About a week after the fans were sold, pirated copies were sold on the streets in the capital. Ling Yun reported this to Emperor Qianxi, who was so angry that he called the prefect of Kyoto to the imperial court and gave him a lecture.
After coming out of the palace, the prefect of Beijing directly inspected the fans on the streets of Beijing. As long as they were not sold by Lingyun, all fans were seized and destroyed.
As for how to identify?
It has to be said that Ling Yun had the foresight and had long expected that someone would imitate him, so he negotiated a cooperation with Emperor Qianxi that day and asked for a seal from Emperor Qianxi when he left.
This seal is unique to the Imperial Palace, and each fan made has a unique impression. This is also to guard against the emergence of piracy.
Fans have been in constant demand ever since they were sold, and the supply has always been in short supply. The site for making fans moved from a small yard to a large house provided by Emperor Qianxi.
The manpower has been increased to 100 people, just to keep it under control.
It has to be said that Beijing is really a place of crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and there are countless rich people.
After supplying the court ministers, Ling Yun began to target wealthy people, especially those from aristocratic families and businessmen. Even though he had increased production to an astonishing thirty aircraft per day, there was still some shortage of supply.
Half a month later, Ling Yun checked the bills. From the beginning to now, the total income reached an astonishing 180,000 yuan. After excluding labor and various material fees, the net income was about 140,000 yuan.
Ling Yun distributed more than 50,000 yuan of this money, and gave the rest to Emperor Qianxi.
Because of the fan incident, he got his wish and bought a yard, which cost him a huge sum of 20,000 yuan. He cut out so much money at once that his body ached for a while.
Within half a month, the fan production was on track and he no longer needed to keep an eye on it, so he relaxed.
During this period, I did everything myself, which made me suffer a lot. But the moment I got the money, all the fatigue disappeared. Nothing is more inspiring than money.
At the Li family's dinner table, Ling Yun ate with the Li family. The scene, which was originally a happy and joyful one, became obviously cold when he mentioned that he had bought a yard and would move out soon.
The four of them were minding their own business picking up vegetables and eating, without anyone speaking, and the situation was awkward for a while.
Speaking of Li Chengyou, a person who used to eat very politely, after hearing this incident, the sound of chewing vegetables was very crisp, as if he was deliberately eating.
The one who reacted the most was Li Shuyu. When he heard Ling Yun say that he was moving out, his expression suddenly changed. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't talk nonsense without Li Chengyou's permission during the meal, he might have pulled Ling Yun to question him now.
After being silent for a while, Mrs. Li took the lead and said, "Yun'er, are you not comfortable living here with Master, or are you unhappy in some way?"
Ling Yun put down the bowl and chopsticks and explained, "Master, Master, Yun'er feels very comfortable living here, but I have been bothering Master and Master for a long time, and I really can't bear to continue to disturb you."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li was stunned, with a disappointed expression on her face, and sighed, "Yun'er, this is your home. You can stay here as long as you want. Why do you say such polite words as disturbing me?"
Ling Yun's heart sank, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, but the words had already been said and it was hard to take them back. In order to prevent them from misunderstanding, he forced himself to explain, "Master's wife, Yun'er didn't mean that. Yun'er felt that sooner or later he would move out. Besides, I bought a courtyard during this period, so I wanted to find a time to move there. After all, I can’t let the house sit idle.”
Mrs. Li asked, "Yun'er, when did you buy the yard?"
"Master's wife, it was just yesterday."
"How far is it from here?"
"It's not that far, only three or four miles."
"oh!"
After asking, Mrs. Li stopped talking.
The scene fell into silence again. Ling Yun glanced at Li Chengyou and found that his expression remained the same, neither salty nor bland.
This state remained until they got up to leave after eating. From the beginning to the end, Li Chengyou did not express any opinion on Ling Yun's move.
After Li Chengyou left, Li Shuyu came up and tugged on his sleeve, choking and saying, "Brother Ling, are you really sure you want to move away?"
Ling Yun nodded, expressing his determination.
Li Shuyu raised his head and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Ling, can you not leave? If you leave, there will be no one to play with Shuyu."
"this…"
Ling Yun choked on these words and didn't reply for a while. He paused for a while and comforted, "Sister Shuyu, don't cry. It won't look good if your face is stained with tears."
Li Shuyu still raised his head, showing his stubborn side, and sobbed softly, "If Brother Ling doesn't leave, Shuyu won't cry."
Ling Yun enlightened, "Even if my brother moves out, Sister Shuyu can still go and play with him. My brother's yard is not very far from here."
Hearing this, Li Shuyu immediately stopped crying and asked, "Is it true?"
Ling Yun smiled and replied, "Of course it's true! If sister Shuyu wants to play with her brother, she can go at any time."
Li Shuyu thought for a long time and felt that what Ling Yun said seemed to be correct, so he nodded thoughtfully and said, "This way...that way, that's okay. If it's not far away, Shuyu misses Brother Ling, so he goes to play with Brother Ling."
."
After Li Shuyu was dealt with, the master's wife still had a look of reluctance on her face. She pursed her lips in anger and stopped talking.
At night, Mrs. Li sat on the bed, looked at the man beside the pillow, and whispered softly, "Master, why didn't you respond when Yun'er asked you today? Don't you want Yun'er to stay in the house?"
Li Chengyou rolled his eyes at her and asked, "What do you want to say for your husband? Is it possible to stop him from moving out?"
Juewei paused for a moment and said angrily, "You don't even think about it yourself. Now that Yun'er has left school, he naturally has his own ideas and opinions. How can my husband be the master of his own affairs?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Li looked a little disappointed, sighed softly, and said with regret, "But don't you also like Yun'er to stay in the house? Our family only has one girl, Shuyu, so Yun'er is here and it's very lively.
Some, if I move out in a while, I’m afraid I will have to return to the peace of the past.”
From this, it is easy to see that Mrs. Li expresses her reluctance to leave Ling Yun both inside and outside her words. It seems that her words to persuade him to stay are not just a show, but come from her heart.
Li Chengyou did not respond to Mrs. Li's words. Instead, he closed his eyes and rested, as if he did not want to discuss this topic with her.
Seeing that the person next to her was turning a blind eye, Mrs. Li became depressed and whispered, "People often say that a disciple is half an apprentice. In the past, people always came to ask you to take on a disciple, but you refused. Now you finally have such an outstanding apprentice."
Disciple, I don’t believe you don’t feel it’s a pity!”
The chatter kept ringing in his ears, and Li Chengyou felt a little annoyed. He opened his eyes, glared at her, and said angrily, "Okay, this matter is a foregone conclusion, no need to say anything more!"
Seeing that Li Chengyou's expression was a little angry, Mrs. Li not only did not shut up, but went even further and complained, "Humph! I know how to keep silent. Fortunately, you are still a minister of the imperial court. Nowadays, when things happen, it is useless."
After hearing the news that Ling Yun was moving out, Li Chengyou felt upset. He just didn't want to say more words to avoid unnecessary troubles. He thought the person next to him was just complaining to express his reluctance.
Unexpectedly, the person next to him became more and more excited as he talked, and in the end he blamed him for the incident, which gave him a headache.
I closed my eyes and rested my mind, just for meditation, but now the person next to me was aroused, and I couldn't help but said angrily, "You... are just like a woman, you only talk nonsense when things happen, and you don't consider the overall situation at all."
"Since Yun'er has made it clear to us that he wants to move out, it proves that he has already made a decision in his heart. Whether we want it or not, we can't change anything. You are so stubborn and accuse your husband of something wrong. In addition to causing trouble, there are also other things.
What’s the use?”
Although she knew that what she said was reasonable, Mrs. Li just didn't agree with it. She pouted her lips, gave him a fierce look, then covered herself with the quilt and turned her back.
