Chapter 13 Allergic to Women
Although she is not worried about money for the time being, three million taels is not enough for her. It is just enough to solve her urgent need.
"Cherry, please bring me the revenue account books of the three shops in the capital over the past few years. Also, what kind of business do those three shops do?"
"Miss, Zhao Momo asked you to learn to read the account book before, but you refused. Now you are finally interested, huh? Hehe, I will give it all to you when I get back!"
Of those three shops, one sells cloth, one is a bookstore, and the other is a jewelry store."
"Come on, take me to see it!"
I'll buy a maid later. Let's go check out these three shops first. I was just worrying about how to run the business without money and power. Now someone handed me a pillow. The original owner really didn't know how to appreciate the blessing she had. Her mother was very wise and had long-term plans for her... She also had two loyal people around her, Zhao Momo and Xiao Yingtao.
Yunli felt warm in her heart, and at the same time, she was silently thinking that she would let Yingtao and Zhao Momo live a good life in the future!
Yun Li walked around the three shops one by one. How should I put it? These three shops have a very good location. They are all located in the center of the capital's commercial street.
Especially the bookstore and jewelry store, one in the east and the other in the south of the city, with a street running through it, it can be said to be the most prosperous area in Beijing. It is adjacent to the largest restaurant Xiangyunlou and teahouse Yayun Pavilion.
It's a pity that despite the great location, the shop is in such a mess. Well, it's not Zhao Momo and Yingtao's fault. They're lucky to have managed to keep the shop going...
These three shops definitely need to be renovated. Why are they selling books in such a prime location? How much money can you make from books? She thinks the bookstore is still a two-story building, which would be a great place to open a skincare store!
The jewelry in the jewelry shop was old-fashioned and the variety was poor. She planned to use the supplies in the space supermarket to sell some glass products, such as glass ornaments, glass cups, glass tableware, glass crafts, etc.
Because she discovered that glass here is called colored glaze! Colored glaze is priceless, yet hard to come by... Is she still worried about not being able to find glass items on the shelves of her space supermarket? There's no need to overstock! The space even automatically restocks. This stuff is worthless in modern times, but it's a hot commodity here. And the glass products made with modern technology are incredibly exquisite...
She seemed to have seen the endless amount of money waving at her...Haha, she was going to get rich...
Cherry looked at her daughter in confusion, wondering why she was standing there with a silly smile.
"Miss, what are you laughing at?"
Yun Li came back to her senses and said, "Ahem~ It's nothing, I just thought of something!"
In her last cloth shop, she no longer plans to sell cloth, but to sell ready-made clothes and high-end customization! There are countless designs of ancient clothing in the space computer. Any one of them would be magnificent and fashionable. When the time comes, print them out and find a group of showgirls to make a batch of clothes to see the effect.
With a plan in mind, the next step is action. She has not forgotten the purpose of coming out today. She went to the workshop with Yingtao to pick some maids and guards.
There are people from eight to fifty years old in the yafang, all of them are homeless, they are sold here and there, and have no right to freedom.
As she and Cherry walked in, a slightly plump woman with shrewd eyes came up to them. She looked her up and down, then said:
"What kind of slave do you want, miss? I can help you select according to your requirements."
Yun Li also looked her over and pretended to take out a silver ingot from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Men and women between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five, bring them here for me to see!"
The fat woman took the silver and said with a smile: "Miss, wait a moment, I will bring them over!"
In the blink of an eye, the fat woman came over with a large group of people.
"Miss, take your pick. All the slaves between the ages of fifteen and fifty in the slavery are here!"
Yun Li glanced at the crowd roughly. There were about forty people. They were all wearing coarse linen clothes, with shackles on their feet. They were dirty and looked listless.
"What talents or skills do you have? For example, cooking, needlework, pharmacology, bookkeeping, kung fu, etc., you can tell me about it. No matter what skills you have, as long as I can use them, I can provide you with a stable income."
After Yun Li finished speaking, everyone present finally raised their heads slowly, no longer dumbfounded, and their bodies also showed some reaction. Everyone looked at her.
Someone in the crowd asked, "Can you really give us a stable income?"
Yun Li nodded. "Yes, but I don't support idlers. The prerequisite is that you have to be capable! If you are capable, I welcome you!"
Her shop needs to be renovated, and there are other plans in the future. She needs to use people in many places, so she needs to train her own people so that it will be easier to use.
"Miss, I know needlework. I've been learning embroidery since I was a child!"
"Miss, I can cook and make pastries. I used to work as a handyman in the kitchen of the Shangshu Mansion!"
"I know some martial arts..."
"I know some simple medical skills, and I can recognize common medicinal herbs. My father is a doctor, and when I was little, I helped him manage the herbs."
Everyone talked about their own strengths, fearing that Yunli would not want them.
In the end, Yunli picked out more than half of them and took them away, including fifteen maids and fifteen guards.
The last ten were not selected because they had worked in other high-ranking officials’ homes in the capital. For example, she didn’t want the one who worked in the Shangshu Mansion and could make snacks!
Just in case, people's hearts are unpredictable. These people will follow her for a long time and may become her powerful assistants in the future. She doesn't want to bury a bomb around her that will explode at any time, so it is better to nip it in the bud from the beginning.
Yun Li readily paid the fat woman and redeemed all 30 people. It was definitely unrealistic to bring them all back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she took them to the courtyard she bought in the east of the city to settle down.
He then selected four girls of the same age as Cherry and brought them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
…
On the other side of the Yu Palace, Yu Wang Helian Chi's face was flushed, and there were some rashes on his face. He sat at the table with an ugly face and let Doctor Liu take his pulse.
"Your Majesty, did you eat something by mistake?"
Prince Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head: "Since entering the palace today, I haven't eaten or drunk any tea..."
"What about yesterday or the other day, Your Majesty?"
Prince Yu thought for a moment and shook his head again. Besides being summoned by the Emperor today and after that night with that woman, he had been spending the past few days in the palace investigating and dealing with the assassination attempt, as well as searching for that damned woman...
His food was personally taken care of by Wu Guanjia, and the secret guards brought it to him. It had to go through three poison tests, so there would be no problem. Moreover, he always had a light diet, and he had only eaten ordinary food in the past few days.
Doctor Liu asked doubtfully, "Has the prince shown any unusual reactions in the past few days?"
He thought back again, and thought about it again. It was today when he was returning from the palace, passing by the Imperial Garden, he met the Queen and several concubines admiring the flowers, and he did not stop and just left.
It seemed that after meeting the queen, he felt a little uncomfortable and felt like vomiting. At that time, he thought that the smell of rouge and powder on the concubines was unbearable to him. Now it seems that it is not that simple. Did the queen poison him?
But he remembered that he was still some distance away from the Queen and the others, so he just brushed them against his face without saying a word.
His heart sank, and he told Doctor Liu about his reaction.
