Xue Jiazi

Xue Pan really didn't mean it, he just wanted to find some novel gadgets to please sister Lin, but he didn't want such a gadget to give the Xue family a new way of making money, and he got a lot of money from it.

It started when Xue Pan found someone to make an umbrella. At first, he only wanted to find a sunshade that could be used by children, so that Lin Daiyu, who was growing up, could go around the garden with an umbrella, and at least be stronger. After looking around, there were umbrellas everywhere, where was there any sunshade, let alone a small sunshade, as soon as he got up, he didn't even look for it, and just pestered Wang, asking her to tell someone to go I asked the umbrella maker to come to my house and make the umbrella he thought of.

It is unprincipled for Mrs. Wang to dote on her children. He only heard Xue Pan's jellybean-like prayers, but he couldn't say anything that he couldn't do. Naturally, he agreed a hundred times.Waiting for someone to come, and listening to my son's order to make umbrellas for my mother and sister first, I feel more appropriate in my heart. I only feel that my son is very filial, and even the craftsman's money is ordered to be a bit higher. .

When Xue Xun first heard that his son was not studying well, he was annoyed at thinking about this craftsman. He felt that his son was not up to date. After only studying for a few days, he started to toss again. Teach Xue Pan a lesson, but fortunately Xue Pan has a husband who is informal, and I heard that he found Xue Xun later.

According to what the master said, there is nothing good about those who do not study well. Most of them can memorize books but do not know the knowledge of the world, let alone the hardships and dangers of the world. Because when it comes to policy theory, the articles generally need to have their own opinions, and most of these opinions are related to people's livelihood and other matters, not to mention the examination, which requires their own understanding and views on government affairs to have a chance.

Like Xue Pan who grew up in a wealthy family, maybe there will be no hardships in terms of basic necessities of life, and reading is easier for ordinary people, but it is a big weakness in this world. In order to prevent Xue Pan from making troubles in the future: why not It's better to guide him more, let him learn more about this aspect while playing around, and broaden his horizons more.

With what the master said, although Xue Xun was still unhappy in his heart, he could still pretend that he didn't know. Waiting for Xue Pan to make the umbrella for his mother and sister first, he would rarely come to see it in a good mood, thinking Anyway, this is an act of filial piety, and there is no shame in saying it.Besides, Xue Pan didn't do it himself.Thinking of this, he calmed down a little.

It's just that when he saw the so-called parasol made by his son, his eyes flashed and he almost went blind. What do you think, because Xue Pan made it for his family, he didn't care if it was too extravagant or not. It was too ostentatious, so he just used what he thought was the best. The one for Xue Wang was light green gauze wrapped with silver light, and the pattern of hundreds of sons and grandchildren was embroidered on the umbrella surface. The villains are decorated with many pearls and gemstones, no matter how gorgeous they look, and the umbrella ribs are inlaid with pieces of sapphire, carved out the pattern of pomegranate flowers, not to mention the tassels on the handshake under the umbrella, Jade pendants, these are all small things, such a delicate umbrella, when you hold it up and go outside, it doesn't cover the light at all, and under the sunlight, it looks even more magnificent. People who bought good things didn't feel a little moved by seeing them, they just felt that they were exquisitely crafted and exquisite to the extreme.

I don't know what came to mind, he suddenly stepped forward, took out Baochai's umbrella on the other side, and looked it over carefully, because it was for a girl, and she was a five-year-old girl, so the umbrella was small Very, but because of its small size, it looks more exquisite. The big peonies on the pink umbrella surface, Yao Huang Wei Zi, are all enchanting, and they are decorated with pearls, like dewdrops staying on the umbrella, very cute.

Seeing these two umbrellas, Xue Xun became ecstatic. Over the years, their family has been responsible for the purchase of palace flowers and some hair oils, face powder, and rouge. It's very limited, I want to seek some other errands, but there are all kinds of veteran imperial merchants controlling them, they are all similar to theirs, they can be snatched from there, even the palace flowers are in charge of theirs. It was nothing more than ordinary court ladies and female officials. Most of the other money-earners were divided among those who were related to the royal relatives. The name of the merchant.

It's all right now, with such a thing, he seems to have seen new hope. Since they can't get what's on the old list, why don't they want to come up with something new, as long as the top can see it, there will be more in the future. A new thing enters the palace, and their faces are also radiant.

Thinking of this, Xue Xun hastily searched for a manager and asked how much the umbrella would cost. He had a good idea, and was waiting to calculate the wages, construction period, and things that would cost him one by one. The total price is only more than 20 taels, which is very cheap. Xue Xun couldn't believe it. After the manager explained it in detail, he understood the key here.

Firstly, although the umbrella surface looks luxurious, in fact, there is not much fabric. After all, it is a parasol, not like an ordinary umbrella. The bigger the better, they strive to be compact, so naturally the materials are saved. It's better, and because it relies on embroidery, there are a few places that can be stitched together, which saves trouble and money. Secondly, the beads on it look extravagant, but they are all small beads, ten taels Several handfuls of silver can be made in one box, and it can save money if purchased in large quantities.Even those inlaid sapphires are mostly thin materials that are not too big or small, waste materials, which are usually useless except for making some ring noodles, so the price is naturally not high, and because several places are just inconspicuous places Actually, you don't need any good jade, ordinary things can also be used.The third is wages. Even if the umbrella maker paid a high wage, this umbrella is only a wage of one hundred cash, which is really affordable.

Xue Xun narrowed his eyes when he heard the cost.For the purchases in the palace, the royal merchants can call ten pennies for things worth one penny. When they get inside, the officials in charge of purchasing hand them up and it becomes one hundred pennies. In the booklet, write down five taels for honest ones, and write ten taels directly for greedy ones. This is why the inner treasury in the palace is often not enough. After a while, money is naturally tight, but those big items, because they are too eye-catching, although the price has gone up, it is not a tenfold increase. Often, 100 taels become 500 taels, and it is the end. The quantity of these expensive general purchases is not as large as these commonly used ones, so after careful calculation, the money earned is not much different.

It’s just that the higher-ups have learned something in the past few years, and the number of purchased things has decreased a lot. In this way, those big items are still good. The amount of ordinary rouge and gouache is more than [-]% less than that of previous years. This is what Xue Xun is anxious about. The reason is that he also has the intention to get into this high-priced thing, but there is no other way.

Now that he had such an umbrella, he reckoned in his heart that it would be extremely simple if he reported it at 200 taels. No one would have imagined that this thing could be so cheap.

Thinking about it this way, he wasn't in a hurry to see what his son made for the little girl of the Lin family, and hurriedly called people to start hoarding those small beads, jade and the like, hoping that when others didn't know the benefits of it, Bring in more bargains.He thought very well, even if the palace doesn't want this thing, if it is made, the rich and wealthy family will want it, how important is this thing!Ordinary people can use it, right?Since it is a wealthy family, then naturally the price will not be low. Why can it be sold for 100 taels? go out.

The pursuit of the rich and powerful is very simple: don't seek the best, but seek the most expensive!

As for ordinary people?He was going to listen carefully to his son this time to see if he had any other ideas. Since it was the only family that made it first, he naturally wanted to catch it all. Sure enough, Xue Pan was his son. ah!A born businessman!After hearing Xue Xun's words, he immediately offered a lot of solutions.

"Students are more noble, um, father, in this way, you use bamboo to make umbrella ribs, such as Xiaoxiang bamboo and purple bamboo, these can be classified into different grades, and then use blue silk as the umbrella surface, embroidered with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, Or something like Chengmen Lixue will do, ah, by the way, those landscapes are also good, but there are a lot of embroidered things, so the price will naturally go up."

Xue Pan stretched out two fat fingers, and touched his tender chin, with a serious face, his eyes were still turning around, no matter how treacherous he looked, Xue Xun didn't know if this was his son for a while. .Fortunately, he was very willing to listen to what Xue Pan said, otherwise Xue Pan's ass would suffer again. What kind of trouble are you in front of me? You think you are a genius Guo Jia!

"It makes sense. Scholars like these things. They can't say that they despise vulgar things like gold and jade. Brother, this method is good. We don't have many other things here. Bamboo is still available. Those who are the lowest, use bamboo. Silk, and then embroidering a few lines of poems on it would be quite interesting.”

Look, the Xue family is not only Xue Xun and Xue Pan who are interested in Qian, but Xue Cheng is also very shrewd, and immediately followed Xue Pan's thinking to give a new plan, a valuable plan.

Xue Xun nodded, looked at his son again, lifted his chin slightly, and said:

"Is there anything else? Say it all soon, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of your gesture?"

He never saves face for his son, and continues to squeeze. Of course, what he can't say is that, in fact, he is very proud to see his son is only seven years old, and he already has a taste of scheming. Such a child, Not everyone can give birth to it, don't you believe it?Do you have it at home?

Xue Pan was not afraid after hearing what his father said, he was used to it, so there was nothing to be afraid of!What a big girl!Acting like a baby is a basic skill and he is very proficient.

"Since we have silk, we should also make some paper, which is cheaper. We use calligraphy and painting paper to paste the fans. I don't know how much cheaper the unusual tung oil paper is. Please finish the calligraphy and painting. Some patterns, such as plum blossoms, pear blossoms, etc., are also possible, so that those who want to be arty can also use them. Wouldn’t it also make a lot of money? After painting a few lines of tung oil, look It’s also quite old-fashioned, and the ordinary light rain won’t ruin it once it gets wet, and we sell it cheaper, so it can be popular in the south of the Yangtze River! The amount of traffic can also make a lot of money. Well, it can be divided into men and women, and it can be Divide the old and the young, in short, the more detailed the better, lest the whole family buy only one, and we will lose money."

Xue Pan became more and more excited as he talked, but in the end, the eyes were full of light, even Xue Xun and Xue Cheng wanted to cover their eyes when they saw it, but Xue Xun took advantage of being the father and kicked him. Xue Pan was interrupted.

"It's done. Let's see what you look like. Hurry up and go to study. Sven, you are a gentleman who wants to be a scribe. It's really embarrassing to look like this."

"Father, it's too unjust for you to cross the river and tear down the bridge."

Seeing that his father was about to lose his temper, Xue Pan ran away immediately after shouting, and waited for Xue Xun to kick again to vent his anger. Xue Pan's round body had already jumped five or six meters, and he could still see it from a distance. To that fat body rolling like a meat ball.

"The brat."

"Brother, are you happy or angry? Do it for me. Hahaha"

"Hahaha!"

Xue Pan also heard the laughter inside, but unfortunately he didn't care at all, he still wanted to see the things for sister Lin, this old man is not as cute as his sister, right?He also has choices.
