Princess of the auxiliary country

Not long after, Aunt Xi came. After bowing, she stood respectfully by the side.

The eldest princess immediately asked Grandma Xi how much money she still had in the villa.

"Back to your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, there are currently less than three strings left in the villa, and one string of four hundred coins was obtained from selling vegetables in the past two days."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao, who was sharpening his ink, raised his head.

"Am I so poor now?"

She was also a little shocked, but then she thought about it, wasn't she very poor?

When we came here earlier, it cost a lot to build the greenhouse. After staying here for more than a month, so many people spent a lot of money eating and drinking.

Aunt Xi smiled awkwardly.

"Xiaochan, go and call Hongxiu over. We have to think of some ways to make money."

There are so many people to feed, how can we do it with so little money?

You can't keep asking me for it, right?

"Yao Yao, I'll give it to you for my mother's sake. Why bother to think of a way? That would be so troublesome."

"Thank you, mother, but my daughter has a way, so it's not troublesome. It's better not to keep asking you to give money."

"What's wrong with this? You are my mother's daughter. What's wrong with giving you some money?"

Huo Junyao smiled and shook her head. She was still more accustomed to being self-reliant, and her goal was not that hundred and eighty dollars.

Those were just small amounts of money, but she set three goals for herself.

The first goal was something she set for herself at the beginning of her time travel. When she came to the new world, she didn't want to die young, so her first goal was to keep a low profile.

She was like this when she first arrived in the capital, which is why the eldest princess at that time felt that this youngest daughter was a bit quiet and quiet.

After all, this is a strange place, so why don't you take the time to observe the situation?

Naturally, her second goal is to improve her life. After all, the mutton soup cakes really made her doubt her life.

So what is the first step to improving your life?Naturally, it’s all about making money. Many things require money to buy. As for those things that can’t be bought, just grow them yourself or tinker with them yourself.

Almost everything she did when she came to the villa was her second goal.

As for the third goal, it is naturally to depose the prince. After all, if this guy stays in that position, it will not be a good thing for her and Duke Ji's mansion.

It was like a knife floating above his head.

And she had been in the villa for more than a month, seemingly doing nothing, but she also secretly caused a lot of trouble for the prince.

For example, when she sent something to the palace, others, including the emperor and the queen, thought she was just being filial and didn't think much about it.

Is she really just out of filial piety?Obviously not, she was secretly applying eye drops to the prince and princess.

In her words, this is called boiling a frog in warm water.

It’s not like people’s hearts can cool down overnight, it all takes time.

"Miss."

"Hongxiu, let me ask someone. Is there anyone who needs to buy a fireplace now?"

She still has more than 5000 kilograms of iron in hand, and a fireplace only weighs thirty kilograms. She can make a hundred and eighty of them first to make a profit.

"No need to ask about this. Yes, many people in the capital are in need of it." Huo Junyao had given away a lot of fireplaces. The powerful people in the capital often visited their homes. Seeing that other people's homes had them and they were so warm, why wouldn't she want them? Get one?
"Go and ask the blacksmiths to make a hundred of them."

Hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked. One hundred people, that's three thousand kilograms of iron.

"Yao Yao, is this too much?"

The eldest princess was a little hesitant. Although some people would want this fireplace, she didn't know how many people were willing to buy it yet. So just getting a hundred of them, she felt a little too anxious.

"I think we can get a few out first and sell them."

"Mom, I will make a hundred, but not all of them will be sold. I plan to give fifty to the emperor. Isn't there a snowstorm in our Yu Dynasty now? Although the imperial court is also rushing to produce, the craftsmanship is not as good as ours. of skill."

Upon hearing this, the eldest princess smiled and instantly felt that her daughter was so sensible.

"Okay, then I'll do your bidding and make a hundred."

There are now more than ten blacksmiths in the villa. They are very skilled in their crafts. One person can make two or three blacksmiths a day, which does not take a few days.

"How much does our fireplace cost, Miss?"

Huo Junyao pondered for a moment and said, "Now the price of iron in the Yu Dynasty is thirty kilograms per catty. Our fireplace requires thirty kilograms of iron, and the cost is nine hundred wen. How about pricing it in both directions?"

"Twice?"

Everyone's eyes widened. Doesn't this mean that one fireplace can earn a hundred coppers? Even if they give fifty to the emperor, they still have fifty. If they sell them all, that will be a net profit of 55 coppers. .

"The price is not expensive. After all, our fireplace won't be usable after one year. What about next year?"

"This is made of iron, why can't it last three to five years?"

"After three to five years, do you think that if there is no fireplace, they will have to burn charcoal? How much does charcoal cost per pound? How much does ordinary firewood cost per pound?"

"Don't say it can be used for three to five years. Even if it is only used for one year, a lot of money will be saved on charcoal."

When everyone heard this, they thought it made sense, especially the eldest princess Ningyang. She was the mistress of the house and knew best how much money it cost to buy charcoal every winter.

Especially those rich and powerful families use unusual black charcoal, which is more expensive. With a fireplace, charcoal can be used without charcoal. They all burn firewood. This thing is much cheaper than charcoal.

"Then just two coins and one. If we have fifty coins, we can earn 55 coins, which is pretty good."

"Mom, you made a mistake in your calculation. It's not 55 strings."

Hearing this, the eldest princess turned her head in confusion, and then calculated it carefully for her. 55 strings was indeed a good number.

"Then you have excluded the capital, but have you forgotten that the iron was obtained from the emperor, but it did not cost us any money."

"Besides, this time I also gave fifty to the emperor. Forget about the ten I gave him earlier. It should be my filial piety as a junior. But these fifty, do you think the emperor can treat them so lightly? Just accept it?"

The eldest princess's eyes lit up immediately.

Yes, how could she forget that these irons were all obtained from the emperor, and no capital was required.

So if fifty fireplaces are sold, it will be equivalent to a net profit of one hundred guan. The wages of four blacksmiths are only so much. If you pay a dozen or more to one guan, it is considered very generous.

Especially Huo Junyao's last sentence, if fifty fireplaces are sent over, can the emperor just accept them?
Can't you give me some benefits?
"Yao Yao is right, your emperor's uncle, mother knows best. When the time comes, let's make the noise bigger."

"Perhaps the income from these fifty dollars will be far more than one hundred dollars."

As she spoke, she was still calculating in her mind. When the time came, she would write a letter to him, and she might be able to get more things.
