In the early morning of the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Yinhe Qingyan had breakfast, put on his winter clothes and a mink cloak, and left the Old Summer Palace in a carriage.
Early this morning, Yin specially went to greet Kangxi and Concubine Tong, telling them to go to Linglong Pavilion to check.
The royal order was a bit too big, so the master had to go there and take charge.
Kangxi heard this and let the two of them go without saying a word.
After several years of observation, Kangxi discovered that Qing Yan had good business skills, and Linglong Pavilion could indeed take on the task of imperial merchants.
Although the upper echelons of the Capital Palace knew that behind Linglong Pavilion were the Fourth Master and Si Fujin, the apparent bosses were those servants.
"My dear, Emperor Ama said that if the New Year's goods can be handled well this time, he will give Linglong Pavilion the qualification of an imperial merchant to specially bring palace noodles and imported products into the palace."
Yin said while looking at Qingyan.
Tribute to the imperial merchants Qing Yan refused: "I don't want to.
If I come here once a year, I guess my life will be over soon."
Now one-third of the servants in Linglong Pavilion have put down their work and started to concentrate on preparing the royal things.
Every time I go there, the shopkeepers can mention that the minions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs always look arrogant when they come out, and they work part-time to find faults in chicken bones.
"Si Si, I'm really worried about whether Linglong Pavilion is up to the task."
Qing Yan rubbed his brows, when will this day come to an end?
"Don't you have confidence in your store?"
Yin became curious.
Qing Yan has always been very confident.
As long as it is her own store, she will do her best in everything and seize every opportunity, but this year is different.
"Of course not.
Several times I came here, the shopkeeper said that maybe the managers in charge this time had a grudge against us, and they would ask for changes three times and four times.
Before, they had clearly complied with the requirements of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but later, instead, Being overthrown and starting over again is not only a waste It takes a lot of time, and a lot of raw materials are wasted, and the cost is even higher.
"The Qing Banquet is also difficult.
"These things prepared for the palace cannot be spread to the people, so paying tribute to the palace, There is no profit to be gained at all, but losses will be incurred.”
Qing Yan didn't want Linglong Pavilion to use the imperial merchants as a shield.
As long as he could do business well, stay safe and make money.
"Loss of money means no profit at all?"
Of course Yin knew that if it was a business without any profit, who would be willing to do it?
"Yes, we already lost money last year, and this year it has tripled.
We got the list on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, and as of today, the store has exceeded the budget given by the royal family."
Qing Yan started to complain to Yin in various ways.
The title of Huangshang is good, but if she cannot do business at a loss, even a businessman will not be happy.
"Xiao Guai, are other stores like this?"
Yin thought for a moment and decided to find out the details first.
"We will arrive at Linglong Pavilion soon.
You can ask the shopkeeper in person."
Qing Yan looked at Yin and said.
The carriage stopped at the door of Linglong Pavilion and found the handle of Xiao Sula in the palace.
When Yin and Qing Yan wanted to go in, Xiao Sula directly blocked them.
"Today, Linglong Pavilion is not doing business."
Xiao Sula's tone was very arrogant.
Although Yin was very kind, he never took it to heart.
Regardless of whether they are princes or clan members, the masters rarely go out to buy things, and none of them sends a butler to order the headdress.
"If you're not doing business, Linglong Pavilion is still open now," Qing Yan retorted while looking at Little Sura.
When Xiao Sula heard Qing Yan's soft voice, her eyes changed slightly, and Yin's cold air kept coming out.
"I think the lady should be given to an official's family.

Now, the purchasing director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is discussing matters with the shopkeeper, so we will not accept business for the time being."
Little Sula said in a low voice.
"Don't think there's anything wrong with what I do.
This is the rule."
Qing Yan's face darkened.
No wonder the businessmen around him were afraid of being favored by the royal family.
"Let's go, let's go have a meal first."
Yin didn't say anything.
He glanced at Elu and asked him to send a slave to wait for the purchasing manager to go out.
He wanted to see who dared to have such a big reputation. .
After sitting down in the private room, Qing Yan looked in Yin's direction.
He drank warm tea and didn't take the matter of Linglong Pavilion to his heart at all.
"Why didn't you go in right away?"
Qing Yan was confused.
Yin placed the tea cup on the Eight Immortals table, looked at the delicate lines on the table, and opened her thin lips lightly: "This matter was definitely not done by the managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It should have been staged by the people below."
The managers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs all know that during the Chinese New Year, Kangxi pays the most attention to purchasing, and no one will violate the holy will to make money.
"The people below, but the shopkeeper said that the person discussing business with him must be a general manager."
Qing Yan shook his head in disbelief.
"I sent someone to stay.
After a while, we will know who is causing trouble.
You also know the stewards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Yin appeased Qing Yan's mood.
Linglong Pavilion delayed a whole day's business.
There were always people who wanted to go in and buy things, but they were driven away by the little Sulas.
Moreover, the faces of the little Sulas were very ugly.
"This is not okay.
It is completely delaying Linglong Pavilion's business.
If it always happens like this, who would dare to come to Linglong Pavilion to buy things?"
Qing Yan slapped the table, his face full of anger.
"I don't know the facts for the moment, so you have to sit down peacefully.
I can still make you suffer."
Yin wanted to protect Qing Yan, so of course he would stop Qing Yan from acting rashly.
He finally found a breakthrough, and he definitely wouldn't let it go.
"Si Si, you have to know that the daily loss is definitely no less than hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."
Qing Yan was furious.
During the holidays, Linglong Pavilion's business was the best.
Now, she had to hand over all the profits to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
She really couldn't swallow this breath.
The benefits provided by the royal family are too low, and the requirements of these collectors are very high, which is definitely a thankless job.
"Don't act rashly for now.
After this incident, I will beg Huang Ama to compensate."
Yin reassured Qing Yan.
Kangxi specifically told Yin to use this opportunity to investigate the movements of these people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
If any suspicious people are found, they will be cleared directly.

Of course, these people have been in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for many years.
If It is absolutely impossible to control people without some real evidence.
"Hmph, I keep saying that every time.
Hubu is very slow in disbursing money, and every time he urges me many times," Qing Yan said dissatisfied
