My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 48 Furious Zhu Di
Xu Qin was indeed very surprised. He really didn't expect that Xiao Ningyue was so efficient. All of them were sold out in just one morning!

"Okay, how many in total?" Xu Qin sat there, regained his composure, looked at Xiao Ningyue and asked.

"Including my seven families, Mr. Xu, they said that if half a month is not enough, half a month later is fine. After all, there are so many machines!" Xiao Ningyue looked at Xu Qin and said with a smile. She had agreed with those cloth merchants to take one month.

"No need, just half a month. So, you go write the agreement, and I, Xu Qin, will sign the agreement with them. But I have to make it clear that before the machine is delivered to them, they are not allowed to say that I sold the machine to them. Of course, if I haven't delivered it by the deadline, they can sue me at any time!" Xu Qin said to Xiao Ningyue.

"Okay! However, I told them it would take one month. I'm worried that you, Mr. Xu, won't be able to finish it in half a month!" Xiao Ningyue stood there, looking at Xu Qin and said shyly.

"Sure, you can write a month's agreement, but inform them that the delivery will start in about half a month, and they can come to our house to pick it up then. Okay, then you write the agreement!" Xu Qin nodded and said to Xiao Ningyue with a smile.

"Sir, why don't you write it?" Xiao Ningyue looked at Xu Qin and asked. After all, there were many things she didn't understand yet and she had to listen to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin blushed and waved his hands, saying, "My handwriting is very bad. You write it."

"Oh, okay!" Xiao Ningyue was surprised to hear Xu Qin say this, but since Xu Qin said so, she could only write it herself.

Next, Xu Qin dictated and Xiao Ningyue began to write. If there were some unexpected places, Xiao Ningyue would remind Xu Qin.

After she finished writing one copy, Xu Qin asked her to copy thirteen copies. After copying, Xu Qin began to sign. At this moment, Xiao Ningyue discovered that Xu Qin's handwriting was indeed not good.

"Take it back and give it to them to sign. Then give me a copy. You also need to give me your copy!" Xu Qin handed the signed copy to Xiao Ningyue.

Xiao Ningyue smiled and nodded, then said to Xu Qin: "Mr. Xu, you need to practice your calligraphy."

"No need to practice, I'm a military general!" Xu Qin waved his hand and said. This sentence was not wrong. If Zhu Di had not stripped him of his title, Xu Qin would probably have needed to go to the army for training in two years.

However, there is a flaw in this statement, as there are many military generals who have beautiful handwriting.

"That requires practice, Mr. Xu. Handwriting is very important. You can know a person by looking at his handwriting!" Xiao Ningyue said with a smile.

"Well! Let's talk about it later!" Xu Qin said indifferently.

I am really not used to writing calligraphy. Besides, I am a playboy, why should I be so eager to learn?
Then Xiao Ningyue took out the silver note and handed it to Xu Qin. The total amount was 2.8 million taels. Xiao Ningyue actually asked them to pay the full amount, and those people believed it.

After Xu Qin counted the money, he chatted with Xiao Ningyue for a while and then went home.

When they arrived at the living room in the front yard, Xu Huizu was still assembling machines, and he also brought many people from the mansion to study here together.

"Dad, Dad, come here!" Xu Qin said as he walked towards the door of Xu Huizu's study.

Xu Huizu was very surprised after hearing this. He didn't know what this guy was going to do. But he still put down his tools and walked towards the study.

Arriving at the study, Xu Huizu said to Xu Qin, "What's the matter? Tell me now. Dad is busy. Now I have to teach those people how to assemble the machines. Didn't you say you wanted to sell the machines? Why are you back so early?"

"Hey, open it and take a look!" Xu Qin handed the bag to Xu Huizu.

Xu Huizu took it in confusion, opened it, and found that they were all silver bills. He immediately covered them and stared at Xu Qin in surprise.

"Two million eight hundred thousand taels, all here. You must hurry to assemble the machine. By the way, take out one hundred thousand taels and use it to pay for the spare parts. I can use the rest!" Xu Qin said to Xu Huizu.

"Just, just, it's sold? They paid in full?" Xu Huizu looked at Xu Qin in shock and asked, a little bit unbelievable that they also wanted such an expensive machine!
"Well, so, Dad, you have to hurry up. Take them to work quickly in half a month. I will use the money to buy those mansions near our home. I will find a way to make them sell them all to us. I don't mind a high price. Then you, Dad, will have more places to move around, so that your home won't be too small. I will then renovate it for you so that you have room to play!" Xu Qin said to Xu Huizu with a smile.

"This, this, Dad, am I dreaming?" Xu Huizu still found it hard to believe. He knew that his family's machines were good, but he didn't expect that they would sell so well!
"Oh, the money has been collected, and you are still dreaming. Let me do it!" Xu Qin said as he grabbed a handful of silver bills from the bag and began to count them. He counted out 100,000 taels and handed them to Xu Huizu.

"Dad, don't make it public for now. I'm worried that His Majesty will go back on his word. When the goods are delivered, you can tell my mother and the others that I will go buy a house in the next few days and buy up the entire area!" Xu Qin said this with excitement on his face.

"Is there any chance that Your Majesty will go back on his word?" Xu Huizu looked at Xu Qin worriedly.

"It's possible, but it's not a big deal. You should hurry up and do it!" Xu Qin said to Xu Huizu.

"Okay, don't worry, Dad will take them to work quickly these days!" Xu Huizu nodded immediately after hearing what Xu Qin said. In order to avoid more trouble, he still needed to hurry up. In the next few days, Xu Qin began to visit those neighbors and gave them a price they could not refuse. For example, in this area, a mansion with an acre of land cost about 3,000 taels. Xu Qin directly gave 5,000 taels and asked them to buy mansions in other places as soon as possible.

But there is a condition: it must not be made public and they can move out within half a month. Now they have to sign the contract first, Xu Qin pays the money first, and let them buy the new mansion.

The neighbors were so happy that they all agreed.

In five days, Xu Qin expanded the area of ​​his home to more than 300 acres, and Xu Qin's family was the only one left in the entire area.

After the delivery, Xu Qin can seal off all the alleys and then open up those mansions. However, these mansions need to be rebuilt, so there is no rush.

Xu Huizu has been busy until late every night these days. All the machines are piled up in the mansion, and all the production workshops in the mansion have been moved to other places.

Although Li didn't know what the father and son were doing, Xu Huizu just said one word: It's a good thing, a huge good thing, so Li didn't ask any more questions.

Zhu Di was also very happy these days because he found that Xu Qin did not visit those cloth merchants at all, which means that Xu Qin’s machines could not be sold!

Although it was heard that Xu Huizu produced many machines at home, Zhu Di was not worried. If those machines could not be sold, they would naturally be sold to the Weaving Bureau, so that the price could be lowered.

Soon, half a month passed, and Xu Huizu had already made 4,000 machines, but his own machines were not enough, so Xu Qin asked Xu Huizu to specialize in the production of looms and stop producing spinning machines.

In the future, our family will mainly engage in weaving. Now that we have sold so many machines, the spindles will definitely be cheaper. Besides, we can make a spinning machine at home whenever we need it.

That morning, Xu Qin asked someone to notify Xiao Ningyue, asking Xiao Ningyue to notify the cloth merchants to come to his house tomorrow morning to move the machines and bring enough horse-drawn carriages. His house would start delivering the goods tomorrow.

When Xiao Ningyue learned about it, she was very happy and immediately sent someone to notify them.

The next day, there were a large number of carriages at the gate of Xu Qin's mansion, and Xiao Ningyue arrived at Xu Qin's mansion as soon as possible.

According to the list, Xiao Ningyue began to cooperate with Xu Qin at the door to direct the cloth merchants to move the machines. At the same time, she sent the servants at home to the cloth merchants to adjust the machines.

Soon, the news here spread throughout the city of Nanjing. When the cloth merchants learned that Xu Qin was selling machines and knew that he might not sell them in the future, they anxiously slapped their thighs and rushed to the door of Xu Qin's mansion, wanting to find those cloth merchants, hoping to transfer the machines to them, and they were willing to pay more.

But those cloth merchants are not stupid. These machines are the goose that lays golden eggs. They are also cloth merchants, so how can they sell them? The key point is that Xu Qin said that they may not sell them in the future. Those cloth merchants who bought the machines will definitely not sell them!

The situation here was quickly passed on to Zhu Gaosui through the Jinyiwei guarding outside the gate of Xu's mansion.

"Sell machines? Just sell them, let them sell them, I won't go to see!" Zhu Gaosui waved his hand and said.

Now he didn't want to see Xu Qin. Every time he saw Xu Qin, Xu Qin would snatch his money, and he couldn't hit him. He didn't want to suffer humiliation again.

It was not until noon that Zhu Di learned from Liu Yongcheng that Xu Qin was selling machines.

"Selling machines? Xu Mansion?" After hearing this, Zhu Di looked at Liu Yongcheng in shock.

"Yes, now many merchants are standing at the gate of Xu's house, transporting those machines back, but I heard that only seven have bought them. Xu's house only sold 2,000 spinning machines and 2,000 looms. Now those cloth merchants who haven't bought them are very anxious and want to buy them from Xu's house, but Xu's house said they will not sell them! Therefore, many cloth merchants want to share some with those who have bought them, but those cloth merchants are unwilling to share!" Liu Yongcheng stood there and reported with a bow.

Zhu Di stared at Liu Yongcheng in amazement. Why had there been no news before? Moreover, no one came to report that Xu Qin had found a buyer?
Besides, would those merchants buy such an expensive machine? Thinking of this, Zhu Di quickly asked, "Do you know the price?"

"I know. A spinning machine costs six hundred taels of silver, and a loom costs eight hundred taels of silver. It's not cheap, but those merchants rushed to buy them. I heard that the Xu family took home more than two million taels of silver this time!" Liu Yongcheng replied with a bow.

After hearing this, Zhu Di was extremely angry. He felt that he had been fooled by Xu Qin. Of course, the third brother was also to blame!

So he shouted angrily: "Go, go call the third brother, why didn't he come to report such a big event in the Xu Mansion? And go call the eldest brother, go quickly!"

When Liu Yongcheng saw Zhu Di was angry, he clasped his hands in fear and said, "Yes, I will go right away, right away!"
