Hearing this, Bai Qianning speculated a little more about her thoughts in her heart, and said with a light smile: "It can be seen that Sister Shuzhen likes this loom very much, but even if you buy a machine in this mere area, it can only be worth dozens of workers, so you can't let Sister Shuzhen pay such a big price, right?" ”

Xie Shuzhen saw Bai Qianning ask like this, and understood that her thoughts could not be hidden from her, and then she was kind to herself, so she should not hide it from her, so she said: "Madam, I can't hide it, although there is only one baby, but I see that he is surrounded by an iron lump, I know a very powerful blacksmith, if I can buy this treasure, maybe I can let him help me make exactly the same, and then hundreds of machines will run together, and most of the cloth business in this country can be taken over." ”

"Sister Shuzhen is worthy of being a businessman." Bai Qianning tugged at the corners of her lips, beckoned Xie Shuzhen to sit on the chair, and sat down herself before she said slowly: "It's just that Sister Shuzhen has thought about a question, the fabric is just made of cotton and linen silk, and the cotton required for a piece of cloth can only be bought for a few dollars of silver, and the top-grade silk is only one or two taels of silver, but why can it be sold for ten times or even dozens of times or hundreds of times the price when it is woven into cloth?" ”

"A good piece of cloth has to be woven by one person for more than a month, and each piece of cloth is the effort of a craftsman, so it is naturally more expensive."

"So what? If these hundreds of looms are operating, the amount of cloth is up, and the price will be greatly discounted. If they have worked hard to weave cloth for a month but cannot sell it for a price, these people will not be able to live their lives anymore. ”

After Bai Qianning's reminder, Xie Shuzhen reacted suddenly, and hurriedly said: "It's because I didn't think about it, I just thought that this would be a good way to make money, but I didn't think about what to do with those weavers who have been supplying us with cloth for a long time." Or is Mrs. Cheng thoughtful, but this machine is so magical, but she can't use it, isn't this a waste of such a good thing? ”

Hearing this, Bai Qianning said again: "I have been with Sister Shuzhen these days, and I understand Sister Shuzhen's heart, you are a person who has lived a hard life, and you are unwilling to let so many people lose their livelihood because of the appearance of this machine." However, I remind you that this point is not to provide this machine as an ornament, but to find a problem and we will solve it, and think about the next road, so that the current step can be smooth. Besides, as you just said, there is something wrong with finding someone to copy this machine, Sister Shuzhen, you can think of copying, why can't others? At that time, if other people learn it, and the streets will be full of this machine, I am afraid that the cloth will be even less valuable, let alone the workers who weave cloth, and even Sister Shuzhen will not be able to earn money. ”

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Cheng reminded me, then this loom ......"

"We can use this loom, but the problems I just mentioned have to be avoided. Sister Shuzhen, you have been an embroiderer for so many years, and you also have a large number of excellent female workers under your hands, plus this machine, maybe we can do something bigger. I came to you today to discuss this matter, we cooperate, you contribute technology and manpower, I contribute funds and machines, we open a cloth workshop together, and do business all over the country. ”

"Mrs. Cheng means to take me to do a fabric business?" Xie Shuzhen was overjoyed, she only bought this machine and could earn a lot of money with this, but she never thought that she could cooperate with the Cheng family. You must know that the financial resources shown by the Cheng family are not a small amount she can imagine, and if she can do business with them, she can really make Xiufang's clothes all over the entire Ye country.

Bai Qianning carefully observed Xie Shuzhen's expression, and saw that the joy on her face was not adulterated, so she continued: "I have discussed with my father-in-law, and I plan to open a chain of cloth workshops, and the meaning of the chain is just like the Jishitang and Drunken Immortal Residences you see in Chechi County now, and they are operated with the same model, so that they can become bigger and bigger." At that time, we will divide the silver into fifty-fifty, and I have thought of the name of this cloth workshop, which is called 'Red Sleeves and Fragrance'. ”

"Red sleeves add fragrance! That's a good name. Xie Shuzhen interjected, and her excited expression had jumped forward.

Seeing her eagerness, Bai Qianning continued: "Well, and we have to make more than clothes, but also sofas and curtains that rich and noble people like today, but we do everything that uses fabrics." There are a lot of things to do on the fair day between me and my family, and the manager of this 'red sleeves and fragrance' is not Sister Shuzhen. If you agree, I will send a few more deputies to you, and you don't have to work too hard and hurt your body. ”

"I promise, how could I not agree to such a good thing" Xie Shuzhen hurriedly nodded as if she was afraid that Bai Qianning would regret it, and asked: It's just that how to solve the problems you said just now? ”

"This is not in a hurry, as long as Sister Shuzhen agrees to this matter now, the rest of the thing to do is to take care of her body first, and as for the things that need to be prepared, I will order someone to do it."

"Oh, good, done!" Xie Shuzhen immediately readily agreed.

......

The next afternoon

Bai Qianning took the two children of the Lin family and Xiaodouding out of the space, and the three children sat in the courtyard with a sugar gourd and listened to Bai Qianning tell stories.

Zhan Qianche is fine today, sitting next to Bai Qianning peeling the newly bought oranges, all saying sour and spicy girls, Bai Qianning really thinks that this old saying is a bit accurate, although she is not happy recently, she still loves to eat sour.

The key is that the tangerines grown with the seeds in the space are too sweet and not match her taste at all, so at the moment, these oranges are all picked by Zhan Qianche who went to the market, which one is sour to buy. It is said that the descendants of the Cheng family came out to buy sour oranges, and the discerning people knew that Mrs. Cheng was happy at a glance, so before the person who bought the oranges returned home, this matter had already spread in the community.

Listening to Mu Yan's report, Zhan Qianche just waved his hand, handed a petal of orange and fed it to Bai Qianning's mouth and said: "That's just right, tell me to go down, Mrs. Cheng needs to quietly raise the fetus, and all the idle people should not be disturbed, especially those who were close to Zheng Huaiqi in the past, watch carefully, and be sure not to let the people sent from the palace get close to Qianning." ”

"Yes!" Mu Yan responded and took the order to leave.

Bai Qianning saw that he was so grassy and woody, put down the book, motioned for the children to play by themselves, and then stuffed the sour orange in his hand into Zhan Qianche's mouth, pouted, and said, "I don't know if you are for the safety of me and the child or if you deliberately imprisoned me?" Ever since I got married, I've been detained in the house every day, and I'm dying of boredom. ”

Tasting the sour orange in his mouth and listening to Bai Qianning's pitiful complaints, Zhan Qianche also felt a little distressed, but he was helpless, so he could only patiently comfort: "Good, I'll let people stay outside at night, can I accompany you to walk around the space?" Go to places you haven't been to yet. ”

"Hmm~~ Okay." Bai Qianning wasn't really angry, thinking of the large area of the world in the space that he hadn't been to, he secretly looked forward to it. I haven't had a chance to take a good look before, but now that Zhan Qianche is with him, it's time to explore the secrets of the space, and maybe I can find something as magical as Qichang.

As the two were saying this, Agarwood came in to report that Lin Dashan, Sister-in-law Lin and Chen Tieniu were here.

Lin Dashan and Lin Sister-in-law were invited by Bai Qianning at the order of Forsythia, the purpose was to discuss the opening of the 'Red Sleeves and Fragrance' cloth workshop, but they didn't expect Chen Tieniu to come together, still holding a wooden box in his hand.

Seeing Zhan Qianche, the three of them saluted politely, after all, for them, the person in front of them was Cheng Ji, a well-known rich son, not the Orion Wang Qi they knew before.

The two children of the Lin family smiled happily when they saw their parents, and Lin Dashan and Lin Sister-in-law were also a little excited because they hadn't seen the children for several days, and they picked up the children one by one.

Bai Qianning looked at this scene, and felt that the decision he had secretly made was correct.

After they entered the main hall, Bai Qianning said to Lin Dashan: "Do you remember the mansion I bought earlier?" After that, your family of four will move there. lest the two children not see their parents all day long, and they also want to panic. And it's been a long time, and you two won't be so busy all the time.
