Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 171 The Family's Plan

"One thousand taels of silver each."

"coax!"

All kinds of discussions suddenly broke out.

"One thousand taels of silver. The Yun family sells a box of ink for one thousand taels of silver. This is too cheap."

"You underestimated me! I gave you the tofu secret recipe for free!"

"I want to buy it. I'm fed up with the Yun family's boss's look of contempt."

"I want to buy one too. The ink recipe that Xiao Dongjia brought out must be good."

But some people are a little timid.

“But the Yun family…”

The people around him interrupted him and said, "What Yun family? Believe it or not, anyone with money will buy the ink recipe. The Yun family has the ability to take down everyone in the capital."

···········

When he heard that what they were selling was a recipe for ink, the owner of Zhuangyuanlou was disappointed for a moment, but he still moved a table and chairs out of the building and let Lei Shou stand on the table.

Lei Shou hooked his finger at the shopkeeper of the paper and ink shop.

The shopkeeper of the paper and ink shop walked forward with a smile: "Master Lei, what do you want?"

"Call all the book copyists in your shop and tell them that I hired them to copy secret recipes for 200 coins each."

"Why!"

The owner of the paper and ink shop waved his hand and went to call someone.

"Who buys the secret recipe now?"

"I'll buy it!"

A foreign merchant stretched out his arms in the crowd.

"Buy all three. That's three thousand taels of silver, right?"

"Yes, just give me some money and I'll find a scholar to copy it for you."

The merchant squeezed over with a smile: "No, no, I can copy it myself."

Of course, it would be safer to copy such a secret recipe yourself.

When someone takes the lead, the people behind will be even more enthusiastic.

Even the owner of Zhuangyuanlou bought three secret recipes with a smile.

When others asked him why he bought it, the shopkeeper answered with great confidence: "Everyone else has it, so how can His Highness Xun Wang not have it?"

Yun Family,

The Yun family has an ink-paste business, and except for the fact that there are not many officials in the family, they actually live a comfortable life.

Like other big families, the Yun family has a fairly large house in the capital.

Today, the head of the Yun family is entertaining guests, and the guests are none other than the Zou family, the noble family that was responsible for bringing Princess Tai'an's grandparents to the capital.

There was a villain in his family who burned living beauties into porcelain, and many people in his family were arrested.

But even though his son was captured, the head of the Zou family was not in any trouble. He could still sit here and discuss with the head of the Yun family the follow-up plan to deal with Princess Tai'an.

Picking up the teapot and pouring a cup of tea for Patriarch Zou, Patriarch Yun said calmly, "Princess Tai'an's grandparents will be able to enter the capital today."

Patriarch Zou hadn't slept all day, his eyes were bloodshot, but his face was calm and composed: "If we arrive today, we will go and beat the drum tonight. Our men will start tonight and spread the news of Princess Tai'an's disrespect for the elderly to the world."

"I want Princess Tai'an to be disgraced. No! Disgraced is not enough. I want Princess Tai'an to die without a burial place."

The last sentence still revealed the hatred in the heart of the Zou family head.

Patriarch Yun glanced at Patriarch Zou and said, "Then I will take over Tianji Pavilion as a relative of the Xu family, and the secret recipes of Tianji Pavilion will all belong to our family."

"Hahaha······"

"Hahaha······"

The two looked at each other, looked up to the sky and laughed, their voices full of determination.

A little girl who has not yet reached adulthood thinks that she can defeat the aristocratic family with the help of magical weapons, but the aristocratic family has killed more than one emperor.

Even if Emperor Xuan favored Princess Tai'an, he still needed to silence the people who were gossiping about him.

He had the ability to make Emperor Xuan go against the whole world for a woman.

After laughing, Patriarch Zou straightened his face and said, "We should not be careless. Who knows if Princess Tai'an has discovered our private actions?"

"It's a bit late tonight. Now that we have discovered the actions of Duke Zheng's Mansion, our actions may be discovered at any time."

"We will notify our people in a moment, and we will take immediate action as soon as the old couple arrives in the capital."

"no problem!"

The head of the Yun family answered without even raising his head.

At this time, a figure rushed in with panicked steps: "Master, Jingzhao Yin's son Lei Shou is selling ink paste recipes on Zhuque Street. There are three ink paste recipes, and each one is better than my Yun family's recipe!"

The head of the Yun family stood up suddenly, raised his hand and slapped the person in the face.

"What secret recipe can be better than my Yun family's!"

The housekeeper covered his face and took out three pieces of paper from his sleeve: "The secret recipe in Master Lei's hand may not be as good as that of my Yun family, but what if it is Princess Taian's?"

Princess Tai'an?

Now everyone in the capital knows that Lei Shou follows Princess Tai'an around every day. It is very likely that Lei Shou is helping Princess Tai'an sell the secret recipe.

The head of the Yun family did not care about anything else. He snatched the secret recipe from the butler's hand and started to look at it. After just a few glances, the head of the Yun family's hands began to tremble.

As a family head, he didn't know how to make ink, but he could still tell whether the ink recipe was good or not.

Each of these three ink recipes is better than the Yun family's. If this ink recipe is released, his Yun family...

The head of the Yun family grabbed the butler's sleeve and said, "Hurry up and stop him. If it doesn't work, my Yun family will buy this ink recipe. It doesn't matter whether it's 100,000 taels or 1,000,000 taels, our Yun family will pay for it."

"Don't let this secret recipe leak out!"

The housekeeper looked bitter: "It's too late for the master. At least 1000 copies of this secret recipe have been sold. The queues have filled up Suzaku Street. Anyone with a little money has gone to buy it."

The head of the Yun family staggered a few steps and sat down on the ground: "Princess Tai'an wants our Yun family to die."

The head of the Zou family who was standing on the side said: "Head of the Yun family, don't be sad about your family's property for now. I think Princess Tai'an knows about our family's actions. We must hurry..."

Before the Zou family head could finish, another figure ran in: "Family head, the people who went to pick up Ge Er didn't pick him up, and they found the bodies of Ge Er and his men separated from their bodies."

Patriarch Yun stood up from the ground and exchanged glances with Patriarch Zou. Both of them had pale and powerless eyes.

I'm afraid that Princess Tai'an has already discovered the actions of the aristocratic family, and what she is doing now is revenge.

Honest revenge.

Fortunately, Princess Tai'an's revenge was open and aboveboard. If she had secretly sold the secret recipe of the ink, it would have been enough to bring down the Yun family.

Since the method of suing Xu Jinyu for being unfilial is no longer feasible, let's carry out the next plan.

Patriarch Yun and Patriarch Zou looked at each other, and both understood what the other meant.

That night, dozens of letters were sent from various families to Dai Viet, Dai Wu, and even to surrounding small countries.

The content tells about the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in Daqian over the past six months, with a focus on the newly emerged Princess Tai'an of Daqian.

How did they come up with grain seeds that could produce thousands of tons of yield and a secret recipe that was worth thousands of dollars?

The most interesting thing is that I heard that Princess Tai'an has secret medicine for prolonging life and elixir that can bring the dead back to life.

No matter how exaggerated it is, he vowed to bring people from Dai Viet and Dai Wu into Daqian and stir up this muddy water.

So that Princess Tai'an can turn her attention elsewhere and stop fighting with their aristocratic family.

On Zhuque Street, cartloads of silver were delivered to Princess Tai'an's mansion.

The price of one thousand taels is not expensive, but there are too many people buying it.

Little by little, Xu Jinyu's wallet was full again, but he had to spend it immediately.

Xu Jinyu sighed dejectedly. Many of the secret recipes in Tianji Pavilion were just names, and Xu Jinyu had not exchanged them out at all.

The original idea was that someone would pay for the secret recipe, and then Xu Jinyu would go to the system to redeem it, aiming to get something for nothing.

It’s a pity that people from aristocratic families don’t buy it.

Xu Jinyu opened the mall catalog again.

First, exchange the recipes for salt-drying and steel-making, and use these two recipes to stabilize the emperor and make him side with you.

Then there are the deals with the dudes.

What recipe should I use?

Xu Jinyu raised his chin.

Perfume counts as one, and by the way, I also have to leave a secret recipe for my elder sister and younger sister so that they will never have to worry about food and clothing.

Brocade weaving is one, sugar making, wine brewing, yes, pocket watches and clocks, ice making, and rubber.

Although there are no rubber trees in Daqian, there is Eucommia ulmoides, and rubber can be extracted from its leaves, trunks and bark.

The amount extracted is very small, but rubber could not be used on a large scale in ancient times.

Now we have the shock absorbers and pistons. From now on, you won’t have to worry about the bumpy ride when riding in a horse-drawn carriage.

In addition to Eucommia ulmoides, there is also a thing called rubber grass, which can also be used to extract rubber. The amount is also not large, but it was enough in ancient times.

As for rubber trees, they can be bought here at Gold Finger, but it takes at least eight years for them to grow from seedlings to the point where they can be tapped, and there is no suitable place for planting them in Daqian.

We can only give up temporarily.

Xu Jinyu counted them one by one on his fingers.
