Rong Fei and Murong Canghai were busy making gunpowder, and there were many people in Kyoto who were not idle during this day.
Ji Rou'er and Rong Lan hid in the room muttering about what they were studying;
Bai Zizai wandered around the capital looking for traces of Rong Fei and Murong Canghai;
Liu Yingrong wanted to go to the palace to ask Zhu Leyao for credit and say goodbye, but her father Liu Chuanfang ordered her to stay in the palace to sort out the belongings she needed to bring before leaving Beijing in the morning;
Three great scholars, Huang Liangyi, Fang Datong and Gao Bin, are busy searching for young talents in the hope that Zhu Yueyao can fall in love with someone else; Queen Tang Youer and Concubine Xian are responsible for the final review of candidates;
Emperor Zhu Sheng was confirming with Chang Gaoyuan many matters and follow-up arrangements for the army's suppression of bandits in the south;
Nine senior officials, including Fan Li, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, who planned and instigated the hunt for Rong Fei in the worship hall, were invited to tea by Dongchang Fanzi;
Liu Xi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Lu Shi, a member of the Qing Dynasty Department of Ceremonies and Ceremonies, were two little-known little-known figures who got special titles and had a bright future;
Zhu Yueyao, who is still unaware of this, is still immersed in her imagination about the beautiful future;
The chief arrester of the Jixian Division, who had just come out of custody last night, was doing Tai Chi in the small courtyard of Xuanwu Hutong;
…
When night fell, Rong Fei returned to the Xuanwu Hutong courtyard covered in dust and smoke.
"I need some money."
As soon as they met, Ji Rouer stretched out her white and tender hands in front of Rong Fei.
Rong Fei patted his head when he heard this, showing an expression of sudden realization.
He was leaving Beijing tomorrow morning, but he had forgotten about living expenses.
Rice is expensive in Kyoto, and now that we have the conditions, we can no longer let Ji Rouer be as frugal as she was in Fencheng.
So Rong Fei took out all the treasure notes and copper coins from the storage jade ring and handed them to Ji Rouer's hands.
This trip to Linzhou was invited by Murong Canghai and Bai Zizai, so the expenses along the way should be borne by them and not by myself.
Rong Fei thought so in his heart, but just in case, he still left fifty taels of treasure notes and some copper coins for personal use.
Ji Rouer carefully counted the money in her hand, there were more than nine thousand taels in total.
First he kicked the money into his arms, then stretched out his hand.
"Not enough! Far from enough!"
"What! No... Sister Rou... Madam... you... why do you want so much money? Do you want to buy the palace?"
Rong Fei was shocked when he heard this.
These more than 9,000 taels of treasure money were stolen from Bai Zi a few days ago. They are already Rong Fei's entire net worth. Although it was not considered a huge sum of money in a luxurious and luxurious gold-selling cave like this in Kyoto City, it was enough to keep Ji Rouer well-fed and entertained for several years.
By the way, there is also a little fairy Rong Lan who eats and drinks.
Even if there is an extra mouth to eat, more than nine thousand taels should be enough for the two of them for two years.
Moreover, Ji Rou'er is the nephew-in-law of Concubine Xian. Although she is still angry with herself, she will never let her nephew-in-law starve.
Rong Fei immediately guessed that Ji Rouer was going to make some big move.
"I want to open a medical clinic."
Ji Rouer's answer was exactly as Rong Fei expected.
When she first arrived in Kyoto, Ji Rou'er had proposed this idea, but Rong Fei rejected it because Kyoto was not a long-term residence.
Now the plan has changed slightly. Although Rong Fei left Beijing, Ji Rouer wanted to stay and continue living.
Opening a medical clinic is also a good choice, so that Ji Rouer can make a living without being too lonely and bored.
Of course, with Ji Rouer's temperament, if she opens a medical clinic and makes money, she won't have to think about it. As long as she doesn't pay too much, she will already be in high demand.
Rent in Kyoto is high, and this alone is a big expense.
In addition, Ji Rou'er often organizes free clinics and gives away free medicines. It seems that more than 9,000 taels... it seems... really won't last long.
Rong Fei held his teeth and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.
"Our family still has dividends from Zuixianju. If you don't have enough money, go to Zuixianju to get it. If you dare to say anything, Gu Fengxiao and the others will destroy the store."
Rong Fei told Ji Rouer.
Well, it’s really shameless to kill the owner of Zuixianju and then worry about the dividends!
Ji Rouer's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this.
"How much can we divide?"
"This... I guess... maybe... there should be about one to twenty thousand taels, right?"
Rong Fei rubbed his chin and replied with some uncertainty.
"Ah! That's all."
The light in Ji Rouer's eyes dimmed instantly, and she pursed her lips and muttered unhappily.
"What is talent! Sister Rou, I have noticed that you have been very arrogant recently. Isn't twenty or thirty thousand taels enough for you to open a medical clinic? Is it possible that you don't need to pay for diagnosis and medicine? Even if your family has gold and silver, it's not enough. Yes. Let me tell you, you are disrupting the normal order of the pharmaceutical market."
"What are you yelling about? Who said no more money? Who disrupted order?"
"Then why do you want so much money?"
"When you open a medical clinic, you always need to hire more help."
"Although the labor fee in Kyoto City is higher than that in Fen City, it can only be doubled or tripled at most, so we won't be able to use this much money."
"I hire more people."
"How many? It scares me to death to say it."
"Two hundred and fifty-nine people."
Ji Rouer rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands, lowered her head and muttered in a low voice.
"How much? I didn't hear clearly, please say it again."
Rong Fei's heart trembled and he was almost scared to death. He took out his ears, put his ears to Ji Rouer's mouth and asked in disbelief.
"Two hundred and fifty-nine people."
Ji Rouer took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to speak loudly.
Rong Fei drew back his head and stared at Ji Rou'er in disbelief. Just when he was about to ask Sister Rou, are you planning to hire help or are you planning to rebel? Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
Two hundred and fifty-nine people!
Why does this number look familiar?
After thinking for a moment, Rong Fei figured out the reason and asked softly.
"But those people who were rescued from the Paradise Garden and several other dens of obscenity?"
"Um!"
Ji Rouer nodded. 33
"Those people were all abducted from outside and came to Kyoto. After experiencing that...that kind of thing, they would be gossiped and scorned when they returned to their hometown.
And they knew nothing and could not live in Kyoto, so many of them even attempted suicide. So I thought..."
"So you just want to open a very large medical clinic, hire them, and give them a meal and a bed to sleep on, right?"
"Not just hiring, I'm also going to teach them medical skills and equip them with special skills, so that even if... I mean, if the medical clinic cannot continue to operate, they can still make a living and not starve to death."
"Sister Rou!"
"Um?"
"you are awesome!"
"ah!"
Ji Rouer looked up at Rong Fei, wondering whether he was sincerely praising him or making sarcastic remarks.
"Walk."
Rong Fei suddenly took Ji Rouer's hand and walked outside.
"Where to go?"
"Collect the bill."
"Where to collect the bill?"
"Of course it's Zuixianju, hahaha."
In the yard next door, Yu Qingzhi silently stuffed a wad of treasure money back into his sleeves as he listened to the two people's footsteps receding.
He probably won't be able to use his little money for the time being.
Some people died, but not completely...
