Chapter 41: Where Did He Get His Money?

After the two of them calmed down, Li Wei instructed Xiaoqing to arrange a place for them to live.

Xiaoqing first arranged for Xiaoyue to live in a side room in the backyard, and then arranged for Fufu to live in the front yard.

In ancient times, larger courtyards had front and back yards, and although the house arranged by Zhu Yuanzhang for Li Wei was not very large, it was also structurally complete, and the front and back yards were very clearly divided.

According to the rules, only the master and the maid can enter the backyard, and the male servant cannot enter the backyard casually, unless the master allows it, Li Wei doesn't know this, but Xiaoqing still understands.

After Xiaoqing left with the people, Li Wei and this man were left in the hall, looking at his unruly appearance, Li Wei smiled, got up and walked in front of this person.

This person did not squint and ignored Li Wei's scrutiny.

Li Wei took out a piece of paper from his body and handed it to him.

The man's expression moved, and he looked at Li Wei suspiciously.

"This is your deed, if you are willing to do things with me, you can do it, if you don't want to do it, you can leave."

Li Wei said lightly.

A look of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you really willing to let me go?" ”

"Yes, aren't all the deeds in your hands?"

"Why?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "No, I just think that you are a very good person, you should be a capable person, it is not difficult to help you, just help." ”

After hearing this, the man's eyes flashed with a mixture of doubt and surprise, and he took the deed, opened it and looked at it, yes.

Clenching the deed in his hand, a wave of excitement rose in his heart.

When he was a slave in someone else's house before, he didn't think about escaping, and he tried, but the Ming Dynasty is now very strict in controlling the flow of people, and there is no paperwork, so it can be said that it is difficult to move an inch.

Li Wei was able to run around outside Yingtianfu at that time, it was the result of Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangement, otherwise he would not have been able to go far and would have been arrested.

But now it's different, with the deed in hand, you're really free!

It's just that at this time, he was a little hesitant, should he leave or stay?

After a moment's hesitation, the man said:

"You just said that as long as you do it for ten years, you will let us be good, then I will work for you for ten years, and you and I will not owe each other after ten years!"

He also knew that Li Wei might also have the idea of subduing him, but since everyone was so sincere, he was not an ungrateful person.

Besides, he is now penniless, helpless, and has nowhere to go for the time being.

"Okay, you can go down too, and work with them tomorrow."

Seeing that this person was still righteous, Li Wei nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, sir!"

Since he has agreed to be a slave for ten years, the man also called the master.

"By the way, my name is Bujiha."

Before leaving, the man said.

"Then I'll call you Abu from now on."

"Good!"

With a promise, Bujiha left for the front yard, and he understood the rules.

"This man is not simple."

Li Wei looked at the back of this Abu leaving, and thought to himself in his heart.

He admits that he has an element of gambling.

The reason why I want to save this person is mainly because of the protagonist's psychology, and when I see this kind of capable person in distress, I want to rescue and subdue him.

Of course, there is also a little reason for sympathy, and even if it fails, it will only lose ten times of money, and it will be earned back in one day, what are you afraid of?

After arranging the three of them, Xiaoqing returned to the hall.

"Master, they've all arranged."

"Well, tomorrow you will take them to make soap, the key steps are to do it yourself first, you work hard for a few more days, first see if these people are reliable, if there is no problem, then give it all to them."

Li Wei kept an eye on it.

"Okay, sir, don't worry."

"Well, let's go rest."

"Okay."

Xiaoqing turned around, walked two steps and turned back to ask, "Do you need me to wait for the master to change his clothes?" ”

Li Wei was hot when he heard this, his heart was pounding, and he was about to agree.

Good.

"No need."

Li Wei's mouth trembled, and he refused inconsistently.

Xiaoqing turned around and left a little lost.

Li Wei was stunned, and then his intestines were repentant, and he raised his hand and wanted to slap himself......

In the Qianqing Palace, after Li Wei just left the government and went home, Zhu Yuanzhang got the report.

"What? That dog thing bought three slaves? Where did he get the money? He's embezzled? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang calculated the accounts very clearly, he gave Li Wei a hundred yuan, excluding the money for renting a house some time ago, plus daily expenses, there must not be much left, these three slaves have to say forty or fifty yuan, and then they have to eat, drink and Lazar, which is another expense, and it is not enough to buy so many slaves?

"That's not true, hasn't Master Li made soap and sold it recently, or the money he made from selling soap."

The guard replied respectfully.

"Selling soap? Is it profitable for him to sell that thing? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.

"Well, Lord Li's soap sells for five hundred yuan for two yuan, one piece is two hundred and eighty-eight yuan, and it can be sold for fifty yuan a day, but this should be because Lord Li makes it himself, and he can only make so much in a day, and now he just arrives at the market every day, and the soap he brings will be sold out, and the business is very prosperous."

The guards reported in detail that they were going to buy a piece to show the emperor, but after knowing that the price was so expensive, they immediately broke off this idea, and their income as guards was not high, so if they didn't reimburse them at that time, it wouldn't be a big loss.

In fact, they reported these a few days ago, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look at them carefully, and he didn't take them to heart, he just knew that Li Wei was doing a small business.

But now he has carefully calculated, fifty yuan of soap a day is calculated at two hundred and fifty yuan, that is also twelve and five hundred yuan, Li Wei has worked for so many days, maybe he earns more than he can earn in a year, and now he has bought a few slaves for him to work, and he will definitely be able to make more in the future!

If you can make 100 yuan a day, it is 25 yuan, and it is nearly 10,000 yuan a year.

1,000 yuan a day, 100,000 yuan a year, 10,000 yuan a year is a million yuan!

After settling the accounts, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became calm, and stood up from the dragon chair in shock.

He can not care about it, but he has to care about it if he is ten thousand or even a million!

Now that the Ming Dynasty is in ruins, if there is so much money, whether it is the Northern Expedition or other government affairs, it will be much easier!

"This dog thing, with this good thing, you don't even offer it!"

After scolding, he suddenly remembered that Li Wei seemed to have told him such a thing, and let him give it a negative evaluation with strange skills.

Hiss......, this is not easy to do, it is not good to let him pull down his face again, right?

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and he had a headache for a while, blaming this dog for not saying it clearly at that time!

"You see how he does it...... Soapy yet? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"This, the subordinates just looked at it from a distance, and the specific production method is not very clear."

The walls of Li Wei's house are monitored by the pro-army every day, but although the process of making soap is not difficult, it is not something that can be figured out by looking at it from a distance.

"In this way, you have carefully read it for me, and I have clearly written down the steps of his production!"

"Yes! Subordinates obey the order! ”

"Also, this matter will be kept secret from us, if we know who dares to leak it out......"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed, and his voice became gloomy.

The guard hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, your subordinates will be tight-lipped and will never leak half a word!" ”

"Well, that's good, let's go down."

After being frightened, Zhu Yuanzhang waved off the guards in a flat voice.
