Chapter 531: Money
(Xie: 100 monthly passes that may be believed to be fate, Xie: aiclp520, moshaocong's reward.) )
Everyone was talking, and Wang Yuan frowned and was silent. The amount of money needed to practice the gunpowder formula was something Wang Yuan didn't expect at all. With this method of spending money, soon the whole family will be begging on the streets. I did tell Liu Xunzhi that all the expenses for practicing gunpowder should only be paid on the account, and there was no need to report it in advance.
A few days ago, at the banquet for the officials of Jiannan Province, Liu Xunzhi did say that it cost a lot, and he drank some wine at that time, and he didn't care about it. I remember the answer given to him at the time was: "You must find the formula, it doesn't matter how much it costs." "That's the case. In this matter, Liu Xunzhi is not responsible, but he underestimated the cost of this thing, thinking that the money in his pocket can guarantee the expenses, but now he is in embarrassment.
Wang Yuan understood, no wonder those guys who made alchemy and sought immortality in ancient times were all big families, even the emperor's family, and it was rare to hear that the people also took pills. I'm afraid it's because of the huge cost of alchemy that ordinary people can't afford this kind of consumption at all. Inviting ten monks to build a furnace for alchemy at home like this is like burning money, and no one can afford to spend so much money.
No wonder Li Xin'er and Huang San finally couldn't help but come out and talk about it, because if it goes on like this, it is really like Li Xin'er said. He never thought about taking money to make a business, and Huang San's proposal to open a few shops was also vetoed by himself, because Wang Yuan felt that it was unnecessary. Now it seems that the whole family only has their own income and 500 households' food estates, and the monthly income is at most about 200 yuan, which is completely beyond their means and consumes the family's wealth.
"Erlang, I don't blame you for spending money, you are the head of the family, and you don't care how much money you spend, but you have to have a way to spend money, and you can't spend it like this. If the family is to be maintained, there will be a new family in the family soon. Sister Ziyun'er and Sister Aluo haven't put the wedding wine in the door yet. It will take thousands of dollars to do these things. What can I do if I have less and less money in my family's account room and I don't have much income? Li Xin'er tried her best to soften her tone, but she still couldn't hide her anxious emotions.
"There are still 50,000 yuan in the account, and if you plan carefully, there is no big problem. Five or six hundred guan a month can also deal with it, plus Erlang's money and income, it will not be impossible to eat. But Twelve Niang is right, if the bottomless pit is not blocked, it will not work. It is often tens of thousands of expenditures, does Liu Xun directly regard the house as a treasury for storing money and a cornucopia for making money? Huang San also said.
Everyone looked at Wang Yuan, and they all understood the intention of Li Xin'er and Huang San to convene the meeting today, which was to ask Wang Yuan to express his attitude, and he couldn't let Liu Xunzhi toss like this anymore.
Wang Yuan frowned and was silent, his face was very ugly. That day, he talked to Liu Dehai about recruiting soldiers, and finally came to the conclusion that he was short of money. That's a lot of money. Unexpectedly, now I can't even cope with these small amounts of money. It's like coming up with a prescription for gunpowder, but still losing on the word 'money', which shows how important money is. I really neglected this aspect of things, and without money, I couldn't do anything what I wanted to do.
In an awkward silence, Wang Yuan slowly spoke: "This matter is my reason, I didn't expect that refining the Fire Suppression Fang would consume so much money. Twelve Niang and San Lang pointed out that this matter should be done today, and I only knew that so much money was spent on this matter, which I didn't expect. ”
Li Xin'er said: "Erlang doesn't have to blame himself, order that Liu Xunzhi to stop practicing what is convenient for the fire." The amount of money at home is still enough, so don't take what I said to Erlang to heart, it's not to the point of exhaustion. ”
Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "I just didn't expect to spend so much money, but I'm not blaming myself." And it is impossible for this fire side to stop refining, you may think it is incredible, but the refining of this fire side is extremely important to me. In this matter, I will also invest a lot of money to refine the recipe. No one wants to stop this. ”
Everyone looked at Wang Yuan in astonishment, but they didn't expect Wang Yuan to give this sentence, but he still wanted to invest money in that bottomless pit, isn't it crazy?
Li Xin'er was speechless, and said angrily: "But if it goes on like this, what will happen to the family's expenses?" Where does the money come from? Did it fall from the sky? ”
Wang Yuan frowned and was silent, and the atmosphere became tense for a while. A voice said softly: "Since this fire fang is so important to the husband, the husband will continue to refine." Money matters, I still have a lot of dowry here, all of which can be exchanged for copper coins to supplement the family. I guess it's worth at least sixty or seventy thousand. ”
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was Princess Arlo who spoke. She did bring a lot of dowry, after all, she was the princess of Nanzhao Kingdom, there were a lot of gold and silverware, and there were a lot of valuable things, and there were absolutely sixty or seventy thousand yuan.
Li Xin'er was annoyed in her heart, this princess came out to say these words at this time, didn't she want to treat herself as a villain. This is not a matter of subsidy or not, the key is that this bottomless pit cannot be filled with any amount of money. Li Xin'er was about to scold, but heard another voice ringing out.
"Erlang insisted so much, and it seemed that it was an extremely important thing for the fire side. Princess Aluo understands the righteousness, and it is excellent to support it with a dowry. I also have some private money here, and I also take it out and use it. There is not much money, and there are eighty or ninety thousand. But Erlang must promise me one thing, the 150,000 or 60,000 yuan that has been put together is spent, and if the fire party still can't be practiced, this matter will be put on hold for the time being. You can't borrow money to do this, can you? It took hundreds of thousands, and you did your best. ”
It was Gongsun Lan who spoke, and as soon as she spoke, Li Xin'er couldn't open her mouth to reprimand Ah Luo. At the same time, he also realized that Gongsun Lan had to take out the money to toss Wang Yuan, maybe this fire party was really very important to Wang Yuan.
As soon as these two people expressed their attitude, the rest of the women expressed their willingness to give out their private money.
Lan Xinhui held her big belly and said: "I also have thousands of physical bodies, and I also take it out, harmony is the best, and it is not worth it to be angry for money." ”
Zi Yun'er and Qing Yun'er also had dowries from Mrs. Qin Guo, and they both expressed their willingness to donate these to supplement their families.
Wang Yuan looked at the women and smiled bitterly: "What are you doing here?" Let me be laughed at? What am I going to do for you, to implicate you, to spend your private money? It's a big joke. I don't want anyone's money, and I don't want any more money from my family. This matter will not be mentioned again, and whoever mentions me will be in a hurry. ”
"However, how do you raise money to continue refining the Fire Suppression Fang? I know it's important to you. Gongsun Lan asked.
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I don't have the money to think of a way, I don't believe it, and now I can't even do such a trivial thing." ”
"You don't want to fight the idea of the money of the South Sword Province, you don't know the lessons of Li Yong's past. It's a big problem to be caught like that. Nowadays, many people want to find fault with you. Gongsun Lan reminded.
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Am I as stupid as Li Yong?" I believe that there is always a solution, and everyone should not worry about this matter, in short, I will solve this matter myself. It's scattered, and I'm sweating all over my body, why is it so hot in this hall, I can't stand it. I'm going to take a shower and go to the study to think about it. Also, the pot of flowers on the table is really ugly, and it teaches people to move it to the courtyard. ”
Wang Yuan said, lifted his butt and left, Li Xin'er Nunu mouthed, and the eldest sister hurriedly followed to prepare bath water and let Wang Yuan bathe.
Huang San put away the account book and muttered, "Where is it hot?" It's very cool here. Isn't this pot of flowers good? It's red and gorgeous, and he said it looks good yesterday. ”
Zi Yun'er smiled and said, "He is hot in his heart, and he doesn't like anything." ”
