Chapter 538 If the county lord takes it, there is no need to give money
He Yunxi felt a little sad. If his grandmother had been here, his mother and Lu Yan probably wouldn't have suffered so much.
"Why haven't you heard any news from the Liu family yet?"
"Since then, the relationship between my grandmother and Liu Shangshu has deteriorated, and the second uncle is also dissatisfied with the actions of Liu Shangshu and his uncle. A few years later, Liu Shangshu died of illness, and the two uncles were released one after another, and my grandmother followed the second uncle's family.
Take office." Lu Yan said.
"Have you never met them in your previous life?" He Yunxi asked.
Lu Yan shook his head: "No. In my previous life, at least before I died, they probably didn't transfer back to the capital."
"Looking at my mother's behavior, I still miss my grandmother." He Yunxi said, "It would be great if I could know where my grandmother is."
"Isn't this simple? The Ministry of Civil Affairs will have records of where all officials serve. Just check it out when the time comes." Lu Yan said.
"That's true. However, the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Third Prince have become in-laws, and their relationship with us is no longer good. If we want to investigate, I'm afraid they won't agree so easily, right?" He Yunxi asked.
Lu Yan thought about it and said, "Then prepare some food and I'll go find Mr. tomorrow morning."
"Ha, let Uncle Xie go, okay. I'll fry him some crispy pork ribs tomorrow. This is easier to bring, and he likes it too." He Yunxi said.
"Can."
"By the way, Huang An and the others are here today. I asked them to go to the County Lord's Mansion. I plan to go to the County Lord's Mansion after I get my mother's dowry back. I heard that the County Lord's Mansion is very close to the Hanlin Academy.
If you are too busy to come back in the future, you can rest there."
"How about we move there?" Lu Yan suggested.
He Yunxi thought for a while but refused: "Let's forget it. I think it's good to live here. Except that it's a little far away for you to go to the Yamen, everything else is good. Besides, the concubine is also used to the life here, so she moved to the county
The main palace is surrounded by dignitaries, and grandma is not as free as she is now."
Lu Yan thought about it and didn't mention it.
He wasn't that interested in living in the county lord's mansion, but he just felt that it would be more suitable for her status.
The next day, Lu Yan went out with the fried pork ribs prepared by He Yunxi. He Yunxi was about to go for a walk outside the city when he heard that someone was looking for him.
"I have met Chang'an County Lord. Young Wu Gou is the general manager of Liulichang and is responsible for the accounting of your mother's dowry shop." The visitor said.
He Yunxi nodded: "Mr. Wu, hello."
Wu Gou presented a booklet with both hands: "County Lord, this is the result we got after taking inventory of all the account books of nine shops over the past fifteen years."
He Yunxi took the booklet and flipped through it. When he saw the last number, he took a deep breath.
Nine of the nine shops make a profit. The one who makes the least earns one thousand taels a year, and the one who earns more earns ten thousand taels. After fifteen years, the nine shops have three hundred and three thousand taels!
Three hundred and three thousand!
Ji Qin took the money and lived a happy life in the capital, while Liu, Lu Yan and others suffered in the south!
He Yunxi was very angry and said coldly: "I told her to give her 10% of the profits as management fees, so I have to ask her to pay back the remaining two hundred and seventy-two thousand and seven hundred."
"The younger one has asked someone to send an excerpt of the results to Ding'an Bo's house. It should be in Ding'an Bo's hands now," Wu Gou said.
"Left it to Amber Ding?"
"Yes. The queen confessed that this matter should be known to Ding Anbo, so the result should be handed over to Ding Anbo."
He Yunxi smiled: "Yes, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, this is what young people should do." Wu Gou said with a smile.
Others don't know, but as the manager of Liuli, he naturally knows that this Liuli prescription was presented by He Yunxi, and he also knows how much the emperor values her.
The emperor had promised to make the glazed equipment she had requested before, regardless of the cost.
Even the stray windows in the palace are ranked behind this.
If you can build a good relationship with He Yunxi, you might be able to gain favor in front of the emperor.
"By the way, Mr. Wu, I would like to ask, when is the queue for these custom-made glazed windows?" He Yunxi asked.
"Does the county want to replace the glazed windows?"
"Yes. I want to replace the windows at home with glass. Now that the weather is hot, mosquitoes are gradually coming out. If you open the windows to let in light, mosquitoes will always fly in." He Yunxi said.
"If the county lord wants it, of course it can be made right away." Wu Gou responded, "Now a batch of glazed windows have come out of the glazed workshop. If they are of the right size, they can be sent to you directly. If the sizes are different, the next batch will be sent to you.
You can make one batch.”
"Will this affect your delivery?"
"No, the orders we take are not urgent." Wu Gou said, "The chance of making mistakes with colored glaze is still very high. No one can guarantee whether it will be fired successfully."
Well, that's true.
"The emperor also said before that if the county master wants it, he can give priority."
When He Yunxi heard what the emperor said, he was not polite and ordered Luo Fu to get the measurements he had recorded.
"Manager Wu, can you look at the dimensions of these?"
Two pieces of paper, one paper only has the dimensions of two windows, and the other paper records more than a dozen.
"There are some small ones like this one, and there are many ones like this one, but they are not complete." Wu Gou said after reading it.
"Are you making windows now?"
"Yes."
"Then how long does it take to make this small window?"
"This is already made into a window."
"Then I can use it directly?"
"Can."
"Do you want to install it?"
"Of course it needs to be covered."
"Okay, then you have someone send it to me today." He Yunxi gave him an address, "Send the rest here when you have them done."
"Yes. Then what would the master say if asked?"
"Just say it's my wedding gift to him." He Yunxi said, "How much money does it cost?"
"Back to the county master, the emperor said that if the county master takes it, he does not need to give money."
"No need to give money?" Is there such a good thing?
I heard that this window costs hundreds of taels of silver.
"Yes." Wu Gou looked at He Yunxi's surprise and smiled, "You know this raw material best, the county master. The cost is not high."
He Yunxi understood that this was correct. Although the price of the colored glaze was high, the cost was actually not high. The colored glaze had always been sold at a high price before, but it was just because it was an imported product that came to Daliang from overseas. The journey was long and the quantity was scarce.
Things are more valuable when they are rare.
Now the price of this glass is not lower than that of imported products, because after the recipe given by He Yunxi was studied by the people from the Ministry of Industry, the glass produced is clearer and more transparent.
Since the emperor gave the order, she would not give the money.
happy.
At this time, when Lu Yuanzhen saw the account book in front of him, he couldn't be happy at all.
No, it can't be said that I am not happy, but I am shocked and angry.
