After a hailstorm, the mulberry trees in Jiangnan were almost completely destroyed. As a Jiangnan weaving, Master Cui suddenly fell into an embarrassing and difficult situation, sighing all day long. This catastrophe cannot be hidden, and this year's silk production will certainly not keep up with the required amount.

When the saint knew about this, he personally ordered him to be reprimanded, and rewarded Yuan Zhiheng, the governor of Hangzhou, and the special household department allocated some silver money to make up for the previous expenses spent by the yamen of Hangzhou Prefecture for Sannong. And on Lord Cui's side, even Emperor Xu, the mother of the second prince who has always been good to him, didn't give him a good look.

Silk is produced in the south of the Yangtze River, and the amount of silk and silk that is paid to the imperial court every year is amazing. In order to calm the anger of Emperor Xu, who assisted in the affairs of the Six Palaces, Lord Cui ordered the silk merchants to forcibly expropriate this year's new silk.

Originally, because the mulberry tree was destroyed, the silkworm starved to death, and new silk was rare, seeing that this year's silk merchant was about to fold the capital, Lord Cui did this, which was undoubtedly worse for them.

But the people have never been able to fight the officials, and the silk was still forcibly confiscated. Lord Cui has won the favor of Emperor Xu's concubine, but the businessmen below are complaining.

Yuan Zhiheng, who is the official of Hangzhou Mansion, looked at what Master Cui did coldly, and knew in his heart that it was an eventful time in the eunuch field, and maybe when the sky would change.

Qin Ruofu, who was born in Jiangnan, was even more indignant, not only sent a letter to Yuan Zhiheng, but also sent a letter to his father, the governor of the Jiangnan River, who was dissatisfied with the words of his father, who was afraid of the power of the second prince, and refused to listen to Yuan Zhiheng's advice to fight with Lord Cui to the end.

Yuan Zhiheng knew that the situation in the capital in the past two years was even worse than that in Jiangnan, and what several righteous brothers saw and felt was even more difficult, but he still wrote to them one by one, so that they could not breathe.

At this time, you must not be such an impulsive and blind bird, they have six brothers, and now four are officials.

The eldest brother Li Sang is a scholar in the Ministry of Officials, the third brother is his eldest brother Gui Bonian is the county guard of Xuzhou, and the fifth brother Qin Ruofu is promoted by the Ministry of Households, while he is the prefect of Hangzhou when he returns to Bonian.

In the long run, the four of them all have such a bright future, but at the moment, they can only be regarded as unknown, and if they try to shake the tree, they will undoubtedly have no way out.

Moreover, the other two will participate in the Spring Festival next year, and Yuan Zhiheng specially told them not to be distracted and concentrate on the scientific examination.

At the same time as exchanging letters with the righteous brothers, Yuan Zhiheng ordered to go down and ask the guards of the prefecture and the guards of the counties and counties to strictly guard the law and order in the following year. Now the mulberry trees in his Hangzhou territory have become the only one in demand, and his silk merchants can make a lot of money from it.

This will inevitably attract the attention of other red-eyed foreign merchants or small squirters, and it is also very important to strengthen law and order.

Yuan Zhiheng specially asked Dian Cui to take him to the twenty big houses rented by their family on the outskirts of the city this day, and Dian Cui opened the door with a smile, and the neat and full of raw silk only made Yuan Zhiheng smack.

"You man, I didn't teach you if your wealth doesn't leak out?" Yuan Zhiheng scratched the bridge of his little nose that was wrinkled by Lehe, and snorted.

"Don't worry, I got Du Xiaozhu, Li Qingshan, and Shopkeeper Liu here to guard them, there are our people inside and out, and others can't see them." Diancui looked at the room after room of raw silk, as if looking at a pair of big ingots, and suddenly said seriously: "If Xianggong is really not at ease, it's good to send me two catches to watch." ”

"It's beautiful to think," Yuan Zhiheng was funny and angry, this arrester is an official who arrested the prisoner, where can he call to show you the cangmen, but it is possible to ask a few officials who have been at home for the past few days to discuss.

"Great, I'll pay them fifty dollars a day!" Dian Cui clapped his hands and laughed.

At this time, the two officials who followed behind Yuan Zhiheng had bright expressions, and Mao Sui recommended himself to step forward and bowed and said, "Madam, the two of us are just resting tomorrow, and the original lady will serve." ”

"Okay, both of you will come tomorrow, in addition to getting paid, you also have a meal, rest assured, the meat is enough." Diancui is in a very good mood.

The two officials were not very old, and after listening to some Cui's words, they scratched their heads with a shy smile, and Madame still remembered that the two of them were the most hungry for meat.

Yuan Zhiheng laughed and said, "Madam is really wealthy, I want to come and show you the warehouse when I hear such a good thing." ”

The couple returned hand in hand, passing by a large mulberry field on the outskirts of the city, where the tenants of the mulberry farmers were rolling up protective sheds. The couple looked at each other and smiled, they are now only one of their parents, and they only care about the safety of this side.

"That's our prefect and his wife!" When the mulberry households in the field saw Yuan Zhiheng and his wife, they put down their work and surrounded them.

"Thank you to the prefect for planning for us, so that we can avoid the harm of hail!" One by one, the crowd knelt down.

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, thank you, Lord Prefect!" The mulberries shouted in unison.

Diancui tilted his head slightly, and looked at his face as usual with a smile, but his ears had already looked at the reddened adults, and he only felt that his mind was surging with joy following the shouts of the mulberry households.

Yuan Zhiheng is a person, even if he is down-and-out when he is young, he is the most arrogant and uninhibited, and he is often decisive and ruthless when he is an official, and he can use all means to disobey those who are disobedient, and he can also take a tough action against the powerful family regardless of life and death, and try every means to disintegrate their forces and attack their arrogance.

Because of his experience as a teenager, he has a kind of disgusting hatred for his hometown and even the people in his hometown. But at this time, he is being admired and heartily thanked by the people. This made him really uncomfortable, and he only nodded at everyone in a majestic manner. Don't forget to take the hand of the starting point and walk quickly.

Diancui followed him, pursed his lips, and motioned to the Sanghu with his other hand, while keeping saying Hurry up, get up.

Everywhere the two of them went, they were treated so ceremoniously and warmly, Yuan Zhiheng summoned the carriage and led Diancui to the car. 186 Chinese Network

"Ridiculous enough?" Yuan Zhiheng said softly helplessly.

Diancui covered her mouth, her eyes full of smiles.

"Don't laugh."

"Okay, don't laugh." Diancui smiled obediently, and when she walked halfway, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Still laughing, is it so funny?"

"Xianggong is shy?" Dian Cui grinned and said: "Xianggong is shy for the gratitude and gratitude of the people, but Fang Cai has been holding my hand in front of so many people, and he is not afraid of everyone's jokes." ”

"You are the lady I am marrying, I hold your hand, what is there to be ashamed of. Who dares to laugh at others, huh? Yuan Zhiheng raised an eyebrow, and avoided the heavy and said lightly.

Dian Cui didn't continue to laugh at him, knowing that her father-in-law's temperament had its awkwardness.

Half a month later.

Whether it is raw silk or silk satin from the silk village, the price has begun to soar at nearly 10% per day. Seeing that the price has quadrupled, Shopkeeper Liu and Miaozhu have been like chicken blood, shuttling with the major silk Zhuangzi every day, watching the silk being coaxed with higher and higher prices, and even dreaming can wake up with a smile.

"Madam, do we want to sell so much raw silk in our family or make it into silk and sell it again?" Xin'er couldn't hold her breath the most, and couldn't help but ask some Cui.

"Madam, there are already a lot of people asking about these raw silks." Even Dongxue couldn't help but raise her voice, silk was too scarce, and some merchants from the silk village dragged people to inquire about her here.

"Master, the big weaving and dyeing workshops you asked me to contact before have all taken the initiative to come to the door. The price is much lower than before. Miaozhu said happily, before those big workshop owners saw that she was a foreigner, but they didn't care much, who knew that now the silk is in demand, and the business of their workshop is even more bleak. The raw silk owned by the lady was big business for them.

Facing the raw silk of the twenty barns, Diancui has been very calm.

"The price of weaving and dyeing is fifty percent in the past, and it can be woven and dyed." After Miaozhu repeatedly said that the workshop owners had interceded again, Diancui finally relented.

"Okay!" Miaozhu also thinks that fifty percent is the most suitable.

"Master, this raw silk weaving and dyeing is a big deal, in order to ensure that the best satin is woven and dyed, can you ask someone who understands to follow." For the sake of safety, Miaozhu proposed.

After thinking for a while, he said You go to find that Li Sheng in Taihu Lake and work with him.

"Yes! Master. "The master is kind to that Li Sheng, he is a small person who deals with silk, and it is foolproof for him to follow.

Hearing that Madame's raw silk had finally begun to be dyed and woven, the big silk Zhuangzi in the outer state capital had sent people to negotiate this big deal with Madame, but they were all blocked by Shopkeeper Liu and Miaozhu.

Mrs. intends to open a silk village in Hangzhou Fucheng, which they know, but the amount of silk is really huge, and it is not impossible to cooperate with other Zhuangzi, but Mrs. did not speak, that is, the time has not come.

Diancui did things gently, but the matter of opening a shop was done vigorously, and when the first batch of raw silk weaving and dyeing was completed, her silk village also opened.

The silk village was built next to the Angelica Pavilion of her family's head shop, and the willow shopkeeper became the veritable shopkeeper of the silk village, and Miaozhu was the second shopkeeper.

Since the opening of the silk and satin village, even if the price has soared, it is full every day, which shows that this Jiangnan is really rich. The clothes of large families are less than silk and satin, and some people buy them at a high price.

Diancui picked a few horses with the best color and sent them to the return home of the capital, the rich and generous ones for grandmothers and mothers, the elegant and fresh ones for sisters-in-law, the lively and bright ones for nieces and younger brothers, the cyan ones for father and second brother, and selected a few silver-white horses to send to the eldest brother in Xuzhou. As for the righteous brothers and junior brothers, Gu Guangyao and Diancui also gave their favorite colors.

Yuan Zhiheng entered the house from the outside, and watched Dian Cui carefully select the silk silk with his head down, and carefully wrapped it. Among these silks, there is a luxurious purple with dark lines, which is very eye-catching, and it should be very eye-catching to Yuan Zhiheng's eyes......

"This purple silk is too gaudy and ugly." Yuan Ziheng pretended to say casually: "There are still people who like this kind of color." ”

"Oh," Diancui's hand kept moving, so he lowered his head and wrapped it, and said: "Sixth Brother Yue once told me that there was a purple satin cloak that he liked very much, but unfortunately it was cut when he was fighting with others, and he felt that it was a pity. Today I see that this horse can make him a cloak. ”

"Oh." Yuan Zhiheng nodded, and suddenly felt that this purple color was also very good-looking.

Dian Cui said casually: "The harrier-crowned purple-purple silk for my cousin is here." ”

After finishing speaking, he winked at Yuan Zhiheng, Yuan Zhiheng's footsteps slipped, and he stumbled, but fortunately, he was able to stabilize his body only when he knew martial arts.
