Li Jindou swore that this was the first time he had heard the term "stock" after working in a money shop for more than 40 years.
He looked at Fu Xiaoguan in astonishment, and Li Cai looked at his father in astonishment.
Fu Xiaoguan said, "Wait a minute."
After he left, Li Cai asked, "Dad, what are stocks?"
"Dad doesn't know either!"
Li Jindou pondered for a moment, then whispered, "Father was worried about whether he had offended Master Fu, but now it seems that's not the case. This is a blessing. Now the future and life of the Li family are tied to Master Fu. You must be careful in everything you do in the court. Master Fu is a man of great responsibility, so you must not mess up your job!"
The father and son waited for a while in Qingxin Pavilion. Fu Xiaoguan walked in with a stack of papers and charcoal pencils, followed by his three wives.
Li Jindou and his son hurriedly stood up to greet him, but Fu Xiaoguan just chuckled and said, "There aren't so many rules in my house. You'll be coming here often, so you'll have to change your habits."
Li Jindou naturally agreed, but he only said it verbally. The status of these three ladies were so noble that he dared not overstep the line in the slightest.
Only Li Cai took another look at Fu Xiaoguan and gained a new understanding of him.
A servant came in carrying a whiteboard, and Fu Xiaoguan handed the booklet to Li Jindou, "This is a detailed description of stocks. Take a look at it first, and I'll explain it in detail later.
This is very important. Not only does Mr. Li need to understand it clearly, but you, Li Cai, must also understand it. Because in the future, this thing may be promoted nationwide, and you will be responsible for explaining it when the time comes."
"This subordinate will remember this!"
So the father and son put their heads together and read it carefully. Half an hour later, they had not finished reading it, but the doorman came to report that Her Royal Highness the Princess had arrived!
Fu Xiaoguan was surprised. He and the eldest princess had only met a few times, let alone had any detailed discussions. Why was she here?
Naturally, they could not be neglected, so Fu Xiaoguan took his three wives out without letting Li Jindou and his son avoid them.
Princess Yu Shurong got off the carriage and stood at the gate of the Fu Mansion. She looked up at the huge plaque, and a smile appeared on her face.
I still remember that last year Dong Shulan pestered me to buy this Prince's Mansion, and then Fu Xiaoguan asked His Majesty for this plaque. Now it seems that this Prince's Mansion is worth it, and I'm afraid it will be promoted to a Duke's Mansion.
Not to mention his identity, just based on this kid's ability, he has made outstanding contributions to the Yu Dynasty. No wonder His Majesty and the Queen like him so much. The Queen even gave him the crucial position of Mr. Li, the manager of Baolong Money House.
She had nothing to do today. Firstly, she hadn't talked to Fu Xiaoguan yet. Secondly, she naturally wanted to see what Fu Xiaoguan was doing with the Sitong Money House. Of course, thirdly, she was entrusted by the fifth prince Yu Wendao - Yu Wendao said that he had an emergency and needed to leave the capital temporarily, and he had collected one million taels of silver, which was agreed to be invested in Fu Xiaoguan, so she also needed to come and see whether Yu Wendao's investment was cost-effective.
She walked into the Fu Mansion and looked around the big house. Although she was the one who sold this place, she had never been here before. Now that she saw it, she felt that she had lost money by selling it for 40,000 taels of silver - that girl Dong Shulan was really calculating!
Just as she was looking around, Fu Xiaoguan came to the front yard with his three wives.
"Junior Fu Xiaoguan, greets Auntie!"
Fu Xiaoguan bowed cheerfully, and the eldest princess smiled, covering her mouth with her hands. "You also know that you are the younger generation? I thought you were married, and you should come to the princess's residence to pay your respects to me. I waited and waited, but you didn't come. So do you admit your guilt?"
Fu Xiaoguan was startled and said quickly, "Aunt, please forgive me. This is really my fault. Come, come, please come in. I will make a pot of good tea to make amends for my mistake."
The princess walked inside and said, "If you sincerely want to apologize, why not sell me some of the firearms you equipped the Divine Sword with? His Majesty said they are extremely powerful. If the Yu Dynasty's border troops were equipped with them, I think many lives would be saved. What do you think?"
Yu Wenyun had mentioned this matter before Fu Xiaoguan, and he naturally agreed, because the second generation of the flintlock rifle was already under development, and the technology of the first generation was already mature, so it was natural that this thing would be useful only if it was converted into silver.
So he smiled cheerfully and said, "I'm just a businessman. As long as the price is negotiable, this is of course possible."
He led the princess to Lichenxuan. Xiaoqi brought the tea set and Fu Xiaoguan made a pot of tea. The princess then spoke slowly, "How much silver did you sell that thing for?"
Fu Xiaoguan felt a little guilty, with a sly smile on his face, "How dare I make a random offer in front of Auntie? The firearm costs five hundred taels of silver each. I don't dare to make money from Auntie, so I'll just go with the cost price. How much do you want?"
Yu Wenyun and the other two were shocked. This guy really dared to say that!
The cost of a flintlock rifle is now controlled at around thirty taels of silver, and ten bullets cost roughly one tael of silver. He is killing a pig!
The princess rolled her eyes at Fu Xiaoguan and said calmly, "Your Majesty's plan is to equip the northern border troops first. After all, the Yi Kingdom in the east has been crippled, there's no fighting in the south, and the west is also quite peaceful. So, you should send 100,000 to Xincheng and hand them over to Peng Chengwu."
Fu Xiaoguan poured tea and looked at the princess. Was she trying to get something for nothing?
He laughed. "Aunt, please have some tea. To be honest, I can only produce about a hundred of them a day. It would take three years to produce a hundred thousand. I think I'd better forget it."
The eldest princess did not continue the topic. She picked up the tea and took a sip, thinking that His Majesty and the Queen would naturally come to find you about this matter.
So she asked, "Are you now going to promote Xishan's industry to the other three pilot counties?"
Fu Xiaoguan nodded and said, "We have this plan, but we've only done some rough calculations. Funding is a problem, so we're still trying to figure it out."
"How much difference?"
"If it were just three counties, it would be easy, but next year, His Majesty wants to add ten more counties, so that's the main problem. Shulan roughly calculated that it would cost another six million taels of silver."
The eldest princess was shocked. If that was the case, wouldn't he have to invest tens of millions of taels?
"Aren't you afraid of losing all the landlord's wealth?"
Fu Xiaoguan chuckled, "Aunt, you must have some private money. Invest it in me now, and I guarantee you'll make a killing!"
"So the purpose of Sitong Money House is to raise money?" The eldest princess gave him a meaningful look.
Fu Xiaoguan immediately looked at the eldest princess with new eyes, "Aunt, would you like to know more?"
"nature."
Fu Xiaoguan stood up and said, "Aunt, please follow me!"
