Chapter 221 The money is hot
The fundraising was going very smoothly. The officials who were in the Ministry of Rites could find that Mr. Deng was in a good mood, with a smile on his face, which made people feel more and more like a spring breeze. Deng Huaisu occasionally bumped into Jiang Anyi in the yamen and always wanted to hold him back to chat for a long time. Passing officials knew that Mr. Deng and Mr. Jiang were brothers of the same school and had a good relationship.
Love the house and the Wuwu, Tian Shoulou's life in the Ministry of Rites became better, and Mr. Deng also spoke to him with a smile, and the only example of Lingshi who was under the ninth rank enjoyed this glory. Some Shulingshi, Zhanggu and others raised money to invite him to drink, which made Tian Shuling's face shine.
Jiang Anyi was not very concerned about fundraising. He heard from Mr. Deng that it had exceeded 6,000. Officials who came from Zechang Academy and served as local officials in the local area responded enthusiastically and all donated money. According to Mr. Deng, he had contacted Deng Shanchang and would hand over the 2,000 taels of silver to the academy in the near future.
The turbulent action of the "Ze Party" has caused trouble in the officialdom. Many people from Zhangyi Academy found their boss, Pan Shangshu, the Ministry of Personnel, and said that they could not lose to Zechang Academy. They also had to donate money to the academy and donate more. After hearing the news, the Imperial College was not willing to fall behind. The students from the prison also came from poor families, so we also had to donate.
For a time, the saying of raising seeds of scholars was rampant. Everyone was afraid that money would not be donated, so they looked for their own team. Finally, Shi Fangzhen was also alarmed and asked the reason in the court. Wei Yishen explained the situation. Shi Fangzhen praised him very much and warmly praised Deng Huaisu, the first person in Ningbo. Then he changed his mind and gathered all the money in the court, which was managed by the Ministry of Revenue and used it uniformly.
Everyone was "happy".
The March day in the world is as bright as a clear spring, with a light fragrance in the sing of the wind. Jiang Anyi and Fan Shiben took their family out of the city for a walk. Put those mischief aside, don’t let the good spring down.
As soon as he returned home, Uncle Xu, who was guarding the door, reported: "Master Jiang, a group of guests came and said they were relatives from your hometown."
Jiang Anyi was stunned. Who came from his hometown? Why didn’t he receive a letter from home? He came to the study in two steps. He was sitting there. When he saw Jiang Anyi coming in, everyone stood up with a smile.
The third uncle and An Yong came to the family, Guo Haiqing and Fatty Guo came to the family, Yu Zhihe came to the Yu family, Yu Qingshan's uncle and nephew. When Jiang Anyi saw this show, he knew it must be related to business. Now is not the time to talk about this, Jiang Anyi called Dong'er to call someone. Dong'er blushed and saw many elders, so he turned around to arrange supper.
There was no one else in the house, and Jiang Anyi said in a cold chat: "It's rare for you to come here. You can spend a few more days of time in the capital. I'll just take a few days off and take you around. Fatty Guo, there are several delicious restaurants in the capital. I'll take you to eat one by one."
My third uncle is of a seniority and first said, "There are still a lot of things at home, so how can I have time to play with it? An Yi, this time I came to talk to you about perfume. We discussed it for a while and thought it would be more appropriate to come and talk to you in person."
"Have you made the perfume?" Jiang Anyi asked in surprise without expecting it so quickly.
An Yong took out a small porcelain bottle from a large wooden box on the ground, which was only the size of a thumb, and plugged his mouth with cork.
"Brother, look, is this kind of thing?"
Pulling the plug open, a strong fragrance of plum blossoms comes to your nose, thick but not strong, and smells very nice.
Jiang Anyi actually doesn’t know much about perfume. He just thinks that the perfume in this bottle smells better than the powder applied to Dong'er and should be sold at a good price.
"Yes, has someone tried it?" Jiang Anyi asked.
Jiang Anyong responded with a smile: "Mom and Yan'er have used it, and they both said it would be fine. The fragrance will last for three days."
Guo Haiqing and Yu Zhihe interjected and said that their family members had used it and said it was OK.
Jiang Anyi stuffed the block again, put the porcelain bottle on the table, and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Guo, you are an expert in business. What price should you set for this thing?"
Guo Haiqing and Yu Zhihe and his third uncle looked at each other and said cautiously: "We come to the capital to find you together, just to set the price for this perfume."
Seeing Jiang Anyi playing with the porcelain bottle thoughtfully, Guo Haiqing swallowed and said, "For women, it is not an exaggeration to call this thing magic water. Since my two daughters-in-law used it, they have asked my two sons to ask me every day, and they are almost annoyed."
Yu Zhihe and his third uncle were nodding beside him, as if they were indifferent. An Yong also smiled and said, "Mom and Yan'er are also fascinated, especially when Yan'er is rummaging around in my room all day long, and she searched the two bottles of samples I hid."
"If you want to talk about the price, it must be equivalent to gold at least. I, Lao Guo, dare not open this price." Guo Haiqing looked at the porcelain bottle in Jiang Anyi's hand with a little greed and a little fearful look.
Yu Zhihe was not familiar with Jiang Anyi and did not speak so casually. He said with a careful look: "This thing is now available, and you can imagine how popular it will be. Just take the price of waiting for heavy gold. Based on our production capacity, we can produce about 4,000 kilograms this year, that is 40,000 taels of gold, one tael of gold and twenty taels of silver, which is 800,000 taels of silver, which is more expensive than burning a knife. This is still this year, and incense flowers will be planted in the fields next year, and the conservative output can be tens of thousands of kilograms. I really can't imagine the silver."
While saying that Yu Zhihe was sucking in a cold air, he murmured: "This money is a bit hot."
Guo Haiqing poked his son gently next to him, and Guo Huaili said, "Xiao Jiang, my father and others mean that they are afraid of being missed by others. With your strength and strength, you and Lord Yu, you are afraid that you can't stop it. Is there any way you can?"
Jiang Anyi was shocked by Yu Zhihe's estimate. At that time, he just planned to build a manor for Zhang Keji for more than 100,000 taels of silver. Unexpectedly, he created a shocking monster and immediately pondered and thought.
Yu Zhihe and Guo Haiqing looked at each other, and Guo Haiqing said, "An Yi, I'm selling this thing for a while. If you throw it out rashly, it's the root of trouble. If you definitely launch it now, the Guo family doesn't want to interfere in this business."
Yu Zhihe also smiled bitterly and said, "Although my elder brother is the Minister of Revenue, he has a shallow foundation. For the sake of my elder brother's future, my Yu family may not dare to interfere in the perfume business."
Third uncle Yu Kailin also advised: "An Yi, this money is really too much, so you must be careful. The three of us came to the capital together to persuade you not to disclose the perfume for the time being, or to think of other ways."
Unexpectedly, the money was too hot, Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "You stay here for the time being, don't worry, I won't let go of the perfume business rashly before I found a solution."
When everyone saw Jiang Anyi listening to the advice, they put aside their worries. Jiang Anyong smiled and said, "Brother, I don't care about my uncle and the others. Brother Fat and I want to play in this capital for a few more days. By the way, the Wuliang wine recipe you wrote has also made the wine, which tastes great, but the masters of the restaurant said that a few years of age will have a stronger fragrance and a better taste. Moreover, our restaurant now has a knife, so we don't rush to take it out."
As he was talking, Dong'er came in and asked for dinner. During the banquet, Jiang Anyi asked about the situation at home in detail, and An Yong answered one by one.
Turning his head, Jiang Anyi asked Guo Huaili, "Brother Guo, can you take the Juren exam tomorrow? Come to the capital to reunite as soon as possible after passing the Juren."
Guo Huaili laughed and said, "Xiao Jiang, you are really good at telling jokes. You don't know me yet. The scholarship passed the exam is a blessing for you. How dare you expect a juren? I have helped my father manage his business in the past few years and have lived more freely. By the way, I got married last year, and your kid's gift has not been delivered yet."
Yu Qingshan looked at Guo Huaili and Jiang Anyi and was very envious, but his four brothers drove away Jiang Anyi who was studying in Yu's mansion and missed this fate and had nothing to say, so he had to drink silently. Yu Zhihe smiled and said, "The second brother asked me to bring Qingshan's nephew to the capital and ask the eldest brother to find a way to send him to the Imperial College. In the future, you may want Anyi to help you with the first and second. Qingshan is still unrespected with Anyi."
As time goes by, Jiang Anyi certainly would not take the little things of the past to heart. He smiled and said, "Brother Qingshan, I have a good relationship with Qinghuan and Qingle. If you have time, you might as well come and go with them often. If you have any difficulties, just say that Jiang will not refuse what he can do."
Yu Qing's face turned red and raised her glass to drink with Jiang Anyi.
After dinner, Yu Zhihe took his nephew to his elder brother's house, and the Guo family and his third uncle, An Yong naturally lived in the Jiang Mansion. An Yong wanted to sleep with his elder brother, but was woken up by his third uncle.
"Your elder brother has started a family and started a career, and he is still sleeping with you?" Jiang Anyong touched his head and smiled embarrassedly. When Shi Tou saw Anyong, he must have a good martial arts skills with his uncle. Two children, one big and one small, danced with their legs in the yard.
After trying perfume, Dong'er became more fragrant and charming. Jiang Anyi was very excited and let Dong'er sing for a while and was drunk in the spring breeze.
Touching Dong'er's smooth back, Jiang Anyi asked, "Dong'er, if that bottle of perfume was placed in the jade store, how much would you spend to buy it?"
"I'm willing to do as much as possible." Dong'er's eyes flashed with golden light, and she replied without hesitation, and then rubbed Jiang Anyi: "Brother Yong brought so many perfumes, you can't sell them, I'll ask for them all."
"No, no, no, no," Jiang Anyi gently patted Dong'er's plump body and smiled, "There are so many things in the future. What do you want to do to take a bath?"
I heard that some people have returned to a little normal and said hesitantly: "Ten taels of silver per bottle? No, it's too little, at least twenty taels of silver, or even fifty taels."
Dong'er's tone became more and more firm, and she exuded countless little Venus.
The bottle of perfume is less than one or two taels, and twenty taels of silver is equivalent to one or two taels of gold, which is the pricing of Guo Haiqing and Yu Zhihe. Unexpectedly, Dong'er's eyes have been filled with more than one or two. It seems that perfume has great potential to be tapped. But it is not unreasonable for everyone's concerns. With their own strength, as long as the perfume is released, it will be swallowed up by others for half a year. Maybe the royal family can't help but insert it.
