When the boudoir circle meets now, the ladies will first glance at each other's chests.

"How can it be so flat! Didn't you wear your lady's new corset? ”

The noble girl who was criticized for Ping, looking at her best friend's proud appearance, her eyes showed envy, "How did you grow up so much?" ”

The noble girl laughed twice, and then leaned into her best friend's ear like a thief and said, "I didn't grow up, because I wore the noble girl's new corset!" ”

Then, there was no longer a small bean in the boudoir circle of the capital, and even the concubines in the palace secretly sent people to the 'noble girl' to buy a corset and come back to wear. ”

If you don't wear a noble girl's corset, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law are embarrassed to go out!

The emperor was in the imperial garden that day, and when he saw the concubines walking in front of him, he couldn't help but be in a trance for a while.

"Has the food in the palace been much better lately?" The emperor asked An Shun suspiciously, "Why are they all plump?" ”

An Shun told the noble girl and the noble son about the new cotton corset and underwear.

The emperor suddenly realized, and in the evening, he asked the concubine to take the noble girl's corset and look at it carefully.

"How come I've never seen this cloth before?"

It has toughness and can stretch, and it is this toughness that allows the corset to tightly wrap the body and fit well.

"I heard what it's called combed cotton, and it's the first time I've seen it." Concubine Li took out a beautifully packaged bag and held it in front of the emperor like a treasure, "This is what the concubine asked the noble son to buy for the emperor." The emperor tried it, does it fit? ”

The emperor's clothes were all made by the embroidery lady in the palace.

"Originally, the concubine wanted to make one for the emperor herself, but this combed cotton is not the right cloth for takeaway, and the concubine can only buy ready-made. It has been seen by the people in the Tai Hospital, and it is not toxic, and the emperor can try it on with confidence. ”

The Emperor looked at the triangular shorts and was a little skeptical about their comfort, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and tried them on.

After putting it on, the emperor finally understood why this garment made of combed cotton has become popular in the capital recently.

"I heard that this combed cotton is worn close to the body after winter, and it is very warm. The people in the capital are already customizing winter clothes, as well as foot clothes, and the concubines have tried it, and it is indeed very warm and comfortable. There are also towels and bath towels made of cotton, which are very useful......"

Concubine Li recommended it so strongly, just so that the emperor ordered that the clothes made of combed cotton be included in the list of purchases in the Winter Palace, so that she would not have to pay for it out of her own pocket.

The price of cotton clothes is a little expensive, especially combed cotton, which is higher than the price of fine silk, but the concubines live a delicate life and change quickly, only relying on the monthly examples in the palace, which is not enough.

The emperor put one hand around the concubine's slender waist, and the other hand stroked the combed cotton clothes, and his pupils shrank slightly.

He said why Xie Xun sold the drawings of the sewing machine so happily, it turned out that he had already prepared his backhand.

They tried their best to scrape together the money and buy the blueprints, but they just followed Xie Xun to eat some scraps and burn cold!

With a bang, the emperor overturned the tray.

"What a thank you!" The emperor shouted angrily and asked, "Where is Xie Xun?" ”

Anshun couldn't help but secretly scold Concubine Li for being stupid, naturally the later this kind of thing is known to the emperor, the better~

"Your Majesty, Xie Shizi took a three-day leave from the Wei Institute, saying that he was too busy recently and tired and sick."

The Emperor snorted angrily, "He's been counting the silver lately, but he's not going to be tired and sick!" ”

The noble girl and the noble son have indeed been busy recently, and if it weren't for the superb medical skills of the doctors in the Zhenguo Mansion, they would have fallen ill.

"Lord Shizi, in seven days, the noble daughter and the noble son relied on cotton cloth and made a net profit of five million nine hundred and eighty-three thousand seven hundred and twenty-two taels of silver." Steward Qian reported with a smile, "The order for winter clothes has been scheduled for three months. ”

This cotton cloth is simply too profitable!

Especially for corsets and underwear, people from high families go to the custom shop to buy combed cotton, and ordinary people buy cheaper ones at Donghai Department Store, no matter which side they are, the business is very hot.

Because cloth is not sold to the public, the finished products made of cotton cloth will be sold out in less than half a day as soon as they are put on the shelves in the shops of the East China Sea Department Store.

"Autumn and winter foot clothing should be made more, this is a fast consumable." Xie Xun advised.

The foot coat is the socks, and when a person is up and down, the socks are the fastest to deteriorate.

Steward Lin hurriedly wrote down this matter in a small notebook.

"By the way, how is the land in the south of the city?" Xie Xun asked.

The land in the south of the city is a bit lower than other places, and in order to improve the problem of water accumulation in the rainy season, it is necessary not only to dig more underground drainage pipes, but also to increase the terrain to be level with other places.

Xie had a Zhuangzi outside the capital, and there was a lonely mountain with few trees and no crops. Xie Xun ordered it to be leveled, and all the sand and gravel were used to fill the land in the south of the city, and after calculation, it was just enough.

The cotton cloth clothes produced by the Xie family were popular in the capital, but the people in the capital couldn't help but pout when they saw the workers transporting the soil.

"Xie Shizi is really smart, he was confused for a while, what is there to build on this land in the south of the city? Still moving mountains and filling in depressions? ”

"Yes, yes! I have never heard of moving mountains and reclamation of the sea, but Xie Shizi moved his own mountains and filled in depressions, and today it can be regarded as letting the old man live for a long time~"

"Fortunately, my family got back the equity money of the 'homeland', otherwise it would have been a loss!"

……

Everyone agreed that the project in the south of the city must be compensated.

Every time he passed through the south of the city in a carriage, Gao Shiqing's mood would be slightly better.

"What about making money from cotton, only this 'homeland' is lost, and all the money earned by the noble son and the noble girl and the Donghai Department Store can be put into it!"

He had already gone to the household department to ask, and the Xie family spent 50 million taels of silver just to buy this land, not to mention rebuilding it...... Thinking of that amount, Gao Shiqing couldn't help but admire Xie Xun's audacity.

"Cousin, you say, Xie Xun is trying to entrap those homeless people?" The fourth prince asked.

After thinking about it, he couldn't understand why Xie Xun spent so much silver taels to rebuild this land, only to win the hearts of the people.

Gao Shiqing couldn't figure it out either, "Who knows." He does whatever he likes. ”

He couldn't do anything about it now. As long as Donghai Department Store doesn't make mistakes, the merchants he received have had a good income recently. He also gradually had idle money, and gathered the people of the Junjie Gang together to hold a poetry meeting.

Although he still failed to write poems that surpassed Xie Xun, he finally stabilized the position of the leader of the Junjie Gang.

He only hopes that Donghai Department Store can prosper day by day, and the Gao family can also take the opportunity to earn some silver.

"Cousin, you seem to have a new way to make money lately?"

This is the reason why the four princes came to Gao Shiqing today.

He and the Pei family are already planning to build a clothing and bicycle workshop, but it will take some time to make money.

In order to buy drawings before, they almost scavenged out all the silver, and they were shy in their pockets, but they suddenly found that the Gao family, which had been plowed down, seemed to have surplus money, which couldn't help but surprise the four princes and Pei You'an.

Since that day's imperial study, the fourth prince took the initiative to drink tea with Gao Shiqing for the first time.

"Where is there any way to make money, but my father sold the family's sea boat, so he has more money." Gao Shiqing didn't dare to tell the secret of being a supplier of Donghai Department Store.

As long as Xie doesn't find out about this matter, he and his father will cover the ground to death......
