When Yun Xi heard his father-in-law He Guanzhang's letter from the capital, he immediately stopped laughing. He opened the envelope, and read it carefully several times, then raised his head, with a hint of laughter and crying on his face.

"What's wrong, Miss?" Yu Ping asked.

Yun Xi couldn't help laughing: "Dad said in the letter that he sent a lot of things to Uncle Qi, which would make him feel at ease to take the exam."

The sisters of the Yu family were a little strange. They held hands, opened their beautiful eyes wide, and asked in confusion: "What did you give me?" The lady's expression was so strange. Even if the strange treasures were sent, it shouldn't be like this expression?

"Haha." Yun Xi finally laughed out loud, "I sent two boxes of matches and said that one of them was sent to Jinan Qiye."

"Ah?" The sisters of the Yu family were shocked and opened their mouths cutely.

Yun Xi laughed louder and louder: "Dad also said that this match is the latest thing in the capital. It is only available in the palace and in the official families. It is a rare thing among the people. Each box costs 150 taels, and it is simply a priceless one. He has received these two boxes with great favors!"

The Yu sisters were extremely shocked, and then they laughed out loud. This was really funny. In this city of Laizhou, matches were not unusual at all, especially in the He Mansion where Yun Xi was, the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, which would honor twenty boxes of filial piety every month, and they didn't even want silver. However, no one expected that matches would become a rare item in Beijing? And they were sold for 150 taels. He Guanzhang had worked hard to get two boxes and sent them back to Laizhou City thousands of miles away?

After the laughter stopped, Yun Xi looked solemn: "Come here! Come and find Uncle Lai."

After a while, Butler Lai came outside the curtain. Before he could salute, Yun Xi asked, "Uncle Lai, ask you something, do you know the match?"

"I heard something a little." Butler Lai was a little surprised. Why did Grandma San suddenly become interested in matches today? "This thing appeared not long ago. I heard that it was made by Bai Er in Xiaohongling before the New Year."

"Is that Bai Er again?" Yun Xi snorted. Her impression of Qin Bai has always been very poor, "Then how much can he do every month?"

"Everyone says there are only more than a thousand boxes. But there are quite a few people who come to buy them. I heard that they are all sold to merchants from all over the north and south on the canal, so they don't have to worry about selling them at all."

"Oh? Have you sold all to Linqing?"

"That's not. Bai Er still knows the rules. He only sells it in Jingjiazhuang, and some of the merchants who come to buy it have also found us Zhenwei. In addition, the sales of Fenglong Money Store has increased significantly in the past few months. In fact, our He Mansion should make more money inside and outside. He sold five taels in Jingjiazhuang. After removing the capital, each box was only one or two taels. After opening the mountain gate, there were a lot of people. He should be able to make more than three or five hundred taels per month!"

Maybe Qin Bai is disguised better, maybe it is dark under the light, not that no one has doubted Qin Bai, but these people have miscalculated the cost and the output, so it is generally believed that Match is a business of 1,800 taels per month. Although such a business is big enough, basically no one is moved. There are a group of mine owners in Jingjiazhuang, and it is said that everyone is almost the same. Moreover, Qin Bai did not eat alone, and Jingjiazhuang basically has some benefits.

Yun Xi thought for a while, then nodded: "Uncle Lai, thank you for your hard work."

Butler Lai bowed tactfully: "Three grandma, that little one is leaving."

When Butler Lai left and saw Yun Xi thinking, Yu Ping, who was beside him, suggested: "Miss, can you sell 150 taels in the capital? Let's talk, Bai Er dare not ignore him. We should do this business, and at most reward Bai Er for some benefits. He's the lawsuit, and the He Mansion can agree to help."

"I helped that girl Ding, who is as beautiful as a flower, you will be gone!" Yun Xi joked. She then told, "Don't worry about this. Now there are only more than 1,000 boxes per month? Well! Let me tell Mr. Feng and let Bai Er leave us five hundred boxes per month! We don't take advantage of him, so we buy them at the market price. Except for those used in the mansion, all of these five hundred boxes will be sent to my father in Beijing. My father must know how to use them. Whether it is delivered or sold, it is up to my father to decide!"

"Ah?" The sisters of the Yu family exclaimed in unison. Will their lady give up if she says she gives up?

Yun Xi's beautiful eyes rolled and cursed: "You guys! They are two greedy little girls!"

The sisters of the Yu family spread their tongues and shook their heads and disagreed. Yun Xi smiled and explained: "Tell me, is our He family short of money? What we lack most is the connections of my father in the officialdom. He just became the Minister of War, but the court situation was turbulent. Zhang Xiangye left the court, and now the chief assistant is the chief assistant. But when Zhang Xiangye finished, he might become the chief assistant again. Once the emperor and the minister, will Shen Xiangye leave willingly? Therefore, my father said in his letter that these two factions fought fiercely in private. But his father's foundation is not solid, and he is most afraid of being affected by the fish."

What Yun Xi said was the change in the court situation at this time. Zhang Siwei, the chief assistant after Zhang Juzheng, had just liquidated the political forces left by Zhang Juzheng, and before he could achieve his grand plans, he was in trouble. The person who was temporarily serving as the chief assistant is Shen Shixing. Zhang Siwei must want to return to the position of chief assistant after Ding You ended, and he already had new forces to rely on him. Shen Shixing was definitely unwilling to be a puppet. He also needed his own people to govern. Therefore, he became undercurrents and faced another major reshuffle.

Since it is a major reshuffle, it will definitely grab the position. He Guanzhang's foundation is relatively shallow, so he can easily become a victim of compromise. In this case, money has become unimportant, and the key is to fight for connections. Therefore, the role of matches is highlighted. There is no question of money exchange, it is nothing more than giving away some "local specialties from my hometown". However, in terms of actual value, it is quite valuable in the capital. It is easy to cash out.

Yun Xi continued: "Scarcity is precious. In a short period of time, maybe this match is still at a high price. But over time, everyone knows that it comes from our Laizhou, and that price will definitely fall back. Also, don't make the wrong order. The foundation of He Mansion is iron ore. We must first dominate the Jingjiazhuang family. If we take over the Baier industry now, will the people below work hard? Is it just for this, 1,800 taels per month?"

Yu Ping thought about Yun Xi's words and agreed. Yu Ting said happily: "Miss, you are so awesome!"

Yun Xi smiled and said, "The performance failed! You can tell at a glance that you are flattering."

Yu Ping laughed and said, "Miss, you can see it!"

In the laughter, Yun Xi said, "But Bai Er's fierce horse should be put on a bridle now. If you don't joke, you should take him into the mansion. You sisters will discuss who is going to marry him?"

"ah?"
