Chapter 352, Xiangyang Liulichang
"I've already chosen the address for Liulichang. It's just outside the city of Ningmen Prefecture. If there's any profit in the future, I'll give 50% to you and your three brothers."
Xiao Yeyang continued.
"Fifty percent?" Daohua looked surprised. "Isn't that too much?"
Xiao Yeyang asked with a smile: "Why, do you think the money is too much?"
Daohua: "Of course I don't mind the extra money, but we didn't do anything, and we're only giving you 50% of the profits. Isn't that taking advantage of you?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "If it weren't for the recipe you gave me, I wouldn't have earned this much money. How about this, you take 20%, and your three brothers each take 10%?"
Seeing that Xiao Yeyang really wanted to give them a share, Daohua was no longer polite and nodded with a smile: "Okay, okay, Xiao Yeyang, you have to work hard and let me live a life of lying down and counting money."
Seeing her money-obsessed look, Xiao Yeyang laughed out loud, and even Gu Jian and Grandma Gu smiled and shook their heads.
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "I've taken 20% of your profit, so it's not good for me to do nothing. If you need any help in the future, remember to come to me."
Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Don't tell me, I really do have something I need your help with."
Daohua opened her eyes wide: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yeyang: "I heard from Wenxiu that you keep very detailed accounts. Can you help me with it tomorrow?"
Daohua waved her hand. "It's no big deal. I'll help you after dinner. By the way, when will your Liulichang start construction, and what will it be called?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and asked, "What do you think of Yiyang Liulichang?"
"Yi Yang?" Dao Hua laughed out loud: "You might as well call Yi Yangzi Liulichang."
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "You think it's not good?"
Daohua pondered for a moment and said, "That sounds strange. You could call it Sun Liulichang or Xiangyang Liulichang. It's much better than Yiyang Liulichang, right?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Granny Gu and Gu Jian: "What do Granny and Master Gu think?"
Gu Jian glanced at Xiao Yeyang and snorted in his heart.
Yi Yang, this is a combination of the little apprentice's name and his name.
The evil intentions are almost exposed!
After taking a look at his little disciple who was still laughing foolishly and not thinking about this at all, Gu Jian shook his head silently. He still had to wait for his nephew.
Granny Gu smiled and looked at the two children, then thought for a moment and said, "How about calling it Xiangyang Liulichang?"
Daohua nodded quickly: "This is good."
Xiao Yeyang thought of Daohua's blessing for him on his fifteenth birthday - growing up facing the sun, and nodded with a smile: "Then let's call it Xiangyang Liulichang."
After the name was decided, the construction of Liulichang was almost ready. In the days that followed, Xiao Yeyang began to go out early and come back late, personally participating in the construction of Liulichang.
This was the first time he had accomplished something on his own without relying on anyone else. He personally oversaw all the preparations because he wanted to complete it beautifully.
So that those who care about him and those who have hurt him with bad words can see that he is no longer the child who can only vent his anger when faced with injustice and unfairness.
Daohua originally planned to stay for a few days and then go back home, but because Xiao Yeyang was going to build Liulichang, he would discuss the construction progress with her every time he came back, so she was in no hurry to go back.
Although she didn't know much about the specific matters of factory construction, in the era of information explosion, she had more or less seen and heard some stories about factory construction. When Xiao Yeyang was stuck in a bottleneck, she could occasionally give him some advice, which helped this guy a lot.
Through the discussions and cooperation between the two, Daxia's first Liulichang gradually took shape.
Just when Xiao Yeyang was planning to build Liulichang in Ningmen Mansion, the emperor personally allocated a piece of land to the Ministry of Works in the capital and began to build Kyoto Liulichang.
Only then did the officials realize that the emperor had the recipe for making colored glaze.
A set of glass tea sets would cost dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver on the market. Even a palm-sized glass mirror would cost more than ten taels of silver.
Huge profits!
Everyone heard the news and wanted to get a piece of the pie.
Unfortunately, the emperor kept the prescription tightly under his control and did not give any other party any chance to get involved.
In the palace, the emperor was playing with a glass cup lazily, ignoring the people standing below him, including Prince Jiang, the old prince of the royal family, the Minister of Revenue and others.
"Your Majesty, Liulichang should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue. We shouldn't burden our colleagues in the Ministry of Works with this!"
The Minister of Revenue couldn't help but speak first.
The emperor glanced at the Minister of Revenue calmly and said, "Thank you, my dear minister. Have you prepared the food and wages for the soldiers at the border this year?"
The Minister of Revenue froze for a moment, then smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, you know the situation of the Ministry of Revenue. We are really out of money."
The emperor raised his hand to interrupt him: "Wait until you have solved the problem of food and wages for the soldiers at the border, then come and talk to me."
The Minister of Revenue showed helplessness and quietly retreated to the back.
Prince Jiang thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Ningmen Prefecture is also planning to build a Liulichang, and it will be under Yeyang's management?"
Looking at Prince Jiang, the Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile, "Prince, you are well-informed. You already knew about this before I even had the chance to tell you."
Prince Jiang felt a tightness in his heart. Although he was the emperor's brother-in-law, he did not dare to be arrogant at all. He could feel that the emperor was not as close to the Jiang family as it seemed.
For example, the emperor never called him by his name, but always addressed him as "Crown Prince".
"My second brother went to Zhongzhou and inevitably paid some attention to his cousin Ye Yang, so I learned about this matter."
The emperor smiled and nodded. "Yes, I asked Ye Yang to build it. He built it earlier than the one in the capital, and it should be almost finished now. He named it Xiangyang Liulichang and told me that it was the first Liulichang in Daxia. I haven't seen this kid in a few years, but he's become more and more promising."
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood, Prince Jiang hesitated for a moment, and finally said tentatively: "Your Majesty, Ye Yang is young after all, and I'm afraid he can't handle it. Otherwise, let my second brother assist him?"
“Bang!”
The sound of the cup breaking was heard in the hall, scaring everyone in the hall to kneel down.
The emperor looked at the cup on the ground with regret, "What a pity! A good cup is broken just like that." After saying that, he looked up at the people kneeling on the ground with a look of surprise, "Huh? Why are you kneeling? Hurry up, I just accidentally broke a cup, and you look so nervous."
Prince Jiang and others stood up tremblingly.
At this time, the emperor looked at Prince Jiang with a smile: "What did you say just now? I didn't hear it clearly."
How could Prince Jiang dare to bring it up at this moment? He smiled awkwardly and shook his head: "I didn't say anything."
The emperor smiled and glanced at him, but did not ask any more questions. He turned to look at the old prince from the royal family and said, "Uncle, why are you here today?"
The old prince laughed a few times and said: "This old minister is just here for a stroll. It has been a long time since I came to pay my respects to the emperor. I missed him very much."
The emperor smiled and said, "I miss my uncle a lot too. It's been a while since I last played against him. Shall we play a game later?"
The old prince nodded, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha: "Okay, I feel like my hands are itching."
The emperor pointed to the memorials on the imperial bank and said, "I still have to review the memorials. Uncle, you will have to wait for a while."
The old prince immediately said, "Then I will go to the side hall and wait, so as not to disturb the emperor."
"I, your servants, shall also take my leave!"
Seeing the emperor nod, the old prince and his men immediately retreated. After walking out of the gate, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and left quickly.
As he watched the person leave, the emperor snorted coldly.
He hasn't even made any money yet, how could he let others make it first?
