Chapter 99 Still has to go up
The three of them looked at each other thoughtfully.
Master Xu couldn't help but ask: "Who is that person outside?"
Xie Yuyan said: "Have you ever heard of the Xie family of Daming Prefecture?"
Mr. Xu suddenly realized that anyone who knew Mrs. Xie’s origins would naturally know her involvement with the Xie family. If the Xie family had not bought her, she would not have married into the Yang family and was almost killed. But they didn't know that Mrs. Xie and the Xie family had reached this point.
"Xie's rice shop and porcelain shop are both famous in the north, especially the porcelain shop. Although it is not as good as Xingzhou's white porcelain, it still sells well in the market."
After knowing this, Mr. Zheng said worriedly: "Then this time... is there any way for the lady to escape?"
A contemptuous smile.
Among the three of them, Mr. Zheng is the most meticulous. He reminds his two brothers of anything on weekdays. He sees a lot and thinks a lot. He can come back to his senses immediately when encountering something, even if he may not even know it at the time. I didn't even understand the reason. Now he had a feeling that his question just now was very stupid.
Xie Yuyan said: "It should be that they can't escape."
From the beginning to the end, Mr. Xie was not plotting against her, but she was always playing tricks on Mr. Xie.
So...who should be afraid?
Xie Yuyan stood up and said, "Let's take a rest for a while. Food will be prepared in the village soon and we will invite you three to the banquet."
Xie Yuyan turned around and was about to walk out when the sun just came through the window. , she pointed at the mottled light and shadow on the ground.
"Instead of waiting for the light to reach your feet..."
Xie Yuyan did not continue speaking, turned around and stepped out of the room.
After a long time, the three of them looked at each other.
Mr. Xu asked: "What do you mean by what Madam Xie just said?"
Mr. Zhao didn't want to understand, but Mr. Zheng next to him stretched out his hand and pushed away the person next to him. window.
The cold wind rushed in all of a sudden, and the three of them shivered.
Fourth Master Xu frowned: "In such a cold weather, you..."
The words stopped abruptly.
The sunshine outside fell on his shoulders without any hindrance.
So this is what Lady Xie said.
Instead of waiting for the light to reach your feet, it is better to reach out and open the window yourself. It's not that there isn't enough light outside, it's that they are too intimidated.
He was actually looked down upon by a teenage woman.
This Lady Xie is different from what they thought. Before she came, she just wanted to finish dealing with it and go home quickly, but now they want to stay and see what means Lady Xie can use to deal with Mrs. Xie like this. of wealthy families.
......
Xie Chongjun did not leave Sanhe Village. He wanted to wait for the documents from the court to be brought and watch the mine be reopened with his own eyes.
The villagers and employees in Sanhe Village should not be idle. The court has issued an official order, and they can only work hard here until the mine is cleaned up with their own hands.
"Master," the steward came over quickly, "Xie Yuyan divided the wages of the employees and let them go home."
Is this because he is afraid of catching them for labor?
Xie Chongjun said: "People in Sanhe Village can't leave. Monks who can run away can't escape from the temple."
"The men in Sanhe Village are also packing their things." The steward pursed his lips, " I heard that they are going to the outside of Beicheng with Mrs. Xie.”
Xie Chongjun’s heart sank: “What are they going to do?”
The steward whispered: "I'm going to Beicheng to mine, and I have to help make lotus root charcoal."
At this point, the steward paused intentionally, and then continued: "Those three people from outside, I I also went to ask, they all have coal mines, Madam Xie agreed to sell lotus root charcoal with them, but as for how to sell it... I haven't asked yet."
Xie Chongjun has been in business for many years, so there are some things that need not be said. It was too clear that when Xie Yuyan approached those three people, he just offered them the same conditions as the family in Beicheng, which was to teach them how to make lotus root charcoal and share the profits with them. Even if the Beicheng deal fails, she can still make money elsewhere. Xie was beyond reach in Daming Mansion and was helpless for a while.
The steward whispered: "I'm afraid that before our mine is cleaned up, those few people will have to sign documents with Mrs. Xie. By then... even if the court takes back this land, Xie The eldest lady can also rely on the business with these people to start over.”
As long as the source of money is not cut off, the money lost will be earned back sooner or later.
Before, Xie Chongjun only wanted to stop the Beicheng family, but now he wants to stop four families together.
Xie Yuyan seems to be covered with thorns. He is right in front of you, but you can't slap him down.
The steward doesn’t know what to say. Has the elder ever been tortured like this? The Xie family has trade routes and shops, and no one will give the Xie family a hard time in this regard.
Xie Yuyan's business is coal mine. The Xie family has never been involved in this. At present, they don't dare to use their connections in the west in a big way. Even the prefect Liu can't really come forward to support the Xie family and do it all. , but was led by Xie Yuyan.
Xie Yuyan took people to Beicheng, but the elder had to freeze here, waiting for the government office to dig the mine.
The most disgusting thing is that the villagers of Sanhe Village have cleaned up the yard and cannot find a single charcoal pot or mud stove.
Thinking about this, a scent of fragrance came from the village, and then all the young and old in the village walked to a yard, and soon there was laughter and laughter in the yard.
......
Xie Yuyan took a nap in the carriage, and the raccoon slave curled up in her arms, snoring loudly in his sleep.
The carriage left the north city gate.
Meng Jiu and the others also spoke slightly louder.
“They have to dig for three to five days without sleeping.”
“My wooden wedge is so strong that unless the mouth of the mine is doubled, it will never be dug out.”
“They will know after they try it.”
Three days were enough for Xie Yuyan to arrange everything.
The carriage stopped, and someone immediately came up to meet it. It was the "owner" of the land in Beicheng.
The "master" stepped forward and whispered: "Madam, only the Xie family has left."
Xie Yuyan nodded. Xie Chongjun never imagined that this piece of land had been bought by Xie Qi a long time ago and given to her. Now she holds the title deed of this piece of land in her hands. Otherwise, she would never have spent so much effort to persuade the owner to sell the land to her. he.
Speaking of it, her stage was set up by three families. She, Xie Qi and the Wang family who later joined, no matter who tried to investigate, they could not find any clues.
After several people entered the house, "Master" Cheng Qi said: "I heard that the Yamen went to Sanhe Village. I was anxious but couldn't go to see it. I wonder what's going on now?"
Xie Yuyan said: "Three days later. It’s all right.”
So the matter must be completed within three days.
Cheng Qi thought for a moment: "Then should we lower the price per acre of land?" Taking advantage of this moment, he worked hard to help the Xie family decide to buy the land.
Xie Yuyan shook his head: "It cannot fall, but it must rise."
Cheng Qi was surprised.
Xie Yuyan said: "The more Xie Chongjun invests in this matter, the less he can lose. His face, the eldest son's lawsuit, the connections used in management, and even what he said in front of the magistrate and county magistrate Words..."
"He can't leave any of them behind."
"It has increased to sixty pounds per acre. The coal mine underground is worth this price. Besides, he is unwilling to give up. Go and ask others to get more people into the water. Didn’t I teach him how to do this deal?” The whole lotus root charcoal business becomes his, and he will agree.”
"If he is willing to add more money, you can also sell him the secret lotus root charcoal recipe you got from me."
