Chapter 1106 The Importance of Gu Yun

Ever since Bai Kou had exchanged a few words with Jiang Yueyi at the gate of the construction site, she had left her behind. A woman who wanted to be Gu Yun's concubine was not worth her troubles. Tell Gu Yun that Miss Jiang's family wanted to marry him as a concubine that day, and wait quietly for Jiang Yueyi to find a way to get close to Gu Yun.

All in all, she doesn't take the initiative to mix in this tender peach blossom that popped up suddenly, and don't try to drag her into the water to mix it in. It has nothing to do with her from the beginning to the end. This peach blossom is rushing to Gu Yun, and he is the person involved, so he has to He resolved it by himself, she only waited for Gu Yun to make a decision before making the final decision.

Gu Yun has never dealt with similar matters by himself. In the past, he was his girl in charge. She stepped forward when something happened, she did bad things, and she was responsible for bad people. He just ordered and enjoyed the rewards, but now he had to learn to solve it by himself.

In addition, there are so many salt merchants in the capital, so Bai Kou has other interests. I want to know if there are any special products in the hometown of those salt merchants that are not well-known to outsiders, such as ham, cured chicken, salted duck, bacon, sausage, etc. of.

In addition, Bai Kou also investigated the background of so many salt merchants, especially the Xinzhou salt merchants and their network in the capital.

Since the establishment of the factory, Bai Kou has dealt with countless officials at all levels of the household department in the past few years, and even mixed up with those who often communicated with them as buddies. Information such as the roster of salt merchants and the strength of each person could have been You can get it directly with these officials for a small amount of money, but Bai Kou knew that if she made a small move, she would be stabbed into the ears of the saint by the God of Ear Reporting, so just in case, she still asked Hua Qingyu to buy information.

After figuring out the connections between salt merchants in Xinzhou, Bai Kou found the family that Jiang Yueyi was originally engaged to. Naturally, they were also salt merchants. Their family background was stronger than that of the Jiang family, but it had nothing to do with the Jiang family's inner ghost. The gambling greedy sold the confidential information of the owner's family in order to pay off the gambling debt.

Bai Kou felt that there was a gambler next to the Jiang family who could easily get access to business-related information. Such a catastrophe was brought on by them. It is reasonable for the man's family to be afraid of implicating him and stop losses in time.

After having a calculation in his mind, Bai Kou put the matter aside again, and waited for Jiang Yueyi to make some small moves.

The Ministry of War has made a final decision after discussions with all parties in the past few days. It agreed to Bai Kou's request, recognized her as the patentee of the magnesium rod, and gave her [-]% of the patent fee from the profit of the magnesium rod business of the Ministry of War every year. In the future, if there are similar new things, we must let the Ministry of War know first.

Of course, Bai Kou agreed to this request, and happily signed the draft contract. Mr. Qiu Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, reviewed the content of the document to ensure that it was fair to both parties. Gu Yun went to the Ministry of War to sign it. print.

The Ministry of War is quite polite to Gu Yun. After all, the Second Grandpa Gu is still serving in the army. The prince’s centurion, Qi Guogong’s grandson, Wei Qian, and Gu Yun are good buddies. Gu Yun is a civil servant and a general. Of course, he is not afraid of the people in the Ministry of War playing tricks at all. He knows that they can't play tricks, they just want to take advantage of their mouths, not to mention that Bai Kou's patent fees are also taxable. Talk down.

How to price the magnesium rods made by the Ordnance Department has baffled the big bosses of the Ministry of War. Of course there are people who can play political tricks, but now it is a serious business, and the money earned is used to supplement the public expenses of the Ministry of War. , can give better benefits to the frontier soldiers on the border, it’s not like killing big households and fat pigs once and for all, they don’t even have the idea of ​​​​opening a direct store.

Bai Kou looked like a profiteer and expressed his willingness to provide free assistance.

The condition for getting her assistance is that she must have a look at the level of craftsmanship of the ordnance craftsmen. The current winter is just in time for production, and it can be used as food and military supplies to other places after the spring of next year.

The Ministry of War has nothing to do with Bai Kou, there are too many people who support her, Bai Kou is both a woman and an outsider, if she strictly follows the rules, she doesn't even have the qualifications to approach the Armory Workshop, but all the rules can't stop her from making money What's more important, in the end, Bai Kou got her wish and visited the Armory Workshop all over, and she was the only one who went there, surrounded by people from the Ministry of War. Gu Yun and the others were all envious when they heard about this.

Bai Kou's trip was not in vain. He saw the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, and chatted with them a lot. While chatting, he wrote and calculated on paper. Moreover, the quality of military materials was better than civilian materials. The people who accompanied her on the tour also saw that she was really rough on some things. Although she couldn't speak jargon, the questions she asked would not be misleading.

Satisfied with the visit, Bai Kou went home to write a plan. There was a pile of letters on the desk in the study, and he flipped through the envelopes one by one. Suddenly he saw a letter from Gu Yun. The former Jiang Yueyi, the daughter of a salt merchant in Xinzhou, gave a lot of precious gifts these days, and finally went through Wei Zhengdao's path. Ma Hao, the manager who is always stationed in the capital, and Wei Zhengdao came to the restaurant in joy tonight drinking.

Bai Kou threw the letter on the table, her eyebrows raised high, thinking that this Jiang Yueyi really has some skills, she found Wei Zhengdao, and I don't know if she learned about it from the two daughters of Wang Yu's family, However, Jiang Yueyi's actions like this blew up the matter, making the salt merchants realize that Gu Yun is also an important person to take care of.

It must be to send some gifts to connect feelings.

Except for the Yanjing salt mine, most of the salt lakes are located on the border with harsh environment and harsh conditions. They are managed by the frontier army. The imperial court exchanged salt tickets for the merchants to carry supplies to the military to collect salt. In the eyes of the salt merchants, in terms of assets, the capital city did not fall into their eyes. However, Gu Yun had just signed a serious contract with the Ministry of War, and today she went to visit the Ordnance Workshop by herself.

When these two things spread in the next two days, it's no wonder that the salt merchants didn't come to flatter Gu Yun in order to improve their relationship with the military.

At that time, if Jiang Yueyi followed Wei Zhengdao's path, there would be no big disturbances. The salt merchants would directly pile up presents at the gate of Duke Ye's mansion, and smashing them would kill people.

Imagine the expression on the concierge of Lord Ye's mansion who was shocked by the big money of the salt merchants, endured the pain in his stomach from laughing, and wrote a letter to Gu Yun. In the letter, he praised Jiang Yueyi, praising her for her vision, better than a group of uncles. They are more able to focus on the key points, there is nothing better than following the path of the imperial court's darling Gu Yun.

It was already too late for Bai Kou to return home after visiting, so this reply letter was sent to Duke Ye's mansion early the next morning, but at that time Gu Yun had already gone on duty, and at noon, the cook of Bai Kou's house The dishes presented to him were honey sauce fire recipes and ham meatloaf. The ham used was a local specialty brought back by the Ning family caravan. The brothers and sisters howled with happiness after eating them.

When he was on duty in the evening, the guards and the coachman came to pick him up and told him what happened at home that day, Gu Yun was stunned.

On this day, the salt merchants, as if they had made an agreement, sent car after car to Duke Ye’s mansion to deliver gifts, as well as beauties. A blue caravan came and came down three or four beauties who were as beautiful as immortals. , I don’t know how eye-catching the station is on the street. When the coachman and guards set off from home, there were already twenty beauties.

"Master, these salt merchants are really rich and powerful. With this way of giving away, you use one a day, and some people can't turn it once a month. But, lord, our grandma hasn't married yet, so you should restrain yourself if you can." Well, take care of yourself and don't make people angry."

Gu Yun shivered violently, this kind of thing was unprecedented, he couldn't predict how Bai Kou would react.

Unpredictable dangers, just thinking about it makes me feel terrible!
