Chapter 2071 Confused
After walking out for a while and seeing that Xu Fang did not catch up, Manager Shen became even more angry. Before getting on the carriage, he specifically turned back to look at Xu Fang.
Xu Fang saw Manager Shen looking at him and understood Manager Shens intention. It was just that things went wrong and he wanted the Xu family to give the Shen family an explanation, but...
Why should the Xu family explain to the Shen family? !
The Xu family is a new noble, and the Marquis has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands. He can overthrow the Chu Dynasty and become the new emperor at any time if he likes.
The Shen family is just the husband's family of the eldest princess of the founding of the country. The eldest princess of the founding of the country has died until her bones turned to dust. Do you still want the Xu family to bow to the Shen family? Oh, dreaming!
Xu Fang ignored Manager Shen and turned his back directly, facing Manager Shen with the back of his head.
Manager Shen was so angry that he was trembling... OK, OK, OK, you, the Xu family, are so arrogant that even a servant dares to show shame to the Shen family.
Okay, he will not persuade the prince anymore. The prince will do whatever he wants to do with the Xu family!
"Let's go." Manager Shen got on the carriage and asked the driver to drive away.
After Manager Shen left, Xu Fang did not want to continue to lose face. He turned to leave, but was stopped by Qi Yi: "Sir Xu, you have been away from the Yamen for only half a month, and you have been squeezed by a lot of official work. You will have to farm in the next few months. You must quickly do things such as counting the labor force in and outside the city, clearing canals, digging ditches, spreading pesticides to attract insects, etc., and don't delay spring plowing."
After Xu Fang heard this, a murderous look flashed in his eyes... Damn Qi Yi, he was given these thankless jobs every time. Farming was the most important, and the jobs with the most oil and water, such as grain planting and cattle farming, were not assigned to him. He went to clear the canals and kill insects, which was exhausting work. If he wasn't careful, poisonous insects might get into his body, and his life would be in jeopardy!
However, Xu Fang did not have the title of Jinshi. He was allowed to serve as an official in the government office because of Xu You. Qi Yi did not kick him out of the government office, which was already a favor to the Xu family. He did not dare to contradict Qi Yi in public affairs. .
Xu Fang turned around, bowed with a smile, and said respectfully: "Yes, I'll go back to the Yamen now and finish my official business."
However, as soon as he spoke, those dandy boys from the capital remembered him and deliberately asked him: "Master Xu, I see that your porcelain is quite good, how do you sell it? I want to buy more. , can you sell your home cheaper?
These words were said as casually as buying soybeans on the street, which made Xu Fang very angry...Why didn't you bargain with Zhong He when you bought porcelain? Each one promised a high price, and some even promised gold instead of silver.
Take the gold and beg for porcelain, and then lower the price when you get to the Xu family, you bastard!
Xu Fang stayed up in the Meng family porcelain kiln for less than half a month. He didn't get enough sleep every day. He stayed up all night last night, waiting for the latest porcelain from the kiln to come out so that it could be presented to Guantian.
Therefore, he was sleepy, tired, angry, and his head was swollen and aching. After listening, he closed his eyes and replied: "The porcelain kiln belongs to the Meng family. If you want to buy porcelain, you can just go to the Meng family and ask. The Xu family doesn't care about this." I still have official duties to attend to, so Ill take my leave now.
Having said that, he didn't dare to stay any longer, turned around and walked away quickly, looking quite dejected.
The dandies in the capital burst out laughing when they saw this. They laughed so much that Xu Fang wanted to crawl into the ground, and he resented the Jiang family, the Zhong family, and the Meng family even more!
Meng Yaozu, an old guy, can't make good porcelain and yet he dares to trick the Xu family... Wait, wait for him, he can't take care of the Jiang family and the Zhong family, and he can't take care of the Meng family? He will definitely teach the Meng family a **** lesson!
After Xu Fang left, those dandy boys began to surround Uncle He again and said, "Guard Zhong, my family has given us ten thousand gold to buy a set of porcelain teacups that turn out to be the same when heated. Please give it to me!"
"Guardian Zhong, I will spend ten thousand gold to customize an incense burner that turns porcelain like porcelain when heated. My grandmother will be a vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of every month. If she can get an incense burner that turns porcelain like porcelain when heated, she will be extremely happy. Please, for the sake of my filial piety, please agree!"
Guanzhong Zhong, my father is good at wine. I would like to customize a pair of wine bottles that look like porcelain when heated. The price is ten thousand gold. I will give you a high price of ten thousand gold. Please agree!
Meng Hong was shocked when he heard this... My dear, what kind of people are these? They are willing to spend ten thousand gold to buy a piece of porcelain. This is ten thousand taels of gold, not ten thousand taels of silver! Meng Hong was so frightened by the arrogance of these young men that he broke into a cold sweat.
But after coming back to his senses, he was so angry that he wanted to kill these young men... A group of losers who only know how to eat, drink and have fun spent so much money on porcelain. Thinking about the soldiers who were disabled while fighting, the most they could get was Meng Hong couldn't help but shed tears for the resettlement fee of twenty taels.
Screw it, you have to buy porcelain at a high price, right? OK, I will make it happen for you!
Meng Hong shouted at them: "If you want to buy porcelain that looks like a porcelain when it's hot, come here and register. The minimum price is 10,000 gold. If it's less than 10,000 gold, don't come here!"
There was a hint of hatred in his voice, and he was obviously angry at the profligate spending of these young men.
Uncle He was startled, and hurried over, pulled Meng Hong aside, and said in a low voice: "The starting price is ten thousand gold, which is too expensive. If there is no such price, ten thousand taels of silver is a lot. We can't be too greedy~"
Meng Hong snorted: "Are we greedy? It's because they don't care about money. I don't care, those sick and wounded soldiers need money to support their families and medical treatment. Since these dudes have money, let them contribute some money to care for the sick and wounded soldiers. Sell it at a starting price of ten thousand gold first, and then lower the price when it can no longer be sold for ten thousand gold.
But Uncle He didn't agree: "I know you want to make money for the sick and wounded soldiers so that they can have a way to survive for the rest of their lives, but that's not how business works. You listen to me and don't go too far."
Qi Yi had already put away the golden dragon porcelain basin and handed it over to the guards sent by Emperor Jingyuan to protect him. He squeezed in beside Meng Hong and said: "Meng Baihu, Manager Zhong is right, the price is too high. If this is reported back to the capital, the master of the Yushitai will be scolded in a memorial... Let me handle it."
Qi Yi turned around and said to the people who wanted to buy porcelain: "Everyone, the Jiang family and the Zhong family know that you all want to buy Yure Chengxiang porcelain, but the noisy robbery here is not the same thing. Please follow me to the house next to Guantian. Go, let's sit down and talk slowly, who wants to buy it, at what price, make it clear, and sign a deed... After all, what you are buying is a valuable thing like porcelain that turns into phase when heated, and the patterns and the like need to be customized, so it should be Just sit down and talk slowly."
Master Qi is right, lets go sit down in the house and talk slowly!
A group of people followed Qi Yi to the house. There were so many people that the house was packed. Fortunately, there were guards and government officials to stop them, otherwise something would happen.
There were so many people buying porcelain that the discussion lasted all day.
After Xu Fang returned to the Yamen, he was so angry that he sent people to the Meng family and threatened them.
Mr. Meng is unconscious. The Meng family is in a mess. The eldest and second masters of the Meng family are useless. They were almost frightened to death when they were threatened.
Second Master Meng also came up with a bad idea for the Meng family: "Brother, our Sister Ci is the unmarried daughter-in-law of Lord Xu. Why don't you take Sister Ci to see Xu Fang and let Sister Ci pretend to be a young lady?" If you scare Xu Fang, Xu Fang will definitely not dare to embarrass us... Maybe our Sister Ci can let this porcelain business continue with just a few threatening words."
