"What, is there really such a good thing?"

In the Agarwood Garden on the east side of the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Weiyang's Mansion, Marquis of Weiyang's wife Sun looked at her daughter-in-law Yang in disbelief: "Princess Chu also said that if she wants to cooperate with our Marquis of Weiyang's Mansion, as long as you gather a few women to spin and weave cloth, you can earn 100,000 taels of silver in a few months?" ”

Yang nodded again and again: "Yes, mother-in-law, this is a good opportunity to make money, if it weren't for Ah Yi's matchmaking, Princess Chu might not have thought of us!" ”

After listening to what Luo Qingluan said, she was thinking all the way back, she couldn't be excited. As soon as he came back, he told his mother-in-law that he wanted to deal with this matter quickly and put the silver in the bag as soon as possible.

But Sun didn't believe it very much, after living for dozens of years, she had never heard of a good thing that could make a lot of money so easily, and outsiders could share it so easily. She frowned, and her face was solemn: "Although Ah Yi is the queen, we can't be careless because of this." Have you forgotten the reputation of Princess Chu? I've heard that this woman is terrible, and her means are so slippery, and isn't she still at odds with Your Majesty? What if she wants to use us to curry favor with Your Majesty? Who knows if she had other ideas before she approached us? ”

Faced with Sun's questioning, Yang didn't dare to refute directly: "Probably not, right?" Princess Chu has said that as long as we gather all the tenants and let those women spin and weave, can we still have losses? This woman weaves cloth and makes clothes, it is natural and right, since Princess Chu can sell these worthless things to the military department, then why don't we take the opportunity to make a profit? ”

"Even if it's to please Your Majesty, hehe, where will it be her turn?"

Speaking of this, Yang became proud: "Mother-in-law, don't forget, now that our Ah Yi is pregnant, Your Majesty is nervous, and even the Queen Mother is very good to Ah Yi." What is she Luo Qingluan, even if His Majesty had a little thought about her before, but now for the sake of the little prince in Ah Yi's belly, can't she tell which is more important? ”

It's this reason, Sun thought about it and thought about it, and was somewhat relieved.

However, at the thought of really summoning all the tenants to weave and spin, the Sun family was still a little uneasy: "Didn't Princess Chu say that as long as we agree, we don't have to pay any money?" But what about the tenants, do you really just say with one mouth, and they will agree to work for us? Spinning and weaving cloth every day, don't you pay wages? Whether this is to let Princess Chu pay this money, but it has to be made clear. ”

Seeing that the Sun family was worried about being like this, and he couldn't even give up such a small amount of money, the Yang family was anxious, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. She sighed and pretended to be very embarrassed: "These daughters-in-law know about it, but Princess Chu gave us this opportunity, even if she has a little money, she should do it." Mother-in-law, you don't know, since your father-in-law left, the house can't make ends meet every month, if you don't get in quickly, I'm afraid that the family's money won't last for two years......"

"What? How so? ”

Sun never took care of the accounts, she used to have her husband Wei Yanghou, and now she has a daughter-in-law Yang, she is happy and leisurely, and she worships incense all day long, recites scriptures and eats fasting. She didn't know that the food she used, everything was the best, even the Buddha beads and wooden fish, they were all carved from the best rosewood, and the incense on it was also the best jade mushroom sandalwood, and ten of them cost a penny.

Yang didn't dare to shorten her mother-in-law Sun's expenses, but the money she earned every month was not enough, and she had to maintain various expenses and maintain the identity and bearing of her relatives, so she couldn't sleep. Otherwise, where could Nangong Wan'er give her a sum of money, just find a reason, and she accepted it greedily.

This time, it was easy to meet Su Yi to match her with her, and when she found Luo Qingluan, the Yang family had already made up her mind to seize it. She also analyzed to Sun that it was a big deal to give a salary to everyone who worked, so that those tenants would have an extra income during the slack time, and they would not spend much, at least it would be much cheaper than hiring people outside.

"Mother-in-law, you think, Princess Chu also said that as long as we do this business, those winter clothes can be sold to the military department to support the front-line soldiers. This is a good opportunity for our Weiyang Marquis Mansion to earn a reputation! ”

What Luo Qingluan said to himself, he also moved it to the Sun family, and the latter was finally moved.

Sun thought about it again and again, nodded and said: "Yes, anyway, the things are in our hands, even if Princess Chu plays any tricks, it is a big deal that we will not lose money if we sell them cheaply." But if it's true, it's a lot of money, and it's a good reputation, yes, you can really try. ”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed for a long time, and the next day the Yang family went to the palace to ask Su Yi, confirmed it for a long time, and finally made up their minds.

Soon, Yang took the housekeeper to Zhuangzi and began to gather the tenants to talk about it. As long as you can spin and weave, you will come to work for the Hou Mansion immediately, and you will have twenty dollars a day. The tenants, who had nothing to do in the farms, were immediately moved, and in three days a hundred and twenty women came to work.

The place of work can only be selected in Zhuangzi, more than 100 people, otherwise it will not fit. At first, Yang was happy and thought that she would be able to make money soon, but soon she was worried.

hurriedly found Luo Qingluan, and Yang complained to her: "Princess Chu, this can't be done, those country women can't do it at all." Some can only spin, some do it slowly, they can't spin two catties a day, but I give them twenty wages a day, and they will lose money if they continue like this! ”

Luo Qingluan had already guessed this, and looked light: "This is simple." ”

"Wouldn't it be nice for Mrs. Su to gather all those who can spin yarn, and to unify the weavers, and let them do their own work. As for those who are slow, if they can't meet the minimum standards, they will be deducted from their wages, and those who are diligent will be given two more, as long as there is money to stimulate, are you afraid that they will not work hard? ”

The raw materials of mulberry hemp were not expensive, Luo Qingluan asked Nangong Yu to ask, and soon purchased a large number of them. As long as it is a matter of making money, Nangong Yu is interested, but Luo Qingluan naturally will not tell the Yang family that the second prince will intervene in this matter, so she will not have any thoughts.

Nangong Yu was also very satisfied, he had been preparing for the winter clothes of the soldiers in front of him during this time, since Luo Qingluan had helped him get so much cheap labor, and he didn't have to worry about it, how could he not be happy?

Although the craftsmanship of these tenant farmers is not as good as that of specialized craftsmen, the assembly line model that Luo Qingluan asked Yang to implement may be worse at the beginning, but it will be good if they are proficient. As for the cloth, the same is true, practice makes perfect, a small batch is nothing, anyway, it is not beautiful, as long as it can keep out the cold, it is indeed cotton inside, it is enough.

Every once in a while, Yang will have some problems, all kinds of worries that he doesn't understand, and he is in a hurry. If it weren't for the sake of the money, and he had already invested a lot, there would be no way to turn back, but I was afraid that the Yang family would already have the idea of taking the burden.

Usually I didn't take care of these things in person at all, and Luo Qingluan gave Su Yi a special advice, he must do it himself by the Yang family, and he can't fake it with others. The reason is very simple, if the profit of 100,000 taels of silver is greedy, no matter how little it is, it will be thousands of taels, so it must be handled by the Yang family himself.

Su Yi naturally didn't have any opinions, let alone felt that Luo Qingluan was deliberately manipulating her mother.

Because Luo Qingluan told her at the beginning, letting the Yang family do this, on the one hand, it could indeed earn money for the Weiyang Marquis Mansion and increase a lot of income. On the other hand, Luo Qingluan deliberately kept the Yang family busy, no matter how big or small, he had to let the Yang family do it himself, and it was best to be very busy, so as to avoid continuing contact with the eldest princess and completely disconnecting.

The income in her hand is 100,000 taels of silver, and the Yang family understands that it is definitely more cost-effective than the hundreds of 1,000 taels given by the princess, no matter how stupid she is, she can also distinguish the weight.

Therefore, as long as the Yang family entered the palace to pour bitter water for Su Yi and wanted to be more relaxed, Su Yi would use Luo Qingluan's words to block her. Either contribute money or contribute, or only think about making money, and don't pay at all, how can there be such a good thing?

Su Yi also comforted the Yang family: "Mother can also take the opportunity to master some ways to make money, and learn more from Princess Chu, even if she doesn't teach, won't mother read it?" You must know that although Princess Chu is a woman, she has a lot of properties under her name, and there are a lot of them with the second prince alone, which is not a skill that ordinary women can have. ”

Speaking of this, Su Yi still looked mysterious, and leaned into Yang's ear and said a number to her: "So many, mother remembers, right?" This is the amount of money that Princess Chu can earn every year, only more and no less. The daughter also heard her leak once in a while before she knew that her mother should not feel tired and quit. Otherwise, if your daughter sends you a few people, you can be more relaxed, okay? ”

I have to say that interests are the biggest driving force, and the Yang family was also a pampered lady at the beginning, but it is a pity that within a few days of enjoying the blessings, the father-in-law Wei Yanghou who was the pillar of the pillar was gone. Fortunately, there is still a queen's daughter to rely on, so after giving her an analysis, the Yang family will understand it thoroughly, although her throat is dry every day for those trivial things, and she can't sleep well, but she is working harder and harder.

There is already a beginning, and it is not possible not to insist, not to mention that the wages of these tenants have already been spent hundreds of taels, how can there be any reason to give up if you don't take it back? As long as he thought that there would be a profit of 100,000 taels in three months, Yang was as excited as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Nangong Wan'er has been honest for a while since she was frightened by a ghost last time, and when she realized that there was no ghost, she was afraid that she would be rectified, and she was so angry that she couldn't do it. After all, there is no evidence, and there is no way to find the person behind the scenes, although there is an object of suspicion, Nangong Wan'er does not dare to rashly attack again.

Otherwise, if you do this again, it will not be to scare her, but to change to something else, but I am afraid that she will not be able to stand it even more.

As for Yu Chi Lianqing, she was about to be named Concubine Lian, but she didn't expect to find out that a queen was pregnant halfway, and she forcibly snatched all of Nangong Qing's attention. Not to mention the concubine, she was directly exempted from entering the palace, and she was called noble, and she didn't want to wronged her.

But when this matter came out, it was talked about, and many noblewomen and daughters in the capital said that His Majesty did not really pity her, but did not want Yu Chi Lianqing to enter the palace to obstruct the queen's eyes, in case the queen was angry and injured, then no one could afford to pay this responsibility.

The words became more and more varied, and later someone directly said that the reason why His Majesty didn't want Wei Chi Lianqing was because she was thin and afraid that she would not be able to raise dragon seeds, and what she said was from the mouth of the Queen Mother's side.

This is a terrible thing, the county lord of Yiyang, who was originally noble and beautiful, and everyone pursued her, suddenly became a disgusted goods, and the young talents who usually flocked to her disappeared one by one. was already rejected by His Majesty, who would dare to ask for it?

Now that I heard that I couldn't have children, I was even more embarrassed, and I didn't dare to go out in shame, and the angry Wei Chi Lianqing was directly scolded by Xuanping Hou, saying that who made her faint in front of His Majesty that day, it was simply self-destruction.
