Chapter 107 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 32
The Eighth Prince called his confidant with a sullen face: "Check for me, how did Fu Jin know about the palace so quickly? Replace the gatekeeper, and warn anyone who approaches the study from now on, no matter who it is."
"Yes, Master."
The Eighth Prince called the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince over. Both sides wanted to break the ice. If the Eighth Lady had not arrived so timely, or had been a little more polite, the ice would have probably been broken.
He came so timely and his attitude was so rude.
As for the Ninth Prince's "aggression" later on, the Eighth Concubine kept giving him the cold shoulder the whole time, forcing him to make a choice and to say in public whether the Concubine or the brothers were more important.
The Eighth Prince was in a dilemma. He wanted to offend no one, but ended up offending everyone.
As for whether the Eighth Concubine was plotted against?
This is certain. The Eighth Prince knows it, and the Ninth Prince also knows it. However, the Ninth Prince just wants a clear statement from the Eighth Prince, but he can't give it.
On his way back, the Ninth Prince thought about how he had been very sincere to the Eighth Prince over the years, but he never expected that he had been in the wrong.
On that day, two young eunuchs were cleared out of the Eighth Prince's mansion.
Those two young eunuchs, the prince's men, are very useful.
When Le Shu learned the news that night, she couldn't help laughing. Once the relationship was broken, it would be difficult to mend. The Eighth Prince was probably trying to coax both sides in private, but the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince would be leaving soon, and he wouldn't have that much time to coax them.
Hahaha……
Le Shu just felt refreshed. The couple next door were so annoying. She was happy when they were unlucky.
Yinzhen held his son in his arms, looking reluctant: "It won't be long before I go to Mongolia, and I won't be able to see you and Rongyu for a long time."
Compared to Yinzhen's reluctance, Le Shu may have become accustomed to the fast pace of modern society and to separation, so she doesn't feel it deeply.
"Mongolia is not far from the capital. If you can't bear to leave your children, come back often."
Yinzhen cared more about his son than she did.
"I think so too. I'm afraid we'll be busy this year. Winter is coming soon. It's not easy to survive in Mongolia in winter. It's easy for something to go wrong. We'll also be going with the ninth and tenth brothers. The ninth brother is quite capable, but I'm afraid he won't obey my orders, so I'll have to spend some time to discipline him."
Le Shu had just heard about the Ninth Prince's statement in front of Emperor Kangxi and was very curious about him: "The Ninth Prince is not bad in terms of ability. He had made contributions in the Ministry of Works before and is very good at new things. With Concubine Yi as his backing, why would he want to follow the Eighth Prince around? It's not impossible for him to fight for it himself."
"Old Nine has lost confidence after being hit by the Emperor's father. The Emperor thinks he has learned the wrong things. My brothers are all angry about the Emperor's favoritism towards the Crown Prince, but we all envy the Crown Prince for being able to receive the Emperor's love. The less he gets, the more he cares about the Emperor's evaluation."
Lao Jiu is like this, in fact, he is the same, his mood is unstable. He spent almost half of his previous life being patient and restrained, and in fact he was not happy.
"Are you sure about Ninth Prince's situation?"
"He is a smooth-talking donkey, easy to please."
As for the Ninth Prince, he naturally didn't like him because he had been against him in his previous life, but it was also true that he had the ability.
This time, Kangxi came up with a castrated version of the wool plan, and he was the only one who saw more possibilities. Even because there were so many people around, he didn't say much.
Yinzhen never doubted the brotherhood between the Ninth Prince and the Eighth Prince. He felt that the Ninth Prince went to Mongolia on the one hand to avoid rumors in the capital, and on the other hand probably to give birth to the Eighth Prince.
Made of wool, Mongolian trade, huge influx of money, and support from various Mongolian forces...
Before leaving, Yinzhen went to the main courtyard.
"Fujin, I have to go to Mongolia and probably won't be back until the New Year. I hope you can take care of the affairs of the mansion."
"Don't worry, Master. I will take good care of the child."
"I am naturally confident in Fu Jin's work. Fifth, ninth, and tenth brothers, you must follow me on my errands. Tenth brother's wife will probably go with you. If you run into fifth and ninth brother's wives at the banquet, help them if you can. If you encounter any problems that are difficult to resolve, just send someone to deliver a letter to me. Don't be afraid of the trouble..."
"Yes, I understand."
Yinzhen gave some instructions, had a meal and left.
-
On the other hand, after knowing the departure date set by Yinzhen, the Eighth Prince was anxious to meet the Ninth Prince, but he suddenly had a lot of things to do and he never had the chance.
It was only on the day he left that he said a few half-truths in public. The Ninth Lady rolled her eyes, turned around and left, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold again.
The Eighth Prince sighed: "It's my fault. Your Eighth Sister-in-law has already promised to apologize to you..."
The Ninth Prince also sighed and interrupted him: "Go back, Eighth Brother! After all, we are brothers. When your younger brother comes back, call the brothers to get together again! It's time to leave, Eighth Brother, please don't see me off."
A rather polite remark made the Eighth Prince's expression change again and again, and finally he had no choice but to watch him get on the carriage.
When Yinzhen left, he did not let anyone from the mansion come out to see him off. He explained everything that needed to be said, but he suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
When he saw the Ninth Prince and the others, Yinzhen looked a little depressed.
We set off without much greeting.
After Yinzhen left, Le Shu became busy as she had to take care of the children and start the dye business.
The core dyeing technology is developed in a farm in the capital. Once the dyes are made, they are sent to the south of the Yangtze River. The clothes dyed with the novel and beautiful dyes are naturally novel and beautiful as well. The key is that the color fixing technology is very mature and the color will not fade after repeated washing.
The cloth immediately caught the attention of the Jiangnan weaving merchants, who wanted to take it for themselves. However, after some inquiries, they found out that the money was from the capital, but they were told that it was unacceptable. Although they were rich, they did not dare to confront you head-on. So Jiangnan soon had another imperial merchant, and once the cloth was in their hands, its value increased many times.
This process is not easy, but the result is good.
It is not difficult to train imperial merchants, but it is difficult to really make things and not just have the title. Nowadays, the titles of imperial merchants are clearly marked with prices, and the quality of the products they produce is definitely no problem, but innovation is lacking.
Other people's royal merchants were all used as backers and received tributes from the royal merchants. She personally controlled the core technology and had clear accounts. The profits here were so great that Le Shu was shocked when she received the first payment.
"It's only been two months, five hundred thousand taels, don't make a mistake?"
This is five hundred thousand taels, not one hundred taels. The pencil has not made this much profit since it was launched. Yinzhen has so much private property, and five hundred thousand taels is not enough to bring in this much income in a year.
Gao Wuyong also thought it was too crazy. He carefully inquired and checked, and there was no problem. He repeatedly assured: "I asked, it is 500,000 taels, this is an integer, and there are still many shots in the account!
"I have checked the situation in Jiangnan. As soon as the new fabrics were launched, the wealthy merchants in Jiangnan were eager to buy them. Families with some wealth in Jiangnan have a special liking for some of the fabrics. Many poems have been circulated, which is why there is such a profit."
After listening to this, Le Shu said: “Have someone release two of the best-selling fabrics. The entire Jiangnan region will be limited to 100 pieces per day, and the price will remain the same. The rest of the fabrics will be limited to 10 pieces per day throughout Jiangnan.
It is very important to control the amount of inflow and no one can break the rules. We should tell the public that the dye production process is complicated, time-consuming, difficult to obtain, and can only be sold in limited quantities. "
Let’s launch the limited edition concept first, and as for membership and even the auction concept, we’ll take it slow.
After Gao Wuyong was sent away, Le Shu smiled and murmured, "Jiangnan is such a rich place!"
In fact, there is no shortage of rich people in that place, but the south of the Yangtze River is particularly wealthy.
