Outsiders don't know the detailed accounts of Jubao Zhai, but they only guess that Jubao Zhai may have received four or five hundred thousand taels of silver, but Emperor Wanli knows the exact number! So during this time, he was crazy with happiness, and he couldn't be happy every day! But there was also one thing that was very unhappy, and even made his mood lower day by day. That is, when Emperor Wanli learned that there were already 200,000 taels of silver on the books, he issued an order to the Ministry of Industry to let them start acquiring land and building a martial arts hall. However, the people in the Ministry of Industry shirked it for various reasons, and there was no action!

This reminded Emperor Wanli of what Liu Haojia said to him: "This silver is not so easy to take!" Your Majesty must resist it! Otherwise, not only will this money not be kept, but I'm afraid even the secret recipe of the mirror won't be saved! What's more, if the civil officials succeed this time, they will be even more arrogant and will even more severely suppress Your Majesty! ”

By the time Emperor Wanli remembered these words, he had already raised his vigilance in his heart. Therefore, when he went to court, he not only began to observe the movements of the courtiers, but also often sent eunuchs to the street to inquire about some news. During this period, he also sent Zhang Jia out of the palace to meet Liu Haojia.

Some time ago, Zhang Jia brought back news that Liu Haojia guessed that when the sales of mirrors declined, it would probably be the time for the courtiers to make trouble! And in the past few days, although there are still people in Jubaozhai to buy mirrors, people have become very rare!

And the shopkeeper of Jubao Zhai went around looking for people to negotiate, and wanted to sell the mirror to other cities through other merchants, but they were all politely rejected by the other party! Emperor Wanli understood that these people were waiting to see if Gu Ningbo's Mansion could keep the mirror. If they hold on, they will naturally come to the door to talk about business; If they can't hold it, they will negotiate business with their successors, and there is nothing to lose anyway.

Things are just like Emperor Wanli guessed, huge interests have led to huge greed, and many people in the courtiers have long coveted the huge profits of the mirror! Whether it is a civil official or a nobleman, he has been estimating the sales of mirrors, so that he can decide whether he will compete for it according to the sales, or how much effort he will fight for!

But Zhang Juzheng and the others, who knew the inside story, kept silent, so that now everyone outside thinks that the mirror is the business of Gu Ningbo's mansion. So Liu Haojia told him that the civil and military officials would use him to attack Jubao Zhai, and as for who this Jubao Zhai would fall into, it would be up to him! So when Emperor Wanli knew that the sales of mirrors were declining, he understood that something would happen in the court soon!

This made Emperor Wanli anxious! Because he knows how tempting such a large sum of money is! You must know that the annual tax revenue of Daming is only a few million taels of silver, and Liu Haojia got 600,000 taels of silver in two months, which was an astronomical amount at that time! So he was impatient and had to go out of the palace again to find Liu Haojia to get an idea.

This time, Emperor Wanli and Liu Haojia met not in his Gu Ningbo Mansion, but in Jubao Zhai. Because Emperor Wanli felt that he was one of the owners of Jubao Zhai, and it was a big owner, it was a pity that he had not been to the store once, and he naturally had to go around this time.

When Emperor Wanli took Zhang Jia to Jubaozhai, Liu Haojia was already waiting in front of the door, he saw that Emperor Wanli was dressed in civilian clothes and did not pay a big salute, but just arched his hand like an ordinary friend, and led Emperor Wanli into the gate.

Entering the gate, Emperor Wanli looked curiously left and right, and found that there were not many types of products. He could only see a dozen products, and they were all small mirrors. Things like handheld mirrors, round mirrors, dresser mirrors, etc. Each mirror has a separate counter. The hall looks empty.

After reading it, Emperor Wanli pursed his lips and felt that the placement of this floor was a little shabby. Liu Haojia explained beside him: "Long live the lord, after all, this mirror is just a single object, and there are not many categories that can be developed. Especially the big things are on the second floor, so the first floor is a little thin! ”

Emperor Wanli nodded and said, "I understand, go upstairs and take a look!" ”

A few people went up to the second floor, and Emperor Wanli saw that although there were large-size mirrors here, including large items such as dressers, they still didn't take up much space. This made Emperor Wanli feel a little bored and uninterested.

Liu Haojia knew that his mind was not on Jubao Zhai, so he directly led him to the clean room inside. After personally bringing tea to Emperor Wanli and the others, he said, "Long live Lord, you are still here for the matter of silver this time, right?" ”

Emperor Wanli said: "After Liu Aiqing talked to me last time, I was very upset! So when I came this time, I thought about discussing with Liu Aiqing how to keep this money? ”

Liu Haojia said: "Long live the lord, this silver can't be saved!" But we can spend the money so they don't get it! ”

Emperor Wanli was a little anxious when he heard this, and said: "This silver is all spent, so what do we use?" Is the martial arts hall closed? ”

Liu Haojia said: "Long live the lord, don't worry, you listen to Weichen tell you slowly!" ”

At that moment, Liu Haojia slowly explained his plan, and Emperor Wanli didn't laugh when he heard it, and he was in tears! In the end, Emperor Wanli patted Liu Haojia's arm and said: "Brother Liu is really a genius, he can think of this kind of idea!" If it happens, I will reward you well! ”

Liu Haojia thought to himself, when he has no idea, he is Liu Aiqing, and if he has an idea, he is Brother Liu, you are realistic enough! But he still bowed down and said: "It's all for the Long Live Lord, not to mention the reward!" ”

Emperor Wanli suffered a loss, so he didn't bother with the issue of rewards again, and said directly: "The day after tomorrow!" The day after tomorrow, Brother Liu will enter the palace, and we will do this! ”

Liu Haojia naturally agreed. got Liu Haojia's idea, Emperor Wanli was satisfied! He stood up and said, "I was in a good mood by Brother Liu's words, and it also attracted all the sleepiness that I couldn't sleep in the past few days!" I'm going back to the palace to catch up on sleep! ”

Seeing Emperor Wanli say this, Liu Haojia hurriedly led the way in front and sent the master and servant out. After he watched them join the guards and leave, Liu Haojia returned to the room to reorganize the plan, and found that there was indeed no mistake before returning to Gu Ningbo's mansion.

The morning after tomorrow, Liu Haojia arrived early outside the palace gate and stood still. His position is where the waiting officials stay. A large group of officials at all levels and petty officials in the surrounding area.

In the Beijing Division, anyone who can wear an official hat has to be forty years old, even fifty or sixty years old is common. Even some of the little officials are younger, and they have to be in their thirties! So Liu Haojia wore a red robe and stood in the crowd, which was extremely eye-catching!
