Chapter 621: High Hopes

Liang Song stood outside the Liufujiao Gate, looked up at the gloomy cumulus clouds over Chang'an City, and hesitated slightly.

At this time, of course, he knew that the master who had signed a ten-year employment contract with him was the future princess of Jin, so he was still a little helpless and completely turned into joy, he was a real ordinary businessman, and he was not familiar with the personnel of the court, he did not know the difficult situation of the King of Jin, only knew that he could climb the royal family, which was a blessing for ordinary people.

Eleven Niang asked him to hire more embroidery workers, and he immediately hired a few people with a lot of money, but Eleven Niang said that at least twenty people were needed, which made Liang Song a little difficult, because it was close to the end of the year, even if it was a short-term contract with the clothing shop embroidery workshop, most of them would wait until the New Year before they would move to the new owner's home - eight out of ten merchants in Da Zhou would distribute profits at the beginning of the year, and the hired workers would be busy all year round, at least waiting for this benefit to arrive.

Not to mention the embroidery workshop in Chang'an City, and the employment of fewer short-term employees, it is indeed very difficult for Liang Song, a small businessman, to increase dozens of people for a while.

But he was anxious to show his talents in front of Eleven Niang, and he had to overcome difficulties, so he thought about it carefully at home, and thought that he had a familiar tooth line when he was doing business in Luoyang, so he took a trip with the idea of giving it a try, but the matter was really successfully done by him.

But what Liang Song didn't expect was that he had only been away from Beijing for about thirty days, and when he came back, he heard that a few days later it would be the wedding of King Jin's concubine, and not only that, King Jin would go to the vassal immediately after marriage!

How good is this, although Eleven Niang has arranged another steward, but the steward said, he is only responsible for preventing bullies from picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and he does not interfere in commercial affairs, and now seeing that the personnel are in place, the dowry has spent a lot of money, but the clothing shop is still closed, when can I take orders again, and how to operate in the future, these affairs must be given a direction by the main family, but Eleven Niang is about to get married, and how can I worry about these trivial matters?

Although Eleven Niang sent someone to tell his wife to go to Liufu immediately after returning to Beijing, Liang Song only had time to change into clean clothes, so he rushed to Liufu non-stop, and came to the door, but he was not sure whether this was in line with etiquette.

He was hesitating, but a porter took the initiative to ask, learned the name of the visitor, and let him go to the door without saying a word, Liang Song stepped into this high-door mansion in the clouds, and was not in the mood to wait and see the grandeur of the wealthy family, and was led to a flower hall with his head covered, until Eleven Niang met him, and after saying those words, Liang Songfang woke up like a dream, but he was stunned.

"What the little lady said just now is to let the villain go to Taiyuan?"

"Exactly, I took over the Ni Zhen Clothing Workshop for a temporary purpose, and I don't want the Queen Mother to have a decree to let His Royal Highness go to the domain, so the Ni Zhen Clothing Workshop will naturally move to Taiyuan." Eleven Niang's head.

Liang Song only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, and hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth: "The little lady doesn't know, although Taiyuan is not far away, and the business was second only to Luoyang in the past, in the end, it has not been as prosperous as Kyoto, and now there is a war in northern Xinjiang, which has caused panic among people, and many people in Jinshuo have even fled from their hometowns, and many businessmen in Jinyang City have also ended their industries, which ...... In the villain's opinion, it is more appropriate to open Ni Zhen Clothing Shop in Kyoto. ”

In order to persuade the eleventh mother, Liang Song simply made it clear: "Don't hide it from the little lady, this time the villain went to Luoyang, and the reason why he was able to hire all the people smoothly was because many employees who originally made a living in Jinyang City went to Luoyang to find another way out because of the completion of the master's family." ”

"You don't need to worry about profits, I have my own plans, not only will I not lose money, but I will ...... Your current 20 or so employees are far from enough, and when you stay in Jinyang, Steward Liang will still have to focus on recruiting people. ”

Liang Song was completely stunned.

"Steward Liang has to be prepared, in the future, there may be hundreds, or even thousands, of employees in the Nizhen Clothing Workshop."

Liang Song: !!

"Of course, it will take a process, but before the reopening of the shop, I think there should be at least 100 employees." Eleven Niang didn't seem to notice Liang Song's surprise, and said to herself: "At present, these twenty people have to bother Liang Steward to send them to Shangqingguan and hand them over to Qiao Niang for training, because of the urgency of the schedule, the order received by the clothing shop in the past should not be completed in time before His Royal Highness goes to the domain, but you signed a contract with the guest before, and the date of delivery is also scheduled to be in the next year, but I am not in a hurry, I have sent someone to explain to the buyer, although the clothing workshop will move to Taiyuan, but before the agreed date, the custom dress will be delivered, Although the current order is not hand-embroidered by the steward and Qiao Niang, it cannot be shoddy. ”

Liang Song left in a fog than when he came, and when he left Liufu, he led the horse out of the long distance, and muttered to himself: "Thousands of hired workers, how is this possible?" is really a noble girl from a wealthy family, how do you know that the world is difficult? Today, the largest clothing workshop in Chang'an City is only a few dozen employees. ”

It's not that Liang Song looks forward and backward, it is true that at this time, the clothing workshop is mainly aimed at ordinary mansions, those who can't afford to support the clothes embroiderers, but have spare money to spend on clothes, even though Qiao Niang has a unique job, attracting a lot of high-ranking ladies, at most dozens of hired workers are enough, thousands of hired workers? How is this going to be profitable? And not to open the shop in Chang'an, but in Taiyuan, where business is now withering? !

Liang Song suddenly became anxious about his future.

Eleven Niang turned around and left this matter behind, because she had just returned to the boudoir, she was caught by the nurse Fu Yuan, and a series of nagging: "Little lady, seeing that it is only a few days to welcome the ceremony, how can you still be idle, thinking about meeting outsiders all day long?" ”

Fu Yuan was really anxious, and actually swept away the cautious words and deeds of the past and complained to the master: "According to the common etiquette, the little lady always has to sew a robe for His Royal Highness, and the wedding date is set in a hurry, and the old slave hardly sees the little lady all day, how should this be born?" ”

The Queen Mother only set the wedding date on September 16, and the wedding was scheduled for the fifth day of November.

She didn't even need to prepare a wedding dress, because she was an officially canonized princess, and she had her own palace to make dresses.

"What Grandma said is a common etiquette, Your Highness doesn't need me to make a dress for him." Eleven Niang said as a matter of course.

"The regular clothes always have to be prepared for His Royal Highness, although there are slaves and maids, even if the little lady is to meet the occasion, at least she has to use the needle and thread." Fu Yuan was very persistent.

Eleven Niang had no choice but to take over the long coat that had basically been completed, and really only moved the needle and thread, so she smiled and handed it to Fu Yuan: "Okay, this can be regarded as the right situation?" Grandma don't insist, if I move a few more stitches, maybe this dress really can't be worn. ”

Eleven Niang is a typical "limb is not diligent", and her fingers hurt when she saw the needle and thread.

Fu Yuan was still irritable, and she didn't want Cao Yuan to invite Shi Niang, saying that Mrs. Tai had something to say, and Shi Niang was like seeing a savior, and she followed Cao Yuan away, leaving Fu Yuan behind her and sighing again and again.

Although the most important granddaughter got married, but because of the general reason, Mrs. Tai did not come forward to help, but she asked Shi Niang to come to her today, but she had a big gift.

"In case the Queen Mother is suspicious, I can't prepare a thick makeup for you, although there is another gift from the palace, those jewelry, jade, silk and silk are all made inward, can not be changed, and it does not have much effect on you, and the fields and other industries are too conspicuous, so I secretly exchanged these for exchange, rest assured, after several procedures, there will be no clues, you arrive in Jinyang, so that people can take it out, in case of emergency."

The so-called exchange, similar to the bill of exchange, was originally for the convenience of business - merchants from all over the world to Kyoto to sell goods, carrying a large number of coins is not convenient and unsafe, so the merchants can hand over the coins to the relevant institutions in Beijing, receive a half-copy ticket, and send the other half-copy back to the relevant institutions in various places, after the businessman returns to the region, verified to be consistent, you can exchange the coin, and later, in addition to the imperial court set up institutions, some wealthy merchants also opened a joint number, acting as a substitute.

Nowadays, the use of convenient exchange has been very widespread, in addition to businessmen, officials returning to Beijing or returning to their hometowns, but also through this way, since Mrs. Tai wants to hide people's eyes, of course, not through official channels, after Eleven Niang arrives in Jinyang, as long as she is cautious, it will not cause any risk.

It's just that although Eleven Niang is in urgent need of money, when she looks at the amount of the ticket, she only feels hot - Mrs. Tai is acting fairly, and it is impossible for this money to be used in the public and family property, I am afraid that it is all her private savings.

"Mother, this ...... It was too heavy for Shu Yiyi to take it. ”

Mrs. Tai chuckled and said, "I keep this money, can I still bring it to the coffin?" Not to mention that many of them are still profitable for you in previous years, Yiyi, what you did was not for your own selfishness, it was related to the life and death of the Jingzhaoliu family, and the eldest mother can't help you a lot now, what kind of weight is this, if you refuse, I will not be able to feel at ease. ”

Without waiting for Eleven Niang to refuse more, Mrs. Tai simply ended the topic: "Your mother and I have long been attentive and have chosen some servants and maids for you, all of whom are loyal, but I also understand that these people you can't be regarded as henchmen for the time being, at least on the bright side, how to use your own measurements, I thought, although your nurse Fu Shi will not have two hearts, but her temperament is too rigid and big mistakes, and many things can't help you, Cao Shi is the old man next to me, not to mention acting steadily and loyally, I let her follow TingSecretly can also help you. ”

Cao Yuan is Mrs. Tai's maidservant, and she has been following Mrs. Tai for decades, so she is reluctant to give even Qi Niang and Jiu Niang, but Mrs. Tai is ...... Eleven Niang was grateful, but she was short of words, so she could only bow down and thank her.

She will never forget the kindness of many relatives of Jing Zhaoliu, and she will not forget Liu Guifei, who gave up her life for the Pei Zheng family, it is of course God's favor to be able to get a new life, and what is more valuable is that these relatives and friends who have been helping her, how can she Pei Wudan He De, so that she can only prostrate and bow her grace, and solemnly swear: "Auntie, I will not forget my responsibility in Mei." ”

has insisted on being calm and steady for many years, but Eleven Niang choked up at this moment.
