Zhao Ruxi, whether in modern times or in ancient times, is a very thoughtful and strong person. She likes to have everything in her own hands. Even if the other party is someone she trusts again, she will not put everything she has into the hands of the other party.

Although the more she knows, the faster she will die, but she can't do it if she doesn't ask anything.

At least she had to know what she knew.

Her heart was already loose, but she asked, "What about your second emperor brother?" Aren't you going to talk to him? You make a wedding dress for him. He doesn't contribute himself, and you're struggling alone in the back, what's the picture? ”

"He's definitely going to have to do it, and he's going to be the one who charges. I don't want to sit there, just like you, I naturally have to keep myself safe when it happens. ”

Xiao Lingyan said solemnly: "But he is different from you. I must have had reservations in front of him, and I couldn't tell him everything. You are the one I trust with all my heart. ”

Although he knew that this guy was coaxing himself, the purpose was to let himself help him and give him advice. But it is undeniable that hearing this, Zhao Ruxi is still quite useful in his heart.

She said, "Okay, tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

Xiao Lingyan whispered his plan to Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi felt that Xiao Lingyan had worked out a very appropriate countermeasure after being familiar with the situation and finding out the bottom during this period of time. She also talked about some of her ideas, and the two complemented each other, perfected the strategy, and finally gave the whole plan.

"Alright, it's about the same. After all, some things change quickly and have to be adjusted on a case-by-case basis. It's hard to say how things will play out, we can only make a rough plan. Zhao Ruxi said.

Xiao Lingyan nodded: "You're right. ”

He said, "I asked you to meet today, and there is one more thing. That is, the clock bought by Fu Yunlang was shipped to the capital. ”

Saying that, he told Zhao Ruxi the details of this business, and then said that he led Fu Yunlang into the palace to offer the bell yesterday.

At first, he only assembled four bells in the south and sold them to Fu Yunlang through the hands of the preacher, recovering 20,000 taels of silver.

The steel used in the clock is better than that of the safe, the parts are finely made, and the wood used for the outer seat is also good wood, and the cost is higher. Coupled with the freight, the cost of a clock is about five hundred taels.

The bribe of the preacher cost two hundred taels of silver, and the four bells earned seventeen thousand eight hundred taels.

Although the business of this trip cannot be compared with Zhao Ruxi's safe, it is quite a toss, but this is only the beginning, it is still in the stage of making money, without losing money, you can still make so much, Zhao Ruxi and Xiao Lingyan are quite satisfied.

What's more, in Fu Yunlang's business later, Xiao Lingyan still has a component, and another percent of the income of the auction house, although he doesn't make much, but he can recover the cost of making clocks.

Counting the money Fu Yunlang earned, Zhao Ruxi was unhappy in his heart.

She said: "Find a few supports, a bell can shoot tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?" I worked hard to make the clock, and you tossed and turned, but in the end, Fu Yunlang took the big head and picked up the cheap, why am I so unhappy in my heart. ”

"At that time, the border is urgent, there is a shortage of materials, and the lives of my father and brother are in danger, and the silver in Fu Yunlang's hand will also be spit out. He's only keeping it temporarily. Xiao Lingyan comforted.

Zhao Ruxi thought about it and gave up.

This money should have been earned by her, donating materials from her hands, and donating materials from Fu Yunlang's hands, the benefits they get are naturally different.

If Fu Yunlang is this person, she will be pleasing to the eye. But since the crossing, because of the matter of Bao Zhai, Fu Yunlang has used his wealth and power to suppress her, and wants her to give him his life. She naturally had a bad impression of Fu Yunlang. When the benefits fell on him, she felt uncomfortable.

But when she built the bell, her original intention was to change the political situation and save the fate of their group of cannon fodder. As long as you can achieve your goal, you can suffer a little loss.

Moreover, Fu Yunlang came out to stand up to the thunder and attract artillery fire, and it was not easy to deal with many open guns and hidden arrows, and it was also appropriate to drop some benefits. And if she chooses to hide behind, she can only make some technical money.

Thinking about it like this, Zhao Ruxi's anger in his heart was smoothed out.

"It's fine. When Fu Yunlang goes to the south again, I will ask the preacher to raise the price a little more. As long as this auction tastes the sweetness, it will be seven or eight thousand taels of silver a clock, and Fu Yunlang will buy it if he wants to. Xiao Lingyan said.

"When this kind of clumsy clock can't be sold, let's make some other bells with other appearances, smaller and more delicate, such as cuckoo clocks, and then cut a stubble of leeks."

Zhao Ruxi nodded and reminded him: "Jiangnan is a big market, don't forget to ship it over there." Your auction house can also go there, but be fast and get a head start. As long as your identity is revealed, no one will dare to copy you, and your auction house will also be an exclusive business at that time. ”

Xiao Lingyan tapped the table: "You reminded me, you really have to do this." The auction house is a profitable business, and there is no cost, as long as you have a stable identity, it is very easy to emulate. If others learn to take the lead in the provinces, I won't be able to say anything at that time. After all, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. Before the concept of an auction house spreads, I have to send people to the provinces to open auction houses. ”

"By the way, your painting will also be auctioned when the time comes." He said what he said when he went to Kang's mansion to discuss with Kang Shilin.

"Got it." Zhao Ruxi said, "My master's impatience, how can I wait for you to tell me?" Last night he sent someone to Suipingbo's mansion to tell him about the situation, and he asked me to leave the painting. ”

Xiao Lingyan laughed: "That's okay, you don't have to find a way to send it to me." ”

The two have a lot to discuss. After saying this, Xiao Lingyan thought of the jade and asked, "Have those rough stones been cut?" How about the jadeite? ”

In his previous life, he loved to look at gambling stones, because of curiosity, he also went to the southern border with friends who bought jadeite raw materials, saw several very famous mines, and gambled on stones a few times.

Although the Great Jin Dynasty is an alternate era, its geographical location is exactly the same as the terrain of the country where they are located in modern times. This gives him a lot of convenience.

Before he sent someone to buy the mine, he drew a topographic map and asked his subordinates to find it according to the topographic map. If someone is mining, just buy the mine; If no one is mining, after finding out that there is really a mine underground, buy the place and ask the locals to mine it.

His subordinates searched for the directions he had given, and sure enough, they found a few bonanzas. Only one of them is mined, but the amount of mining is not large, and there is still a lot of value.
