Chapter XIV Acceptance of Appointments
Chen Wenhui knew it when she saw Qiu Bi's face, and said, "You tell the three of them all these words." It's the same for me to be an errand boy, whether it's an official, or a big girl for me, or a steward, they all serve me, and they haven't changed. Ordinary big girls, loyal, all serve the girl well. After the girl got married, she married into her husband's house, helped the girl gain a firm foothold in her husband's family, and then married and became a housekeeper mother. However, can I be like a normal girl? Ordinary girls, after the daughters of the family get married, they need to consolidate their position in the in-law's family, ask their own wet nurses, grandmothers, and maids to help manage the housework, and also accompany the maids to marry the stewards of the husband's family, so as to better serve the girls. But do I need it? It's not like I can only have a huge dowry after I get married, and let the dowry maid take care of it. I now have a huge career and a huge property, which girl in Dachu can have a city as a dowry? I need someone to take care of this property for me right now. This person must be someone I trust. How much money I invested in Qingchun City, don't you know? Can you bear to watch others spoil it? Don't want to help me take care of it? Not to mention, I β₯ β₯ not wrongβ₯ little β₯ said, .qΒ£uledβu. After marrying in the future, do you need to consolidate your position in your in-law's family? I am the concubine of the Chen family, the queen's niece, and the queen mother's niece and the future queen's cousin. Also, I am still the county lord of Dachu, so I can have my own mansion without living with my in-laws. Even so, if my future mother-in-law treats me badly, it's a big deal that I won't stay in Dachu, I am still the governor of Nanyang, and I am the eternal city lord of Qingchun City, and I can take my husband with me. Come to our city, manage the city together, and pass it on to future generations. So, you guys get it? That's what I'm built on. And not the future mother-in-law's house. β
Qiu Bi thought about it, is it true, can the girl in her own family be compared with the average girl's family? My own girl has a city as an asset. This is the inheritance of the future girl, which can be passed on to future generations. If the mother-in-law dares to embarrass the girl, then everyone comes to Qingchun City, here, see which mother-in-law dares to embarrass the girl? In fact. No need to say it. Qiu Bi and the others knew that the girl in their family still liked Zhao Chongyi. They also know a little about the situation in General Zhao's family. After all, these four big girls have been in the capital before. Helped Wen Hui to run Yangshan Hall. Hospitals, etc. I have come into contact with most of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and I still have some knowledge of the loyal duchess. That master is not a good stubble. So, after these four maids knew the master's mind. They all secretly made up their minds that they must help their girls fight their mother-in-law in the future, and they must not let their girls suffer. But will that happen? Just like what the girl said, if that situation occurs, and the girl and General Zhao go to Qingchun City to hide, no matter how powerful that Duchess of Zhongyi is, can she come to Nanyang to mess around?
Qiu Bi suddenly felt how naΓ―ve her previous thoughts were, what kind of person is a girl, the smartest person in the world, how could she put herself in a dangerous situation? In fact, this Qingchun City is the foundation of everyone's life, as long as there is this city, the girl will never suffer. Thinking of this, Qiu Bi said: "Girl, in the past, we thought badly. Just like the girl said, Qingchun City is our foundation. We are also reluctant to hand over the girl's hard work to others, so it is better for a few of us to look at it with confidence. Since the girl doesn't want us anymore, we will accept this appointment, and we must take good care of this family for the girl. β
Chen Wenhui smiled with satisfaction: "I said a long time ago, or a few of you who grew up with me are the most loyal to me, this is something that no one else can compare." Besides, if you always think about me, shouldn't I think about you? What will be your end in the future? Am I not worried? Have I become the lord of the city and let you still be slaves? Children and grandchildren also become slaves? I have already sued you, and I will give you slavery in the future. It's just that this day came early. In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is such a deed of sale or not. Are you faithful to me because of this piece of paper? Without this paper, you would have been faithful to me. β
Qiu Bi nodded hurriedly.
Chen Wenhui continued: "Not only you, but in the future, the four of them, I will also give them their freedom." I can't let you serve me all my life, and when you're old, you'll still be a slave, right? β
Qiu Bi smiled and said, "That girl, who will serve you in the future?" β
Chen Wenhui said: "This is also a headache for me, mainly because I have too many things, a group of good maids are by my side, and I have exercised, and after a few years of hard work, I have to go out to take charge of myself and take care of things for me, which requires me to keep cultivating little maids, otherwise, I will really fall to the point where no one serves." β
Qiu Bi smiled even more happily when she said this.
Chen Wenhui took a sip of tea and said: "In the final analysis, our foundation is still too thin, and there is a shortage of manpower." Now that you're going to be the head of the Financial Secretary. Then I hope that the three of you will have a good discussion, how to build your team, and who to use? How to manage? What kind of people do you need, what kind of people are not enough to recruit, and how about drawing up a plan for me? β
Qiu Bi hurriedly said, "Okay, girl, we will do our best to come up with this plan." β
Chen Wenhui asked: "Where did you and Wan Shuhui hold all this money before?" What do you think? Is there a shortage of funds right now? If you are short of money, you must tell me when that we can still transfer money from Dachu, and we must not delay the construction of the city because of money. β
Qiu Bi said: "My good girl, this city was not built in a day, and you know that we are in Shanghai, and we have been building it for several years. Our scale is not as big as that of Shanghai City, and we don't need as much money as Shanghai City. The construction of Shanghai City is good, and it probably cost nearly 20 million. That's because Shanghai is too big, and we don't plan to build such a big city, and we don't plan to build it all at once, we have to build it slowly, pick up the main ones first, so that the money can be turned, and one million can be used as 10 million times. β
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "What you said is also right. As long as we speed up the conversion of funds and let the money circulate, there will be no shortage of money. And the way to get money out of circulation is to expand trade. There are two areas that can be expanded. On the one hand, we need to increase our production so that more caravans can come to us. We can trade with Da Chu, Yizhou Island, or between the four cities. You must know that the population of four cities is hundreds of thousands, and this consumption is also unbelievable. β
"At present, our trade is only with foreign merchant ships, and we will trade the furniture, precious wood, and some ores that we have produced. Now several varieties have been added, for example, our porcelain craftsmen have found good soil here and can fire very good porcelain, and these delicate porcelain are also very popular with the caravans of Dachu. In addition, our Cuijin House mainly makes some precious embroidery with Luzon style patterns, which is also very popular with caravans. However, we are not yet thinking of selling to several other cities. β
Chen Wenhui said: "In this regard, you should also think of ways to strive for more sales to other cities. And others, I would say, are not to be sold out of our precious wood. We keep it and work it for our own craftsmen. You know, the profit from selling wood is too different from selling furniture made from precious wood. Not only can we no longer sell our precious wood, but we also have to think of ways to buy them in the other four cities. You know, these precious wood, use a little less, these wood are thousands of years to grow, once cut, where is there thousands of years, waiting for their growth? β
Qiu Bi thought about it, so she said, "That's easy." We can say to the caravan that we buy wood from the other three cities, so that the caravan will be willing to run if it is profitable. If you run on one side, you won't make much money, but if you sell our production again, they will definitely be willing. Wouldn't our production be able to sell to those three cities? β
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Yes." In addition to going out to the outside. We also need to expand domestic demand. You know, we already have a population of tens of thousands. If we can make tens of thousands of us rich, then their purchasing power is superb. This is called hiding the wealth from the people. β
Qiu Bi thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "In the past, although we didn't understand this truth, but because we gave a lot of loans to our craftsmen and people, they had money to buy land, had money to hire Japanese slaves, had money to open up wasteland, and then took the trees cut down from the wasteland and sold them, so that when they had money, they could buy the houses we built, buy more of our land, and then go to open up the wasteland." And also. After they bought a house, because they had to move in, they wanted to buy furniture and daily necessities, so that our porcelain, pottery, cheap, furniture made of ordinary wood, sold very quickly, this is not to expand domestic demand. β
Chen Wenhui clapped her hands and said: "Okay, this is to expand domestic demand." In the future, you will study in these directions, and if you have ideas, you will tell me in time. β
Qiu Bi hurriedly agreed.
Chen Wenhui chatted with Qiu Bi a few more words, and when it was time to eat, Chen Wenhui stayed with Qiu Bi to eat. After the meal, Qiu Bi hurriedly went to make plans. Chen Wenhui didn't even have time to rest, so she hurriedly met the black master brought by Green Sprouts, and chatted with the black master for a long time. Chen Wenhui also gave the master of the Hei family a complete set of tea sets from the Ru kiln she brought from Da Chu, and the entire master of the Hei family was very happy to see such exquisite porcelain and accepted it happily.
