The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1077 Awake
"My lord! It's done."

Seeing the relaxed look on Ming Mo's face, Gu Chengyu knew that he had successfully bought those materials.

"How much money did you spend?" Gu Chengyu put the account book in his hand on the desk and asked curiously.

Ming Mo suddenly smiled, and his tone was very brisk.

"Exactly 1 taels. But Jiang Guanshi said that he spent a lot of effort this time, and he almost failed to negotiate. However, in the end, the old master agreed. He just asked Jiang Guanshi halfway. What are you doing with the spotted fabric? Jiang Guanshi’s answer is also amazing, saying that he bought it to make silk flowers or sell it as a purse.”

Gu Chengyu nodded, this is indeed a good excuse.Although you can't make much money by making these small objects, you can still make some money anyway.

It's just that this master will believe it?Gu Chengyu felt a little impossible.

"Master Ju still refuses to believe it! I kept asking, how could Manager Jiang tell him the reason? In the end, he couldn't do it, so he had to sell the batch of materials."

Ming Mo felt that Jiang Guanshi was quite capable, and this time at least he had completed the task assigned by the adults.

"Did Manager Jiang go to see it? What's the situation?"

Gu Chengyu was afraid that all the materials would have mildew spots. If so, even if the spots were removed, the color of the materials would not be as bright as before, and the price would also be greatly reduced.

"Boss Jiang looked at this batch of materials before negotiating the price, and said that the materials on the lower layer were the most damp and had the most mildew spots. Some were covered in whole pieces, and there were quite a few on the middle cloth, while the top ones were better. Many, just sporadic spots. According to your instructions, add them all together, and we will pay 1 taels of silver, otherwise we won’t even want those moldy old pieces, even if they are given to us.”

Ming Mo has been muttering about Gu Chengyu spending so much money on these unwanted fabrics.

I have never heard that the mildew spots on the cloth can be removed. If not, wouldn't they have lost 1 taels of silver?

Do you really need someone to make silk flowers or purses?How much fabric is wasted?Throwing away what is not usable is simply waste.

"I'll ask shopkeeper Jiang to get the fabric in the afternoon. You first find hundreds of ingenious women among the victims, and I will find a way to remove the black spots on the fabric."

Time was running out, Gu Chengyu could only call more women to help, he planned to use alcohol to remove the black spots on the material.

But where did Dayan Dynasty get the alcohol?Gu Chengyu does have space, but he can't take it out.Even if it is taken out, it is not enough.

This requires the alcohol to be distilled first, and the low-alcohol wine brewed from the grain in the market is used. All these require people to do it.

"Oh! Before that, each person was given a box of hand cream to smear their hands for two days. Don't do rough work."

Gu Chengyu suddenly thought that these women are usually used to rough work, and their hands must be very rough.

The silk and satin material is easy to snag. If the silk and satin are shaved, they will really lose a lot of money.

That hand fat is hand cream, a very popular ointment sold in Gu Cheng's jade powder shop.As long as it is applied for three days, the situation will be greatly improved.

"Ah?" Ming Mo was suddenly surprised, his lord is so generous, he even gave these?This is not worth dozens of taels of silver, is it?

"What did the Xia Clan invite those wealthy businessmen two days ago?" Gu Chengyu suddenly remembered that Patriarch Xia was racking his brains to fight him these two days, and asked hastily.

"The villain bought a servant from his family, saying that patriarch Xia is going to buy rice from the other four families at the current price."

"Who has agreed?" In fact, it is a safe move to sell the grain to the Xia family at this time, but these people will give up the money they think is easy to get?

I'm afraid I won't be reconciled, right?But it's not that no one is brainless, maybe some people are still sober.

"There are only two families, one is the Liu Mansion, and the other is the Ju Mansion. The other two did not agree. Even Jujia broke up with Patriarch Xia, and he was a little rude to Patriarch Xia in his words, which made Patriarch Xia fall. shameless."

Ming Mo recalled the news he inquired this morning, and then said: "This morning, I heard that the cloth price of Xia's cloth shop dropped sharply, and the common people flocked here, and there was a long queue in front of Xia's cloth shop. Ju's The business of the cloth shop is sluggish, and it is more deserted than before."

Gu Chengyu was dumbfounded, this Ju Haoming's temper is indeed very strong, even Patriarch Xia doesn't show face?However, who gave him the confidence?
Is there really someone behind the house?Gu Chengyu nodded his chin, thinking that in all likelihood, the Ju family had found a backer.

But who else in the court can compete with Xia Qingsuo?Isn't it just the princes?

It is impossible for the prince to be around, this is not like the prince's style.After all, as a prince, he should think of the common people, so how could he allow his family to collect grain wantonly to raise the price of grain?

If he really did this and was found out by others, wouldn't it be that the handle was sent to the victim?How can he become a prince with such a lack of virtue?

If it's not the prince, the only remaining candidates are Prince Jing and Prince Gong.The third prince went to Baoen Temple to become a monk two years ago, and now he has realized the dharma name!

Who is it?Gu Chengyu thinks that both Prince Gong and Prince Jing are possible.

No wonder the manager Jiang went to buy cloth today, and things went so smoothly.Maybe it was because there was no business at home in the past two days, and the cloth was backlogged in the warehouse.

It would be better to sell these mildew-stained cloths cheaply, so that more money can be turned around.

"I remember that the other family is the Jiang family, right? Why didn't the Jiang family agree? Patriarch Xia didn't trouble the Jiang family?"

"It's the Jiang family! It is said that the Jiang family didn't refuse, they just said that they still have to think about it! There has been no movement in the Jiang family these days, and it is still as usual."

Gu Chengyu pondered for a moment, the Jiang family was cunning, and they definitely didn't want to agree.

It's just because Patriarch Xia is pressing hard and he is not easy to offend, so he came up with a plan to delay the attack.

"Mr. Chen, is Emperor Father awake?" In Chengqian Palace, the crown prince was waiting anxiously in the hall.

After his father fainted early this morning, he was immediately carried back to the bedroom.It's just that two hours have passed by now, and the father has not yet woken up, and the prince is very anxious.

"Your Highness, the Emperor has woken up right now, but he just feels listless. He told you to go in now, and he has something to tell you to do!"

De'an came out of the inner hall, suppressed the worries in his heart, and forced himself to deal with His Highness the Crown Prince.

This is the second time the emperor has passed out, and this time he has been in a coma for longer than before, so how can De'an feel at ease?

When the prince heard the words, he didn't care about the politeness, and quickly stepped into the inner hall.

As soon as the prince entered, he saw his father leaning on the pillow, his eyes dull, staring at Chengchen on the top in a daze.

The prince trotted over, and before reaching the couch, he knelt down.

He took a few steps on his knees, stepped forward to hold the emperor's hand, and shouted softly: "Father emperor!"
