Chapter 142: Good Wine and Good Food Are Enough
Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes." ”
"Our Qian family firm is in Fucheng, and there is a wine shop." The shopkeeper replied, "If Mrs. Li wants it, I'll pull it over." ”
Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Okay." ”
Seeing this, Manager Qi was worried that the wool was not enough, "Mrs. Li, isn't this good?" If you want to buy alcohol, we can buy it for money. ”
Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips and chuckled, "The autumn harvest will end soon, and the workers will soon be able to come to work." When the time comes, the working hours will be extended, the wages will be paid more, and the output will be able to rise. ”
Since Li Xiaoyue said so, Steward Qi couldn't stop Li Xiaoyue from doing business with others.
The shopkeeper didn't stay for dinner, and immediately rushed back to the county seat.
Prepare to go to Fucheng early tomorrow morning, and deliver as much wine and food as you can.
Waiting for the others to leave, Li Xiaoyue looked at Li Changlu, "When did you go to the county seat?" ”
Li Changlu smiled, "I heard from my eldest brother that the Wang Family Silk Village also sells wool, so I'll go and take a look, and by the way, I will go to the Qi family merchants to walk around." ”
"When I learned that the shopkeeper of Qian Da came to our house, Steward Qi hurried with me."
"Hmm!" Li Xiaoyue nodded, "It's good to be able to take the initiative to communicate with customers." However, Li Changlu, you remember it for me, it's okay to eat and drink, but I can't bear to gamble. ”
"You have to remember for me, don't walk when you see a beautiful woman, and don't gamble just to be angry with others, or to show off."
Li Changlu was a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly promised, "Mother, don't worry, I will never come nonsense." ”
Wen Xiaolan followed Li Xiaoyue out of the office, and she whispered, "Madam, I just felt that the second young master seemed to be lying. ”
"You see that, too?" Li Xiaoyue asked rhetorically, although Li Changlu covered it up well, she could see that she was weak-hearted.
"Are you going to investigate?" Wen Xiaolan asked, she grew up in a place like Qinglou since she was a child, and she has developed a pair of eyes to see the essence through phenomena.
Li Xiaoyue waved her hand, "No, I said all the good and bad things, but he still went down the wrong path, which can only mean that he didn't teach him enough." ”
"In that case, let him make a big deal outside so that he can be taught a lesson."
Wen Xiaolan nodded, "It's useless to call people a hundred times, but to teach people, just once." ”
Li Xiaoyue smiled, looking at Wen Xiaolan's eyes full of smiles.
"Yes, that's the truth. These children in my family all have more or less shortcomings, and they have to be tempered. ”
"I can teach them for a while, I can't teach them for a lifetime, and I can't protect them for a lifetime. The road is under your own feet, and you need to walk it yourself. ”
Wen Xiaolan thought thoughtfully, "Yes, only by summarizing mistakes can we make progress." I'm going to get stronger, too, and my enemies are now climbing the high branches, and they can take revenge on me at any time. ”
"Wen Niangzi?" Li Xiaoyue blinked, "Isn't she Liu Yunde's concubine?" ”
"It used to be, but not anymore." Wen Xiaolan replied, "I inquired with Liu Yunde's cook, and Widow Wang asked Mrs. Wen to serve Mrs. Fan, and Mrs. Fan asked Mrs. Wen to leave the next day." ”
"Oh, I see." Li Xiaoyue pursed her lips and smiled, "In Lihua Village, you can rest assured that no one will bully you." Go to Lanshan County, there are people around, and it's okay. ”
Wen Xiaolan nodded, "Well, thank you Madame for your protection." ”
That night, Li Xiaoyue found Li Laohan, "Dad, let's start work as soon as possible." ”
Li Laohan looked puzzled, "There is so much wool backlog in the warehouse, there is no need to start work." ”
"Today, the Jinling Qian family and the Qi family are here, and they want to order our family's wool." Li Xiaoyue replied, "The Qian family has 50,000 catties in one mouth, and the Qi family will not be less." ”
"Yikes! So much, that's not tens of thousands of taels of silver! Li Laohan's eyes lit up, and he stopped drinking wine, "Sanqiang, send people to various villages, and if you are busy at home, come back to work quickly." ”
Li Xiaoyue added, "Before the order of the two families is completed, the salary will be doubled. ”
Li Sanqiang's footsteps staggered, "Sister-in-law, that's four taels of silver a month!" ”
"Sanqiang, our wool is five taels of silver for one catty, and if we can make 50,000 catties this month, it will be 250,000 taels of silver."
Li Sanqiang stomped his feet, "Sister-in-law, you're right." There aren't many good opportunities like this, and we can't miss them. ”
Seeing Li Sanqiang walking out of the house, Li Xiaoyue said again: "Dad, the shopkeeper of Qi Da is very attentive in this transaction, and he has sent us a lot of food and medicinal materials to trade with us." ”
"Ouch, this big shopkeeper is doing a good job, and doing business is in our hearts." Li Laohan laughed, "This big shopkeeper can handle it." ”
"Hmm!" Li Xiaoyue responded, "Jinling is a prosperous place, and there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”
People from several surrounding villages, after hearing that their wages had doubled, did not want to miss such a good opportunity, so they left some people to work at home, and almost all the female workers came to work.
In the past, the mother-in-law in the family scolded her daughter-in-law for eating idle meals all day long, but now she doesn't dare to scold.
Today's female workers earn two taels of silver a month, which is no less than that of a man who works as a coolie, not to mention that now her salary has doubled and earned more.
The old woman not only stopped scolding her daughter-in-law, but also took the initiative to cook, do housework, and take care of the children, so that the daughters-in-law could do things in the workshop without distraction.
There is an old lady Liu in Liujia Village next door, who has six daughters-in-law.
She used to be very mean, but now she shushes her daughter-in-law and asks for warmth, and she no longer scolds.
Because of Li Xiaoyue's relationship, Lijia Village allowed his daughter-in-law to have private money, so she also followed suit.
Half of the monthly salary is paid in the public middle school, and the old man and the old lady are responsible for the housework, food, and work in the fields, and the other half is saved by the son and daughter-in-law.
This rule has also been extended to several surrounding villages.
Everyone is a little empty, so they want to do more work, make more money, and have a good mental outlook.
The next day, almost all the women came.
In some cases, after the farm work was done, the male workers also took the initiative to come back and obey the arrangement.
Some people have not yet had good crops, and they have paid relatives to help with the work, and they come to the workshop to do things.
For a time, Lihua Village began vigorous production again.
I used to work five hours a day, but now I work seven hours.
Li Xiaoyue made lunch and dinner here, and when she got off work in the evening, she was also a village where people went home together, and there was meat, white flour cakes, steamed buns, and enough rice.
Li Xiaoyue also knows that everyone works hard, but it is only this time to make money.
Take advantage of the opportunity. When the order is done, it's time to rest.
Li Xiaoyue not only pays everyone wages, but also gives bonuses, meat, food, and fabrics.
Seven days later, the shopkeeper of Qi arrived to escort a lot of grain to Lanshan County.
Li Xiaoyue informed Gongsun Lian and asked him to help store this batch of grain. Twenty percent of them were transported to Ewha Village.
These are all good rice, which can be sold to the workers of the workshop at a penny cheaper than the market price.
This year, there is a lot of wages, and the workers are willing to spend money to buy food.
This year, I have eaten fine grains, and I can still eat enough.
Although the work is tiring, everyone is full of energy.
The treasurer brought over 3,000 jars of sorghum wine, which were worth 12,000 taels of silver at the market price. In addition, he also bought some medicinal herbs and food, and scraped together enough things for 28,000 taels.
The things are counted and the price is completed.
The shopkeeper of Qi and the shopkeeper of Qian came to Lihua Village in a daze and began to talk about business with their own skills.
