The Reborn Wife is Farming
Chapter 940
Fan Zijin couldn't understand Mu Yangling's method and principle of running Fengshou Grain Shop and Zhuangzi, but it was their own property, and he would at most sarcastically say a few words beside him, and would not interfere, just like they would not manage his own property Any comments on the same.
But this time, Mu Yangling is going to open the workshop, and she obviously has to take charge of it personally. If he takes a share, no matter whether the thing can be made in the end, he will definitely not like Mu Yangling's management and the way of operation, and Mu Yangling is sure. I couldn't accept his method, so in the end the two of them would definitely quarrel, just like when they were young.
But now it's not a child, at least Mu Yangling can no longer throw him in the mud just because he can't quarrel with him, and he can't find a way to scold people out of their minds just to win.
So in order not to let Haoran be caught in the middle and get angry, and in order not to destroy the relationship between the two families, let her make troubles by herself.
Of course, in order to prevent himself from losing more money, Fan Zijin really had no hope for Mu Yangling to toss these two things.
In his opinion, Daqi has a vast land and abundant resources, porcelain, tea and silk, just these three things can continuously earn gold and silver from foreigners, why take the risk to study glass and clocks?
When Qi Haoran returned home and saw the silver ingots piled up in the warehouse, he became happy, "Ah Ling, where did our family get the silver? Didn't you say that there are only more than 800 taels left in our house?"
"That's right, I borrowed it from Zijin. I only wanted to borrow two thousand taels, but Zijin seemed to distrust my ability, so he gave me twenty thousand taels immediately."
Qi Haoran was stunned, and asked, "Did you borrow money from Zijin?"
Mu Yangling nodded, "I plan to build two workshops. My family has no money, so I can only borrow from Zijin."
Qi Haoran took a sneak look at Mu Yangling's expression, and said, "Since you only need two thousand taels, then give me the remaining eighteen thousand taels."
Mu Yangling looked at him curiously, "Why do you want so much money?"
Qi Haoran rubbed his nose and said, "I'm negotiating a business with Andre, and I need some money."
Mu Yangling was even more surprised, "You know how to do business? Don't be fooled by Andre. What are you going to buy with him?"
"cannon."
Mu Yangling: "..."
Mu Yangling asked him with a dull face, "Don't tell me that you wanted to borrow money from Zijin before."
Qi Haoran nodded, "Didn't you say that the family has no money?"
Mu Yangling looked at him without saying a word.
Qi Haoran tried to persuade her, "What kind of workshop do you want to set up, so you can't push it back? I heard that Andre can get their latest cannon from foreigners in England. I want to send one to Beijing to the Ministry of Industry and The officials of the Ministry of War researched and studied to see if they could make a cannon."
"That should also be funded by the treasury."
"The Minister of the Household Department said that I owe it first, and my master is going to court with him, but don't worry, if it takes two months at most, or one month at least, I will definitely ask the Ministry of Households to transfer the money, and the money owed will be repaid at that time." Now, the key is that Andre is going back to his country in a hurry, and he will be leaving in half a month, so I have to pay him a deposit first..."
"Wait," Mu Yangling asked, "How much does he sell you for a cannon?"
"50,000 taels, a deposit of 20,000 taels." Qi Haoran said proudly, "It took me a lot of effort to negotiate the price."
Mu Yang was so angry that he beat Qi Haoran out, and said: "Do you know how much silver is fifty thousand taels? The total investment of my two workshops is only two thousand taels. Zijin also said that I am a prodigal son. You're a prodigal son, come out for me, or keep the price down, or you won't be allowed to buy it."
Mu Yangling was about to go crazy. The purchasing power of silver is very strong. Calculated by the currency of grain, one tael of silver is equivalent to more than two hundred yuan in the 1980s and 1990s in the previous life. A cannon actually costs more than 10 million. Now it is a rare item, and it cannot be so expensive.
Fifty thousand taels can almost relieve a county in a natural disaster, and Andre is like a lion, it is too much.
Qi Haoran was kicked out, he scratched his head, Da Qi had never bought a cannon, he had no price to learn from, and Andre offered a price of 60,000 taels, he felt that he could hold down 10,000 taels is already very powerful, A Ling was still not satisfied.
Qi Haoran went to Fan Zijin with a little grievance, and complained: "This cannon is not jewelry, spices, etc., it is a strategic material. If Andre wants to make a cannon, he must do it up and down. If it is me, Daqi, who can do it?" If you dare to get cannons from the Ministry of War to the foreign barbarians, you can kill his whole family, since the other party takes such a big risk, isn't it natural that the price should be higher?"
Fan Zijin kicked the person out directly, and said bitterly: "Do you know how much 50,000 taels can do? Last time you took 20,000 taels from me, you can support the Guangdong Navy for a year. In your eyes, 50,000 taels can only buy one cannon?"
Fan Zijin beat the man out, and said to Yanmo angrily, "How did Mu Yangling act as the mistress of the palace? Make him look like he doesn't know the suffering of the people."
Yan Mo coughed lightly, and said something fair for the princess, "The prince has never been short of money since he was a child, and it is normal for him not to know how to be frugal."
The prince always said that he was short of money, but he was never lenient when it came to spending money. When he said frugality, he would save small money like rewards at most. The reason why the prince is like this is not because the emperor and the Duke are used to it.
In the past, there was no money in the pocket, and the Duke would take the initiative to fill it up. The emperor would give the prince pocket money from time to time. Now that there is no money in the pocket, the princess will make up for it first. If not, just talk to the Duke. Even if you squeeze it from yourself, you can squeeze it out for him, and the emperor rewards some gold and silver from time to time.
So it's really no wonder the princess is like this. Yanmo expressed his thoughts to Fan Zijin with his eyes.
Fan Zijin's anger turned towards Andre, and he said through gritted teeth: "The foreign barbarians are so treacherous, but they are just cannons. It is unreasonable to bully Haoran and raise the price without knowing the price."
Fan Zijin flicked his sleeves, pushed Yanmo away and walked out, Yanmo followed with an expression of "as expected".
Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling were sitting in the carriage planning to have a good talk with Andre.
When Qi Haoran was kicked out by Fan Zijin, he was thinking about whether he would go back on his word and go to Andre to repent, but was caught by Mu Yangling who was going out.
Mu Yangling thought about it, but he was still afraid that Qi Haoran would suffer, so he planned to talk to Andre in person, but Fan Zijin stopped the two people's carriage before they started. Ask Mu Yangling, "Have you inquired about the price of the cannon?"
"No." Mu Yangling shook his head.
Fan Zijin tapped his knee and said, "Zhou De asked about it when he went to Western Ocean. Although he didn't find out the exact price, he calculated that the retired cannon is about 5,000 silver. It is a new style of cannon from England," Fan Zijin said. He sneered, "Let's not talk about whether what Andre got is a new type of cannon, even if it is, the price can't be so different all of a sudden, Haoran, you are not allowed to talk nonsense when it arrives later."
