Luo Hu went to the embroidery room, found Jin Xia, and summed up with Jin Xia. Jin Xia smiled and said, "The patent for this fruit candy is good. I think this must be very profitable. In this case, I will ask the workshop manager for a leave of absence later, and we will go to Nanyang Bank to find someone to take out a loan now. Try to get things done today. It's just that a loan of 30,000 taels is not enough? ”

Luo Hu said: "Thirty thousand taels is enough." We still have some savings to buy new tools and custom packaging. As for the raw material brown sugar, there are many in our warehouse. Think about it, with this, our worthless brown sugar can be turned into fruit candy, and we can earn about 2,000 taels more just from the existing goods in our hands. Can't you do this business yet? It's really not good, we can also buy all the brown sugar from the sugar houses in Qingchun City. We'll be able to make more money as quickly as possible. Brother Da Niu said that we can pay back the principal in one or two years, and I think we can repay the loan in one year. In the future, maybe we will have more money than the eldest sister's family. ”

Gui Jinxia smiled and said: "Even if you are richer than the eldest sister's family in the future, you must remember that if it weren't for the eldest sister and the eldest brother, where would our family be today." ”

Luo Hu hurriedly said: "Can you forget this?" Forget it, I'm somebody. Hurry up. ”

Gui Jinxia hurriedly asked for leave and hurriedly went out with Luo Hu.

Here, Gui Jinxia followed Luo Hu. Wei Gang also went to find Gui Yinxia. After talking to Gui Yinxia about the loom, Gui Yinxia said: "It's still time to work in the workshop, let's go to the eldest sister's house at night and ask the eldest sister and the eldest brother." ”

Wei Gang nodded hurriedly. Go home and wait patiently. When Gui Yinxia came back in the evening, the two of them asked the cook to cook, and after eating, they cleaned up and went to Gui Yuxia's house.

Gui Yuxia had just returned from the yamen. After eating, I saw my sister and brother-in-law coming, so I quickly let in and asked the maid to make tea.

Wei Gang was so anxious that he didn't have time to drink the tea, so he hurriedly told him what he meant, Gui Yinxia glared at Wei Gang and said, "You're in a hurry." Eldest sister. What do you think? ”

Gui Yuxia said: "The business of our embroidery room is getting better and better. Although the embroidery girl is more and more. However, the product is still in short supply. In particular, cotton cloth is now very popular in Dachu, and many rich and noble families are also willing to wear cotton clothes, because they are light and warm. The cotton yield in our Qingchun City is average. However, the cotton production in the adjacent Tongren City is very high, so we bought the cotton. They also felt that it was better to sell the cotton directly to us to make money by transporting it all the way to Dachu. However, we have no cotton, and the amount of cotton cloth is still not large. Because of the weavers. There are not enough looms. I think it's good business. ”

Gui Yinxia said: "I know in the embroidery room, not only did we buy all the cotton cloth in Qingchun City. also acquired cotton cloth from Tianshui City, Tongren City, and Puning City, and even dropped cotton cloth from Xinguang City. If only our family could produce cotton cloth. I think it's enough to just supply our embroidery room. You don't even have to sell it to Da Chu. ”

Da Niu smiled and said, "Look, this business." As long as you find a buyer, you can find the raw materials. It's not a problem, the rest is just hard work. If this business doesn't work, what else will it do? ”

Gui Yuxia said: "As for cotton, I think you can grow some on your own farms, you can also harvest some from those farms, and you can also buy it from the city lord's mansion. It's just that cotton must be made into cotton thread before it can be spun. This yarn also needs to be made into a workshop. Can you make it all as a family? ”

That's a fact. Wei Gang thought for a while and said, "My second brother also wants to do business, why don't I ask him to open a textile workshop?" ”

Gui Yuxia said: "That's better. Go tell him. As for your weaving workshops. I'll get it out first. Our embroidery room is also in need. As for the money, it's not a problem, you let Yinxia guarantee it, and it won't be a problem to get a loan of 10,000 to 20,000 taels. After all, Yinxia is the chief steward, and you have credit. I seem to remember your second brother's family, his wife is also a person from our embroidery room, and she is also a big steward. It's like I used to be my apprentice. ”

Wei Gang hurriedly said: "Yes." ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "Isn't that good? If the family is willing to do this business, the loan will not be a problem. Did you know? Jin Xia borrowed 30,000 silver today. But as a chief steward, plus good credit can only borrow up to 20,000 taels, there is no way, she went to the yamen today to find me, I asked the deputy city lord to approve her loan. I guess I've bought the patent back now. ”

Gui Yinxia said: "The second sister is an acute child. In this way, we can't lag behind, we will take out a loan tomorrow, and then buy a patent, go to the black house to buy a loom, Wei Gang, then you will go to your second brother's house now to talk about it. ”

The two of them hurriedly said goodbye, but Gui Yuxia couldn't keep it, so they had to go.

In this way, Gui Yinxia's cotton textile workshop was opened, and Weigang's second brother's family also opened a spinning factory. Business is not bad.

Gui Yuxia was busy for a few days, and finally got busy with the issue of craftsmen about the construction of the Acropolis, so she had time to talk to Wen Hui.

When she went, Wen Hui had just come back from outside, and she was very strange to see Gui Yuxia looking for her, and asked, "Deputy Director Gui, do you have anything to do?" ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "It's just a small thing. How did the county lord come back from outside? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Didn't I go to see places outside the city?" Say, what's the matter with you? ”

Gui Yuxia told the things she heard from Da Niu about the barbarians, and she was silent. Chen Wenhui is a smart person, she doesn't need to say much, she will definitely be able to have her own ideas.

Sure enough, Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "This is the great integration of nationalities." Speaking of which, I used to hate barbarians. Do you know? When I was young, my father was the prefect of Deqing, Huzhou. At that time, the iron wall in the north was broken by the barbarians, how many of our people were displaced, how many soldiers were lost, and how many innocent people died. You see, I don't treat those prisoners of war very well, and if you see the miserable appearance of those victims, you will hate the barbarians so much. ”

Only then did Gui Yuxia remember that Chen Yuanheng's fame in the capital seemed to be helping the victims in the north.

Chen Wenhui said: "At that time, I wished that I was a man and could go to the battlefield to kill all the barbarians. Later, however, I did not go to war. However, our army of Dachu is good, they really defeated the barbarians, not to mention taking back the iron wall pass, and also defeated the barbarians' imperial court. Now the barbarians have basically died out. But in the northern steppe, there are still countless peoples, and in the future they may be able to grow into a nation like the barbarians, then we will suffer again. ”

Gui Yuxia didn't think about this at all, and couldn't help but say, "Oh, what can I do about this?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "We are an agrarian civilization, and our agrarian civilization is destined to be violated and attacked by the nomadic civilization. However, in the process, national integration will definitely take place. But I don't want us to be forced to merge after being enslaved, I want to integrate them as we do now. ”

Gui Yuxia was thoughtful.

Chen Wenhui said: "This thing you told me is very good, I almost forgot about it." In my opinion, our resident policy must be changed. We must think of a good way to treat the land and these prisoners of war. Since they want to integrate into us, we have to treat them well, and after a few generations of integration in the future, there will be no barbarians, no distinction between Great Chu, and they are all children of Qingchun City. That's fine. ”

Gui Yuxia couldn't help asking: "Our current slaves are basically from the Wa Kingdom, as well as from Silla and Goguryeo." Originally, most of the barbarians had redeemed themselves or their relatives and friends in the past few years, and they were all free people. Many of them have property, bought houses, and ranches. The fact that we can drink milk now is a credit to them. However, what about these Japanese people, Silla and Goguryeo people? In a few years, they should be able to redeem themselves, and at that time, should we also make them free people? ”

"It can't be so easy for them to become free people. I have to think about it. The people of these two nations are inferior to the barbarians. The barbarians are savage and strong, but they are straightforward and have clear grievances. The people of these two nations are so bad, I have to think of a good way to do it. By the way, and those natives, my policy is that all the natives I catch must be sent to the Japanese kingdom or sent to the Silla Peninsula for exchange. Our Qingchun City is not allowed to raise natives. However, some people still don't care, they just think that these natives are cheap, so they keep them privately, I think we have to find an opportunity for Jian Da to check it, and I can't let these natives stay here. ”

Gui Yuxia didn't say anything, this is not her scope of responsibility.

Chen Wenhui looked at Gui Yuxia and suddenly remembered and said: "Your big cow is doing well now, and they have all bought my patents and started to produce flavors." I heard that it is very profitable, and your family has been replaced with a big house. It's right next to my City Lord's Mansion. I'll be sure to visit your house another day. By the way, what about your relatives now? ”

Gui Yuxia hurriedly said: "As long as the county lord is willing to come, it is an honor for our whole family." Our big cow often tells me that we must remember how our life came about today is the favor of the county lord, and if we can entertain the county lord, he will definitely be very happy. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take some time and I'll definitely go and sit." ”

Gui Yuxia smiled again and introduced the situation at home. Chen Wenhui said: "It's really good, not only do I know that farming is not profitable, and I have started to do business, but I also know how to use high technology to do business." This knowledge is power, and you must remember a few words. ”

Gui Yuxia hurriedly said: "You must remember." ”

Chen Wenhui chatted with Gui Yuxia for a few words, and then asked Gui Yuxia to go back.

When Gui Yuxia went back, Chen Wenhui thought about it for a long time, sat in the study, and wrote and painted for a long time. (To be continued)
