Chapter 382: Don't Be a Substitute for the Twins 24
The Song family is also a prominent family, otherwise they would not have sent their daughter to the palace to be a concubine. Among the prominent families that Wen Chang has dealt with recently, the Song family is also among them.
After all, he was making a big fuss to rectify the chaos in the aristocratic families, but his own mother's family was covering up and condoning it. How could he convince people all over the world?
It's just that the Song Mang in front of him seemed to have something wrong with his brain and hadn't seen the situation clearly. Otherwise, why would he come here to cause trouble at this moment?
"Mr. Song, is there anything you like? I can give you a discount." Yun Yi asked with a smile.
"No, it's just the right amount. I can't let people say that just because my cousin is the emperor, I'm bullying others and taking advantage of the power of others." Song Mang waved his hands repeatedly, his eyes scanning the finished jade products on the shelves one by one.
"It's just that I don't think you have anything good here." Song Mang did not hide his disdain, "These vulgar things are not as beautiful as the fairy statue that my cousin gave to my aunt on her birthday."
Yun Yi didn't say anything either, just watched Song Mang get angry quietly.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Song Mang turned his head and looked at him, "Boss Yun, can you get someone to make another jade piece as exquisite and magnificent as that? Money is not a problem."
"Of course, Mr. Song, if you want anything, you can go to the box and discuss it with the master in detail."
Song Mang nodded and went upstairs to the box.
Yun Yi knew that this was just the beginning of Song Mang's trouble. After Song Mang received the jade carving from the master, he would definitely be dissatisfied and would find all kinds of excuses to make things difficult for him.
Sure enough, three days later when Song Mang came to inspect the finished product, his face, which was not handsome to begin with, suddenly became as cold as the coldest day of winter.
His face was tense and full of disgust, and if you looked closely it seemed that he was still pent up with anger.
"Boss Yun, is this the craftsmanship of your Yuyun store? It's not even as good as what a three-year-old child could carve on wood."
With a "bang", Song Mang dropped the jade artifact to the ground. The shop, which was originally bustling with people, suddenly became silent, and some people in the private rooms on the second floor also came out to check the situation.
Yun Yi crossed his arms across his chest and took a step back to avoid being splashed.
His business has been going very smoothly over the past three years, and no one has ever come to cause trouble, so there has been a lack of typical cases.
When Song Mang saw that Yun Yi stopped talking again, he suddenly felt like he had punched cotton. He picked up the jade artifact next to him and threw it down with force.
“Mr. Song, feel free to throw it. I have the prices clearly marked here and I will write them down.” Yun Yi gave a look to the accountant next to him, who immediately took a pen and wrote it down in the account book.
"Mr. Yun, are you trying to blackmail me?" Song Mang stepped forward and pointed at the sign hanging on the wall next to him. "You clearly wrote on it that if you are not satisfied, you will not take a penny. Now you ask him to keep the account. How much do you want to blackmail me?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Song. I don't want your money." Yun Yi smiled, "But I have to remember clearly what each payment is. When I hand over the share to Your Majesty at the end of the year, I have to let Your Majesty see it clearly, right?"
When these words were spoken, not only Song Mang, but everyone else in the store was shocked.
"Your Majesty?" Song Mang was stunned for a moment, "Where...where did your Majesty come from?"
"Mr. Song is your Majesty's cousin. Doesn't he know that your Majesty owns 30% of my Yuyun Store?" Yun Yi kept smiling and blinked as if he was really just asking.
"Otherwise, Master Song, how do you think I, a farmer's son, could run a shop for three years in the capital city full of nobles?"
On what?
In the first two years, he relied on the Fourth Prince, and in the next year, he relied on the Crown Prince. In the final analysis, it all depended on Wen Chang alone.
During these three years, apart from the statue of the fairy lady paying homage to his birthday, Wen Chang did not order anything else from the shop, and he did not have any open dealings with Yun Yi.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that the success of Yuyun store was due to the imperial concubine's birthday banquet.
"Is that... Eunuch Wang?"
"Eunuch Wang is here. Is it true that His Majesty is involved in this shop?"
Someone saw the eunuch walking into the shop and whispered.
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Yun." After Eunuch Wang came in, he bowed to Yun Yi and said, "His Majesty said that whatever losses Young Master Song caused can be deducted from His Majesty's year-end dividend."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yun Yi's gaze fell on Song Mang again. He was originally still hopeful, but after seeing Eunuch Wang's series of actions, his face turned paler and his body began to shake.
how come?
He had clearly investigated Yun Yi before, and found out that he was just an ordinary farmer's son.
However, by accident he bought a mountain and made his fortune by digging out jade in the mountain. When did he become related to his cousin?
"Mr. Song, His Majesty has asked this old servant to take Mr. Song back to the palace and tell Mr. Song that he does not have to attend court until he has disciplined Mr. Song."
Unlike the smile on his face when facing Yun Yi, the smile on Eunuch Wang's face immediately disappeared when facing Song Mang. He waved his hand and the two young eunuchs behind him came forward and carried Song Mang, who could no longer walk, out of Yuyun Store.
After they left, Yun Yi called the shopkeeper over to give him some instructions.
Then the shopkeeper said loudly, "We are very sorry to have frightened everyone. To calm everyone down, all customers who come to Yuyun Store today can enjoy half-price food."
Originally, Yuyun Store was well-known for its attentive service. Today, I just learned that Your Majesty has shares in this store, and I also learned that I can buy at half price. I was immediately pleasantly surprised.
None of them are short of money, and no one wants to miss out on the opportunity to get a bargain.
The shop did not close until curfew that day. The accountant roughly calculated the turnover and found that the turnover from half-price sales was even more than usual.
-
Song Mang was locked up at home, and it was said that he was beaten so badly by Lord Song that he couldn't get out of bed for two or three months.
After Song Mang's commotion, everyone knew that the current emperor had shares in Yuyun Store, and customers came in an endless stream. No matter what their purpose was, they actually brought their money.
Wen Chang did not put the money earned from this shop directly into his private treasury, but instead deposited it into the national treasury.
As a result, the shop inevitably had contact with the Ministry of Households, and gradually the shop seemed to have its own organization, and Yun Yi became a non-staff member of the Ministry of Households.
With the national treasury full, Wen Chang began to realize his ambitions.
Recruit soldiers and expand territory.
Apart from the State of Xiao, he also did not let go of other small countries around it and began to test them whenever he found an opportunity.
Of course, the game between countries has little to do with Yun Yi. What he cares most about is his own business.
After the business of Yuyun store stabilized, Yun Yi started to work on smelting gold and opening a gold shop.
As expected, after Jinyun Store opened, it was also included in the Ministry of Household Affairs’ organization.
While Yun Yi was busy with his business, he would always go to the village to live with his father and mother for a while.
After Lu Changze passed away, Yun Yi sent them back.
After all, it is most comfortable to live in the place you are most familiar with.
But on this day, an uninvited guest came to the Yun family, making the originally harmonious and warm atmosphere suddenly become cold and solemn.
