Seeing off Feng Sihai, who was so grateful, Yuhuan returned to the back room separated by a curtain. In the back room, Uncle Lai was also telling Yun Xi: "Third grandmother, those people have sent someone to contact again, and this time they want 10,000 iron pots." I want it urgently, and the price is still one or two per mouthful. They also privately tried the small ones, saying that it was really too late to build an iron pot and it didn't matter, and the iron material of the same material was also made, and the price was fifty percent of the iron pot, the more the merrier. ”

"Oh?" Yun Xi raised her eyebrows, "So bold, these people want to build weapons?" Still that much volume? Have you checked the way? ”

"The little one paid two hundred taels to buy one of their subordinates. Don't dare to hide it from the third grandmother, they should have secretly noticed, but they didn't react, maybe they wanted to reveal the news to us through that subordinate. They went by sea, and they ran the trade of the Japanese countries. I heard that the civil war broke out in the Japanese country, and the amount of iron used was quite large. An iron pot can be sold for five taels in the Wa Kingdom, and it is crazy to rob it, so it is not worried about selling it at all. ”

"Huh?" Yun Xi heard that it was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Even tell you this?" "Such a trade secret must be strictly guarded, aren't you afraid that the He family will send a ship to the sea by themselves?

Uncle Lai smiled bitterly: "They are not afraid at all, the raw silk and porcelain in Jiangnan are more profitable, and no one wants to take the clumsy and heavy iron goods at all." And Foshan can't supply it anymore, so I want to find a new way in Laizhou. But after a little pondering, they mainly want to climb up to the second master. More than ten catties of an iron pot and a tael of silver? Where can I get the goods? However, they have a request, it is best to find them a private port on the coast of Shandong. They are willing to send our He family four thousand-stone boats, and all the sailors and guards will come to them, and we will sit and wait for the annual dividends. ”

Yun Xi smiled slightly, looked at Uncle Lai, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Lai, what do you think?" ”

Uncle Lai's eyes lit up: "Third grandmother, the younger one wants to promise them." It's not a northern barbarian outside the Saiwai, and the Japanese cannibalism cannibalism there, and it can't hurt our Ming people, let alone any enemies. And if we don't do it, several others will sell it. The last batch of 5,000 iron pots almost missed the deadline, but fortunately, more than 2,000 were taken from the Wang family and the Zhou family. Why don't we make this money ourselves? Not enough craftsmen in the blacksmith shop? Just give them iron. It doesn't matter if they have a private port, we have to send people to escort them for a long time, so that we can supply them in Shandong, and we can wait to collect money. However, the little knowledge is shallow, and you still have to take the third grandmother's idea. ”

Yun Xi smiled and shook his head: "Uncle Lai, you want to fork in this." Selling iron pots can still have a cover, but selling iron materials is absolutely not good. Not long after the imperial court put down the Japanese invaders, it was even more difficult to do business with the Japanese state on the surface. Not to mention the private port of running boats. To give you a piece of news, don't make a noise, the late Zhang Xiangye fell out of favor, and his henchmen fell one after another, vacating a lot of positions. Dad is active in the DPRK and China, and the Ministry of Industry has great hopes. At this time, there must be no mistakes at home, and the group of big masters in Yushitai are all staring at it. ”

Hearing that his second master had the hope of being promoted, Uncle Lai's face was happy, but then he was a little worried: "Third grandma, what if the news is obtained by several other families?" ”

Yun Xi sneered: "Our He family can't do it, it's not easy to spoil the other families?" If those people who go to the sea dare to take the goods of several other companies, I will let my father make a discount. The Denglai sailors are by no means ornaments, and they will be killed when the time comes. ”

"Huh." Uncle Lai nodded in agreement.

Yun Xi then instructed: "Uncle Lai, when you talk to them again, don't talk to death." When Dad is in a secure position, there are some things that can be discussed. However, the amount of this batch is relatively large, when will the new iron furnace be ignited? ”

"The nineteenth is an auspicious day for the zodiac. Ready to put that day. ”

"Good. The supply of ore and the recruitment of blacksmiths should be hurried, and the iron cannot be shipped without it. I know it's hard to recruit with skilled hands, so don't be afraid to spend money, and you can recruit more young and strong apprentices. We also need to prepare for the future. Oh, has the seventh brother had a lot of fun these days? ”

"Very good. Yesterday, I also arranged a drama class for him. ”

"That's good. We stayed until the 19th. When the fire is lit, let the seventh brother be the main priest. ”

Uncle Lai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Third grandmother, aren't you going?" ”

Yun Xi covered her mouth and smiled: "I'm a woman, where can I show my face?" The seventh brother will be in charge of the family sooner or later, although he will try the palace test in the future, but the family affairs should also be known to him. ”

Uncle Lai nodded with a smile, and suddenly remembered one more thing: "Third grandma, the second master asked someone to find you, saying that he liked a lone book, and it was a little inconvenient to have it at hand." ”

"Oh? How much? ”

"Two hundred taels."

"Hmm. Give him money from my own body. Tell him to let him be more motivated, and I will give as much as I can to buy books and study in the future. ”

"Yes, Third Grandma."

“……”

As soon as Uncle Lai left, Yuhuan immediately complained: "Miss, you don't know, the second master is raising women outside with this money!" ”

Yun Xi glanced at him and grinned, "Think I don't know? It's hard to be in charge! ”

Yuting on the side leaned on Yun Xi and said happily: "Sister is so stupid, but Miss is still amazing." ”

Yun Xi scolded with a smile: "Huan'er can represent me to fill the scene, but you don't even dare to see the living?" And talk about your sister. Outrageous! ”

Yu Ting immediately defended with an aggrieved face: "You are all amazing!" Anyway, Ting'er has a young lady and sister who love me. ”

"Let's find a husband to hurt you in the future!"

"No, miss, my sister is bullying Ting'er again!"

Full of laughter......

……

In the teahouse in Jingjiazhuang, seeing Tie Sheng striding in, the storyteller who had just opened stopped his performance and waited for Tie Sheng to sit down.

Tie Sheng's master, Zhang Jiuyun, turned his head, he was dressed as a scholar, looked up and down with concern, and asked, "What happened just now was solved?" Didn't get hurt, did you? ”

Tie Sheng smiled and sat down next to Zhang Jiuyun, and Mr. Storyteller continued to perform. Tie Sheng chuckled and said, "Master, it's all a little mess, and it doesn't take much effort. ”

Zhang Jiuyun shook his head helplessly: "I know what I do all day long." Are all the kids in the martial arts hall dead? Now running the rivers and lakes pays attention to the individual, and the multi-force people. ”

"But that's majestic enough?" Tie Sheng smiled and picked up a few melon seeds and threw them in his mouth.

"Majestic? So what are you going to do if a hundred people come and cut you? ”

"Don't say a hundred, I'll run away if I come fifty." While laughing, Tie Sheng told him what had just happened.

After hearing this, Zhang Jiuyun was very sorry: "You, you are still so frizzy. It is right to let Fu Jiu make amends for his sins, but why don't you ask for a fine of five hundred taels? There are so many boys in the martial arts hall who want to support their families and start a family, and they are worried that they can't find a way to get money. It's better for you to send it to your door. Don't know Master, my difficulties? Hey——! It's hard to be at home! ”
