After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute

Chapter 213: Starting a Business with Everyone

Both sides were proceeding in an orderly manner. Changbai and Changyun had now become Liu Huan's personal assistants, running around quickly.

On the day of raising the workshop's beam, snow fell all over the sky as expected, and the beam-raising ceremony was carried out lively with the sound of gongs and drums.

Since everyone already knew that it was his own business, Liu Huan simply dressed up and attended the beam-raising ceremony.

Candies and coins were falling from the sky, and the children below were scrambling for them. Even An Zhi and An Ran picked up several.

"Mom, this is for you." An Ran handed something to Liu Huan.

Liu Huan took it, and it was a copper coin with dirt on it, "Thank you, baby, did your brother find anything?"

An Zhi said coolly: "It's all with her." An Zhi is a typical good brother who takes care of his sister in everything.

Liu Huan did not interfere with their way of getting along. His son was as mature as an adult and he knew what he was doing.

After the beams were put up, everything went very quickly. After the tiles were covered, the interior decoration began. The carpenter was very professional and did everything according to the drawings drawn by Liu Huan.

In ancient times, people didn’t have to worry about formaldehyde. They would just choose an auspicious day to open the house and then move in.

From then on, the men's work came to an end and the women began to take the stage.

All contracts must be signed before entering, and even if you don't work there, you are not allowed to sell your skills to others. If you violate the rules, you will go to jail.

Of course you can choose not to sign and just turn around and leave.

None of the people who came were willing to leave, and they signed the deed without hesitation. Everyone knew that this was opened by the county magistrate's wife, and no one had the courage to spread the news.

After seeing that everyone had signed the contract, Liu Huan told everyone the rules for payment of wages.

"Twenty copper coins a day, paid at the end of each month. After the first batch of goods is sold, as long as the profit is good, dividends will be distributed to everyone. As for how to distribute it, you will know later."

"I can guarantee that as long as everyone works here wholeheartedly, the wages will not be worse than in other places."

With Liu Huan's words, everyone was full of fighting spirit. Until the pigs for sale came in one after another, everyone thought they were going to sell pork.

"This... Can this much pork be sold?"

"Even if it's selling pork, it wouldn't require so many people, right?"

My heart, which was originally full of fighting spirit, began to lose heart at this moment. Can this really last long?

Gradually, everyone's doubts were dispelled, and even when they went back, everyone had a bag of pork in their hands. Even if it was just the leftovers, everyone was very happy.

The workshop is divided into several rooms, and people are not allowed to visit each other's rooms. They just have to focus on their respective tasks. This is also to ensure that the recipe will not be leaked too early.

Liu Huan is not a living Bodhisattva. She invests so much money to make everyone rich for a win-win situation, not to be a money-giving boy.

At least you have to earn your own capital.

The two workshops were open, and the work generated was enough to keep half of the people from starvation. As long as one was diligent, one could earn money even by picking up shells outside.

After the winter bamboo shoots are cooked, they are packaged and sold in the city and are sold out in just one day.

Of course, most of this is due to Liu Huan’s fame.

When everyone heard that the workshop was opened by the county magistrate's wife, they were very polite and started paying money even without tasting the food.

I originally bought it just to take care of the business, but after I got it back I found that it was surprisingly delicious.

Especially after a month of eating bland food, eating some sour bamboo shoots will instantly whet your taste buds. The only bad thing is that you have to cook two extra bowls of rice at home.

The first batch of soap has also come out. It is neatly arranged in a special room to dry and saponify for more than a month before it can be sold. The date of each day's production will be marked to ensure the saponification time and quality of the soap.

Liu Huan sighed more than once, fortunately he had a lot of money, otherwise he would not have the opportunity to do good deeds.

Everything is basically on the right track at this point. The winter bamboo shoots can still be produced for a long time. When the city is saturated with them, they will be transported to other places to sell. She is not worried about this at all.

So she began her winter sleep again.

I slept until noon and there were two charcoal fires in the room. The whole room was warm and perfect for sleeping.

Every time Su Yi left, he tiptoed, for fear of waking her up.

When Liu Huan woke up that day, he saw the person who was supposed to go to the government office to work was writing something at the desk with a serious look and a frown on his face.

"Aren't you going to the government office today?"

When Su Yi saw that she woke up, he walked to the door and called Qiu Rong to bring in some water for washing. Then he turned to the bedside and answered her questions.

"Have you forgotten that today is Laba Festival?"

Liu Huan smiled embarrassedly, "I was thinking about it yesterday, but I forgot it this morning."

Su Yi looked at the sky outside and complained, "It's not this morning, it's noon now, An Ran has been here several times."

Liu Huan raised his head and retorted, "It's winter, we need to sleep to keep healthy."

Su Yi did not refute her twisted logic. Seeing that she was fine, he went back to do his own thing.

After washing up and eating, Liu Huan went over and found that he was looking at the river distribution map of Nanchang County.

Nanchang County is flooded almost every year. As soon as it rains, water from upstream will flow down. If it is more serious, there will be mountain torrents, like this time.

Su Yi has been thinking about a solution.

Liu Huan glanced at it and said casually, "This is easy. Just dig a reservoir."

Su Yi turned his gaze from the map to her, looked at her face and asked, "Reservoir?"

"It's a place where water is stored. It stores water in the rainy season and releases it in the dry season. It won't flood, and it won't be dry in the summer."

After hearing Liu Huan say this, Liu Huan stood up suddenly, grabbed her shoulders tightly, and his eyes were full of excitement.

When Liu Huan didn't understand what was going on, he kissed her on the lips and said, "You are really my lucky star." Then he ran out with the blueprint.

Liu Huan urged from behind: "Come back early."

Liu Huan believed that with Su Yi's brain, he would be able to come up with a complete plan as long as he was given a hint. Even if he couldn't think of it, it didn't matter, as he had her as his military advisor.

She was really grateful to the short video platform in her previous life, otherwise how would she know so much.

It’s strange to say, but after more than 20 years, my memory has not become blurred by time but has become clearer and clearer. It seems that what happened in my previous life happened not long ago.

Laba Festival is a festival that everyone attaches great importance to. Su Yi was not out for long and came back after a short while.

The whole person feels much more relaxed, and can even fly high with Anran in his arms.

"What made him so happy?"

Liu Huan smiled and said, "Some official business, I don't know either."

The holidays started two days after Laba Festival. The government office was on holiday, so Liu Huan also gave the workshop a holiday.

After all the wages were paid, they also distributed New Year gifts, which were the products they made and two kilograms of pork for each family.

This year is the first year that the Su family and An Zhi have spent together peacefully. Everyone attaches great importance to it and has started preparations early.

Su's mother made a set of festive clothes for each of them, and started preparing various foods from her hometown around the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.

The two children were very wild after putting down the dummy, especially An Ran, who was brandishing swords and guns all day long and brought Chen Yu with him.

On New Year's Eve, Liu Huan did not slack off again.

She got up early, washed and changed into the new clothes made by Su's mother. When the three of them met, they gathered around to discuss whose clothes looked better.

Su Yi was infected by their happiness and also changed into the red robe prepared by his mother.

The family began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, and the two children also joined in making dumplings. Mother Su never stopped smiling all day.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner and staying up late, Su's mother couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if the family could be together."

When I was young, I hoped that my children would be successful. When they grew up, they did become successful. However, the price of being successful was that they were far away from home and had more ties.

"Mom, you should come with us when we go to the capital."

When Su's mother heard this, her eyes looked a little lonely, and she subconsciously refused: "No, your father and I are not used to living in the capital."

Su's mother did want to, but she was afraid that her son would cause trouble again, just like that year.

She was originally very happy to go to live with her son who was an official, but she was not happy for a single day.

Su Yi also knew her concerns, and he didn't intend to say anything at this time. After all, there were still two years left.

The whole family stayed up together until dawn. The two children could not resist and fell asleep. Liu Huan also fell asleep on the table.

Su Yi, the only one who was awake, carried the three women to the bed.

When he was holding Anzhi, he clearly felt that the little body stiffened, but he did not expose them and covered them with a quilt before leaving.

The moment the door closed, An Zhi opened his eyes and looked around, then quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep next to Liu Huan.

The Su family has no relatives here and does not need to visit. Only people from the county government come to pay New Year's greetings.

Everything is ready on the eighth day of the first lunar month, so everyone chooses that day to start construction.

Su Yi had not rested except on New Year's Eve. He had been drawing and revising his drawings over and over again. Liu Huansong would also give him some suggestions when he saw him eating.

The reservoir is a huge project. If it is to be started, it will require funding from the court and it will take a long time, so Su Yi has to write a perfect memorial to report it and try to get the emperor's consent.

"What do you think of mine?"

Su Yi took the design drawing to Liu Huan for advice. He drew it in great detail and even thought of how to cut off the river water.

"Perfect, this way there will be no flooding downstream."

After receiving the affirmation, Su Yi submitted the memorial to the capital as soon as possible, and the memorial arrived in the capital a month later.

The emperor mentioned this matter during the morning court session, and the ministers unanimously agreed. They also believed that it could be promoted nationwide, especially in those areas that are often flooded.

Taking into account the tight treasury, it was finally decided to implement it in Nanchang County first, and then in other places if it is feasible.

As soon as the court's funding and imperial edict arrived, Su Yi immediately gathered everyone to start implementing the plan.

It was difficult to start work in the spring due to heavy rains, so he asked people to mine stones near the selected site.

Now there are more people who want it, and many families sign up two or three at a time.

Many people no longer cultivated the land they rented from landlords and went to work there.

For a while, the whole Nanchang County was discussing, "I heard that it will take one or two years to build a reservoir. We have to save more money."

"Yes, I heard that it's 40 cents a day, so there are a lot of people who signed up."

"My children are still young, so I'd like to save some money to get married in the next two years."

On the day of the groundbreaking ceremony, Su Yi personally led everyone to offer sacrifices to the heavens, then dug a hoe into the ground. The entire construction period officially began.

For safety reasons, Liu Huan used the workshop that used to make winter bamboo shoots to make safety helmets and vests.

Bright yellow is the royal color and ordinary people dare not use it. Liu Huan used a red vest which was very conspicuous.

Safety helmets do not have modern polymer materials, so Liu Huan tried other materials again and again and finally decided to ask the military how helmets are made.

After understanding it, I reduced some weight and a simple red safety helmet was made.

As long as everyone who goes to work must wear a mask, stone mining has great safety hazards, and flying rocks splashing on the stones can be fatal.

Some people were hoping for luck and didn't wear them, and as a result, flying stones made a hole in their heads and they died on the spot.

The rest of the people behaved themselves and wore helmets every time.

In order to provide for everyone's meals, Liu Huan built a wooden house nearby and hired someone to cook. A meal cost four cents and consisted of one meat dish, two vegetable dishes and a soup.

Many people can’t bear to eat so they bring their own food home.

Everything was going on in full swing, and Nanchang County became the envy of people in other counties.

Su Yi went out early in the morning and came back after dark. The weight he had regained with great difficulty because of the supervisor had quickly become thinner again.

Liu Huan made different soups for him every day, and even added a lot of Chinese medicine in it.

Finally one night, Su Yi had a nosebleed.

Liu Huan was so scared that he smashed the bowl, "What's wrong? Qiu Rong, call a doctor."

The doctor smiled knowingly and said, "Your Excellency has taken too many supplements. More haste makes waste. Madam, you'd better take your time."

Before Liu Huan understood what the doctor meant, Su Yi had already started laughing.

As soon as the others left, Liu Huan looked at him seriously: "What are you laughing at? What does he mean?"

Su Yi asked what was put in the soup, and Liu Huan remembered the doctor's expression when he went to get the medicine when he heard that it was for men's body tonic.

She didn't realize what it meant at the time, but now combined with Su Yi's symptoms and what the doctor said.

Her face flushed, "I..."

That damn doctor was such a rip-off. How could she explain this?

Su Yi smiled ambiguously, looking at Liu Huan with seductive eyes, "Madam, if you are not satisfied, you can tell your husband."

Liu Huan's face turned even redder, and he turned his back and stammered, "What nonsense are you talking about, you really are..."

When he was about to leave, he suddenly stumbled and fell into Su Yi's arms.

"Huanhuan, I feel uncomfortable~"

Those deep eyes were filled with emotions that Liu Huan couldn't understand, but his mouth was full of innocence.

Liu Huan swallowed and said, "Then...then should I call the doctor back?"

Su Yi stood up and bolted the door, then came back and said in a hoarse voice: "No need for a doctor, just come here~"

Under the pressure of his tall body, Liu Huan fell to the bed without knowing when. His head was dizzy and he felt like a drunk.

Her wrist was held by a hot hand all the way down, Su Yi's head and neck were intertwined with hers, and when she wanted to refuse, he breathed in her ear, "Help me~"

I finally understand what the cenotaph of a hero in the land of pleasure is. Who can hold back such a deadly gasp?

Liu Huan half-heartedly let him hold her hand and do whatever he wanted.

The moment their lips and tongues intertwined, she felt like she was drowning and couldn't breathe. When she was on the verge of death, she was pulled back by Su Yi.

The army was routed before him.
