Li Guangyan saw two new means of getting rich in the second issue of "Miscellaneous Notes on People's Livelihood", one was to open a pond to grow water lotus and raise fish, and to plant mulberry in the pond. But this method is suitable for those who own large tracts of idle land, and she thinks about it, but naturally it is still not suitable.

The other is even more unsuitable, is the method of Western glass manufacturing, the whole procedure is cumbersome and complicated, and the investment amount is also large, among which the technique of blowing glassware, but Li Guangyan keenly feels that if it is really feasible, then in the future there will be a new series of utensils.

And among them, it is indeed an opportunity to make a windfall!

"This Yu Gongzi is strange, it is said that he has a kind of jade technique, but he never thought that there are these ways to get rich, why didn't he keep it for himself to get rich, but took it out and made it public?" When Mo Zhu mentioned Yu Gongzi now, her eyes flashed with stars, and she also took the time to watch two ball games, and after she came back, she couldn't forget the excitement in the ball market.

"Yu Gongzi has his own deep meaning." Li Guangyan said.

"What is the plan of Ji Jing, he can make a fortune by relying on this, why should he publish this fortune technique?"

"People don't care...... That's Yu Gongzi, who learned the art of planting beads from ancient books. ”

Indeed, if others say that they have a way to get rich, people with a little brain will regard it as a warlock who sells iron into alchemy, but Yu Guozhen is different, the art of planting beads has made him famous, and he writes these "Fortune Sutras" in magazines, which can make many people tempted.

Like Li Guangyan, if it weren't for the lack of capital and the fact that he didn't dare to take risks, he was afraid that he would have already begun to test Yu Guozhen's various methods.

"By the way, when I came back, the servant heard that Wu Sangui had invited twenty-one Oiran leaders from Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou to fight for the name of Qin Huai Bayan!" While doing needlework, Mo Zhu said: "They also printed a private newspaper, but it was too rough, others just bought cooked meat to wrap it, and they also liked to use the people's livelihood bulletin, instead of his private newspaper." ”

"Oh?"

"Twenty-one Oiran will take the first ride on the painting boat, and today they have entered Jinling City, and they have heard that it is very lively...... Hmph, they say that they are not inferior to our little ladies on the Qinhuai River......"

"Mozhu, we are a good family, what do you say!"

"Ahh Mozhu stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.

At this moment, the door creaked open, Li Mao walked in again, and he came to the door respectfully: "Miss, someone wants to see you?" ”

"Someone asking to see? Who is it? ”

"It's the shopkeeper of Yu Kee's miscellaneous store where we always buy fabrics."

"I'm a woman, it's hard to see him, you invite him to the courtyard to talk."

After a while, Yu Guowei walked in, he stood in the courtyard and hugged his fists: "Miss Li, there is something to ask for in the future." ”

"Thanks to Shopkeeper Yu's care in the past two years, if Shopkeeper Yu has anything, please do not hesitate to tell me."

"I know that Miss Li's tailoring skills are in Jinling, and now I want to ask Miss Li to cut a few sets of clothes."

Li Guangyan said in a low voice: "This matter is that Shopkeeper Yu takes care of the little girl, and he only needs to send someone to give an order. ”

"Because the situation is a bit special, I have to ask Miss Li to go with me to weigh my body...... Miss Li ordered the servants to go with her, please rest assured, just to keep it secret, this is for the little lady who participated in the Eight Yan Oiran. ”

Li Guangyan was stunned when he heard this, and then his breathing was slightly short: "Shopkeeper Yu is also surnamed Yu, and the Wuwei tiger cub ...... Could it be a family? ”

"That's my cousin." Yu Guowei said proudly: "When I was young, I looked at Chang Da. ”

"Original...... Yu Shopkeeper Jingran is Yu Youhu's brother, and the little woman is disrespectful! Li Guangyan raised her head in the room, her eyes flashed, originally she was regretting, the method of getting rich recorded in the "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" was not suitable for her, I don't know if she could find a way to get rich that suited her use, now it seems that there seems to be an opportunity to ask Yu Guozhen for advice in person!

Thinking of this, she said, "The little woman is willing to go over with Shopkeeper Yu...... But I wonder if the little girl is lucky enough to ask Yu Youhu a question? ”

"Haha, naturally!"

Hearing that this young lady from a declining family who has little contact with the outside world also knows his brother's reputation, Yu Guowei really feels honored. He is the oldest in the Yu family's generation, now he is thirty-three years old, and he used to think that he would only spend his life in Xiang'an guarding the pawnshop, but in the two years that he was sent to Nanjing, his knowledge and ability increased rapidly, and now he is not only more calm, but also gradually shows his talent in charge of his own side.

This made Yu Guozhen quite surprised, so Yu Guozhen had already told him to transfer the Yu family's business in Nanjing to Yu Guoan, and then go to Qinzhou with him.

Leaving Nanjing at this time, Yu Guowei did not feel pity at all, because he knew that it meant that Yu Guozhen would have more important things to hand over to him. As a member of the Yu clan, he knows Yu Guozhen's ability better than outsiders, and he also understands that if he does well, although he is a concubine, his status in the Yu family may not be lower than that of the two uncles in the second room!

A small sedan chair sent Li Guangyan and his maidservants into Yu Guozhen's temporary apartment, and learned that Li Guangyan wanted to see him, Yu Guozhen was somewhat vain in his heart, and his name was heard by the deep boudoir.

But Li Guangyan's question made him stunned for a while.

"Yu Gongzi, the little woman knows that Yu Gongzi is a pedantic celestial, may I ask if a little woman is like this, her family is in the middle of the road, and she completely relies on tailoring to feed her family, can she have a way to get rich?"

If Li Guangyan asked other questions, Yu Guozhen would not be surprised, and even asked if he could marry him, Yu Guozhen felt normal, but asking him about the Prosperity Sutra made Yu Guozhen stunned.

"This ...... Why did Ms. Lee ask this question? ”

"The little woman has read the two issues of "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous", which teach people the art of raising earthworms and chickens, the art of mulberry ponds, and the art of glass smelting, which should be Yu Gongzi's masterpieces, right?" Li Guangyan said slowly: "The little woman privately speculated that these are all ways to make a fortune, and each of them is almost the same as the art of planting beads, or even surpasses it. Yu Gongzi made this public to the public, as if he was teaching people to fish, and if this is the case, he will be willing to teach me his skills. ”

Yu Guozhen looked at the girl in the sedan curtain in a daze, her voice was gentle, but there was a rare refreshment in her words, and more importantly, she did not shy away from her words, and guessed Yu Guozhen's true intentions!

Wu Sangui and others thought that he ran "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous" and "People's Livelihood Express" to publicize the selection and evaluation of Qinhuai Bayan, but in fact, he put the cart before the horse.

The target of "Storm Collection" is Fang Yizhi, a Confucian scholar like Fang Yizhi, the Confucian thought of the Ming Dynasty is much more open than that of the later pseudo-Qing Dynasty, Xu Guangqi, who is a dignified old man and a scholar of the Six Cloth Books, is still willing to learn Western studies from foreign missionaries, and among the ordinary scholars, there are many interested in the real practical learning that has been applied to the world, with the specialized research spirit of Chinese scholars at this time, and even as long as one percent of them are willing to devote half of their leisure time to the study of practical learning, tens of thousands of scientists will appear in the Ming Dynasty!

"Miscellaneous Notes on People's Livelihood" is aimed at the middle and lower class families with small assets and adventurous spirit, who have a desperate desire for wealth, but cannot find a way to get rich, so they can only exchange their wealth for silver and two kilns to hide, or exchange for land to collect rent. And the method of getting rich in "Miscellaneous Notes on People's Livelihood" can not only point out a path for them, but Yu Guozhen has more far-reaching ambitions: when these people taste the sweetness, they will be more influenced by "Miscellaneous Notes on People's Livelihood" and gradually transform into factory owners!

"Minsheng Express" is a tool for Yu Guozhen to expand his influence for all strata of the city, mainly the people at the bottom, when those people are accustomed to getting news from the "Minsheng Express", then Yu Guozhen wants them to believe what they believe!

It can be said that Yu Guozhen's seemingly absurd vindictive behavior is actually the result of foresight. If he directly pushes out these three, there will be no wise people in the world, and someone must be able to see his intentions, but when these three are combined with Qin Huai Bayan's evaluation, others will only think that this is his youthful extravagance, and they will not worry about him.

When the other party comes to his senses, "Storm Collection", "People's Livelihood Miscellaneous", and "People's Livelihood Express" have already formed a huge impact, and at this time, if the other party wants to counteract, he has already lost the opportunity!

If someone really thinks that it is unreasonable and absurd for him to come to Nanjing to get this Qin Huai Bayan, then when he controls public opinion, he can make these people's faces sound loudly. If you don't stay in Nanjing, the political, economic and cultural center of the south, and stay in a small place in Xiang'an, where can his series of inventions and creations show the greatest effect!

What Yu Guozhen didn't expect was that his plan was seen through by the girl in front of him.

He also investigated Li Guangyan's origin, he was originally from Hubei, and came to Nanjing with his father, and after his father died of illness in office, his concubine took away a lot of property, and she got almost nothing except two servants, and was almost sold into the Qu market.

But in such a situation, she still persevered, relying on her own good tailoring work to support the family of master and servant.

"There is a method that can be used by Miss Li." Yu Guozhen was silent for a while, and then smiled: "Let's make brand fashion." ”

"Brand ...... Fashion? ”

"It happens to be related to my request for Miss Li's help this time, and Miss Li listened to me in detail."

At this time, tailor shops were already everywhere, but most of them were just helping people make a few pieces of clothing and earn some hard-earned money, and there were almost no ready-to-wear clothes. Yu Guozhen's advice to her is garment manufacturing.

"I'm afraid this matter will not come ......" Hearing such a suggestion, Li Guangyan was a little disappointed, but she was not discouraged, but directly explained the reason: "If there are women and women in the family, they are willing to buy cloth and woven clothes and ready-to-wear clothes...... The price is too expensive. ”

"That's because the fabric and labor used for the ready-to-wear garments woven by ordinary tailors are too expensive!" Yu Guozhen waved his hand: "But what if it is produced in a factory?" What you have to do is to think about how to make better clothes with less cloth, a ready-to-wear garment is more than a dozen cents cheaper than your own weaving, and it can also free up time for your own women who were originally busy cutting to find other tasks! ”

Hearing his words, Li Guangyan's eyes suddenly lit up: "There is such a ...... Loom? ”

"Why not?" Yu Guozhen laughed, what kind of machine is too difficult for him?
