How crazy was the daughter of an ancient aristocratic family when shopping?
As long as they like a certain piece of clothing, they will just buy a box of it.
After buying them back, they will definitely not wear all of them themselves, some of them will be given away.
In addition, they don’t consider size issues.
Because who doesn’t have a tailor anymore?
There are even daughters from aristocratic families who are good at female celebrities themselves.
This is why Ye Yan only plans to sell these clothes once.
As long as it is sold, it becomes the family's property.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as a copyright patent. Otherwise, the craftsmen and masters would not teach their disciples to keep their hands, which would lead to the inheritance of many excellent cultures being inferior to each other from one generation to the next.
Soon, all the clothes were sold out.
Ye Yan estimated the profits in his mind.
He sells each set of clothes for 200 to 400 taels, and he directly prices the colorful feather coats at 1,000 taels.
In total, he sold almost 1 million taels of silver.
He had prepared so much and used the influence of all parties, but it was not even one-fifth of Ye Yucheng's promise.
But 1 million taels is already a lot.
Even if there is no auction revenue from the charity banquet, this much money is barely enough to help the people of the Daqian Dynasty survive this snow disaster.
If the income from the auction is included, the overall income this time will exceed 10 million taels.
This is equivalent to one-fifth of the annual treasury of the Daqian Dynasty.
This is because the Daqian Dynasty was in its prime, otherwise the treasury would only have so much money a year.
All I can say is that Ye Yucheng was a bit ruthless this time. I really don’t know what the Zhang family did to offend Ye Yucheng so harshly.
In the plot of the novel, Ye Yan had no time to write about the love and hatred between the Zhang family and Ye Yucheng.
With the lessons learned from Lin Ranyu's mother, Ye Yan no longer dared to say that he was omniscient and omnipotent.
With an idea in mind, Ye Yan gave an overview of the income to Lin Xianyu, a young lady from aristocratic families who could be counted as half of the participants.
Lin Xianyu said happily: "Great, with so much money, the people of the Daqian Dynasty will definitely be able to survive this disaster."
But as soon as Lin Xianyu finished speaking, an unceremonious voice came over.
"What are sister and His Highness talking about? They are having so much fun."
Who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Ranyu? Ye Chen also followed her to the backstage.
Ye Chen didn't say anything, he just glanced at Lin Xianyu and immediately looked away.
As the sages say, don’t look at anything inappropriate.
He didn't want to be rude in front of Lin Xianyu again, even though Lin Xianyu was extremely beautiful when she smiled.
Ye Yan and Lin Xianyu could naturally recognize Lin Ranyu's voice, and they looked in the direction of the sound.
Ye Chen immediately acted like he was here to do business and said to Ye Yan first: "Seventh brother, my father and mother have returned to the palace. Is everything going well on your side?"
"It went very well, all were sold." Ye Yan replied with a smile.
Ye Chen nodded and continued: "This time my father took 5 million taels of silver from the Zhang family. According to my father's wishes, he will hand over all the silver to us.
This much money will definitely not be used up just to deal with this snow disaster. Seventh brother, do you have any good ideas?
What I want is to distribute the money directly so that people can buy whatever they want. "
"This is not good." Ye Yan objected.
"Brother, don't think that ten million taels of silver is a lot of money, but if you really want to distribute it to the people, everyone can't get much.
We must do the work of giving out porridge.
And the remaining silver..."
Speaking of this, Ye Yan gave Lin Ranyu a secret look.
Lin Yu was a good talker, so how could he not understand Ye Yan's meaning.
She continued what Ye Yan said: "For the remaining silver, I have an immature idea. I gave a few words to His Highness the Seventh Prince before.
When I think about it, I will tell you, His Highness the Fourth Prince.
It is up to His Highness the Fourth Prince to decide what to do in the end. "
Ye Chen did not doubt that he had it, but he was curious: "What is the general idea?"
Having cooperated with Lin Ranyu so many times, we have a tacit understanding even with less words.
This time Ye Yan took over the conversation in time.
"The second lady wants to make a stove out of iron. With this stove, people can use black stone to keep warm."
"Can I use black stone for heating?"
Two surprised voices sounded, and Lin Xianyu and Ye Chen both looked at Ye Yan.
"Yes, with this stove, people no longer need to be afraid of the toxicity of black stone."
Black stone is what modern people call coal.
Ancient people did not understand the technology of desulfurizing coal, and people may die if they use coal.
Therefore, ancient people did not use coal for heating. Coal was mostly used for smelting.
But even with Ye Yan's confirmation, Ye Chen still turned his head to Lin Yuyu in disbelief.
"Second Miss, is this true?"
Facing Ye Chen's inquiry, Lin Ranyu nodded and said, "It's true. I've tried it in private, but it still needs to be perfected."
In fact, she had no idea what kind of fire could make the black stone suddenly lose its toxicity.
But because Ye Yan said this, she chose to believe it.
Hearing Lin Ranyu's answer, Ye Chen took a breath of cold air.
Then, with the three people watching, he bowed to Lin Yuyu and said, "Then I'll leave this matter to you, Miss Second.
If this magical stove can be built, then no one in our Daqian Dynasty will die of cold. "
Lin Ranyu quickly got out of the way, she couldn't afford Ye Chen's gift.
"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has spoken seriously, please get up quickly."
Seeing that the scene suddenly became serious, Ye Yan interjected: "Brother Huang, this matter is not settled yet, so you don't have to be too happy.
To do this, you need a lot of iron. "
Iron, like salt, is a controlled substance in ancient times.
If you want to use a lot of iron, not even Ye Chen can have the final say.
Hearing the hidden meaning of Ye Yan's words, Ye Chen thought for a while and said solemnly: "Leave this matter to me, and I will try to get my father to issue an order."
This is what Ye Yan wants.
After continuing to talk for a few more words, the two sisters Lin Xianyu and Lin Ranyu returned to the Taifu's Mansion hand in hand, while Ye Yan and Ye Chen returned to the palace.
First there was the auction, then there was the sale of clothes.
It's getting late today.
On the way back to Taifu's Mansion.
Lin Xianyu and Lin Ranyu were walking side by side. Before Lin Xianyu was about to get on the sedan, she suddenly said: "Sister, you don't know what a stove is, do you?"
Lin Ranyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled without paying much attention: "Did your sister see it?"
Lin Xianyu is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart. She just doesn't like to scheming with others.
Lin Yuyu knew this very well.
So she knew that as Lin Xianyu became more and more involved, Lin Xianyu would definitely discover something unusual about her and Ye Yan.
However, she didn't expect it to happen so quickly, so she was stunned for a moment.
Bystanders are clear, but the authorities are confused.
When Lin Ranyu and Ye Yan deceived Lin Xianyu together, Lin Xianyu didn't notice it because Lin Xianyu was the person involved.
But when Lin Ranyu and Ye Yan deceived Ye Chen together, she was a bystander and she saw it.
Regarding the magical stove, Ye Yan's words always had something to say, but Lin Yu's words were very vague.
In addition, she knew that Ye Yan wanted to help Lin Ranyu get together with His Highness the Fourth Prince.
Therefore, she quickly guessed the truth of the matter.
This charity banquet was not what Lin Ranyu thought, but Ye Yan was grasping the direction of the whole thing.
However, Lin Xianyu didn't say much, she just said: "Then my sister has to keep this secret for His Highness, and I will pretend that I don't know.
Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them.
His Highness is now at the forefront of the storm. If the Emperor and the courtiers are allowed to know that His Highness is still so smart.
As a prince, His Highness..."
Lin Xianyu didn't say the next words, but anyone who was a little smart knew that the Daqian Dynasty had not yet established a prince.
And even Lin Ranyu, who wanted Ye Yan to improve, had to admit that Ye Yan's temperament was really not suitable for that position.
