The fourth prince is now in charge of the household department, and he is very confident. He won't give it if he says he won't give it, and he is not polite at all. Besides, this must be the intention of Emperor Ming Yan.
She asked, "How many have they done?"
Wu Gang almost cried: "I made 20,000 pairs, and now there are still more than 19,600 left. They are all made of good wood... As long as there are less, the subordinates pay for it out of their own pockets, but there are too many.
When it comes to labor, the wood alone is not a small number. All in all, it amounts to more than 38,000 taels."
Yan Shiyue was really impressed...really.
What do you say to these two people? Don’t you feel bad for selling your land? This kind of gadget is not a necessity. If you make two thousand at first, it will be a lot, but if you make twenty thousand?!
And this wave of operations is really...there are no words to describe it.
They themselves made a lot of money selling "General Knowledge of the Ministry of Commerce". Even if they bear half of it, or go to Emperor Ming Yan to admit their mistake, this is still a way to deal with the problem...
As a result, they pushed 625 and threw the things directly to them. From this point of view, it was a worry-free thing, but they didn't want to think about it. In this way, who would dare to open it for them in Liubu and other places in the future?
The door of convenience? You have blocked the road!
Still too young!
Yan Shiyue raised her forehead and asked, "What does it look like?"
Wu Gang quickly asked his subordinates to bring it up.
Yan Shiyue took a look and saw that the wood was all good and the workmanship of the Gongbu workshop was also good. Although it had no special features, it was exquisite enough.
In terms of wood alone, the cost of a pair is almost two taels of silver. Adding labor, accessories, and the empty tents sold by Qiba, a pair would have to be sold for more than three taels to recoup the cost.
In fact, she understood that Wu Gang might not really have any money, but he really didn't dare to pay for it.
Besides, why should I pay for it? Even if I pay for it, it won’t end well.
The Ministry of Industry is not really helpless. After all, there are a lot of familiar businessmen from the emperor who can be sent... But this matter involves the prince, and the superiors are watching, so they don't dare to do this!
Yan Shiyue asked again how they sold before, and then said: "In this way, you go to Dongshi, choose about three shops, and then you pick two people from your place, you can also do it yourself, just pick it up.
Toward that lively hour, driving the horse
You drive all the way there in a hurry, then you get out of the car in person, go to the store and ask if there are any chess pieces. When others ask, don't explain... In short, you just attract people's attention first, and then you show up in court clothes.
It’s up to you to decide the details.”
"Then in the afternoon, or the next day, or in any case for several days, people in court uniforms will rush over to ask questions. Then you can find someone to spread the word privately, for example, the young master of so-and-so's family is addicted to chess, and was beaten by him.
Dad beat him and restrained him, but at night he was afraid of the cold, so he went to watch quietly, and found that he was still playing chess. He was so angry that he beat him again..."
She raised a finger and said: "Anyway, it's such an interesting and gossipy little joke. This can attract some people."
"In addition, you can also say that there is a nobleman who fell in love with the game of bird chess, and then when the guests came and couldn't play, he walked away on the spot and dismissed him as a country bumpkin..."
She raised another finger and said, "This can attract some people."
She looked at him: "You don't need to spread too many rumors. The wisdom of the masses is infinite. They can make it up themselves. This is called building momentum. It lasts for about six or seven days. It must not exceed ten days, otherwise imitations will come out.
Then you arrange for people to take the bird chess to negotiate with these stores, and it will almost be sold."
Wu Gang didn't understand what she was saying, but he had absolute trust in her, so he nodded and left.
These people were all experts in acting and spreading gossip, and they quickly arranged the arrangements as she said.
Wu Gang performed in person, and together with Yan Chengze, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the performance lasted for three days. He and his colleagues heard the news and asked him: "I heard that Mr. Wu has become obsessed with something recently... bird chess?"
Wu Gang smiled and said nothing.
Of course Emperor Ming Yan also heard the message.
He himself knew the cause and effect. Thinking about the things his son had done made him angry, so he found excuses to scold Concubine Shu Ning and punished her seven or eight times.
Qiba was completely confused.
They were trapped in the harem, and they didn't know what happened in the previous dynasty, so they couldn't relate the punishment to these things. They just felt that their father had a bad temper recently, and he had to punish him even if he made trouble, so they were frightened for a while.
And after such operations by the Ministry of Industry... the curiosity was fully aroused.
People in the East Market are not short of money, so everyone wants to buy it to see what it is.
So many people went to the store to ask, and the store was also looking for it. After the people arranged by the Ministry of Industry came to the door, all the chess pieces were actually sold.
Wu Gang sold it for four and a half, then after accounting, he added a discount and turned the remaining money over to the treasury.
In the meantime, of course, he had to describe the matter. He certainly didn't dare to say anything bad about the prince, so he said that the seventh and eighth princes were smart and dexterous, and made the flying bird chess. Then they were busy with their studies, which delayed sales for a while, and then the Ministry of Industry made a turnover plan.
, consulted the Prime Minister and sold the chess piece...
In short, I just praised Qi Ba and Yan Shiyue.
Upon hearing this, the courtiers knew that Wu Gang had tricked Prince Qiba, but Qiba didn't think so!
Emperor Ming Yan sent someone over with this document, asked Qiba to read it, and asked them what they thought. Qiba also knew that what he did was not honest, so naturally he meant that he had not thought it through carefully and failed to start from the beginning to the end.
, and Mr. Yu Wu was also affected...
They were not crazy about splitting the money, but even the eighth prince felt that if it could be sold so easily, why didn't Yan Shiyue teach him in the first place?
They are not allowed to use the name of the Ministry of Commerce, and they are not taught how to sell... They are both sons and daughters of the father and emperor, but they are not taught, but taught by an outsider! If they had been taught earlier, they would have made the money themselves, and there would be no one in the middle.
Such things!
Because Emperor Ming Yan appointed the crown prince early and the prince stood firm, the seven and eight people did not have a deep understanding of many things. They did not know that precisely because they were the same sons and daughters of the father and emperor, many things were different.
That’s why they “don’t teach”.
As for Wu Gang, he is really grateful to Yan Shiyue.
He dared to say that no other prince would care about this matter.
When he came to beg for help, he didn't have much hope, but if she didn't reach out, he would take the blame. Maybe the boss was trying to find a reason to deal with him because of the rebellious girl?
He thought that he was unlucky.
But she took care of it without any benefit at all, and she didn't care who he was. She just took care of him if she could, and helped if she could.
How could he not be grateful!
Thinking about how such a great relative could be destroyed by his unscrupulous daughter, it made his heart, liver and lungs hurt!
In particular, Yan Shitu married a daughter of the Ye family. The Ye family's mansion was very close to the Wu Mansion. Yan Shitu specially accompanied him when he returned home. The young man was really a talented man, a hundred times better than Liang Chi. He didn't know.
Will Wu Fangzi regret it after seeing her? (To be continued)
