The second thing Han Jiang was thinking about was a bit ruthless.

Han Jiang considered that all the businesses in Chuzhou that had trading information on the market would become his own, and anyone who wanted to trade had to go through his own business, which had too many benefits, unified pricing, unified quality, and could integrate the business of the trench into it, but is this kind of monopoly possible.

It must be allocated to the local wealthy families, so in the court?

It's a bit of a headache.

What made Han Jiang most uncomfortable was that there was no way to discuss this kind of thing, because other people didn't understand it at all.

Han Jiang shook the rattle.

There are two kinds of bells in Han Jiang's hand, one is deeper and long, and the other is crisp and urgent.

Han Jiang shook his voice urgently.

Mei Xiang who is in office enters.

Han Jiang instructed: "Go and see Mrs. Yu and ask a word for me alone." Just ask, please send someone to Yushan Port to ask if Lei Yu can receive the first ship of raw materials. Be sure to get accurate information. ”

"Yes."

Mei Xiang retreated.

Han Jiang continued to write his own plan, and when Han Jiang was writing, he considered to see if the Qian family could research a new paper that could allow him to use a pen dipped in ink to write, but it was too hard to use a brush.

Han Jiang also knew that this was a job where practice makes perfect, and many scribes could write tens of thousands of words a day, which was practiced.

Besides, Mei Xiang, when she arrives at the compound, she won't send someone to do this kind of thing, and asking this must be a confidential matter.

When Yu Shuniang heard that Mei Xiang wanted to see her, she asked someone to invite Mei Xiang to the flower hall.

Yu Shuniang's personal maid said: "Just now, the second girl of Aunt Zhai's family went to the courtyard over there, so she came down to report, and left without a cup of tea in the courtyard. ”

"Yes." Shu Niang Yu nodded to show that she understood.

This is, no matter what Mei Xiang says on behalf of Han Jiang, she has to listen, even if she says that she doesn't want to see the Zhai family girl again, she can only do it.

When Mei Xiang saw Yu Shuniang entering, she gave a salute first, and then said: "Please let Mrs. Yu step back left and right, my young gentleman has a few important words to say." ”

Shu Niang Yu waved her hand to signal her side to leave, but she thought that it must be for the girl's business.

This girl is wrong, so she shouldn't take the initiative to approach Han Jiang.

When there was no one in the hall, Mei Xiang realized: "My young gentleman wants to ask Mrs. Yu to send a reliable person to Yushan Wharf and ask General Lei to tell whether the raw materials of the first ship are stable." ”

What the?

Yu Shuniang never expected this to happen.

What raw materials does this guy have to hide from himself and calculate by ship, so what are the raw materials?

Yu Shuniang thought for a while and replied: "I will send someone to ask, please go back and tell your young monarch, I have many doubts." Will he answer, if it is convenient, I will give him a small banquet in the evening, and he will determine the rest of the people at the banquet except for my family. ”

"Yes, the maid is leaving."

Watching Mei Xiang leave, Yu Shuniang admired it in her heart.

Although the Han family is notorious in Lin'an Mansion, the Han family's tutoring etiquette makes people unable to find fault with it.

Yu Shuniang believes that Mei Xiang must have studied women's studies.

It's just a little housekeeper.

After Mei Xiang went back to report Han Jiang, Han Jiang replied: "That's it, you have to run an errand again and reply to Mrs. Yu." I came to Chuzhou empty-handed, and I didn't bring any gifts to the door, but Commander Zhang entertained me with money and effort, and in the evening I set up a banquet, a family banquet, and invited Zhang and Zhai to come. The four of you can arrange it. ”

"Yes, I'll go."

The Han family has a complete set of processes for arranging this kind of thing.

It's just that this is not Lin'an, and the people who have to work hard to buy ingredients go to the market to buy them.

The official invitation was delivered, and Shu Niang Yu immediately replied to the post.

Basically, the whole family goes to the feast.

Zhang Yi's two sons-in-law and one daughter-in-law are also on the list.

Mei Xiang also explained to Han Jiang: "I rely on the etiquette of the main banquet, and the concubines and concubines under Command Zhang are not qualified to come." It's just that we don't have a host to receive female guests here, I'm afraid that if the young gentleman welcomes him personally. ”

"Yes." Han Jiang has been traveling for several days, but he only knows a little bit of the complicated rules among the nobles.

Fortunately, the four maids around them are responsible for their own things, and they are proficient in these etiquette things, so they only need to stand as dolls.

After Mei Xiang started to arrange, she sent someone to the market to call back Danxia, Lanxiang and others who ran out.

There are too many things to arrange for such a banquet, and people who are not in charge of things are bound to make mistakes.

Danxia learned the rules of the Qian family, and did not understand the rules of the Han Mansion, so she also took this opportunity to learn, after all, she will be the personal maid next to the eldest lady in the future.

In the evening, Zhang Yi, Yu Shuniang, Zhai Jian, the nine girls of the Yu family, and the children on both sides, it is impossible for the children to participate in the banquet without identity.

The status of the man comes from the fame, and the woman comes from the husband's family.

Han Jiang greeted the guests at the door, and after seeing the ceremony, he spoke directly without being polite: "I have set a rule for the family, called the CD Rules." You can eat as much as you want, but if you put it on your own plate, unless the cook makes it too unpalatable, you will be punished for more than five percent of the leftovers, and even my father obeys this rule. ”

Yu Shuniang smiled heartily: "Brother Jiang'er, aren't you afraid that someone in Lin'an Mansion will laugh at your Han family?" ”

Han Jiang shrugged his shoulders: "What about jokes, I can sing high-pitched in Lin'an Mansion, and my Han family is thrifty." Since ancient times, thrift has been a virtue, not to mention that Mrs. Yu, you don't know, how much money can my Han family save a year with this rule? ”

"How much?"

Han Jiang stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers: "Five million dollars." ”

Thousands of guan saved, which is indeed a large number.

Han Jiang said again: "This is just Lin'an's house, if you count Zhuangzi and other houses, it will be more." Luxury does not mean waste, and expensive does not mean not thrifty. ”

Zhang Yi was purely curious: "Expensive, how can it still be thrifty?" ”

Han Jiang took his hand: "Commander Zhang, your belt should be made in Yangzhou, I have seen such a belt, it looks beautiful but it will last for two years at most." ”

Zhang Yi nodded, indeed.

Han Jiang pointed to his belt: "This belt of Lin'an Changxingzhuang is made of exquisite materials and fine workmanship. One top your price is at least several times the price. However, such a belt can last for ten years without fading and without deformation. Converted into days, who is cheaper? ”

"This." Zhang Yi heard this theory for the first time.

Han Jiang continued: "And I'm more beautiful and precious. What about the bargain? Of course, this is only for daily use, there is no such thing as a dress, I have a set of clothes, which has not been knitted yet, and the kind is estimated to only be worn once or twice a year, this kind of can't be counted, only commonly used things. ”

Zhang Yi shook his head, still not quite understanding.

The rest of the people were also confused, they still couldn't understand this way of calculation.
