Chapter 20: Clever and Confused

Ye Zhao opened his eyes in a daze, and was stunned to find that there were two more people in the room, on the left was Ruisi, and on the right was a beautiful woman with gorgeous and bright skirts.

Ye Zhao was a little angry, a few days earlier, Rui Si chattered, saying that there was a beautiful woman in Xiguan Penglai Courtyard for two years, how tempting, I wanted to summon the master to taste the taste, at that time Ye Zhao scolded him, remember the courtyard incense house, Ye Zhao will never come to the door again, not morality, but the shadow, when he was in the capital, his life was almost sent, fortunately, the matchmaker was fooled by herself, otherwise she was afraid that her little Tartar would have been cut off her head. Last time it was luck, but if you meet any assassins who take the opportunity to assassinate Lord Totong this time, it won't be so good.

With a calm face, Ye Zhao frowned and said, "You are getting bolder and bolder!" ”

Rui Si smiled and said a few words, but Ye Zhao didn't hear it clearly, and became even more angry: "Why don't you send people to Penglai Courtyard?" ”

He plugged his earplugs, but he really didn't hear Ruisi's words clearly, and he didn't realize it, but the voice was very loud.

After hearing Ruisi's introduction of his identity, the evil young man opened his mouth and was about to send himself to the Ji Yuan, and Grandma Jin'er was black in front of her eyes, and she almost fainted on the ground.

Rui Si smiled and cautiously pointed to his ears, Ye Zhao suddenly woke up, reached out and pulled out the two earbuds, Rui Si stuck to Ye Zhao's ear and whispered: "Master, this is Tao Lao's second wife, Grandma Jiner, who came to beg for mercy." After speaking, he lowered his hand and retreated, "The minion is waiting outside." ”

Grandma Jin Er's heart was in turmoil, and she didn't see Ye Zhao's movements, the evil young man was so reckless, she was really reckless, and she wanted to escape for a while, but she didn't want to squeak, Rui Si gently closed the door outside.

"Ah......" Ye Zhao stretched his waist and stood up, and opened his wow, Grandma Jiner was so frightened that she took a few steps back, leaned on the table, and said in a trembling voice: "You, what do you want to do?" "It's the first time I've grown so big, it's the first time I've been so hesitant, and it's the first time I've been so afraid of someone.

Ye Zhao frowned, and said in his heart, who does this tigress think of me? For the notorious Jin'er grandmother, Ye Zhao really doesn't have a good feeling, and it is too unreasonable to bully her husband in this era.

"I want me to ask you, what do you want to do?" Ye Zhao said lightly, walked to the rosewood basin shelf, picked up a white towel and wiped his face, sighed, shook his head and muttered: "This ghost weather is hot, you need to take a cold shower to be comfortable." ”

Grandma Jin Er heard this, and her five hearts were burning, how did she know Ye Zhao's habit of speaking? Thinking that the evil young man had moved his silver heart, he turned around and saw the small scissors cutting paper on the table, grabbed it violently, aimed it at his snow-white and attractive neck, and said loudly: "The evil young man!" If you take one step further, Jin Feng will die for you! ”

Ye Zhao was still thinking about how to use the existing technology to make a shower, and the strange change in the room made him stunned.

"Put it down!" Ye Zhao's brows furrowed, he didn't have the patience to coax this confused beautiful young woman, he looked at Grandma Jin'er with a calm face and said, "Do you think death is the most terrible?" If you die here, your Tao family and Shi family will be worse than death, I heard that you are the most filial to your mother, if you die now, I will make her a hundred times miserable! ”

The delicate Ye Zhao is tantamount to a demon in the eyes of Jiner's grandmother at the moment, her pretty face is pale, and her hand holding the scissors is trembling terribly.

"Don't put it down yet!" Ye Zhao let out a low snort, Jiner's grandmother's body trembled, and with a "snap", the scissors fell to the ground.

"Pick it up and set it up." Ye Zhao only thinks that this woman is as smart as the legend? It's just stupid, and you're welcome. The shrewd and capable grandmother of Jiner, who is well-known in Guangzhou, is only Ye Zhao who can see her as a fool.

Grandma Jin's second grandmother bit her red lip with her silver teeth, tears were almost falling, after so many years, how could she have been treated so rudely?

"Forget it, tell me what you mean!" When Ye Zhao saw the appearance of a beauty, his heart was flushed, how could he feel as if he was bullying a woman?

Grandma Jin Er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Ye Zhao didn't let herself pick up scissors, at that moment, it seemed that she had taken some big advantage, and then she was extremely depressed, when did she become so unproductive?

"Talk?" For the Tao family's property, Ye Zhao had already had a plan, and he had been waiting to talk to Grandma Jiner for a long time. I thought that the rumored grandmother Jin Er was smart and open-minded, and maybe she could help the new plan, but who knew that she was simply a crazy woman, Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel a little deflated, and her mood was not very bright.

"I ...... I ......" Grandma Jiner, who was usually full of wisdom and scheming, was spicy and capable, but she suddenly got stuck, as if she was born to be restrained by Ye Zhao, and she didn't know how, she couldn't say a complete sentence.

Ye Zhao was even more helpless, so he said, "Do you want to pay back the silver slowly?" Do you want to give less or not at all? ”

Grandma Jin Er was even more terrified in her heart, how did this evil young man know?

"Isn't it?" Ye Zhao looked at her helplessly.

"Yes...... It's ......" Grandma Jin Er didn't dare to look at Ye Zhao, and looked down at the embroidered shoes exposed by the skirt.

Ye Zhao waved his hand: "This can't be done, I have checked, although your Tao family's industry is large, the expenditure is not small." De Shunxing on Hong Kong Island, I heard that it is the masterpiece of your second grandmother, the momentum is the best, but there is a little, still eating silver, no silver is thrown in, morning and evening yellow stalls. But if you want to throw the silver over as usual, and then go to your Tao family's expenses, then if I want to recover the 100,000 taels of silver, can it be 180 years? Even if the momentum of Deshunxing rises in a few years, but the bigger the business, the more silver is needed, what about me, how can you have twenty or thirty years to pay off, this is not counting interest, is it such an account? ”

Grandma Jinji nodded again and whispered "yes".

Ye Zhao said: "Then tell me, why should I wait for twenty or thirty years?" You don't know which master you learned from this wishful thinking, but it's really good. ”

Grandma Jin Er said in her heart that your silver came for nothing, isn't it a big advantage to wait for twenty or thirty years? Doesn't that have to be cheap? It's also justifiable, and it's shameless! But how dare she say it? whispered: "Childe...... Childe is kind-hearted...... "In front of Ye Zhao, her voice is getting smaller and smaller.

"Gotcha! I don't listen to this! Ye Zhaoyi interrupted her words with a wave of his hand. And said: "Don't say that I don't give you the Tao family a way to live, so, I have a proposal, within a year, within this year, you will sell the Tao family's business and land, including Deshunxing, and sell it too!" This year is enough time to negotiate with the buyer, and I can also settle the guy who eats with your Tao family, I pondered, it is not a problem to raise a **10,000 taels of silver. ”

"You ......" Grandma Jinji finally raised her head, and said in her heart that you were too vicious.

Ye Zhao continued: "Let's make a deal of this silver, ironworks, in a few days I will write a letter to ask someone to go to the West to order a stove to recruit workers, and when our silver is ready, the furnace and workers will also go to Guangzhou!" This year, I also had enough time to clear the door and open the iron ban. ”

At present, iron ore is not mined casually, and after the First Sino-British War, the imperial court repeatedly issued orders to implement the "iron ban".

Grandma Jin Er bit her lip and didn't speak, but she was ruthless in her heart, can you clear the way and do something to me? The court seized you and cut off your head!

Who knows that Ye Zhao said again: "This iron factory, give you a hundred percent of the shares, it is for your second grandmother, not for the Tao family, you remember this clearly, and I estimate that in ten years and eight years, you will be able to earn back the 100,000 taels of silver sooner or later." ”

Grandma Jin Er was stunned and looked at Ye Zhao incredulously.

In fact, this was Ye Zhao's early calculation, using the Tao family's money to set up an iron factory with modern technology, Foshan has many iron mines, and the water and land are developed, and the coal transportation is also extremely smooth. Although in fact, in terms of resource distribution, Guangzhou is by no means the best place to set up an iron factory, but at present, the pig iron in the province can only be transported to Foshan for casting, and private casting is illegal, and there is no precedent for setting up a foreign iron factory. I can only have the opportunity to obtain official approval by doing so in Guangzhou, not to mention that the things in terms of resources cannot be a problem, and the country is poor in resources. However, more than ten years later, the Meiji Restoration began, and in just over 20 years, industry and commerce developed rapidly, and finally defeated the Qing Dynasty in the First Sino-Japanese War, and then defeated Russia, and became a member of the club of world military powers.

If it is really difficult to do so, the last resort is to set up an iron factory on Hong Kong Island, and the Qing Dynasty will not be in charge.

And to run an iron factory, to Jiner's grandmother shares is to hope that she can help take care of it, that is, to give her motivation, but also to slowly return the silver to her, although Tao Lao Er is not a thing, but it is unreasonable to take away people's business for no reason, the silver is given to Jin Er's grandmother's name, Tao Lao Er can not get the silver but does not do his own business.

Although Ye Zhao was disappointed after seeing Jiner's grandmother herself, she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of the iron factory and she would have to find another candidate, but the shares still had to be given.

"There is a document on the table, if you have any questions, see for yourself, but there is one thing, this is a trade secret, don't leak it." Ye Zhao pointed to the table and said, "Take it, you can go!" "Clapping your hands." Si'er, open the door and send the second grandmother home! ”

Grandma Jiner didn't dare to say more, took the paperwork on the table, and followed Ruisi quickly.
