0541 A Day in the Life of a Family (Friday)

Xiaozhu nodded vigorously and said, "Miss is really kind! Uncle and Miss Zhang must be very happy to find out! 「

Then Xiaozhu finished packing up the items in the study, and the two said goodbye to the female guard guarding the door, and went straight to the kitchen. Especially Xiaozhu is a little more eager, because today the chef tried to make a new snack and said let her try it!

Zhang Peijia has a separate lounge on the top floor of Liansheng Bank. The lounge is divided into two rooms, the inner room is her own separate space, and the outer room is the lounge for Xiaozhu and the four female guards.

After eating and resting for a while, Zhang Peijia came to a large conference room. This large conference room has a long table with sixteen chairs around the table. At the end of the table is still a huge screen, and behind it is Zhang Peijia's position.

After Zhang Peijia sat down behind the screen, she commanded, "Let everyone come in."

A female guard agreed to go out and call someone, and then nine people came in one after another, eight of these nine people were dressed as shopkeepers, and what was surprising was that there was actually a female shopkeeper in men's clothes! As for the other one, it is the master's dress.

After these people entered the door, they first bowed their hands to the screen and said, "I've seen the owner/I've seen Miss Zhang!"

Immediately, Zhang Peijia's voice came from behind the screen, saying, "You have worked hard, please sit down!"

After everyone sat down, Zhang Peijia didn't even say a kind word, and said directly, "Let's talk about each other's situations."

The shopkeeper closest to the screen was the first to say, "In the past five days, there have been three ships arriving at the dock, and the things they have brought are very miscellaneous. The largest quantity of these was rice, with a total of 480 koku,......

As soon as he said this, Zhang Peijia interjected and said, "Shopkeeper Li, where is this batch of rice going?"

The shopkeeper, surnamed Su, was in charge of managing the docks, and he was not surprised to be interrupted, and sat there relaxedly, which seemed to be a frequent occurrence. The shopkeeper who was named said loudly: "Owner, this batch of rice has all been transferred to the chief of Tianjin County to close the position!" It's a parity!"

Zhang Peijia said by name again, "Master Huang, has the county government received the goods?"

It turned out that the person dressed as this master was actually the master of the county order, and judging by the way he was familiar with everyone, it should not be the first time he had participated in this kind of meeting. I saw him bow slightly and say, "Miss Zhang, our county government has received the rice!" Moreover, just fifteen days ago, the Chang Guan of Tianjin County had already released a batch of grain, and now the price of grain in Tianjin County has dropped by two cents!"

Zhang Peijia immediately said, "Good, very good! However, I still have to bother Master Huang to continue to pay attention to the grain prices in Tianjin County! Now there are more and more people gathered in Tianjin County, and there will be more in the future! If food prices rise for a long time, it is easy to cause a big mess!"

Master Huang nodded and said, "Miss Zhang, don't worry, I will personally inquire about this matter in the future."

The shopkeeper at the wharf also said, "Don't worry, the owner has sent people to greet the ships coming and going, and asked them to carry as much rice as possible when they come back from the south. It's not a lot to bring in each ship, but it's a lot of money!"

At this time, the shopkeeper opposite the shopkeeper Su said, "During this time, the yamen has counted that more than 300 people have entered Tianjin County this month than last month. And it continues to increase, indicating that food will be a big problem in the future! And I remember that my uncle once said when he gave us a lecture that special products could be subsidized. Do you think we can consider subsidizing products such as rice grains?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the screen in front of Zhang Peijia. After a while, I heard Zhang Peijia say slowly, "Don't think about the subsidy for the time being! Now that the price of grain in Tianjin is quite stable, it is enough to keep an eye on it. Shopkeeper Su, please continue."

The others didn't have any expressions, but Master Huang was a little disappointed. After all, if the price of food falls, it is beneficial to the local area and the official reputation of the county order! And if there is more food, his opportunity to do things will come! But Zhang Peijia didn't give him a chance!

Hearing the order, Shopkeeper Su immediately began to report, during which he was interrupted and questioned several times. But he was still very fluent in the answers. After all, he was in charge of the docks, and almost all business matters were involved

joint, so he reported the longest.

Then there were several shopkeepers who reported one after another, and then it was the turn of the female shopkeeper. She cleared her throat and said, "Boss, the garment factory needs more manpower! The reason is that the navy and the Wu'an army have recently expanded again, and the number of people is not much more than before! It's okay to say that those training uniforms are always in short supply, after all, these soldiers are always broken all day long! So the slave family thought. Is it a priority to select some women from among the displaced people who have just come to Tianjin? So they have an income to support a large family, but these people don't have a guarantee, that's a problem!"

Zhang Peijia pondered for a moment and then said categorically: "You must not recruit from among them first, you must give priority to selecting women from Tianjin and the surrounding areas!"

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, and Master Huang was even more surprised! From the homeless people, the Zhao woman is working, or the idea he gave to the female shopkeeper just now! As long as there is income, the homeless people will not make trouble if they do not starve to death, and the performance of the county order can be raised! So he grabbed in front of the female shopkeeper and asked, "Miss Zhang, why is this happening?" You should be able to see the benefits of this! It's not just about recruiting workers, it may involve a lot of people living around!"

Zhang Peijia said, "Master Huang, don't worry, there is a lot of work in Tianjin, as long as you are not a lazy person, you can't starve to death! The reason why we give priority to selecting from the local is because we can't let the locals feel that the later people are more blessed than us! You must know that Tianjin is the fundamental place of the uncle, and you must have a good relationship with the people here, so that they can have a sense of superiority, so that they can be oriented to the uncle. However, if there is any difficulty, it can be dealt with at your discretion."

Everyone nodded their heads in understanding when they heard Zhang Peijia's explanation, and Master Huang also accepted it convincingly. Then the female shopkeeper continued: "There is one more thing, the owner, our workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and there are many big girls and little daughters-in-law in it. Now that the caretaker is a bit understaffed, can you ask the owner to send some more female guards?"

Zhang Peijia said, "This is okay. When I went back, I told my uncle and asked her to choose some women among the children of military households to be placed directly in the factory. The girls from those military families also know some guns and sticks, and they are related to many people in the workshop, so they are more at ease to use!"
