Chapter 559 Richer than Prince

"Do you think my ancestors know what Li Ma did?"

Nian Ruyi looked at her with a smile, "The ancestors were just looking at when she could care about her good deeds and let her stop by herself. Who knew that she was not greedy enough, and she was getting too far. Not only did she raise the price, but she also falsely reported the quantity. She really thought that everyone was a fool and could be fooled by her."

"Look at this account book, in the first two years, she only dared to raise the price by 30%, and the number of false reports was only one or two percent more. But in the third year, the price was one cent more than once. By the fourth year, the price was doubled... And this quantity was more than one and half a pound per day. Even if it was progressing step by step, the ancestors could not really notice the family that had been in charge for decades?"

How is that possible?

The ancestor was so smart that he probably had discovered Li Ma's corruption a long time ago, but she felt guilty about Li Ma, so she didn't say it clearly, hoping that Li Ma would confess and be lenient.

Unexpectedly, Li's mother became more and more greedy. Her ancestors were unable to wait until her hair turned white, but she could not wait until Li's mother changed her mind.

Luanfeng understood in a second, and then said with a cold face, "In the past nine years, Ma Li has swallowed at least 100,000 taels of silver. I'm afraid that the prince doesn't have so many private houses, Ma Li is actually richer than the prince."

"How many exactly are there? We will know when Yuan Jinhong calls everyone." Nian Ruyi put all the account books, found a blank paper, and a pen made of chicken feathers.

In the first half of noon, she drew several artworks of shelves and storage cabinets, some of which were large and small, some high and some were short, some with wooden doors and some with perspective glass doors.

Afterwards, she drew thirty simplest warehouse registration forms, each with a piece of white paper behind it, which was prepared to register items for out-of-warehouse. A total of sixty pieces of paper were handed over to Luanfeng and asked her to sew them together with needle and thread.

At lunch, Nian Ruyi ate with her ancestors and Yuan Lie. After dinner, Nian Ruyi continued to draw her form.

Madam Liang found a carpenter and brought the carpenter to see her. Nian Ruyi took out the artwork she drew in the morning and asked the carpenter to make shelves according to the artwork above.

"My lord, installing a glass door on the shelf. The young one has never done this before. I wonder if this glass door can be cut so big."

In ancient times, glazed glass was used to light up the roof, and some wealthy families used small glazed glass on windows, which was brighter and cleaner than using white paper.

Nian Ruyi said, "Then it's like a window inlaid, cut small pieces of glass and install them on it. I will send someone to buy glass and come back. You can put this storage cabinet at the end."

The carpenter should be busy.

Nian Ruyi asked Madam Liang to send someone to buy wood. Madam Liang said, "Last time I made a carriage, there were still a few pieces of wood left, but it was not enough. It would be better to ask Madam Liang outside the mansion to buy another ten pieces."

"Madman?"

"It's Li Ma's son. The last time the wood was bought by Manager Mao." Ma Ma explained.

Nian Ruyi's eyes flashed for a moment and she smiled, "Then I have to thank Madam Liang to send someone to travel. Ask Manager Mao, how much money is required for ten pieces of wood. When the wood comes back, let him come over and get it here."

"I know, then I will take the carpenter down first."
