Chapter 766: The Vanished Businessman from Fanbang
Of course the Cui family will lose money.
They lost their minds and spent a lot of jewelry and silver in exchange for a bunch of worthless junk. Who would they lose if they didn't lose?
But everyone knows that this cannot be blamed on the Cui family. After all, colored glaze has been an extremely precious treasure since ancient times, which is not only reflected in its value but also in its significance.
Crystal clear, with flowing brilliance, it is very eye-catching. It is also a treasure of Buddhism, symbolizing blessing and luck. Ordinary people will never see it in their lifetime. Who would have thought that this wonderful treasure would become a treasure overnight?
The cabbage on the roadside and the glass jewelry that were worth three thousand taels of silver not long ago can only be used as a shopping mall for clothes. Buy one and get two free, one in the sky and one on the ground. No matter how smart a person is, no matter how smart you are, you can't think of it. No wonder the Cui family will suffer a loss.
Things are rare and expensive. It’s all because of too much colored glaze appearing in Kyoto in a short period of time. The price of colored glaze is almost falling every day. Crystal clear and colorful things are beautiful, but crystal clear and colorful things are beautiful.
, it’s all over Kyoto, who else would be curious about it?
Now all the dignitaries in Kyoto were dumbfounded.
A few months ago, the glassware they had spent thousands of taels of silver on had become worthless in the blink of an eye. This made everyone feel uncomfortable.
This time, they were severely harmed by the Wang family.
The monks were equally dumbfounded.
Other people's colored glaze jewelry items cost at most a thousand taels, but none of their colored glaze Buddha statues cost less than ten thousand taels...
There are countless people who secretly complain about the royal family and the Wang family, but they dare not show it openly.
After all, any one of the two families is so powerful that even the powerful cannot afford to offend them.
However, when they heard that the head of the Wang family smashed hundreds of pieces of glassware into pieces in front of everyone, the complaints in their hearts became much less intense and turned into ridicule and gloating.
The Wang family actually still has so many glazed wares. They must be thinking about making a few more windfalls in the future. Otherwise, why would they hold a glazed appreciation party? Now that glazed ware is worthless, they are certainly losing money, but compared with the losses of the Wang family, it is nothing.
A drop in the bucket, nothing.
People are always like this. When they are unlucky, they will feel better knowing that others are more unlucky than themselves.
Of course, they were not all losses. The glass sold to them by the royal family and the Wang family was all for the purpose of raising donations. Everyone was registered, and a large part of it was returned to the national treasury. At least it left a foundation with His Majesty, which can prove that they
He has also done his best for the country, and not all his money has been wasted.
The Cui family is different.
According to careful calculations, the Cui family's losses this time are at least more than four million taels. What is four million taels? It is almost as much as one-third of Jingguo's annual tax revenue.
This number, no matter how deep the Cui family's background is, is a painful blow to them, so painful that it breaks their muscles and bones, shakes their foundation, and cannot be recovered without years of rest.
To this day, everyone understands.
The Wang family, the Cui family, the big and small dignitaries in Kyoto, and even the royal family were all fooled by those foreign merchants.
Since Liuli became a commodity on the street, those foreign merchants disappeared without a trace. They suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, taking away a large amount of silver, completely ignoring some people in Kyoto. For a long time, they only
I can live by tightening my belt.
"Damn foreign merchants!" So much so that this sentence has become a classic that people in Kyoto often talk about.
Where exactly those foreign merchants went remains an unsolved mystery even many years later.
…
…
"Hehe, I want...a house, so I can bring my mother over!"
"I agreed that my house... will be opposite to yours..."
"I have to go back, pick up Xiaolian... and get married..."
Li Yi looked at the laughing figures in front of him, waved his hands, and said, "Go to Mr. Lu for these matters yourself, and he will arrange them for you."
As long as they earn enough points, they can exchange for what they need, whether it is money, a house, or even advice from top experts, all points are clearly marked. This is the rule of the Liu League. Li Yicong
From the beginning, there was no intention to tie them up with affection or any imaginary things. Real benefits are the strongest bond to maintain the relationship.
Of course, everything is not so unkind. Miss Liu Er doesn't understand this, but Lu Luo knows how to win people's hearts to the maximum extent.
When they were leaving, Li Yi reminded them uneasily: "Remember not to talk to people like that when you go out. You will be beaten to death. Remember to tell them too."
Fanbang merchants are now in Kyoto, and everyone is shouting to beat them up. If they are discovered, it will definitely not be as simple as beating them up.
"Sorry, Xi, I'm used to it." A man touched his head in embarrassment before leaving with a few others.
In fact, they don't need to report to Li Yi specifically about Liuli, but these people are different. They are the ones in contact with Qi State. The news that Liuli is worthless will soon spread to Qi State, and some arrangements there will be made.
They also need to implement it in the past.
"Uncle, is it too...too much for us to make money like this?" Lao Fang scratched his head, but in the end he couldn't form a complete sentence.
Two years ago, he was still struggling for a few pennies. Just a short time later, the money he handled was counted in millions. Looking back, he always felt uneasy in his heart.
"It's a bit too much." Li Yi nodded. Although this method of making money is fast, it looks similar to cheating. If you cheat too many people, you will be punished.
However, the old emperor was personally involved in this matter. Without his decision, there would be no glass charity sale. Even if there was retribution, the royal family and the Wang family would have much bigger names than the Li family...
"The soup is ready, I'll go take a look." Li Yi walked towards the kitchen and waved to him, "Go and do your work. When you pass by Yangliu Lane, help me bring back some sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
Their current location is already in the new house in Kyoto.
It's not far from the Institute of Mathematical Sciences and the Royal Palace. It has a quiet environment and is some distance away from the noisy market. Behind the house is a slope. The slope is not big, but standing on the top of the slope, you can overlook the surrounding scenery, which is the most conspicuous.
The most important thing is the sparkling artificial lake of the college. At dusk, holding Ruyi’s hand and going for a walk there should feel pretty good...
What he has to do every day now is probably to get up early, walk through a few streets to buy some fresh vegetables before the morning market has dispersed, and sometimes he will carry a fresh fish and stop at Yangliu on the way.
We stopped in the street to rest for a while, and when the sun rose to 45 degrees, we went home to prepare dinner.
All the procedures do not require servants to handle it. At most, the little maid helps him choose vegetables, light the fire and so on. At this time, Yongning will move a small bench to sit down and watch. The tsundere Loli wants to help but always fails.
It's making trouble...
This kind of life is very good.
Li Yi filled a bowl of soup and took a sip. The taste was not strong yet, so he decided to simmer it for a while. He only took a sip of the soup but was not willing to waste it. He picked it up and put it on the stone table outside. He walked behind and prepared to ask Xiao Huan to come out to drink.
Lose.
The soup is for Ruyi to induce pregnancy and nourish the body, but ordinary women can also benefit from drinking it, such as beautification, breast enlargement and lactation. Young maids should drink more of it. This is a secret recipe not passed down by the old monk Tanyin. It is said to be for abortion.
Li Yi found a similar recipe in the book, but the described effects were a few more...
Xiao Huan was not found, maybe he went somewhere to play with Tsundere Loli and others. When Li Yi came back, he saw someone sitting at the stone table, and the bowl of soup had reached the bottom.
"This soup tastes pretty good."
"It's been a long time and it's very good for your health." Li Yi looked at the middle-aged man sitting there and said with a smile, "If you like it, drink more."
