Chapter 2009
"Ma'am, Xiao Axe and the others have been going to the brick kiln to make bricks for the past few days. Ten bricks can get a penny. They make a lot of money. A group of half-grown children can make 2000 yuan of bricks in an hour. After receiving the wages, Madam has to give out more than one or two taels of silver every day... But until today, no one has come to our guard to buy green bricks. If this continues, Madam's dowry will not be able to withstand such consumption of."

Gao Fenniang was very heartbroken. She knew that Gu Jinli had money, but no matter how rich she was, she couldn't waste it like this.

"Ma'am, Xiaoaxe and the others live in the guard. Madam has already given them a lot of subsidies to do some work, so they don't need to pay wages." Gao Fenniang said: "When I was in Junhu Village, those thousands of households Mrs. Baihu and Mrs. Baihu also often ask us to work without paying wages."

If you don't do well, you have to be beaten and scolded.

To make matters worse, some wives of Qianhu and Baihu saw the girls from the military households as beautiful, and they would take advantage of them by sending them to rich households and going up to the peak to spoil them, in exchange for benefits.

Gu Jinli was furious when he heard that: "Do you think our blue bricks can't be sold?!"

Seeing that she was angry, Gao Fenniang wanted to say something nice, but her temper was like this, she couldn't speak flattery, so she nodded sincerely: "Well, if this continues, Madam's brick kiln will really lose money."

Ah!
Gu Jinli was furious, and the red fruit in his hand was no longer sweet.

Gao Fenniang also suggested: "Ma'am, don't pay Xiaoaxe and them for now, let's talk about it when there is business."

If you don’t have business and you just pay wages like this, you will really lose money.

Gu Jinli is about to blow up, why do you look down on my business?

Nanny Yu hurriedly comforted her: "Ma'am, don't be angry. As soon as the news spreads that Your Excellency has partnered with General Jiang and the Zhong family to trade porcelain, there will be an endless stream of people coming to ask for blue bricks. Then Madam will make a lot of money. Don't worry." will lose."

Gu Jinli nodded: "Nurse is right, this blue brick is in short supply, and someone will definitely come to ask for it."

And she was right, after noon, people really came to buy blue bricks.

The visitor is the Feng family from Shaliuwei.

It was still Steward Feng and Nanny Feng who came.

Nanny Feng was brought in by Aunt Xiong and met Gu Jinli.

Nanny Feng finally saw Gu Jinli, and she couldn't explain it for a while... Mrs. Qin really loves money. Last time they came to make amends, she didn't see her, and she only accepted the apology.

This time I heard that she was here to buy green bricks, so someone brought her in immediately.

"This old servant has met Mrs. Qin." Nanny Feng greeted Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli said with a smile: "Nurse Feng, there is no need to be polite, sit down quickly."

He asked again: "I heard that you are here to buy blue bricks, how much do you want to buy? When will you want it?"

"..." Mother Feng looked at Gu Jinli's sweet smiling face, and couldn't believe it. This was actually the extremely hard-to-please Mrs. Qin.

But Nanny Feng learned her lesson last time, she didn't dare to show any disrespect, she said respectfully: "If you want to return to Madam Qin, our guard will build a big house for Madam to live in, and we will also build a new kang, which requires a lot of green bricks …For the time being, buy 5 yuan first, if it is not enough, we will add more later.”

As for when to...

"As soon as the blue bricks are fired, our guard will take them away." Mother Feng explained: "After a while, a group of recruits will come to the guard, and many relatives will follow, so we have to hurry up and build them for them." A new heated kang. It’s still cold now, living in a tent, if there is no new heated kang, life will be difficult.”

Gu Jinli nodded: "5 yuan is not much, it can be made, but the green bricks here are more expensive than those back home, I wonder if the Feng family is willing to accept the price?"

In He'an Mansion, the most expensive piece of blue brick is only eight Wen. When her family built a shop, Chang Errui's family gave a discounted price, only four Wen a piece of blue brick.

"Because of the war here, there are few people who can burn green bricks. The price is 22 Wen a piece, which does not count the shipping fee. If we need to deliver the goods, there will be an extra fee, [-] Wen per piece."

Gu Jinli said: "This price is the price we set after we went to the brick kiln in Mu County to inquire about it. It is two yuan cheaper than the brick kiln in Mu County."

The Feng family had bought blue bricks in Mu County, and the price was indeed more expensive than Changliangwei's.

But because their family is a thousand households, the brick kiln also gave a discounted price, which was the same as the price given by Gu Jinli.

But Butler Feng and Nanny Feng were ordered by Feng Qianhu to complete this green brick business!

Just because Feng Qianhu received the news that Qin Sanlang and Jiang Dajiang partnered to start a porcelain business, and Jiang Dajiang even lent Qin Sanlang his own soldiers.

This relationship is so good that Feng Qianhu can't catch up.

Feng Qianhu was very scared. He wanted to get away with Qin Sanlang before, but now he didn't dare. He just wanted to use the matter of buying green bricks to build a good relationship with Qin Sanlang.

Through this matter, let General Jiang know that he has a good relationship with Qin Sanlang, and let General Jiang not be annoyed that he and Zhuang Qianhu tripped Changliang Wei before.

Nanny Feng agreed immediately: "Not counting the shipping fee, [-] cents a green brick, this price is indeed a good deal, the Feng family bought it. Mrs. Qin, let's sign the contract now and finalize the deal."

After finishing speaking, he took out a bank note, handed it to Nanny Tao beside him, and said to Gu Jinli, "Mrs. Qin, this is the deposit."

Gu Jinli: "...here's a deposit, why don't you go and see the green bricks first?"

Nanny Feng smiled and said: "Mrs. Qin dares to sell the green bricks, the green bricks must be good. The Feng family trusts Liang Wei too much."

Gu Jinli nodded after hearing this, and then Nanny Tao took the bank note and handed it to Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli looked at the dazzling 500 words on it, smiled, and immediately told Aunt Tao: "Auntie, write the deed, and we will sign the contract right away."

"Yes." Nanny Tao took a pen and paper, and quickly wrote down a contract.

Gu Jinli signed and stamped his fingerprints.

Mother Feng took the deed, and saw a line written on it: those who come to transport the green bricks, the vehicles are not allowed to enter the guard, and the guards need to transport the green bricks out of the gate.

This is really cautious.

Even though she added such a sentence, Nanny Feng still took out Feng's private seal, stamped it on it, and pressed her own handprint to prove that this matter was handled by her.

Gu Jinli and Nanny Feng put away a contract, and told Nanny Tao: "Mommy, take Feng Nanny to the brick kiln to look at the blue bricks."

"Yes." Tao Momo got up and smiled at Feng Momo: "Old sister, please."

"Okay, I'm sorry, sister." After bowing to Gu Jinli, Nanny Feng followed Tao Nanny and left to the brick kiln.

The fact that the Feng family came to buy blue bricks, bought 5 yuan at once, and returned 500 taels of silver bills, quickly spread throughout the guard.

The relatives of the guard were overjoyed.

"My lord, the blue bricks in our guard really made money, a full 500 taels, they got rich, this time they really got rich!"

"This is just the first batch. I heard that Mrs. Feng's family is coming. The Feng family is going to build a seven-in-one mansion and a few small ones for concubines. Those servants with dignity will also live in the blue brick mansion." Wafang, we will continue to buy green bricks from us in the future, and we can still earn a lot of money!"
