A few days ago, Xie Yu came to visit with Bai Xiaonan to talk to Yu Hua about the pig iron business, but Yu Hua was very neglectful.
Now Xie Yu suddenly changed and became Miss Yu's lifesaver. Yu Hua naturally felt embarrassed.
However, for some words, it is enough to get the meaning right, and there is no need to say it too clearly. Otherwise, everyone will look bad.
After being polite to each other, Xie Yu said: "Uncle, now Miss Yu has returned safely, but she has been wronged after all. The people in Yunding Village are really hateful. I wonder what uncle has planned next? Are you ready to give Yunding Village some color? ?”
"If uncle has this idea, I can help him."
As soon as Xie Yu finished speaking, Yu Hua fell silent.
After a long time, he sighed, then shook his head and said: "It's good that Wenjun can come back safely. As for revenge... let's forget it. My nephew doesn't know the background of Yunding Village!"
When Xie Yu heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is there any other scary background in Yunding Village?"
Yu Hua nodded: "Did you know that after the little girl was kidnapped yesterday, a servant in the family found a note in the yard! What was written on it?"
"Then the higher-ups ask me to give up the salt and salt business in the Hedong area!"
"Oh?" Xie Yu frowned, "Is this... a condition for Miss Yu's release?"
"It should be. Otherwise, how could things be such a coincidence? Speaking of the salt and saltpeter business in Hedong, I only started to take over it in the past two years. The salt and saltpeter business was not easy to do in the first two years, and all aspects needed to be managed. So I have always been Losing money."
"But this year, the salt and saltpeter business finally picked up. But three months ago, someone from Hedong came to talk to me and asked me to sell the salt and saltpeter business. I didn't agree at the time..."
"But yesterday, something like this happened!"
"So, the person behind Miss Yu's kidnapping is the person who wants my uncle's salt and salt business? Who is that person? How dare he be so bold?"
Yu Hua hesitated for a while, then shook his head and said, "Wei Qin!"
Seeing Xie Yu's confused expression, Yu Hua said: "Maybe you are not familiar with this person. But there is someone you should have heard of. Wei Jixiang! A subordinate of the eunuch Wang Zhen, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony!"
"This Wei Qin is Wei Jixiang's godson!"
Xie Yu suddenly realized.
He was not familiar with Wei Qin and Wei Jixiang. But the original person still had an impression of Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen can be said to be the most powerful eunuch in the Yong Dynasty today!
According to legend, this guy was also a scholar in the past. When he was at his best, he even won a prize! However, after several years of seeking an official position, the vacancy could not be filled. Running back and forth to take care of things, the family fortune was ruined.
When I was at my poorest, I couldn't even eat. In the end, he had no choice but to cut off the roots of his descendants and become a eunuch in the palace.
He can be regarded as the most highly educated among the eunuchs of the same period and even previous generations!
As the saying goes, knowledge changes destiny. The emperor soon noticed Wang Zhen's good temperament. After some contact, Wang Zhen was appreciated by Emperor Yong'an, who then asked him to study with the prince!
Later, in the tenth year of Yong'an, the emperor died! The prince... who is now the current Emperor Yongzhao, Zhou Qi, succeeded to the throne, and Wang Zhen was immediately promoted to the eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies!
Since then, Wang Zhen has embarked on the fast track of life... Now, his authority can be said to be the first person in the Great Yong Dynasty besides the emperor!
Many people privately call this guy the "Second Emperor"!
Xie Yu also didn't expect that the winding Yunding Village would have such a big background.
Could it be that I had accidentally offended a big shot that I shouldn't have offended?
Seeing that Xie Yu was silent, Yu Hua thought that Xie Yu was also afraid.
He comforted him: "Nephew, don't worry too much. Since I know what the other party wants, I will give up the salt and saltpeter business. I think they won't make trouble over this matter again. Otherwise, it will really push me into trouble." Already..."
"My Yu family is not without people in the court who I can talk to!"
Yu Hua is talking about his biggest supporter Yu Qian.
Xie Yu was not that scared, he was just thinking about Yu Hua's salt and salt business.
Salt and nitrate are a good thing! This thing has more uses than iron! After processing, salt, fertilizers and even explosives can be extracted!
No matter which one they are, they are all indispensable resources for the future development of the village!
If it weren't for his lack of strength now, Xie Yu would have really wanted to take over Yu Hua's salt and saltpeter business.
"By the way, nephew, didn't you come to me to talk about the pig iron business a few days ago?" Yu Hua took the initiative to bring up the matter, "It's not that my uncle is heartless, it's true that the pig iron quota has been allocated."
"But my nephew has done me such a big favor, so I don't want my nephew to go to waste. If my nephew doesn't want much pig iron, then my uncle has the final say and can give my nephew some for free!"
Xie Yu smiled.
Yu Hua, this old guy, is really shrewd.
He wanted to use a one-shot deal to secure his favor for saving people.
Free gift, right? Okay! It depends on whether you are willing to let it go.
So Xie Yu said: "My uncle is willing to give it, that would be great. There is a huge gap in pig iron in Baishi Village now, and my uncle is generous, so let's give him... one hundred thousand catties first!"
"One hundred thousand catties..."
Yu Hua's eyelids twitched a few times.
Xie Yu nodded: "Every month!"
Yu Hua finally lost his composure.
The price of pig iron in the Yong Dynasty is much higher than the price of rice! This pound of pig iron costs twenty cents!
One hundred thousand kilograms of pig iron is equivalent to two thousand taels of silver!
Logically speaking, thanking Yu for saving Yu Hua's daughter and thanking him for two thousand taels of silver was not a big deal for a wealthy man like Hua.
But listen to what Xie Yu just said?
One hundred thousand kilograms of pig iron every month!
The people living in your Baishi Village are not human beings, they are all iron-eating beasts!
If it weren't for the fact that Xie Yu saved his daughter, Yu Hua would have wanted to cover his face with the tea bowl in his hand.
Forcing a smile, Yu Hua said: "I didn't expect my nephew to be so iron-deficient! One hundred thousand pounds a month, he is really a big customer. In this case, we can talk about it!"
Xie Yu suddenly smiled.
"But... I'm not afraid of my nephew's jokes. I'm doing business in Yingzhou, and all aspects of my relationships need to be taken care of. Especially Master Cao, the governor of the state, is a hurdle that I can't get over."
"Just because he is here, he accounts for 10% of the shares! If my nephew wants to get a piece of the pie, he still needs Master Cao's nod!"
Xie Yu frowned: Do you still need to contact Cao Jian about this matter?
Of course he knew the grudge between Bai Xiaonan and Cao Jian.
If we expect Cao Jian to agree to sell pig iron to Baishi Village, we might as well expect Yu Hua to be merciful and give some charity every month!
"I'm not very familiar with Mr. Cao. I wonder if my uncle can help make things right?"
Yu Hua shook his head: "There is no need for my nephew to contact Mr. Cao. When Mr. Cao came to see me yesterday, he told me something!"
"If my nephew can help solve this matter, then I can guarantee that regarding the pig iron, even if Cao Jian doesn't say anything, I can make the decision for my nephew!"
Xie Yu quickly asked: "What's the matter?"
