Chapter 264: King Wei Comes to Envoy

"Nonsense?"

Xiao Ming frowned, he hadn't thought about it before, but now that Aster said that he suddenly remembered. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The meaning of this is that the three are developed from the four virtues.

Now that these female workers say this, it is natural that some people say behind their backs that they go out all day and are not at home with their husbands and children.

"But no, for this reason, there are still many female workers who go home halfway, and the slave maid and maid have been in this textile workshop for three days, and either this one or that one will not come." Aster pouted, a little angry.

Xiao Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head, the feudal etiquette gave him color again, and he said: "In this case, this king will give you publicity in the newspaper, I believe that there are still many people who are enlightened, oh, by the way, how much do you pay this female worker?" ”

"Ninety dollars a month." Aster stretched out her little hand and gestured nine fingers.

"Thirty cents?" Xiao Ming was dumbfounded.

This penny can only buy two or two meters in Qingzhou today, and according to the price of modern rice, these two taels of rice are two cents.

It is equivalent to Aster only giving people a salary of six yuan a month or giving six catties of rice, and it is no wonder that these female workers are unstable, because this job is really chicken, it is a pity to abandon it, and it is tasteless to eat.

If it weren't for the fact that there were not many job opportunities in ancient times, it is estimated that people would not be willing to come.

Moreover, since ancient times, the people have been small-scale peasant economies, self-sufficient, male workers and women weavers, and they have 30 wen a month here, so it is better to go home and weave by themselves.

"What's the matter, Your Highness? Is it too much? Aster looked innocent.

Luluo couldn't help but say at this time: "Sister, you are usually smart, why can't you figure it out this time?" Your Highness is disgusted, the reason why those female workers can come is because this textile workshop is opened by His Highness, and the people in the city only agreed to come because of His Highness's reputation. ”

Xiao Ming patted the pothos on the head, and said with a smile: "The pothos is smarter than you, you are used to being a housekeeper, and you are the same as Qian Dafu, you are getting more and more picky, so let's do it, this king is in charge, this female worker is paid one or two taels of silver a month." ”

"A tael of silver, Your Highness, that's too much." Aster looked distressed, "This silver is all from the palace." ”

Xiao Ming said: "Then the king asked you, how much do you plan to sell a cotton jacket?" ”

Speaking of this, Aster's eyes gurgled and she said with a smile: "At least three taels of silver?" ”

"So how much does a padded jacket cost?" Xiao Ming asked again.

"Plus the wages of the female workers, at most two taels of silver."

"That's it, now there are a total of 100 female workers in the textile mill, 30 pieces a day, which is equivalent to a month The textile mill can net 900 taels of silver, if there are 1,000 female workers, you can earn 9,000 taels of silver a month, which is a lot." Xiao Ming said.

Aster suddenly came back to her senses, and she said, "Yes, the most important thing now is to recruit people. ”

Xiao Ming nodded, "That's right, one tael of silver a month, twelve taels of silver a year is equal to a season's harvest, do you think they are willing to come?" ”

"Well, what Your Highness said is that since this is the case, Your Highness will write this in the newspaper for Aster." Aster said excitedly.

Xiao Ming nodded, now that the new city wall is about to be built, it will be difficult for the barbarians to capture this city, and now he can finally free up his hands to vigorously develop industry.

frolicked with the two girls for a while, and at this time, the family passed that an envoy from the king of Wei asked to see him outside the door and gave the message to Xiao Ming.

"Envoy of the King of Wei?" Xiao Ming frowned.

Since the last time they were separated in Chang'an, he and the king of Wei had cut off contact, but it is said that the king of Wei had been begging Xiao Wenxuan for the matter of artillery, and he was very urgent, and frequently moved out the reason for the Japanese to attack and harass the coast.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Ming said, "Let him in." ”

When the family went, the aster and pothos automatically avoided it.

After a while, a man in white walked towards him under the guidance of his family.

Seeing this white-clothed man from a distance, Xiao Ming suddenly had an illusion, feeling that this person seemed to have seen it somewhere, but when he looked closely, he couldn't remember it.

"His Majesty the Throne of Wei, Chief Shi Xiaoqi has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qi?" The man in white said when he saw Xiao Ming.

"Your surname is Xiao?" Xiao Ming frowned, "Could it be that you are from the Xiao clan in Nanyang?" ”

The man in white still said respectfully: "Back to Your Highness, I am not a person from the Xiao family in Nanyang, there are many people surnamed Xiao in the world, and there is only a small people." ”

"Really?" Xiao Ming looked suspicious, "At a young age, now he is the long history of the Three Emperor Uncles, if he is not a member of the Xiao family in Nanyang, he is a person who is amazing." ”

"His Royal Highness praised it falsely, but it was a fluke to get the favor of King Wei." Xiao Qi said.

Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Qi again, and no longer asked about his private affairs, but asked, "Uncle Three Emperors sent you here, what is the matter?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, it is for the sake of artillery, His Royal Highness the King of Wei has obtained the emperor's approval, and I hope His Royal Highness can sell the artillery to the King of Wei." Xiao Qi is colorful.

"When?"

"His Royal Highness has been going to Cangzhou for several months this time, and the emperor agreed to this matter as early as a month ago."

Xiao Ming's brows furrowed more and more, and he said, "Father really still feels sorry for the Third Emperor Uncle. ”

At this time, the white-clothed prince said: "Your Highness is wrong, this time it is not that the emperor feels sorry for His Royal Highness the King of Wei, but that the coastal widows are in serious trouble, just when His Royal Highness is in Cangzhou, there are 30,000 Japanese robbers who landed in Yandu Prefecture and captured Cangping County in the territory, and thousands of people in the city were slaughtered and reduced to a nest of Japanese robbers. ”

"Hahaha......" Xiao Ming couldn't stop laughing when he heard this, and said unceremoniously: "Just 30,000 widows made the Three Emperor Uncle so panicked, so this king faces an army of 100,000 barbarians, isn't it the responsibility of the king of Wei to pee his pants, who in the world doesn't know the richness of Wei, the strength of the soldiers and horses, and the loss of Cangping County, isn't it the responsibility of the king of Wei?" ”

The white-clothed boy was suffocated, the battle of Cangzhou, the world said that the king of Qi was righteous, this time, he also persuaded him with righteousness, wanting Xiao Ming to provide artillery to the king of Wei as soon as possible, but he didn't expect Xiao Ming to mention the country's righteousness at this time, but reprimanded the king of Wei for dereliction of duty, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xiao Ming smiled secretly in his heart, he knew the tricks of the man in white clearly.

Since Xiao Wenxuan agreed to King Wei's request, then the King of Chu in the south must be logical, and now that raw rice has become cooked rice, he can only accept this transaction.

However, it is impossible to use any national righteousness to make him sell artillery cheaply, because compared to him, these vassal kings are a joke in front of him.
