The reason why he asked Wang Mengyu to hold an auction on the first floor was actually to make the name of porcelain public.
Nowadays, porcelain is only circulated among a very small number of upper-class circles. Apart from the imperial court, the other major first-class families.
Apart from this, not many people know about it.
Once this news spreads thoroughly, he will save a lot of trouble in recruiting craftsmen later.
To some extent, this is also a preparation for the work that is about to begin.
King Kang nodded and said, "Anyway, you should know the situation yourself. I have confidence in you."
After drinking a cup of tea and chatting for a while, Zhao Hao stood up and said goodbye. King Kang hurriedly said, "Rou'er, go see this kid off."
"yes!"
Princess Lianrou agreed, and then her beautiful eyes fell on Zhao Hao.
The two of them walked out.
When they got outside, Princess Lianrou said, "My spinning wheel has been modified. I was thinking that after your coming-of-age ceremony, you would come over and help me take a closer look."
"But you will be busy with the porcelain workshop next, even though the porcelain was made by you."
"But to establish a workshop, there must be a lot of things to consider, and I will inevitably suffer in the future."
"Fortunately, it shouldn't be too difficult for you. After all, this isn't your first time building a workshop."
Zhao Hao said softly: "Actually, I just moved my mouth, it didn't take much effort on my part."
Princess Lianrou nodded and said, "I also believe that you can definitely do a good job in the workshop."
"As for me, you don't need to think too much. Although my spinning wheel has been improved once, I still feel that there is room for improvement."
"During this time, I will try to modify it again."
"If I can't succeed on my own, I'll ask you for help."
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded. This sister was completely different from the other women he had come into contact with.
No matter what you say or do, it's always so straightforward.
There was absolutely no shyness or bashfulness of a little girl.
After leaving the palace, Zhao Hao took a carriage home.
As for the craftsmen, careful planning is still needed.
He had just arrived home when Wang Mengyu left the soap workshop and returned to the Wang family.
What he didn't expect was that as soon as he entered the door, the servant immediately told him to go to the main hall.
Wang Mengyu suddenly became confused: "What's going on?"
The old servant said, "I don't know either. It was the master's order. He probably wanted to talk to the second young master about something."
Wang Mengyu frowned slightly. His father took the initiative to find him?
When did Dad remember that he had a son like him?
This is new!
Although the old servant was vague, he could guess what his father wanted him to do.
When he arrived at the main room and stepped in, he saw more than one person sitting in the room.
Sitting in the main seat was my father Wang Yunsong, next to him was my wife, and sitting at the bottom were my second uncle Wang Yunbai and my eldest brother Wang Bozhen.
Below that is his mother.
"Father, mother, second uncle, eldest brother, mother, I just came back from outside and heard that father asked me to come over."
"Father, is there something wrong?"
This kind of ceremony, waiting just for him, had never happened before.
Although he was a little nervous, he was not afraid.
Before Wang Yunsong could speak, his second uncle Wang Yunbai said, "Meng Yu is very busy now and rarely even goes home."
Wang Mengyu's eyes flickered, and then he smiled and said, "Second uncle, I am just busying myself."
Wang Yunbai said yin and yang: "How can you be busy for nothing? My nephew is so capable now. Who in the whole Imperial Capital doesn't know about it?"
"Only our own family members are kept in the dark."
Wang Mengyu could hear the dissatisfaction and sarcasm in his uncle's words, but he didn't care and said, "That's not right. Didn't I tell my family about it?"
"Well, it seems I haven't said that, but it's not a big deal. I'm just doing small business."
"It's better not to mention it."
Upon hearing this, Second Uncle Wang Yunbai's face immediately became long and he was about to stand up to speak, but he was pushed back by Wang Yunsong who was sitting in the main seat.
“Alright, alright!”
As he spoke, Wang Yunsong looked at Wang Mengyu and asked, "Second brother, people outside say that you, Zhao Hao from the Nei Shi family, and that kid from the Zheng family, opened a workshop to do business together."
"Recently, the soap used for washing and brushing one's mouth that has become popular in the Imperial Capital is made in your workshop."
"You three will also build a papermaking workshop together in Zhao Hao's manor."
"You have been working on the expansion of the papermaking workshop recently."
"is that so?"
Wang Yunsong's tone was calm and a little dull, but there was no expression on his face.
It is hard to tell whether he is angry or happy.
Wang Mengyu nodded and said, “Yes, Dad, I’ve been working in a workshop with Zhao Hao and Zheng Zhiqian recently.”
"We previously operated a soap workshop, and at the end of last year, we operated a papermaking workshop. Now the papermaking workshop is being expanded."
Hearing this, before Wang Yunsong could speak, the wife of the first wife, Cui, asked excitedly, "Meng Yu, so you must have made a lot of money, right?"
"Now, your soap has become completely popular in the capital. Countless people want to buy it but cannot."
Wang Mengyu couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard this.
It came as expected.
With a slight smile, he said softly: "It is true that I made some money, but I also invested all the money I earned in the papermaking workshop."
"The papermaking workshop is currently being expanded, and there are still many vacancies."
Cui was immediately shocked and asked, "What? Second Brother, your soap workshop must have made at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of strings of cash."
“Have they all been invested?”
Wang Mengyu nodded and said, "Yes, mother, we have invested everything, and this is not enough!"
"Besides, Zheng Zhiqian and I only got a small share, the majority came from Zhao Hao."
The second uncle Wang Yunbai at the side immediately said in a deep voice: "That's tens of thousands of strings of money, and you squandered it so easily?"
"Who gave you permission to do this?"
"Before you make a decision, don't you know to come back and ask your family if they agree?"
Wang Mengyu was startled at first, then he chuckled and said, "Second Uncle, what are you saying? Can't I decide how to spend the money I earn myself?"
"seem……"
"That doesn't make sense, does it?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yunbai suddenly stood up from his chair and shouted in a serious tone: "How dare you! What's your attitude?"
"Is that how you talk to your uncle? You have absolutely no manners!"
"It's true that you earned the money, but aren't you from the Wang family?"
"The money you earn belongs to your family. Shouldn't you let them know if you want to spend it?"
Wang Mengyu snorted and laughed, no longer paying attention to his second uncle who was like a mad dog, and turned to look at his father Wang Yunsong who was sitting in the main seat.
"father?"
"Is that what you mean?"
