Li Xiao then walked towards Jin Fengluan Jewelry Shop.
Zhu Di gave himself two thousand taels, and there was still a thousand taels of silver notes left in his pocket.
Li Xiao plans to buy five hundred taels of gold and silver jewelry.
The remaining five hundred taels were exchanged for five hundred taels of snowflake silver and placed in the box.
With cloth, medicinal materials, jewelry, and silver, there are almost a dozen wooden boxes.
Not to mention the grand ostentation, it was basically passable in terms of appearance.
Half an hour later, Li Xiao arrived at Jin Fengluan Jewelry Shop.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Li Xiao coming in that day, he became excited on the spot.
"This is Mr. Li Xiao, welcome, welcome!"
The shopkeeper immediately came over with a smile on his face.
Since the last lantern festival, Jin Fengluan's business has improved a lot.
The main reason is that half of Peiping saw the fireworks that day.
Fireworks that can write words in the sky are called miracles.
And the sound that Jin Fengluan sent out was: The person who performed such a miracle was the distinguished guest of their Jin Fengluan.
The subtext is: Look, come to our Jinfengluan Jewelry Shop to buy jewelry. Your lover will be able to catch the moon in the sky and catch turtles in the oceans for you. Love is stronger than gold!
Therefore, the noble ladies in Beiping City are even more attracted to Jin Fengluan Jewelry Shop.
Naturally, they also hope that wearing Jin Feng Luan's jewelry will make their dead ghosts look at them more.
"Young master, are you buying jewelry for your lover?"
the shopkeeper asked.
Li Xiao nodded: "Yes, your eyesight is really good!"
"Please come inside."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Master Xiao, come and buy it. Our store is offering a 40% discount."
Hearing this, Li Xiao was slightly startled.
I heard that this Jin Feng Luan is never discounted!
"What are the conditions?"
Li Xiao didn't know what he had done to improve their business, and felt that it was a bit fishy.
"Young master, you are really quick to talk."
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said, "As long as the young master admits that he showed a miracle to his beloved that day, he is our guest at Jin Fengluan."
It's advertising again.
But it’s a trivial matter and there’s no difficulty.
If you get a 40% discount, you can buy more jewelry.
Li Xiao smiled and said: "No problem!"
Seeing that Li Xiao agreed, the shopkeeper was happy:
"Mr. Xiao, please show you the best stuff inside!"
at the same time.
Dadongzhuang.
Li Xiao's salt farm is still under construction in an orderly manner.
But the original owner of the salt mine became a little uneasy after hearing the news.
"Lao Liu, have you really inquired clearly?"
"Can the poisonous salt mine produce salt??"
The old man who spoke was Zhang Maojin from the Zhang family. He was trembling a little as he spoke, and his eyes were as wide as bells, not to mention how penetrating he was.
Zhang Maojin, a squire of the Dadongzhuang generation, owned nearly 800 acres of fertile land in this area.
His ancestors became Jinshi and became officials in the Yuan Dynasty.
During the change of dynasties in the first year of Hongwu, many Yuan Dynasty officials retained their positions, and his eldest brother was one of them. Of course, he is now buried.
However, there is still a nephew who is currently on duty at the court.
Therefore, he is considered a prominent figure in Dadongzhuang's generation.
Now that I heard that salt came out of the salt mine, I felt bad.
Doesn't this mean giving away gold and silver to others with nothing?
"Dad, it's true."
"I secretly went to Zhang Asan's house last night, and it took a lot of effort to pry his mouth open."
"The factory where he worked was the factory where salt was finally produced."
"He watched the white salt being made with his own eyes. He said the salt was like snowflakes. He had never seen such good salt."
The sixth son of the Zhang family became more and more excited as he talked, spitting:
"On the same day, Li Xiongzhi sent people to take him to the city. When he came back, he came back empty-handed. He must have sold it."
"Such good salt, but now the Salt Transportation Department has posted a notice raising the purchase price by 30%. I'm afraid it can be sold for one penny per pound."
"In three days, they produced five thousand kilograms of salt. This is a huge profit!"
The words fell.
In the hall, everyone in the Zhang family was stunned.
Earn five hundred taels of silver in three days.
This is too profitable!
As for Zhang Maojin, he was in a sluggish state.
I couldn't even come to my senses for a while!
Seeing this, the eldest son of the Zhang family grabbed Lao Liu by the collar and said loudly: "Lao Liu, you are not in the mood to talk nonsense! What you said is too unbelievable. There is no way that the salt mountain can produce salt!"
"Brother, I really didn't say anything nonsense."
Seeing that his family didn't believe him, Lao Liu hurriedly explained: "I was also worried that Ah Si was talking nonsense. Later I went to find Zhang Daniu."
"What do you think Zhang Daniu said?"
He vowed: "Everyone in the village knows that Zhang Daniu is an honest man. He can't beat a fart with a stick. What he said is exactly the same as Zhang Asi!"
"In other words, is it true that the salt mine produces salt?"
The Zhang family boss said half-convinced.
"It's absolutely true. Even if we don't believe it, word has spread in the village that the salty snow is so white that it makes people drool."
The sixth child of the Zhang family said vividly.
hiss.
Almost everyone gasped.
In other words, they really made a fortune by giving away the gold mountain left behind by their ancestral property to others.
The room was quiet.
The eldest son of the Zhang family frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Maojin:
"Dad, what do you think about this?"
Zhang Maojin leaned on the old man's stool, silent, his face ashen.
The sixth son of the Zhang family lowered his head and complained: "Dad, you are really stupid. You only sold such a huge gold mountain for fifty taels of silver!"
He is the youngest in the family. He has not liked to work since he was a child and has been idle all day long.
I have already begun to have my own thoughts.
It wasn't just him, other people also had other ideas.
"father."
"Dad, please come up with an idea."
"Old man, look at it"
Seeing the silence of the head of the family, the sons and daughter-in-law also began to become a little anxious.
a long time.
Zhang Maojin became impatient with the noise and slammed the table with his crutch.
"What's the fuss about?"
He yelled: "We all sold our land to them and signed an unrelated deed. What else can we do but admit defeat! He can make salt because he has the ability!"
A scolding.
Suddenly the opium was silent.
In Nuo Da's room, one could only hear each other's breathing, and the silence was terrifying.
They each made their own calculations in their minds.
If it is true, the amount of silver that Salt Mountain can produce in a year is probably tens of thousands of taels! !
What a huge income that is!
Salt Mountain is still their ancestral property.
They were used by outsiders to make money.
This kind of thing is indeed unacceptable!
The other sons and daughters-in-law did not dare to speak out and looked at Lao Liu one after another.
When the sixth child of the Zhang family saw this, he stood up and said indignantly:
"Dad, we can't swallow this breath."
"My son has found out everything."
"The owner of the mine is named Li Xiao."
"No background, just a farmer in Wanping County."
"The manager of the salt farm is called Li Xiongzhi, and he lives in the same village as him."
"He's just a farmer."
"The dozens of people who work in the salt field all have the surname Zhang."
"That salt mine also belongs to Dadongzhuang."
"His grandma's! Two people named Li came to our territory in Dadongzhuang and made money from us named Zhang. Can we swallow this?"
As soon as this statement came out.
The anger in the hearts of the dozen or so people in the Zhang family was ignited.
The atmosphere suddenly became heated!
