After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

But Bai Zunyue suddenly changed her personality after Ye Yuwu left the Tai Mansion. Could it be because the person who used to revolve around him suddenly stopped doing so, and he felt unbalanced? Was he trying to get her attention in every possible way?

Tsk, this kind of person is truly despicable.

The poor Crown Prince, after so many years of etiquette training, doesn't even know how to curse properly. He only managed to utter this one sentence after thinking for a long time.

Ye Yuwu didn't care what these men were thinking; all she wanted now was to make more money so she could retire early and live a peaceful life.

She wasn't good at anything else. She did think about making a big splash with the "search" system, but reality always slapped her in the face. At first, she was restricted in every way in ancient times. She wasn't as smart as the protagonists in those novels. Most importantly, she had no money!

At first, she could only make a living by writing storybooks, but unexpectedly, she earned so much money in less than half a year.

Looking at the silver notes she had sorted out, she counted them carefully. She could only scrape together a hundred taels at most.

According to market standards, a teahouse with such a good business should cost at least 250 taels of silver. If she calculates it at 300 taels, then she is still short of some silver. She has to discuss this with Manager Gao first to see if he can accept it. If he does, the remaining money will depend on whether he wants to pay the remaining amount back with interest every month or whether the remaining money will be counted as dividends.

After Ye Yuwu had organized everything, she told Manager Gao about the amount of money she had and the methods she had previously discussed with him.

Manager Gao had never intended to charge any money, but seeing that Ye Yuwu genuinely cared for him, a warm feeling washed over him.

"It's alright, consider the rest of the money as... as..." Manager Gao thought for a long time but couldn't come up with the right word.

"Investment."

"Yes, Manager Ye, what you say is always so strange and unusual; I can hardly keep up with it," Manager Gao chuckled.

"Really? I've never noticed that before." It seems I should use fewer modern words in the future to avoid arousing suspicion.

"Manager Ye, now that Chayunhe has been handed over to you, I can say I'm relieved of my burden. These are the account books that the accountant has checked over the past few days. Please check them and see if there are any problems."

Ye Yuwu took the ledger, opened the first page and looked at it carefully. Manager Gao placed the abacus next to her so that she could easily reach it.

Ye Yu was looking at the account books when Manager Gao suddenly spoke up, "Yesterday my mother had someone deliver a letter to me, I'm afraid I'll be leaving in a few days."

"So soon? Didn't we agree there would be another half month?" Ye Yuwu looked up from the ledger and looked at Manager Gao. At this moment, both of them showed reluctance.

"You should go back soon. My mother broke her leg a few days ago when she got out of bed. Fortunately, there are maids at home to take care of her." After saying this, Manager Gao, a grown man, had tears welling up in his eyes.

Ye Yuwu didn't know what to say.

"Before we leave, let's all get together at my place!"

After leaving, Ye Yuwu took the account book and went back.

Time doesn't seem to fly by, but it doesn't seem to drag on either.

The day after having a farewell banquet at Manager Gao's house, he set off on his journey.

The long procession of carriages was filled with luggage.

Ye Yuwu and the others went to see him off.

Manager Gao smiled, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed slightly, "Everyone! We will meet again someday!"

Manager Gao left with his wife and children. Ye Yuwu didn't have time to be sad. After all, she had another teahouse under her control, and this teahouse was even more difficult to manage than the bookstore. As someone who had only recently entered the field, she could only make up for her shortcomings with hard work.

So she carried the painted screen around the teahouse all day, hoping to learn about the teahouse's affairs more quickly.

On the other side, Manager Shi also knew that Tea Rhyme was now managed by Manager Ye, so he went to find Ye Yuwu again.

Ye Yuwu agreed without hesitation this time. Through her observations over the past few days, she had a clearer understanding of the sheer size of the tea garden and the large flow of people, and that the tea garden could not accommodate such a large flow of people.

She insists on not raising prices because she hopes more ordinary people can hear her stories. It's just a matter of earning less money, but sometimes more people don't necessarily mean less money.

This leads to more people on the first floor, and the increased flow of people will also cause a large number of people to leave. In the long run, hidden disadvantages will also emerge.

The tea house has only three floors, with the second and third floors being private rooms.

The second floor offers the best location, allowing guests to clearly hear the storyteller's voice from their private rooms and also enjoy a clear view of the first floor.

Therefore, the private rooms on the second floor are relatively expensive and are the first choice for most wealthy ladies and young women.

The third floor is relatively less desirable, and some wealthy young women who are afraid of having their privacy exposed will choose the third floor.

Ye Yuwu agreed to cooperate with Manager Shi because she had thought of this point. After all, there were so many people in Bianjing, and she couldn't possibly control the entire market with just one teahouse.

"It would be great if you could agree. As for how to split the profits, we can split them 50/50."

Actually, the wealthy "manager" originally wanted Manager Shi to split the profits 30/70, but fearing it would attract Ye Yuwu's attention, he opted for 50/50.

This is almost impossible for many businessmen. Although the Tianxia Teahouse now relies on Zhiyu Bookstore, it is still mainly held in the Tianxia Teahouse. It is equivalent to just borrowing a "venue" and at most splitting the profits 40/60.

Ye Yuwu hadn't expected Manager Shi to be so generous and sincere, but she didn't want to take advantage of him, since there were a few other important things to do. So she refused directly and said, "Seven-thirds, I'll take three and you take seven."

"Huh? Why are you saying less and less? This won't do!" Manager Shi panicked. If His Highness found out, he would be severely punished. He had only been in his position for a short time, and now he would lose it all.

Seeing that Manager Shi was anxious, Ye Yuwu quickly stopped him, "Please listen to me first. My offer of 30% is conditional."

Upon hearing that there were conditions, Manager Shi was no longer in a hurry.

It's great to have the conditions!

"Please speak freely, Manager Ye!"

She didn't understand why Manager Shi had suddenly become happy again; she guessed he was probably overjoyed to have obtained 70% of the prize.

"Firstly, I hope that all teahouses and tea culture will be standardized, for example, the tea served in the kitchen and the pastries and snacks sold will be consistent."

"Of course!" I'd even give you the head chef.

"I haven't even finished my first point yet!" Ye Yuwu sighed helplessly and could only continue, "Also, the prices for teahouse guests are the same."

This is also necessary. Everyone knows that the prices at Tianxia Tea House are high. If they really want to cooperate, the prices must be standardized. After all, it's not a futile cooperation.

Manager Shi had learned his lesson and didn't interrupt him, but simply nodded in agreement.

"Secondly, I've heard that almost all the storytellers work at your teahouse. I hope that your teahouse can send some of its storytellers to our teahouse to perform and teach our storytellers as well. Of course, we will pay their wages."
