MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 804 Intend

  Huo Xi only smiled, but didn't speak.

Xiangcao beside him said to Wan Enyi, Wanlong's owner: "Don't be nervous, the whole Yushi Street probably knows how this cart of stones came from. Our wife will send this cart of stones to Jiushengxing Jieshi, isn't it?" Does it embarrass his family? The Wandong family thinks that Master Jieshi of his family is looking forward to being cut down or to be cut up?"

  Uh...seems to make sense.

  The stone materials sent by Jiu Shengxing must be compensation for Mrs. Shizi. After all, more than 200,000 taels are gone. The things that were sent out were sent back to his house to solve the stone? It's really not a cut down, nor a cut up.

Seeing that he understood, Xiangcao said, "Besides, our wife heard that your son and son-in-law have all gone to Yangzhou to learn jade carving from a master jade craftsman. Although your family has a small face, it is also well-known in Yushi Street. Everyone likes jade ornaments very much. Our wife also came here especially for the name."

  Wan Enyi was very happy to hear that, he didn't expect his wife to know that there is a good jade craftsman in his family.

  He looked proud: "I'm not bragging. My son has learned jade carving in Yangzhou since he was a child. There is nothing to say about his craftsmanship. My son-in-law's family has been jade craftsmen for generations."

   It is also because of their craftsmanship that the family shop can gain a foothold in Yushi Street.

   "Then madam wants to sell the jade to my family?" Excited and looking forward to it.

  His family does not have a mine, and the materials selected are leftovers from others. If they can find good materials, with the skills of his son and son-in-law, his family can go to a higher level. If Mrs. Shizi's cart of stones is cut out green and sold to him, then...

  Can't help rubbing his hands excitedly.

   Could the stone materials that Jiu Shengxing compensated Mrs. Shizi be bad?

  Huo Xi nodded, "Exactly. If there is a good material, it will be carved by your family. Whether to sell it to you or send it to your family for consignment, we will talk about it at that time."

   "Okay, okay, the old man will thank Madam first." While saluting, he raised his voice and ordered the shop assistants to push the stones.

  Since Huo Xi led people to push a cart of stones from the street, people on Yushi Street followed to watch the fun. The meeting was going to be held in Wanlong's shop to explain the stone, and they all expressed their desire to stay and watch.

  With Huo Xi's approval, Wan Enyi also agreed to open the backyard gate and let everyone come in to watch Jieshi.

   Soon, when the news reached Xuan Yi, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Mrs. Shizi would push another cart of stones to Yushi Street to unravel the stones. And he didn't choose him.

  My heart was a little complicated, and fortunately I let out a long breath.

   Fortunately, he listened to his father and elder brother's persuasion, and chose a carload of good materials. If it was found out in public that it would be a carload of waste, how would his family behave?

  The shop can’t keep going, right?

  Can the prince endure his family's repeated deception?

   Hastily rushed to the Wanlong shop, "Madam."

   "Oh, Master Xuan."

Huo Xi waited for him to finish the salute, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has gone to deal with government affairs. I was bored for a while, thinking about how the Shaodong family taught me how to see and touch stones yesterday, so I couldn't help but pull this cart of stones to solve it. Look. I haven't caused any trouble to the Young Master's family, have I?"

  Xu Yi hurriedly waved her hand, "Madam is too serious. Anything given to Madam belongs to Madam, and Madam should handle it herself."

Huo Xi nodded, "My husband and I have never gambled with stones. This is the first time. But we have heard that the jade in Yunnan is famous as early as in the capital. In the taxes of Yunnan, jade alone is the most There are a lot of taxes. Everyone here has contributed a lot to the taxes of the Dian. My son and I are very grateful."

   "Don't dare not dare. Madam is serious."

  Besides, whether they were opening a shop, or came to gamble on stones to buy jade, they all exported. According to Mrs. Shizi, all of them present have contributed to the taxation of Yunnan.

  When Mrs. Shizi said this, they were quite...proud?

   Mrs. Shizi can still speak. It makes people feel comfortable listening.

  Wan Enyi is like a spring breeze. He is a jade merchant, but he did not expect that in the eyes of his son and his wife, they also made contributions to Yunnan!

  Decided not to charge any fee for Shizi's wife's cart of stones. His family doesn't take any money from what the wife wants to carve, and they also help with lighting candles and boiling wax.

  Huo Xi was very satisfied with the reactions of everyone present.

   and said: "Now that the new year's festival is approaching, my son and I have lived in the capital for a long time, and it is rare to return to Yunnan. I am grateful, but I don't know how to express it..."

Looking at the cart of stones, "If this cart of stones is cut up, please ask Wanlong's master to carve it out, and the money from the sale will be used to give back to the people of Kunming City. Repair the main roads, and then dig a few more wells in the densely populated areas of the city to provide free water to the people in the city.”

  Huo Xi opened a workshop in the city, and already knows Kunming city very well.

  Regardless of the people in the inner and outer cities, there are only a few people who have wells in their homes. Most people go to the public wells in the city to get water, and a load of water costs two coins. If the family has a large population, it will cost a lot of copper coins for water and water for a month.

  Besides, few wells have been dug, and we have to line up to fetch water, and some of them are far away. In winter and rainy days, we have to line up and pick all the way back, suffering and suffering.

   "Thank you, son, thank you madam!"

  After hearing Huo Xi's words, everyone paused for a moment, and after they came to their senses, they thanked each other wave after wave. Not all the people present were rich and powerful, and many people also had to spend money to buy water to drink.

   Besides, the prince still needs to build roads! From now on, it will be more convenient for everyone to travel.

   "Thank you, son, thank you madam!"

  Huo Xi smiled, his eyes stopped everyone from thanking him one after another.

"It's not worth thanking. As members of Kunming City, my son and I should do it for the common people. It doesn't matter even if this cart of stones is cut, my son and I will transfer the silver taels from the private treasury. Get those two things done."

   "The prince and his wife are righteous! Count me in too!"

   "Count me in too! I also do something for the people."

   "That's right, count me in!"

  Many people present expressed their willingness to contribute. If Huo Xi hadn't stopped them, they would have paid for it on the spot.

  When everyone in the Mu Mansion heard about this, they had different reactions.

  Mu Ang called his five sons to him, and in front of all the sons, he scolded Mu Xi all over his face, mainly talking about a series of stupid things he said in the meeting hall in the morning.

"Do you still have dignity in your eyes! To the prince, look at what nonsense you said this morning! You have a good relationship with Mu Zhan, but you don't need to go along with him to step on the prince! Are you promising, or madness?"

   Mu Ang was a little tired.

  Mu's fourth family member, his third family has the most sons, the second family only has Mu Zhan as an assistant to the second elder brother to handle political affairs, the fourth family stays in the capital, and Dian still relies on their third family.

Look at his five sons, since he was young, he has invited famous teachers to teach them literary and martial arts. When they grow up, they must all have literary and military skills in their hearts, and they are all talents that need to be used. .

   But the big one is so stupid that he has no edge.

   And still talk to him.

   "Father, although the second elder brother is the eldest son, he will return to Beijing to be his proton at any time. How dare I offend my elder brother for him? That would be really stupid."
