It was already the next afternoon when Li Yi got the news about Princess Hui and the monk.
Concubine Hui is the concubine after all, and there are the Cui family and Concubine Cui behind her, and the Chen family and the Shen family did not pursue it later, the queen's final punishment for her was to be grounded for two months, and to copy the "Nv Jing" and "Nv Commandment" Fifty times each, the forbidden place is in a certain palace, and no one is allowed to visit during these two months.
Of course, those two glazed statues would still be counted on King Hui's head in the end, and a total of 100,000 taels of silver was fined without any mercy. Even for a prince, this is not a small sum.
And the punishment for the monk is even more severe. In order to reduce the number of murders, the old emperor has been unwilling to kill people for the past two years. If you work hard, you can also subtract so many years.
This is just a small accident and has nothing to do with the overall situation. The Wang family's colored glaze sale will be held as scheduled in two days. The venue is in the Furong Garden. From today onwards, the whole capital is spreading the news. This time, there will definitely be more dignitaries , more monks went, and those wealthy businessmen in Kyoto who were not high-status but had a lot of money were also invited.
With such a large scale and battle, everyone couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, how much colored glaze did the Wang family buy from Fanbang merchants, why didn't they hear any news before
The whole capital is looking for foreign merchants, but those people seem to have disappeared suddenly, and everyone can only focus on the colored glaze sale of the Wang family two days later.
Li Yi's eyes were on Miss Liu Er.
"Out of money again?"
He almost jumped up from his chair and asked, "It's only been a few days? The four thousand taels of silver will be gone. What are you doing with that money?"
Miss Liu Er hugged her sword and said, "It's what you said about recruiting troops."
"Are you really using it to recruit soldiers?" Li Yi was skeptical.
"Money can make ghosts, that's what you said." Second Miss Liu looked at him and said, "Naturally, more money is needed to recruit soldiers and horses."
"How much do you want this time?" Li Yi asked after thinking about it.
If it is used for serious things, of course he will not be stingy.
"Three thousand taels."
Li Yi thought for a while and said, "I'll give you one hundred thousand taels."
"How many?"
Second Miss Liu put down her sword, looked at him and asked.
"One hundred thousand taels." Li Yi repeated.
Making money is for spending, and the money is kept at home and needs to be taken out to dry after a while. Anyway, a large amount of money will come into the account in two days, so it's better to be more generous all at once.
Miss Liu Er showed vigilance on her face, and asked, "Did you do something behind my sister's back?"
After Li Yi was stunned, he waved his hand and said, "Three thousand taels, you can go to the cashier and get it yourself."
Li Yi still doesn't know how courageous Miss Liu Er is. Let alone one hundred thousand taels, even if he is given one million taels, she can spend it all in a short time.
However, right now he doesn't know what kind of behemoth he will create in the future because of this one hundred thousand taels of silver, plus a stingy martial arts leader...
When Miss Liu Er was about to go to the accounting room, Li Yi waved her hand and said, "Just in time, there is another new task for you to complete in the organization..."

…
Jinyu Pavilion is the largest jewelry store in Jingguo. It mainly sells jewelry and precious utensils. It has branches in every state capital of Jingguo.
Although it was not stated explicitly, everyone knew that the people behind the scenes controlling the Jinyu Pavilion were the famous Cui family.
Kyoto is a gathering place for powerful officials of the Jing Kingdom and wealthy businessmen, so the Cui family attaches great importance to this place. The shopkeeper who guards the Jinyu Pavilion in Jingdu is a core member of the Cui family who is proficient in business.
A young man walked around to the back room and said to the middle-aged man who was sitting there sipping tea: "Third uncle, someone came to ask again today if we have any glazed wares here. There are obviously two more in the storeroom. They The price given is also high, why don't we sell it?"
"What do you know?" The middle-aged man put down his teacup and said, "Your Majesty just held a colored glaze appreciation meeting, and the Wang family will also sell a large number of colored glazes. By then, most people will have colored glazes in their hands. What do you think?"
The young man asked suspiciously: "Scarcity is the most expensive thing. At that time, won't the price of colored glaze come down?"
"Things are rare and expensive, but glass is in short supply, so how can the price go down?" The middle-aged man smiled and said: "At that time, those people will only be even crazier..."
Just as the young man was about to ask, he suddenly frowned and turned around to take a look. There was a loud voice coming from the front hall.
"Second Uncle, I'll go ahead and take a look." The young man said, and strode forward.
"Go away, you beggars, don't disturb our Jinyu Pavilion's business." A clerk of Jinyu Pavilion said impatiently: "If you don't leave, I won't be polite."
Opposite him, stood a few people dressed in strange and ragged clothes.
"What's going on?" The young man came out from behind and asked with a frown.
Seeing the young man come out, the man immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "Master, there are some beggars here, and the villain is planning to drive them out!"
"There are guests coming in, go get busy, I'll tell them." Seeing someone coming in from outside, the young man pointed at him and said.
"My lord, these people..." The guy seemed to want to say something.
"Go." The young man waved his hand, and the guy had no choice but to leave.
The young man looked at those people and said, "You beggars, there is nothing I can give you here, hurry up and go."
A beggar at the front looked at him, his face seemed a little anxious, and said: "%￥#%￥#@@!…"
The young man was startled, and asked, "What did you just say?"
"%￥#%￥#@@!..." The expression on the man's face became even more anxious.
The young master finally realized something, a trace of anger appeared on his face, and he said: "You bastard, how dare you play tricks on me, come here, and drive them out!"
"Wait!"
A voice suddenly came from behind, the middle-aged man stepped forward, looked at those people suspiciously, and asked, "Are you from Fanbang?"
Then he seemed to realize something, and asked again: "Do any of you understand Chinese?"
"I… "
Behind a few people, a man with disheveled hair, a thin body, and a look that is obviously different from ordinary people came out, and said stammeringly: "I, I understand, understand a little bit, what you say..."
"Are you from Fanbang?" The middle-aged man asked with a look of joy on his face.
"No!" The man opposite said with a proud expression on his face, "I, we come from the great... Great Britain, Great Britain and... the United Kingdom of Northern Ireland, the United Kingdom..., the Empire on which the sun never sets..."
The middle-aged man showed excitement on his face. He didn't care what crazy country those people came from, the country where the sun never sets, just by looking at their appearance, poor Chinese, and the few big boxes behind them, he knew that these people were very It may be - a foreign businessman!
The Fanbang businessman that the whole of Kyoto is looking for!
The middle-aged man suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "You guys, what are you doing here?"
"We have a lot, Liuli, and we want to sell them to you."
The man said something, turned around and waved to the people behind him. Immediately, someone opened the two large boxes. The middle-aged man took a look inside, and his eyes straightened immediately.
I saw that in those boxes, glazed wares were piled up randomly like ordinary porcelain, and after a cursory glance, there were probably dozens of pieces in this one box, and the two boxes combined...
He rushed forward with a stride, closed the box, turned around and said loudly to the staff: "Seeing off customers, close the door, Jinyu Pavilion is not open for business today!"
