Chapter 1162: Gu Yun's Importance
Bai Ko has left her behind since she exchanged a few words with Jiang Yueyi at the gate of the construction site, a woman who wants to be a concubine for Gu Yun is not worth her trouble every day, it is something that Gu Yun thinks about and decides, so she didn't tell Gu Yun that the young lady of the Jiang family that day wanted to marry him as a concubine, and waited for Jiang Yueyi to find a way to get close to Gu Yun.

All in all, she didn't take the initiative to mix the tender peach blossoms that suddenly appeared, and she didn't want to pull her into the water to mix, it had nothing to do with her from beginning to end, this peach blossom was going to Gu Yun, he was the party involved, he had to solve it himself, she just waited for Gu Yun to make a decision before making the final decision.
Gu Yun has never dealt with similar things by himself, he used to be his steward, she came forward when there was something, she did bad things, and she was the bad person, he just gave the order and then sat back and enjoyed it, and now he had to learn to solve it himself.
In addition, there are so many salt merchants in the capital, which still makes Bai Ko have other interests, and wants to know if there are any special products in the hometowns of those salt merchants that are not well known to outsiders, such as ham, cured chicken, duck, marinated meat sausages and so on.
In addition, the background of so many salt merchants, Bai Ko, also investigated, especially focusing on the Xinzhou salt merchants and their relationship network in the capital.
Since the factory was built, Bai Ko has had countless dealings with officials at all levels of the household department in recent years, and even mixed up with those who often come and go, and the roster of salt merchants and the strength of each person This kind of information could have been obtained directly with these officials for a little money, but Bai Ko knew that he would be stabbed into the ears of the saint by the ear report god if he made a small move, so just in case, she still asked Hua Qingyu to buy information.
After figuring out the relationship between the salt merchants in Xinzhou, Bai Ko found the family that Jiang Yueyi was originally engaged to, naturally he was also a salt merchant, and his family background was stronger than the Jiang family, but it had nothing to do with the affairs of the ghost in the Jiang family, it was purely that the ghost himself was greedy for money and sold the confidential information of the master's family in order to pay off gambling debts.
Bai Ko felt that there was a gambler around the Jiang family who could casually access business-related information, and they had brought on themselves to have such a catastrophe, and it was reasonable for the man's family to be afraid of losing losses in time.
After having a calculation in his heart, Bai Ko put this matter aside again, waiting for Jiang Yueyi to make a small move.
In the past few days, the Ministry of War has made a final decision after discussions with all parties, and agreed to Bai Ko's request, recognizing her as the patentee of magnesium rods, and giving her a patent fee of 10% of 5% from the profits of the magnesium rod business of the Ministry of War every year, but if there are similar new things in the future, the Ministry of War will be given priority to know.
Of course, Bai Ko agreed to this request, and happily drafted the contract, and Master Qiu Wei, the secretary of the household department, reviewed the content of the document to ensure that it was fair to both parties, Gu Yun went to the military department to sign, and the contract was stamped with the big seal of the ordnance department of the military department.
The Ministry of War is quite polite to Gu Yun, after all, the second master Gu is still serving in the army, Wei Qian, the grandson of the centurion of the prince, and Gu Yun are good buddies, Gu Yun is a civil official and military general, and he is naturally not afraid of the people in the military department at all, he knows that they can't play, they just take advantage of their mouths, not to mention that the patent fees that Bai Ko wants are also taxable, Lord Qiu Wei smiled and coordinated in the middle, and all parties took a step back and negotiated.
How to price the magnesium rod made by the Ordnance Department is still difficult for the big bosses of the Ministry of War, of course, there are people who can play political tricks, but now they are doing business seriously, and the money they earn should be used to supplement the public expenses of the Ministry of War, which can give better welfare to the border troops on the border, not like in the past, there was a calculation over there to kill big households and slaughter fat pigs, they don't even have the idea of opening a direct shop by themselves.
Bai Ko looked like a profiteer and expressed his willingness to provide free assistance.
And the condition for her assistance is that she must be allowed to see the craftsmanship of the ordnance craftsmen, and take advantage of the current winter to rush to make it, so that it can be sent to other places as grain and grass after the beginning of spring next year.
There are too many people to support her, Bai Ko is a woman and an outsider, if she comes strictly according to the rules, she is not even qualified to get close to the armory, but all the rules can't stop the important thing to make money, and in the end, Bai Ko still got her wish and walked around the armory, and she was the only one who went, and the people in front and behind were all people from the military department, Gu Yun and they were all red with envy when they learned about this.
Bai Ko didn't go in vain this trip, saw the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, chatted with them a lot, wrote and calculated on paper while chatting, and the quality of military raw materials is better than that of civilian ones, and the abdominal manuscript in her heart is slowly taking shape, and the people who accompanied her to visit also saw that she was really rough on some things, although she couldn't speak in jargon, but the questions asked would not be misunderstood.
After the visit with satisfaction, Bai Ko went home to write a plan, a bunch of letters on the study table, flipped through the envelopes one by one, and suddenly saw Gu Yun's letter, in which Bai Ko asked if he remembered Jiang Yueyi who had seen in Lao Lu Yinlou a few days ago, the daughter of a salt merchant in Xinzhou, who had given a lot of expensive gifts in the past few days, and finally went through Wei Zhengdao's way, and his steward Ma Hao, who was stationed in the capital, came to the restaurant with Wei Zhengdao to drink in joy tonight.
Bai Qiao threw the letter on the table, raised her eyebrows, and thought that this Jiang Yueyi really had some ability, and she found Wei Zhengdao, and I don't know if she learned it from the two daughters of the Yu Wang family, but Jiang Yueyi came to such a hand, but it detonated the matter, and made the salt merchants react Gu Yun is also an important person to deal with.
It is necessary to give some gifts to connect feelings.
In addition to the salt mines, most of the salt lakes are on the border with harsh environment and difficult conditions, managed by the border army, and the imperial court exchanged salt tickets for merchants to carry materials to the military to receive salt, in the eyes of salt merchants, in terms of assets, there are no big businessmen in the capital who can enter their eyes, but Gu Yun has just signed a serious list with the Ministry of War, and today she went to the armory workshop to visit again.
When these two incidents spread in the next two days after tomorrow, in order to improve the relationship with the military, it would be strange that the salt merchants did not come to pat Gu Yun's sycophants.
At that time, Jiang Yueyi would not be able to make a big splash after taking the road of Wei Zhengdao, and the salt merchant directly piled up the gifts at the door of the Yeguo Mansion, and smashed them to death.
imagined the expression of the porter of the Yeguo Mansion who was shocked by the salt merchants' generosity, endured the pain of laughter, and replied to Gu Yun with a pen, praising Jiang Yueyi in the letter, praising her for her vision, and better at grasping the key points than a group of masters, there is nothing better than taking the path of Gu Yun, the darling of the imperial court.
It was too late for Bai Ko to return home after the visit, so this reply letter was sent to the Yeguo Mansion early the next morning, but Gu Yun was already on duty at that time, and the dishes that Bai Ko's cook gave him at noon were honey fire cubes and ham meatloaf, and the ham used was a local specialty brought back by the Ning family's caravan, and they were so happy that their buddies and brothers screamed happily.
After being on duty in the evening, the guards and coachmen came to pick him up and go home, and when they told him about the family that day, Gu Yun looked confused.
On this day, the salt merchants seemed to have discussed it, and sent gifts to the Yeguo Mansion one by one, as well as beauties, a blue caravan came and hulala, and three or four beautiful beauties came down, standing on the street I don't know how eye-catching, when the coachmen and guards set off from home, there were almost twenty beauties sent.
"Master, these salt merchants are really wealthy, such a delivery method, you use one a day, and some people can't take their turn once a month. However, master, our grandmother hasn't married yet, it's better for you to be more restrained, take care of your body, don't make people angry. ”
Gu Yun shivered excitedly, this kind of thing was unprecedented, he couldn't predict how Bai Ko would react.
Unpredictable dangers, just thinking about it makes me feel terrible!
