Empress Industrial Project

Chapter 51 Cooperation ([-])

Because Qiao Yurong was busy all day today, she was also quite tired. She planned to go to bed early to see outside the city tomorrow. During dinner, the snow fell heavily. Zhu Yurong looked at the heavy snow outside the house and felt uneasy.

It is not cold when it snows heavily, but it is extremely cold when it is snowing.

"Old Mo, have you bought the shoes my king asked you to buy at noon?" Qiao Yurong asked.

Eunuch Mo bowed his head respectfully: "I would like to report to the lord, the slave has arranged for someone to do it immediately after receiving the lord's order. At that time in the evening, the servant received a report from the servant, and the [-] pairs of shoes and straw sandals in the city were all given to the slave." After buying it, the slave knew that it was not enough, and arranged for embroiderers to make shoes."

Eight hundred pairs of shoes?
How is it enough?
There are at least a few thousand beggars and refugees outside the city, and these [-] pairs of shoes are just a drop in the bucket.

This winter has come, and the weather is getting colder and colder, what should we do if this continues?

Qiao Yurong frowned, and she also knew that Eunuch Mo had done his best.

In ancient times, shoes were made little by little by women's hands. It is not like modern craftsmanship, which can be made by assembly line machines as fast as it needs to be. Therefore, buying [-] pairs of shoes at one time is almost the same as in Beiyang. All the shoes in the city have been emptied.

"How much money is left in the Fuzhong?" Qiao Yurong felt that the most important problem to solve these problems was money.

Eunuch Mo looked up at Qiao Yurong, and said, "I bought 5000 dans of grain and [-] pairs of shoes. In addition to the resettlement of beggars in remote areas, there is probably only less than [-] taels of cash left in the mansion."

Eunuch Mo feels very wronged by Qiao Yurong, why does the prince care about the life and death of those untouchables, there is only less than 5000 taels of silver left, and the expenses of the mansion are not enough, such an expensive person like the prince will have to eat simple food in the future, think so Thinking about it, Eunuch Mo felt very uncomfortable for Qiao Yurong.

When Qiao Yurong heard this, her long eyebrows that reached into her temples furrowed even more.

She now has only 3 taels of silver plus bank notes, and the treasures in the mansion have to be sold, but they can only be sold for a few hundred thousand taels at most, and they may not be sold immediately, unless they are sold at a reduced price, which is so barren in Beiyang City There are not many rich people who can afford it, and even if all the treasures are sold, a few hundred thousand taels is far from enough.

Qiao Yurong counted the number of beggars and refugees in Beiyang City in the tens of thousands, not to mention the number of starving people in the entire Northland. If this winter does not pass, how many people will die. They all need food to fill them. According to Qiao Yurong's estimate, at least several million dans of grain
But all she has now is five thousand dans of grain, and some treasures that have not been sold for silver.
Even if she has a few 10 taels of silver, no food, and no one is willing to sell her food, how will she solve the famine problem in the Northland this year?
After much deliberation, I probably have to sell the treasures I saved for money now. It is important to buy some food first, otherwise the beggars outside the city are still starving in such cold weather, and I am afraid they will not last seven days.

"Old Mo, who is the richest person in Beiyang City?" Qiao Yurong asked.

For the present plan, the only way is to sell the treasure first.

Eunuch Mo's eyes flashed: "What does the prince want to do?"

Qiao Yurong had no choice but to tell Eunuch Mo about selling the baby for money to buy food.

Only by talking, can Eunuch Mo think of a way for himself.

Eunuch Mo's eyes hurt greatly when he heard this, but he also knew that Qiao Yurong was going to work hard, so he just nodded respectfully and said, "Now the richest man in Beiyang City is Lai Fuliang."

　Thank you for the two recommended votes voted by the balloon, okay!
