Keep asking for all kinds of support and tips!

On the eighth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, it was a sunny day.

When Li Tao limped off the dilapidated cargo ship, Li Shouhan was teasing his daughter Erya in his garden.

Erya is seven or eight months old, fat and white, and very cute. One or two simple syllables popped out of his mouth, babbling something in his mouth, and there was a smile on his little face.

Shouhan hugged his baby daughter and pointed to the little girl in the mirror, "Erya, look, who is this child?" ”

Erya saw a child with pigtails on her head opposite, she was very excited, and touched it with her pink little hands, but what she didn't expect to touch was glass.

Seeing her daughter patting the mirror with her little hand, Yan Mei'er was a little flustered, "Erya, don't shoot it, don't break the mirror, come to my mother." She was afraid that the second girl would ruin this extremely valuable household belongings.

Not to mention anything else, just a mirror frame is made of old yellow rosewood transported from Qiongzhou Mansion, those wood, all of which were obtained from the head of the house when Zhang Xiaohu exterminated the Turen village, most of them are decades or hundreds of years old wood, which has run out of water vapor, and is the most suitable for making wood. This pair of frames alone can bankrupt many families in the mainland.

Not to mention, the gap between the frame and the mirror is filled with gold for the edge. The six-foot dressing mirror that cost more than a dozen taels of gold trim reflects the image of Shouhan and Erya's father and daughter in the slightest.

Yan Mei'er has heard a few people from the front yard house, glass workshop, and Han Yuan firm say that such a dressing mirror was sold to the Francophone people in Hoi An, to the gentry and grain merchants in Guangzhou, and to the salt merchants in Yangzhou, for 10,000 taels of silver, and these people could take out the silver without blinking their eyes.

There are too few mirrors of this size! There are so few mirrors so clear!

"It's okay! As long as Erya is happy, it's okay to smash this mirror! The shou man didn't look back, and Yan Mei'er replied with a smile. As he spoke, he raised his hands, and everyone saw a flower, and Shouhan had already put Erya on his neck, and asked his daughter to see if there was a child like her hidden behind the frame.

Seeing that there was no child behind the beautiful frame, Erya was suddenly disappointed, and couldn't help but grin and cry.

"Ground, bag, daddy." While crying and pointing at the frame with her small index finger, her actions immediately surprised those present.

"Oh my God! The eldest lady can talk! I'm shouting at Daddy! "Cai Pozi, Yang Pozi, Xiu Zhu and others led by a dry maid mother-in-law suddenly smiled, their joy is from the heart, first, the behavior of the second girl is indeed beyond the appearance of ordinary children of this age, second, such a happy event, Shouhan couple is bound to be a big reward, such a thing, naturally the more the better.

"Say hello to my sister."

"Congratulations sister!"

Mei Shan and Sister Shilin naturally will not let go of such an opportunity to show their kindness, they know very well that their status can only be the status of a concubine, and they were half robbed and half married by the Xianggong, how can such a status be compared with Yan Mei'er and the Xianggong who have been in trouble all the way?

"Okay, Erya, come to my mother, don't always haunt your father." After Yan Mei'er smiled and greeted Sister Meishan, she stretched out her hand to take Erya back, but unexpectedly, Erya turned over and hugged her father's head, probably meaning to play here for a while.

Shouhan carried his daughter and ran around the garden a few times, shocking the surrounding soldiers all shocked, the lord carried the eldest lady in the yard, once there was a mistake, but our sin!

It's not bad, after running a few times and making his daughter laugh again, Shouhan quietly found a chair and sat down, stretched out his hand and motioned to the person next to him to bring the small three-inch mirror on the small table made of bamboo and rattan.

After fiddling a few times in the sunlight and choosing the angle, Shouhan began to show his daughter the principle of refraction of light. A bright spot ran around the yard, which suddenly made Erya very excited, cheering on Shouhan's knees.

Taking advantage of her happy emptiness, Yan Mei'er quietly motioned to the nurse to pick up Erya, and took Erya to the side to play with Xiuzhu, she knew that there would be something to say in the Xiangxiang Guild later.

Wiping the sweat on his head with the hot towel handed to him by his own soldiers, Shouhan warned himself in his heart that he must pay attention to exercising, and he can't always go on like this, and it is better to go to Sister Meishan's room less. Otherwise, it's easy to get your ambitions unrewarded.

"Let's talk about it!" He motioned to Liu Qinghong, the head of the glass workshop, "How many mirrors are there?" How much does each pair cost, and how much is it expected to cost? ”

"This?" Liu Qinghong was a little embarrassed, although he was one of the directors of the glass workshop, he was only responsible for sales, and he was a little unclear about the cost of the six-foot dressing mirror.

However, Lin Huofeng, the big shopkeeper of the Han Yuan firm on the side, relieved him: "Pick up what you say clearly, don't talk nonsense if you don't know!" ”

"Yes!" With these words, Liu Qinghong had a bottom in his heart, coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and began to report this huge luxury situation to Shouhan.

"The fourteen taels of gold used for the border, and the huanghuali and red sandalwood used to make the frame were seized by Commander Zhang from Qiongzhou, and converted into salt, grain, cloth and other things for him. According to the current shipping cost price of Hejing, each frame, including wood and labor, is about 180 taels of silver. As for the cost of glass, the small one is not very clear. ”

"Well, that's good! You're good! To know is to know, and not to know is not to know. I don't know what I shouldn't know. Shouhan praised Liu Qinghong very awkwardly, but this young man was very surprised, why I didn't know the cost of glass, but I was praised?

"This six-foot dressing mirror has been discussed by the public, and it has been submitted to the firm for approval, and it is planned to be sold at a price of 10,000 taels of silver."

The teacup in Shouhan's hand rang for a moment, "Ten thousand taels?" ”

"That's right! Ten thousand taels! Such a small three-inch mirror is sold to the public at a price of ten taels per side. The rest of the three-foot and one-foot mirrors range from 5,000 to 3,000 respectively. Subordinates believe that mirrors of three-foot, one-foot, five-inch, and three-inch specifications should be mainly sold to the outside world. ”

"Ten thousand, five thousand, three thousand, fifty taels, ten taels!" Shouhan muttered to himself, and others seemed to think that he was dissatisfied with such a price, and did not meet the price he had in mind.

As everyone knows, such a price has greatly exceeded the psychological bottom line of Shouhan!

The solution is poured on an iron table, rolled out with a copper stick, and the glass is made, and in the same way, the mercury is poured evenly on the surface of the glass, and one side of the glass is covered with mercury, and then the paint is applied, and when the paint dries, the mirror is made. Taken together, the cost of such a six-foot dressing mirror is only more than one or two! As for those three-inch and five-inch mirrors, some may be made of scraps in the processing process, and the cost is even lower.

"With such huge profits, how can I pay luxury tax and VAT!" Shouhan roared secretly in his heart. "Full of calculations, a six-foot dressing mirror, the cost is only two hundred taels, even if there is no seized wood in the future, the purchase price of wood is only a few dozen taels, such a dressing mirror, will not exceed the cost of three hundred taels, I have more than thirty times the profit, how much tax do I have to pay?!"

Outside the Moon Gate, the head of the Business Statistics Office, the wooden tooth dog, led Li Tao limping in.

"My lord, there are six sides of such a mirror right now, this is one of them, and the rest of the two, what do you think about it?" As the big shopkeeper of the firm, Lin Huofeng's consideration is naturally not comparable to that of a principal like Liu Qinghong.

"In this way, this side will be moved to the wife's room, and there will be two sides, one side will be sent to Sister Shilin, and the other side will be sent to Li Changshi's mansion and handed over to him for disposal. The other three sides were sent to Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Hoi An and other places for exhibitions, and we can accept reservations! ”

"Please general, save my family!"

Li Tao waited for Li Shouhan to finish explaining these things before he dared to plead.

"Yo he! Lai-sama! Why are you like this?! ”

As an important minister and confidant of the Li court, Li Tao used to pay attention to his image, not to mention being neatly dressed and beautiful, even his beard was combed, but now it is a different image.

I don't know when the headscarf on my head was hung up and half pulled, only a few of them fluttered weakly on the bun, and I don't know if it was soot or sludge in the bun, sticking the originally gray hair to one place. The cyan robe on his body was also stained.

What's even more terrifying is that I don't know what the reason is on my right leg, and there is a big blood stain on my trouser leg.

While ordering someone to treat Li Tao's wounds, he asked him to sit down and explain the reason.

"The thief of the Zheng family, the intention is to be unfavorable to my family!"

Li Tao found that something was wrong after Prince Zheng strengthened the palace guards three times, and he was afraid that the terrible history would repeat itself, so after urgent consultation with Li Muhua, he quietly went from a dark river (drainage pipe?) in the palace garden. He fled and went to Ha Tinh to find Li Muhua's husband, and now General Li came to rescue the troops. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the dock at Thang Long, he was discovered by two Zheng family's guards.

Li Tao was also alert, didn't say anything, and offered two gold ingots in both hands. The two soldiers were also bare-chested, took the gold, and waved their hands to let Li Tao go, and as soon as Li Taofang turned around, one of the soldiers slashed him in the right leg with a knife.

"The two of us are patrolling, and when we meet Xiao Xiao, we have already cut him to serious injury!" The slashing guard seemed to be talking to himself.

"You!" Li Tao knew that this was because the guards had collected the money, and they were unwilling to take responsibility, so they did it deliberately, and once it was exposed, or it was discovered by other patrolmen, they would have something to deal with.

After briefly treating the wound, he got into the boat arranged in advance on the dock and headed south.

That's how it used to be.

Untied the wound hastily wrapped in the placket of his clothes, the cut wound on Li Tao's right leg was blurred with flesh and blood, and it was only briefly treated with incense ash, and there were already some purulent places, and there was a faint stench.

After Lang Zhong carefully treated the pus and blood in the wound with alcohol and absorbent cotton, sprinkled with knife wound medicine, and wrapped it in fine gauze, Li Tao felt that his right leg seemed to be his own.

"General! For the sake of each other's in-laws, I implore the general to go north to save my majesty, oh no, my lord! Seeing Li Shouhan's face sink slightly, Li Tao realized that he had made a mistake, this was an official of the Ming Dynasty, but how could he recognize the title of emperor of the Li court?

"Send Lord Li to rest! Decoction diet, arrange well, there must be no mistakes! ”

was carried away by two pro-soldiers, Li Tao turned back from time to time, and shouted to Li Shouhan with tears on his face, "General! For the sake of my young lady, I must ask for your help! You don't want the Zheng family to kill your woman too, do you?! It's not good for the reputation of the general! ”

When Li Tao was caught by his own soldiers and walked through the Moon Gate to the pavilion to rest, the voice of the guard came from his ears.

"Ask Lei Mingsheng, the director of the workshop, to come to the meeting, and in addition, summon Zheng Zhu to come. I'm going to see him in an hour. ”
