Win the Ding 1617

() Continue to ask for all kinds of support and rewards!

On the eighth day of May in the sixth year of Tianqi, it was sunny.

When Li Tao limped off the dilapidated cargo ship, Li Shouhan was teasing his daughter Erya in his garden.

Erya is already seven or eight months old, she is plump and white, and she is really cute.Is there a simple syllable or two popping out of the mouth, babbling something in the mouth, and there is a smile on the small face with pink make-up and jade.

Shou Han hugged his precious daughter and pointed to the little girl in the mirror, "Ah, look, who is this child?"

Erya was very excited when she saw a child with a sky-high braid on the opposite side, and touched it with her pink and tender hands, but what she expected to touch was glass. Go and tap the mirror, trying to call out the child in the mirror.

Seeing her daughter patting the mirror with her small hands, Yan Meier panicked, "Erya, don't take pictures anymore, don't break the mirror, come to mother." She was afraid that Erya would ruin this extremely valuable possession up.

Among other things, the frame alone is made of old huanghuali wood transported from Qiongzhou Prefecture. Those woods were all recovered from the homes of the first people when Zhang Xiaohu wiped out the native villages. Decades and hundreds of years old wood has exhausted its water vapor, so it is the most suitable for making wooden utensils.This pair of frames alone can bankrupt many people in the Mainland.

Not to mention, the gap between the frame and the mirror is filled with gold.The six-foot full-length mirror rimmed with more than a dozen taels of gold was used to reflect the images of Shou Han and Er Ya's father and daughter exactly.

Yan Meier heard from a few people in the front yard household, the glass workshop, and the Hanyuan business that such a full-length mirror was sold to the Frenchman in Hoi An, to the big gentry in Guangzhou, and in Yangzhou. Sell ​​it to salt merchants for 1 taels of silver, and these people can take out the silver without blinking an eye.

There are too few mirrors of this size!There are so few mirrors that are so clear!

"It's okay! As long as Erya is happy, it's okay to smash this mirror!" Tong Yanmeier, who didn't look back, replied with a smile.As he spoke, he raised his hands, and everyone's eyes blurred. Shou Han had already put Erya on his neck, and asked his daughter to see if there was a child like her hidden behind the mirror frame.

Seeing that there was no child behind the beautiful frame, Er Ya was immediately disappointed, and couldn't help grinning and crying.

"Hey, Daddy, Dad." While crying, she pointed at the frame with her tiny index finger, and her behavior immediately surprised the people present.

"Oh my God! Missy can talk now! She's calling Master and Daddy!" A group of maidservants headed by Mrs. Cai, Mrs. Yang, Xiuzhu and others immediately beamed with joy. Their joy came from the bottom of their hearts. His behavior is indeed beyond the performance of ordinary children of this age group. Secondly, for such a happy event, the Shouhan couple will inevitably give a lot of rewards. Naturally, the more such things, the better.

"Congratulations to my sister."

"Congratulations sister!"

Sisters Meishan and Shilin naturally would not let go of this opportunity to show their kindness. They are very clear about their status, and they will always be just concubines, and they were half-robbed and half-married by their husbands. Yes, how does such a status compare with that of Yan Meier, a couple in need who have walked along the way with their husband?

"Okay, Erya, come to Mother, don't keep pestering your father." Yan Meier greeted Meishan sisters with a smile, then stretched out her hand to take Erya back, but unexpectedly Thinking about it, Erya turned around and hugged her father's head, probably meaning to play here for a while.

Shouhan carried his daughter and ran around the garden for a few times, which shocked all the soldiers around him. The lord carried the eldest daughter and ran around in the yard. If there was a mistake, it would be our fault!

Not bad, after running a few times and making his daughter giggle again, Shou Han quietly found a chair and sat down. Bring me a small three-inch mirror.

Fiddled with the sun a few times, and after choosing the angle, Shou Han began to perform the principle of light refraction for his daughter.A bright spot was running around in the yard, which immediately made Er Ya very excited, cheering happily on Shou Han's lap.

Taking advantage of her happy time, Yan Meier quietly motioned to her nanny to pick up Erya, and she took Erya to the side with Xiuzhu to play, she knew that the husband would have something to say later.

Using the hot towel handed by the soldier to wipe off the slight sweat on his head, Shou Han reminded himself in his heart that he must pay attention to exercise, and he can’t go on like this forever, and it’s better to go to Sister Meishan’s room less often. good.Otherwise, it's easy to end up with unfulfilled ambitions.

"Tell me!" He gestured to Liu Qinghong, the head of the glass workshop, "How many pairs of mirrors like this have been made? How much does each pair cost, and what is the estimated price?"

"This?" Liu Qinghong was in a bit of a dilemma. Although he was one of the principals of the glass workshop, he was only in charge of sales, so he was a little unclear about the cost of the six-foot full-length mirror.

On the other hand, Lin Huofeng, the shopkeeper of the Han Yuan Company, came to his rescue: "Say it clearly, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

"Yes!" With these words, Liu Qinghong had a firm mind, coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and began to report the situation of this huge luxury to Shou Han.

"The 14 taels of gold used for edging, and the huanghuali and red sandalwood used to make the frame were captured by Commander Zhang from Qiongzhou, and converted into salt, grain, cloth and other items for him. According to the current shipping cost price of Hejing, each The mirror frame, including wood and labor, is about 180 taels of silver. As for the cost of glass, I don’t know much about the small ones.”

"Well, very good! You are very good! What you know is what you know, what you don't know is what you don't know. You don't know what you shouldn't know." Shou Han praised Liu Qinghong a few words awkwardly, which surprised the young man. Why? I don't know the cost of the glass, but it was praised?

"This six-foot full-length mirror has been discussed and submitted to the company for approval. It is planned to sell it at a price of 1 taels of silver."

The teacup in Shou Han's hand rang, "1 taels?"

"Yes! 1 taels! Such small three-inch mirrors are sold at the price of ten taels per side. The other three-foot and one-foot mirrors are priced at five thousand and three thousand respectively. The subordinates think that they should be Three-foot, one-foot, five-inch, three-inch and other mirrors are mainly sold externally.”

"Ten thousand, five thousand, three thousand, 50 taels, ten taels!" Shou Han murmured to himself. Others seemed to think that he was dissatisfied with such a pricing, which had not reached the price in his mind.

As everyone knows, such a price has greatly exceeded Shou Han's psychological bottom line!

Pour the solution on an iron table, roll it flat with a copper stick, and the glass is made. Similarly, pour mercury evenly on the surface of the glass, one side of the glass is covered with mercury, and then paint, paint Once dry, the mirror is made.Taken together, the cost of such a six-foot full-length mirror is only one tael!As for those three-inch and five-inch mirrors, some of them may be made of scraps during the processing process, and the cost is even lower.

"With such huge profits, how should I pay luxury tax and value-added tax!" Shou Han growled secretly in his heart. "With all the money, the cost of a six-foot full-length mirror is only 200 taels. Even if there is no captured wood in the future, the purchase price of the wood is only a few tens of taels. Such a full-length mirror will not exceed the cost of 300 taels. I am more than 30 times How much tax do you have to pay for your profits?!"

Outside the Moon Gate, Mu Yagou, the head of the Business Statistics Office, led Li Tao limping in.

"My lord, there are six sides of this kind of mirror. This is one of them. How do you deal with the rest?" Lin Huofeng, as the shopkeeper of the firm, is naturally not able to compare the issues that a master like Liu Qinghong can compare. of.

"In this way, this side will be moved to the wife's room, and the other two sides will be sent to Sister Shilin's place, and the other side will be sent to Li Changshi's residence for him to dispose of. The other three sides will be sent to Guangzhou and Yangzhou respectively. , Hoi An, etc., hold exhibitions, and tell the staff of these three places that we can accept reservations!"

"I beg the general to save my lord!"

Li Tao waited for Li Shouhan to explain these things before he dared to plead.

"Hey! Master Li! Why do you look like this?!"

As an important minister and confidant of the Li family's court, Li Tao paid great attention to his own image in the past. Not to mention the neat and beautiful clothes, even the beard is combed to the point of the flesh, but now it is a different picture image.

The turban on the head was hung off at some point, and only half of it was floating weakly in the bun. I don't know if it was coal ash or mud in the bun, which stuck the gray hair in one place.A blue robe on his body was also stained.

What was even more frightening was that for unknown reasons, there was a large bloodstain on the trouser leg on the right leg.

While ordering someone to treat Li Tao's wound, he asked him to sit down and explain the reason.

"The traitor of the Zheng family intends to harm my Majesty!"

It was after Prince Zheng strengthened the palace guards by three times that Li Tao realized that something was wrong. He was afraid that the terrible history would repeat itself, so after an emergency consultation with Li Muhua, he quietly drained water from an underground river in the imperial garden of the palace. pipeline?), and went to Hejing to find Li Muhua's husband-in-law, now General Li came to rescue the soldiers.Unexpectedly, when he got out of Thang Long and arrived at the pier, he was discovered by two guard soldiers of the Zheng family.

Li Tao was also very alert, he offered two gold ingots with both hands without saying a word.Those two soldiers were also bachelors, they took the gold and waved their hands to let Li Tao go, when Li Tao turned around, one of the soldiers cut his right leg with a knife.

"The two of us were patrolling, and when we met Xiao Xiao, he was severely injured!" The beheading guard seemed to be talking to himself.

"You bastard!" Li Tao knew that the guards took the money and were unwilling to take responsibility. They did this deliberately. Once they were exposed or discovered by other patrol officers, they would have something to deal with.

After a brief treatment of the wound, he boarded the boat arranged in advance on the pier, and ran all the way south.

This is what happened in the past.

After unwrapping the wound wrapped in a cardigan, Li Tao's cut wound on his right leg was bloody and bloody. He just treated it with incense ash briefly, and there were some festering places, and there was a faint stench.

The doctor carefully treated the pus and blood from the wound with alcohol essence and absorbent cotton, sprinkled it with wound medicine, and wrapped it with fine gauze. Li Tao felt that his right leg was his own again.

"General! For the sake of our in-laws, I implore the general to go north to rescue my majesty, oh no, my lord!" Seeing Li Shouhan's face darken slightly, Li Tao realized that his Slip of the tongue, this is an official of the Ming Dynasty, but how can he accept the title of emperor of the Li family court?

"Send Master Li to rest! Decoction, medicine and food, arrange it carefully, there must be no mistakes!"

Being carried away by two personal soldiers, Li Tao turned his head from time to time and shouted to Li Shouhan with tears all over his face, "General! For the sake of my lady, please help me! You don't want the Zheng family to take care of you!" Your woman was also killed?! This is not good for the general's reputation!"

When Li Tao was surrounded by his own soldiers and walked through the Moon Gate to rest at the post, he heard the voice of Shou Han.

"Lei Mingsheng from the workshop is invited to come to discuss matters. In addition, call Zheng Zhang to come. I will see him in an hour."
