Emperor Qianxi was indeed an old man, and even with a few words of encouragement, he wanted nothing to do with his hands. Ling Yun couldn't help but feel anxious secretly. According to this situation, not only would he have to leave the palace empty-handed, but he would also have to equip himself with a fan.
Just when he was depressed, Emperor Qianxi's next words made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ling Aiqing, how long does it take to make a fan?"
As soon as these words came out, Ling Yun felt happy. This was the moment he wanted.
I saw him hesitate to speak, "Your Majesty, this... it is estimated that it will take more than half a month. After all, the materials required for the fan are based on my ability..."
Emperor Qianxi frowned and said in surprise, "Oh? Why is this?"
Ling Yun secretly rejoiced, but the expression on his face instantly turned bitter. He choked slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the reason is so trivial that it is difficult for me to tell you, but I don't dare to deceive the Holy Spirit, so I have to tell the truth."
So he lowered his head in embarrassment and said slowly, "Actually, the fan I donated to Your Majesty today has cost me nearly 78/10 of my money. Now I am already short of money...I am afraid I will be powerless next time."
Suddenly he raised his head and gritted his teeth, as if he had made a decision.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. I still have one at home. I will send it to the palace as soon as I get home."
Seeing the person below him grimacing and groaning, he thought something had happened, but it turned out to be because of money. This made Emperor Qianxi couldn't help but find it funny, thinking that this guy had no money, so he was too embarrassed to speak.
At the same time, he was also inexplicably moved in his heart, because Ling Yun's words behind him made him feel a kind of warmth that he had not seen for a long time.
Expressing joy, Emperor Qianxi suddenly laughed heartily and said very boldly, "Hahaha... You little guy, you need money, just tell me, why bother pretending to be deaf and dumb? If you don't have enough money, I will allocate it to you."
He smiled and continued to ask, "Tell me, how much money does a fan cost?"
Although Ling Yun had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in the royal study. So he hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind and held out three fingers, "Your Majesty, the material cost for a fan is about three hundred taels of silver."
Three hundred taels, but that's not the case. Whether it's the fan blades or the shaft, the materials alone are very cheap. Add in the cheap labor, and the total cost adds up to a fan that can be made for less than twenty taels.
When he mentioned the number three hundred taels, Ling Yun did not intend to deceive Emperor Qianxi, but had his own purpose.
Emperor Qianxi nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Well, it's only three hundred taels, it's not worth mentioning!"
He turned back to look at Xiao Lizi and signaled, "Xiao Lizi, allocate 10,000 taels from the internal funds to let this guy make a few more, so that all the concubines in the harem will not come to me to complain."
There is actually a reason why Emperor Qianxi made generous plans.
During the lunch break, the fan was working. Needless to say, the cool breeze it blew out. Coupled with Ling Yun's method of placing some ice cubes in front of the fan, the wind blew out was so cold that they could not imagine it.
Because of the hot and muggy weather, even if Emperor Qianxi wanted to have sex with him, he would be sweating profusely if he moved even a little bit, and he would not be interested at all.
Unless many palace maids and eunuchs fan themselves, it would be slightly better, but when doing that kind of thing, even if Emperor Qianxi is the emperor and surrounded by many people, he will feel a little guilty, not to mention that his body is not as good as before, if something happens Embarrassing thing, more gain than loss!
After the fan came, everything changed. All it took was one person to add a jar of ice cubes. No matter how much he and his concubine played in bed, he could still feel the coolness, which inevitably made him happy.
Emperor Qianxi, who had been patient for a long time, took off his clothes and started moving around, not caring that it was still daytime.
Turning around, he looked at Ling Yun and asked, "Ling Aiqing, is ten thousand taels of silver enough?"
"Enough, of course it's enough."
This was what Ling Yun was thinking, because he happened to be short of these ten thousand taels, but he wanted more than just ten thousand taels. In other words, he could find someone else to take the ten thousand taels, but he couldn't get it from Emperor Qianxi.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this money is enough, but..."
When Emperor Qianxi heard this, he squinted his eyes, thinking that Ling Yun had said enough, but he was not satisfied in his heart. The expression on his face turned cold for a moment, and he asked, "It's nothing, but what other difficulties are there? Just tell me. , I make the decision for you."
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to take this money."
"Why is this?"
"Your Majesty, I know that during the Pingyang War, Your Majesty has already spent a lot of money. If you ask Your Majesty to pay for it again, what is the difference between you and a wolf-hearted person?"
Emperor Qianxi's eyelids twitched and he said in surprise, "You...really think so?"
Ling Yun raised a determined expression and said word by word, "Your Majesty, these are my words from the bottom of my heart."
Emperor Qianxi paused for a long time. He never expected that in the end, the whole court who cared about him would actually see this inconspicuous young man in front of him. He really couldn't believe it.
Then he got to the point and said, "In that case, how do you want to solve the problem of insufficient funds?"
Now, I can finally tell you my plan.
"Your Majesty, I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I have a plan that can not only solve the problem of my lack of funds, but also make money for your Majesty."
When he heard that he could still make money without having to pay, Emperor Qianxi was shocked and said with excitement, "Oh? Is there such a good thing? I don't need to pay, but I can still make money? Please tell me how to implement it. "
Seeing Emperor Qianxi's move, Ling Yun knew that Emperor Qianxi was moved. Thinking about it, he could make money without spending any money. No one would be tempted by this kind of business that guarantees profit without loss.
"Your Majesty, the fan in the hands of Wei Chen is the only one in our Daqian Dynasty. It is unique. If it is sold, it will definitely attract people to rob it, and naturally you can make money."
Emperor Qianxi was listening attentively, nodding from time to time, feeling that Ling Yun's analysis was clear and logical.
So he asked, "What are Ling Aiqing going to do?"
Emperor Qianxi's eyes were bright and bright, and he was extremely excited. Even he liked this fan very much. If he put it up for sale, it would definitely fetch a sky-high price.
When Emperor Qianxi asked, Ling Yun's words shocked him so much that he could not recover for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty needs money, so I plan to dedicate the method of making fans to Your Majesty. Your Majesty only needs to let the people below run it, and you can make money."
