Chapter 490: Expanding Business
Fifty thousand taels of silver! Fu had never seen so much silver in his life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When she was not out of the cabinet, her father was upright, refused to accept bribes, and offended many people. Compared with the Beijing officials of the same grade, the family is not well-off. Fortunately, my mother has dry shares here in my second aunt, so that I can support the faΓ§ade and not make the scene ugly.
When she went to the ladies' gatherings, she wore jewelry that was inferior to the others. At that time, Fu secretly vowed that he would live better than them all in the future.
became a high-ranking crown princess, and gold, silver and jewelry were at your fingertips. But most of these come from the rewards of the father and the queen mother, and when the prince is in a good mood, he will also take her to the treasury for her to choose.
The only silver at the disposal of the Fu family is the dowry, where have you seen so much silver?
The huge profits dazzled her eyes and lost her heart. Forcibly suppressing the uneasy emotions in his heart, Fu Shi once again advised: "Be sure to do it seamlessly." β
Mrs. Liu agreed, and Fu asked a few more words before letting her and Shopkeeper Yu leave.
After the two left, Fu Shi looked at the busy people outside, and was stunned before going out to continue packing for the prince. It took two hours to clean up.
In such a sultry weather, after being busy for a long time, Fu Shi was a little unbearable. When I got back to my room, I lay down on the couch to rest, not wanting to move my fingers.
Shui Lan came in with tea, waited for her to drink, and stood behind again, pinching her shoulders for her.
"Crown princess, when the maid just went to the front yard to get the book, I saw Wang Miaoyan also packing her luggage. Seeing her so tired, Shui Lan hesitated for a while, but still said what she had just seen.
"What?" Fu Shi sat up suddenly, was stunned for a moment and then fell down, waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, let her go!"
In her mind, Wang Miaoyan's bloodied body that day flashed, and she shivered deeply.
From the first day he saw the prince, Fu knew that he couldn't control him, let alone dare to control him. Even though the crown prince was handsome and unparalleled, in front of him, Fu could only be cautious and did not dare to look at him more.
Now that there is such a person, it is very good for the prince to vent his anger. If the prince wants her to accompany her for disaster relief, she will go and pretend that she can't see it. Fortunately, she has a son by her side, her status is stable, and she has never had delusions about her husband and wife.
This sense of powerlessness made Fu Shi even more concerned about the 50,000 taels of silver that was about to arrive.

Nanshi, Splendid Record.
Shopkeeper Yu knocked lightly a few times, and Xu Wenmin's voice came from inside: "Come in." β
The Xu family's business in Beijing gradually spread, and the original room in Jinxiuji was not enough. It was an open room, which had only been picked up a short time ago, and was divided into two rooms, the inner and the outside. When Xu Wenmin is not going out, he is in this room to watch the accounts and dispose of affairs.
There were two shelves full of books on the law, books, and so on. In the middle of the room is a large Huanghuali bookcase, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and two stacks of the latest account books stacked on it.
There is an arhat bed in the room, and there are bedding for a lunch break.
Shopkeeper Yu bypassed a four-leaf Nanmu primrose-colored screen, and Xu Wenmin behind the bookcase saw him, stopped writing, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Back to the eldest young master, there is news in the palace. "Respectfully present the official document in hand.
Xu Wenmin took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it to be so fast." β
It is an official document issued in the name of the province in the palace, with a splendid record of supplying 200 silk fans every ten years, 200 silk flowers into the palace, and settling the bill in the second half of the year.
A page of details is attached to the back, which clearly states the specifications and sizes of silk fans and silk flowers.
Since it is for the royal family, these small items must also be brought according to the rules. What size should the queen use, what color of thread should be used, and other palace concubines have different regulations for different ranks. Most of them are reserved for the palace maids, and they can't be exceeded.
There are so many people in the palace, there are only 200 shares, so naturally it is impossible for everyone to have a share. It must be provided to Empress Dowager Xiao and Empress Cao to choose first, and they will either keep them for themselves or reward others, and the rest of the Shangyi Bureau will be used to give the favored concubines.
"It's going to be available in the middle of the month, and it's asking you to copy a copy. These days have been hard, and I went to the workshop in the eastern suburbs to keep an eye on it. This is the first time to buy in the palace, and things must be done beautifully. β
Shopkeeper Yu was excited, he didn't expect that after the eldest young master was released from prison, he would expand his business so quickly, and he would actually catch the line in the palace.
The small items used by these women, although they could not obtain the qualification of the imperial merchants, were of great help to the business of Splendid Records.
It is a luxury object that ordinary people can't afford, and Princess Zhaoyang has hairpinned silk flowers twice before, which caused the noble lady to rob it madly. If you really enter the palace, even the hairpins on the heads of the queen and concubines are all from the splendid record, why worry about no market?
"Big young master, after the business in the palace is stable, the villain feels that he can expand the workshop. Sell this silk flower and silk fan to a rich land. In Jiangnan Province, although the industry is gone, the connections left by Mrs. Xu are still there. β
Xu Wenmin nodded, he just had this intention: "Shopkeeper Yu thought of it with me." Don't be in a hurry, do the things in front of you first. β
After thinking about it, he said: "Did you just put dozens of makeup satins into the warehouse yesterday? Pick one of each color and send it to Lord He's mansion." β
He Jin is greedy for money and lust, can speak well in the palace, and is the businessman's favorite figure. As long as you make a profit and raise him respectfully, everything will be easy to do.

In Jiashan Fang, Xu House.
Xu Wanzhen went to the big kitchen to take a look, saw the steamed three drawers of hot white steamed buns, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Feng Xing's family, you bring a few daughters-in-law, and Xu Le'an in the outer courtyard has arranged a nursing home. Be careful on the road and don't burn people. β
Feng Xing's crisp response, "Miss, don't worry, the kitchen is too hot, don't smoke you." β
These days, more and more displaced people from the north are coming, and the various resettlement sites in Luoyang City are becoming more and more crowded. Some of the victims managed to make their own efforts to build shelters from the wind and rain in abandoned courtyards, land temples, and even wider alleys, and their families struggled to survive.
In order to help these victims, the powerful people in Beijing have opened porridge shops and porridge factories.
Dingding Gate is connected with Tianjin Bridge, Imperial City and Gongcheng axis, which is the central axis of Luoyang City. Entering the city by Dingding Gate, it is the most important Dingdingmen Street in Luoyang City, the widest point reaches as much as 35 zhang, converted into a modern unit, there are more than 110 meters.
The porridge factories opened by the four major princes are located here.
On both sides of the street not far from the city, families set up sheds five feet square, and set up large pots to boil steaming porridge. There is also a stove and steaming drawer in the shed, and when the meal is almost time, the smoke begins to come out to steam white flour steamed buns.
