Mu Yunyao didn't expect him to have such a big reaction, "Actually, it's just some ordinary seasonings, but it requires a lot of effort to stir-fry it, so it's not much more expensive than the rice grains. Actually, there are a lot of merchants that go to different places to do business in the winter, and they will bring some ginger tea with them.
Have you? " Chief Steward Qin was surprised for a moment, and then he shook his head with a wry smile, "I've let the lady down. I accompanied the prince out of the palace, and naturally did not have access to these things in the palace. Later on, I went to western Guangdong, where goods are scarce and there are few people.
He also needed to save a lot of charcoal."In the surrounding cities, the price of rice is too high. The monthly salary that the imperial government pays is not even worth a single liter of rice. Furthermore, the imperial government is deducting the salary as well ..." Listening to Supervisor Qin's narration, Mu Yunyao's heart filled with even more shock. She had only seen the King twice, the first time she had seen him tumbling down the carriage and falling at his feet. At that time, she only felt that the person in front of her felt her entire body as cold as water.
On the other hand, she was sent to the Battle King's Palace by Prince Jin. The room only lasted for a second before she fainted ... Most of the memories regarding King Yue were from the complaints he had heard from King Jin. At that time, King Yue was already in charge of defending the imperial palace and his status was quite impressive. He never thought that he would suffer so much in the west of Cantonese. A prince who was the direct descendant of the empress actually wanted to earn a living ...
If word of this got out, many people would take it as a joke. Steward Qin gave a heavy sigh, "At the age of twelve, the prince arrived in western Guangdong. When he went there, he became seriously ill and almost couldn't be cured. Later on, the prince did his best to develop, but his conditions were limited. Now that winter had arrived, there would often be people starving to death. We wait for these people to accompany His Highness, but they are useless, so we can't help them ...
Do something to him."Thank goodness we have Lady Mu. If this ginger tea can be transported to western Guangdong, it would be of great help."
It was no wonder that Steward Qin would rush to pass the silver taels over to King Yue. He really did lack money. Furthermore, from the looks of it, he was afraid that everything was lacking.
"Since that's the case, I will arrange for a batch of ginger tea to be sent to the prince as soon as possible."
"Alright, many thanks, young lady. Is there anything I can help you with? Please feel free to tell me. I will first return to the brocade garden and write a letter to inform the prince of the good news."
"Yes."
When Steward Qin left, he couldn't bear to part with the ginger tea in his hand, so he carried the bowl away with him. Mu Yunyao looked at his back and couldn't help but smile. She believed that the conditions in western Guangdong weren't good, but it definitely wasn't as miserable as Supervisor Qin had said. After all, if there weren't even any stuttering, how could they have the ability to nurture their own forces? However, all of this had nothing to do with her, she was just ...
He wanted to use Jiang Cha to make Yue Yang owe her a favor. When he reaches great heights in the future, it would be better if he could borrow Jiang Cha's power and act more conveniently.
Mu Yunyao thought carefully for a moment before calling him in.
"Mistress."
"Six taels of silver, do you have anyone skilled in business?" Whether it was six taels of silver, or Manager Qian, Ding Yue, or the others, there were too many people in the Tombal Mountain City who knew of them.
"Yes, he's equally famous. He's good at business."
"Alright." Mu Yunyao nodded and passed the paper in her hand over."Here's what I need. Bring that guy's name to take a look and let him look it up. See how much the price is. Count it into silver and report it to me."
"Yes, Mistress."
On the other side, Steward Qin was carrying a bowl of ginger tea back to the Garden of Embroidery. The smile on his face couldn't be concealed, causing Yu Yi to be extremely curious: "Steward Qin, what are you doing here? It smells pretty good."
Steward Qin quickly dodged, "This is a treasure. Go and entertain the guests quickly. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. I remember that we have a lot of jewelry here later, right?"
"There are a lot of them, but they were left behind by that person. Although Master didn't say anything, we shouldn't use them carelessly ..."
"Pick a set that you can't identify and send it over to Lady Mu."
Yu Yi was shocked: "Supervisor Qin, shouldn't we discuss this with Master?"
"I told you to give it to you, so give it to me. If Master asks, just say that I gave it to you and it won't affect you. Hmph." With that, Steward Qin left with the ginger tea.
After arriving at the study room, he slowly drank the ginger tea and felt warm and full. Steward Qin could not help but sigh. If he had met Lady Mu earlier, Master would not have had to work so hard ...
However, it was not too late for fate to have a chance to drink and peck at everything. The luck of their master had finally arrived!
After finishing the two letters, Steward Qin handed them over to Yu Yi: "Deliver them to Master personally. It's extremely important."
Yu Yi's expression turned cold and he hurriedly nodded."Yes." After Mu Yunyao gave six taels of silver, she watched the progress of the nebula market in peace. Now that there were a few more shops given by Madam Fu, the nebula market was on an even larger scale. She did not plan to rebuild the shops below, but only needed to meticulously repair them and they could still be used as a store of the nebula market for the time being.
。
The Nebula Beauty Book had already been completed. Mu Yunyao carefully checked if there were any problems before sending one to each of the residences as per usual.
As soon as the book was sent out, she received a lot of letters customizing her clothes. It could be said that as soon as she opened her mouth, she would immediately receive close to 40, 000 silvers as payment. It just so happened that she planned to bribe King Yue as this silver was just right for her.
On the other side, Tan Lin, the owner of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion, came to Ziling City in a hurry. He had requested to see County Magistrate Zhao several times, but he was chased out of the Ya Mansion, attracting many people to rush over to watch the show.
Mu Yunyao was in the middle of instructing the embroidery mother to adjust her clothes when Jin Lan walked in quickly with a piece of paper in her hand, "Miss, the owner of the Rainbow Moon Pavilion, Master Tan, has sent a letter. He wishes to meet you."
Mu Yunyao took the invitation and skimmed through it before throwing it to the side, "When you go back, just say that I'm the only one living at home with my mother. It's really inconvenient to travel. It's really inappropriate to receive Master Tan."
"Yes, miss."
Not long after Jinlan left, she brought in another post, "Miss, Master Tan's people want to invite you to have some tea at the Avaricious Restaurant..." Mu Yunyao took the letter and opened it to see the banknotes inside. She counted a bit and a whole twenty thousand silver, "Such a large sum of money ... "However, there's no reason for me to reject the money. Go back and tell them that I came from afar. It's already noon tomorrow, so I'll ask Elder Tan to come to visit me tomorrow."
This grandpa will drink tea."
"Miss, could it be that you intend to let Tan Ba Wang off?" "Jin Lan couldn't stop herself from asking." "I am just a seller, not an official. It doesn't count even if I say so. As for the details of the verdict, it is still about the magistrate's order. When I see Master Tan, of course, I want to discuss business."
