  Chapter 180

  Using the right method to impress the people in Huai Palace, Song Jiyun nodded in satisfaction.

  Huaiwang Mansion has always ordered porcelain from Li's Kiln Factory, lost the business of Huaiwang Mansion, the loss of money is not big, but the reputation is greatly affected.

  She and Zheng Quan stood on a tree-lined hillside, not far away was the construction site of a dragon kiln in full swing.

   "Li Zixiu won't just let it go." Zheng Quan said.

   "I'm afraid he'll just let it go," Song Jiyun sneered in her heart, and she said to Zheng Quan, "You and Mr. Zheng will go to Shangrao to finalize the order for Prince Huai's Mansion."

  Mr. Zheng is the master painter in their kiln factory.

   Craftsmen passing by their side from time to time.

  Song Jiyun signaled Zheng Quan to go to the work shed at the foot of the mountain to talk.

   Zheng Quan promised, and while protecting Song Jiyun to go down to the foot of the mountain, he said, "When will the Dragon Kiln be lit? Do you want He Dazhi and the others to watch it?"

  With fragrant leaves and herbs guarding Song Jiyun's side, he can also take a breather.

  Song Jiyun knew that he was worried about Li Zixiu, she smiled and said, "He's not that stupid. Not to mention whether the dragon kiln can be fired, even if it can be fired, it's not our family's business."

  People in Jingdezhen are now watching. Half of them think that Song Jiyun can be fired into a dragon kiln, and half of them think that Song Jiyun has made a lot of money recently, and his spirit is high, and he is messing around.

  Some kiln owners are willing to bet on Song Jiyun's success, and they found Song Jiyun's here through many contacts, and wanted to use her dragon kiln to burn some porcelain.

  Song Cumulus agreed.

   However, the wages received are not cheap.

"When to order the kiln depends on when the Changjiang gang has finished building the kiln." Song Jiyun and Zheng Quan turned sideways, letting a worker with a wheelbarrow go first, "Half of the Changjiang masters in Jingdezhen are in this kiln factory. , if they don’t build it well, it’s not our family’s signboard that they smashed.”

  She half-jokingly said, nodded to Xiaogong who nodded gratefully to her, and walked down the hillside.

  *

  Back to Liang County, when Li Zixiu was worried about losing the order from Prince Huai’s Mansion, he heard that Song Jiyun was going to open a dragon kiln.

  He sneered again and again: "I haven't learned how to walk, I just want to run, don't fall so hard that I can't get up."

  He dared not talk to the chief executive who came back from Shangrao.

  Huaiwang Mansion used to ask other kilns to help burn porcelain, but the main porcelain was still entrusted to Li's kiln. This time when they went to Duke Huai's mansion, the long history of Duke Huai's mansion was very indifferent to them, and the housekeeper even shut the door.

   There is no room for maneuver regarding the order.

   At least for next year, it is impossible for them to get orders.

"I knew that Song Youliang had no good intentions when he asked people to send porcelain to the chief manager of Duke Huai's mansion for fun," Li Zixiu gritted his teeth. The jobs in Prince Huai's Mansion are so good!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the old servant at the concierge came in with an embarrassed look and said, "Master, then, that Mr. Wang is here. He said that if you don't go out to see him, he will be hanged at the gate of our house, and let Quan Dezhen Everyone knows that you used money to bribe him to change the glaze for the Songjia kiln factory, but now you took his top bag..."

   Li Zixiu was furious and said, "If he wants to die, let him die."

   also ordered the chief manager: "Go, give him a belt!"

The chief manager knew that he was angry, so he cast his eyes at the concierge, and persuaded him in a gentle voice: "My master, please calm down. Mr. Wang is desperate now, and he is in a hurry to go to the doctor, so don't be as knowledgeable as him. If you make things worse, After all, it is a human life, so there is no need to go to the Yamen for such a person."

  Li Zixiu was taken aback, and said, "What happened?"

  In the past few days, he has been worrying about how to restore the order from Duke Huai's Mansion.

The chief manager told Li Zixiu about the Yanji glaze shop: "The business is getting worse day by day. Even if you go to their shop to buy glazes, you don't need to pay a deposit first. After the porcelain is fired, you need to pay the full amount. .It is to keep the price very low. The shop will either lose money or have to invest a lot of money. All the business has gone to the Xing family. Mr. Wang is crazy, and everyone will say that you are the victim! I want you Pay him ninety thousand taels of silver!"

   "Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" Li Zixiu was furious when he heard the words, recovered his senses and said, "When did I owe him ninety thousand taels of silver?"

  Even if it is a compensation, it is only 80,000 taels of silver.

  The chief manager complained in his heart, thinking that I told you when you just came back, but you didn't think about it, and it seemed like you didn't hear it. What can I do?

   But he couldn’t say that, he still said patiently: “Look, should you invite Mr. Wang in to talk? A group of spectators outside will hinder your reputation after all.”

   "Let him in!" Li Zixiu had no choice but to let Master Wang come in to speak as if he had swallowed a fly.

  Master Wang ran in with a haggard look and disheveled clothes. The image is very embarrassing.

"You pay me money!" He reached out and grabbed Li Zixiu's skirt, "You ruined our family's century-old foundation, and we lost everything! Barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. If you don't pay me money, I will I will die for you!"

Li Zixiu managed to break free from Boss Wang, and scolded: "Are you a woman? You are dying!" He also said: "Did I hurt you? Didn't you agree happily at the time! Why, something happened now , and threw the blame on me! There is no risk in doing anything. You only earn but not lose, how can there be such a good thing!"

  Master Wang was trembling with anger when he heard that, he took Li Zixiu to see the official, and threatened that if Li Zixiu didn't return his 90,000 taels of silver, he and Li Zixiu would perish together.

  Li Zixiu was in a hurry because of the affairs of Duke Huai's mansion, how could he be in the mood to deal with him, seeing him acting like a rascal, there was nothing he could do. But it is impossible for him to pay Master Wang 90,000 taels of silver.

  He tried to reason with Master Wang, but Master Wang insisted on the 90,000 taels he promised that morning.

  The chief executive couldn't stand it any longer, he pulled Li Zixiu beside him and said, "The most urgent thing now is Prince Huai's residence, if you have the time to chat with him about this nonsense, you will lose more than the 10,000 taels."

  Li Zixiu felt that this made sense, but he still felt a little heartbroken if he was asked to take 90,000 taels in one go.

He discussed with Master Wang: "You also know that I went to Shangrao, and I have to go up and down there. Now I really don't have 90,000 taels of silver. Do you think this is okay? I'll give you 20,000 taels first, and then After two months, I'll give you the rest."

  Master Wang left with twenty thousand taels of silver.

  But the next day, he came again: "I don't believe you. If you don't give me the remaining 70,000 taels of silver, I'll go with you to see the official."

  He also said triumphantly: "Didn't you say that you don't deserve my money? Then why are you giving me back twenty thousand taels of silver?"

  Li Zixiu was dumbfounded by his shamelessness.

  Master Wang seems to have found a way to deal with Li Zixiu, and follows Li Zixiu every day. Wherever Li Zixiu went, he went there.

   Li Zixiu saw that this was not an option, so he gritted his teeth and gave him the remaining 70,000 taels.

  Master Wang settled down, but Mrs. Wang said everywhere about Li Zixiu: "It's the root of a bad family! If it weren't for our master's lack of opinions, soft ears, and listening to his words, how could our family end up like this."

  The whole Jingdezhen was talking about Li Zixiu.

  She was still not satisfied, so she ran to Song Jiyun and wanted to tell Song Jiyun about Li Zixiu.
