Happy Little Scholar

Of course the Cui family will lose money.

They lost their minds and spent a lot of jewelry and silver in exchange for a bunch of worthless junk. Who would lose if they didn't lose?

But everyone knows that this cannot be blamed on the Cui family. After all, colored glaze has been an extremely precious treasure from ancient times to the present. This is not only reflected in its value, but also in its significance.

Crystal clear, with flowing brilliance, it is very eye-catching. It is also a Buddhist treasure, symbolizing blessing and luck. Ordinary people will never see it in their lifetime. Who would have thought that this wonderful treasure would become a treasure overnight? The cabbages on the roadside and the glass jewelry that were worth three thousand taels of silver not long ago can only be used as shopping for clothes. Buy one and get two free, one in the sky and one on the ground. No matter how smart a person is, no matter how smart you are, you can't think of it. No wonder the Cui family will suffer a loss.

Things are more expensive when they are scarce. This is all because too much colored glaze has emerged in Kyoto in a short period of time. The price of colored glaze is almost falling every day. Crystal clear and colorful things are beautiful, but crystal clear and colorful things , all over Kyoto, who else would be curious about it?

At this time, all the dignitaries in Kyoto were dumbfounded.

A few months ago, the glassware they had spent thousands of taels of silver on had become worthless in the blink of an eye. This made everyone feel uncomfortable.

This time, they were severely harmed by the Wang family.

The monks were equally dumbfounded.

Other people's glass jewelry items cost at most a thousand taels, but none of their glass Buddha statues cost less than ten thousand taels...

There are countless people who secretly complain about the royal family and the Wang family, but they dare not show it openly.

After all, any one of the two families is extremely powerful, and even the powerful cannot afford to offend them.

However, when they heard that the head of the Wang family smashed hundreds of pieces of glassware into pieces in front of everyone, their complaints became much less intense and turned into ridicule and gloating.

The Wang family actually still has so many glazed wares. They must be thinking about making a few more windfalls in the future. Otherwise, why would they hold a glazed appreciation party? Now that glazed ware is worthless, they are certainly losing money, but compared to the losses of the Wang family, it is nothing. A drop in the bucket, nothing.

People are always like this. When they are unlucky, they will feel better knowing that others are more unlucky than themselves.

Of course, they were not all losses. The glass sold to them by the royal family and the Wang family was all for the purpose of raising donations. Everyone was registered, and a large part of it was returned to the national treasury. At least it left a foundation with His Majesty, which can prove that they He has also done his best for the country, and not all his money has been wasted.

The Cui family is different.

According to careful calculations, the Cui family's losses this time are at least more than four million taels. What is the concept of four million taels? It is almost as much as one-third of Jingguo's annual tax revenue.

This number, no matter how deep the Cui family's background is, is a painful blow to them, so painful that it breaks their muscles and bones, shakes their foundation, and cannot be recovered without years of rest.

Today, everyone understands.

The Wang family, the Cui family, the big and small dignitaries in Kyoto, and even the royal family were all fooled by those foreign businessmen.

Since Liuli became a commodity on the street, those foreign merchants have disappeared without a trace. They suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly, taking away a large amount of silver, completely ignoring some people in Kyoto. For a long time, they only I can live a life of tighter belts.

"Damn foreign merchants!" So much so that this sentence has become a classic that people in Kyoto often talk about.

Where those foreign merchants went is an unsolved mystery even many years later.

…

…

"Hehe, I want to... a house. Bring me here!"

"I agreed that my house... will be opposite to yours..."

"I have to go back, pick Xiaolian... over, and get married..."

Li Yi looked at the laughing figures in front of him, waved his hands, and said, "Go to Mr. Lu for these matters yourself, and he will arrange them for you."

As long as they earn enough points, they can exchange for what they need, whether it is money, a house, or even advice from top experts, all points are clearly marked. This is the rule of the Liu League. Li Yicong From the beginning, there was no intention to tie them up with affection or any imaginary things. Real benefits are the strongest bond to maintain the relationship.

Of course, everything is not so unkind. Miss Liu Er doesn't understand this, but Lu Luo knows how to win people's hearts to the maximum extent.

When they were leaving, Li Yi reminded them uneasily: "Remember not to talk to people like that when you go out, you will be beaten to death, and remember to tell them."

Fanbang merchants are now in Kyoto, and everyone is shouting to beat them up. If they are discovered, it will definitely not be as simple as beating them up.

"Sorry, Xi, I'm used to it." A man touched his head awkwardly before leaving with a few others.

In fact, they don't need to report to Li Yi specifically about Liuli, but these people are different. They are the ones in contact with Qi State. The news that Liuli is worthless will soon reach Qi State, and some arrangements there will be made. They also need to implement it in the past.

"Uncle, is it too...too much for us to make money like this?" Lao Fang scratched his head, but in the end he couldn't hold back a complete sentence.

Two years ago, he was still struggling for a few pennies. Only a short time later, the money he handled was counted in millions of taels. Looking back, he always felt uneasy in his heart.

"It's a bit too much." Li Yi nodded. Although this way of making money is fast, it looks similar to cheating. If you cheat too many people, you will be punished.

However, the old emperor personally participated in this matter. Without his approval, there would be no glass charity sale. Even if there is retribution, the royal family and the Wang family are much more famous than his Li family...

"The soup is ready. I'll go and see." Li Yi walked towards the kitchen and waved to him, "You go and get busy. When you pass by Yangliu Lane, bring me some osmanthus cakes."

They are now in the new house in Kyoto.

This place is not far from the College of Calculation and the Imperial Palace. The environment is quiet and there is a distance from the noisy market. There is a slope behind the house. The slope is not steep, but standing on the top of the slope, you can overlook the surrounding scenery. The most conspicuous is the sparkling artificial lake of the College of Calculation. At dusk, holding Ruyi's hand and taking a walk there, it should feel pretty good...

What he has to do every day now is probably to get up early, walk through a few streets before the morning market is over, buy some fresh vegetables, and sometimes carry a fresh fish. Stop at Yangliu Lane to rest for a while, and go home to prepare to cook when the sun rises to 45 degrees.

All the procedures do not need to be handled by servants. At most, the little maid helps him choose vegetables and light the fire. At this time, Yongning will move a small stool to sit down and watch. The arrogant loli wants to help but always makes trouble...

This kind of life is very good.

Li Yi filled a bowl of soup and took a sip. The taste was not strong enough, so he decided to boil it for a while. He was reluctant to waste the soup after only drinking a sip, so he put it on the stone table outside and went to the back to call Xiaohuan out to drink it.

The soup is for Ruyi to nourish her body and protect her pregnancy, but it is also good for ordinary women to drink it. It can beautify the skin, enlarge breasts and promote lactation. Little maids should drink more. This is the secret recipe of the old monk Tanyin. It is said to be for protecting the pregnancy. Li Yi found a similar recipe in the book, but the effects described are more...

Xiaohuan was not found. Maybe she went to play with the arrogant loli. When Li Yi came back, he saw someone sitting at the stone table and the bowl of soup was empty.

"This soup tastes good."

"It has been boiled for a long time. It is very good for the body." Li Yi looked at the middle-aged man sitting there and smiled, "If you like it, drink more."
