Chapter 497

The results of Xu Wei's investigation are roughly the same as what Su Yi said, but in more detail.

The cloth shops and restaurants in Weiyang Hou's residence are only second-class in the capital. In terms of first-class, they are naturally Nangong Yu's industry. No matter it's the top-grade restaurant, moon invitation restaurant, Ruyi villa, Jinxiu Pavilion, etc., anyone with Nangong Yu's intervention can't compare with others.

To make money, Luo qingluan first ruled out these two. The cloth village wants to make a short-term profit, unless she makes some new tricks to arouse the interest of those dignitaries and ladies in the capital and stir up a sensation, she can make some money. But it's too hard. Luo qingluan doesn't do good. Besides, her body is not allowed to be too tired at this time.

As for the restaurant, this is a running business, which is basically stable every month. Even if she gets some new dishes, she will only make small profits, which is thankless. Luo qingluan doesn't intend to consider it.

"Princess, there are 3800 mu of farmland in the suburbs of Weiyang Hou's house, including 12000 in Shangtian, 2000 in Zhongtian and the rest in Xiatian. This year's harvest is just over, one-third of the grain has been put into the warehouse, and two-thirds have been sold."

Xu Wei inquired very carefully: "I sneaked into Weiyang Hou's house to check the accounts. I made more than 5000 liang of grain sold, which is less than that in previous years. These things were handled by Weiyang Hou in the past. This year, it was handed over to Mrs. su. She may not understand. It's hard to be ashamed of face."

"How much less?" Luo qingluan smiled faintly. No wonder the woman was seduced by Nangong Waner and took the bait. It turned out that she lost money and wanted to get some money from other places.

"More than two thousand Liang less."

Xu Wei said: "My subordinates also checked by the way. Mrs. Su got all the silver from the eldest princess and used it to buy gold and silver jewelry, but secretly entrusted someone to sell it. She changed hands like this. The money was secretly sent back to her mother's house and asked her brother to buy a real estate shop. However, she is only checking at present and has not found a suitable one. It is estimated that it will be almost finished in another month or two."

"This woman said she was greedy and stupid, but she was a little careful and knew to wash the money away. In this way, even if she got the money from Nangong Waner, she couldn't find it. Instead, she put it in her brother's name. She was clean." Luo qingluan sneered.

I don't know how Yang Shi thinks about it. She can't manage her family well. Instead, she sells women for money. Although it's not her intention, it's almost the same. Did something really happen to Su Yi in the future? Nangong Waner confessed Yang's family. Would Nangong Qing forgive her because she couldn't find out the benefits of her greed for ink?

It's mindless!

Luo qingluan was very upset at the thought of helping such a woman make money. Even for Su Yi's sake, she will give Yang a good toss. Making money is OK, but it will never be that simple.

Calculating the plan in her heart, Luo qingluan asked about the general affairs of Weiyang Hou's house, and finally made up her mind. A few days later, she posted a post and sent someone to Weiyang Hou's house.

If it weren't for what Su Yi had said to Yang, she would have doubts for a long time if she received Luo qingluan's post. But it came quickly. Yang only brought a personal servant girl and came at the moment of dawn.

In the flower hall, Luo qingluan met Yang.

It seems to be to show her identity. She can't lift her head in front of Luo qingluan, the princess of Chu. Yang wears a silver blouse with Rose Embroidered orchids and a shoe with fox fur edge. Her lower body is a moon white Ruyi pleated skirt, which looks noble and elegant.

The makeup on the face is also excellent. Emei is light, with red lips and white teeth. Although it is over 40, it is well maintained. It is only ten years younger. The Pearl Earrings on the earlobes shake step by step. The dense pearls are colorful with iridescence. At first glance, they are the best goods at the bottom of the box. They are usually not willing to wear them easily.

When Luo qingluan politely asked yang to sit down, she also touched the golden Hibiscus hairpin on her head. With a proud smile, she smiled politely with Luo qingluan, and then inadvertently mentioned the purpose.

"Listen to ah Yi, Princess Chu has a profitable business and can't find a suitable person?" Yang smiled faintly. He didn't seem to care much, but his ears almost stood up. He wanted to hear Luo qingluan's answer.

The colder the weather became, Luo qingluan smiled and said with a slight headache, "yes, the Empress Dowager called me into the palace a few days ago. I went to see the empress and talked about it by the way. The empress said she had some channels in her family, but she said she wanted to discuss it with Mrs. su. I'll wait for the news."

Seeing Yang's eyes brighten and his chest straightens, Luo qingluan seems to be pretending to be embarrassed, but his words changed: "this business is simple and difficult, and the key is to grasp the opportunity. Now the wind direction in the capital is really a good opportunity. If you see the right investment, I'm afraid it will be at least tens of thousands of profits..."

"What, tens of thousands of taels..."

Yang exclaimed directly. So much money was far more than she expected.

The family's expenses are increasing these days. In order to maintain identity and face, it takes at least a few hundred Liang to welcome and send each month, not to mention some relatives who don't usually contact. Since Su Yi became the queen, hundreds of miles and thousands of miles have come. Yang doesn't care about climbing relatives. He just shows off his daughter's glory in front of them, but it takes money to treat guests every time. When he comes and goes, he not only has no income, but also spends more than 1000 Liang. How can Yang stand it?

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid she will drink the West and north wind from the Marquis of Weiyang.

Now she is in charge, and even her mother-in-law is hiding it. Yang naturally feels that Alexander.

Otherwise, she didn't know that the princess had targeted Su Yi, so she was bought with a little silver. She was really short of money!

"What business can make so much at once? Princess Chu, isn't it a great risk?" Yang is greedy and cautious, but he has a strong desire for money in his eyes: "although I'm not good at business, I've heard some. The steward shopkeepers in the family have talked about it. They want to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the short term. It's... Unlikely?"

Luo qingluan knew the woman's character from Yang's greedy but cautious transfer of money to his brother's name. If she didn't say it, her worries would disappear and her heart would be moved. I'm afraid she won't believe it at all.

Thinking of Yang's personality, Luo qingluan pressed down his contempt, Glanced at her: "Ruyi Pavilion, Mrs. Su should know? I believe Mrs. Su should know more or less about the well-known shops such as Jinxiu Villa and jinmanlou. I account for several% of the dividends of these shops, and the annual profit will not be less than 200000 Liang. Mrs. Su thinks that if I don't think about it, will I ask my mother to inquire about this?"

"If it weren't for my mother's sake, this change of hands would be a good thing for tens of thousands of liang of business. I can find cooperation anywhere. Now I'm kind enough to give Mrs. Su a chance to cooperate and make money. If you don't believe it, it's OK."

Seeing Luo qingluan pick up the teacup and make a gesture of seeing off the guests, Yang immediately panicked. When she was short of money, it was easy for her to meet an opportunity. She was introduced by her favorite daughter. How could she not?

If you miss it, I'm afraid you'll never have this opportunity again. Yang thought of Luo qingluan's identity, not to mention Su Yi's guarantee. He hurriedly said, "Princess Chu, I believe, believe, how can I not believe you. That is... Can you tell me in detail what's going on, so I can go back and discuss how much money I can take out."

"You don't have to pay Mrs. su. You don't have to pay a penny."

Waiting for yang to enter the urn, Luo qingluan smiled and looked at her with a surprised look on her face: "the cost is wrapped in me. Mrs. Su only needs to leave."

"Out of people, how out of people?" Yang is a little silly.

She knows that money gives money and power. But there are only dozens of maids and servants in Weiyang Hou's house. There are few free people who have something to do when they go out. Besides, those are servants. What business can they do?

"Isn't Hou's house a lot of land in the suburbs of Beijing? This year's harvest has just passed, and the tenants and farmers in the village are just free? It's going to be winter. In previous years, these farmers have nothing to do. They can't do anything until it snows and closes the mountain. They can't work until spring. If Mrs. Su can take these farmers away When people manage, don't they have a large number of people? "

"Princess Chu means that these farmers and tenants can help you do business?" Yang's some can't believe it.

Luo qingluan did not answer and asked, "does Mrs. Su know what these farmers were doing at home in the past winter?"

Yang's lips curled and said, "what else can they do? Those men, who have some strength and ability, can go up the mountain to fight wild boars and deer. The mother-in-law of the family is just spinning and weaving. If they are stupid, the family will eat and store grain and won't do anything."

Yang naturally dismisses these people.

She is a noble wife of the Marquis, her daughter is also the queen of the mother of a country. As Princess of Chu, Luo qingluan can't compare with her, but when it comes to these servants, Yang is despised by 10000.

There are thousands of acres of land in the Marquis of Weiyang. Hundreds of people work every year. These people are employed by the Marquis all year round and have signed a long contract. Although I don't have much income, I can't save a few silver except food and clothing, but at least I don't worry about food and drink, and I can live on.

In spring, summer and autumn, it is natural to plant crops. The whole family is busy. Only in winter, the weather is too cold to grow crops, so they take a rest season.

In previous years, every Chuang Tzu basically sent people to Hou's house to send prey, homemade bacon enema, and mountain goods. They are not worth money, but they are more or less a token of his intention. The Hou family also understood what they meant. They would not raise the rent in the coming year, so everyone was happy.

But Yang didn't understand it at all. Luo qingluan finally said the answer: "those men naturally don't need it. Let them hunt as usual. If Mrs. Su can gather these women and let them spin and weave together, I promise I can earn 100000 taels of silver for up to three months."

"What, spinning and weaving can earn 100000 liang of silver?"

Yang's eyes widened and doubted, "those women can spin some coarse cloth at most. Who can sell these coarse goods? Who can pay such a high price? Princess Chu, don't you coax me?"

If she hadn't thought about Luo qingluan's identity, she would scold her as a liar on the spot.

Who knows, Luo qingluan smiled and said meaningfully, "did Mrs. Su forget that the winter is coming soon, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front have not prepared winter clothes! The dignitaries in the capital naturally despise these coarse cloth, but it is impossible to make cotton clothes and sell them to the military headquarters?"

Looking at Yang's sudden realization, Luo qingluan was shocked and ecstatic. "This is not only a matter of great profits, but also a good reputation for supporting the front line. I'm afraid even his majesty and the Empress Dowager will reward it."
