To expand the business to the capital city of Tingzhou, the first thing Hui Niang had to do was to go to the old lady of the Shen family, the Li family, to "buy people". ※％，

Zhou went home to discuss with Shen Mingjun, and after obtaining her husband's consent, the two took Hui Niang to Shenxi Lobby for a showdown.

Shen Xi was too young to accompany him, staying at home, itching, and secretly wondering if this negotiation would be the same as the last time he discussed with his aunt and uncle about investing in Yang's Pharmacy...... The key is to see whether the old lady is willing to let go, or the psychological price of the old lady to let go.

Fortunately, the Li family was quite reasonable, and after Hui Niang came to visit, he immediately agreed, but put forward two requirements: first of all, Hui Niang had to take out eighty taels of silver at a time for settling in, and secondly, the income of Shen Mingjun and his wife in the pharmacy and printing workshop had to be sent back to her every month according to the previous rules, and the hands of the two could not be too small.

The old lady was afraid that she would not be able to catch her son and daughter-in-law, so she regarded economic power to the death.

In the past, the Shen family was in Taohua Village, but Shen Mingjun was the only one who worked in the county seat, and it was easy to manage, but now the people in the five rooms are separated from each other, and even the younger son and his wife have to go to Fucheng, which is no longer within the reach of the Li family, and the old lady feels that as long as she holds on to the money, there will be no problems.

Li seriously underestimated Zhou's position in Hui Niang's pharmacy and printing workshop, in the first half a year, the income of the printing workshop far exceeded that of the pharmacy, and the printing workshop Zhou was the major shareholder, and the dividends shared by the two sides were even more than that of Hui Niang, the owner, and the eighty taels of silver taken out this time were also drawn by Zhou from his own share, so from the beginning Li's plan was in vain.

As long as they are not in one place, it will be very difficult for the Li family to continue to control the couple.

People are selfish in the end, just like the eldest son who can shine on the lintel in the heart of the old lady, the Zhou family has long been eager to separate the family. But this kind of thing is tantamount to disobedience and unfilial piety for her daughter-in-law, and she may even be sentenced to immerse herself in a pig cage if she sues the government, so things can only be done step by step.

In Zhou's opinion, even if they can't separate their family in Fucheng this time, their family is finally out of the old lady's control and can live in peace.

The Li family is willing to release people, and things are off to a good start...... Although they spent 80 taels of silver, the two sisters accumulated nearly 3,000 taels of silver through more than a year of operating a pharmacy and a printing workshop, and they did not break their muscles and bones.

As for Shen Xi, originally according to the meaning of the old lady Li, Shen Mingjun and his wife followed Hui Niang to Fucheng, it is better to leave the child in Ninghua to study, and come back to see it during the New Year's holidays in the future.

But Hui Niang knew that doing business must have Shen Xi's think tank by her side, she would rather give the old lady some more benefits in exchange for Shen Xi's companions, and finally Hui Niang agreed to give the courtyard where Shen Mingjun's family lived to the old lady after leaving Ninghua, and there was no need to pay rent, which made Li relieved.

Out of the importance of Shen Xi's studies, Hui Niang and Shen Mingjun brought gifts to Su Yunzhong to explain the situation, and after the discussion of dropping out, they also asked Shen Xi to kowtow to Su Yunzhong, which means that even if Shen Xi has a future future, he will not forget Su Yunzhong's enlightenment.

As for which gentleman Shen Xi will find to continue his studies in the future, he will have to wait until Fucheng settles down before deciding.

Among the five maids that Hui Niang bought, Xiu'er, Ning'er and Xiaoyu were homeless and had no choice but to follow Hui Niang into the city.

Lu'er and Hong'er are different, the family is in Ninghua, although they sell themselves to take refuge, but Hui Niang is a sensible person, she doesn't want to separate her flesh and blood, but she doesn't want to waste the money she used to buy a maid. Hui Niang asked Hong'er and Lu'er to find someone to talk home, if the two families didn't want their daughter to go to Fucheng, they could return the money they had paid for selling their daughter before.

But obviously Hui Niang thinks too much, since people will sell their daughters, it is because the family is so poor that they can't open the pot, and now the money for selling people has long been spent, how can there be the idea of ransom? So the replies I got were all refusals to take it back, and even asked if my daughter had done a bad job in the master's house, and if they wanted them to come to the city to teach her a lesson and let her understand the rules.

Lu'er and Hong'er were disheartened, and suddenly felt that they not only had no worries about food and clothing in Huiniang's place, but they were not very busy at work on weekdays, and the most important thing was that there were many people, and there was no discrimination between each other, and they felt like a family, so they regarded the pharmacy as their home.

With the human matter out of the way, the next step is what to do with the pharmacy and the printing workshop.

In Hui Niang's mind, the pharmacy in Ninghua has already made a name for itself, and the business cannot be interrupted, and it can continue to operate as the general number of the pharmacy in the future, but before leaving, you have to hire a shopkeeper to take care of it on your behalf.

However, it seems inappropriate to open two pharmacies in Ninghua at the same time, in order to save manpower and material resources, Hui Niang and Zhou's decided to stop the new shop with a booming business after a brief discussion, and put the store out, leaving only the original small pharmacy.

Shen Xi felt that it was too much of a loss to do so.

Now the business of the two stores is very good, and as the big boss of the Tingzhou Pharmacy Chamber of Commerce, if Hui Niang herself only runs a small pharmacy, it will seriously damage her prestige in the Chamber of Commerce.

The reason why others believe in Hui Niang and let her introduce a female stream to be the head of the pharmacy chamber of commerce is that Hui Niang has business ideas and the ability to open up sources and reduce expenses for various shops, but the most important thing is that she runs two pharmacies at the same time, and her turnover is second to none in the entire Tingzhou Mansion. If you close a house and the profitability drops sharply, others will naturally gossip.

Shen Xi told Hui Niang about his concerns, and Hui Niang was very helpless when she heard it: "Xiaolang, it's not that my aunt doesn't want to maintain the two pharmacies, but I really can't take care of it." ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "Aunt Sun, in the end, you don't believe in outsiders, in fact, let's invite a shopkeeper is an invitation, and inviting two is also an invitation, why don't you maintain the pharmacies on both sides?" Even if we want to shut down, we have to wait until we start the business in Fucheng. ”

Hui Niang didn't rest well for the next two days, and after repeated consideration, she finally decided to listen to Shen Xi's opinion, and the two pharmacies were retained, but they had to invite two competent shopkeepers.

Hui Niang met with more than a dozen candidates in a row, examined their conversation and management skills, and finally selected two honest and simple middle-aged people to serve as shopkeepers, one in charge of the business of the original small shop, and the other in charge of the new pharmacy.

After finding the shopkeeper and recruiting a few new guys, Hui Niang spent two more days conducting them with the necessary "pre-employment training" to convey her previous concept of running a pharmacy.

Because Hui Niang couldn't take care of the pharmacy in Ninghua as soon as she went to Fucheng, she would check the accounts and purchase medicinal materials in the future, and Hui Niang would send people from the Chamber of Commerce to take charge of it.

With the Chamber of Commerce, it is equivalent to having a communication channel, even if Hui Niang is in Fucheng, she can also coordinate the two self-operated pharmacies in Ninghua County through the Chamber of Commerce.

After the pharmacy was settled, the next step was the printing workshop.

According to Shen Xi's previous suggestion, the semi-finished products and black-and-white comic books printed on Ninghua's side will be transported to Tingzhou Mansion through waterways and official roads, and then processed in Tingzhou Mansion City for secondary processing and final sale.

Originally, there was a special person in charge of each process of the printing workshop, and whether Hui Niang left had little impact, but Hui Niang still selected one from several printing masters to serve as the shopkeeper and was responsible for coordinating the affairs of the printing workshop. In addition, because Shen Xi, the "technical consultant", went to Fucheng, if there is any new technology in the future, the workshop will send people to Fucheng to learn, and then teach the technology to others after returning.

On the second day of October, after ten days of preparation, Hui Niang finally arranged everything.

Hui Niang was cautious by nature, for fear of missing something, so she recorded everything with a pen and paper, recalled them one by one, and finally called Zhou and Shen Xi to sum them together, until she was sure that there was no omission, and finally put her mind at ease.

The rest is how to create a piece of sky after arriving in Fucheng.
