Kan Er didn't know why Mu Yan had the envelope photographed on him.
"Take it to her."
"Why?" Kan Er was confused. The young master thought it was too little? 70%, he had seen the account books.
"Why do you think it is?" Mu Yan hated that iron could not become steel.
"My subordinates don't know."
"Then what do you know!"
Kan Er blinked his eyes and was stunned.
Li Yi couldn't bear to see him like that, so he explained to him: "Does the young master want to use it as capital for Mrs. Huo?"
Ah? Master, is this what you mean? So generous?
When Mu Yan saw him like that, he bared his teeth at him angrily, "Didn't you say she was pitiful? A rich and noble person, if she wants to do what a merchant does, she would rather break a penny and spend it in half!"
Kan Er took the envelope, looked at it, and chuckled: "Master, you are a good person."
"Good guy? I'll just give you to her."
Kan Er shook his head violently: "That won't work. I'm still the young master's son. Life or death will depend on the young master."
Huo Xi met Kan Er that afternoon.
Looking at the banknote he just sent in the envelope, he didn't know why: "Your young master is not satisfied?"
Kan Er waved his hand quickly: "No, no, my young master is very satisfied. He also said that Mrs. Huo, you are a capable person. You can't lay eggs if you keep this money with me, so it is better to leave it to Mrs. Huo to take care of."
"
Huo Xi was stunned: "Leave it to me?"
What does this mean that the Mu family has no managers and no capable people to take care of the general affairs?
"Mrs. Huo knows that with my young master's status, it is not convenient to do anything in the capital. To put it nicely, he is a son of the Hou family, but to put it worse, he is just a proton. Everything is being watched by people, so
Where there is no money, it is just the monthly payment from the family and the salary received from the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Huo Xi glanced at the envelope. Was the wealthy young man from a wealthy family she saw at Songjiang Pier a fake?
Which company provides a monthly allowance so that you can easily give away ten thousand taels to others?
"Then, does your young master have any explanation for these money?"
"No, I said it was up to Miss Huo's arrangement."
Just follow my arrangement? Are you too trusting or just testing? This is more than 16,000 taels. The total purchase and sales of Guangfeng Shui in the whole year on its books are not that much.
Not easy to handle.
But holding out this stack of banknotes in front of you and not taking it is a bit inhumane and pretentious. Maybe it will anger the golden thigh.
Seeing Huo Xi's hesitation, Kan Er spoke again: "My young master also asked me to tell you that the eunuch Guan He will be sent overseas in a few days, and our sea trade is expected to be popular. If Mrs. Huo is willing to participate,
It is absolutely impossible to open a road without money."
Huo Xi tightened the envelope in her hand.
Guan He was about to go on an overseas mission. She had known about this news for a long time. With Guan He going overseas, sea trade was bound to become popular. But as a small family, she couldn't do much.
But that doesn't mean she isn't moved.
Thinking of the continuous rise in the price of glutinous rice, I couldn't help but ask: "Is there any movement from the DPRK and China? Recently, the price of glutinous rice has continued to rise. I asked people to collect some wood, bamboo and other materials, and the prices have also quietly increased.
"
Glutinous rice? It seems that the Dragon Boat Festival hasn’t arrived yet, so the price has increased so early?
Kan Er's head was tilted. He rarely ate glutinous rice, and he didn't even like to eat rice dumplings. He only ate one and a half when the occasion came.
Seeing Huo Xi looking at him with glaring eyes, he slapped his head and came to his senses.
"Yes, there is some commotion in the court. Your Majesty said at the beginning of the year that he would build Beiping City. Some people speculated that he planned to move the capital. Some people said that Beiping City was your original vassal state. Your Majesty cared about the people of the vassal state and only planned to repair it.
One or two.”
Move the capital? Move the capital to Beiping City?
Huo Xi's heart skipped a beat, and a string in his head buzzed and tightened.
This is the Wei Dynasty, why does the capital have to be moved? Is it the dynasty she knows?
Kan Er was very puzzled when he saw Huo Xi suddenly getting excited and spinning around in circles.
Looking at her, she almost crumpled the envelope into a ball. There was more than sixteen thousand taels of silver in it. His monthly salary in his entire life was not that much.
He followed her around in circles, reaching out to grab the envelope.
"Has the construction of Peking City been decided yet?" Huo Xi suddenly stopped.
"Ah? Ah, not yet. All the ministers in the court disagreed and argued endlessly. But my young master said that the ministers cannot resist His Majesty."
Then he came closer and said, "Your Majesty, you keep your word and say you are discussing with the ministers, but it is just a formality."
So, are we really going to build Beiping City?
Huo Xi's heart beat faster and faster, and he calmed down after half a cup of tea.
Holding up the envelope in his hand: "Then I will accept these banknotes, and they will be regarded as your young master's investment in Guangfeng Water. I originally intended to find a gold... find a powerful family, and give him shares, please
Protected. If your young master is willing, I will give him 20% of the dry shares of Guangfeng Water, and the money will be treated as a shareholding for him."
"Buy shares?"
"Yes, he doesn't need to do anything. If Guang Fengshui encounters any difficulties in Beijing, ask him to help solve the problem and coordinate. I won't bother him anytime. I will show him the account book at the end of each year.
, give him 20% of the profit."
Kan Er was stunned when he heard this: "Well, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to report it back to my young master and listen to his wishes."
"It should."
After talking for a while, Kan Er was about to leave, but Huo Xi stopped him again.
After hesitating for a long time, he said: "Can you ask your young master to help me find some history books? History books about the previous dynasty and this dynasty, which are rare and not sold in foreign academies."
Kan Er nodded: "Okay, what's the problem? If my family doesn't have it, let my young master borrow it for you and his classmates."
After seeing off Kan Er, Huo Xi put away the banknote and ran to the bookstore with the money in her pocket.
She heard that eunuch Ouchi was going to lead a mission overseas, but she had not yet reacted. The sudden news that the city of Beiping was going to be built, and some people said that the capital was to be moved, shocked her awake.
Is this the Wei Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty she knows?
I bought some history books from the bookstore. I didn't go back to the boat that day. I went back to Qionghua Lane and locked myself in the room to read the history books.
When Mu Yan heard about her reaction, he was also a little surprised.
The little liar didn't want to think about how to get involved in the maritime trade and make a little money by picking up missing pieces, but he started to care about the affairs of the DPRK.
Why is she so excited about building Beiping City?
Wasn't her biological father transferred back to Beijing?
Doesn't she know?
"Last time I asked you to tell her about the excitement in the city, but you didn't tell her?"
"The young master is talking about the excitement when the Marquis of Xincheng returns to the capital? I told you."
Mu Yan frowned: "Then why does she care about Your Majesty's construction of Beiping City? Can you make money from it?"
Kan Er was stunned and clapped his hands violently: "Of course it can! Mrs. Huo also asked me why the price of glutinous rice continues to rise."
"Sticky rice?"
Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, he twitched the corners of his mouth.
But if you can make money, you can also pick up the leaks, right?
If the price of glutinous rice goes up, other building materials will naturally go up as well. If she is quick to stock up on some, she can also earn a lot of money from it.
Li Yi also smiled: "If we didn't know the inside story, we would really think that Miss Huo is a descendant trained by those merchants."
Mu Yan also had a smile on his face and told Kan Er: "Go back to her tomorrow and tell her that I will agree to the job. It will be 20% according to her wishes. If she needs anything, just send someone to find me."
After saying that, he got up and went to look for history books for her.
