Chang Xi was neither surprised nor surprised by Zhang Yingda's choice, she directly beckoned Zhang Yingda to sit down, "Tell me carefully." ”

Zhang Yingda was originally a little nervous, but when he saw that Chang Xi didn't treat him as a child, he began to straighten his chest, and he was proving to her that he was a man.

"Sister Chang, recently the ship of foreign devils came to shore again, they brought spices and some exquisite crops, I got on the boat to take a look, their spices can be sold at a price here in our place, as for those crops, many people think they are flashy and unreal, and they have not caused a sensation," paused, "But even so, they can make a lot of money, plus the tea, silk, and porcelain that will be taken away from us at that time, this time is all money, so why don't we do this business?" ”

Chang Xi actually wanted to do ocean trade a long time ago, but no one was available at that time, so it was always shelved, but now Zhang Yingda said that he had taken a fancy to this business, so she would help him.

"Going to sea is not as easy as you think, and I don't want you to try to escape because you are in trouble......"

"No, Sister Chang, I'm not acting rashly, I'm thinking about it seriously, I didn't do it before, I couldn't worry about my mother and lotus seeds, but now I find that without me, they can live well, especially lotus seeds, she can learn more from staying with Sister Chang than following me, I don't want lotus seeds to marry chickens and dogs like my mother in the future, I hope lotus seeds can have their own lives."

Chang Xi understood that he hoped that the brother and sister would be separated, so that his sister would no longer rely on him to stand up on his own, or that this prison disaster made Zhang Yingda think more far-reaching.

"Okay, I understand your thoughts, so let's arrange for you to live at sea for a month or two, can you try to see if you can adapt? As for the purchase of a vessel, how about not rushing it first? ”

Zhang Yingda nodded busily, he wanted to start again, and he wanted to make money for Chang Xi urgently.

Chang Xi called Shi Axiang in, and then contacted the boss through her.

This year, the manager did not translate for James again, but ran between the island country and the land at sea, and began to transport grain, she knew that this was a transaction between Xie Jin and the manager, so she never asked.

The manager has no opinion on her wanting to install a teenager to come over with him, after seeing Zhang Yingda, he appreciates this calm young man, "Okay, I'll train him for you, and within two months, he will be able to take charge on his own." ”

Chang Xi hurriedly thanked him, and then asked Zhang Yingguo to go back and say goodbye to his mother and sister.

Chen was reluctant to let his son go, crying and asking him not to leave, leaving the family of three to live together.

Zhang Lianzi was silent and packed her brother's luggage, looking at her brother's young face, she said, "Brother, I'm waiting for you to spread your wings and fly high." ”

Zhang Yingda hugged her sister, and then lifted her luggage and left without looking back.

Chen couldn't help crying, but Zhang Lianzi didn't persuade her, she came over to find Chang Xi, "Sister Chang, can I learn something from Sister Dongli or Sister Xiaotao?" ”

Their brother and sister owe Chang Xi a lot, she wants to repay Chang Xi as soon as possible, but she is alone, except for working for Chang Xi, she doesn't know what else to do?

Chang Xi looked at the little girl and said with a smile, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Zhang Lianzi nodded, "Sister Chang, I want to be like Sister Dongli and Sister Xiaotao, I don't want to grow up just to get married, I don't want to be like my mother." ”

Chen, who was hiding outside the door, overheard her daughter's words, and immediately burst into tears, she didn't expect that she was such a useless person in her daughter's mind, for the first time, she desperately wanted to change.

Next, Zhang Lianzi followed Xiao Tao to learn to manage accounts, she used to be in charge of accounts in the trio of vegetable sellers, so it is not difficult to learn this, on the contrary, she is careful and very suitable for this.

Xiao Tao said to Chang Xi more than once, "Lotus seeds are naturally suitable for this, Chang Niangzi, you can try to let her manage the accounts of the spinning workshop in the future." ”

She was now in charge of the accounts at the spinning workshop, but the work was so heavy that she gradually felt that she could not bear it, and that she needed someone to share it.

"As long as she has the ability, I will give her this opportunity." Chang Xi said with a smile, "That's it, I'll let Dongli pick a few good seedlings and hand them over to you to pay for the management of the school, and the workshop will further develop in the future, and the talents in this area are best cultivated by ourselves." ”

"That's a good dare, I don't trust the bookkeeper invited from outside." Xiao Tao said happily.

Chang Xi patted her on the shoulder, Xiao Tao will be the financial director in the future, and there is a long way to go.

Poor Xiao Tao didn't know that the rest of her life had been arranged by Chang Xi, and dealing with money was always a happy and painful job.

The spinning workshop is slowly on the right track, and Baishi manages this side in an orderly manner, and Chang Xi gives full recognition to Bai's work, which makes Baishi happy.

However, in order not to let Bai Shi dominate the spinning workshop, she brought Dong Li up and asked her to come over and become the second-in-command of the spinning workshop, so as to balance the pattern and not feed people's ambitions.

And she re-proposed a village girl called Caifeng to take over the position of Dongli, this young girl called Caifeng won the first place in several internal self-tests in the workshop, and her promotion and salary made many people in the village begin to pay attention to learning, and it turned out that the book really had its own golden house.

When Aunt Osmanthus saw Caifeng move to the previous position of Dongli, she smiled and patted the young girl's shoulder, "Do a good job." ”

"Aunt Osmanthus, I know." Cai Feng smiled, of course she had to work hard, after all, Dong Li was her role model, and it was much more respectable to sit here and work than in the workshop.

Dong Li also smiled, "I'll take you for a while, and you'll get started slowly." ”

Caifeng is naturally busy thanking and studying very hard.

Chang Xi's personnel changes have caused heated discussions in the workshop, and they obviously feel that there is a channel for improvement, and the young people in the workshop are more motivated than before, and even study harder.

The imperial court soon made a resolution and adopted Chang Xi's proposal to use iron ore instead of silver to settle part of the payment, so that Chang Xi's initial purpose was achieved, and more automation improvements could be made with steam power.

Agreements were signed with both the Ministry of Works' Higashiro and the Tobe's Sun Shiro, and the deal was officially concluded.

Mrs. Lin's ironwork workshop is working at full capacity to produce steam exhaust engines, striving for delivery on time, which also makes Mrs. Lin so happy that she can't keep her mouth shut, this kind of business can bring a lot of intangible benefits, and no one in the family dares to object to his preference for Lin Yuqi's grandson, and of course no one dares to say that his grandson is a fool.

When things were developing in a good direction, the Chang sisters came to the door again, and this time Chang Xi did not refuse to leave, but took the time to see them.

Chang Da'e's eyes were red, obviously crying, and Chang Er'e was holding her neck, wanting to beg Chang Xi, but she couldn't pull her face, it was such a strange expression.

"San'e, my father and mother are gone." As soon as Chang Da'e saw Chang Xi, she cried.

"If you are willing to save your little brother, your father and mother will not disappear, Chang San'e, let me ask you, is your heart made of iron and stone?" Chang Er'e immediately stood on the moral high ground and attacked.

Chang Xi swept the sisters with cold eyes, she didn't feel the slightest feeling about the disappearance of Chang Dadou and Li, the black-hearted couple, "This is what you came for?" Then please go back, if you don't see anyone, look for me, it's useless to look for me. ”

"San'e, you have a lot of connections, just look for your father, no matter how bad they are, they are also our parents." Chang Da'e remembers family affection in the end, if it weren't for the disappearance of her parents this time, she wouldn't have bothered Chang Xi.

Chang Er'e shouted, "Daddy and mother are gone, how can you still sit still?" Chang San'e, no wonder your father and mother say that you are a white-eyed wolf and an unfilial daughter......"

"Someone, drag her out, listen to her and make noise." Chang Xi said impatiently.

Wu Laosan immediately brought someone in to set up Chang Er'e and dragged him out, Chang Er'e was so frightened that her face was pale, she didn't expect Chang Xi to let people do it if she didn't agree with her, and she regretted it so much in her heart that she was terrible.

"San'e, sister has something to say, don't treat your second sister like this......"

"Eldest sister, I will tolerate you for the sake of our sisterhood, and Chang Er'e is not among my tolerances." Chang Xi stopped Chang Da'e's plea, "I still say the same thing before, killing people pays for their lives, it is a matter of course, I will not interfere in Chang Kui's case, as for Chang Dadou and Li, I will not care about their affairs." After a pause, "You must know that today's fruit is also the result of his daily cause." ”

When Chang Da'e heard this, he hurriedly asked, "San'e, what do you mean by this?" ”

Chang Xi didn't want to say more, "In short, eldest sister, go back, if you follow Chang Er'e to mess around, don't blame me for not recognizing you as the eldest sister." ”

After speaking, she directly asked Caifeng to send off the guests, and no longer paid more attention to the Chang Da'e sisters.

Chang Da'e left the tea brick workshop in a bit of a daze, Chang Er'e saw the eldest sister coming out, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask, "Eldest sister, how is it?" San'e said that she didn't care......"

"Daddy and Mom have been living with you recently, do you know what's wrong with them?" Chang Da'e grabbed her sister and asked.

"How do I know?" Chang Er'e pushed her sister's hand and said unhappily, and then said thoughtfully, "Daddy often eats delicious ...... behind our backs."

The two sisters glanced at each other, their father and mother must have a secret, and it was this secret that caused the two of them to disappear.

Chang Er'e was very annoyed in her heart, her parents were selfish people, so she was annoyed, "If you don't look for it, they will die outside." After saying that, he left in a huff.

Chang Da'e thought much deeper, when her parents came back from the capital and brought back San'e, she actually knew from that time that San'e was not born to her father, but San'e was very beautiful when she was a child, and she had more heart for this little sister.

Maybe the disappearance of her father and mother has something to do with this secret, she is powerless to stroke her forehead at this time, she is also a peasant woman, she can't manage so much, so she can only turn around and leave weakly.

After Chang Xi watched Chang Da'e leave, he turned around and sat back in his chair, it was a good thing that Chang Da'e didn't wade into this troubled water.

At this moment, Caifeng came in and said, "Chang Niangzi, the second dog has just sent back the news, and the Han girl who lives in the Yuelai Inn has set off to return to Beijing with her grandmother......
