Happiness System
Chapter 792: Fake Gold 18Sheng Yunyou didn't know that the Zhao family had such an evaluation of her.
Five days after Bo Jingyao and Liu Binglun left, Yang Yongfeng brought a person and two letters back to her, along with 30,000 taels of silver.
Sheng Yunyou first read Bo Jingyao's letter, which said that Zhao's seventh uncle was a businessman and had a big breakfast business in Dongzhou Prefecture. Five years ago, due to some issues, he closed the business there and returned to Qingzhou Prefecture to fulfill his filial duty to his grandfather.
Because of his great grandfather's suppression and last words, his seventh uncle only did small business in Qingzhou Prefecture and did not expand his business again. Most of the people under his command were disbanded.
The person Yang Yongfeng brought with him was called Cen Feiyue, the son of his seventh uncle's former chief steward. He had never been given an important position since he came to Qingzhou Prefecture five years ago.
My seventh uncle got married late and had children even later. The eldest of his three children was only sixteen years old. None of the three children had any talent for business. Instead, they were more interested in studying.
He has accumulated enough wealth, and the current situation is not good, so he does not plan to continue struggling.
When Bo Jingyao and the others arrived, Seventh Uncle was dismissing the managers under his command. When he heard that he needed more people, he pushed Cen Feiyue out without hesitation.
He and Liu Binglun investigated him and thought he was a good person, so they asked Sheng Yunyou to see if he could be used.
Liu Binglun's letter was similar, saying that he would definitely pass the examination to become a scholar in the spring of next year, and would also have to pass the imperial examination the year after. He had a heavy workload, so he would probably have to focus on studying in the next two years and would certainly not have time to take care of business matters himself.
They said that Sheng Yunyou was free now and if he had any ideas he could go and realize them, and they could easily take over all of Seventh Uncle's staff.
Although he can't help much with her business at the moment, he can support her financially.
The thirty thousand taels of silver note were given to him by his mother when he went to Qingzhou Prefecture. It could be said that it was all the savings of the mother and son over the years.
Madam Liu was worried that the concubine and her son would become desperate, so she let Liu Binglun take away the cash and inconspicuous valuables first. After a month or two, she would go to the provincial capital to accompany her son to study, saying that she missed her son.
As for Anping City, Sheng Yunyou doesn't have to worry at all. The prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture is a disciple of Old Master Zhao, and the co-prefect of Anping City is a fellow student of the prefect.
Liu Binglun and his mother had secretly captured the Tongzhi of Anping City. The Tongzhi and Lord Liu were evenly matched in power in Anping City. If the concubine and her son wanted to reach out to the government office, they had to see whether the Tongzhi agreed or not!
Therefore, it is not very important whether the mother and son of the Liu family are in Anping City or not.
The most important thing is that these businesses will be registered under the names of Yang Yongfeng and Cen Feiyue respectively. If anyone wants to cause trouble, they really won’t be able to find Sheng Yunyou.
The person and the money were in front of her, and Sheng Yunyou decided to do it without much thought!
Who would complain about having too little money!
After chatting for a while, Sheng Yunyou learned that Cen Feiyue's father only occasionally went to work for his seventh uncle and was free most of the time, so he planned to open Hongbinlou to the provincial capital first.
After talking about his plan, Sheng Yunyou paused for a while before continuing, "There's no rush for this. Manager Yang, take Manager Cen to Hongbin Building first and let him get used to it. From now on, you will still focus on Tianhu Mountain. You two should discuss the matter of the new restaurant.
As for the rest, we will slowly plan it after the new restaurant opens."
They still have too little money. They can’t get rich overnight. Just take it slow!
Yang Yongfeng agreed directly and took the money back. Cen Feiyue was speechless, "Miss, 30,000 taels cannot open a decent restaurant in the capital city!"
Although they have connections in the capital city, the little devil is difficult to deal with and needs to be taken care of, which costs a lot!
Moreover, as far as he knew, Tianhu Mountain would not be able to make a profit in the short term, and he would have to keep pouring money into it!
Just relying on the Hongbinlou restaurant to pave the way, it is estimated that the speed of making money is far less than the speed of spending money.
Sheng Yunyou glanced at Cen Feiyue and said with a smile: "I didn't say I would only give you 30,000 yuan. There will be money."
Sheng Yunyou left Yang Yongfeng behind and gave him a few prescriptions, and took out an unsolved gambling stone, "I didn't think about expanding my business in a hurry, and I don't have the capital to expand it rapidly.
Take this stone and try to see if you can get some silver in exchange. Also, think about these recipes."
In addition to a few recipes, she also gave the textile dyeing craft formula and the glass formula.
The fabric and food industry in Anping City is not very prosperous recently, so they can acquire a medium-sized workshop...
But the payment is a bit slow.
As for the formula of colored glaze, I don’t know whether it can be made with current technology, and what materials are needed.
Yang Yongfeng looked at the prescriptions and said with a wry smile, "Master, are you testing me?"
The money for opening the new restaurant hasn't been solved yet, and now he's throwing him a recipe for wasting money?
"You only regret not having enough money when you need it! Your master used to just want to have some extra money so that no one could take advantage of him. But now that he has seen the world in the imperial capital, his ambitions have grown!"
She sighed, "If that doesn't work, go to the city and find your seventh uncle and see if you can convince him to lend you money or invest in the company?"
Then he gave an encouraging look and said, "I am your master. It's hard for me to come to your house even if I'm in mourning. I'm relying on you!"
Yang Yongfeng's expression was almost unbearable, "Master, I'm worried that my seventh uncle will sweep me out with a broom!"
This is still good. I have never met you before, but I just said I am your granddaughter's niece and I want to borrow a few hundred thousand from you...
Well, this is torture!
"Let's do it step by step. If it doesn't work, you can hand over the Tianhu Mountain business to the new guy, and you can go to the new market. You don't have to open the restaurant yet. We can take it slow and make a fortune without being noticed!"
It was a bit brain-intensive today and Sheng Yunyou couldn't take it anymore, so he looked tired and sent Yang Yongfeng away.
Yang Yongfeng was so unlucky that he had no intention of going back to work. He simply took the stone and went to find someone to cut it.
Sheng Yunyou didn't realize how much trouble she had given to others. After sending everyone away, she started to lie down and do nothing again.
The daily routine to maintain health is to copy scriptures in the morning. After all, it is a mourning period, so every one or two months, a few scriptures have to be sent to the temple for offering, which is regarded as praying for the old lady.
She couldn't do such hobbies as playing the piano and dancing for the time being. Sheng Yunyou was bored in the afternoon and could only do some embroidery or read a book.
Even so, the days passed quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of December, and Bo Jingyao had not arrived yet, only a letter.
The letter was sent by a confidant of the Bo family, who bluntly said that the imperial capital was extremely cold today. Fortunately, she reminded him and contributed the charcoal recipe, so the Bo family made a lot of money.
At the same time, the situation at the border is not optimistic. Bo Jingyao has to do a lot of preparation, so he has to break the appointment.
In his mind was also the dividends given by the Bo family, which amounted to as much as 20,000 taels!
I didn’t expect that charcoal is such a highly profitable industry. No wonder the country wants to regulate it.
"Miss Sheng, I am here on business in Qingzhou Prefecture to deliver a letter for the young master. The prefecture has prepared some things for you, which are put on hold along with the New Year gifts from the prefecture. They should arrive in two days.
There is an urgent matter over there, so I cannot stay here for too long. If you have something important to reply to, I can wait for you for another quarter of an hour."
He had to leave the city and rush to the provincial capital overnight before the city gates closed!
Sheng Yunyou frowned: "So urgent? Is it a confidential matter?"
The man shook his head and said, "It's not that I can't tell Miss Sheng, it's because of the Qingzhou City colored glaze. They came here to promote colored glaze before, and our family bought some and ordered another batch, so everything was sold out in advance.
It was the end of the year and customers were urging them to deliver the goods, but the chief manager asked someone to look up the contract and found out that the manager of the shop had made a mistake in the delivery time.
If the goods cannot be delivered before the end of the year, the government will not only not make any money but also have to pay a sum of money and offend all the old customers.
That’s why I sent a servant to see if I can pick up the goods in advance. If not, I’ll probably have to ask my uncle and his family for help.”
Sheng Yunyou shook his head. "The orders for the Liulifang are all scheduled until the end of next year. There's nothing you can do if you rush over there. You'd better stay here for one night."
The young steward was disappointed. He was thinking that Anping was close to the provincial capital, and maybe Miss Sheng could find a way so he wouldn't have to ask her uncle for help!
This was also what the steward told him before he left. After all, even if they were relatives, their connections would become less and less each time they were used. But Miss Sheng was different, she was the future mistress of the Bo family!
Before the steward could speak, Sheng Yunyou called Qingdai in, "Take Steward Zeng to Hongbin Tower to find Steward Cen, and have someone arrange it, saying that the Bo family from the imperial capital came here for Liuli's matter."
After she finished her instructions, she turned to the steward and said, "It's inconvenient to keep you here since there's no male master in the mansion. You and Qingdai can go to Hongbin Tower, and the steward there will take care of you.
I will write the letter tonight, and you don't have to come to pick it up tomorrow, I will have someone deliver it to you."
The steward didn't expect such a sudden turn of events, and immediately bowed respectfully to her, "I know, then I won't disturb Miss Sheng's rest any longer."
After the people left, Zi Luo looked outside the house and asked in confusion: "Miss, how did the Bo family know that we are related to Liulifang?" Could it be that the Zhao family told them?
Sheng Yunyou shook his head, "They don't know, they just want to test whether I can find a way to help solve the problem.
Have you sent the New Year gifts to the capital? If not, let Qingdai go there in person."
In the past six months, except for herself, no one around her has had any free time, and Sheng Yunyou has never thought of trapping Qingdai and Ziluo in the backyard.
Zi Luo sighed, "The city is close, everything is ready, and it will be delivered tomorrow!
I heard that the roads in the imperial capital are difficult to travel, so I don’t know if Manager Zeng can get back before the New Year after picking up the goods.”
"If he can come here, there will always be a way to bring the goods back. We don't worry about that. But what about you? Have you found the right person?"
Sheng Yunyou plans to launch some dietary therapy packages in Hongbinlou, and also plans to build a women's club, which will include beauty and body care and conditioning services, which will require a lot of people.
