Chapter 145: It's time for war
It's been a really busy time.
Everyone in Ewha Village does not stop.
Even Li Xiaoyue arranged things out, and would come to the workshop from time to time to take a look.
The busyness of Lihua Village even diluted the fighting spirit of the black clouds in Lanshan County.
It was cold, and Li Xiaoyue put on a thin sweater, which was knitted for her by her eldest daughter-in-law.
There are many maids and servants around the old lady of Gongsun, and they have long knitted sweaters for the old lady and Gongsun Lian.
"Satsuki, this sweater is really good." Mrs. Gongsun was full of praise, "It's not too cold now, wear a thin sweater, and when it's cold, you can wear a thick sweater." ”
Li Xiaoyue chuckled, "The last thing we lack here is wool." I'll make a lot of money for a year, and when the price comes down next year, more people can wear sweaters. ”
Old Madam Gongsun nodded, "Xiaoyue, let me give you a suggestion." While I don't mind wearing the same clothes as normal people, some people with eyes above the top don't. ”
"You make the best and softest wool from your sheep into the best wool and sell it at a high price to the rich and powerful. If you sell it cheaply, people won't want to buy it. ”
"The mid-range ones are sold to people with small assets; And then the rest of the ordinary, capable of making the most wool, is cheap and sold to ordinary people. ”
"In this way, you can not only make money, but also allow the people to have an extra piece of warm clothing."
"Otherwise, you don't. Next year, you won't be able to sell at a high price; Ordinary, ordinary people can't afford it. That's embarrassing. ”
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up, "Old lady, you wake up the person in your dream with a word." By next year, I'm sure to have a lot of competitors. ”
"How can you do better than them, you can start from what you just said, in terms of dyeing, in order to make different and better wool."
The old lady of Gongsun was also very happy to see that Li Xiaoyue could listen to her advice.
"Hehe, I'm shallow. Over the years, I have also managed my family's business, and I still have some experience. It's good to work for you. ”
When I came to Lihua Village, I thought I was not used to living, but now Mrs. Gongsun doesn't want to leave.
Sleep on a warm kang at night and get a good night's sleep.
When you get up in the morning, drink a cup of chrysanthemum tea that goes to the fire, and feel refreshed.
After these times of getting along, the relationship between Mrs. Gongsun and Li Xiaoyue's family has become closer.
Life is hectic, hard and fulfilling.
In the early morning of this day, a fast horse galloped from Lanshan County through Lihua Village.
Gongsun Lian and General Huo Shao came down from the Dongshan military camp and went straight to Lanshan County.
Niu Dazhuang got Gongsun Lian's advice and went straight to Lihua Village.
"Aunt Li, the major general and the military division street military report, the country has gathered 130,000 troops to besiege Zhenxi Pass."
"Eat, use, prepare. Don't go out at will, and if you do, be sure to go in a group. ”
Li Xiaoyue was shocked, "It's time to come, it's finally here." Da Zhuang, you should also be careful and protect Mr. Gongsun. When the busyness is over, Mr. Gongsun will come back and come to my side. ”
"Okay, I'll pass it on to the military advisor. Aunt Li rest assured, I will do my best to protect Mr. Gongsun. After Niu Dazhuang finished speaking, he was ready to leave.
"Chang Huan, give Da Zhuang the baked cake that he just made." Li Xiaoyue said to her daughter in the back.
Early in the morning, it was known that they had not eaten.
"Here we are." Li Changhuan put the salted meat baked cakes made at home in a food box and brought them to Niu Dazhuang.
Niu Dazhuang was also polite, and took it, "Thank you, Sister Changhuan." ”
"Brother Zhuang, be careful!" Li Changhuan waved his hand and watched Niu Dazhuang ride away.
"Don't worry, we're going to win." Niu Dazhuang smiled heartily, waved his hand, and galloped away.
Seeing Niu Dazhuang's back getting smaller and smaller, Li Xiaoyue didn't retract his gaze until he couldn't see it.
The war is the most cruel, and I hope that fewer people can die.
Li Xiaoyue came to the workshop, and only Wen Xiaolan was inside.
"Xiaolan, it's only you here, what about Changlu? Did you go inside the workshop? ”
Wen Xiaolan shook her head, "I don't patrol the workshop, I said that there is something to do in the county seat." ”
"Do you know what's going on?" Li Xiaoyue asked, frowning slightly.
It seems that the last time I came, Li Changlu was not there.
Wen Xiaolan shook her head again, "I don't know, I asked, and he didn't tell me." ”
"However, with what I know about the whole workshop and all the things about the wool trade, it shouldn't be a big deal."
"Humph!" Li Xiaoyue snorted coldly, "The workshop will work hard for you." ”
Li Changlu didn't do anything serious. He wants to die, but Li Xiaoyue won't stop him.
"How long will it take for the Qi family, the Qian family, and the Xie family's orders to be completed?"
Wen Xiaolan replied: "Back to Mrs., it will take half a month." According to my prediction, after completing the orders of the three companies, we can still make 2,000 catties of wool with the remaining wool. ”
"Shall we keep it for our own use, or will we sell it in the shop?"
Li Xiaoyue thought for a while, "Keep it all, if there are workers who want to buy it, they will sell it at half price, but they can only buy one pound per person." ”
"By the way, leave 500 catties for my family, use them for my own use, and give gifts."
"Yes, ma'am." Wen Xiaolan responded, seeing that Li Xiaoyue was a little nervous, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”
Li Xiaoyue sighed, "It's time for a war." ”
Wen Xiaolan chuckled in her heart, "Madam, can we win?" ”
"Yes!" Li Xiaoyue believed in Gongsun Lian and also believed in the power of gunpowder.
Wen Xiaolan breathed a long sigh of relief, "As long as you can win." ”
"This deed country, it is true, there will be wars every ten years, and many people die every time, aren't they afraid of death?"
Li Xiaoyue saw that Wen Xiaolan couldn't figure it out, so she patiently explained.
"It's nothing more than that after more than ten years of recuperation, the population of the Treaty Country has increased, and at the same time, internal contradictions have increased, and it has to fight."
Wen Xiaolan was stunned, "Isn't it just to come to Dayan to rob it?" ”
"That's just one aspect." Li Xiaoyue replied, "There are many people on the grassland, but the number of people who can feed on the grassland is certain. ”
"If there are more than the number, then by fighting. If we win the war and be able to grab the supplies, we will be able to alleviate the shortage in the country. ”
"If you lose, a lot of people die. In fact, they have also accomplished their purpose, after all, the number of people is reduced, and those materials on the grassland can meet their needs. ”
Hearing this, Wen Xiaolan was dumbfounded, "Madam, it turns out ...... War can still be like this! ”
"Calling back and forth, the biggest loss is our strictness!"
Li Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes, that's why there is a saying that if you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger." ”
Wen Xiaolan was thoughtful, and felt that she had learned again from Mrs. Li.
Li Changshou held a sharp dagger in his hand and rushed in from outside.
"Xiaolan, what do you see I brought you?"
"Mother, why are you here?"
Li Xiaoyue chuckled, "I think my mother is in the way, that's okay, I'll go." ”
"Mother!"
"Madame!"
Li Changshou and Wen Xiaolan spoke at the same time, and the two looked at each other again and turned their eyes away.
"Okay, you guys have something to talk about slowly, I still have something to do." Li Xiaoyue didn't wait for her third son and Wen Xiaolan to exit again, she went out.
She's a grandmother, but she can't be without eyesight!
