Chapter 186: Idea Rejected

The smile on Steward Yue's face continued, but he muttered a little in his heart.

It's not that he feels a little shameless doing things under a woman, but Ye Hao has turned around this time, rarely speaking, and has no expression, which really makes him unpredictable and unpredictable.

What he said was also sincere, and King Cheng An had explained when he asked him to buy the weaving mill that he must meet all of Ye Hao's needs.

As one of the stewards who took care of his shops for King Cheng An before, Steward Yue is still quite experienced in running shops.

If nothing else, even if he was allowed to run a weaving mill by himself, it would be fine.

The question is, the lady doesn't seem to have any orders?

Just as he was distressed, Ye Hao spoke.

"What about those who used to work in this weaving house? Have they all been dismissed?"

According to what Steward Yue said, there are more than 20 weavers in this weaving workshop alone, not to mention the workers on the shop and the backyard dye vat, there are forty or fifty people up and down, right?

didn't expect Ye Hao to suddenly ask this, Steward Yue thought for a while, and then said the information he had learned.

"It is said that the former master was all dismissed when he did not intend to continue the business, but the shop guy and the backyard dyer seem to be slaves in the other party's family, and they just returned to the house to serve. Only the weavers, some women from nearby families, were sent home."

The weavers are basically women, after all, it is a delicate job, and there is no need to meet foreign men in the backyard, but it is also convenient for some ingenious women to work to subsidize the family.

After all, working in a weaving mill is much more lucrative than doing odd jobs such as sewing handkerchiefs at home.

Hearing this, Ye Hao frowned and asked:

"If I want to get those weavers back, is that okay?"

"It should be feasible, but it's hard to say whether it will be the original team."

Regarding Ye Hao's doubts, Steward Yue did not give a positive answer.

After all, there are many households in Chengpingzhou County, and there are thousands of ordinary households in the county alone, how can there be a few women who lack work and want to subsidize their families?

He also thought about recalling the weavers, but he didn't expect Ye Hao to want to recall the original team.

"It's okay, you can do more."

Regarding Steward Yue's worries, Ye Hao waved her hand with a look of no concern.

"As long as she is a woman, if she can't do the work of a weaver, she can speak well or have the strength to do a dyeing job, or she is good at cooking, as long as she has merit and good character, then she will be fine."

Hearing this, Steward Yue was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what she meant.

What do you want so many women to do when you open a weaving workshop?

Considering that this steward followed him this time, he spoke and did things in a down-to-earth manner, not like the kind of person with a flamboyant tongue.

In addition, the other party is still carrying the task laid by King Cheng'an, and it is estimated that he will have to help himself do a lot of things in the future, so Ye Hao told the other party his thoughts.

"Since ancient times, weaving and making clothes have been women's work, and you see, even the people who come to buy cloth are women, aren't they?"

This is not wrong, Steward Yue nodded.

"Since they are all dealing with women, I am going to open a weaving mill where all women are in charge of the work, not only the weavers, but also the shopkeepers and the dyers."

Perhaps the dyer is more difficult for women who are born with less strength, but the women of this era are very powerful!

Not to mention anything else, in the village where she once lived, which aunt could have less strength than an adult man?

They were all once officials and dependents who didn't touch the spring water, and they have been trained like this in just a few years of life, not to mention those peasant women who have been working in the fields since they were children.

As soon as Ye Hao's thoughts came out, Steward Yue's mouth grew in surprise, and he was a little unable to react for a while.

A shop made entirely by women? It seems that there is nothing but the land of fireworks.

This was the first thought that popped into the steward's mind, but he didn't say it, but swallowed it back.

After all, the person in front of him was a distinguished guest that King Cheng'an had specially explained to be treated carefully, and Steward Yue restrained the surprise in his heart and began to analyze calmly.

"Ma'am, this may be difficult to do."

First to break the other party's illusions, he immediately began to explain.

"If an ordinary woman were to come and work as a weaver, or even as a dyer, it would be fine. After all, they are all in the backyard, and it is no longer a problem to meet outsiders. But if the shop guy in front of me is also a woman, then few women are willing."

Even though most of the people who came to buy the cloth were women, it was inevitable that there would be men who accompanied the lady to choose.

It's just that in this way, no woman will be willing to do the work, and such contact with foreign men is not acceptable to ordinary women.

Not everyone is like Ye Hao, who can take his family out to set up a stall to sell food without any scruples, after all, this is still feudal and ignorant in ancient times, and the restrictions on women are quite harsh.

"Really?"

Frowning, Ye Hao didn't expect that as soon as her idea came out, it would be vetoed.

It's not enough to be angry, but she didn't expect to be a simple salesperson, which is not allowed in this era, and the malice towards women is too great, right?

Seeing her seemingly dissatisfied look, Steward Yue paused, but still didn't continue to dispel the other party's thoughts.

"If you really want to do that, you can try it first."

In the end, in the end, in order not to offend the other party, he could only relax his tone first.

It's just that a woman should be a partner, which is completely impossible in Steward Yue's thoughts.

Not to mention whether the husband's family can agree, even when others see that the guy in a shop is a woman, they will point fingers.

Nodding slightly, Ye Hao felt that she had to try it first, and she didn't care about the other party's disapproving tone at all.

After resting for a while, Ye Hao also understood the layout of the entire weaving workshop, and did not plan to waste any more time here, so she went back to the palace immediately.

When he arrived at the courtyard, Xie Yunshu's teaching task was almost over, and he was now watching Zhao Yi study calligraphy seriously.

Seeing this, Ye Hao pulled him over and said that he had gone to check the weaving workshop today.

For the location and size of the entire weaving mill, and even the looms left, Ye Hao was extremely satisfied.

It's just that in the selection of jobs, I am a little dissatisfied. It's just that she didn't tell Xie Yunshu about this matter, the other party now has his own big things to consider, and she can't bother him with this little thing of hers.

As for the matter of the improved loom, we still have to discuss it a little.

"Carpenter Zuo is in the county town of Barbarian, so it's really hard to get him over. We don't know each other well in Chengpingzhou County, and we don't know a solid carpenter, so the drawings of my improved loom will not be used for the time being."

Regarding the drawings, Ye Hao mentioned it last time when she said that she wanted to open a weaving workshop, and Xie Yunshu still had an impression.

The drawings that can make her so concerned are also an object that will not be worse than the improved version of the wooden plough before, but the other party is right, there is no stable carpenter, so it is better not to use it.

Xie Yunshu nodded, having no opinion on Ye Hao's decision.

"It's okay, just do what you want. I believe that even an ordinary weaving mill will be no worse than any other weaving mill under your whims."

Hearing her husband's words, which were comparable to love words, Ye Hao pursed her lips and smiled, a slight flush appeared on her face.

Just where neither of them noticed, sitting at the table not far from them, Zhao Yi's big eyes flashed with a light, and he quietly listened to this conversation.

At the same time, Fu Ru'an, who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, was not so stable.

Since the news of his improvement spread, many elders of the Fu family have come to see him, and some families who have business dealings and good relations with the Fu family have come to inquire about the news with gifts.

Those who have nothing to do with him, Fu Ruan can refuse, but the clan elders can't be seen.

As a result, Fu Ru'an, who saw many people in one day, was getting worse and worse, and Fu Hongzhuo said that he would be more relaxed by letting him cultivate alone.

"Mrs. Xie's medicine is really very effective, but if you don't take it on time for a day, your body will turn sharply."

Turning the medicine bottle that Ye Hao had prepared for herself in advance, a smile appeared in the corner of Fu Ru'an's eyes, and it was rare to sit in the courtyard and relax.

In fact, seeing people does not affect his condition, but he himself is tired of those people's words, and he is too lazy to say goodbye so he resorts to a small trick.

Before he released the news that he was getting better, he knew what kind of situation he would face.

It's just that Fu Ru'an didn't expect those people to be noisier than ducks, and groups of people came and went, which was really a bit boring.

As the eldest son of the Fu family and the only grandson of the Xia family, if his body is good and he has the strength to compete for the head of the family, there will definitely be no shortage of people who want to come to investigate.

However, whether to compete for the head of the family, this option has never changed Fu Ru'an's choice since he was a child.

It's just a Fu family, doesn't he have the ability to do it himself?

"Young master, the step-lady sent someone to invite again, saying that her niece from her mother's side came to pay homage to the old lady, please come over and recognize your face."

Fu Yan stood aside respectfully, saying what the next person had just come to report.

The smile in the corner of Fu Ru'an's eyes deepened, but there was a little less truth and more irony.

It has been two years since Wang married into the Fu family, during which time he gave birth to a daughter, who is less than a year old this year.

His father didn't love her as much as he used to, so he thought about starting with himself?

With a cold smile, Fu Ru'an unusually did not refuse the other party's invitation this time, but let Fu Yan push himself to the back garden.

Not only was Wang and her niece present, but even the old lady was sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea.

It's just the expression on the face, I can't say how good it is.

Fu Ru'an first asked his grandmother to say goodbye, and the old lady felt very sorry for this eldest grandson, and said that he was not in good health, so he hurried back to the house to stay.

didn't give the face of the Wang family who was standing next to him to facilitate this meeting at all, so that the latter's face turned blue and white for a while, but he didn't dare to speak.

It was still the cousin who was sensible, and said softly and weakly:

"Before I came, I heard that my cousin was not in good health, so I brought my father's medicinal materials purchased from the Western Regions with a lot of money, and I hope my cousin will not dislike it."

This cousin's appearance is also peugeot, a typical melon seed face and cherry mouth, full of classical beauty.

is quite similar to Fu Ru'an's second aunt in temperament, very gentle.

I don't know if it's deliberately to attract someone, or if it's been cultivated by the family itself.

However, Fu Ru'an's eyes only glanced at her lightly, and did not stop for a second longer.

"No need, the medicine sent by a friend is already much better."

"Oh? Friend? Do you have a friend in Lingnan? Why don't you bring your family with you?"
