095:Restraint (2nd Shift)
This busy was busy until the evening, Chang Xi had time to ask about the Wei family brothers and sisters, and picked up the wind and flipped through the notebook in his hand, "Second Master Wei is still visiting the tea brick workshop, and he also participated in the production of tea bricks, as for dinner, he said that he went to the canteen to use it, and wanted to try the dishes in our canteen." And on the third girl's side, her cook sent the menu, I have already sent it to the canteen, and the small kitchen is also ready, all the tableware is ready, Chang Niangzi, is there anything else to order? ”
Chang Xi listened to this girl say a long list of words without knots, compared to before she set off for the capital, she is obviously very improved now, "Very good, by the way, is there any manpower arranged in the courtyard?" ”
Although the Wei family has sent people to follow and wait for the brothers and sisters, they are not familiar with the place in the end, and she can't spare time now, so she can only arrange the manpower that can be used there.
"Aunt Chen is watching over there, there shouldn't be any mistakes." Wind collection duct.
Chang Xi nodded, Zhang Yingda's mother Chen has not been arranged by her to go to work in the workshop, but stayed in the yard where she lives to do some chores, rather than looking for another person, it is more credible for Chen to be more credible.
Wei Jinfu didn't have to worry about it, she chose to eat in the cafeteria, but in order to take care of Wei Guangnan's cousin's appetite, she specially asked for a private room, and then asked people to make a few delicious stir-fries, and then called Xie Ming and his wife to accompany her, of course, the steward sent by the eldest princess was indispensable, so it was regarded as a closer relationship between them.
Wei Guangnan walked over with a red face, and after getting to know everyone, he said, "I have opened my eyes today, and your workshop is refreshing from the personnel to the system setting." ”
Chang Xi smiled and let him sit down, "It's just that the scale of the workshop is large, so I have to put more thought into it, so that people can see hope while forging ahead." ”
"Cousin, you have really refreshed my perception of you many times." Wei Guang South Road.
Chang Xi smiled, she could see that Wei Guangnan was very interested in these, and she felt eager to try, and she suddenly knew it in her heart.
She doesn't know much about this cousin of the Wei family, but she just knows that he has a fictitious official position, the kind that doesn't even need a little bit on weekdays, and then he is more in charge of the property of the Wei Mansion, obviously as a side branch of the Wei family in the future, he is more useful here.
"Then cousin, you go around and see more, after all, hearing is false, seeing is believing, this is the first day."
Wei Guangnan agreed with Chang Xi's words, although he was excited, he would not act impulsively, especially since the background of this tea brick workshop was complicated, it was even more difficult to get involved.
Xie Ming saw that their cousins and sisters were talking about it, so they talked to Wei Guangnan, both of them were from wealthy families, and neither of them was the main branch of the family's vigorous cultivation, so they had a lot in common.
And Chang Xi turned his head to talk to Steward Fang, of course, she couldn't snub Bai's, in short, as a master of Duanshui, she did a good job.
A banquet, everyone was quite satisfied, and the relationship was instantly closer.
When the banquet was dismissed, Chang Xi walked with Bai Shi, only to see her whispering, "Eighth Young Lady, Ming'er sent a letter to all the merchants who have cooperative relations with our spinning workshop, asking them to have a meeting." ”
Bai Shi couldn't react for a while, and exclaimed: "But what happened?" ”
Chang Xi patted her hand, "It's not a big deal, it's just that everyone gets together to contact and connect with each other, and by the way, discuss the price of the cloth." ”
When Bai Shi heard this, she immediately understood that Chang Xi was not satisfied with the price of cloth on the market today, and she was also concerned about this, because of the increase in yarn, the price of cloth in Yiyang City had dropped a lot, which was a good thing, why was Chang Xi dissatisfied?
She couldn't figure it out, so she asked.
Chang Xi sighed, "It's not the price of cloth on the market, it's the price of export." ”
She was happy to give profits to the people of the Daewoo Dynasty, and it was also one of the reasons why she promoted industrialization, but she was not very happy to give profits to foreign merchants.
"I heard from the foreign merchant James that our local cloth merchants in Yiyang have pressed the price again and again in order to compete for the amount of exports, which is not good, the price of this export is higher than our local selling price, and we are not outsiders' fortune boys."
Seeing Chang Xi's face cold, Bai Shi couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, she had never thought about this question, "Okay, I'll ask someone to send them an invitation letter immediately." ”
Chang Xi nodded, and then asked Caifeng to arrange the itinerary.
After dinner, the meeting continued, after all, there was too much backlog, so the management unanimously had to work overtime.
After all this, Chang Xi returned to her residence behind the workshop, which had been renovated for several months and was getting better and better.
It's just that compared with the magnificence of the Wei Mansion and the Weiwu Marquis Mansion in the capital, it is inevitable that it is too simple here, and only bright and clean is an advantage.
As for Wei Jinfu, when she saw Chang Xi, she kept pulling her and said with great sympathy, "Cousin suffered. ”
This made Chang Xi feel confused at first, and later understood what she meant, this is because she felt that the place where she lived was too shabby, which made her cry and laugh instantly.
There are strict regulations on the residence of the Daewoo Dynasty, like she used to be just a flat-headed commoner, and if she wants to build a gorgeous mansion comparable to that of the aristocracy, it will not work, this is arrogance, and it is not something that can be done with money.
Of course, she wants to save trouble conveniently, and has not spent too much thought on food, clothing, and housing. Even if she built a gorgeous mansion, how many days would she be able to live?
Wei Jinfu heard Chang Xi say it clearly, and her face immediately turned red, she only thought that her cousin was living a hard life because she had no money, but she didn't expect that there were other reasons, "It's that I think too simply, cousin don't worry." ”
As for persuading her cousin to build a gorgeous mansion, she still didn't say it, and as soon as she came to talk about it, her cousin thought she couldn't get used to living here.
Chang Xi didn't think much about it, Wei Jinfu looked like a simple girl, she didn't have so many flowers, but she thought that this cousin was the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, so she said, "This house has actually been almost repaired, Ming'er, I will let people arrange the scenery of the courtyard, and my cousin can live more comfortably......"
"Cousin, I didn't mean that, I ......" Wei Jinfu was immediately anxious when she heard this, she was afraid that Chang Xi would misunderstand.
"Did you just say that I suffered? Now I say I'm going to set up the scenery, and you're holding back, because you want me to continue to suffer. Chang Xi smiled and raised his eyebrows.
Wei Jinfu was stunned at first, and only after a while did she realize that she was being teased by Chang Xi, "Cousin, you are bad, make fun of me." ”
Looking at this little cousin's coquettish appearance, Chang Xi couldn't help laughing.
However, in order to take care of this cousin's diet and daily life, Chang Xi arranged several more people in the residence, but they were all doing some rough cleaning, after all, the kung fu of waiting for people is not as good as that of the subordinates of the Wei State Mansion.
Chen privately told Chang Xi about the servants of the Wei family, and his face couldn't help but shrink a little, after all, he was a descendant of the Guogong Mansion, and she felt that she was a little shorter.
Chang Xi patted her on the shoulder and said solemnly, "Aunt Chen, you can't do this, you are born as a human being, you are not half a cut shorter than them, there is no need to scare them, I still have everything to bear, you can just act boldly." ”
Chen received Chang Xi's encouragement, and his face had a bit of confidence.
And Wei Jinfu also privately restrained the Wei family who came with her, only to see her also said with a small face, "You all know that I don't rub sand in my eyes, if anyone lets me hear complaints again, I don't have to go back to the capital, I will deal with her first, and don't say that my grandmother will not punish me, and even my mother will support my decision." After a pause, "If anyone wants to try, I will fulfill her." ”
Although she is the third among the sisters, she is the daughter of the big house of the Guogong Mansion, and her mother is the housewife.
Based on this alone, all the Wei family members couldn't help but panic, only to see that they all knelt down and begged for mercy, swearing on the spot that they would behave in a proper manner, and would not say some yin and yang words to make people unhappy.
Wei Jinfu's face softened at this time, and while letting them get up, she emphasized again, "If anyone dares to play maggots in my relationship with my cousin, I will not finish with her." ”
The Wei family and the others hurriedly responded, and then saw their own girl waving their hands, and everyone dispersed, leaving only the big maid who was waiting for her in the house.
It didn't take long for the Chen family to find that the people of the Wei family were not as good as yesterday, they were talking about yin and yang in disgust, and then they were looking down on people's faces, and a group of them were a lot kinder, and their faces were full of smiles when they talked to her.
This change made her think, or Chang Niangzi was right, if she didn't scare them, others wouldn't be able to climb on her head and, after thinking about this, she straightened her chest even more to arrange the affairs of the yard, she had to be worthy of Chang Niangzi's cultivation of herself.
Chang Xi didn't leave much energy to pay attention to these trivial matters, and immediately after inspecting the spinning workshop, she held a meeting with the textile counterparts who came to have a cooperative relationship.
For the weavers who compete for export at a lower price, when they heard Chang Xi mention this problem, they all looked at each other, they only thought about small profits and quick turnover, and the others naturally did not think too much.
Zheng Niangzi, who is also a weaver, saw Chang Xi come forward to deal with this problem at this time, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, maliciously suppressing price competition, just to sell more goods to foreign devils, in her opinion, it is a stupid approach, this is an act that disrupts the entire Yiyang cloth market, and it must not be let go.
On this issue, she privately asked President Xu of the Yiyang Chamber of Commerce to reflect, but President Xu had a dilemma on his face, after all, doing business depends on means, even if he is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he can't interfere with other people's business, this hand is too long, it will be annoying.
That's right, now those few cloth merchants who are competing at prices are secretly rolling their eyes at Chang Xi, thinking that she is too lenient, but in view of her trip to the capital, she actually came back with a seventh-grade official rank as a woman, and everyone only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, for fear of offending people, and she couldn't eat and walk around.
