The heart of the piano, the sword gall, and the spirit of wine have all been transferred at this time.

Due to Fei Yinghuan's perennial absence, the inheritance of these three titles has been broken, and there is no longer fresh blood to add in.

Qin Xin changed back to his original name Fei Cheng and was assigned to Jingxing Academy, where he is currently working as a library assistant. The three major academies belong to the entire Fei family, so they were not recalled by the Lou family.

Jian Gut changed his original name back to Fei Ze and was assigned to work in the warehouse at Goose Lake Wharf.

He changed his name back to Feder and was assigned to work in the Goose Lake Wharf firm.

One after another, a total of seventeen domestic slaves returned, including a large shopkeeper, two second shopkeepers, and a trough chief of a paper mill.

These people, who are either reserve cadres or are already formal cadres, are equivalent to the family industry of the Fei family in Goose Lake, which is slowly being handed over to Fei Yinghuan.

However, Lou chose to give up all of them!

"Dang!"

A teacup slammed into the ground, splitting and flying porcelain pieces.

Fei Yuanjian was so angry that he trembled: "What does she want to do, is she going to break up!" ”

The house slaves did not dare to speak out, for fear of touching the old lady's moldy head.

In addition to being angry, Fei Yuanjian had no choice.

His original plan was just to pick some mistakes casually, punish those Jingxingyuan's exiled slaves, cut off Jingxingyuan's financial supply, and force his daughter-in-law Lou to take the initiative to admit his mistakes.

It's like the emperor, who attacked the ministers of the East Palace and did not distribute supplies to the East Palace, so as to beat the crown prince and the crown princess.

Who would have thought that before Fei Yuanjian made a move, the Lou family would retreat strategically and recall all the house slaves to the house for use.

A punch hit the air, and Fei Yuanjian was so choked that he was about to vomit blood!

The second young master, Fei Yingxi, rushed over when he heard the news, and pretended to be shocked: "Father, I heard that the sister-in-law removed the big shopkeeper of Shang Ming?" ”

Fei Yuanjian was still angry, glared at his son and asked, "What, do you want to take over?" ”

"Don't dare," Fei Yingyu hurriedly denied it, and then sighed again, "Sister-in-law's temperament is too strong, we are all a family, what can't you say?" It has to be so absolute. ”

Fei Yuanjian sneered: "Are you so happy? ”

Fei Yingyu said with a bitter face: "The father wronged the child, the family and talents are prosperous, and the child is too late to be sad, how can he be happy?" ”

"It's good if you don't have it." Fei Yuanjian sat down with a huff.

Fei Yingxi began to take eye medicine: "Sister-in-law, can't my father take the initiative to soften, right?" ”

"Don't think!"

Fei Yuanjian slapped the armrest of the chair angrily, obviously poked in the sore spot by his son.

Fei Yingxi said: "If it is consumed like this according to the child's wishes, it will not be able to hold on to anyone first." The slaves in the yard of the sister-in-law cost a lot of silver to support, and they simply cut off their monthly money. She withdrew all the people, and the income outside was gone, and look at how she can feed so many people! ”

"That's the only way," Fei Yuanjian stroked his beard and said, "Shang Ming has no big shopkeeper, so you can take over." ”

Fei Yingxi said happily: "The child will carry it first, and when the sister-in-law is soft, she will immediately give up the business name." ”

"." Fei Yuanjian had a splitting headache, and there was no fuel-efficient lamp at home.

What's even more troublesome is that among the four sons, only Fei Yinghuan is more angry, and now he is the magistrate of a big county, and the whole family will have to rely on Fei Yinghuan in the future.

It's so stiff, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end, and I'll have to make trouble again when Fei Yinghuan goes home.

The only way is to cut off the financial supply and force Lou to quickly bow his head and admit his mistake!

……

Jingxingyuan, Zhongqin Yuan, all the slaves in the family are assembled.

Fei Li, Ling and his wife, together with their son Fei Chun, were kneeling in the courtyard at this moment and waiting for the fate.

After sitting quietly for a while, Lou finally spoke: "Fei Li." ”

"The little one is here, ma'am, please command." Fei Liao crawled forward on his knees.

Lou said: "You are the eldest young master's scholar, you grew up with the eldest young master, you are called the master servant, but you are actually a brother. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Fei Liao kowtowed repeatedly.

Lou said: "I don't bother to investigate how much silver you are greedy for. I estimated that I took out some of them and distributed them to the brothers and sisters in the hospital, and the matter was completely exposed. How is it? ”

Fei Liao said gratefully: "Madame is merciful. ”

Lou said with a smile: "The chief steward of Jing Xingyuan is still up to you, and you will have to be more restrained in the future." If I catch the handle again, I'm afraid I won't be able to care about the face of the eldest young master. ”

"The little one will not dare to come nonsense again, everything is at the behest of the lady." Fei Liao kowtowed frantically again, knocking his forehead to the point of bleeding.

Lou Shi no longer paid attention to this person and said, "Fei Hong, Fei Fu, Fei Xi, Fei You." ”

Immediately, four people stepped forward, the oldest of whom was almost fifty years old.

Lou Shi smiled and said, "You have followed the eldest young master for many years, and you can all be on your own. In particular, Fei Hong and Fei Fu, one is the shopkeeper of the firm, and the other is the trough chief of the paper mill. Not to mention dividends and external water, the monthly salary is ten taels. Now that I have been summoned back, I have lost all my power and wealth, and I am afraid that I will resent me in my heart, right? ”

"The little ones don't dare." The four of them hurriedly denied it.

Lou said: "I am in Jiujiang, there are hundreds of acres of good land, and there are a few shops, all of which are dowries from my mother's family. Over the years, I have only let my mother's family take care of it, and it has been a mess. Fei Hong, you take a few people to Jiujiang to take over those shops. Fei You, you take a few people to Jiujiang to take over the fields! ”

"Yes!"

Fei Hong and Fei You immediately received their orders.

Lou also said: "At the northwest foot of Ehu Mountain, there is a mountain forest that I have bought. Fei Fu, if you were to open a new paper mill, would you be up to the task? ”

"There must be workers." Fei Fu replied.

"Can you dig it up?" Lou asked.

Fei Fu replied: "You can dig people, and you don't have to dig the workers of the Fei family, and some of the Xinshu officials are papermakers." ”

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court set up the Xishan Official Bureau in Jiangxi, and the country's largest official paper mill was born, and the specialty was "Xuande paper".

Two hundred years later, the trees of the West Mountain were cut down, and the imperial court moved the paper mill to Shinshu, which was very close to the town of Ehu.

The famous rice paper is the official bureau of Xishan, which is called "Jingxian paper" at this time. Because of the increasing shortage of raw materials, it was changed to green sandalwood bark mixed with straw manufacturing, which gradually evolved into rice paper in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

Tang and Song Dynasty Xuan paper, Xuande paper, Jingxian paper, and Xuan paper are actually four different kinds of paper, which are often mixed up.

Lou didn't understand this very well, and asked, "The craftsmen who dig up the official bureau, are they willing to come?" ”

Fei Fu explained: "In the Xinzhou Bureau, corruption is rampant, and officials and craftsmen have become private slaves. As long as we can afford the price and can shelter the craftsmen, I am afraid that all the officials and craftsmen are willing to come. ”

"That's fine, you can do it." Lou nodded in approval.

The official paper mill in Shinshu has long existed in name only.

Both production and quality have declined severely, and profits have gone into private pockets. When the imperial court needed tribute paper, it colluded with the upper and lower levels, took the opportunity to stir up trouble, disrupted the market with administrative orders, and forced private paper mills in Leadshan County to sell them at low prices.

Fei Fu reminded: "Madam, if the new paper tray is opened, even if everything goes well, it will take half a year to produce the paper." If you want to get good paper, you have to be more than a year. ”

"It's only a year, and I can still afford it!" Lou is full of confidence.

Fei Fu arched his hand and said, "So, the little one does his best." ”

Lou said to another house slave: "Fei Xi, you take a few people to take over the restaurant in Hekou Town." ”

The restaurant in Hekou Town was picked up by Fei Yinghuan and originally belonged to Fei Songnian's industry.

After Fei Songnian was angry to death, fifty percent of the property was donated to the academy, and thirty percent of the property was distributed by Fei Yuanlu.

Among them, the restaurant was divided by Fei Yinghuan, but the management staff has not moved.

Now that the restaurant is getting worse, Lou has long wanted to rectify it, and he just took this opportunity to change the management.

Zhao Han suddenly said, "Madam, I want to ask for an errand." ”

"Tell me." Lou smiled.

Zhao Han said: "In the restaurant in Hekou Town, I want to be the deputy shopkeeper. ”

There is only one shopkeeper, commonly known as the big shopkeeper.

There can be many deputy shopkeepers, commonly known as two shopkeepers, three shopkeepers, and four shopkeepers...... They are responsible for different departments.

Lou didn't ask much, only reminded: "It's okay to do things, don't delay your studies." ”

Zhao Han said again: "I still need a few more people." ”

"Take your pick." Lou agreed very simply.
