  Chapter 178

"Fortunately, Huiqing is only used for high-grade porcelain. We checked in time and only lost one kiln. Our kiln factory lost not much, just over three hundred taels. But if we sell all of them, we can't afford it Earn five thousand taels. You are also an expert, you can figure this out yourself, I didn't blackmail you, you know it in your heart.

   "The main thing is that the work and production were suspended in those few days, the wages of the kiln workers and master craftsmen were subsidized, and the money paid to those merchants was compensated. Back and forth, inside and out, 50,000 taels couldn't be beat, and 80,000 taels was about the same."

   "How come there are so many?!" Master Wang immediately jumped up when he heard it, "It's only seven or eight thousand taels at most."

"Really?" Song Jiyun twitched his lips slightly, with a little sarcasm in his smile, and said leisurely, "That's another kiln. They can burn 30 to 40% of a kiln at most, and earn one to two thousand Two taels of silver. But my kiln factory has a finished product rate of about 70 to 80 percent. You can calculate for yourself whether you can earn five thousand taels of silver.

"Then there are other expenses. Other kilns have fired shocking glazes, and most of them are hidden, for fear of ruining their reputation. I have nothing to say to others, and I send people to check the inventory, and I send them People recover the sold porcelain, and the compensation is doubled, not counting the damage to their reputation.

   "Eighty thousand taels, I can't overestimate, right?"

   She said, looking at Master Wang with piercing eyes, as if if he dared to say "no", she would take out the bill and pay him a pen to settle it with him.

  Master Wang’s face was full of bitterness, and he said after a while: “This, this is too much!”

  He begged for mercy: "Can I have a little less?"

Song Jiyun hid the needle in his mouth and said with a smile: "I also know that it is difficult for you to take out so much money all at once, but since this matter is caused by your brother-in-law, you see, do you want to tell your father-in-law? I just want to Buy a few mud pits and let his old man convert their mud pits to me."

  Mrs. Wang’s family also makes porcelain raw materials.

   It's just a kaolin business.

  Master Wang broke out in a cold sweat when he heard it, and quickly said: "How can this be done! How can this be done!"

  Song Jiyun smiled and said: "Can't you discuss it with your father-in-law? Or are you unwilling to convert the mud pit to me?"

  The former proves that he is lying, and the latter proves that he is greedy.

  He always chooses the same.

  Master Wang was hesitating and hemming, and what he said was confusing. Listening carefully, he could neither go to his father-in-law nor sell the mud pit to her.

  Song Jiyun didn't force himself, he brought tea to the guests with a smile, and said: "When will Master Wang think it over clearly, it won't be too late for us to discuss it in detail."

  Master Wang probably didn't expect her to open his mouth like a lion, and it took time to digest it, so he left in a calm manner.

  But it took only one day for Master Wang to "clear". He took 80,000 taels of silver notes to Song Jiyun, and apologized to Song Jiyun again.

  Song Jiyun accepted the banknote, turned around and asked someone to pass on what she had said to Master Wang.

  Jingdezhen immediately began to spread the news that Mr. Wang had a bad brother-in-law, and it became a conclusion that Yanji Glaze Shop was the culprit that caused the Songjia Kiln Factory to panic.

Of course, there are also people who are not used to the Songjia Kiln Factory: "Then you can't blame the glaze shop. Don't you look carefully after getting the glaze? Songjia Kiln Factory is also known as the number one in Jingdezhen." , I don't think so?"

   It's just that this voice was quickly drowned out by more gossip.

  Recently, the most talked about is the compensation of the Songjia Kiln Factory: "I heard that someone specially collected a truckload of shocking glazed porcelain and corrupted the three Buddha statues of the Songjia Kiln Factory!"

  Zhou Zheng was so angry when he heard this, he found Song Jiyun and said, "I don't know who spread the word! It was obvious that we figured it out on the spot, but how did it spread back and forth? It turned out that we were deceived!"

   "I let it spread." Song Jiyun smiled, "As soon as this rumor came out, did our kiln factory become the object of everyone's sympathy, and no one talked about the shocking glaze fired in our house anymore."

  Zhou Zheng thought about it carefully, and it was true.

  Song Jiyun took the opportunity to say: "Many people like to sympathize with the weak. Sometimes, it is not a bad thing for us to be weaker."

   But Mr. Wang said that the words of his brother-in-law reached Mrs. Wang's ears, but Mrs. Wang refused.

When Master Wang was about to go out, she stopped her: "Did I marry without dowry or rations? Did my natal brother take a piece of gauze from you or wear a piece of clothing from you? You said he was not angry, so why is he not angry?" Did you help him? What did you do to help him? If you don’t speak clearly today, don’t even try to get out of this door.”

  Master Wang said in a low voice: "Isn't this a mistake in the shop, so we have to find someone who can afford it?"

   Mrs. Wang sneered: "Why don't you let your brother take the lead? Do you want to use my brother as the leader?"

   "My brother doesn't have as much face as your brother!" Master Wang said left and right, "This is also for the good of our family's business!"

  Mrs. Wang didn't listen at all, she just refused to let her go, and asked him to find a way to clarify that this matter had nothing to do with her natal brother.

  The two had a fight.

  When Master Wang arrived at Li Zixiu's house, his face was scratched by Mrs. Wang so **** and dripping.

  Li Zixiu was dumbfounded: "What's wrong with you?"

   "Don't mention it!" Master Wang was helpless, told what happened, and said, "I was hurt because of you, brother!"

  Li Zixiu laughed loudly, and cupped his hands towards Master Wang: "Brother's righteousness, I will remember it!"

He ordered someone to bring the silver bill to Master Wang, poured a cup of tea for Master Wang himself, and said with a smile: "It is agreed, no matter how much money the Song family needs to pay, I will pay for it. I will offer another ten thousand Two silvers is the tea fee for my brother."

  Master Wang laughed, and talked about Song Jiyun: "After all, it is a woman's family, with long hair and short knowledge, and a mere 80,000 taels of silver is enough."

  He also persuaded Li Zixiu: "Just take 80,000 taels of silver and have some fun."

  Li Zixiu goes to Suzhou Mansion every year to eat, drink and gamble for more than this money, he doesn't feel bad.

   "I will invite you to listen to Pingtan in Suzhou some other day!" Li Zixiu warmly invited Master Wang, "If you want to say what is good in this world, it has to belong to Suzhou and Hangzhou."

   "It's easy to say! Easy to say!" Master Wang nodded repeatedly.

The head manager of Li's kiln ran in sweating profusely: "Master, it's not good! People from the Huai Palace said that we don't need our house to send daily porcelain to their house in the future. They are going to send it from the Song family The kiln bought it!"

   "What?!" Li Zixiu was so startled that the teacup in his hand almost dropped, "What did you say?"

   he asked in disbelief.

The chief steward repeated the words, and said: "I have already inquired clearly. It is said that Zheng Quan from the Songjia kiln factory brought a set of alum red snow scene hexagonal bowls, and sent them to the old man of the Huai palace through the chief steward of the Huai palace. The old concubine liked it very much when she saw it, she immediately saw Zheng Quan, and ordered a set of tea sets in Zheng Quan's hand, saying that she would give it to Concubine Wan Gui in the palace.

   "Then the palace informed us that we no longer need to send porcelain to the Huai Palace, and the Song family will supply porcelain instead."
