My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 47 The opportunity to make a fortune has come
Xu Huizu looked at Xu Qin in confusion, worried that Xu Qin's actions would anger Zhu Di, so he said to Xu Qin: "Bao'er, this matter still needs to be cautious. Although Zhu Di disgusts us, there are some things he can do that we cannot. You must know that when the emperor is angry, blood will flow for thousands of miles!"

"Dad, don't worry. I didn't make him angry! If he thinks the price is too high, that's fine. Can you see if I can sell it to those merchants? Right? If the weavers have trouble making a living after selling it to merchants, it won't be my fault.

My aunt has already said that I don't want to expand the matter so much, and I agreed. Now it's not us who are doing the wrong thing, it's His Majesty, so the consequences are not something we need to consider.

Don't worry, Dad, it's okay. You can take a few trusted servants with you to assemble the machines and sell them for money!" Xu Qin sat next to Xu Huizu and said to him with a smile.

"Baoer, are you sure?" Xu Huizu continued to ask Xu Qin cautiously, and asked this question many times.

"Don't worry, we have it!" Xu Qin nodded.

"Okay then, you're right, it was Zhu Di who disgusted us first!" Seeing Xu Qin so sure, Xu Huizu also nodded.

In fact, Xu Huizu trusted Xu Qin very much, especially since he cured his illness, Xu Huizu began to agree with all the decisions made by his son.

After all, he is now confined at home, and he doesn't know much about what is going on outside. He can't help his son in any way. The only thing he can do is to help his son keep a close eye on things.

After Zhu Gaochi returned to the palace, he told Zhu Di what Xu Qin had said.

"So expensive? This guy wants to extort money, right? I don't care. Just one word, go to the Weaving Bureau to be an official. Also, I need a profit of 1.2 million taels a year. If you don't agree, don't blame me for punishing him!" Zhu Di heard what Zhu Gaochi said and shouted to Zhu Gaochi.

I'm so angry. This kid actually asked for such a huge amount.

"Dad, he said he won't go!" Zhu Gaochi said to Zhu Di with a bow.

"If he says he won't go, then he won't go. If he doesn't go, I will confiscate his house." Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi and said fiercely.

Zhu Gaochi continued to bow and said: "My uncle said that we should wait for the confiscation of our property at any time."

After hearing this, Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi in a daze, and after a while he said, "The Ministry of Revenue has so much money, more than two million taels?"

"No, not even 200,000 taels. The Ministry of Revenue is still in deficit and it's hard to balance the accounts this year!" Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

Zhu Di began to have a headache, wondering why this kid was so disobedient. If he told him how to solve the weavers' livelihood problem, he would be able to get tens of millions of taels from the weaving bureau every year.

This kid is not sensible!
"Dad, my suggestion on this matter is that you shouldn't buy so much. Buy some first, for example, reduce the price by half!" Zhu Gaochi asked Zhu Di tentatively.

Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaochi and asked, "Where does the money come from?"

"Father, Shakyabao said, um...I don't know whether I should say it or not?"

"Say!"

"Sakya Bao said that the third brother's annual income will not be less than one million taels, and the second brother also makes a lot of money by drawing a salary without working. These words were not said by your son, but by Sakya Bao. He meant that the two of them should pay!" Zhu Gaochi said carefully while looking at Zhu Di.

He was afraid that Zhu Di would be angry and think that he could not tolerate those two brothers, but this was the only way now. On the way back, Zhu Gaochi thought about this issue.

"They have?" Zhu Di frowned and asked Zhu Gaochi.

"I really don't know this!" Zhu Gaochi shook his head and tried to distance himself from the matter. There was no other way. Only Sakya Bao could say this, but he couldn't.

"Well, Dad, let me think about it!" Zhu Di nodded and sat there without understanding.

After a while, Zhu Di said, "Do you think such an expensive machine is worth it?"

"Dad, what Sakyabao means is that if you don't want it, he will sell it to other merchants. I am not sure about this matter. After all, I don't know much about business matters!" Zhu Gaochi answered carefully.

"So do you think he has the intention to blackmail me?" Zhu Di continued to ask.

"Well, well, Dad, do you mean you don't want to buy it?" Zhu Gaochi asked tentatively.

"It's not that we don't want to buy it, it's just that it's too expensive. You tell me, how much do their machines cost? When Sakyabao opened the workshop, the Xu family had no money. According to his calculations, those machines are worth a million taels. Does he have that much money?
Boss, this guy is just blackmailing me, I don't believe it, you let him sell the machine, if he sells it at this price, I will buy it!" Zhu Di sat there, very unconvinced and said.

Zhu Gaochi stood there thinking for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "If it is sold out, and the sales are out of control, how will the weavers make a living? Also, does the weaving bureau want to buy it? If so, where will the money come from?"

"Do you think he can sell it?" Zhu Di questioned Zhu Gaochi.

"I don't know. I just know that we need to prepare for the worst. If they are sold, and a lot of them are sold, the livelihoods of the weavers will be affected immediately. Then, Dad, this matter will be troublesome." Zhu Gaochi replied with a bow.

Zhu Di sat there stroking his beard, thinking about the matter carefully, and said after a while: "You tell Sakyabao that he is only allowed to sell 2,000 units to the cloth merchants each." "This, Dad?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di in confusion.

"We still need to control it. I'm worried that this guy is blackmailing me. But you're right. If it sells really well, we have to be on guard. That's it!" Zhu Di said while looking at Zhu Gaochi.

"Dad, this matter is still risky." Zhu Gaochi still wanted to persuade Zhu Di.

Zhu Di waved his hand, signaling him to stop talking.

Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to give up, but he was still worried. However, his father sometimes would not listen to advice, and he thought Xu Qin was blackmailing him, so there was no point in saying anything.

The next morning, Xu Qin was still sleeping, and Zhu Gaochi sent someone to Xu's house to tell him Zhu Di's intention.

Xu Huizu immediately went to Xu Qin's bedroom, woke Xu Qin up, and conveyed Zhu Di's intention to him.

"Oh, there is such a good thing, Dad. Hurry up and do it, quickly, you must be quick. This money is not easy to come by. When the time comes, I will buy all the mansions near our home for you and expand our mansion. Then you will have more space to move around!" Xu Qin said to Xu Huizu excitedly when he heard it.

"Baoer, it's so expensive, can it be sold?" Xu Huizu still looked at Xu Qin with suspicion at this moment.

"Dad, think about it. Two thousand of each. Tell me how much capital is needed. I estimate that it will be less than 50,000 taels. Even if we can't sell them, we can use them ourselves. But if we sell them, they will be worth 2.8 million taels.

"Dad, do you think it's worth it for you to take a chance? Besides, it's my fault if I can't sell it. You should hurry up and do it as quickly as possible. Stop the machines in our house and make money first!" Xu Qin said excitedly to Xu Huizu.

"Yes, even if we can't sell it, we can still use it at home. Okay, Baoer, don't worry about the rest, just continue sleeping!" After hearing Xu Qin's analysis, Xu Huizu felt it was worth it. He stood up and walked outside with a burst of energy.

"How can I sleep?" Xu Qin was almost asleep at this moment, and naturally couldn't fall asleep after being woken up.

After Xu Qin woke up, he went to the workshop and asked someone to call Xiao Ningyue over.

When Xiao Ningyue learned that Xu Qin was looking for her, she was very happy and rushed over immediately.

"Mr. Xu, is there any good news?" Xiao Ningyue asked Xu Qin with a smile.

"Yes, His Majesty has agreed to let my family sell the machines. The spinning machine is six hundred taels each, and the loom is eight hundred taels each. I guarantee that you will get your investment back in two and a half years!" Xu Qin sat there and said to Xiao Ningyue with a smile.

"Selling machines? Mr. Xu, but is the Xu family in any difficulty? I still have some spare money and can give it to you!" Xiao Ningyue was very surprised when she heard that Xu Qin wanted to sell machines. Those cloth merchants knew very well that the Xu family's machines were the goose that laid golden eggs, so how could they be sold?

"It's not difficult. There are some things I can't tell you. Anyway, if you want it, do it as soon as possible. His Majesty has only agreed that I can sell 2,000 units each. I'll keep as many as you need! Don't think about other things. Just think about whether it's worth it." Xu Qin said with a smile and waved his hand.

Xiao Ningyue was sitting there and starting to calculate. At this price, Xiao Ningyue knew there was money to be made. She was calculating how many units she could buy with her family's money. She knew in her heart that Xu Qin would not cheat her.

"Mr. Xu, my family still has 400,000 taels of silver in cash. Tell me, how should I buy it?" Xiao Ningyue looked at Xu Qin and said with a smile.

"Well, four hundred spinning machines, and the rest for looms!" Xu Qin said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, Mr. Xu, I'll send someone to deliver the money this afternoon!" Xiao Ningyue nodded without hesitation.

"Well, you can sell the remaining machines to whoever you want. Remember, two thousand machines each. You can raise the price based on my price. If you can sell them, all the extra money is yours!" Xu Qin said while looking at Xiao Ningyue with a smile.

Xiao Ningyue was very excited when she heard this. She immediately bowed to Xu Qin and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xu. Don't worry, I will bring back the money and the list this afternoon."

"Okay, go ahead. By the way, in order to prevent any accidents, I will deliver the goods at that time. Ask them to buy the machines and don't spread the word. I estimate that I can deliver the goods in half a month! If you don't trust me, don't buy it, and don't force them!" Xu Qin reminded Xiao Ningyue.

"Don't worry, Mr. Xu. We are not fools. They know whether they can make money by buying machines!" Xiao Ningyue said to Xu Qin with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead!" Xu Qin nodded.

I am not familiar with those cloth merchants, but Xiao Ningyue is familiar with them. It would be best to let her do it.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, Xiao Ningyue came over with the money and the list.

Xu Qin looked at Xiao Ningyue in surprise. He didn't expect that Xiao Ningyue was so efficient.

Xiao Ningyue was also happy, as she made a lot of money this time.
