Chapter 140 Paving the Way
Chapter 140 Paving the Way
At the end of the year, Ying Jin's orders are like snowflakes.
But the first batch was ordered by Su Wanru, and she was going to deliver after the new year, and they were all small and easy-to-handle embroidery.
For example, a purse or a round fan requires a lot of fan covers.
Mr. Huo made calculations and handed her 2000 taels of silver, "This is the company's monthly money."
"It's really a lot." Zhou Xian looked sullenly, "He didn't do anything, and took away so much money in a month, it's really annoying."
Su Wanru knocked on Zhou Xian's head, and said with a smile: "Some benefits you can't see. Today's Si Sanbao, even if the empress wants him to do things, she should be polite and give him five points of face."
"Is it so powerful?" Zhou Xian looked puzzled, "Is it his Dongchang?"
Su Wanru smiled lightly, and said: "Yes. You still don't know how powerful Dongchang is, and you will know after a while."
It was really lucky that she was able to meet Dongchang in Dazhou, a eunuch she was familiar with, and the first supervisor of Dongchang was also her backer.
"I'm going to see my company." Su Wanru said with a smile, "Auntie, invite an accountant to come. It's the end of the year, and this year's bonus has to be calculated. The boss is eagerly waiting for the account to be settled before the year."
"I remember. You don't need to hire Mr. Accountant, I can do it myself." Mr. Huo said: "We spent a lot of money this year, but we also made a lot of money. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have never done it in my life. I've seen so much money."
"How many, how many?" Zhou Xian looked curious, Aunt Huo stretched out a hand, Zhou Xian's eyes lit up, and said, "Five thousand?"
Their slightly larger embroidery workshop costs only 200 taels a year, but now Yingjin is very large, but the annual expenditure is also high, and there are still so many people to support. It’s quite a lot, so to have 5000 taels is already very powerful.
"5000 taels, thanks to your ability to figure it out." Su Wanru went out and turned back, "It's 5 taels. If it was [-] taels, wouldn't Auntie see you?"
Zhou Xian stared at Huo Zhangshi with wide eyes.
Master Huo nodded with a smile, and said, "Aside from the money we spent on building the house, the money we spent on expenses is as much as 5 taels."
"Ah! Auntie, we have made a fortune." Zhou Xian jumped up, "Auntie, I never thought that one day we would have so much money a year."
Huo Zhangshi hugged Zhou Xian, nodded, and said: "Yes, my aunt can buy you a generous dowry, and Ajin will buy you a generous dowry. No matter who you marry in the future, I can make you beautiful married."
"I don't want to marry." Zhou Xian thought of Mei Yu, that clean man, who was gentle and polite at all times, even when he was angry, he would just frown slightly. She really liked this character, but It is only now that I know that people with such a personality are particularly difficult to approach.
Because he treats others the same way besides you. His gentleness and smile are not different from person to person.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xian became more determined, "If I don't marry, I will always be with my aunt. Counting money with you every year."
"Stupid girl." Master Huo sighed in his heart. She understood Zhou Xian's thoughts, but she also saw Dr. Mei's attitude. Seeing close was actually far away. It was probably impossible for two people, "You are still young, Don't be so decisive."
Zhou Xian smiled, her eyes were red.
This is also very good, being with my aunt and Su Jin, we will never be separated, she thought about looking up at Su Jin, shed tears, and said: "A Jin, there is no possibility for you and Zhennan Hou, right? From now on, let's stay with my aunt, just the three of us, and we will never be separated."
Su Wanru came over and touched her head, but instead of crying in response to the occasion, she laughed, scratched Zhou Xian's nose, and said: "Who says I won't marry, I want to have three sons, wait for me When I was strolling in the street, my tall, mighty, handsome sons followed behind me..."
"What are you doing?" Zhou Xian forgot to cry and looked at her.
Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and said: "Think about it, a bad old lady is walking in front, and three handsome sons are behind her, that picture, I feel very proud when I think about it."
"Haha." Zhou Xian turned from crying to laughing, and fell on Mr. Huo's lap, holding her belly with a smile, and said, "Auntie, how can there be such a shameless person."
Huo Zhangshi also laughed, as if the scene Su Wanru described appeared in front of his eyes.
Three tall and mighty sons, following behind a bad old lady, well, they are so conspicuous that one can't help but be proud.
"No, no." Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Then you can have a few more children, and give me a son when the time comes, okay?"
Su Wanru gave her a blank look, and said: "My son, I dare to give it to you, but you don't dare to take it." After saying that, she snorted, and walked away with her head held high.
"You look at her so arrogantly, as if she will have three sons right away. She doesn't know how to be ashamed, but she is still a girl waiting to be married." Zhou Xian said with a smile.
Su Wanru went to the street humming a song. He was not joking, but really wanted to have three sons.
Because she understands what it means to be born in the royal family and to be an heir.
Just like Zhao Zhiang, he has so many sons, one dies and another one dies, one pair dies and another pair... The foundation of this dynasty cannot be broken.
Either this son or that grandson, no matter who they change, the surname of Jiangshan is still Zhao.
The roots of the Su family are deep, but the parents are too loving, there are only two sons in total, you see, after the eldest brother left, only the second brother is left, if she still had a few brothers in the Pingjiang Mansion at that time, even if she lost in the end, she would not It won't lose so fast that people are caught off guard.
Before going to bed at night, she often reflected on where Zhao Zhiang won and where the Su family lost.
She vaguely understood, as she often said, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, a gentleman fights with a hooligan.
If you are reasonable, he doesn't understand, so he just greets you with his fist.
In terms of fighting and killing people, the Later Song Dynasty is not as good as the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no doubt about it, or maybe Su Zhengxing is too high-minded, not as close to the people as Zhao Zhiang... Yes, he was born as a noble son, even if he doesn't stick to one pattern, even if The free and unrestrained performance, compared with Zhao Zhiang, who rushed to the front of the battle with soldiers, talked about Lao Tzu, kept quiet about bastard, drank strong wine and played with women, was far from popular.
If there is a later Song Dynasty, if she and Su Ji are not dead, she hopes that Su Ji can have many, many sons...
Not afraid of rebellion, not afraid of brotherly discord.
With so many sons standing together, it is a huge reliance, and anyone who uses their brains will have to weigh it.
Of course, it's not that the daughter is bad, but the daughter's house is for pampering, just like parents pampering her, holding it carefully in the palm of your hand.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle, and stopped to stand on the street, the people coming and going are actually very peaceful... If there is such a day, she is actually not sure if she will be able to disregard the life and death of the people and focus on overthrowing Zhao Zhiang.
In fact, what she wants to do the most is to kill Zhao Zhiang, and...the spy who caused their defeat.
As for raising troops, she couldn't help but shook her head, thinking about it again, in fact, without Shen Zhan's help, raising troops was really not easy.
She sighed and went to Si Sanbao's residence.
Si Sanbao is not around, and now he is even busier. The size of the East Factory can compete with Shen Zhan's guards. I heard that Si Sanbao will set up a contact point in every state capital and raise thousands of factory guards. In the future, these people will be like mice, haunting any place where there is food, or turning anything into their food.
The East Factory has only just opened, and perhaps the people in Dazhou don’t know what it will look like in a year or two. Si Sanbao should also have a pure heart at the moment, after all, he is also a man with an ambition, and this ambition finally There is a platform for him to show off boldly.
Good thing!
Su Wanru handed the letter containing the banknote to Si Sanbao's cronies, and by the way gave the cronies ten taels of silver, and came out with a smile.
Ingratiate yourself with a eunuch!Sure enough, it was 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!
Su Wanru went to Xianzhen Girls' School, and after it snowed, she asked her mother-in-law not to shovel snow, so the whole yard was covered in whiteness, whether it was upstairs or downstairs, the surroundings were covered in silver, and occasionally There are a few black and gray or green branches protruding out, revealing a hint of wildness, and it becomes a painting.
The drums for the end of get out of class sounded, and the girls chattered in the corridor. When everyone saw her, they rushed over, "Principal Su, are you admiring the snow? It's great that you don't let your mother-in-law shovel the snow. Look at it this way." It's so beautiful."
"Let's draw." Su Wanru turned her head to look at the crowd, "Charcoal drawing, you've all been learning it for a month, today my husband is going to have an inspection."
There was a groaning sound from all around, "Principal, it's so cold today, my hands are going to freeze off when I draw with a brush."
"Pick it up when it's frozen." Su Wanru pinched Miss Dong's nose, "Kid, you want to be lazy when you hear that you have homework. If you're like this, I think you won't be able to graduate until two years later."
Miss Dong exclaimed, jumped up and said, "Then it will be another two years, and I will be able to stay here forever."
"Isn't your father going to Huguang?" Ge Yujie said, "People from Jingzhou are about to arrive. Your father's order has come down, and it won't last this year."
Miss Dong wailed, hugged Su Wanru, and said, "Principal Su, can you help me to ask the Holy One, my father doesn't want to go to Huguang, and it would be good for him to be a servant in the household department."
"Is it useful to ask me?" Su Wanru knocked on her head, waved her hand and said, "There are so many Bodhisattvas here, please."
Everyone laughed, and Miss Tong hugged Ge Yujie for a while, and Miss Zhou for a while, making a fuss.
Nao Nao Nao, everyone still took out the drawing board with paper and pen. The drawing board was custom-made by Su Wanru, and it was easy to make with a shelf. After drawing the blueprints and talking to the carpenter, it would be ready the next day.
It's very easy to use, and everyone likes it very much. They are lined up in the corridor and draw snow.
How interesting it is to draw snow with charcoal, everyone cried again, pointing at the white paper and joking, "I don't need to talk about anything, my paper is full of snow."
There was another burst of laughter.
"You are embarrassing them." Zhao Yan came over and stood by her side, and said with a smile: "They only learn how to draw."
Su Wanru glanced at him, "There is no difference between charcoal and ink, why ink can draw well, but charcoal can't."
Zhao Yan knew his identity since he was very young, so his uncle invited many teachers to teach him, and he was determined to teach him to be a great talent in literature and martial arts. He didn't know if he was a great talent, but there was one thing he practiced very well. Well, that is patience and restraint.
Therefore, his heart seldom fluctuates, but Su Wanru's glance makes him feel like a boy who sympathizes with Dou Chukai, his heart beats like a drum, but even though his heart is turbulent, the eyes and expression he looks at her are calm, and he smiles lightly, He said: "You think there is no difference because you are good at everything. But how many good people are there in the world like you?"
Beauty is in the eyes of beholder?Su Wanru chuckled, and said: "Thanks to the lord's praise, I'm ashamed, ashamed."
The two were joking, like friends for many years, and they didn't mention the heart-to-heart talk that night.
Zhao Yan didn't go to fief the land, but he wasn't given a marriage either, which made Su Wanru very strange.
However, no matter how strange she would ask, this is Zhao Yan's private matter, and it would be even more strange if she asked, as if you knew a fish was going to leave, but you just fed him and hung others... She doesn't need to use this This method is used to prove the charm, so she has gained the benefits, but the boundaries still have to be established.
Anyway, he was willing, this was Su Wanru's comfort.
When the first snow melted in October, they were eating barbecue in the backyard. The fresh venison was cut into small pieces and grilled on an iron grill. It wasn't Su Wanru who remembered it, but Ge Yujie.
Zhu Xun came here smelling the fragrance, a little green among the thousands of flowers, and had a great time playing with the girls.
"Let me be the husband." Zhu Xun quietly pulled Su Wanru, "It's better here. There are so many girls, although they are noisy, but they can satisfy my vanity."
Vanity is a word Su Wanru taught him. When he is admired by someone with good conditions, he will feel a sense of vanity and satisfaction in his heart.
"Someone admires you?" Su Wanru looked at him amusedly, Zhu Xun waved her hands, "Little girls are reserved, even if they love you, they will keep it to themselves."
She laughed and shook her head, and said: "I can't stop you if you want to come to play. After all, your status is not low. If the elders of the little girls don't tell me, I don't know. But you can't do it if you want to be a husband. There is a pure-hearted man here." Desire, Lord Ning, the wind of the king's heart, will do, if you come, you will disturb the water."
Zhu Xun snorted, dissatisfied: "Why do I disturb the water when I come here, Zhao Zhongyuan is not, he is a gentleman and so am I."
"Zhu Zhengyan." Ge Yujie yelled outside, "Whether your meat is still roasted or not, we'll have to move it out."
Zhu Xun jumped up in a jerk, "You are cursing. Roast my meat. Do you dare to eat it after I roast it?"
"I'll eat it if you dare to roast it." Ge Yujie said, "What's the difference between human meat and venison? The Marquis of Zhennan still ate it back then. I heard that it was because of eating human meat that he won the battle."
Zhu Xun snorted, and the two went to the yard noisily.
Su Wanru chuckled, roasting Zhu Zhengyan's meat is not tasty, it should be roasting Zhennan Hou's, let's see if his meat tastes better after eating human flesh.
However, it is good to be with the children, and you can forget a lot of troubles. She smiled and saw a small servant coming in at the door. She smiled and said: "The father-in-law is here, but what is the order of the company?"
"Here is the key." The little father-in-law handed a key to Su Wanru, "Elder-in-law said that the person who rented the shop has moved out, and I will leave the shop to you from now on."
Su Wanru took the key and handed her little father-in-law a purse of ten taels of silver, she always did this, but whenever people around Si Sanbao came to talk to her, she would always have a purse of ten taels of silver, generous and quick.
So everyone around Si Sanbao is willing to do things for her, and they can get ten taels of silver for a trip, and Su Wanru is not only good-looking, but also a very gentle and talkative person.
Such an errand is a beautiful one.
As soon as the little eunuch left, Su Wanru looked down at the key and smiled lightly. When Zhao Yan came in and saw her smirking while sitting on the rose bed, she couldn't help but also laughed, "What's the matter, so happy."
"Look." Su Wanru shook the key in her hand, "My backer has brought the shop."
Zhao Yan knew about the relationship between Su Wanru and Si Sanbao, and Su Wanru never kept these things from her, "What are you going to do?"
"Business." Su Wanru winked mischievously at him, "You will know in a month."
Zhao Yan chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Are you short of money? Or, do you want to earn a lot of money?"
"Who would despise a lot of money." Su Wanru said with a smile: "Of course it is lying on the mountain of gold and silver!"
Zhao Yan touched her head, and felt that such a woman really wanted to hide her at home, pamper her well, and raise her exquisitely. She is like fine porcelain, and she needs to be cared for carefully, but now she is acting as a Cleared up the rubble and stood upright to shelter others from the wind and rain.
How can he let it go, even if he knows that she doesn't have himself in her heart, he still wants to wait a while and watch her turn into fine porcelain again, even if he is not the one who takes care of her, he still wants to watch the porcelain be bright and clean, blooming in splendor .
"I'm fine today, I'll go take a look." Su Wanru got up as she spoke, Zhao Yan said, "I'll accompany you."
Su Wanru nodded, and the two of them went to the East Street in two carriages. The shops here are doing very well, and the people who come and go are rich families. Going forward is the city gate, and the merchants coming and going are extremely lively.
Opening the door, the two of them entered the shop. The original goods inside had been cleared out, but the shelves were still there, probably because the owner in front didn't want them. The shop was so big that she asked Zhao Yan to walk back and forth, and went deep into the shop. There are seventeen and a half steps and a width of 32 steps.
"Move the back wall back a bit." Su Wanru patted the back wall, "Move another fifteen cloth back, do you think it's okay, the wall won't collapse, right?"
Su Wanru doesn't understand these things.
"It doesn't matter if the wall is not load-bearing on this level." Zhao Yan then walked fifteen steps, "It can be moved here, and the backyard is still very big, so it can be fully covered and used as a warehouse."
Su Wanru smiled lightly and gave a thumbs up, "My lord is smart!"
"How can I be smart, if I am smart, I should know what you are going to do." Zhao Yan said.
Su Wanru just wandered around the backyard. She really doesn't know much. During this period of time, whenever her mind is free, she will think about the next thing to do. It should be possible to fill in the gaps and find gaps.
"I knew I should learn more." Su Wanru muttered. It's not unusual to learn chemistry or something, so you don't just study rote books and only know embroidery.
Zhao Yan laughed and said: "You already know a lot, more than usual, don't be greedy."
"My lord, I'm not an ordinary person." Su Wanru raised her eyebrows, "I'm a fairy!"
Zhao Yan seldom laughed out loud, with wanton joy in his laughter. He nodded and said, "It seems that I also want to practice a little bit, so that Shengxian can stand on the same cloud as you."
It's hard to answer these words, Su Wanru interrupted with a smile, and changed the topic.
She doesn't want Shen Zhan either, right? Otherwise, she never mentioned it.
Su Wanru found her former foreman, and everyone was already very familiar with her. She said with a smile, "Auntie just happened to find it. If it's a month later, we will be separated and return home for the New Year."
"After finishing here, take more home for the New Year." Su Wanru said with a smile: "Start work early, go home early."
The foreman should be, walking in the shop with Su Wanru, Su Wanru said: "This time, we don't need many craftsmen, but we need carpenters. You can find more craftsmen, and I will make a lot of things."
Artisans should be.
It took three days for everyone to negotiate together, and two or three days to buy wood and other tools, and then the construction started.
Su Wanru asked the foreman to find a few wooden boards to block the doorway. People coming and going on the street only knew that the inside was being renovated, but they couldn't see how the inside was being repaired and what it looked like.
For a while, the whole city became curious.
What is Principal Su going to do?
"Principal Su is not an ordinary person. What she has to do must be different from others."
"That's for sure, we'll just wait for the shop to open."
"The opening has nothing to do with you. What Principal Su does is not embroidery, but it is also related to embroidery."
There was a lot of discussion among the people, but there was incomparable curiosity and anticipation.
Su Wanru smiled lightly, she was sitting in the rice shop talking to Granny Liu, "...have you visited it, how was it?"
"Both my subordinates and Thirteenth Mother went to see it." Granny Liu smiled and said, "The weather is good before snowfall, so the growth is particularly good. When the shop opens, it will definitely be able to sell."
Su Wanru nodded and laughed, "Where in Jining, you have to write a letter and ask the head Zheng."
"It must be the same as the one in Daxing." Granny Liu was very happy, but puzzled, "Why did you choose Jining? It's too far away. It would take two days to get to the capital by water."
Su Wanru covered her face with a smile, and said: "The land in Jining is cheaper than that in Yanjing. Where is the land in and around the capital for us to use? If we rent it, we can't afford it."
Of course, Granny Liu knew that it wasn't because the land was too expensive for Su Wanru. With her ability, it was still possible to rent a piece of land, not to mention buying it.
But Su Wanru didn't say anything, and she didn't ask too much, because Su Wanru never did idle things.
In the past two days, Mr. Ge was resting at home due to illness, he had a cold, and now he had just taken his medicine and took a letter and leaned on the chair to take a nap.
Master Ge woke up within the time of a cup of tea, and suddenly felt refreshed. After drinking a cup of tea, he looked at his daughter and said with a smile: "Since she went to school, my daughter has become much more sensible and well-behaved. "
"Father, I've always been very well-behaved." Ge Yujie said with a smile, "Father, haven't the people from Jingzhou escorted them back to Beijing yet?"
What happened in August, it's already October, it's really slow to do things.
"There are so many people, so many family members, checking and reconciling accounts, there are many things to do. The Zhezi who just arrived a few days ago just set off, and so many people encountered heavy snow on their way. It would be good if they could arrive in the capital before the year." Mr. Ge As he spoke, he glanced at his daughter strangely, "Why did you suddenly ask about the court, but what did one of your classmates tell you?"
"It's Miss Dong." Ge Yujie looked at Master Ge curiously, "Father, is it good or not to go outside? Sister Dong said that his father doesn't want to go to Jingzhou."
The matter of letting go outside really cannot be generalized, Mr. Ge said: "It was good at first, after all, Huguang is a rich place, and all the officials who let go outside are plotting with Xiao Jian's head. But now it has become a bad place." It is normal for Mr. Dong not to want to go to this place."
The officialdom in Jingzhou fluctuated up and down, just like the round of leaf cards was reshuffled. Going there now, it seems that it is a big show of strength, but it is not easy to use it. The officials have been greedy for so much money. It hurts the vitality, and it is difficult to recover within three to five years.
Officials sent out have a term of three years, and if they fail to do anything during one term, it will be a stain on the official name of their achievements. They will wait for another three years... It is their duty to make achievements.
Anyone who is smarter and has some background, no one wants to go to Huguang now.
What a thankless task.
"Then you can help her." Ge Yujie said, "I have a very good relationship with her. Her mother is from Pingjiang Prefecture. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she made a lot of mooncakes for us to eat. They are delicious."
In her class, people brought snacks almost every day and shared them with each other.
Because no one is stupid, born here, and his father's official position is here, the school has become an officialdom, even better than the officialdom.
A few days ago, Mr. Ge had done something through his daughter. One of his fellow criminals went to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and asked to come to him, but he had no contact with the people in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. They were usually these people. She came to beg him to do something, but now she is asking him to beg someone else, she really can't bear this face.
Mrs. Ge reminded her, let Ge Yujie tell Ms. Cui, who knows, within a few days his fellow department changed prisons, and half a month later, he came out.
This surprised Mr. Ge, and realized for the first time the benefits of this female school.
"Father will figure it out." Master Ge replied to his daughter, "However, it is really not easy to do this. After all, Master Dong's order has been issued, and it is a certainty to let it out, but where to go in the end, father can decide." Try it out."
"Okay." Ge Yujie cheered up, "Thank you dad."
Master Ge patted his daughter's head, he wanted to check this Master Dong, if he could use it, he would help him, he would use it for him in the future, and if he couldn't use it, he would still send it to Jingzhou. He was not formally asked to come here, nor did he promise anything.
After thinking about it, Mr. Ge looked at his daughter and became more and more satisfied, "I heard that your Principal Su has recently started busy with business again?"
"That's right." Ge Yujie smiled and said, "Our principal said that he will open a shop for us women, and everything in it will be our women's favorite."
These words are weird, no matter how capable Principal Su is, he is only a child of fifteen or sixteen.
"Okay, okay. If she is short of money and wants to be like a stock, you can pay some money." Mr. Ge said: "Three 5000 taels, the family can afford it."
Ge Yujie was of course happy when his father took a fancy to the person he liked. He felt a sense of pride, nodded and said, "Then I'll ask her. But this time she didn't mention buying shares, so I don't think so."
As soon as Master Ge said, he didn't care whether it was successful or not.
"Aunt Su." Lu Yi knocked on the door, Su Wanru just woke up, she looked at him with her hair covered in haze, "Uncle Lu, it's not even dawn yet."
Lu Yi looked at the corners of her mouth and closed the door, fearing that the wind would blow her, "Officer Liu asked someone to send a message, saying that his ship will arrive in Tongzhou in three days."
"It's here?" Su Wanru jumped up happily, "It's really coming. Oh, I'm going to check the shop, and I'm going to urge the foreman to work overnight for three days."
Lu Yi said: "Is there anything you can ask me to do?"
"Yes." Su Wanru said: "But it's not today, after two days you will take someone to Daxing and help me get something back."
Lu Yi nodded yes.
Su Wan kept her feet on the ground, urged the workers, and finished the shop. A day later, Guanren Sun came back with more than thirty bullock carts, and Guanren Miao came with him.Liu Kang took the boat, while Sun Guanren and Miao Guanren still went to the Western Regions.
But this time, none of the things they brought back were sold, and all of them were taken to the capital.
Everyone saw the newly recruited buddy, carrying boxes of things to the backyard, but they didn't know what they were moving.
Lu Yi went to Daxing and returned after running for two days and pulling seven or eight carts of things.
On the fourth day of November, when Liu Kang arrived in Tongzhou, Sun Guanren went to pick up the people in person, the cargo of two ships, more than [-] vehicles ran two rounds and did not finish.
"It's all these things, it's enough to sell for a few years." The neighbors on the left and right looked at it, their curiosity reached its peak, how long will it take to sell this carload of cars piled up in the backyard.
"Let's go to our shop first." Su Wanru led Liu Kang to the shop together, Liu Kang was dumbfounded, and even forgot all the hard work along the way, and said in astonishment: "...Auntie is right , no matter how much it is, we can eat it.”
"That's right." Su Wanru covered her face and smiled, "So this year, you and Sun Guanren will stay in Beijing for the New Year, and see what sells well, and when you go out next year, you can get more."
Liu Kang nodded yes, then remembered to talk to Su Wanru about sailing, "...the four people my aunt sent are very useful, if they didn't help me guard the boat day and night, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."
Going out, especially with the money in these two ships, was more dangerous than he thought.
"Thank you." Su Wanru smiled and said, "Leave next year, you will have experience."
Liu Kang smiled and said yes.
"You don't need to worry about things here, go home and rest first, we will officially open on the sixth day of the lunar new year!" Su Wanru said: "Before the Chinese New Year, we will be able to clear out five or two of the goods."
Liu Kangying walked a few steps, then remembered something, "Can someone come for the opening?"
"Please." Su Wanru smiled and said, "I also invited dragon and lion dancers, bought a whole carload of firecrackers, and... a dozen young and beautiful girls."
Liu Kang couldn't stand still and staggered, holding on to the door frame, he didn't know what he thought of, and went out with an embarrassed expression.
"Manager Qiao." Su Wanru yelled inside, and a man in his thirties with a pale face came out, "Boss, what are your orders?"
Shopkeeper Qiao was still Qiao's father-in-law half a month ago, but now he is the manager here.
It was she who asked Si Sanbao to send a smart and intelligent eunuch, saying that she had no one to use, so she asked Si Sanbao to give it to her. Si Sanbao scolded a few words and sent Eunuch Qiao.
She didn't care whether Father-in-law Qiao was capable or not, what she cared about was whether Si Sanbao was happy or not.
It's still the same sentence, if he didn't raise Si Sanbao to be white and fat, how could he protect her all the way unimpeded.
Still the same sentence, there are some things that Shen Zhan can't do, Zhao Yan can't do, but Si Sanbao can.
However, to her surprise, the treasurer Qiao is very capable. Three generations of his family have been businessmen, and he made a small fortune by reselling goods from the north and the south during the war, but no one used the wealth. When he was five years old At that time, the whole family died.
It was not easy for Eunuch Qiao to survive, and later he became a eunuch by chance and followed Si Sanbao...
"We're going to work harder these two days." Su Wanru said with a smile, "I'm here at night too. Let's arrange the goods and open on time at noon on the sixth day."
Shopkeeper Qiao nodded. He liked this new job very much, it made him look like a man, "Okay, this kind of goods can be finished in one day and one night."
They were busy, and Si Sanbao, the head of the palace, took a box to Fengwu Palace. Madam Liu smiled and said, "Master Si, why are you free today?"
"I got some gadgets, I want to give the empress something new." Si Sanbao said with a smile.
With Si Sanbao's status now, he doesn't need to curry favor with the queen at all, but these things were sent to him by Su Wanru, half a box as a favor.
He didn't say who he would give favors to, but the only ones Si Sanbao needed to be favors were the queen and the nobles in the palace, and the princesses. "
Nanny Liu went back, and after a while Si Sanbao came in, the queen looked at him with a smile, and said, "What a good thing, Baba made a special trip to bring it to me."
"It's something from the Netherlands." Si Sanbao smiled, and passed the box in his hand. When he opened it, there was a scent coming out of the glass bottle with a narrow neck. The queen sniffed it and smiled. Said: "What am I supposed to be? It's the same as the dew from the Western Regions."
"It's not the same." Si Sanbao said with a smile, "The smell of toilet water is too strong, but this one has a weak smell, a faint fragrance of camellia."
Really, the queen held it in her hand and looked at it, "It's a good thing. You got it from the Su family? Everyone in the palace gave it away?"
"Not yet, yours is the first." Si Sanbao said with a smile: "However, only you have this scented perfume, and the other palaces have the same mint fragrance. Not only in the palace, but in the whole capital, There are only three bottles of camellia fragrance!"
The three bottles are all here, the queen looked at this bottle again and she was more pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: "It smells good." She took two pieces of glass and came out with a gold chain, "What is this?"
"Glasses." Si Sanbao said: "Your Majesty, try it, put it on your eyes, you can see clearly."
Su Wanru said it was reading glasses, old people with bad eyesight can try it.
"Really." The queen tried to put the glasses on and finally put them on. Si Sanbao hurriedly brought a small book over, and the queen laughed when she saw it, "The Holy Majesty can use this thing. Look at it." Much clearer."
"I bought a lot of these, and I will send a pair to the Holy Majesty later." Si Sanbao said with a smile.
The things sent to the queen should be explained clearly, so that the queen will not find it unusual in the future.
"Great love, this palace is still the first one." The queen smiled lightly, and gave the things to Nanny Liu, "Try it, wait for Su's shop to open some other day, and we will spend money to buy another pair."
Nanny Liu was comfortable to wear, and asked Si Sanbao with a smile, "How much is this pair?"
"When Su Shi delivered it, he said that this pair will cost 50 taels of silver, and the purchase is not much, so go early and get it early." Si Sanbao said.
50 taels to buy two pieces of glass, no matter how expensive the glass is, there is no such price. There is also that bottle of perfume, which smells better than floral dew, but is several times more expensive than floral dew. One bottle is priced at 18 taels.
Si Sanbao was speechless secretly, women's things really cost money.
It's no wonder that when the girl said something, we were full of it.
"When will it open?" Madam Liu said with a smile, "I will also go to see it on the opening day. Everyone in the capital is eagerly looking forward to what kind of novel store it is."
Si Sanbao smiled and said, "Noon on the sixth day."
Nanny Liu nodded and looked at the queen. The queen smiled and said, "Go, spend the money you saved, and experience the feeling of spending a lot of money."
"Yes!" Nanny Liu replied with a smile.
On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the city was full of excitement. Everyone wanted to buy new year's goods before the year. Therefore, the shop was crowded with people. As noon was approaching, Su Wanru walked out with a smile on her face. After the dragon dance, lion dance and firecracker sound, she He only said briefly, "Opening today, anyone who spends more than five taels of silver will get a juan handkerchief produced by Jinxiu Fang, and those who shop for more than one hundred taels will get a pair of hanging screens!"
One must know that Ying Jin's handkerchiefs cost a lot of money in the market, and the hanging screens were made by the little embroiderer, and they cost seven or eight taels.
Everyone's curiosity reached its peak, what kind of shop can buy a hundred taels of stuff at once.
Su Wanru clapped her hands, pulled the cloth hanging on the plaque, and huh, everyone saw the plaque displayed!
World Department Store!
Such a big name, if it were someone else, they would probably be pointed at, but Su Wanru did this, everyone felt nothing for no reason.
Su Jin's ability is obvious to all.
"Aunt Su, please open the door, we've been waiting for a long time." Someone shouted.
Su Wanru smiled, nodded and said, "Open the door!"
When the door opened, everyone saw all the girls at the door, wearing uniform pink trousers, with bright smiles on their youthful faces, watching everyone move in unison, with a charming voice, "Welcome to watch!"
"There are still girls." Everyone laughed, and the girls had already dispersed, and Su Wanru invited them in.
Immediately, bursts of exclamations were heard from inside.
It's a supermarket. There are rows of shelves, and things are stored in different areas. When you enter the door, each person will be given a shopping basket. You can pick up what you want, and put it in the basket to go out to check out.
There are countless varieties in the daily use area, the fresh snacks in the food area are fragrant, and the department stores in the odd goods area are full of beautiful things.
For those who don't know the purpose and have never seen it, only the shopping guide girl came up to explain.
And the fresh section at the back has seafood and fresh green leafy vegetables.
In winter, green leafy vegetables are so rare.
So, after a while, there was not even a single leaf left of the piled green leafy vegetables, and even those department stores that cost more than a dozen taels were half emptied.
At the end of the day, Su Wanru was extremely tired, and settled the bill with the shopkeeper Qiao under the lamp, while in the backyard Lu Yi brought someone to bring fresh strangers.
Shopkeeper Qiao had been tired for half a month, but he was extremely excited tonight. He didn't go home after his part-time job, but went directly to Si Sanbao, "...Si, the servant is here."
"Well. How about opening today?" Si Sanbao was very concerned about this matter, but he didn't care to the point of thinking about it all the time. After all, he just opened the business, and he had to wait until he had money.
Shopkeeper Qiao put today's turnover on the table, "...the cost on the top is the converted wage, the selling price is next to it, the quantity sold is the column to the left, the total price is the column to the left, and the next column is the total price. On the left is net profit."
Si Sanbao scanned it and looked directly at the net profit, numbers were neatly written on it.
Five thousand 130 four twenty-eight dollars.
"Is this for one day?" Even Si Sanbao stood up abruptly, pointing at the account book, showing an expression of disbelief.
You can't earn so much in a day from mining gold.
"Yes." Shopkeeper Qiao said, "Aunt Su said it's the first day. Afterwards, everyone's excited period will be over, and the turnover will be less, but there should still be three or four thousand taels a day."
Si Sanbao wanted to scold someone, this dead girl, no wonder she drank with him all day and got arrogant.
I didn't expect her to be really confident.
"However..." Shopkeeper Qiao said: "Aunt Su sighed when she settled the accounts just now, and said that if it is convenient to sail, she can have more money. Her raw vegetables are all grown in Jining, and the goods are shipped from overseas. It's really troublesome."
"What does she mean?" Si Sanbao knew that Su Wanru never talked nonsense to him, and she just asked for something.
Shopkeeper Qiao didn't know if he was thinking right or not, and said, "Water transport! Aunt Su said, let Eunuch help her get a water transport. The old rules, you give advice, and she contributes the money."
Water transportation is not as simple as buying a few boats and finding a hundred people.
Instead, it is necessary to build a special transshipment terminal and set up supply escorts. This involves many government offices and involves even greater interests.
"Aunt Su said that if a water transport can be arranged, it can also be rented out. She has inquired about a boat going all the way. It is fifty silver. How many merchant ships are there on the canal on this day."
Si Sanbao's heart was pounding, as if he saw mountains of gold and silver!
"Miscellaneous, think about it, miscellaneous, think carefully." Si Sanbao glanced at today's profit again, feeling a buzzing in his head.
Money is touching.
Si Sanbao is a vulgar person, a vulgar person, he is not only tempted, he is really tempted!
At this moment, Su Wanru, who was holding a handcuff and smiling, was leaning on the soft couch. Duan Zhen stood in front of her and said hesitantly, "Do you think the company will be tempted?"
"I've done so much just for this step!" Su Wanru smiled, and said, "If so much money is thrown in front of him, if he doesn't feel tempted, he's not Si Sanbao."
Duan Zhen was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked, he looked at Su Wanru excitedly, and said: "Subordinate...subordinates go down and prepare!"
"Go." Su Wanru glanced at the account book, "Shen Zhan is coming back soon, I need to finish this quickly."
If Shen Zhan was merciless, she wouldn't have to be afraid of him.
This one is very important... So, although it is a bit clichéd, I still bear to read it, hehe.
(End of this chapter)
At the end of the year, Ying Jin's orders are like snowflakes.
But the first batch was ordered by Su Wanru, and she was going to deliver after the new year, and they were all small and easy-to-handle embroidery.
For example, a purse or a round fan requires a lot of fan covers.
Mr. Huo made calculations and handed her 2000 taels of silver, "This is the company's monthly money."
"It's really a lot." Zhou Xian looked sullenly, "He didn't do anything, and took away so much money in a month, it's really annoying."
Su Wanru knocked on Zhou Xian's head, and said with a smile: "Some benefits you can't see. Today's Si Sanbao, even if the empress wants him to do things, she should be polite and give him five points of face."
"Is it so powerful?" Zhou Xian looked puzzled, "Is it his Dongchang?"
Su Wanru smiled lightly, and said: "Yes. You still don't know how powerful Dongchang is, and you will know after a while."
It was really lucky that she was able to meet Dongchang in Dazhou, a eunuch she was familiar with, and the first supervisor of Dongchang was also her backer.
"I'm going to see my company." Su Wanru said with a smile, "Auntie, invite an accountant to come. It's the end of the year, and this year's bonus has to be calculated. The boss is eagerly waiting for the account to be settled before the year."
"I remember. You don't need to hire Mr. Accountant, I can do it myself." Mr. Huo said: "We spent a lot of money this year, but we also made a lot of money. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have never done it in my life. I've seen so much money."
"How many, how many?" Zhou Xian looked curious, Aunt Huo stretched out a hand, Zhou Xian's eyes lit up, and said, "Five thousand?"
Their slightly larger embroidery workshop costs only 200 taels a year, but now Yingjin is very large, but the annual expenditure is also high, and there are still so many people to support. It’s quite a lot, so to have 5000 taels is already very powerful.
"5000 taels, thanks to your ability to figure it out." Su Wanru went out and turned back, "It's 5 taels. If it was [-] taels, wouldn't Auntie see you?"
Zhou Xian stared at Huo Zhangshi with wide eyes.
Master Huo nodded with a smile, and said, "Aside from the money we spent on building the house, the money we spent on expenses is as much as 5 taels."
"Ah! Auntie, we have made a fortune." Zhou Xian jumped up, "Auntie, I never thought that one day we would have so much money a year."
Huo Zhangshi hugged Zhou Xian, nodded, and said: "Yes, my aunt can buy you a generous dowry, and Ajin will buy you a generous dowry. No matter who you marry in the future, I can make you beautiful married."
"I don't want to marry." Zhou Xian thought of Mei Yu, that clean man, who was gentle and polite at all times, even when he was angry, he would just frown slightly. She really liked this character, but It is only now that I know that people with such a personality are particularly difficult to approach.
Because he treats others the same way besides you. His gentleness and smile are not different from person to person.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xian became more determined, "If I don't marry, I will always be with my aunt. Counting money with you every year."
"Stupid girl." Master Huo sighed in his heart. She understood Zhou Xian's thoughts, but she also saw Dr. Mei's attitude. Seeing close was actually far away. It was probably impossible for two people, "You are still young, Don't be so decisive."
Zhou Xian smiled, her eyes were red.
This is also very good, being with my aunt and Su Jin, we will never be separated, she thought about looking up at Su Jin, shed tears, and said: "A Jin, there is no possibility for you and Zhennan Hou, right? From now on, let's stay with my aunt, just the three of us, and we will never be separated."
Su Wanru came over and touched her head, but instead of crying in response to the occasion, she laughed, scratched Zhou Xian's nose, and said: "Who says I won't marry, I want to have three sons, wait for me When I was strolling in the street, my tall, mighty, handsome sons followed behind me..."
"What are you doing?" Zhou Xian forgot to cry and looked at her.
Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and said: "Think about it, a bad old lady is walking in front, and three handsome sons are behind her, that picture, I feel very proud when I think about it."
"Haha." Zhou Xian turned from crying to laughing, and fell on Mr. Huo's lap, holding her belly with a smile, and said, "Auntie, how can there be such a shameless person."
Huo Zhangshi also laughed, as if the scene Su Wanru described appeared in front of his eyes.
Three tall and mighty sons, following behind a bad old lady, well, they are so conspicuous that one can't help but be proud.
"No, no." Zhou Xian smiled and said, "Then you can have a few more children, and give me a son when the time comes, okay?"
Su Wanru gave her a blank look, and said: "My son, I dare to give it to you, but you don't dare to take it." After saying that, she snorted, and walked away with her head held high.
"You look at her so arrogantly, as if she will have three sons right away. She doesn't know how to be ashamed, but she is still a girl waiting to be married." Zhou Xian said with a smile.
Su Wanru went to the street humming a song. He was not joking, but really wanted to have three sons.
Because she understands what it means to be born in the royal family and to be an heir.
Just like Zhao Zhiang, he has so many sons, one dies and another one dies, one pair dies and another pair... The foundation of this dynasty cannot be broken.
Either this son or that grandson, no matter who they change, the surname of Jiangshan is still Zhao.
The roots of the Su family are deep, but the parents are too loving, there are only two sons in total, you see, after the eldest brother left, only the second brother is left, if she still had a few brothers in the Pingjiang Mansion at that time, even if she lost in the end, she would not It won't lose so fast that people are caught off guard.
Before going to bed at night, she often reflected on where Zhao Zhiang won and where the Su family lost.
She vaguely understood, as she often said, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, a gentleman fights with a hooligan.
If you are reasonable, he doesn't understand, so he just greets you with his fist.
In terms of fighting and killing people, the Later Song Dynasty is not as good as the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no doubt about it, or maybe Su Zhengxing is too high-minded, not as close to the people as Zhao Zhiang... Yes, he was born as a noble son, even if he doesn't stick to one pattern, even if The free and unrestrained performance, compared with Zhao Zhiang, who rushed to the front of the battle with soldiers, talked about Lao Tzu, kept quiet about bastard, drank strong wine and played with women, was far from popular.
If there is a later Song Dynasty, if she and Su Ji are not dead, she hopes that Su Ji can have many, many sons...
Not afraid of rebellion, not afraid of brotherly discord.
With so many sons standing together, it is a huge reliance, and anyone who uses their brains will have to weigh it.
Of course, it's not that the daughter is bad, but the daughter's house is for pampering, just like parents pampering her, holding it carefully in the palm of your hand.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but chuckle, and stopped to stand on the street, the people coming and going are actually very peaceful... If there is such a day, she is actually not sure if she will be able to disregard the life and death of the people and focus on overthrowing Zhao Zhiang.
In fact, what she wants to do the most is to kill Zhao Zhiang, and...the spy who caused their defeat.
As for raising troops, she couldn't help but shook her head, thinking about it again, in fact, without Shen Zhan's help, raising troops was really not easy.
She sighed and went to Si Sanbao's residence.
Si Sanbao is not around, and now he is even busier. The size of the East Factory can compete with Shen Zhan's guards. I heard that Si Sanbao will set up a contact point in every state capital and raise thousands of factory guards. In the future, these people will be like mice, haunting any place where there is food, or turning anything into their food.
The East Factory has only just opened, and perhaps the people in Dazhou don’t know what it will look like in a year or two. Si Sanbao should also have a pure heart at the moment, after all, he is also a man with an ambition, and this ambition finally There is a platform for him to show off boldly.
Good thing!
Su Wanru handed the letter containing the banknote to Si Sanbao's cronies, and by the way gave the cronies ten taels of silver, and came out with a smile.
Ingratiate yourself with a eunuch!Sure enough, it was 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!
Su Wanru went to Xianzhen Girls' School, and after it snowed, she asked her mother-in-law not to shovel snow, so the whole yard was covered in whiteness, whether it was upstairs or downstairs, the surroundings were covered in silver, and occasionally There are a few black and gray or green branches protruding out, revealing a hint of wildness, and it becomes a painting.
The drums for the end of get out of class sounded, and the girls chattered in the corridor. When everyone saw her, they rushed over, "Principal Su, are you admiring the snow? It's great that you don't let your mother-in-law shovel the snow. Look at it this way." It's so beautiful."
"Let's draw." Su Wanru turned her head to look at the crowd, "Charcoal drawing, you've all been learning it for a month, today my husband is going to have an inspection."
There was a groaning sound from all around, "Principal, it's so cold today, my hands are going to freeze off when I draw with a brush."
"Pick it up when it's frozen." Su Wanru pinched Miss Dong's nose, "Kid, you want to be lazy when you hear that you have homework. If you're like this, I think you won't be able to graduate until two years later."
Miss Dong exclaimed, jumped up and said, "Then it will be another two years, and I will be able to stay here forever."
"Isn't your father going to Huguang?" Ge Yujie said, "People from Jingzhou are about to arrive. Your father's order has come down, and it won't last this year."
Miss Dong wailed, hugged Su Wanru, and said, "Principal Su, can you help me to ask the Holy One, my father doesn't want to go to Huguang, and it would be good for him to be a servant in the household department."
"Is it useful to ask me?" Su Wanru knocked on her head, waved her hand and said, "There are so many Bodhisattvas here, please."
Everyone laughed, and Miss Tong hugged Ge Yujie for a while, and Miss Zhou for a while, making a fuss.
Nao Nao Nao, everyone still took out the drawing board with paper and pen. The drawing board was custom-made by Su Wanru, and it was easy to make with a shelf. After drawing the blueprints and talking to the carpenter, it would be ready the next day.
It's very easy to use, and everyone likes it very much. They are lined up in the corridor and draw snow.
How interesting it is to draw snow with charcoal, everyone cried again, pointing at the white paper and joking, "I don't need to talk about anything, my paper is full of snow."
There was another burst of laughter.
"You are embarrassing them." Zhao Yan came over and stood by her side, and said with a smile: "They only learn how to draw."
Su Wanru glanced at him, "There is no difference between charcoal and ink, why ink can draw well, but charcoal can't."
Zhao Yan knew his identity since he was very young, so his uncle invited many teachers to teach him, and he was determined to teach him to be a great talent in literature and martial arts. He didn't know if he was a great talent, but there was one thing he practiced very well. Well, that is patience and restraint.
Therefore, his heart seldom fluctuates, but Su Wanru's glance makes him feel like a boy who sympathizes with Dou Chukai, his heart beats like a drum, but even though his heart is turbulent, the eyes and expression he looks at her are calm, and he smiles lightly, He said: "You think there is no difference because you are good at everything. But how many good people are there in the world like you?"
Beauty is in the eyes of beholder?Su Wanru chuckled, and said: "Thanks to the lord's praise, I'm ashamed, ashamed."
The two were joking, like friends for many years, and they didn't mention the heart-to-heart talk that night.
Zhao Yan didn't go to fief the land, but he wasn't given a marriage either, which made Su Wanru very strange.
However, no matter how strange she would ask, this is Zhao Yan's private matter, and it would be even more strange if she asked, as if you knew a fish was going to leave, but you just fed him and hung others... She doesn't need to use this This method is used to prove the charm, so she has gained the benefits, but the boundaries still have to be established.
Anyway, he was willing, this was Su Wanru's comfort.
When the first snow melted in October, they were eating barbecue in the backyard. The fresh venison was cut into small pieces and grilled on an iron grill. It wasn't Su Wanru who remembered it, but Ge Yujie.
Zhu Xun came here smelling the fragrance, a little green among the thousands of flowers, and had a great time playing with the girls.
"Let me be the husband." Zhu Xun quietly pulled Su Wanru, "It's better here. There are so many girls, although they are noisy, but they can satisfy my vanity."
Vanity is a word Su Wanru taught him. When he is admired by someone with good conditions, he will feel a sense of vanity and satisfaction in his heart.
"Someone admires you?" Su Wanru looked at him amusedly, Zhu Xun waved her hands, "Little girls are reserved, even if they love you, they will keep it to themselves."
She laughed and shook her head, and said: "I can't stop you if you want to come to play. After all, your status is not low. If the elders of the little girls don't tell me, I don't know. But you can't do it if you want to be a husband. There is a pure-hearted man here." Desire, Lord Ning, the wind of the king's heart, will do, if you come, you will disturb the water."
Zhu Xun snorted, dissatisfied: "Why do I disturb the water when I come here, Zhao Zhongyuan is not, he is a gentleman and so am I."
"Zhu Zhengyan." Ge Yujie yelled outside, "Whether your meat is still roasted or not, we'll have to move it out."
Zhu Xun jumped up in a jerk, "You are cursing. Roast my meat. Do you dare to eat it after I roast it?"
"I'll eat it if you dare to roast it." Ge Yujie said, "What's the difference between human meat and venison? The Marquis of Zhennan still ate it back then. I heard that it was because of eating human meat that he won the battle."
Zhu Xun snorted, and the two went to the yard noisily.
Su Wanru chuckled, roasting Zhu Zhengyan's meat is not tasty, it should be roasting Zhennan Hou's, let's see if his meat tastes better after eating human flesh.
However, it is good to be with the children, and you can forget a lot of troubles. She smiled and saw a small servant coming in at the door. She smiled and said: "The father-in-law is here, but what is the order of the company?"
"Here is the key." The little father-in-law handed a key to Su Wanru, "Elder-in-law said that the person who rented the shop has moved out, and I will leave the shop to you from now on."
Su Wanru took the key and handed her little father-in-law a purse of ten taels of silver, she always did this, but whenever people around Si Sanbao came to talk to her, she would always have a purse of ten taels of silver, generous and quick.
So everyone around Si Sanbao is willing to do things for her, and they can get ten taels of silver for a trip, and Su Wanru is not only good-looking, but also a very gentle and talkative person.
Such an errand is a beautiful one.
As soon as the little eunuch left, Su Wanru looked down at the key and smiled lightly. When Zhao Yan came in and saw her smirking while sitting on the rose bed, she couldn't help but also laughed, "What's the matter, so happy."
"Look." Su Wanru shook the key in her hand, "My backer has brought the shop."
Zhao Yan knew about the relationship between Su Wanru and Si Sanbao, and Su Wanru never kept these things from her, "What are you going to do?"
"Business." Su Wanru winked mischievously at him, "You will know in a month."
Zhao Yan chuckled, shook his head, and said, "Are you short of money? Or, do you want to earn a lot of money?"
"Who would despise a lot of money." Su Wanru said with a smile: "Of course it is lying on the mountain of gold and silver!"
Zhao Yan touched her head, and felt that such a woman really wanted to hide her at home, pamper her well, and raise her exquisitely. She is like fine porcelain, and she needs to be cared for carefully, but now she is acting as a Cleared up the rubble and stood upright to shelter others from the wind and rain.
How can he let it go, even if he knows that she doesn't have himself in her heart, he still wants to wait a while and watch her turn into fine porcelain again, even if he is not the one who takes care of her, he still wants to watch the porcelain be bright and clean, blooming in splendor .
"I'm fine today, I'll go take a look." Su Wanru got up as she spoke, Zhao Yan said, "I'll accompany you."
Su Wanru nodded, and the two of them went to the East Street in two carriages. The shops here are doing very well, and the people who come and go are rich families. Going forward is the city gate, and the merchants coming and going are extremely lively.
Opening the door, the two of them entered the shop. The original goods inside had been cleared out, but the shelves were still there, probably because the owner in front didn't want them. The shop was so big that she asked Zhao Yan to walk back and forth, and went deep into the shop. There are seventeen and a half steps and a width of 32 steps.
"Move the back wall back a bit." Su Wanru patted the back wall, "Move another fifteen cloth back, do you think it's okay, the wall won't collapse, right?"
Su Wanru doesn't understand these things.
"It doesn't matter if the wall is not load-bearing on this level." Zhao Yan then walked fifteen steps, "It can be moved here, and the backyard is still very big, so it can be fully covered and used as a warehouse."
Su Wanru smiled lightly and gave a thumbs up, "My lord is smart!"
"How can I be smart, if I am smart, I should know what you are going to do." Zhao Yan said.
Su Wanru just wandered around the backyard. She really doesn't know much. During this period of time, whenever her mind is free, she will think about the next thing to do. It should be possible to fill in the gaps and find gaps.
"I knew I should learn more." Su Wanru muttered. It's not unusual to learn chemistry or something, so you don't just study rote books and only know embroidery.
Zhao Yan laughed and said: "You already know a lot, more than usual, don't be greedy."
"My lord, I'm not an ordinary person." Su Wanru raised her eyebrows, "I'm a fairy!"
Zhao Yan seldom laughed out loud, with wanton joy in his laughter. He nodded and said, "It seems that I also want to practice a little bit, so that Shengxian can stand on the same cloud as you."
It's hard to answer these words, Su Wanru interrupted with a smile, and changed the topic.
She doesn't want Shen Zhan either, right? Otherwise, she never mentioned it.
Su Wanru found her former foreman, and everyone was already very familiar with her. She said with a smile, "Auntie just happened to find it. If it's a month later, we will be separated and return home for the New Year."
"After finishing here, take more home for the New Year." Su Wanru said with a smile: "Start work early, go home early."
The foreman should be, walking in the shop with Su Wanru, Su Wanru said: "This time, we don't need many craftsmen, but we need carpenters. You can find more craftsmen, and I will make a lot of things."
Artisans should be.
It took three days for everyone to negotiate together, and two or three days to buy wood and other tools, and then the construction started.
Su Wanru asked the foreman to find a few wooden boards to block the doorway. People coming and going on the street only knew that the inside was being renovated, but they couldn't see how the inside was being repaired and what it looked like.
For a while, the whole city became curious.
What is Principal Su going to do?
"Principal Su is not an ordinary person. What she has to do must be different from others."
"That's for sure, we'll just wait for the shop to open."
"The opening has nothing to do with you. What Principal Su does is not embroidery, but it is also related to embroidery."
There was a lot of discussion among the people, but there was incomparable curiosity and anticipation.
Su Wanru smiled lightly, she was sitting in the rice shop talking to Granny Liu, "...have you visited it, how was it?"
"Both my subordinates and Thirteenth Mother went to see it." Granny Liu smiled and said, "The weather is good before snowfall, so the growth is particularly good. When the shop opens, it will definitely be able to sell."
Su Wanru nodded and laughed, "Where in Jining, you have to write a letter and ask the head Zheng."
"It must be the same as the one in Daxing." Granny Liu was very happy, but puzzled, "Why did you choose Jining? It's too far away. It would take two days to get to the capital by water."
Su Wanru covered her face with a smile, and said: "The land in Jining is cheaper than that in Yanjing. Where is the land in and around the capital for us to use? If we rent it, we can't afford it."
Of course, Granny Liu knew that it wasn't because the land was too expensive for Su Wanru. With her ability, it was still possible to rent a piece of land, not to mention buying it.
But Su Wanru didn't say anything, and she didn't ask too much, because Su Wanru never did idle things.
In the past two days, Mr. Ge was resting at home due to illness, he had a cold, and now he had just taken his medicine and took a letter and leaned on the chair to take a nap.
Master Ge woke up within the time of a cup of tea, and suddenly felt refreshed. After drinking a cup of tea, he looked at his daughter and said with a smile: "Since she went to school, my daughter has become much more sensible and well-behaved. "
"Father, I've always been very well-behaved." Ge Yujie said with a smile, "Father, haven't the people from Jingzhou escorted them back to Beijing yet?"
What happened in August, it's already October, it's really slow to do things.
"There are so many people, so many family members, checking and reconciling accounts, there are many things to do. The Zhezi who just arrived a few days ago just set off, and so many people encountered heavy snow on their way. It would be good if they could arrive in the capital before the year." Mr. Ge As he spoke, he glanced at his daughter strangely, "Why did you suddenly ask about the court, but what did one of your classmates tell you?"
"It's Miss Dong." Ge Yujie looked at Master Ge curiously, "Father, is it good or not to go outside? Sister Dong said that his father doesn't want to go to Jingzhou."
The matter of letting go outside really cannot be generalized, Mr. Ge said: "It was good at first, after all, Huguang is a rich place, and all the officials who let go outside are plotting with Xiao Jian's head. But now it has become a bad place." It is normal for Mr. Dong not to want to go to this place."
The officialdom in Jingzhou fluctuated up and down, just like the round of leaf cards was reshuffled. Going there now, it seems that it is a big show of strength, but it is not easy to use it. The officials have been greedy for so much money. It hurts the vitality, and it is difficult to recover within three to five years.
Officials sent out have a term of three years, and if they fail to do anything during one term, it will be a stain on the official name of their achievements. They will wait for another three years... It is their duty to make achievements.
Anyone who is smarter and has some background, no one wants to go to Huguang now.
What a thankless task.
"Then you can help her." Ge Yujie said, "I have a very good relationship with her. Her mother is from Pingjiang Prefecture. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, she made a lot of mooncakes for us to eat. They are delicious."
In her class, people brought snacks almost every day and shared them with each other.
Because no one is stupid, born here, and his father's official position is here, the school has become an officialdom, even better than the officialdom.
A few days ago, Mr. Ge had done something through his daughter. One of his fellow criminals went to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and asked to come to him, but he had no contact with the people in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. They were usually these people. She came to beg him to do something, but now she is asking him to beg someone else, she really can't bear this face.
Mrs. Ge reminded her, let Ge Yujie tell Ms. Cui, who knows, within a few days his fellow department changed prisons, and half a month later, he came out.
This surprised Mr. Ge, and realized for the first time the benefits of this female school.
"Father will figure it out." Master Ge replied to his daughter, "However, it is really not easy to do this. After all, Master Dong's order has been issued, and it is a certainty to let it out, but where to go in the end, father can decide." Try it out."
"Okay." Ge Yujie cheered up, "Thank you dad."
Master Ge patted his daughter's head, he wanted to check this Master Dong, if he could use it, he would help him, he would use it for him in the future, and if he couldn't use it, he would still send it to Jingzhou. He was not formally asked to come here, nor did he promise anything.
After thinking about it, Mr. Ge looked at his daughter and became more and more satisfied, "I heard that your Principal Su has recently started busy with business again?"
"That's right." Ge Yujie smiled and said, "Our principal said that he will open a shop for us women, and everything in it will be our women's favorite."
These words are weird, no matter how capable Principal Su is, he is only a child of fifteen or sixteen.
"Okay, okay. If she is short of money and wants to be like a stock, you can pay some money." Mr. Ge said: "Three 5000 taels, the family can afford it."
Ge Yujie was of course happy when his father took a fancy to the person he liked. He felt a sense of pride, nodded and said, "Then I'll ask her. But this time she didn't mention buying shares, so I don't think so."
As soon as Master Ge said, he didn't care whether it was successful or not.
"Aunt Su." Lu Yi knocked on the door, Su Wanru just woke up, she looked at him with her hair covered in haze, "Uncle Lu, it's not even dawn yet."
Lu Yi looked at the corners of her mouth and closed the door, fearing that the wind would blow her, "Officer Liu asked someone to send a message, saying that his ship will arrive in Tongzhou in three days."
"It's here?" Su Wanru jumped up happily, "It's really coming. Oh, I'm going to check the shop, and I'm going to urge the foreman to work overnight for three days."
Lu Yi said: "Is there anything you can ask me to do?"
"Yes." Su Wanru said: "But it's not today, after two days you will take someone to Daxing and help me get something back."
Lu Yi nodded yes.
Su Wan kept her feet on the ground, urged the workers, and finished the shop. A day later, Guanren Sun came back with more than thirty bullock carts, and Guanren Miao came with him.Liu Kang took the boat, while Sun Guanren and Miao Guanren still went to the Western Regions.
But this time, none of the things they brought back were sold, and all of them were taken to the capital.
Everyone saw the newly recruited buddy, carrying boxes of things to the backyard, but they didn't know what they were moving.
Lu Yi went to Daxing and returned after running for two days and pulling seven or eight carts of things.
On the fourth day of November, when Liu Kang arrived in Tongzhou, Sun Guanren went to pick up the people in person, the cargo of two ships, more than [-] vehicles ran two rounds and did not finish.
"It's all these things, it's enough to sell for a few years." The neighbors on the left and right looked at it, their curiosity reached its peak, how long will it take to sell this carload of cars piled up in the backyard.
"Let's go to our shop first." Su Wanru led Liu Kang to the shop together, Liu Kang was dumbfounded, and even forgot all the hard work along the way, and said in astonishment: "...Auntie is right , no matter how much it is, we can eat it.”
"That's right." Su Wanru covered her face and smiled, "So this year, you and Sun Guanren will stay in Beijing for the New Year, and see what sells well, and when you go out next year, you can get more."
Liu Kang nodded yes, then remembered to talk to Su Wanru about sailing, "...the four people my aunt sent are very useful, if they didn't help me guard the boat day and night, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."
Going out, especially with the money in these two ships, was more dangerous than he thought.
"Thank you." Su Wanru smiled and said, "Leave next year, you will have experience."
Liu Kang smiled and said yes.
"You don't need to worry about things here, go home and rest first, we will officially open on the sixth day of the lunar new year!" Su Wanru said: "Before the Chinese New Year, we will be able to clear out five or two of the goods."
Liu Kangying walked a few steps, then remembered something, "Can someone come for the opening?"
"Please." Su Wanru smiled and said, "I also invited dragon and lion dancers, bought a whole carload of firecrackers, and... a dozen young and beautiful girls."
Liu Kang couldn't stand still and staggered, holding on to the door frame, he didn't know what he thought of, and went out with an embarrassed expression.
"Manager Qiao." Su Wanru yelled inside, and a man in his thirties with a pale face came out, "Boss, what are your orders?"
Shopkeeper Qiao was still Qiao's father-in-law half a month ago, but now he is the manager here.
It was she who asked Si Sanbao to send a smart and intelligent eunuch, saying that she had no one to use, so she asked Si Sanbao to give it to her. Si Sanbao scolded a few words and sent Eunuch Qiao.
She didn't care whether Father-in-law Qiao was capable or not, what she cared about was whether Si Sanbao was happy or not.
It's still the same sentence, if he didn't raise Si Sanbao to be white and fat, how could he protect her all the way unimpeded.
Still the same sentence, there are some things that Shen Zhan can't do, Zhao Yan can't do, but Si Sanbao can.
However, to her surprise, the treasurer Qiao is very capable. Three generations of his family have been businessmen, and he made a small fortune by reselling goods from the north and the south during the war, but no one used the wealth. When he was five years old At that time, the whole family died.
It was not easy for Eunuch Qiao to survive, and later he became a eunuch by chance and followed Si Sanbao...
"We're going to work harder these two days." Su Wanru said with a smile, "I'm here at night too. Let's arrange the goods and open on time at noon on the sixth day."
Shopkeeper Qiao nodded. He liked this new job very much, it made him look like a man, "Okay, this kind of goods can be finished in one day and one night."
They were busy, and Si Sanbao, the head of the palace, took a box to Fengwu Palace. Madam Liu smiled and said, "Master Si, why are you free today?"
"I got some gadgets, I want to give the empress something new." Si Sanbao said with a smile.
With Si Sanbao's status now, he doesn't need to curry favor with the queen at all, but these things were sent to him by Su Wanru, half a box as a favor.
He didn't say who he would give favors to, but the only ones Si Sanbao needed to be favors were the queen and the nobles in the palace, and the princesses. "
Nanny Liu went back, and after a while Si Sanbao came in, the queen looked at him with a smile, and said, "What a good thing, Baba made a special trip to bring it to me."
"It's something from the Netherlands." Si Sanbao smiled, and passed the box in his hand. When he opened it, there was a scent coming out of the glass bottle with a narrow neck. The queen sniffed it and smiled. Said: "What am I supposed to be? It's the same as the dew from the Western Regions."
"It's not the same." Si Sanbao said with a smile, "The smell of toilet water is too strong, but this one has a weak smell, a faint fragrance of camellia."
Really, the queen held it in her hand and looked at it, "It's a good thing. You got it from the Su family? Everyone in the palace gave it away?"
"Not yet, yours is the first." Si Sanbao said with a smile: "However, only you have this scented perfume, and the other palaces have the same mint fragrance. Not only in the palace, but in the whole capital, There are only three bottles of camellia fragrance!"
The three bottles are all here, the queen looked at this bottle again and she was more pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile: "It smells good." She took two pieces of glass and came out with a gold chain, "What is this?"
"Glasses." Si Sanbao said: "Your Majesty, try it, put it on your eyes, you can see clearly."
Su Wanru said it was reading glasses, old people with bad eyesight can try it.
"Really." The queen tried to put the glasses on and finally put them on. Si Sanbao hurriedly brought a small book over, and the queen laughed when she saw it, "The Holy Majesty can use this thing. Look at it." Much clearer."
"I bought a lot of these, and I will send a pair to the Holy Majesty later." Si Sanbao said with a smile.
The things sent to the queen should be explained clearly, so that the queen will not find it unusual in the future.
"Great love, this palace is still the first one." The queen smiled lightly, and gave the things to Nanny Liu, "Try it, wait for Su's shop to open some other day, and we will spend money to buy another pair."
Nanny Liu was comfortable to wear, and asked Si Sanbao with a smile, "How much is this pair?"
"When Su Shi delivered it, he said that this pair will cost 50 taels of silver, and the purchase is not much, so go early and get it early." Si Sanbao said.
50 taels to buy two pieces of glass, no matter how expensive the glass is, there is no such price. There is also that bottle of perfume, which smells better than floral dew, but is several times more expensive than floral dew. One bottle is priced at 18 taels.
Si Sanbao was speechless secretly, women's things really cost money.
It's no wonder that when the girl said something, we were full of it.
"When will it open?" Madam Liu said with a smile, "I will also go to see it on the opening day. Everyone in the capital is eagerly looking forward to what kind of novel store it is."
Si Sanbao smiled and said, "Noon on the sixth day."
Nanny Liu nodded and looked at the queen. The queen smiled and said, "Go, spend the money you saved, and experience the feeling of spending a lot of money."
"Yes!" Nanny Liu replied with a smile.
On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the city was full of excitement. Everyone wanted to buy new year's goods before the year. Therefore, the shop was crowded with people. As noon was approaching, Su Wanru walked out with a smile on her face. After the dragon dance, lion dance and firecracker sound, she He only said briefly, "Opening today, anyone who spends more than five taels of silver will get a juan handkerchief produced by Jinxiu Fang, and those who shop for more than one hundred taels will get a pair of hanging screens!"
One must know that Ying Jin's handkerchiefs cost a lot of money in the market, and the hanging screens were made by the little embroiderer, and they cost seven or eight taels.
Everyone's curiosity reached its peak, what kind of shop can buy a hundred taels of stuff at once.
Su Wanru clapped her hands, pulled the cloth hanging on the plaque, and huh, everyone saw the plaque displayed!
World Department Store!
Such a big name, if it were someone else, they would probably be pointed at, but Su Wanru did this, everyone felt nothing for no reason.
Su Jin's ability is obvious to all.
"Aunt Su, please open the door, we've been waiting for a long time." Someone shouted.
Su Wanru smiled, nodded and said, "Open the door!"
When the door opened, everyone saw all the girls at the door, wearing uniform pink trousers, with bright smiles on their youthful faces, watching everyone move in unison, with a charming voice, "Welcome to watch!"
"There are still girls." Everyone laughed, and the girls had already dispersed, and Su Wanru invited them in.
Immediately, bursts of exclamations were heard from inside.
It's a supermarket. There are rows of shelves, and things are stored in different areas. When you enter the door, each person will be given a shopping basket. You can pick up what you want, and put it in the basket to go out to check out.
There are countless varieties in the daily use area, the fresh snacks in the food area are fragrant, and the department stores in the odd goods area are full of beautiful things.
For those who don't know the purpose and have never seen it, only the shopping guide girl came up to explain.
And the fresh section at the back has seafood and fresh green leafy vegetables.
In winter, green leafy vegetables are so rare.
So, after a while, there was not even a single leaf left of the piled green leafy vegetables, and even those department stores that cost more than a dozen taels were half emptied.
At the end of the day, Su Wanru was extremely tired, and settled the bill with the shopkeeper Qiao under the lamp, while in the backyard Lu Yi brought someone to bring fresh strangers.
Shopkeeper Qiao had been tired for half a month, but he was extremely excited tonight. He didn't go home after his part-time job, but went directly to Si Sanbao, "...Si, the servant is here."
"Well. How about opening today?" Si Sanbao was very concerned about this matter, but he didn't care to the point of thinking about it all the time. After all, he just opened the business, and he had to wait until he had money.
Shopkeeper Qiao put today's turnover on the table, "...the cost on the top is the converted wage, the selling price is next to it, the quantity sold is the column to the left, the total price is the column to the left, and the next column is the total price. On the left is net profit."
Si Sanbao scanned it and looked directly at the net profit, numbers were neatly written on it.
Five thousand 130 four twenty-eight dollars.
"Is this for one day?" Even Si Sanbao stood up abruptly, pointing at the account book, showing an expression of disbelief.
You can't earn so much in a day from mining gold.
"Yes." Shopkeeper Qiao said, "Aunt Su said it's the first day. Afterwards, everyone's excited period will be over, and the turnover will be less, but there should still be three or four thousand taels a day."
Si Sanbao wanted to scold someone, this dead girl, no wonder she drank with him all day and got arrogant.
I didn't expect her to be really confident.
"However..." Shopkeeper Qiao said: "Aunt Su sighed when she settled the accounts just now, and said that if it is convenient to sail, she can have more money. Her raw vegetables are all grown in Jining, and the goods are shipped from overseas. It's really troublesome."
"What does she mean?" Si Sanbao knew that Su Wanru never talked nonsense to him, and she just asked for something.
Shopkeeper Qiao didn't know if he was thinking right or not, and said, "Water transport! Aunt Su said, let Eunuch help her get a water transport. The old rules, you give advice, and she contributes the money."
Water transportation is not as simple as buying a few boats and finding a hundred people.
Instead, it is necessary to build a special transshipment terminal and set up supply escorts. This involves many government offices and involves even greater interests.
"Aunt Su said that if a water transport can be arranged, it can also be rented out. She has inquired about a boat going all the way. It is fifty silver. How many merchant ships are there on the canal on this day."
Si Sanbao's heart was pounding, as if he saw mountains of gold and silver!
"Miscellaneous, think about it, miscellaneous, think carefully." Si Sanbao glanced at today's profit again, feeling a buzzing in his head.
Money is touching.
Si Sanbao is a vulgar person, a vulgar person, he is not only tempted, he is really tempted!
At this moment, Su Wanru, who was holding a handcuff and smiling, was leaning on the soft couch. Duan Zhen stood in front of her and said hesitantly, "Do you think the company will be tempted?"
"I've done so much just for this step!" Su Wanru smiled, and said, "If so much money is thrown in front of him, if he doesn't feel tempted, he's not Si Sanbao."
Duan Zhen was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked, he looked at Su Wanru excitedly, and said: "Subordinate...subordinates go down and prepare!"
"Go." Su Wanru glanced at the account book, "Shen Zhan is coming back soon, I need to finish this quickly."
If Shen Zhan was merciless, she wouldn't have to be afraid of him.
This one is very important... So, although it is a bit clichéd, I still bear to read it, hehe.
