Chen Wenhui said: "Brother Chen Fu, look, I'm going to Nanyang, do you want to send a capable and shrewd person to follow me, I want to open a branch of Cuijin Lou in Nanyang." The workers of this branch used Gui Yuxia and others, as well as their apprentices. Gui Yuxia's skills are not to be said, and her ability to teach her apprentices is also very good, but after all, they live in the palace all the year round, and they have too little contact with the outside world, so it is not good to be a shopkeeper who controls the overall situation. ”

Chen Fu frowned and said: "There are candidates for the shopkeeper, because we are opening branches in various big cities in Dachu, so we have always paid attention to cultivating the candidates for the shopkeeper." Some of them were cultivated by ourselves, and some of them were dug from some embroidery workshops. Therefore, there are still manpower in this area. As for the embroidery girl, I can rest assured, with Gui Yuxia and them, they can do as much work as they want, and no matter how delicate the work is, it will be difficult. But I'm just worried. ”

Chen Wenhui asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

Chen Fu said: "Nanyang is still a wild land, the girl went, she started from scratch, there are no rich people there, and we Cuijinlou can't make money just by making some beautiful clothes for these people." The most profitable is still Baoyi. But where can there be a need for people in Nanyang? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Yes." At the beginning, we had four cities to build, and naturally there were few orders, but it was not nothing. Don't I need it? Doesn't the second brother need it? It can also be done for people from the black family. Although the skills of the black family are also good, there is still a sense of curiosity. The Hei family, who have been wearing the clothes made by Meixiutang for almost a thousand years, should be tired of it. Therefore, it should be made to order in our store to some extent. In addition to these. There are also those sons and daughters of the family. They can't let go of their worth and bring concubines and maids and the like. These people have to wear it, and they all pay attention to appearance, don't they need it? Although they will also bring servants who can needlework, how can these people compare with Gui Yuxia from the palace. It just so happened that these Gui Yuxia only went to four in the first year, and the apprentices had not yet grown up, and there were few people. Naturally, there can't be much work to do. Isn't that just right? In the second year, the other four will pass with their apprentices, and besides, Gui Yuxia's apprentices can also take over the delicate work, and our city should be built. When the time comes, the production of Luzon Island in the South Seas will definitely attract many merchants. Don't these merchants need to wear them? In the third year, because our production is increasing day by day, and there are more merchants, there are naturally permanent residents, and there are no orders. ”

Chen Fu thought about it too. Immediately he said, "The girl is thoughtful, like this." I'll send men when I get back. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "We must find capable and clever people, Cuijin Building is not only a place to make money, but also a place to collect news, and Qinghe Lou is the same as the eyes and ears of our house." Therefore, I plan to open another branch of Qinghe Building. In this way, I can grasp the voices of my city from the bottom, from the top, from all sides. ”

As soon as Chen Fu heard this, he immediately understood, in fact, as the chief shopkeeper of Cuijin Building, half of his time was spent collecting and sorting out news. After hearing this, I also felt that it made sense, so I immediately nodded, and began to wonder which one was more appropriate.

At this time, Chen Wenhui suddenly blushed and said, "Brother Chen Fu, did you open a branch in the iron wall?" ”

Chen Fu was thinking about choosing a shopkeeper for Chen Wenhui, so he replied casually: "After the girl told me last time, I sent someone over." In fact, that's where you lose money. At first, I didn't agree to open a branch there, but after the girl said that, I reported it to my wife. Madame said that the store that was closed in Tiebi was not for the purpose of making money. Are we still short of any money? We are here to take better care of Second Young Master Zhao. He is a great benefactor of our family, and if it weren't for him, the girl would be in danger. Therefore, in order to repay him, this branch should also be opened. Moreover, the relationship between Tiebi Pass is important, and the news from Tiebi Pass is more important. That's why you have to open this shop. As soon as I heard that it was right, I opened a branch, and now people have been sent out for a long time, and they have already given me the news, and the store is open. Naturally, the clothes made for Second Young Master Zhao are the most. It's a pity that we don't collect money, or we can break even. ”

Chen Wenhui was a little embarrassed when she heard it. I have always made money for my family, and for the first time, I made my family lose money.

Chen Fu saw that Chen Wenhui didn't speak, and couldn't help but come back to his senses, only to find that his girl was flushed, and she was there with her head down and didn't know what to think. Chen Fu couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, why did this girl of his own family care so much about the affairs of the branch in Tiebiguan? By the way, this branch was opened by Chen Wenhuiti. Oh, this look, it can't be that the girl of her own family has fallen in love with the second young master of the Zhao family. Well, this is big news, so I must go back and tell my lady about it. You must know that Feiguang is the one who cares about Chen Wenhui the most.

However, when he thought about the second young master of the Zhao family, Chen Fu was also very satisfied, that person was the best choice in terms of appearance and personality, and he could be regarded as worthy of his own girl.

Chen Wenhui didn't realize that her heart had been discovered by Chen Fu, and after thinking about Zhao Chongyi's matter for a while, she thought about it again, Chen Wenhui said: "Brother Chen Fu, when you negotiate the price with your cousin of the Tian family for a while, can't you be soft?" We have worked hard for so long, the clothes of the black family have made a little money, our family, and mine have not made any money, if these families don't make a little more money, we are thankful, isn't it in vain? ”

Chen Fu said with a smile: "Don't worry, although it is against the young master, I will not be soft-hearted." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them talked for a while about Cuijin Lou's operation in Dachu. As he was talking, Tian Jingye had already come in, with a smile on his face, Chen Wenhui looked at the black family Tang Guanghui who was following Tian Jingye, and found that Tang Guanghui quietly squeezed his eyes. Chen Wenhui immediately understood that he must have succeeded in slaughtering. The poor cousin was still like he had won the battle.

Chen Wenhui said: "It seems that the two of you have reached an agreement. In this way, I have something to say with the shopkeeper Tang, so let's talk about my cousin and Chen Fu's shopkeeper. I want to come to my cousin often to the Chen family, and I also know Chen Fu. He turned out to be my grandmother brother, and he married my eldest maid. Because the husband and wife were in charge of the affairs of Cuijin Mansion for my mother, my mother freed the two of them from slavery. Now we are the chief shopkeeper of Cuijin Building. ”

Although Chen Fu is the son of his maternal grandfather's family, he is now free from slavery, he is a good citizen, and he is the chief treasurer.

Chen Fu said: "Oh, young master, a slave can't be a slave." Slaves are now good citizens. But the slave is the son of the family, and he has been greatly favored by the house since he was a child. That year, when the young master was young, didn't the slave still pick apricots in the back garden with the young master? As a result, the young master peed on the minion. ”

Tian Jingye's originally breezy and elegant face was suddenly wolfed. Chen Wenhui almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Knowing that his cousin was embarrassed, he went out with Tang Guanghui.

Chen Wenhui thought in her heart, this time, her cousin Tian Jingye must have died even worse. Chen Fuke was even more difficult to deal with than Tang Guanghui, and the first sentence gave Tian Jingye a dismissal.

As soon as she entered the house, Chen Wenhui burst into laughter before she was ready. Tang Guanghui said with a smile: "The shopkeeper Chen is really a person, it seems that this transaction, the shopkeeper Chen will definitely be able to make a satisfactory price." ”

Chen Wenhui laughed even more. After laughing, Chen Wenhui asked, "How is it?" What price do you pay to the family? ”

When Tang Guanghui heard this, his eyebrows fluttered and he said, "Guess? ”

Chen Wenhui pouted and said, "Just by looking at you like this, you must have slaughtered your cousin, right?" ”

Tang Guanghui said with a smile: "This is natural, the families have joined forces to build a city, how abundant the funds are." He doesn't care about money. In the end, after bargaining, I was very distressed and gave him an average price of eight taels of silver. He was very satisfied, and felt that he had taken a big advantage. ”

Chen Wenhui's eyes widened: "Actually, everyone has three taels more than mine." That's amazing. No, I have strings attached, what about you? It must be more than just money, right? ”

Tang Guanghui said with a smile: "This additional condition of mine is also very simple, of course, he mentioned yì to me, gave me some scholars to manage affairs, and some sergeants, I didn't ask for this." Because our black family still has these manpower? My condition is that I can let the Hei family go to the clan land of the four major families to open Jinming Shop. ”

Chen Wenhui immediately stood up and said, "Oh, what a shrewdness." You are doing a good business, and you have paid 150,000 taels of silver more than the price you gave me, and you have also received the good deeds of opening branches of four families. That's good. The products of your black family can now be sold to the clan land of the four major families. Moreover, you can also buy the rich products of the clan lands of the four major families. For example, the ginseng mink skin in the northeast, the gem in the northwest, the rich and precious medicinal materials on the plateau, and the Wang family's land is even more abundant, and I am not rare in others. ”

Tang Guanghui smiled and said, "This is certain. However, I don't know if it can be done, after all, Tian Gongzi can't represent the four major families. I still need the emperor's consent, and the patriarchs of each family need to agree. ”

Chen Wenhui sighed and said, "If it was before, it is estimated that the emperor would not have had a good time. But is this the case now? The cousin was appointed by the emperor himself, so he has to support his cousin, this is about the face of the emperor and the eldest princess. The emperor will agree. As soon as the emperor agreed, the various patriarchs must applaud. They have long wanted to trade. (To be continued......)
