Chapter 8 Laughing
Chapter 8: Mocking
Xue Mei told Liu Zhongde about the abacus method.
Liu Zhongde can settle accounts and can learn it once. He personally tried the abacus and found that it was indeed easy and much easier to use than a sand table.
This is more accurate.
If the accountant uses this item, it will be much easier to hire the accountant in the future, because the mistakes in the beads are much less than those in the sand.
Liu Zhongde's eyes had already shined.
"The most amazing thing about this thing is that it can calculate larger numbers and will not make mistakes. The store has big deals and many semicolons. With the abacus, it will be no problem for you, Manager Liu, to check the accounts of seven or eight shops by yourself." Xue Mei said again.
Liu Zhongde was already moved.
Xue Mei continued: "I made this thing today, and I bought beads instead of ready-made Buddhist beads. Everything is very rough. I sold you the method of making this thing and using the mantra. You paid 20,000 taels. What do you think?"
Liu Zhongde was a little more awake.
He looked at Xue Mei, a little embarrassed.
The thing is indeed very useful, he thought it would be nothing if he spent more than a dozen taels of silver to buy it.
"This...Miss Xue, you are so expensive." Liu Zhongde said in a difficult situation, "I'm afraid it's not worth the price."
"Then why don't you ask Prince An Cheng to see if he is willing to give this price?" Xue Mei smiled, "You don't want it, then I'll sell it to other merchants."
Liu Zhongde was shocked.
What surprised him was not that Xue Mei threatened him to sell this item, but that she told Prince An Cheng.
The boss behind Zhai Yuxuan is Xiao Mingyu, the prince of Ancheng.
Xiao Mingyu is the nephew of the current emperor. He runs this shop privately to seize profits from the people, and the emperor did not agree with it. However, he paid a lot of taxes every year and gave the emperor, queen and queen mother a lot of filial piety. The emperor turned a blind eye and closed his eyes.
The emperor also needs money.
If the national treasury is used, the censors will keep impeaching and making noise, and the emperor will have a headache; and the emperor's private treasury has strict standards for input.
Therefore, the filial piety fee of Prince Ancheng is legitimate, and the censors cannot say anything.
This matter cannot be put on the surface, so Prince An Cheng is very low-key and also reminds everyone in the shop to act in a low-key manner.
If anyone bullies others by virtue and makes things worse, he will beat them out and punish them heavily.
In recent years, there are not many people who know that Zhai Yuxuan is the property of Prince Ancheng.
Miss Xue said this, which surprised the shopkeeper a lot.
"Shopkeeper Liu, don't be shocked. I'm afraid you don't know. Prince Ancheng and my elder brother Xue Chi are old friends. He often visits my elder brother." Xue Mei explained.
This is true.
She chose Zhai Yuxuan for this reason. She had just traveled over and went to her elder brother's yard and saw her elder brother and a man talking in the pavilion at the door from afar.
Xue Mei's elder brother Xue Chi was shot in his thigh when he was sixteen years old. The arrow was poisonous, so he could only have his entire leg cut off, saving his life.
There is no anesthetic in this era.
When Xue Mei thought that his elder brother's leg was cut off, and when he was awake, he felt creepy when he heard the sound of his bones being sawed, he felt that Xue Chi was so pitiful.
How did he bear it at that time?
Since her legs were broken, Xue Chi was stuck in the house all day long. She was carried by the servants by chance, sitting in the pavilion at the door, basking in the sun.
Xue Mei had cheating on her personal terminal and had room for her. She immediately stopped and used the loudspeaker in her personal terminal to hear her elder brother and Prince Ancheng chatting about business.
Prince Ancheng mentioned his Zhaiyuxuan. The business was quite good recently, but the emperor asked him about the more and more money he asked for every year, which made him a little difficult.
"Oh, it turns out..." Liu Zhongde finally had real respect in his eyes.
"I drew all the methods and methods of using this abacus on paper. You can ask Prince An Cheng if he is willing to pay 20,000 taels? If he doesn't want to, I will ask other merchants again.
This shop in the capital is not only the only one who can invite the imperial edict. I will sell it to a nobleman casually, and he will write it with a seal and write it with "Imperial Made". It would be illegal for you to make it privately.
You can only buy it from him. If he sells one hundred taels of money, you won’t think it’s expensive. If you sell a few hundred, the capital will be back and you can continue to make money in the future. After all, there are so many shops in the world, and there are many people who can afford it." Xue Mei smiled.
Liu Zhongde was moved.
This is not only an excellent accounting tool, but also a way to make money.
"Miss, please wait!" Liu Zhongde saw Xue Mei getting up and leaving, and hurriedly tried to keep her, "Twenty thousand taels are not a small amount. A villain cannot make this decision, so he has to ask the master for instructions.
Miss wait for a while, for ten days, and the master agreed, so he naturally sent the silver to your mansion. If the master did not allow it, the lady will teach the villain how to use it first. The labor cost is worth 200 taels. I will definitely offer it at that time. Please be tolerant for ten days."
Xue Mei's expression was plain: "Naturally, I'll wait for the good news."
After saying that, she came out of Zhaiyuxuan with Hongluan.
Hongluan was very excited and trembled slightly. What did she hear?
Their lady said a few words, and a piece of wood can be sold for money? Even if they don’t want it, they will give her 200 taels to the lady for spending?
Two hundred taels are enough for their Huiningyuan’s monthly expenses for half a year.
They are going to have money.
If it goes smoothly, then Prince Ancheng bought the lady's things, it would be 20,000 taels.
Twenty thousand taels!
Hongluan was so excited that she was about to cry. She only felt that their ladies would sooner or later be richer than the third lady, and no one would be afraid of it.
"Miss……"
"Shh." Xue Mei made a silence against her, and the two of them got on the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Hongluan planned to say that Xue Mei leaned closer to her and lowered her voice: "Let's talk about it back to Huiningyuan. The coachman is from the mansion, and we don't know who he is. He is not exposed, do you understand?"
Hongluan immediately pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
But she had many questions to ask, and she was about to suffocate her to death.
The cat in Xue Mei's arms raised her eyes and looked at her. At this moment, the cat's eyes bent slightly, as if they were smiling.
Xue Mei saw it, pinched its face, and whispered: "Are you happy too? My son is not stupid, I know that my mother is going to make money."
cat:"……"
Xiao Jingcheng, who doesn't want to be his son, is a little depressed and wants to scratch her.
Hongluan is also hard to describe: the lady is a good daughter in the boudoir and calls herself a "mother" to the pet, which is really outrageous. When others hear it, they still don't know what gossip.
A good girl, aren’t you shy about being a mother so anxious?
This is pretty shameless.
Their master and servant walked out for a day, and when they returned to Huining Garden, it was already evening.
Dai's mother and two other maids were worried all day long. If Hongluan hadn't followed, they would have cried anxiously.
Seeing the lady coming back, the few people were not disappointed. They stepped forward to change her clothes and served her to wash her.
Xue Mei’s actions today have been told by the coachman that his real master, the third wife.
The third lady couldn't hide the matter and told the old lady again.
Soon, everyone knew about it.
Chapter completed!
