Chapter 624: Heavy Rewards
"This next step must be done!" Chunya is also happy. is also the mother of two children, but she is still like a child, holding Chunzhi's hand and shaking, and she is reluctant to let go for a long time.
"Sister, you don't know how hard Chunyu is now in charge of the trading yard! Every day when he came back, he pulled me to complain, and then cried that my sister was too ruthless, and he could be used vigorously in the capital before. This year, you called him over from the south, and he thought he would be relieved, but who knew that there were more things to talk about on his head! And ......"
"Huh? What else? Haruka raised an eyebrow.
"Also, didn't he take people around the trading yard inside and outside all day long? There are many eldest sisters and aunts who have taken a fancy to him, and they want to tell him about their daughter-in-law, and several times a group of people have blocked him in the corner and prevented him from leaving! He was so frightened when he saw those people now that he didn't dare to go out to meet people now! Chunya gloated.
Burst!
Harukeda couldn't help but laugh.
"This stinky boy, he didn't bring it on himself today?" She said angrily, "I'm twenty years old, I was going to tell him about my daughter-in-law a long time ago, but he didn't agree, so he had to find it himself." In the south before, Chu Xu also thought about saying goodbye to him, and the ones he picked were all good girls, and he couldn't look down on any of them. Now that he is here, there are many fewer girls in Liangzhou than in the south, and he will definitely not be able to marry a daughter-in-law. Deserve! ”
Chunya nodded hurriedly. "You deserve it. He has today, and it's all his own doing! ”
However, she let out another long sigh. "The world is really different for men and women! I think at the beginning, I refused to get married, and the people around me urged me to do something one by one? My father and mother almost wanted to put me sleepy and stuff me directly into the sedan chair! As a result, now it's Chunyu's turn, and he's older than me, and everyone just sees and says a few words, and then just does it. There are even some people who say something, men, it's okay to get married two years later, start a business first and then start a family, and you can marry a better daughter-in-law! Hey, I hate it! ”
"No way, this is the way of the world." Harueda also sighed softly.
Actually, isn't it the same thing that happened to her? Obviously, long before separating from Chai Dong, she already had enough ability to support herself. However, those people just think that a woman must marry a man to do it, and a woman without a man just can't! Then, try every means to find a man for her, either force her to remarry, or let her reconcile with Chai Dong.
She just wanted to live the rest of her life quietly alone, which has become a luxury.
"However, in the future, when the morning girl grows up, I will definitely not rush her. She can marry whenever she wants, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to marry, I can support her for the rest of her life anyway! Harukeda whispered.
"Hmm!" Chunya also nodded vigorously, "I think so too." My daughter, she can do whatever she wants. I won't impose on her what I have suffered! ”
Harueda nodded with a smile. "That's it."
The sisters complained together, and Chunya felt much more comfortable.
And she got back to business. "Now, that trading house is clearly not enough. Now in order to come and grab a place, people run over in the middle of the night to line up. You know the weather in Liangzhou, even if it's summer, it's hot during the day, and you have to wrap yourself in a quilt at night. The people stood outside in the middle of the night, sick and tired, but they were afraid that the little money they earned from selling cloth would not be enough to catch medicine! So Chunyu wanted to discuss with the prince whether to find a bigger place and open another trading yard. ”
"Well, I've already discussed this matter with Princess Liang. It just so happened that it was going to be winter again, and the road was icy, and it was difficult for cars and horses to travel, so there were fewer merchants who came to buy cloth. Taking advantage of this opportunity, let's find another place to build a bigger and better trading house. Harueda nodded, "Originally, this trading institute was built at the beginning, and we just wanted to deal with it temporarily. But we didn't expect this business to become so prosperous in a short period of time, we didn't expect it. ”
However, it also proves that they made the right choice in the first place.
The success of the trading institute greatly boosted the morale of Chunzhi and his party. They will surely continue to work hard to take this business to the next level.
Therefore, when the weather cooled down and there were fewer and fewer merchants who came to buy cloth, King Liang ordered someone to issue another notice.
When the common people saw this notice, everyone had no resistance and suspicion at all, but happily ran to tell each other - "His Royal Highness King Liang and the princess of the northern kingdom have decided to teach us the method of raising silkworms in the four seasons!" One person can learn for only a hundred copper coins! Bao Jiao Bao Hui! ”
That's right, the next step of the Spring Branch Project is to promote the four-season silkworm farming method to the people.
After all, now, most of the people only raise two seasons of silkworms, and then rely on a few acres of cotton planted at home to reel silk and then weave cloth for sale. In the past, when they sold cloth, the market price was not uniform, and they couldn't sell it for a few dollars at all. However, this year, with the establishment of the trading house, their cloth has a stable sales channel and the price has also stabilized. So in just three or four months, they made a small amount of money.
And if you want to raise silkworms in all seasons, you must invest a certain amount of money in advance. Therefore, they first let the people earn enough money in the exchange to raise silkworms against the season for the first time, and then taught them how to do it. In this way, the people gritted their teeth and were able to persevere. After there is still a lot of money to be deducted, they will naturally take the initiative to continue, and they don't need to urge them anymore.
Sure enough, after the notice was issued, the first batch of 100 places who wanted to learn the four seasons of silkworm raising were collected within one day.
After these hundred, there are still three or four hundred people in line. Chunyu said that after teaching these 100 people, they will immediately come to teach them, and they will definitely teach them all before the spring of next year, and everyone will be relieved.
As a result, they didn't have much rest this winter. Even the New Year came and went every day, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, a group of people gathered together to eat, and then quickly went home and fell asleep.
In the second half of this year, Liangzhou is really prosperous. Such a lively scene naturally can't be hidden, and the emperors in the capital know about it.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, King Qin also took the initiative to mention the matter to the emperor. The emperor looked at Chai Dong with a smile: "Chai Qing, as the imperial history of the Northwest Road, have you also heard about this?" ”
"Back to the emperor, Weichen has already heard about it." Chai Dong bowed his head.
"Oh? In that case, why didn't you say anything to me? ”
"Emperor Qi, Weichen, as the imperial history, is only in charge of officials' adultery, corruption and bribery. If His Royal Highness King Liang is in Liangzhou to be powerful and prosperous, and to fish and flesh the people, Weichen will naturally inform you. However, His Royal Highness King Liang is not like this, so what does Weichen have to report? Chai Dong had a cold face and replied seriously.
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
"Chai Aiqing, you are such a wonderful person! I almost died laughing at your words! ”
When the queen and concubine and others heard this, everyone also laughed. Concubine Shu smiled even more: "Little brother, you are really." Although you are the imperial historian, it is right to be jealous and hateful, but since King Liang has done so many good things in Liangzhou, you can also talk to the emperor! Otherwise, everyone will think that you are a person who reports bad news but not good news! ”
"Wechen only does what he is responsible for. Outside of duty, someone will come to inform the emperor. For example, now, won't His Royal Highness King Qin tell the emperor the good news? Chai Dong responded slowly.
King Qin immediately held his head high, and quietly sent an approving look to Chai Dong.
The emperor also bowed his head. Chai Qing said yes. Now, my sons are really out of the woods one by one. Especially King Liang, he really surprised me! ”
As he spoke, he turned to Concubine Shu's side again. "Aifei, this son you gave birth to me is really good! I must reward him! And you, you want to be rewarded! ”
"The concubine thanked the emperor on behalf of King Liang." Concubine Shu hurriedly got up and saluted.
The Emperor suddenly smiled more and more happily.
"Emperor." When he had laughed enough, the Queen Mother, who had been silent, finally spoke slowly, "The current lively mourners in Liangzhou have also heard of it. However, this should be more than just the credit of King Liang alone, right? The northern kingdom also has a lot to contribute to this, don't you plan to reward her? ”
"This ...... Of course, you have to reward everything, and you will reward everything! The emperor laughed dryly, but secretly cursed in his heart-
How can this northern country be so ghostly? And...... Why is she still getting better and better? It was really depressing for him.
