Chapter 157: Visiting Yuan Fang
Bo politely sent Liu Yiyi out of the door, no matter what the purpose of Liu Yiyi's customization is, no matter how raw materials it consumes, as long as he can afford to pay for it, then Liu Yiyi is his big customer.
The final cost of an iron shovel is one hundred and twenty yuan, and thirty is three and six hundred silver dollars, if it is changed to before, Liu Yiyi may still think about it, after all, it is not a small number, in the case of food and clothing can not be guaranteed, a fool will spend money to do this?
But now, especially after returning from Chang'an, he has some small money in his waist, and his heart is a little more relaxed. Well, Xiao has a sense of wealth.
Moreover, science and technology are the primary productive forces.
This shovel, put in the Tang Dynasty, should be regarded as a relatively advanced technology, right?
Leaving Uncle He's house, Liu Yiyi rode Liu Wuxian directly to Xia'er Village.
Go and visit Yuan Fang, this is his main task this afternoon.
Some time ago in Chang'an, I just heard that Li Shimin and that Su Dasi Nongqing said that they were going to merge this 'Liu's Plough Workshop', but as for how to merge it, Liu Yiyi didn't know.
Also, what was the situation of Yuan Fang and Yuan Pei's father and son afterwards, and what kind of thoughts they had about the annexation of the court, Liu Yiyi didn't know.
So Liu Yiyi wanted to find out, after all, there was a handwritten contract between him and Yuan Fang.
Liu Yiyi led Liu Wuxian to stand in front of the door of Yuan's mansion, and it was Yuan Pei who came out to open the door.
Yuan Pei was very surprised when he saw Liu Yiyi. Hurriedly walked to the door to open the door for Liu Yiyi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu, are you back?" This is really a happy event, come quickly, Mr. Liu, please come in! ”
"Uncle Yuan is invited," Liu Yiyi returned the salute and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a month, but Uncle Yuan is getting more and more energetic." ”
"Huh. Mr. Liu laughed. Yuan Pei enthusiastically stepped forward to take the reins from Liu Yiyi's hand, and casually tied Liu Wuxian to the small stake on the side of the door in the courtyard. Then he stretched out his hand and invited Liu Yiyi to the main hall of their house.
"Mr. Liu, please sit down for a while, my father is now resting in the back room, and I will wake up the other people's house later. If you want to come back to Mr. Liu, he will be very happy. Yuan Pei poured a cup of tea for Liu Yiyi, then bent over and confessed and went to the inner room.
He knew that Liu Yiyi must have come here to find their old man.
When Yuan Pei entered, Liu Yiyi sat on the side seat of the living room. He took two sips of the tea bowl and began to look at the layout of the hall.
Compared with a month ago, the decoration in the Yuan family's living room seems to have undergone some changes, and the most obvious thing is that all their furniture has been replaced with new ones. Tables, chairs, benches. And this tea bowl.
Oh. There is also the set of clothes that Yuan Pei was wearing just now, thinking of this, Liu Yiyi suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that Yuan Pei was much more energetic than before, it turned out that what he was wearing was actually a silk shirt.
Yuan Fang and they are rich, this is Liu Yiyi's first thought.
This wealth must be related to the 'Liu's Plough Workshop' and 'Liu's Plough', which is Liu Yiyi's second thought.
Could it be that Yuan Fang is the same as him. All relied on this qu yuan to plow a little fortune?
"Mr. Liu! Little old man is polite here. There is a long way to go. Please forgive Mr. Yoo for his sins! Yuan Fang was also dressed in a set of newly made silk clothes and went to the living room. Give Liu a salute.
Liu Yiyi hurriedly stood up, returned the salute, and said to Yuan Fang with a smile: "Uncle Yuan is invited, disturbing Uncle Yuan's rest, it's a faux pas, I hope Uncle Yuan is not weird." ”
"Hehe, Mr. Liu's words are serious," Yuan Fang bent down and sat down, chuckled and waved his hand to Liu Yiyi and said: "Mr. Liu, please take a seat, in fact, it is not a kind of honor to be disturbed by Mr. Liu." ”
Seeing that Liu Yiyi was a little puzzled, Yuan Yiyi said softly to Liu Yiyi: "Don't hide from Mr. Liu, the little old man has just returned from Chang'an City, and he is deeply impressed by some of Mr. Liu's actions in Chang'an City." ”
"Oh?" Liu raised his eyebrows upward, looked at Yuan Fang suspiciously, and asked, "Why did Uncle Yuan also go to Chang'an?" But for the sake of the Liu plough? ”
"Mr. Liu's Mingjian is indeed for the Liu family's plough." Yuan Fang nodded and said: "Since receiving the news that the 'Liu's Plough Workshop' was taken over by the court, Xiao Lao'er was invited to Chang'an City by the Great Si Nongqing Su Lao. There, let Xiao Lao'er be responsible for teaching a group of carpenters how to make this 'Liu's plough', and trust Mr. Liu's blessing, and Xiao Lao'er also got a lot of money. ”
Yuan Fang glanced at Liu Yiyi gratefully, this trip to Chang'an, he not only got a lot of property, but also earned a lot of fame, and now even Li Zhide, the county leader of Sanyuan County, will politely call him Master Yuan when he sees him. It was something he had never thought of before.
These were all given to him by Liu Yiyi.
Yuan Fang has always been a person who knows how to drink water and think about the source. He knew that if Liu Yiyi hadn't come to him to make Liu's plough, and if Liu Yiyi hadn't funded him to open Liu's plough workshop, he wouldn't have the infinite scenery that Yuan Fang has now.
Therefore, Yuan Fang was very grateful to Liu Yiyi.
"I see," Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, probably knowing the idea of the court to promote the Liu family's plough. First, Yuan Fang trained carpenters, and then each carpenter was assigned to each county to open a plow workshop. With the support of government leaders, the people below will naturally be very troubled when they do things. It is no wonder that this 'Liu's Plough Workshop' can spread all over the country in half a month.
It was much faster than him having a plow on his own, but he had no share of the money he had earned.
Liu Yiyi took a sip of tea and asked Yuan Fang casually: "So, our 'Liu's Plough Workshop' in Sanyuan County is in charge of Uncle Yuan?" ”
"Mr. Liu, this is indeed the case, and now the little old man can be regarded as a person who has eaten public office." Yuan Fangluo nodded meaningfully, and thanked Liu Yiyi again: "These are all thanks to Mr. Liu's luck, thank you Mr. Liu." Well, Liu first waits. ”
As he spoke, Yuan Fang raised his hand to signal to Yuan Pei, and Yuan Pei took out a cloth bag that was full of stuff from the back room and placed it lightly on the table. The cloth bag touched the table, and the sound was loud, and Liu Yi could naturally hear that the cloth bag contained 'Kaiyuan Tongbao'.
Yuan Fang got up and opened the cloth bag, pointed to the coins inside and said to Liu Yiyi: "Mr. Liu, please take a look, this is half a month ago, our 'Liu's Plough Workshop', all the silver coins sold for the production of ploughs, a total of one hundred and eighty yuan. Xiao Lao'er has not used it, just waiting for Mr. Liu to come back and deal with it, and make a decision. ”
In less than a month, the net profit stream has been 180 yuan, which is a very profitable industry. It is no wonder that the court will be so half-strong and half-hard to take it into its hands.
Although Yuan Fang was a little disappointed in his heart, he did not have the slightest resentment and dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he was quite satisfied with this result, because he not only had money because of this, but also had a certain status.
It's just that the real owner of Liu Yiyi is suffering. not only assumed the name of a businessman, but also lost countless amounts of money in vain.
"According to the contract, it's good to separate four or six." Liu Yiyi was not as pessimistic as Yuan Fang imagined, he put the tea bowl on the table, and said to Yuan Fang indifferently: "In addition, Uncle Yuan, now that the 'Liu's Plough Workshop' has been acquired by the court, the kid no longer has any connection with it, should the contract we signed before be invalidated?" ”
"Of course, of course, it should be." Yuan Fang nodded hurriedly in agreement, took out the contract from his arms, handed it to Liu Yiyi and said, "Little Lao'er has already been prepared, Mr. Liu, please take a look." ”
The ancients have always attached great importance to this thing. Those are all handprints and signatures by themselves, and they are also considered a handle. Therefore, after the document expires or is cashed, it must be destroyed in front of the owner.
Therefore, Yuan Fang's performance at this time was even more eager than Liu Yiyi.
Liu Yiyi took the contract and glanced at it, it was indeed the one they signed that day. After that, he also reached into his arms, took out the share left with him, and handed it to Yuan Fang.
After both parties confirmed that everything was correct, there was a fire, and both contracts were reduced to ashes.
"Mr. Liu, please take a seat!" Yuan Fang once again stretched out his hand to invite Liu Yiyi to sit down, and said to Liu Yiyi with a smile: "Although the cooperation with Mr. this time is not long, Xiao Lao'er has gained many unexpected benefits from this. Therefore, it is not good for the little old man to ask for these 180 yuan of silver, so it is better for Mr. to bring them back together. ”
This old man has a good character.
Liu Yiyi glanced at Yuan Fang, he has a conscience, he is not greedy for money, well, or he is not greedy for small money, not bad.
"No need, thank you Uncle Yuan for your kindness." Liu Yiyi chuckled and said: "Although Liu has no big money, he has never lacked money to spend, and Liu has no preference for taking advantage of others, so let's follow the contract and divide the money from four or six." ”
"Well, in that case, the little old man is greedy for money." Yuan Fang also became a fine character, so he naturally heard that Liu Yiyi was a little unhappy in his heart, so he no longer was polite to Liu Yiyi. Then he opened his mouth and instructed Yuan Pei to divide the coins in the bag.
"Actually," Liu Yiyi didn't even glance at the coins on the table, and said softly to Yuan Fang: "This time the kid is here, in addition to visiting Uncle Yuan, there is another matter, I want to ask Uncle Yuan for help." ”
