Xia Yu's mother, Zhen, gave birth to two sons. Xia Yu is the eldest brother, and there is a younger brother Xia Ji below. The Xia family originally had some assets, but unfortunately after the death of Xia's father, Xia Yu's mother Zhen did not manage well, and the family gradually declined. The house leak happened to rain overnight, and his younger brother Xia Ji was seriously ill and urgently needed money. sold the old house and changed to a cottage and still couldn't make ends meet, Xia Yu was kicked out of the house by his mother, so that he wanted to make money to treat his younger brother, and said that he wouldn't come back if he couldn't make money. Xia Yu was forced to have no choice but to sell herself into slavery.

When Su Shi heard this, his eyes turned red: Poor child!

Bai Tang examined a few of his questions, and saw that he was quite satisfied with the answers, and was about to nod, but Xu San preemptively said, "You are a useful person." It just so happens that my house is also in urgent need of a few stewards. Will you come to my house? ”

Xia Yu was stunned, but he didn't answer, and looked at Bai Tang.

Bai Tang said unhappily: "Why are you robbing people from me?" ”

Xu San glanced at him meaningfully: Xia Yu has clear eyebrows, how unsafe is it to be by your side?

Bai Tang actually understood his eyes in seconds, and couldn't help but look angrily: Am I that kind of person?

Xu San shook his head. You're not that kind of person, but others aren't.

Bai Tang laughed angrily: Do you think everyone is as brazen as you?

Xu San snorted coldly: It doesn't matter what you think. Xia Yu can't stay!

Bai Tang was about to be angry, but Su Shi said firmly: "Xia Yu will follow the third master." We only recruit women in our house. ”

Xu San was happy in his heart: his mother-in-law was still wise!

Xia Yu immediately bowed to Xu San and said, "I've seen the third master!" ”

Xu San nodded, helped the Su family pick five extremely ordinary-looking women, and said beautifully: "It's useless for a slave to be beautiful. Like them, they are faithful and appeased. ”

Su Shi also responded to him vigorously: "Qiu An is right! ”

Bai Tang almost vomited blood: stinky boy! Did you pour ecstasy soup on his wife?

Before Xu San took Xia Yu away, Su secretly stuffed a money bag containing only five taels of silver for him. Xia Yu was stunned, and refused with red eyes. Su Shi sighed: "How much do you get for selling your body?" Coming to my house is also fate. Take it, Joan is a good master. Follow him and have a great future! ”

Xia Yu's expression was moved, and he kowtowed heavily to the Su family.

He handed over the money from the sale and the money bag sent by the Su family to Mrs. Liu. Ask her to pass it on to her mother. Liu Yanpo shook her head and sighed: Poor to see! He's so confused. For the sake of a son who was too sick to be saved, he dragged down his eldest son alive! Fortunately, he found a good family for him. Joining the Wei Mansion is a good errand that many people can't find!

The Duke of Wei Mansion now has a master, and Xu San already has Song wine and Yuan Qu to wait, and he is a trouble-free one. So directly let Xia Yu go to the second brother's yard to be a steward. Anyway, the second brother hasn't gone to Beijing with the army, and even if he comes, he won't live in Fuzhong permanently. Let Xia Yu guard an empty courtyard and try his patience and character first.

As for Baitang, after the freshness of the first arrival in Beijing, he began to get busy. The new store opened, and the flower paper, silk cloth, sprinkled gold paper, as well as the New Year's desk calendar, and the lanterns of the Lantern Festival had to be newly made. I just don't feel enough time. Fortunately, there are many homeless people in the workshop, and they are not expected to do delicate work, and after simple training, calendering and printing paper, boiling silk cloth, etc. can also help somewhat.

With the marketing concept of his previous life, he planned to do some promotional activities when he opened. But the things he had on hand were all gold and expensive goods, and he was reluctant to cut the meat, so after thinking about it, he found the uncle.

"Korean paper?"

"Yes. I have a way of making Korean paper. It's a pity that there are no skilled paper workers on hand. But you have it here! "My grandfather brought almost all the workers and masters in the workshop to Xindu.

Lian Shaorong hesitated: "It's a good idea." But you have already told its raw materials in front of many peers in court before. 'M afraid...... Someone has already copied it, right? ”

Bai Tang shook his head: "Raw materials are one thing. The craft is another matter. Korean paper is not so simple to imitate. If you think about it, the main reason why Korean paper is so expensive is that it comes from a long distance and costs a lot. Let's make it ourselves, and the price can be much lower. He lowered his voice. You can also use it to attract customers when you open, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Lian Shaorong shouted: "You come to supervise the work!" ”

Bai Tang rolled up his sleeves and made a big appearance and said, "Wrap it up on me!" ”

Lian Shaorong hesitated for a moment: "This matter, do you want your father to also-"

Bai Tang frowned, and said reluctantly: "For the sake of his dedication to Bai Lan, if he is interested, it is okay to mix it up." ”

Lian Shaorong saw that the relationship between his younger brother and Bai Tang had eased, and he was in a better mood. Said with concern: "When you were in Nanjing, there was no one at hand. I have discussed with your grandfather, and the master in our workshop has brought many disciples, and I have selected a few outstanding ones for you. There are painters and engravers. Don't you know, everyone has broken their heads in order to work in your Songzhu Zhai! ”

Bai Tang was overjoyed, got up and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

What he's worried about now is manpower!

When he came, he took the craftsmanship of Korean paper with him, and when he went, he exchanged it for five young craftsmen. Bai Tang diligently took them to the engraving workshop near the mulberry garden, arranged a bunch of work that day, personally watched them start work, and after some guidance, they left satisfied.

Since I came to the mulberry garden, I have to go to the weaving workshop to see Shen Wenlan.

The weaving workshop is now bustling. Shen Wenlan posted a recruitment notice outside a while ago. Young men between the ages of 10 and 13, both male and female, were recruited to work in the weaving mills.

Bai Tang nodded, it should be so. Instead of recruiting experienced women to re-teach, it is better to recruit young boys and girls to train from scratch. With Shen Wenlan here, I am not afraid that they will not be a teacher.

So the outside of the weaving mill was full of people.

Quan Hong made a register of names, while looking at the young man who was sent: "Auntie, your girl is thirteen?" I think there's fifteen, right? ”

The aunt laughed and said, "Fifteen, it's not a few years old!" ”

Quan Hong exhaled and explained: "She is fifteen this year, and she will get married in two years, right?" When she gets married, gets pregnant, and gives birth to two in three years, can she still be allowed to come out to work? ”

The eldest aunt still wanted to fight for it, but she had already let the people behind squeeze to the side: "Aunt Fang, don't delay everyone's time!" Don't you have a son who is just ten years old? Why don't you send it? ”

The aunt's face changed: "How can my son do the work of a woman?" After speaking, he pulled the girl and walked away angrily.

Jeon Hong shook his head. The job notice had been posted for three days, and he had hardly seen the boy, so thinking like this, there was a little boy in clean clothes standing in front of him.

"Yo. Li family, why did you send your youngest son? ”

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Recruitment!" ”

Quan Hong was surprised and asked, "Don't you dislike the work of women in our weaving workshop?" ”

Aunt Li has a pair of clear eyes, and there is a small tear mole in the corner of her eye, and the charm is still there.

"Who said the weaving mill was all women's work?" Aunt Li said with a smile, "If Weaver Niang wants to go to work, she also has to have someone to serve the food and clean up." Patrols and inspections should also be arranged. Even if he learns to weave, what is wrong with his son learning these skills? "You can teach your daughter in the future, right? There is another sentence that she didn't say: With such a large weaving workshop, there will always be someone in charge in the future, right?

Quan Hong's eyes lit up as he looked at the woman: "Okay! Your son took it! Go in and let us take the exam! ”

Shen Wenlan is the interviewer. Senior technical and senior management.

He was accustomed to the strictest rules in the Suzhou Weaving Bureau, and knew all kinds of personnel well. The girls who were accepted were carefully screened and then assigned to suitable positions, which was a trivial matter for him.

Bai Tang was very relieved to leave.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers and horses rushed into the mulberry garden and shouted: "The government investigates the case!" Everyone is waiting for orders! Don't leave without permission! Waiting for the question of Lord Chino! ”

A man in black leather armor urged his horse out, stopped beside Bai Tang, looked at him with a cold gaze and said, "Cai Baihu was killed last night, and Ben Qianhu tracked down the murderer. If there is any negligence, please forgive me! ”
