Chapter 2204: Chapter 2201: Considering Each Other
This doesn’t even account for some expenses.
Really having sixty thousand taels is pretty good.
To reach one million taels, it’ll take saving for at least ten to twenty years to reach the goal...
Originally thought the lady’s business was already very good, but in the end, it still doesn’t have enough foundation. When truly needing silver, it’s actually not enough.
Ye Muyu just finished calculating the account, but she wasn’t disappointed. If she doesn’t do big business, these shops under her could already allow a very comfortable life in the capital.
She could still save a good dowry for her daughter.
Prepare a good betrothal gift for her son.
No problem for two generations.
After all, she is a modern person; since money isn’t enough, just find someone to invest. Besides, this business is inherently too large; lest it gets coveted and suffocated before it’s ready.
Ye Muyu said, "You go back to rest for a few days first. Soon, you’ll be busy again; this time you’re on holiday, probably won’t have any rest before the new year."
Said this, Ye Muyu felt a bit guilty; how can people work without breaks, she unknowingly became a rotten capitalist, exploiting her staff all day.
"Alright, then I’ll go back and wait for the lady’s good news." Tang Dongfeng didn’t feel tired at all, but with a vacation, he accepted it, since the lady has already said so.
Let Liuye send Tang Dongfeng out, naturally Liuye received instructions, hinted a bit to Tang Dongfeng about the recent situation in the capital.
Actually, ever since yesterday’s official newspaper came out.
Officers in the capital indeed feel somewhat uneasy.
Only very few, fair and incorruptible officials without any handles, feel relatively at ease.
The others are privately unable to stop themselves from wanting to consult friendly colleagues for opinions.
As for Minister Qi’s affair with Xiang City, it makes them dare not really meet, each only discussing briefly before the court meeting.
Afraid of being seen by the Emperor as forming cliques for personal gain.
So when the commoners of the capital are buzzing about Chu Heng’s private life, the atmosphere among the officers is indeed peculiar.
However, the commoners just don’t know about all this.
When evening comes, Chu Heng returns.
Ye Muyu, after dinner, when he’s finished freshening up and preparing to handle some official duties, brings up the topic of pinyin.
"You mean to release pinyin under my name?" Chu Heng, after listening to her explanation, points out this key aspect.
Ye Muyu nods, somewhat embarrassed: "Honestly, I’m not the inventor, so it’s not proper to attribute it to me. Although releasing it under your name, we can credit it to others. However, the credit is definitely yours. After all, I’m a woman; no matter how much credit I have, it’s better placed on you, which benefits us more."
"Of course, if you think it’s not right, we’ll emphasize predecessors. But the credit is surely aimed at you." Ye Muyu hums: "I don’t want to occupy others’ achievements, since they should be passed down through the ages. However, others are even less entitled to take advantage; let’s just consider it helping the author become famous while taking slight advantage."
Chu Heng feels touched, he can discern Ye Muyu is wholeheartedly considering him and the family.
Because she wants what’s best for him, even during deliberations, she entirely considers him first, only considering herself when it seems of no use to him.
Chu Heng can’t help but wrap his arms around her waist.
"Silly girl, you’ve said it yourself, you’re the disseminator. I’m an official, what do I need all this credit for? It’s better to have less, so there’s nothing left to reward by the Emperor. Otherwise, it could make people wary." Chu Heng already made up his mind.
