't make trouble, your sister Dong is inconvenient now."

"If your Majesty has money, it's okay to give it to your daughter first. Just after the Spring Festival, the construction of your mountainside villa will start."

"If you don't spend money, I won't participate. How can you take advantage of it in vain?"

Now Dong Shan'er can't leave the house at will. Cheng Lixue made the situation clear. Dong Shan'er's husband's family also knew that this was a good opportunity, so they allowed her to go out.

"That's not necessary. Although this glass looks very precious, it's actually just that."

"I have already taken advantage of the soap and wine shop in front of you. You must not continue to do this."

Therefore, he was also a little worried. He had no way to reward people for so much merit, so he could only give them more silver coins and treat them as rewards.

Soon, the people from Chengyuan Villa arrived at the Lu family and explained their intention. The concierge of the Lu family quickly went in to report.

At the same time, money was also prepared.

"Then my daughter will no longer be polite to the emperor."

"You damn girl, you actually laughed at me."

The eldest princess smiled and nodded, and Grandma Li beside her quickly stepped back to prepare some silver.

Cheng Lixue and Wen Miaomiao beside her also quickly said that they could also help.

However, he didn't ask too much and nodded in agreement. Since Lu Yaoyao needed it, he would help him find it.

"Dad, what are Yao Yao doing?"

"Doing business with foreign businessmen? We can't keep up with the domestic supply of the things we have. Wouldn't it be bad if we expand overseas?"

"And now people are saying outside that Dongzhou may go to war with Northern Chu and Southern Xinjiang. Will it cause trouble if we go to those foreign businessmen from Northern Chu and Southern Xinjiang at this time?"
