My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 180 Xu Qin's Purpose

Zhu Gaosui was very interested in Xu Qin's proposal, but he didn't know how to do it.

"Third cousin, you can recruit some craftsmen to make the handicrafts available on the market with better quality. I guess your palace has a good accountant, so let the accountant do the math and see what the cost is.

If the cost is too high, it means poor management and the people doing the work may not be familiar with it, so give them some time to improve. If it still doesn't work, it means there are technical problems with the craftsmen and you just need to continue looking for good craftsmen.

However, you cannot do such things yourself. You need to find someone to help you manage it. Otherwise, if those civil officials find out, you will be in trouble.

Also, if those civil officials knew about what happened today, they would probably impeach you. If all else fails, you can find your third sister-in-law's family and let them do it. You can give them 10% or 20% of the share. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can only do handicrafts. If you have other things, you can do them as well.

But to be clear, you can only do one. After all, the Trade Bureau will do it itself in the future, and His Majesty also needs to maintain profits. If you do all of them and His Majesty finds out, you will be in trouble. I guess His Majesty will confiscate all your workshops, and you will lose money by then. "Xu Qin said to Zhu Gaosui with a smile.

The reason why Xu Qin helped Zhu Gaosui was that he wanted to disintegrate the power of the King of Han. If the King of Han really wanted to rebel at that time, Zhu Gaosui would consider that his family was large and powerful, and if the boss treated him well, he would not join the rebellion.

Even though Prince Zhao seems to have no military power, he is in charge of the defense of the capital. Although Zhu Di is above him, Prince Zhao can still place a few people in there.

If Zhu Di is gone by then, these few people will be very important, so Xu Qin wants to win over Zhu Gaosui, and at the same time make Zhu Gaosui cautious at that time. With so much money, Zhu Gaosui knows very well who the second brother is, and by then the money will probably go into the hands of the second brother.

Another thing is that when the second brother knows that the third brother is so rich, he will probably ask the third brother for money. He doesn't know what kind of person the third brother is, so he doesn't dare to get angry if Zhu Di asks for his money. But if the second brother asks for his money, it's okay once, but if he asks too much, Zhu Gaosui will definitely get angry.

Zhu Gaosui was a person of small vision, who just liked to take advantage of others. If the second brother took advantage of him, would he agree? He would want to kill the second brother first.

"You're right. I'll listen to you. You'll have to help me with some advice when the time comes. You know, I have quite a few children, and I'm sure I'll have more. That means I'll have to spend more money. Plus, my father is here now, so I can still stay in the capital. But when my eldest brother gets promoted, I won't be able to stay in the capital anymore.

So I also need to make some money! Once I go to the fiefdom, I will also need money, right? There is actually not much money to be made from the fiefdom. If I don’t consider myself, I also need to consider my sons, right? "Zhu Gaosui was very happy to hear Xu Qin say this, and he also told Xu Qin some truth.

"Who doesn't do something for his son? Right? Although my father is confined at home now, he is the one who helps with everything from making cloth before to repairing the mansion now. Otherwise, would I have so much time to go out?" Xu Qin said with a smile.

"That's true, but you have to help." Zhu Gaosui said to Xu Qin with a smile.

"It's a small problem, but as long as I'm in the Trade Bureau, there will be no problem with your goods. But even if I leave the Trade Bureau in the future, I don't think anyone would dare to cut off your source of income unless His Majesty gives an order." Xu Qin said with a smile.

"That's right. If my elder brother doesn't let me make money, I will go to him. I will go to him every day and annoy him to death." Zhu Gaosui said proudly when he heard it.

In the evening, Xu Qin had dinner at Prince Zhao's mansion and talked about how to do business.

After Xu Qin returned, Princess Zhao also came out. Zhu Gaosui immediately said to her, "You heard what I just said to Shijiabao, didn't you? Do you think you can do it?"

"Yes, Shakyabao will cheat you, it's useless. Besides, if you really lose the money, as Shakyabao said, you go to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will probably ask Shakyabao for help, so this can be done, and, Your Majesty, this matter must be done well.

Don't just focus on handicrafts, you also need to find out what has the highest profit, and then go to Shakyabao and ask if he can do it. If he says he can do it, then you go and do it.

Master, we will have to return to our fiefdom sooner or later. Now your father and mother dote on you, so you need to earn more money. When you return to your fiefdom in the future, it will not be so easy to make money.

Although my eldest brother is kind, he also has many sons, and it will not be your turn to run those businesses in the future. You should make more money now.

And if the Trade Bureau makes money in the future, I guess my father won't ask you for money like this, and he won't be embarrassed to ask for it. "Princess Zhao nodded and said seriously.

"Really? I think I can do it too." King Zhao said happily when he heard the princess agreed.

"Well, you should spend more time with Sakyabao in the future. Although Sakyabao likes to fight, he is very loyal. Such a person can be a friend." Princess Zhao said to Zhu Gaosui. "I know, but as for my second brother, hey! Actually, I also feel that what happened back then is very strange. My second brother hates my uncle so much, there is nothing I can do about it." The King of Zhao sighed and said.

"Anyway, I feel that you don't need to be so close to your second brother. It may not be a good thing. Father is in his prime, and your eldest brother also has the support of civil officials. If Shakyabao supports your eldest brother, your second brother may not have a chance.

Sakyabao is good at fighting, and he is as good as my second brother. Of course, I don't know much about fighting, but Sakyabao is also from a family of military generals. If my father doesn't want to replace my eldest brother, he will definitely train Sakyabao, such as letting Sakyabao command the troops, train the troops, and lead the troops to fight, so as to improve Sakyabao's ability. "Princess Zhao told Zhu Gaosui her thoughts.

After hearing this, Zhu Gaosui thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What the princess said makes sense. It is indeed true. If Shajiabao leads the troops, he will have a great advantage. Many of my second brother's subordinates are my grandfather's old subordinates, and some are my uncle's subordinates. If Shajiabao enters the military camp, I guess those former subordinates will have some ideas."

"It's good that you know. Of course, I'm not asking you to cut off contact with your second brother. You are the youngest and can't afford to offend anyone, so don't offend anyone. If they want to fight, it's their business. Don't interfere." Princess Zhao said to Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui nodded and made up his mind.

In the next few days, Xu Qin was busy with glass products, and at this moment, mirrors were already being sold. Xu Qin's family had already bought quite a few shops, so Xu Qin asked my mother for a shop, and then asked her to arrange a few maids to sell mirrors in that shop.

In the past few days, the news of the silver mirror has been spreading in the capital. Now that the Xu family’s store has opened, there is a queue immediately!
The stock was sold out at noon. The mirrors that Xu Qin had been making for such a long time were all sold out at noon. However, the most popular ones were the small mirrors worth 100 wen and 500 wen, which were also affordable for ordinary people.

In the evening, when Xu Qin returned home, he was called over by his mother.

At this moment, there were not many things in the living room. My mother, Mrs. Li, had chosen a date to move three days later, so many things in the living room had been moved to the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

"Mother!" Xu Qin came in and bowed to Li.

"Baoer, come and sit down!" Li said very happily. Of course he was happy. Just today, he earned 220,000 taels of silver, 40% of which belonged to his family, which was more than 80,000 taels. Now he had no worries about selling it.

"Mom, what are you so happy about? By the way, how are the mirrors selling?" Xu Qin asked with a smile.

"It's fine. Mother came to you to talk about this. They were sold out at noon. I asked the servants to go to the workshop, and they said there weren't many left. They brought them all here. Can you ask them to make them faster?" Li said to Xu Qin with a smile.

"Mom, it's the carpenter who can't win, and our carpenter is already very fast. This is the amount we can produce every day. But it doesn't matter. It may just sell better these few days, and the sales volume will drop in the future. It doesn't matter!" Xu Qin was happy when he heard that they were all sold out.

However, Xu Qin did not plan to continue recruiting carpenters. There was no need. The silver mirror had just come out and was considered a rare item, but over time, it would become an ordinary item.

Besides, in my own mirror workshop, carpenters now make those mirror frames on an assembly line, and the speed has increased several times.

"Okay, it's just that mother is happy to see that the sales are so good. By the way, the mirrors have been made. Why do you go to that workshop every day?" Li continued to ask.

"There are still other things that haven't been finished yet." Xu Qin said with a smile.

"Also, okay, okay, now our family is spending money like water. We have built a new mansion, bought a lot of good things, and also bought red wood. All the furniture in the house also needs to be remade. The furniture in the Duke of Wei's mansion cannot be moved to the new mansion. Besides, I don't think five million taels will be enough.

You two are good at spending money, and your father is the same. Now he buys the best things. "Li complained with a smile, but it was just a simple complaint. Li knew very well that if there was money in the family, it should be spent. If too much was left, it would be dangerous.

"Well, it's okay. There must be enough money at home. If not, I will find a way." Xu Qin said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go eat. Remember, we are moving the day after tomorrow, so don't forget it in a hurry!" Li said with a smile.

In the palace, Zhu Di was also looking at the reports from the Embroidered Uniform Guard, including the grand scene of Xu Qin's mirror shop. It was written that this shop sold nearly 200,000 taels of silver a day and was sold out.
