Whether she is in modern times or has traveled to ancient times, Zhao Ruxi is a very decisive and strong person. She likes to have everything in her own hands. Even if the other person is someone she trusts, she will not leave everything to her.

.

Although the more she knew, the faster she would die, she couldn't do it by asking nothing.

At least she had to be aware of it.

Her heart was already relaxed, but she asked: "Where is your second emperor brother? Can't you discuss it with him? You are making the wedding dress for him. He has no effort on his own, and you are working hard behind the scenes. What are you doing?"

"He will definitely be able to do his best, and he will be the one who takes the lead when the time comes. I don't want to sit in that seat. Like you, when the incident happens, I naturally have to ensure my own safety first."

Xiao Lingyan said seriously: "But he is different from you. I must have reservations in front of him, and it is impossible to tell him everything. But you are someone I trust wholeheartedly."

Although he knew that this guy was coaxing him, the purpose was to make him help him and make suggestions for him. But it was undeniable that after hearing this, Zhao Ruxi felt quite happy.

She said: "Okay, tell me, what do you plan to do?"

Xiao Lingyan whispered his plan to Zhao Ruxi.

Zhao Ruxi felt that the countermeasures Xiao Lingyan had formulated after being familiar with the situation and understanding the situation during this period were very appropriate. She also shared some of her own ideas, and the two of them complemented each other, perfected the strategy, and finally finalized the entire plan.

.

"Okay, that's about it. After all, some things are ever-changing and have to be adjusted according to the specific situation. It's hard to say how things will develop. We can only make a rough plan." Zhao Ruxi said.

Xiao Lingyan nodded: "You are right."

He said: "I have an appointment with you today, and there is one more thing. That is that the clock bought by Fu Yunlang has arrived in the capital."

As he spoke, he told Zhao Ruxi the details of the business, and also told him about bringing Fu Yunlang into the palace to present the bell yesterday.

At first, he only assembled four clocks in the south, sold them to Fu Yunlang through a missionary, and got back 20,000 taels of silver.

The steel used in the clock is better than that of the safe, the parts are finely made, and the wood used for the outer seat is also good wood, but the cost is higher. Including shipping costs, the cost of a clock is about 500 taels.

It cost 200 taels of silver to bribe the preacher, and the four clocks made a total of 17,800 taels.

Although this business cannot be compared with Zhao Ruxi's safe, it is quite a hassle, but it is just the beginning, and it is still in the stage of making money. Zhao Ruxi and Xiao Lingyan are quite satisfied that they can still make so much without losing money.

What's more, in Fu Yunlang's subsequent business, Xiao Lingyan still had 10% of the profit, and 10% of the auction house's income. Although the profit was not much, at least he could recover the cost of making the clock.

After calculating the money Fu Yunlang earned, Zhao Ruxi felt unhappy.

She said: "Looking for a few people, you can fetch tens of thousands of taels of silver for a clock, right? I worked hard to build the clock, and you also worked hard, but in the end, Fu Yunlang took the big deal and got the advantage. What's going on in my heart?"

So unhappy."

"When the border is in an emergency, supplies are scarce, and the lives of his father and brother are in danger, Fu Yunlang will also spit out the money in his hands. He will only keep it temporarily." Xiao Lingyan comforted him.

Zhao Ruxi thought about it and gave up.

She should have earned the money. Donating materials from her and donating materials from Fu Yunlang would naturally result in different benefits.

It would be fine if she liked Fu Yunlang. But since time travel, because of the incident with Jie Baozhai, Fu Yunlang has often used his wealth and power to pressure her, trying to get her to sacrifice her life for him. Naturally, she has a bad impression of Fu Yunlang.

The benefit fell on him, and she felt uncomfortable.

But when she created the clock, her original intention was to change the political situation and save the fate of these cannon fodders. As long as she can achieve her goal, she will suffer some losses.

Furthermore, it is not easy for Fu Yunlang to stand up to the thunder and attract artillery fire. It is not easy to deal with many open and hidden arrows, so it is reasonable to get some benefits. But if she chooses to hide behind, she can only make some technical money.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruxi's anger calmed down.

"It's okay. When Fu Yunlang goes to the south again, I will ask the missionary to raise the price. As long as this auction has a sweet taste, it is seven or eight thousand taels of silver for a clock. I think Fu Yunlang will buy it too," Xiao Lingyan said.

"When this kind of clumsy clock can't be sold anymore, let's make some other clocks, smaller and more delicate, such as cuckoo clocks, and then cut a bunch of leeks."

Zhao Ruxi nodded and reminded him: "Jiangnan is a big market, don't forget to transport it there. Your auction house can also drive there, but it has to be done quickly and you have to take the lead. As long as you show your identity.

, no one will dare to copy you, and your auction house will also be an exclusive business."

Xiao Lingyan tapped the table: "You reminded me, you really have to do this. The auction house is a profit-free business, and there is no cost. As long as you have a stable identity, it is very easy to imitate. If others learn from it,

I have taken the lead in various provinces, and I won’t be able to say anything at that time. After all, strong dragons cannot overwhelm local snakes. Before the concept of auction houses has spread, I have to quickly send people to open auction houses in various provinces.”

"By the way, your paintings will also be auctioned by then." He told him what he had said about going to Kang's house to discuss with Kang Shilin.

"I know." Zhao Ruxi said, "My master is so impatient, how could he wait for you to tell me? Last night he sent someone to Suiping's house, told him the situation, and even gave away my painting.

Already."

Xiao Lingyan laughed: "That's good, it saves you having to find a way to deliver it to me."

The two of them had a lot to discuss. After saying this, Xiao Lingyan thought of jade and asked, "Have those rough stones been cut out? How is the jade that came out?"

In his previous life, he loved to read novels about gambling on stones. Out of curiosity, he went to the southern border with a friend who was buying jade raw materials. He saw several very famous mines and gambled on stones a few times.

Although Da Jin was in an imaginary era, its geographical location was exactly the same as the topography of the country where they lived in modern times. This gave him great convenience.

Before he sent someone to buy the mine, he specially drew a topographic map and asked his subordinates to find it according to the topographic map. If someone is mining, just buy the mine directly; if no one is mining, find out that there is really a mine underground.

, buy the place and ask the locals to mine it.
