Chapter 791: Exchange Silver Notes
The aunt lowered her head hurriedly, "Yes, my daughter-in-law is too talkative, and I will not mention it again in the future."
Gu Fei had already sent someone out of the house to buy some ready-made clothes from the silk shop.
She also asked the servants to boil hot water in the small kitchen.
When everything was almost ready, the maids came to invite everyone to take a bath in the guest room.
Half an hour later, everyone was washed clean, their hair was combed neatly, and they changed into new clothes.
The princess received the message and had already come with Xiao Qing.
She was sitting in the hall, looking forward to it.
When the family members were packed up and came out, they cried again.
Xiao Yu had just gone to tell the princess in person, but he didn't tell her in detail, just that his grandfather's family was imprisoned and he rescued them.
The princess didn't think of asking in detail, and she didn't know when they were imprisoned.
After crying for a while, they quickly asked someone to bring the prepared food.
Gu Fei also accompanied the female family to eat together.
During the meal, Mrs. Lu smiled at Gu Fei across from her and praised the princess, "Yu'er has really married a good wife."
The princess smiled, "That's right. Since Xiao Fei came into the house, my life has become more comfortable day by day. Now even the one in the West Courtyard has been subdued and dare not make trouble."
Gu Fei thought to herself that Concubine Lin might not be subdued, but Concubine Lin knew how to adapt to the situation. She was just dormant for the time being. If she was given the opportunity, she would definitely make trouble again.
The old lady raised her eyebrows, "That's really a great thing."
No one at the table mentioned Gu Fei saving them.
After dinner, the princess had the Shen family arranged in a newly cleaned courtyard.
Gu Fei returned to her room and sent Xiao Yu back to Puchang City.
Before she could catch her breath, the steward who followed Xiao Yu's ship out to sea sent the account book over again.
Gu Fei took out the account book given by her father and checked it. The prices of various goods were not much different. The four ships that Xiao Yu bought at the beginning were loaded with goods worth almost 200,000 silver.
Now, the goods have been sold almost, and the remaining ones are placed on consignment at the port.
Gu Fei calculated that the goods worth 200,000 silver were sold for nearly 2 million silver, and the goods at the port can probably be sold for about 100,000 taels.
In this way, the manager is still honest. Even if he embezzled some, it is estimated to be around 10,000 or 20,000 silver, not too much.
I think he also knows that Gu Fei's father has accounts, and the difference is too big, which is unacceptable.
Gu Fei did not investigate it further. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. If you don't give others any benefits, who will work hard for you.
The fleet of the palace has been back for several days now. The fleet of the palace went further. Originally, there were eight ships in the fleet. After running for a few years, three of them sank in a storm, and now there are only five ships left.
However, the goods of the fleet of the palace have not been sold out yet, and I don’t know when the account book can be handed over to her.
The next day, Gu Fei disguised herself and went to several big cities in Shu and several big banks in Jiangxia City, exchanging all the millions of silver notes in her hand for gold and stacking them in the space.
Nowadays, all the banks are opened by some big businessmen, that is, private capital. Silver notes are actually a redemption certificate issued by the bank, not the banknotes issued by the court.
Once the war breaks out, the bank may be robbed. At that time, the bank may go bankrupt, and the boss may run away with his sister-in-law. Where can they exchange silver for you?
