Small courtyard.
Zhu Wanqiu is counting money happily.
"Eight hundred coins... nine hundred coins... one thousand coins..."
"Wow, sir, we have so much money!"
The little girl smiled sweetly, her eyes turning into crescent moons.
Although the money was not too much, it was nothing to Princess Anle.
But all this money was earned by my husband-in-law, so the meaning is completely different.
Su Yang smiled and touched her head and joked: "I didn't expect that our Xiaowan is still a little money-lover!"
"Humph!" The little girl slapped Su Yang's paw off and continued to count the money enthusiastically.
The couple counted carefully and then calculated that they made a total of forty-seven taels of silver today.
This is because there is a price difference between copper coins and silver. Otherwise, today's income would go straight to fifty taels of silver.
During the Hongwu period, the imperial court ordered one tael of silver to be worth one thousand copper coins. However, due to the scarcity of silver and the excessive issuance of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes by the court, the value of silver continued to rise. Therefore, the current market price is generally one tael of silver to be equivalent to one thousand two hundred coins, which is high. The time is even worth fifteen hundred coins!
The little girl counted the money, took out one tael of silver and gave it to Su Yang, put the rest into the money bag, and then put the money bag into the small box.
"Hehe, sir, we are rich now. You will no longer have to do hard work in the future."
"I'm going to sleep with this little box in my arms tonight, and then I'm going to hold my husband in my arms."
Su Yang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.
"Silly girl, you don't mind being panicked!"
"What's this little money? When Guo You and Lu Xiong start business, we will have at least a hundred taels of silver in our account every month. Your little box won't fit in it!"
Hearing this, the little girl's eyes widened.
"Is it true, sir, that you have one hundred taels of silver every month?"
"But we don't have to do anything at all?"
"At least one hundred taels!" Su Yang smiled.
As long as the first business is done well, it is no longer difficult to support the family.
The popular scene of hanging oven roast duck in the market today is enough to prove that there is no shortage of market for hanging oven roast duck.
This is something Su Yang didn't expect!
So he directly changed his plan and brought Guo You and Lu Xiong in.
Guo You is the son of Guo Zi, the chief envoy of Peking, while Lu Xiong's father, Lu Zhen, is the chief inspector of Peking.
These two people are very interesting. When Zhu Dijing was unable to raise troops, they surrendered on the spot without any civil servant integrity.
After that, the two of them rose up the ranks in the Yongle Dynasty and became Zhu Di's confidants.
Guo Ziguan went to Peiping to serve as Shangshu. Before the Yongle court moved the capital, he took charge of all affairs in Peiping.
And Lu Zhen became the head of the court, reaching the rank of Minister of Rites, ranking first among the hundred officials!
It's just that these two people don't have a very good reputation.
But this is not a problem for Su Yang.
Guo Zi now covers the sky with one hand in Peiping, and almost all restaurants, big and small, are properties under his name.
So the hanging oven roast duck was left to Guo You. Su Yang believed that the roast duck would appear in major restaurants in a few days.
Moreover, Suyang introduced a new way of eating roast duck. It mainly eats the skin, with roast duck pancakes, white shredded green onions, and dipped in sweet noodle sauce. Eat a bite that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, leaving a fragrant mouthfeel.
Su Yang believes that this unique feature alone is enough to sweep the roast duck market and become the only one of its kind.
The amount of money that comes into the account every month will definitely not be less than a hundred taels!
Thinking about it, Su Yang took out a pen and paper and began to roughly calculate the income.
Originating from mathematics engraved in the bones, groups of numbers appear on the ledger.
The little girl was originally worried about what to do if there was so much money and the small box couldn't fit in it.
Seeing that Su Yang was writing something, she couldn't help but take a curious look.
"Ms. sir, what are you writing?"
"These words are so strange, they don't look like the words of our Ming Dynasty."
"Hmm..." Su Yang replied casually.
The account books were written in Arabic numerals, but if they were to be understood, they had to be written in today's Ming Dynasty script.
"Mr. sir, what do these symbols mean?"
Su Yang smiled and said, "This is a formula in mathematics, specially used for calculations. It is very convenient for calculating accounts!"
Zhu Wanqiu: "???"
scare?
math?
formula?
what is that?
The little girl was a little troubled, but when she heard that this thing could be used to settle accounts, she immediately became interested!
"Ms. sir, can you teach me?"
"Huh?" Su Yang glanced at his little wife in surprise, "Do you want to learn from Xiaowan? Why?"
"Because I have to settle accounts!" Zhu Wanqiu waved her little fist, "My husband said that the money at home will be more and more in the future, but I don't know how to count, so that won't work!"
"I have to fulfill my duties as the husband-in-law's wife, and all the money in the house must be managed by me, so I must learn to do math and abacus!"
Seeing her like this, Su Yang burst into laughter.
"You, you, are really a little money addict!"
"It's not impossible to learn if you want to, but this thing is too difficult. My husband is afraid that you won't be able to persevere!"
Just kidding, future generations of students are well aware of the lethality of mathematics!
Difficulties will make you suffer, and life will make you succumb...Only mathematics will not do it, and if it doesn't, it won't!
The little girl's face turned bitter when she heard this, but she still gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Hmph, sir, don't underestimate me, I will definitely learn from it!"
"Okay, let me compile a textbook for you."
"Huh? You also need textbooks? Is it so difficult?"
"Yes, are you ready to learn?"
"Hmph, learn!"
From then on, Su Yang's top priority was to write a mathematics textbook for his young wife.
Well, let’s start with elementary school math!
As for whether the little girl can learn it, Su Yang actually doesn't have high hopes.
But since she has this enthusiasm, Su Yang is also happy to see it happen.
What if the little girl learns it!
Then she will be his good wife from now on!
At the same time, Prince Yan’s Mansion.
The imperial envoy team arrived at the door, and the atmosphere was solemn!
Zhu Gaochi put on the robe of Prince Yan and led everyone in the palace to welcome him out.
The great eunuch Zhou Shu only saw him, and his expression suddenly darkened.
The imperial envoy was in person, but King Yan Zhu Di did not come out to greet him in person!
Zhu Di, Zhu Di, you are so grand!
"May I ask, Prince Yan, where is His Highness the Prince of Yan?"
"Your Majesty has a decree. Isn't His Highness the King of Yan prepared to come out in person to receive the decree?"
Zhou Shu's tone was already very stern, and the accompanying guards put their hands on their waists, ready to take action if they disagreed!
Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and showed a bitter smile.
"Forgive me, special envoy. It's not that my father doesn't want to accept the order, but that he can't accept the order now!"
Everyone: "???"
Um?
Can't accept the order?
What does this mean?
Zhou Shu's face darkened. He had already learned from Bao Zhao that King Zhu Di of Yan had been pretending to be ill!
Is it possible that you still want to rely on the excuse of pretending to be sick and continue to muddle through?
"Asshole!"
"Why can't you accept the order?"
“Your Majesty’s will is before you, who dares to disrespect it?”
"Where is King Yan Zhu Di now? As long as he is still breathing, he must come to receive the order!"
This was said in an extremely rude manner, making everyone's hearts tremble.
No matter how coaxing you are, Zhu Di, you wouldn't dare to disobey the order, right?
However, in the face of the rebuke from the eunuch Zhou Shu, Zhu Gaochi remained calm.
"Special envoy, the situation is really not allowable!"
"My father is... crazy!"
Everyone: "!!!"
King Yan, are you crazy?
