The night is silent, and the winter is cold.

Wang Guiniang in her arms was sleeping sweetly, with a satisfied smile on her plain face, and the slight breathing sound like a kitten made Li Jing feel extremely calm. Carefully pulling out the numb arm that had already been pressed by her, Li Jing carefully pulled the quilt to help her cover it tightly. Gui Niang was like a sleeping kitten, she seemed to be immersed in a beautiful dream, muttered a few times in her mouth, and immediately fell asleep quietly.

Reaching out and gently rubbing his numb arm, Li Jing was extremely awake in the dark, without the slightest sense of sleep. With a glimmer of moonlight shining through the window, Li Jing half-leaned on the head of the bed and looked carefully at his sleeping wife. This woman is so affectionate and even scorching to him, but he has always been a little distant from her. He still remembers how happy she was on the wedding night, the pain of parting in his eyes when he left the army, and the joy when he said goodbye after marriage. Even the hostility and inferiority complex she felt when she saw Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang, Li Jing could see it clearly.

Although Li Jing returned home during this time, except for the few days when she just came back, Li Jing was actually busy all the time, and she didn't have time to talk to her properly. During the day, he was busy with various things, and at night, because Han was worried about his health, he let them sleep separately. Maybe it was after the big birthday, the Han family finally got into the mood of being anxious to hug his grandson again, and today the Han family took the initiative to speak again, asking Gui Niang to move back to Li Jing's room, and even Wan Niang was sent to move over.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, after an intimacy, the grievances and worries in Wang Guiniang's heart are gone, and the rest is satisfaction and joy.

In his sleep, he muttered softly, "Husband, don't leave the concubine." Li Jing heard this sentence clearly, but his heart was heavy. Gui Niang's face could be faintly seen in the dark, and the two willow eyebrows were twisted together, as if she was experiencing a nightmare. Li Jing hurriedly reached out to hug her and gently stroked her black hair. Wang Guiniang is actually good-looking, with a goose egg face, two willow eyebrows, a cherry mouth, a small and delicate nose but a straight nose, and a pair of big eyes with thick eyelashes. Earlier, because of the poor situation of the Wang family and famine, when she first married into the Li family, she was still a little yellow and hungry. Now that the Li family has been revitalized, her life has improved, and her nutrition has kept up, she has also changed a lot. It has become white and plump, especially the chest has swelled a lot, the face and neck have also become a lot whiter, and the whole person has completely changed. Li Jing was surprised to find out at this moment that this wife, who used to be very spicy, was also so good-looking, although it was not a heavenly fragrance, but it also had a very simple chic.

Li Jing was a little thirsty, and the previous clouds and rain consumed a lot of his physical strength. didn't call Wan'er, who was sleeping outside, he got up and went down to the ground softly. As soon as I arrived at the table to get the teapot, there was a noise in the dark, and Wan'er had already put on her clothes on the bed in one corner.

"Husband, you can't eat cold tea when it's cold, you wait a minute, the concubine will go and reheat a pot."

Looking at this considerate and busy thin figure, Li Jing couldn't help but feel pity. Stretched out his hand and pulled her back to the bed and stuffed her back into the quilt: "It's just a sip of tea, where is it so exquisite, but you have to pay attention to yourself, if it's frozen, it's terrible." Wan'er was very obedient and lay on the bed, just looking at Li Jing and smiling. Li Jing reached out and gently rubbed her still thin face, and sighed lightly.

Speaking of which, although Wan'er became his concubine, if you really want to talk about it, in fact, this Nizi's life can be regarded as good. After all, when her family came to Dengju from Silla, they fled the famine. A foreign land, difficult to come. She was not sold to Renyazi like other fellow villagers, and she was better than her sisters, although she was given away as slaves and maids together, and it was the good Li family who ended up in it. Not only has she been raised as a daughter over the years, but now she is married to Li Jing as a concubine, and the Li family, whether it is the Han family or Li Jing, or Li Jing's wife Gui Niang, is good to her.

"Sleep, I see you're very busy these days."

These days, this girl is also very busy. Since Li Jing recruited those homeless people that day, Li Hui'er and Yu Youniang suddenly became interested in these homeless people, and at first they just watched those hungry children can't bear to send some clothes and food to eat. Later, the two of them pulled Wang Yueying and Xiao Yulou, and then Wang Guiniang and Wan'er, to organize the families of those homeless people to make shoes for those trained families and recruits.

Originally, the recruited families and recruits were training, and the craftsmen and the families of the displaced people were idle for a while. Li Jing saw Li Huier and they were making a fuss, but she also thought that their ideas were good. Li Jing originally planned to build a quilt workshop first, using the families of those displaced people to uniformly dress up the newly recruited recruits and their families. At that moment, he simply handed over this matter to a few women who loved to toss, and originally thought that Li Hui'er, Yu Youniang, and Xiao Yulou, these little ladies, were just a whim. After Li Huier got the style of the military uniforms set by Li Jing for the recruits, she directly brought Wang Yueying, pulled a large amount of cloth from her cloth village, and then borrowed a lot of tailors from the cloth village, and then organized the female dependents of those homeless people to make military uniforms.

Not to mention, this matter made them very impressive, and even Wan'er and Wang Guiniang and other little daughters-in-law and eldest girls in Wang Li Village were also involved.

Wan'er nodded, but she was reluctant to let go of Li Jing's hand, and stopped talking.

"You don't have anything to say to me, just say something."

Wan'er hesitated again and again, but it turned out to be her mother's business. Wan'er's family was originally from Silla, and when she was young, her family fled the desert and crossed the sea to Dengzhou, and there were eight brothers and sisters, and they couldn't raise them, so they sent her and her four sisters to nearby families with better fortunes as slaves. Because of Li Jing's sudden imprisonment, Li's mother arranged for Wan'er to stay in prison and become Li Jing's concubine. Unexpectedly, the Li family immediately revitalized the family. Because of this, she suddenly changed from a slave to a general's concubine. When Li Jing was in Dengzhou, he sent back a lot of money and food to his family, and the Han family once took a lot of money and asked Wan'er to take it back to her parents' house. Although the money and food they got back improved the life of their mother's family, the sisters still worked as slaves and maids in other people's homes.

"Why didn't you say this earlier, since your four sisters are all in the nearby Good House, it is not difficult to deal with this matter. I'll send a few family members to go from house to house tomorrow with the post, and each family will give a sum of money, and they will definitely send people back with a good book. ”

Wan'er sobbed excitedly, threw herself into Li Jing's arms, and hugged her tightly. Li Jing had to pat her back to soothe her and calm her excitement, and it took a long time to calm her to sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Jing was stopped by the furious Li Huier as soon as she went out, and she was directly dragged to the quilt workshop of several of them.

"The workshop is about to move to Salmon Island, and we need to summarize and arrange the affairs of the workshop. You're in charge, and you're in charge of some things. Li Hui'er said to Li Jing in a completely professional woman's tone, and that look made Li Jing a little secretly surprised, the dignified Xihe County Lord actually took the matter of this workshop so seriously.

A set of courtyards of the village chief Wang's house is now the temporary office of Li Hui'er and others' workshops, Li Jing followed Li Hui'er in, only to find that Yu Youniang, Xiao Yulou and Wang Yueying were all in the house.

"I'll talk to Saburo about the results of our workshop. Yu Youniang took out an account book, which was a two-dimensional table drawn by Li Jing, and even the bookkeeping method on it was changed to double-entry bookkeeping. This form and double-entry bookkeeping method were originally used by Li Jing to keep accounts by himself, but Zhang Hong, the dog-headed military advisor, saw it and immediately discovered the advantages of this new bookkeeping method. Then he begged Li Jing to teach him, but Li Jing didn't mean to hide it, so he taught Zhang Hong the form and double-entry bookkeeping. Although bookkeeping, two-dimensional tables and Arabic numerals should be difficult for Li Jing to learn, Zhang Hong quickly learned the double-entry accounting method, two-dimensional tables and Arabic numerals. With Li Jing and Zhang Hong taking the lead, two-dimensional tables, Arabic numerals and new bookkeeping methods have spread quickly, and Yu Youniang and several women have learned faster, and they are already out of the blue, and they are more proficient than Zhang Hong's second-way master.

Since Yu Xuan went to Guanzhong, he has never written to Yu Youniang to go to Guanzhong, nor has he mentioned the matter of her last husband Lu's family. Now that she is working with Li Huier to build this workshop, she seems to have thrown away all those troubles, and the whole person is much more cheerful and light. Holding the account book, she said softly: "According to the style set by San Lang, now after nearly half a month of hard work, the workshop has completed 1,200 pieces of missing robes, 1,200 pieces of trousers, 1,200 pieces of boxers, 1,200 pieces of middle clothes, 1,200 pieces of spiral jackets, 1,200 pieces of backs, and 1,200 pieces of linet wrapping and hemp shoes and black cloth boots, all of which are made according to the order according to the five sizes of small, medium, large, large and extra-large. After speaking, Yu Youniang lowered her head a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Li Jing.

Boxers, trousers, middle clothes, robes lacking hips, swivel jackets, a pair of shoes on the back and a wrap are the whole set of new military uniforms that Li Jing prepared for the recruits to change their clothes. In this new military uniform, Li Jing changed the original triangular calf nose pants into boxer briefs, and the large-mouth pants with huge trouser legs were directly changed into new trousers equivalent to the trousers of later generations. In terms of tops, Li Jing has not changed much, the middle coat and the lack of crotch robe are all conventional, but now it is winter, and Li Jing has been added a swivel jacket and a back.

These tops, the lack of crotch robes is a straight, left and right slit robe, but as a military uniform, it is relatively short, and the hem only covers the buttocks. The swivel jacket was no longer than the waist, the sleeves only covered the elbows, and it was made of the thickest cloth with a sandwich jacket, which was originally worn by horse breeders. The front and back plackets are short, and you may wish to take them off when you sit in the saddle; Short sleeves for easy control. The back is a straight-necked placket with long sleeves, slits on both sides without stitching, and a special cover that reaches the calf and is tied with a cloth belt.

In fact, in Li Jing's opinion, the style of clothes at this time was too complicated, and it was not as simple and practical as the clothes of later generations, but considering the times, only the underwear and large-mouth pants were changed, after all, the changes were only a little detail. As for the top, it has not been changed since then.

"Yes, 1,200 military uniforms have been produced in such a short period of time. However, my plan is that each soldier and family member should have at least two sets of military uniforms, but the follow-up military uniforms will continue when they arrive on Salmon Island. I will pay for these 1,200 sets of military uniforms at the price of 1,600 wen each, and as for the cost of materials and workers' wages, these will be arranged by yourself. ”

Li Hui'er and the others were stunned for a moment, "This workshop is all the families of craftsmen and families, and the food and accommodation are all borne by San Lang, isn't it just a family?" ”

Li Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Since this workshop is run by you, it should be independent. Although the workers in those workshops are also the families of the craftsmen and family members I recruited, they should be paid for their work in the workshops. So, I just give you the order and pay for the goods. As for how you buy goods, how you arrange for workers to make military uniforms, and how you pay workers for wages, whether you make money or lose money, that's your business. ”

For this quilt workshop, Li Jing also has his ideas for doing this. Although the workers were all craftsmen and family members, Li Jing did not want to make the workshop herself. He had limited energy alone, and it was tiring enough to train soldiers and horses, and to build those important military workshops in the future, and he didn't want to take care of the quilt workshop made by a group of women. Moreover, it is more worry-free and labor-saving to separate the workshop and use the method of contract management. Now this workshop is a test point for Li Jing, if the effect is good, in the future, some less important workshops, Li Jing plans to use this way of contracting management. Anyway, all he cares about is the product, and as for who to run it, it's not the most important thing.

Li Jing's explanation made several people stunned at first, but they quickly reacted. Wang Yueying is a shrewd businessman, she has been sparing no effort to invest in Li Jing, and naturally she also wants to have a return. As soon as Li Jing's meaning was revealed, she immediately calculated it. This set of military uniforms, including four pieces of clothing, plus two pairs of pants, a pair of shoes and a pair of boots, the material cost control is about 1,200 yuan, and Li Jing is willing to pay 1,600 yuan per set, and each set can have 400 yuan. 1,200 sets is 480 sets, there are more than 500 women in the workshop, and this batch of goods was made for more than 10 days. If the workshop gives each worker forty wages per day, the wages will only need more than 300 yuan, and there will be a lot of profits left.

Wang Yueying glanced at Li Jing again, and after thinking about it, she said: "Each set of San Lang is paid at 1,500 wen, and we pay each worker 50 wen per day." ”

Li Jing only planned a plan, and knew that if it was calculated in this way, Wang Yueying would have to lose at least five or six cents for every set of military uniforms, and it would never be possible to make a profit. "Then you will lose money, it is rare for a worker to pay fifty wen a day, but I can't let you advance money yourself, a set of 1,600 wen don't need to be said more." Cooperation without interests is not long-lasting, even if it is Wang Yueying, Li Jing hopes that the cooperation between the two sides is mutually beneficial and win-win. Although this single military uniform is divided in this way, the workshop will only have a profit of dozens of yuan, but as long as there is a good beginning, Li Jing can expand the scope of cooperation with Wang Yueying next, so that she can get more returns.
