Section 21 The Poor and the Rich

After hearing Yun Ye's words, the eldest grandson helplessly supported his forehead with his hand, and couldn't bear to look at the scene again, these distant relatives of the Li family had already stood up, and Jiugong trembled and pointed at Yun Ye and said, "I don't know how much business you will take?" The old man mobilized his clan to make up, and maybe he could make up the numbers you need. β€œ

"The younger generation has done three things until now, the first is to build a Yushan Academy, the second is to build a Yuezhou City, and the third is to build this Great Emperor giant ship for His Majesty when he is idle, as if everything is not something that can be done by 100,000 guan or 100,000 silver coins."

The eldest grandson had a headache, she was already regretting getting Yun Ye over to deal with the wealth demands of these clansmen, Yun Ye was planning to kill one or two old men alive.

Jiugong listened carefully to Yun Ye's words, and asked the queen: "Niangniang, what this young man said is the truth?" The eldest grandson raised his head and said: "Although he is not disrespectful, there is no mistake in what he says, but it is so, the academy, Yuezhou, and the emperor are indeed from his handwriting, which is why this palace wants to hand over everyone's money to him, he can probably provide the goods you want, and he will also ensure the quality, and his reputation is very good at this point." β€œ

"The old man just wants to ask, this Great Emperor is worth 100,000 yuan, young man, if you can't come to a reason, the old man will definitely argue with you in front of His Majesty."

It's just a ship, no matter how huge he is, it's not worth 100,000 guan, this is Jiugong's most intuitive cognition, according to their opinion, this is already a huge amount of money that can affect the rise and fall of a country, Li Yuan's start-up capital was only 60,000 guan when he got up, and due to the lack of news, they are almost completely unfamiliar with the ever-changing Datang.

Yun Ye pointed to the landing point of the old man's crutches and said, "This carpet under your feet is from a famous Persian craftsman, not an ordinary wool product. But cashmere, in Persia has always been an inch of cashmere and an inch of gold, and the value of this huge carpet is 7,000 silver coins, which is what you call 7,000 yuan. β€œ

The old man was shocked, looked down carefully, Jinyang is also a place of half farming and half herding. He didn't know the preciousness of cashmere, and after seeing clearly that the carpet under his feet was really made of cashmere, he couldn't help but take two steps back and sit on the chair.

Yun Ye pointed to the chair under the old man's buttocks and said, "There are eight chairs you are sitting on, plus the small square of the wine jug you have put on it, it is made of the most precious yellow sandalwood, this kind of wood is very rare, it is difficult to see large materials, because after growing for a long time, the yellow sandalwood will become hollow." It is difficult to make plates and square materials, the younger generation thinks that the bright yellow of sandalwood can best reflect the grace and luxury of the royal family, even better than red sandalwood, the emperor is the car of His Majesty, and this wood must be used, so we are in Nanyang, His Royal Highness the King of Wei conquered 16 countries to collect enough wood to make these chairs and a few pieces, how much do you say these chairs are worth? β€œ

Cold sweat trickled down Jiugong's forehead. At stake is the reputation of King Wei, and Yun Ye will definitely not lie about these things. Then there is only one possibility, and that is that these chairs are indeed worth a fortune. In a trance, the tea bowl in his hand fell on the chair and fell into four or five petals, Yun Ye sighed and said: "If you miss this time, the three thousand guan will be gone, and Wu Yannian, the master of the Xing kiln, did not understand the secret of the porcelain kiln until he died, and personally fired this set of white porcelain with eight pots. You see it is as thin as a cicada wing, hitting it with a golden sound, the pine crane at the bottom of the bowl is like coming to life after being filled with water, Wu Yannian fired this set of porcelain and then did not have time to explain the process, he died of exhaustion. I spent three thousand silver coins. Coupled with the process of coke, this set of porcelain is now incomplete, and the peerless treasure has become a masterpiece. β€œ

Yun Ye closed his eyes in pain, and he didn't know what the eldest grandson thought of entertaining this group of turtles with this set of cups, this is the real tyrannical thing, damn Wu Yannian burned a set of cups so excited, and he didn't even leave a word.

Not only was Jiugong stunned, but even the eldest grandson himself was also half-convinced, looking at his own tea bowl, and then at the tea bowl that was broken into several petals, seeing the painful look on Yun Ye's face, he ordered Honggu to call the eunuch in charge of porcelain, she planned to ask these tea bowls in person Are they really so valuable?

After the eunuch came in, he saw the broken tea bowl before he saw the eldest grandson, screamed, crawled to the chair, picked up the porcelain pieces in his hand and cried, and kept saying: "I can't live, I can't live, this is Wu Yannian's absolute sound, God, I can't live." β€œ

Honggu stepped forward and slapped the eunuch in the face, which made the eunuch who had fallen into madness wake up, lying in front of the eldest grandson and constantly kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"It's not your fault, this palace won't punish you, just ask you how much this set of porcelain bowls is worth?"

The eunuch in charge of porcelain himself understands porcelain, and said with tears in his eyes after listening to the words of the eldest grandson: "Back to Niangniang, this set of porcelain bowls can't be priced, this is the same set in the world, Aunt Hong asked the old slave Yunhou if the price of the porcelain bowl brought by Yunhou was blackmailed, and the old slave sued Aunt SΓΉ Hong at that time, and the palace picked up a big bargain, which is this set of Songhe porcelain bowls." β€œ

Honggu grew her mouth, the things sent by Yun Ye were never checked in the palace, she was just strange about such an outrageous price, asked the old man in charge of porcelain, and got a very valuable answer, so she didn't ask again, but she didn't expect it to be this set of porcelain bowls.

"Niangniang, the old Meng Lang, damaged the priceless porcelain bowl, please punish the mother." Jiugong and a large group of old men all lay on the carpet to plead guilty, this time it was a big shame, and they ruined the treasure of the host's family as a guest.

The eldest grandson asked Honggu to help these old men up and said with a smile: "We are all relatives, broken bones are still connected to tendons, although the tea bowl is precious, where can it compare to our deep affection, never like this." ”

The old men who had caused trouble didn't have the face to stay here with the eldest grandson for long, and after confessing their crimes, they retreated, and Yun Ye saw that they seemed to still be angry, so he said loudly: "Be careful when you go out, the entire gate is made of wooden and can't withstand strong pushing." ”

Jiugong staggered, and waited for the eunuch to open the gate before he slowly walked out, and no one touched the two gates, for fear that the gate would be damaged and he would rely on himself.

Seeing that the old guys were gone, Yun Ye quickly opened all the windows and complained to the eldest grandson: "How can your old man stand this smell, and I don't know how to open the windows for ventilation." ”

The eldest grandson snorted and said: "They are all old people in their seventies and eighties, they can't stand the cool breeze on the lake, they think that everyone is as heartless as you, you sent away these old people with luxury today, maybe they will make even more excessive demands, they are all people who made great efforts in the founding of the country, Your Majesty will not refuse their request."

You don't know, they have no knowledge and no courage, but the foundation of my Li family is them, the three sons of Jiugong all died on the battlefield, although they did not make any great achievements, but when my Li family got up, they were the most loyal followers, and they were also the most unlikely to betray a group of people.

Every family has children who died in battle, after the establishment of the dynasty, they did not have significant meritorious deeds, so the title was not high when they were rewarded, most of them were small titles such as viscounts, but they had no regrets, and still guarded the ancestral tomb of Jinyang, the emperor and his majesty had sworn that they would never fail each other, so they were always extra generous to their majesty and me, as long as they were not excessively demanding, we would agree.

They stay in the poor mountains and remote places all the year round, the news is blocked, these years to see that the Tang Dynasty has become rich, and they feel that their life with the clansmen has not changed much, so they invited these clan elders to come to Chang'an to ask Majesty XiΓ  to give them some guidance on how to make money, you also know that His Majesty is not only the monarch of the Tang Dynasty, but also their patriarch, it is the responsibility of the patriarch to make the clansmen rich, you didn't just try your best to make the Yunjia Zhuangzi rich, this is a truth. β€œ

Yun Ye nodded and said: "That's true, these people are to His Majesty, just like the people of the Yun family Zhuangzi are to Weichen, the foundation is naturally not damaged, but it is easy for them to make a fortune, and it is difficult to make them rich in the times, with talents, the poor ravine can also fly out of the golden phoenix, without talents, even if you give them a gold ingot, they will still be hungry." β€œ

The eldest grandson looked at the lake outside the window and said: "This palace naturally knows this, but you have also seen them, Jiugong is already the wisest clansman, but he is not even qualified to fight in front of you, and he is at a loss by some of your words, and he has never seen a big scene, so it is difficult." β€œ

Yun Ye suddenly laughed, and the eldest grandson said angrily: "What's so ridiculous, is it very proud to scare away a few old people who have never seen the world?" I have called you all these years to respect the elderly, and I haven't learned it. β€œ

"Niangniang, Weichen is not laughing at those old people, I am laughing at our master and apprentice for being too self-righteous." The eldest grandson looked back at Yun Ye and said, "Tell me, how can we be self-righteous and law-oriented." β€œ

"Niangniang, this story Weichen told His Majesty before, saying that there was a peasant woman and her husband sitting on the ridge of the field and imagining what kind of life you and Your Majesty lived. The peasant woman said that you must be cooking scallion pancakes every day, all year round, and the farmer said that your majesty must be carrying a golden hoe every day to plow the ground. β€œ

As soon as the words were said here, the eldest grandson couldn't stop laughing, Honggu was about to die of laughter, and the other palace maids were even more struggling with laughter.

The eldest grandson couldn't stop smiling and said, "If you deliberately arrange this palace and you try, what is the truth in saying this metaphor now." β€œ

"Niangniang, Weichen just found out that the thousand guan in the eyes of you and Weichen is different from the thousand guan in the eyes of those subordinates, we think that according to their merits, those people will want a palace, in fact, people just want a blue brick and big tile house, thinking that less than one million guan can not make people satisfied, in fact, there are 10,000 people are very satisfied."

The eldest grandson clapped his hands and said: "That's true, let them make their own requests, if it's too simple, we will double it, if it's too much, we will delete it, it's indeed a good way, so that it not only catches the hearts of the people, but also doesn't hurt His Majesty's face."
