Chapter 96： Proclaim yourself emperor

Chapter 96 Self-reliant as emperor and announced to the world

"Our family still has 27 mu of land, and now there are 45 people working, and the wages cost nearly two taels of silver every day."

Of course, she has two ledgers, one with raw materials and one without raw materials.

If the raw materials were removed, she would indeed have earned more than forty taels of silver today.

But who told her to cooperate with His Royal Highness Li Wang to do business, she must also calculate the cost of raw materials at the market price.

It's not that she doesn't want to give more money to His Royal Highness Li Wang, if Li Wang sees that the raw materials in the ledger have not been spent, she will also be in danger at that time.

She made it so clear that she didn't want the children in the family to feel that the family made too much money at once, and then drifted away.

Seeing that the children were all frowning, as if they had lost a lot of money in an instant, Yang Ruolan smiled and said: "The income of more than thirty taels a day is not bad. Thinking about it before, it was a lot of people's life. Unearned money."

Nan Gongsheng came to his senses immediately, and said with a smile, "Indeed, I never thought in my life that our family could do business. It's not bad to have so much money."

Nan Gongxiu also said: "Yes, today is the first day of business, and the future business will definitely get better day by day."

Nangong Anshan collected the money and said: "Leave the money to me for safekeeping for the time being. From now on, I will need a lot of raw materials every day, and I will also need a lot of money to buy them."

Yang Ruolan said: "You are supposed to keep this, but Ah Shan, you must record every expense well, lest His Royal Highness Prince Li feel that the accounts are wrong."

"Well, I see."

Nangong Anshan spoke a few more words with her family members, and asked them not to reveal how much money they had earned. After collecting the money, they left her house together.

Second brother had a hard time frying dishes all day, so she took charge of cooking the dinner herself.

After dinner, she gave some of the bedding she bought to the brothers, and asked them to make the rest of the house.

At this time, Nangong Yao saw that sister was making her own room, and said, "Sister, do you want me to sleep in a room alone tonight?"

"Yeah, are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid, the fourth brother and the fifth brother are also in the same room, if I sleep with sister again, they will definitely laugh at me."

Nangong Anshan just smiled.

Night, business as usual.

The next day, Nangong Anshan was making breakfast when she heard a knock on the door.

"Ayao, go open the door and see who it is."

Nangong Yao ran over quickly after hearing the words, and soon shouted, "Sister, it's Mr. Xu."

Nangong Anshan came out of the kitchen to take a look, and she saw Dugu Huanxu arrive.

"Master Xu, please sit down first, I will show you the account book later."

"it is good."

Nangong Anshan speeded up her movements and finished the breakfast in a short while.

Everyone worked hard yesterday, and it will definitely be another day of exhaustion today, so she made a lot of delicious food.

Of course, there is also goat milk today.

After everyone finished eating, she asked her younger siblings to wash the dishes, and took out the ledger by herself.

Dugu Huanxu looked at the account book carefully, and said with a smile: "It seems that the business on the first day is not bad."

Nangong Anshan nodded: "Well, I believe our business will get better and better in the future."

This is about the same as she estimated. Many people buy oil by the pound, so there seemed to be a lot of people queuing up yesterday, but the sales volume was not that high.

"That's right." Dugu Huanxu said, "These oils use a lot of raw materials. Where did you buy them from?"

Nangong Anshan said: "When I came back from selling medicines in the city, I searched everywhere. Fortunately, I saved a lot when the workshop was under construction. When I came back yesterday, I brought some back. In the past few days, the workshop has no shortage of raw materials."

"That's good."

"Master Xu, you left in such a hurry that day, what happened?"

Dugu Huanxu thought about the events of the past few days, and sighed, "Qinglong Kingdom is in chaos."

"Hasn't Qinglong Kingdom been in chaos long ago?"

"Before, it was a small fight. This time is different. King Qi has established himself as the emperor and announced to the world that he is the emperor of the Qinglong Kingdom. The sixth year of the calendar is changed to the first year of the Qi calendar, and he plans to attack the capital. , occupied the imperial palace, and now the capital is gathering a large number of soldiers and horses to quell the chaos."

King Qi?

Nangong Anshan recalled the map she had seen in her previous life, the land of King Qi did not border on the land of King Li, it should border on the capital.

Then they should not be fighting here for the time being.

Nangong Anshan asked: "Mr. Yixu guesses, which side is more likely to win now?"

Dugu Huanxu said: "Both will suffer, King Qi may win a small victory."

Nangong Anshan said: "Why do you say that?"

Dugu Huanxu said: "It's very simple. The current emperor in the capital is just a puppet emperor. The real power is the queen mother. But the queen mother is not the emperor's biological mother. She has her own son, the king of Wei, and the king of Wei also has his own son. The fief also has its own army. Since the queen mother took the throne, the two have been at odds. They are busy fighting among themselves, how can they win the battle well. "

Nangong Anshan said: "It makes sense."

The last time I heard him say that King Li refused to go to the capital due to illness. In the eyes of the court, King Li was also a person who wanted to rebel. She thought that the capital would soon go to war with King Li's fief, but she didn't expect that the court would start a war with King Qi first. .

Nangong Anshan said solemnly: "But no matter which side they win, it is estimated that we will be the ones they will clean up in the future."

Dugu Huanxu nodded: "That's right, so the troops in Liwang's fiefdom are stepping up their drills recently, in case of emergencies."

Nangong Anshan suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Young Master Xu, you are a friend of His Highness Li Wang, you must know a little about His Highness Li's thoughts, has he thought about that position?"

Dugu Huanxu frowned and said: "You are really bold, do you know what punishment you will receive if this word reaches King Li's ears?"

"Haha." Nangong Anshan smiled and said, "Aren't we the only ones here, as long as you don't tell me, and my family doesn't tell, no one will know."

Dugu smiled helplessly, and said: "I don't know about this either, the most important thing for His Royal Highness Li now is to protect his people from the spread of the war, but if others take action against him and want to get rid of him, he won't be able to." resist."

"I see."

"Okay." Dugu Huanxu said: "You are still young, don't worry about these things, and now there are other fiefs fighting with each other, they have no time to attack our fief, the war will not reach here for the time being, the sky is falling, what's the matter?" With Li Wang's family supporting you, your family will be fine."
