"Uncle Qiao! I won't say it before, it's been very hard for you to follow me to the Lin family in the past few years, and you also want to give me the opportunity to reward you and the guys below and the Weaver Girl, right? I'm willing to give you something in return, what's wrong, just think it's okay if I give you the pension money in advance? ”

Uncle Qiao looked at Jia Min in embarrassment, hesitated and knelt down in front of Jia Min and said: "If Mrs. really wants to reward the slaves, just take out one percent of the profit to share with the slaves, this is already a lot, according to the momentum of our silk village, it is easy to make a net profit of more than 100,000 taels of silver a year, and one percent of the profit is more than 10,000 taels of silver, which owner will be so generous!" ”

"Uncle Qiao, what are you doing, hurry up and talk!" Jia Min also stood up from his seat and said.

"If the wife doesn't agree, the old slave won't get up!" Uncle Qiao simply lay on the ground, his forehead touching the ground.

"Hey! Let me say what well! I don't want any money for this, Uncle Qiao, you're really stupid! Okay, I'll do it! You can't go back in the future! ”

"No remorse! No remorse! The old slave can get so much more silver every year, and he is already going to steal the fun! Uncle Qiao stood up with a grin.

Jia Min smiled at Uncle Qiao with his finger and sighed, giving a look to the green calyx beside him, and the green calyx took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Uncle Qiao.

"This is the recipe for the dye, Uncle Qiao is going to put it away!"

"Mrs. rest assured, the old slave is in the formula, and the old slave will never let the formula leak!"

"It's not that serious, if it's really targeted and threatens Uncle Qiao's life, you still have to save your life first. If you're gone, who's going to help me make money! Jia Min laughed.

"Don't worry, madam! The old slave must earn more money for his wife! Uncle Qiao also smiled.

……

By the end of April, Jia Min's dowry Zhuangzi and shops in the Jiangnan area had successively sent the previous year's interest and profits. Counting the interest and profit sent by the capital at the end of last year, Jia Min earned more than 60,000 taels of silver this year, and all the Zhuangzi planted crops according to the recipe given by Lin Ruhai, and the Zhuangzi with mountains and forests also planted mulberry and silkworms, providing good silk for Xiangyun Silk Village, and the yield was naturally much higher than in previous years. Several shops Jia Min have changed into grain shops, specially used to sell the grain on her marriage Zhuangzi, different from other grain shops, Jia Min also has Zhuangzi in the capital, and Zhuangzi grows wheat, so Jia Min's shop not only sells rice but also flour, and the quality is the best, so Jia Min's grain shop business is also very good. Li Zifeng in the capital opened up the Jiangnan embroidery village, this year's income is also a lot, now the wives and girls in the capital are very fond of advocating Suzhou double-sided embroidery, orders are more and more, at the beginning of this year, Li Zifeng let Uncle Qiao buy ten embroidery girls in Suzhou and sent them to the capital. The most profitable is her Xiangyun Silk Village, last year has not launched the fabric woven by Qiluo loom, with some unique and novel colors, it has made Xiangyun Silk Village earn a lot. Jia Min feels that in the future, her silk village will really become the largest silk village in Daming, and it will also be the most profitable silk village.

A few days ago, Jia Min received a letter from Jia Jing in Ningguo Mansion. The letter proposed to take the cloud brocade and silk yarn produced in Xiangyun Silk Village as a royal tribute, and within two days, there were officials from the Jiangnan Weaving Yamen who came to the Huijun Lord's Mansion to negotiate with her. Jia Min was very happy to make the cloth of his silk village a royal tribute, but he strictly controlled the amount of tribute, and only attacked two hundred horses of cloud brocade and twenty horses of silk yarn every year, but promised to choose the best and most exquisite tribute. The people of Jiangnan Weaving Yamen also knew that this lord of Hui was very embarrassed in front of the emperor and queen, so they didn't dare to embarrass Jia Min, and Jia Min also signed the contract very happily. Jia Min understands that after Xiangyun Silk Village becomes a royal supplier, business will be even better, and many people will definitely be jealous at that time, and many people will come to her to buy Kyauksha. Therefore, Jia Min and Uncle Qiao have the same caliber, and they say to the outside world that the yarn is very difficult to weave, and the output is very low, and a hundred horses are produced every month, which can accept reservations, but absolutely no special care is given to anyone.

On this day, Wang's mother took Lin Yao to Tinglan Courtyard early in the morning to greet Jia Min, and Jia Min hugged Lin Yao to tease him and call him daddy. It's also strange to say, Lin Yao would have called his mother a long time ago, but Jia Min had taught him for so long and he hadn't called Lin Ruhai's father, which made Lin Ruhai very depressed, and said to Lin Yu with a black face several times: "Son, did you mean it!" Lin Yu's serious little face looked at Lin Ruhai expressionlessly, so that Lin Ruhai couldn't get angry. Every time they saw the father and son looking at each other with calm faces, Jia Min and Lin Lang couldn't help laughing.

"Ma'am! The slave man and the eldest daughter have been healed, and they want to come and kowtow to their wife! Wang's mother said to Jia Min.

"Oh! It's time to meet! Go and call them to come! ”

"Yes!" Mother Wang smiled and saluted and withdrew, and half an hour later, she led a very tall and strong man and two equally stout girls in, and Mother Wang held a milk doll in her arms that was much thinner than Lin Yao.

Several people knelt down together to kowtow to Jia Min, their movements were very stiff, showing how nervous they were. Jia Min smiled and said, "Get up!" ”

"Thank you, ma'am!"

"Look at your complexions, your bodies should be fine!"

"Mrs. Lao remembers that the slave and the eldest daughter are now in good health! It's just that I'm not comfortable at home, can my wife find some work for the slave, the slave promises not to be lazy, and must do it well! Wang Tieniu didn't dare to look up at Jia Min directly, he always lowered his head and clenched his hands into fists.

Jia Min was amused by this simple and honest man, he just met, and he was about to run an errand before he could speak, it can be seen that he is a scheming, no wonder he will be kicked out of the house by his father and brother when he is seriously ill, it must be that he was not treated at home before, and he was used to being oppressed and accustomed.

"I heard that you and the two girls are good at farming, so I just bought a new Zhuangzi, and now there is still a shortage of Zhuangzi, if you are willing, go to Zhuangzi to be the head of the Zhuangzi." It's just that Zhuangzi is in Yangzhou, I'm afraid your family will be separated. There's no urgency about this, you two go back and think about it, just go back and give me a letter! ”

Wang Tieniu glanced at Wang's mother, saw Wang's mother nodded her head, and then grinned and said, "Don't think about it!" The slave is willing to go, but the slave has no other skills, and there is no problem with farming. ”

"It's not as simple as farming to be the head of the village, I will arrange for you to go to the Zhuangzi here in Jinling, follow the Zhuangtou there for a few days, and go to Yangzhou before the summer harvest."
