Li Yuhua didn't expect that a lot of expenses would increase as soon as she let go. She closed the account book and said, "The accountant reconciled everything correctly, so I settled the money with the store. It's the twelfth lunar month now, and every store will come to settle the account."
Yunyan took the sign and went out to spread the message.
Li Yuhua tapped the hand stove in his hand gently with his fingertips. He originally thought that the ten thousand silver could last until next spring, but now it seems that it can last until the first month. Not all the money was used by Mu An, Li Yuhua also made it.
The pearl jade cream is smelly and beautiful. It looks inconspicuous and costs a lot of money. Li Yuhua spends hundreds of taels of pearls alone a month. The other couple don't have any luxury enjoyment, just for daily household expenses, food, clothing, housing and transportation.
expenses.
Moreover, this is still based on the fact that the third prince's residence does not have much communication. For example, in a few days, the prince of Lu Gong's mansion will get married. Since Mu Anzhi and Lu Gong's mansion are not on good terms, there is no need to participate in this event. Of course, there is no need to prepare gifts.
One less expense.
Even though we spend a lot, we can't cut down on expenses. There's nothing we shouldn't spend on.
During the Four Seasons Clothes Festival in the mansion, winter charcoal and summer ice are given as rewards. This is available in every mansion. If you don't have it in your mansion, the people below will complain in their hearts without saying anything, and they can't feed people. Chang Shisi's food and clothing supply is even more
Indispensable, even if Mu Anzhi went out to reward people with coat tickets, this was also privately approved by Li Yuhua. This alone cost thousands of silver.
Li Yuhua felt distressed just thinking about it, but when Mu Anzhi was working outside, rewards were indispensable. He couldn't just give money carelessly. Rewarding him with clothes, shoes and hats was both considerate and practical.
But the money is flowing out loudly, so we have to quickly think of a way to make money.
Li Yuhua was thinking of building a weaving workshop, but he couldn't rush it. Firstly, his partner, Uncle Jiu, had gone to northern Xinjiang and had not returned yet. Secondly, in order to build this weaving workshop, it needed someone who knew how to weave.
Machine craftsmen and women who can weave, both of which must be obtained from her hometown. Li Yuhua thought that she would discuss it after Uncle Jiu returned to the imperial capital. She had to first consider where to build a weaving workshop.
Li Yuhua called Mei Dianbu over and asked Mei Dianbu, "Are there any cheap houses in the imperial capital?"
Mei Dianbo thought for a while, "In terms of cheapness, the area in the northeast corner of the imperial capital is the cheapest. The terrain there is low, and it rains every year like a flood. The cheapness of the houses is also relative. Three old houses cost 700
two."
Li Yuhua was shocked, "It's so expensive."
Mei Dianbo smiled bitterly, "Xiaguan also wanted to buy a house when he first arrived in the imperial capital. He was frightened when he saw the price. Xiaguan said that three rooms of the old house at seven hundred taels was the price last year, and it will definitely be another one this year.
It’s gone up. It’s cheaper in the outer cities, and the cheapest three-bedroom house is 300 taels.”
"You, a rich man, don't even own any property in the imperial capital?"
Mei Dianbo replied with an embarrassed look, "My father said that the emperor had a house where he could find a wife, so he used his old capital to buy me a few houses. Even though the house was already there, the wife was not found yet."
"Looking at your appearance and your wealth, it shouldn't be difficult to find a bride, right?"
"No, no, no. There are too many wedding gifts in the imperial capital. I want to save money by going back to my hometown to get married." Mei Dianbo's face was full of sorrow when he talked about the marriage, and he volunteered, "If I see a good girl who is suitable for my subordinate, I will give it to you."
If the official holds a red thread, the official will be grateful to the empress for the rest of his life."
"Okay, I think you are too demanding to propose marriage." Li Yuhua said, "The weather has been good these days. Come with me to Zhuangzi tomorrow to have a look."
"Yes. I will ask them to prepare the carriages and horses for leaving the city tomorrow."
"Go ahead."
Li Yuhua dismissed Mei Dianbook and left. Grandma Sun also turned around and told Yun Yan to prepare things for going out tomorrow. Grandma Sun said, "My Lady, you can send your guards to Zhuangzi today and ask them to prepare some things for my Lady to rest in advance."
room."
Li Yuhua waved his hand, "No, let's go and see what Zhuangzi looks like now."
Every time Du Changshi saw the Mei Dian book and the way he fawned over the prince and his wife, it was a bit annoying. As he and Hua Changshi walked to Chang Shisi's room, he said, "There is no ministerial decency at all."
Hua Changshi sat squinting and stroking his long beard, "Is this some important mission the empress has given Mei Dianbu?"
"What important things a woman can do in a family is to take care of her husband and raise her children, manage her family, and go out to have fun." Du Changshi continued to express his stupid views on women.
Hua Changshi said with a smile, "Brother Du, don't underestimate this internal affairs. Since we came to the mansion to assist His Highness, I remember that there was some noise in the mansion for the past five or six days. Now the male and female servants in the mansion have arrived at our house.
Shi Si, if everything is not neat and tidy, it is all managed by the empress. If you want to replace it with someone who is incompetent, he will be in a hurry all day long. Not to mention us, even His Highness will not be interested in official duties. Your Highness has such a
A good wife is truly a blessing to you and me."
Du Changshi whispered, "It would be better if the empress got pregnant as soon as possible and gave birth to a son for His Highness."
Hua Changshi nodded imperceptibly, "Don't worry, Your Highness and Madam are young, it will happen sooner or later."
At that moment, Mei Dianbo was coming over in a hurry. When he saw the two adults, he quickly saluted. Hua Changshi smiled, "Why are you so busy? I don't think you have any time."
"Your Majesty told me to go to the village to have a look tomorrow. I'll prepare the carriages and horses first so that I won't delay your Majesty's trip tomorrow," Mei Dian said.
"Then go and do your work." Hua Changshi just asked.
Du Changshi looked at Hua Changshi strangely, but Hua Changshi smiled and said nothing.
Before Hua Changshi came home, he specifically asked to see Mu Anzhi. Mu Anzhi had just changed into a home-made cotton robe and heard that Hua Changshi wanted to see him. Mu Anzhi wondered what the reason for the appointment was, so he summoned Hua Changshi in the study.
Hua Changshi was wearing a leather robe newly cut by Qianzhenfang this winter, and a green fox fur coat on his body. Compared with his previous leisurely and elegant scholarly style, Hua Changshi said, "Just now, I heard that Mei Dianbo said that the empress will be here tomorrow."
We have to go to Zhuangzi, and now that the Yamen is not busy, Your Highness might as well go with the Queen."
"The yamen has some things to take care of even if it's not busy," Mu An said.
Hua Changshi smiled eloquently, "Leave these trivial matters to me and Du Changshi. Your Highness, since the wedding, the empress has been busy with the general affairs of the palace. Now that the empress is leaving the city, how can your highness not accompany her. This
When you are not busy, it would be good for Your Highness to spend more time with your Majesty to relax and listen to music."
"Why is this?" Mu Anzhi has always been diligent. Since he entered school, he has started at five o'clock every day. Even during the holidays, he will study hard at night and never take a day off. Therefore, this habit extends to working as an errand.
, he is a very diligent and diligent person.
"Your Highness, there is a saying that there is a certain amount of relaxation. Another saying is that it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. This is actually the same truth." Hua Changshi bowed and said, "Your Highness, I take my leave."
Before Mu Anzhi could figure out what it meant, Hua Changshi left gracefully. Looking from a distance, the old guy covered in green fox fur and covered with clouds and mountains looked more and more like an old fox.
Mu Anzhi thought about it for a while, but still didn't understand the meaning, so he went back to the house to talk to Li Yuhua. He didn't know about Li Yuhua going to Zhuangzi tomorrow, but Hua Changshi knew about it.
"I was just about to tell you that Hua Changshi came here." Li Yuhua said, "I want to build a weaving workshop next spring. I originally thought I would build the workshop in the city because it is close to the city. When I asked about the housing prices in the city, I was shocked.
Wow, even renting a house is not cheap. In that case, why not put the workshop outside the city? Our Zhuangzi is in the suburbs and there are houses on Zhuangzi. I want to go and have a look tomorrow. If it is cheaper, I can use the house on Zhuangzi as a workshop.
, and also save money on building a workshop." Li Yuhua discussed his plan with Mu Anzhi.
Mu Anzhi brought tea and said, "Don't intervene personally then, let your servants run the business to avoid causing gossip."
"Don't worry, there's no gossip about this. It's not my business alone. I'm asking the emperor's grandmother to become a shareholder."
Mu Anzhi didn't choke, "You don't want the Imperial Grandmother to provide money, do you?"
"Of course we will get money, otherwise what is it called a partnership?" Li Yuhua said, "You think I cheated the emperor's grandmother. I wanted the emperor's grandmother to always love us, so I asked the emperor's grandmother to become a shareholder. I tell you, you go out and inquire about what is going on now.
The price of our wood-scented cloth is such that no one can wait in line, and even those with money can't buy first-class wood-scented cloth. It has always been limited by insufficient scale, so it has a price but no market. This time, a large workshop is being built in the imperial capital.
"
"When will you go to Zhuangzi?"
"The weather has been very good these two days. I'll go tomorrow."
Mu Anzhi thought that it was true that the Criminal Department was not busy recently, and Li Yuhua was going out of the city, so it was not good for her to go alone. Although the maids and guards were required to accompany them, they were all servants, so how could they be the same? Mu Anzhi said, "I will go with you."
"
"Aren't you going to be on duty?"
"Other yamen are busy during the New Year, but the Criminal Department is busy before autumn, but it is empty at the end of the year."
Li Yuhua was naturally happy to go with Mu Anzhi. Li Yuhua also talked about the expensive houses in the imperial capital. Mu An said, "There are many people in the imperial capital and the houses are limited, so it is naturally expensive. The imperial government built public houses to rent them to officials at low prices."
.Hua Changshi still lives in the imperial palace."
"Hua Changshi can't even afford a house?"
"Chief Minister Cheng of the Ministry of Justice all rents houses."
"I asked why there was no house in my dowry. It turned out to be because the houses in the imperial capital were too expensive."
"A small house with a slightly attractive appearance will cost several thousand silver. If a married woman can get a house as a dowry, she must be a wealthy family." Mu An said, "Your natal family is just a face-saving family, how can they give you a dowry?
house."
Mu Anzhi was always smart. If he went out to see Zhuangzi in the winter, it must be because the government did not have enough money. Mu Anzhi asked, "Is it because the money is not enough?"
"It's enough for now. I have prepared all the annual gifts in the palace in advance. There are still rewards in the palace during the New Year. It will be no problem until the first month of next year. After receiving the spring salary, there will be a harvest in the village in the summer. It won't be a problem in a short time.
, what I am thinking about is that in the future, as we socialize more, the expenses will naturally increase, and we only have a few taels of silver for farming. It is faster to make money by doing business. I have long thought about opening a weaving workshop, and we have this on hand.
"Loose." Li Yuhua and Mu Anzhi calculated the expenses in the mansion, "Our mansion is like this, I don't think the second brother and the second sister-in-law can be relaxed and relaxed."
Mu Anzhi said, "Second brother is in the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry is full of fat employees. I heard that the steward of the second brother's house went out to build a brick and stone stall. Do you think the second brother is good or not?"
Li Yuhua clicked his tongue and said, "Seeing that the second prince doesn't like to talk much, he is really interested in making money."
"Second brother has been like that for a long time. He knows everything by heart."
"I don't think he is smart. There is no such thing. He is in charge of the engineering department, and he just builds a shop made of bricks and stones. Who can't tell at a glance that he is trying to make money." Li Yuhua curled his lips with disdain, "What a short-sighted person, what a reputation.
Not worth more than money. His Highness is getting money for masonry construction. What he is thinking about now is firstly, it can save money for the Ministry of Works, and secondly, he can make profits from his shop. As we go and see, there are more people who want to benefit from him.
, if one day someone tampered with the bricks and stones, it would be fine if nothing happened, but it would be a big deal. Don’t make money in the Ministry of Punishment, not even a penny. We have an honest way to make money, and we must not ruin our reputation."
Mu Anzhi listened to Li Yuhua's instructions and couldn't help but smile, "Look at the people under me, which one is good at cashiering? The famous Iron-faced Doctor among Zheng, Hua Changshi is as elegant as a crane, Du Changshi's family
Not short of money.”
"That's good."
Mu Anzhi joked, "You do business all the time, but you don't care about money."
"You can't live without money, but if you put money first in everything, you can't achieve great things. I want to use money, but I don't want money to use me." Li Yuhua talked about business in a straightforward manner. Mu Anzhi looked at her proud look and said,
I couldn't help but smile.
