Liang Zhangzhu pondered for a long time, and said solemnly: "Young lady, this matter is very important, I want to go back to discuss our master." ”

Gu Xiyan understood very well, everyone said a few more kind words, and then Gu Xiyan served tea and sent the guests away.

Liang Zhangzhu came out of the pear orchard and met Han who was about to go to the pear orchard.

During the period when the Gong family was under house arrest, Han has always taken good care of her, and has not sympathized or despised her because of her status as a criminal, and she has been grateful until today in the panic waiting that does not know the future.

Liang Zhangzhu respectfully bent his knees to salute Han.

After returning the salute, Han smiled and said hello to Liang Zhangzhu, and then entered the main house under the leadership of the maidservant.

When Gu Xiyan heard that the Han family was coming, he personally greeted him.

When Han Shi saw Gu Xiyan, a bright smile appeared on his slightly tired face: "Young lady, are you okay these days?" ”

"It's good to be able to eat and sleep!" Gu Xiyan smiled and pulled Han into the outer room, and the two sat down left and right on the big kang.

The maidservants served tea.

Han smiled: "Are the children still obedient? ”

Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "I'm learning the rules from Aunt Duan." Or. We'll check it out later! ”

Han thought for a moment. Smiled: "Okay! I want to see it too! ”

Because I was introduced to the place. So I'm a little worried!

Gu Xiyan smiled and invited Han to tea: "I'll invite my sister to the land." It's something else! ”

Han nodded: "Please speak!" ”

"I've been talking to the kids when I've had time these days." Gu Xiyan groaned. "Sihong also has two brothers in the family. All in the barracks. From time to time, I came back with some money. Although the days are poor. But you can still go hungry for a meal. Barely get by with a full meal. Momiji, Chunxiu and Peach are three homes. There was only one widow left. Especially peach branches. It's the third. The first two sisters. It's all sold. There are two younger brothers at the bottom. The days are simply unraveling...... Again, this is where we encountered. I think. There are many places that we have not encountered. Compared to them. There must be someone whose fate is even more tragic......"

Han Shi was stunned and stared at Gu Xiyan for a moment. said in a low voice: "What does the young lady mean......"

"So I asked Sister Han to discuss." Gu Xiyan's expression was also unprecedentedly serious, "Chai Duomi doesn't have many days, even if we help, our strength is limited." I think it's better to teach the fish than to the fish, we might as well help these orphans and widows find something to do! ”

Han sat precariously, with a rare condensation in his expression: "If the young lady has anything to do with me, I will definitely do my best." ”

Gu Xiyan nodded slightly: "I asked someone to buy a batch of cotton cloth a year ago, sent some of it to your house, and kept some of it." I'm going to make spring shirts for the children and send them to the ground. There are seven or eight people in my house, as well as the grandmothers in the house, and the people in Liu Meier's house. There were more than 20 people in total, and after sewing for almost a month, they only sewed more than 60 pieces...... I thought it was too slow, so I thought about finding a needlework to do it. ”

Han Shi shouted "Young Lady" in some surprise.

"I suddenly had an idea." Gu Xiyan smiled and said, "The Yanguo Mansion has to make so many military robes every year, why don't we organize these women who need to live on meager rewards because their husbands died in battle." Set up a needlework team to specialize in business ...... the army"

Han Shi frowned and said, "I thought about it before, but I'm afraid that I will miss a major event in the army because of this." ”

Gu Xiyan smiled: "I know your worries. I'm afraid that the things we make are not as good as others, and the price is more expensive than his, so it is better to take more silver and two reliefs......"

I didn't expect to understand this!

Han looked at Gu Xiyan in some surprise.

"Naturally, there is no absolute fairness in this world, and since I am in the lead, it must be a little cheap." Gu Xiyan looked at Han's surprised expression, covered his mouth and smiled. "This time, the Yan army wants to use the Liu family's stepping cloth to make military robes. Now everyone has sent samples and quoted prices. I thought it would be better to let the merchants who wanted to do this business make a bid. The lowest price wins. Let's go to the bidding too! ”

Han hesitated: "But who should come forward in this matter?" How much does it cost to qualify......"

"That's why I asked my sister to discuss." Gu Xiyan smiled, "Look, how about the twelve young grandmothers of the Liu family?" Han Shen groaned: "She was born in a businessman, followed her husband to the north and south, and has a lot of knowledge. If you can invite her out, it will be good. It's just that she still has her own cloth village...... I'm afraid it's a little difficult......"

"As long as my sister thinks it's good!" Gu Xiyan said with a smile: "Then let's just say it, ask the ten young grandmothers of the Liu family to come forward and bid when the time comes!" ”

Han Shi pondered for a moment and said, "What does the young lady need me to do!" "The look is extremely serious.

"I have two things I want to ask my sister!" Gu Xiyan also restrained her smile: "First, I want my sister to help me determine which people need to work like this!" ”

"I see!" Han nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady, I will definitely handle this matter well." ”

"As for the second thing, I want my sister to invite the twelve young grandmothers of the Liu family to be the second guest."

Liang Zhangzhu hurriedly walked out of the Yanguo Mansion and returned to her home in Yongzhou City in Shitan Hutong in the east of the city, and the personal maid hurriedly fetched water to freshen her up. She wiped her face indiscriminately and said, "Is the Twelfth Master back?" ”

During this time, because the Yanguo Mansion wanted to use tread cloth to make military robes for soldiers, several powerful needlework teams in Yongzhou City invited Liu Youcheng to eat wine and talk about business.

The maidservant smiled: "The master has not come back yet!" As he spoke, he served Liang Zhangzhu a cup of hot tea.

The climate of Yandi is too cold for Liang Zhangzhu, who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River.

She took a sip of hot tea and felt that people were much more comfortable, so she instructed the people around her: "Hurry, go and call the master back." There is an urgent matter to discuss! ”

"What's the matter, so anxious to find me!" As soon as Liang Zhangzhu's words fell, Liu Youcheng opened the curtain and entered.

His face was slightly red, and he still smelled of smoky wine.

Liang Zhangzhu hurriedly supported the people around him to go out, and got up to fetch water for Liu Youcheng to wash his face.

Liu Youcheng wiped his face with a hot towel and said with a smile: "You are in such a hurry to find me...... But what errand did the Yanguo Mansion hand in! ”

To be honest, I have been doing business in Yandi in the past few years. Overall, it was a pleasant thing. In addition to the annual taxes to be paid on the surface and the money fixed for filial piety under the books every year. is not like exploiting everywhere in Xizhao, which makes Liu Youcheng have a very good impression of Yandi, and he even has a feeling that he took the risk of coming to Yongzhou to catch the line of Qi Hao, which may be the biggest and most lucrative transaction in his life.

"The young lady wants to do a cloth business with us!" Liang Zhangzhu said briefly.

Liu Youcheng was also stunned.

"Have you asked clearly, does the young lady want to do this business with us, or does the Qi family want to do this business with us!"

Liang Zhangzhu smiled bitterly: "What's the difference. Anyway, it's a silver scavenger from our business. I didn't handle the specific business, so I didn't dare to agree to the young lady at that time...... You should hurry up and let a few account rooms settle the accounts, and see how much profit can be evened out, and we have a spectrum in our hearts. ”

Liu Youcheng nodded and said, "I'll call the account room to settle accounts...... You pack up, we'll go to the Yanguo Mansion again. ”

When the Liu couple came together, Gu Xiyan was walking in the forest between Dexin Courtyard and Xianji Courtyard in her "daily trip", and she was stunned when she heard the apricot rain coming. I didn't expect the Liu family to attach so much importance to this matter, and both husband and wife came.

Could it be some misunderstanding? Think she's trying to find a way to get silver?

Gu Xiyan muttered in her heart and went back to Songzhen Courtyard. In the warm pavilion of the pear orchard, the Liu couple were entertained.

Liu Youcheng and his wife sat in front of the screen and talked to Gu Xiyan.

"Young lady, what do you mean, Humble Jing has already told me." Liu Youcheng smiled, "I listened to it, and I also thought about it for my wife." Our stepping cloth is five pennies a horse. A horse can make two sets of clothes for a seven-foot man, and now the land price of Yanguo Mansion is ten yuan per set of winter clothes, and seven yuan per set of spring and autumn shirts...... In my opinion, if the young lady wants to do business, it is better not to choose one. Speaking of which, our Liu family is now in the timber business with the Yao family in Gaochang. Ironwood of Gaochang. It is the best material for making boat boards. From Gaochang to Xizhao, one in and one out. The principal is only 1,000 taels, but the profit will be tripled......"

Behind the screen, there was a gentle sound of porcelain clattering.

Liu Youcheng knew that this was the sound of putting the tea cup, so he paused slightly and looked at the reaction inside.

Sure enough, a sweet female voice came from behind the screen: "Master Liu's account is really fine." You might as well help me calculate how much profit I can make in a year if I want to do this needlework business. ”

Liu Youcheng obviously came prepared, and said: "Judging from the current needs of the few companies in contact with me, it is estimated that there is also a profit of four or five thousand taels of silver a year. However, this kind of business has never been done in just one place, only for one family...... Fear, someone deduced the number of sergeants from this......"

If it is really as Liu Youcheng said, earning four or five thousand taels of silver a year is also a very considerable income!

It seems that it is too simple to think about it yourself...... I am afraid that this matter will eventually need Qi Maosheng's support......

Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan was even more determined to win Liang Zhangzhu over.

"It's too simple for me to think about it. Listening to what Master Liu said, it is really better than reading for ten years. Gu Xiyan smiled, "Regarding Master Liu's proposal, I'll think about it again......

That's it, that's it.

Liu Youcheng got up and said respectfully: "Since this is the case, then I will leave with Humble Jing first." If the lady has any other instructions, just go to the stone altar alley and say it. ”

Gu Xiyan didn't mean to end the conversation immediately, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, there is really something that needs the help of the young grandmother?" ”

"Me?" Liang Zhangzhu was a little surprised, and exchanged a look with her husband.
