Whether you are doing business or doing something extra, you can't just leave like that.
After Gu Nanxi, Ma Nantian and Lord Chen had a talk, they temporarily focused their attention on other things.
In order to transport corn and potatoes smoothly from Jiangnan to Yunzhou, Su Yunting told the public that he was preparing for the wedding.
Shuyao cooperated with Su Yunting and actually followed him like this.
When Gu Nanxi thought about how Su Yunting had deceived the little girl, she felt like a thief and didn't know how to explain to her in-laws.
The noble girl whom they had painstakingly raised for more than ten years, first ran away from Kyoto to Jiangnan, and then from Jiangnan to Yunzhou. As a parent, I wonder what she was thinking!
Gu Nanxi called out to Lumei: "Tell me how much wealth I have left."
Lu Mei walked to a cabinet and took out the key hanging around her neck: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
Gu Nanxi lay crookedly on the kang with her hair loose. After many days of recuperation, her face looked rosy and pale.
"I'm afraid my relationship with them can only maintain a face-saving relationship. With Yun Ting and Shu Yao leaving, I'm afraid the shipyard will be taken away by someone else."
I once gave a portion of the shipyard to Shuyao as a betrothal gift.
If the shipyard is gone, isn’t that equivalent to the loss of the betrothal gift?
Besides, Su Yunting and Shuyao announced on their way here that what they brought was Shuyao's dowry.
Whether it is a dowry or not, we all know it ourselves.
When the wedding comes, won't Shuyao be laughed at if she can't produce a dowry?
You can't be so shameless. The girl is loyal and righteous, and as her mother-in-law, I have to support her.
Lu Mei held out a large box. "This is part of the land deeds and deeds. We have shops in every town. There are two of our branches in the commercial street of Huaishuo Town. As for the silver, it was borrowed by the young lady. She wants to open a bank."
The glass business progressed quickly. After Su Yunyan found a sales channel for the glass products, she kept an eye on it for several months and was able to slowly free up her time.
She was also a person who could not sit still. In the process of dealing with merchants, she heard many people complain that the Jiaozi in the south was depreciating too quickly and no one was willing to use Jiaozi.
I want to exchange it for silver notes, but there is no money house in Yunzhou.
After all, the journey is long, and it is very inconvenient to carry silver and goods on the road.
Su Yunyan thought that her mother was unwilling to allow the money house to open in Yunzhou because she was afraid that it would affect the monetary policy.
This silver note is actually a credit guarantee. If you can exchange the silver note for copper coins at a bank, it is useful. Otherwise, it is just a piece of waste paper.
If these money houses were allowed to flourish throughout Yunzhou, once the north and south were completely at odds, the money houses in the south would be completely abolished.
Well, there is no need to think about it, the silver notes that flowed into Yunzhou cannot be exchanged for copper coins!
Isn't this a disguised way of depriving Yunzhou of its wealth?
But without silver bills and Jiaozi, it is indeed a troublesome matter for merchants, and it must be solved! Su Yunyan thought about it and wanted to open a bank in the name of Yunzhou officials.
With official endorsement, it is easy to open a money house.
Gu Nanxi was slightly stunned, and then she remembered this matter. At that time, the little girl also wrote a thick plan book, which looked quite decent.
Opening a money house definitely requires capital, so Su Yunyan used her own money. It is said that Wen Yu and Huang Jincheng were also plundered by her, and none of the handsome men in Konghe Mansion escaped.
When this was mentioned, Lu Mei burst out laughing: "On weekdays, the handsome men who would like to dress up exquisitely from hair to toes have not bought new clothes for several months. They even dare not choose the most expensive powder for their faces."
Gu Nanxi raised an eyebrow: "How do you know so much?"
Lu Mei looked at Gu Nan Xile and said, "You have been back for such a long time, but I haven't seen them come to visit, so I asked Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu said that they don't like to come to visit because they don't like to look good and are afraid of offending you. Mr. Wen, the most handsome man, is also hiding in the government office."
Gu Nanxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Loving beauty is not a girl's nature, but a human's nature. Who said that men don't like to be pretty?
"How mischievous."
Lu Mei brought another stack of books and cried out in injustice with a smile: "People say beauty is a feast to the eyes, am I not doing this so that you, my master, can eat more?"
What could Gu Nanxi say? She could only say that Su Yunyan's ability to deceive people had improved.
well.
Gu Nanxi felt guilty towards this girl. He really hadn't taken care of her for several years. Instead, she worked hard for him and Yunzhou.
In the past, I could say that I had accompanied her in her growth and provided her with emotional value. But since I came to Yunzhou, I had been on many expeditions and had spent less time with her.
Gu Nanxi divided the deeds in the box into three parts, but felt that some were not enough. He then opened the private treasury account book, and his frown could almost pinch a fly to death.
"Why is my personal property so small?"
Lumei looked at the three piles of deeds and knew that they were for the three children. She sighed and said, "That's a lot! It costs money to run a nursing home, a nursery, and a medical school. This is because we don't have any personal connections. Otherwise, I'm afraid there wouldn't be even this much left."
Who can be blamed?
It is hard to be poor. The military workshop has now developed something famous. Before, money flowed into this bottomless pit like water.
Even if we have firearms and cannons now, we still have to pay for the military workshop! After all, we can't sell firearms and cannons to others, right?
Lumei felt that it must be that Gu Nanxi did not offer sacrifices seriously during the New Year: "Master, you should worship the God of Wealth more this year. You are like a funnel, and all the money you get will be spent. Alas, our young lady is so capable, making money is like sweeping fallen leaves with a broom. Baida Express, Baiwei Restaurant, Liuli, they are all hens that lay golden eggs, but in the end, they can't produce much cash."
Where did the money go?
All of it was spent on Gu Nanxi, the mother.
Gu Nanxi's face was red. It seemed that as a mother, she had to rely on her daughter for support.
Thinking of this, Gu Nanxi took out half of the deeds from the two piles and placed them on the third pile.
It is only natural for a daughter to support her mother. Who made her suffer this fate?
But there is absolutely no reason for a younger sister to earn money to help her two older brothers find wives!
Gu Nanxi looked at the two thin deeds and felt extremely embarrassed.
This stuff is really not worth showing off!
They had to prepare betrothal gifts and dowry for Shuyao, and Shuyao grew up in Kyoto, where lavish dowries were popular.
[Ziyou had five daughters, and his debts were piled up like a mountain] This is not an exaggeration.
There was once a minister who had five daughters. He cried and complained that robbers would not steal from his house knowing that he had five daughters.
Many members of the royal family would also worry about their daughters’ dowries. The younger brother of Emperor Shenzong of Zhou once had to borrow money from the ministers in the court because he could not raise enough dowry for his daughter.
Gu Nanxi has two daughters to marry, isn't that a worry? (End of this chapter)
