Chapter 906: Wake Up
"My lord! And it was done. ”
Seeing that the expression on Mingmo's face was a little relaxed, Gu Chengyu knew that he had successfully bought those ingredients.
"How much money did it cost?" Gu Chengyu put the account book in his hand on the bookcase and asked curiously.
Mingmo suddenly smiled, and his tone was very brisk.
"It's exactly 10,000 taels, but Steward Jiang said that he spent a lot of effort this time, and he almost didn't negotiate. However, in the end, the old man still agreed. It's just that I asked Steward Jiang halfway about what he wanted these mildew-stained fabrics to do. Steward Jiang's answer was also divine, saying that he bought it back to make silk flowers or purses and sell them. ”
Gu Chengyu nodded, this is indeed a good excuse. Although you can't make much money by making these small things, you can still make some money.
It's just that this old man will believe it? Gu Chengyu felt that it was a little impossible.
"Then Master Ju still doesn't believe it! kept asking, how could Steward Jiang tell him the reason? In the end, he couldn't, so he could only sell this batch of materials. ”
Mingmo felt that this Jiang steward had some ability, and this time he had finally completed the task assigned by the adult.
"Have you ever been to see the Steward of Zizi? What is the situation? ”
Gu Chengyu was afraid that all the materials would have mildew, if this was the case, even if the spots on them were removed, the color of the materials would not be as bright as before, and the price would be greatly reduced.
"Steward Jiang looked at this batch of materials before negotiating the price, and said that the materials on the lower layer were the most damp and mildew. Some of them are whole, and there are quite a few on the cloth in the middle, and the top ones are much better, just sporadic spots. Listen to your orders, put these together, and we will pay 10,000 taels of silver, otherwise we don't want to give those broken materials full of mildew. ”
For Gu Chengyu spending so much silver to buy these fabrics that no one wanted, Mingmo kept muttering in his heart.
They had never heard of the mildew on this cloth that could be removed, and if they couldn't, wouldn't they have lost 10,000 taels of silver?
Do you really want to find someone to make silk flowers or purses? How much fabric does that have to be wasted? Discarding what you can't use is a waste.
"Today, I will ask the shopkeeper Jiang to get the materials, you first find hundreds of ingenious women among the victims, and I will have my own way to eliminate the black spots on the fabric."
Time was pressing, Gu Chengyu could only call more women to help, and he planned to use alcohol to eliminate the dark spots on the material.
But where did the Dayan Dynasty get its alcohol? Gu Chengyu has space, but he can't take it out. Even if it is taken out, it is not enough.
This requires the distillation of alcohol first, using the low-alcohol liquor made from the grain in the market, which needs to be done by people.
"Oh! Before that, one person was given a box of hand grease, which was used to apply to the hands, and applied it for two days, and did not do rough work. ”
Gu Chengyu suddenly thought that these women were usually used to rough work, and their hands must be very rough.
The material of the silk is easy to hook, and if the silk is shaved, they will really lose a lot of silver.
That hand fat is hand cream, which is a very popular cream in Gu Chengyu's fat powder shop. After just three days of application, the situation will improve dramatically.
"Huh?" Mingmo was suddenly surprised, the adults of his family are so generous, they even sent these? Isn't this a few dozen taels of silver?
"What did the Xia family say when they invited those rich businessmen two days ago?" Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that Patriarch Xia was racking his brains to confront him for the past two days, and asked in a hurry.
"The villain bought a small servant who served his family, saying that the Xia patriarch was going to buy the rice grain of the other four families, and it was still calculated at the current price."
"Who agreed?" In fact, it is a safe move to sell grain to the Xia clan at this time, but these people will give up the silver they think is easy to get?
I'm afraid I won't be reconciled, right? But it's not that no one doesn't have a brain, maybe someone is still sober.
"There are only two, one is the Liu Mansion and the other is the Ju Mansion, and the other two did not agree. At home, he even had a falling out with Patriarch Xia, and he was a little unkind to Patriarch Xia in his words, which made Patriarch Xia lose face. ”
Mingmo remembered the news she inquired about this morning, and then said: "I heard that the price of Xia's cloth in Xia's cloth village has dropped sharply this morning, and the people have flocked to it, and there is a long queue in front of Xia's cloth village. Ju's cloth village is in a slump of business, and it is even more deserted than before. ”
Gu Chengyu was dumbfounded, this Ju Haoming's temper was really big, and even Patriarch Xia didn't sell face? However, who gave him the confidence?
Is there really someone behind the home? Gu Chengyu nodded his chin, thinking that the Ju family had found a backer.
But who else in the DPRK can compete with Xia Qing? Isn't it just the princes?
It is impossible for the prince to be about it, this is not like the style of the prince. After all, as a prince, he should think about the people, how could he allow his family to collect grain on a large scale to raise food prices?
If you really do this and be known to others, will you not be in the hands of others? How can you become a prince if you are so immoral?
is not the crown prince, and the rest of the candidates are only King Jing and King Gong. The third prince has gone to Bao'en Temple two years ago to become a monk, and now he has realized the Dharma name!
Who the hell is it? Gu Chengyu felt that both King Gong and King Jing were possible.
No wonder the Jiang steward went to buy cloth today, and things went so smoothly. It can't be said that it is because there has been no business at home in the past two days, and the cloth is backlogged in the warehouse.
Then these mildew-stained cloths might as well be sold cheaply, so that they can have more silver turnover.
"I remember that there is another one that is the Jiang family, right? Why didn't the Jiang family agree? Patriarch Xia didn't trouble their Jiang family? ”
"It's the Jiang family! It is said that the Jiang family did not refuse, but only said that they still had to consider it! There has been no movement in the Jiang family in the past few days, and it is still as usual. ”
Gu Chengyu groaned, this Jiang family was cunning, and he definitely didn't want to agree.
It's just that because Patriarch Xia is pressing, he can't be offended, so he came up with a delaying strategy.
"Manager Chen, has my father woken up?" In the Chengqian Palace, the crown prince was anxiously waiting in the palace.
After his father fainted this morning, he was immediately carried back to the dormitory. It's just that two hours have passed now, and the father has not woken up yet, and the prince is anxious.
"Your Highness, the emperor has woken up at this time, but he feels unenergetic. He told you to go in now, and he had something to do with you! ”
De'an came out of the inner hall, suppressed the worries in his heart, and pulled himself together to deal with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It was the second time that the emperor had fainted, and this time he had been in a coma for longer than before, so how could De'an feel at ease?
When the prince heard this, he didn't care about being polite, and hurriedly quickened his pace into the inner hall.
As soon as the prince entered, he saw his father leaning on the pillow, his eyes blank, looking at the dusty hair on the top.
The prince trotted over, and before he could reach the bed, he knelt down.
He took a few steps on his knees, stepped forward and grabbed the emperor's hand, and shouted softly: "Father! ”
