Chapter Ninety-Three: Deliberation
Many people have said that they want to come to Jiang Xi to customize mats, and I don't know how many there are, but after the flower banquet in Xiangfu, I believe that this mat must have a certain market.
Then the matter of preparing the mat needs to be put on the agenda. You can't place an order here, and you can't deliver the goods here.
According to Jiang Xi's meaning, the ordinary mat weaving does not need to be done by Jiang Anrao's family, just let the slaves on the ranch farm make it.
But in the beginning, someone needed to teach them how to weave slaves.
This is easy to say, Jiang's mother and grandfather Jiang Anrao can be taught.
Everyone still has to study how to arrange the other belongings of the family after the Jiang family's fiefdom is really sold.
There are many breeding horses, cattle, sheep and pigs, chickens, ducks and geese in the pasture, and the land on the farm has just been planted for more than a month, and there is still a while before the harvest.
In addition, there are hundreds of slaves who have to think about what to do.
Although it is said that you can sell all of them together, not to mention that the price is not necessarily cost-effective, and once some things are sold, it is difficult to buy them back.
For example, the stallion horses and cattle in the pasture are all available but not sought.
And the grain, if they sell all the grain they grow, what will their family eat and drink in the future?
They don't have a clear destination to go to at this time, but the family has to bring enough chews.
Not to mention that if you pay for food after you go to another place, it will invisibly cost a lot more money.
The most controversial were the slaves.
There were so many slaves in the ancestral home, on the ranch farm. Even if the family ran away, they had to be helped to take care of things, transport supplies and food, etc., and all of these needed slaves.
But if you don't have a ranch and have to travel, you don't need to take so many slaves with you.
You must know that although the lives of these slaves are not valuable, as long as they live, they must eat and drink.
Walking on the road, there is a world of difference between the amount of food and water consumed by 100 people and 300 people every day!
According to Jiang Xi and Jiang Chao's meaning, of course, when the ranch farm is sold, they will select a part of the slaves who are in good health and are young and strong to take on the road, and the rest will be left in the fiefdom, and the buyer will dispose of it.
But this kind of practice of throwing away after obviously being used, with a bit of abandonment, Jiang Dad does not agree.
Especially, when he already knew that after they left, the Song State might face the threat of war. Just threw down hundreds of people and left them to fend for themselves, Dad Jiang couldn't bear it.
In the end, neither party convinced anyone, and in the end, Jiang Xi said that he would study this issue after the farm and ranch were really sold and the grain was harvested.
Dad Jiang also agreed.
Jiang's father and Jiang Xi discussed Shang You's marriage again.
Shang You has no relatives in his family now, so as long as he agrees, then his marriage with Jiang Fu will be decided. When the third grandfather brings the girl over tomorrow, the two will meet, if they have no opinion, they will be hired according to the current customs, and they will choose a day to get married.
Jiang Chao watched the two Jiang Xi brothers finalize everything in a negotiated manner, and he was in a very happy mood. Rare praise of Jiang's father, the youngest son, a few words.
It's really out of the blue.
When things were almost discussed, Jiang Xi and Jiang Dad also said goodbye to Jiang Chao, left the main courtyard, and returned to their respective courtyards.
What Jiang Dad just said to Jiang Xi, Jiang Anrao and the others watched the whole process, so there was no information difference at this time, and they were also smoothing out their plans.
Of course, it is easy to go back to the ranch and teach the slaves how to weave mats. They can all go back, and the three of them will teach them as soon as possible.
Then Jiang Anrao promised to send Hua Kan Lejian and others peony flowers, of course, they had to talk, which also involved the sales of peony in the future.
She now has more than 100 pots of peony flowers, and she can definitely sell them for a fortune if she gets them.
Jiang Chiyu was inspired to shoot arrows today, and discussed with Jiang Anrao, and tomorrow he would find a blacksmith shop with better craftsmanship and create a batch of parts needed for sleeve arrows and Zhuge crossbows.
When the time comes, I will take the fifty or so people from the ranch to train with Zhuge crossbows. In the future, they ran away from the Song Kingdom, and along the way, the first batch of trained slaves such as Ti and others were the main force of their security.
In addition, Jiang Anrao got a big stone and came back, wanting to study the stone mill, but because of the delay in entering the city, I don't know if no one is staring, and the people in the ranch can make it according to the drawings.
The family discussed and decided to stay in Beibo City for two more days, to see if Hua Kan and others would send patterns to order mats, and then count the number of horse mat orders received by the store, and then go back to the ranch.
One night passed, and on the second day, Jiang Xi took Jiang Ruoyang to the shop, these years, the shop was run by Jiang Xi alone, in the past, the shop sold in addition to some home-grown cowhides, sheepskins, pigskins, and other categories, and then vegetables and grains from the family farm.
In the past few years, because Jiang Xi has led the team to run the business, there will be materials brought from other cities for sale from time to time. Not long ago, Jiang Xi came back from Daliang and brought some products from there, although the quantity was limited, but they were all sold at a good price, and they made a small profit.
Jiang Chiyu and Jiang Narao naturally wanted to follow Uncle Jiang Dad to join in the fun, and Jiang Ze's brothers and sisters were also stained, and they came out to play together this time.
Jiang's mother followed Fu Man to a fabric store.
This shop is the store of the Fu family, in addition to burlap, there is also silk brocade, selling not the top high-end materials, but it can be said that there are materials of various prices.
Nowadays, the shops that sell cloth do not make ready-made clothes, and people buy materials and go home to cut and sew clothes by themselves.
Yesterday, Jiang Anrao's family came to the city, but they didn't even have decent clothes, Jiang Xi took out his Fu Man's clothes and went to the ready-to-wear store to buy them, which allowed Jiang Anrao's family to cope with yesterday's banquet.
But in the future, you can't always rely on that one piece of clothing to make up for it.
already knew that his younger brother would not be the same as in the past, and he would sell it for money and squander it if he had a little piece of formal clothes, so Jiang Xi asked Fu Man to bring enough money today, and asked her to pull out a few more good horses and go home to make a few sets of decent clothes for her brother's family.
Here, Fu Man took Jiang's mother to pick out clothes and materials, and Jiang Xi and Jiang's father over there really received an order for customized mats.
This is all from Jiang Xi who greeted Jiang Xi at the family banquet yesterday. There are them in each mansion. Last night, Jiang Xi had already calculated the price according to the cost, and divided the price into several grades according to the material and the complexity of the production. From six dollars, to fifty or even a hundred dollars.
The people who came to order asked the price, some wrote down the price, went back to ask for instructions, and some weighed it and paid the money directly.
This is also the rule, you order something for people to do, of course, you have to pay a fixed amount first.
Most of them are dozens, and the patterns do not have special requirements, and they are all strong and durable. This kind of Jiang Xi recommends using a cushion of pampas reeds.
Jiang Ruoyang took the carving knife and bamboo chips, asked the identity of the person who placed the order, the quantity ordered, and how much money he paid, and then roughly told a pickup date.
The information was engraved on the bamboo piece, split in half, and half of it was handed over to the person who made the decision.
At that time, the goods will be picked up with bamboo chips.
