Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Returning home, Wang Xiujin felt very at ease. He traveled back and forth between the capital and Wangcun these years, and he was especially able to understand those people in his previous life who were eager to go home at the end of the year.After rolling on the bed with the quilt in his arms, he got up and changed his clothes to meet the elders.After working hard for a year, no matter whether it went well or not, he would not reveal it in front of his mother, but when chatting with his father in the study, Wang Xiujin talked a lot, and at the same time, he heard the things that happened in Wangcun in the past year. For example, the village head was changed again, and his eldest son took over, that is, Wang Juye's father.It is said that the previous village chief was ill. Wang Xiujin thought about going to the village chief's house when he was free, to see his uncle, and to send the presents along with him.

I chatted with my father for a long time. Although he has always looked down on his father in various ways, he has to say that his father is worth learning in some aspects. When he first returned to the village, it was probably because he fell from a towering cloud. It is also possible that the father has not found himself from the huge gap. At that time, the father feels that this will be the case in the future.Of course, these are Wang Xiujin's guesses.After handing over the letter Li Sushan asked him to bring, Wang Xiujin got up and left.

In the evening, the family had a reunion dinner, and Wang Xiubo hurried back to the city. Recently, there were several murders in Wuxian County. He had just found some clues, and then broke the clues. Wang Xiubai had to keep an eye on the yamen.Even though Wu County is not big, it got its name from oil mills and grain shops. The city is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are many vendors coming and going, so there is no room for mistakes.

To solve the case, Wang Xiujin didn't activate this skill, but the few people he brought back were all retired from the army, so Wang Xiujin sent two people to follow his elder brother.If there was no murder case, Wang Xiubo would never have agreed to take the two followers with him, but now, he took them away without any hesitation.

After dinner, Wang Xiujin took his nephew and took gifts to the village head's house.There were still many people walking around in the village at the moment, the fellow clan saw Wang Xiujin and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, calling him "Master Guan".The relatives of the same clan followed Le and chatted a few gossips. Hearing that Wang Xiujin was going to the village chief's house, he hurriedly stepped aside and mentioned the previous village chief. "Looking at a tough person, it's a pity that he fell when he said he fell."

"Hey, I'm not angry with his third brother." Another interjected, "Isn't his third brother not able to grow crab rice? He just wanted to let his third brother plant two crops of rice. I don’t plant, I’m too busy to work, and I earn little. It’s okay in the past few years, but now the income is getting bigger and bigger. His third brother’s family is still broken, and they don’t work in the fields very much. They don’t have a good life. At the beginning of the new year, I went to the village head's house to make a fuss, and when the crab seedlings were planted in the spring, I ran to make a fuss again. After a few days of making a fuss, I got angry and fell to the ground Invited the doctor to come, and said that he was in a hurry, and if he couldn't take care of it, he had to prepare for the funeral. It was hard to take care of it, but the harvest was not a few days ago, and his third brother didn't dare to come forward, so he let the child come and make a fuss. I was dizzy again. After the previous agreement, the village chief handed it over to his son, who was much tougher than him, and suppressed many people who wanted to dictate based on their seniority."

Wang Xiujin slapped his tongue, said goodbye to a few people who were chatting, and continued to walk to the village chief's house, saying hello to the people he met one after another. Even if he met someone who didn't grow crab rice, he was not asked to sign a contract to farm. People are still very afraid of official authority.When he arrived at the village head's house, Wang Xiujin was still the same as before, saying hello and gossiping. He didn't ask the reason for his illness, but only said to take good care of his health. Let's go first, the old village chief's body may not be able to bear it, so he has to take care of his body for the sake of his close relatives.

I haven't stayed at the village chief's house for a long time, and I have said everything that needs to be said. Whether a person can feel relieved is not how much others say, but whether he can figure it out.After leaving the house, I sent my nephew to my mother, and then yawned all the way back to the yard to sleep.No matter how well the road is repaired, I can’t stand the tossing all the way, and I can’t sleep well when I go to the hotel. The doors of the guest rooms are all made of wood, and the windows are papered. How dare I sleep outside? As people get older, they become less and less courageous and feel more and more insecure, especially after experiencing the incident of being followed in the capital, Wang Xiujin, who has been a man for two lifetimes, could not escape this vicious circle after all.

Lie down on the bed and yawned, fell asleep after a while, no restlessness, no worries, slept soundly until dawn, and rarely stayed in bed for a second time.Rubbing his eyes, Wang Xiujin drowsily ate his breakfast in the room, and he seemed much more energetic after eating.Then he started to get busy. Even if he came back to hang out, he would not be free right away. He had a lot of things to do. Although he entrusted the checking of accounts to a group of novices, he still went to oil mills and shops, It's not that I don't feel at ease, but that I have to go through such a formality. It seems that this will make people on both sides feel at ease.

Apart from going through the motions, Wang Xiujin also wanted to discuss with his elder brother about setting up a textile workshop in Wu County. He wanted to follow the example of the oil workshop and build workshops in the capital, border and Wu County, so that the south, the north, and the center would all be taken care of. It also saves a lot of shipping costs. Don't underestimate the humble shipping costs. In ancient times, the transportation expenses were far more than others. Few merchants were willing to bear the transportation costs. Even if there is a loss, it is not a shipment. This is why the price of the same commodity varies greatly in different places with the same name.

Whether Wang Xiujin runs a workshop or a grain store, all the things he sells have a uniform price, and the losses caused during the transportation are also recognized by him and will not be added to the goods sold. In Wang Xiujin's view, Instead of calculating this money, it is better to think more about making a living.

It is a good thing to open a workshop, Wang Xiubo will naturally not refuse, even if the workshop only recruits women, Wang Xiubai does not think there is anything wrong with it.A textile workshop does not have as many requirements as an oil workshop, as long as there is a place to build a factory.Originally, Wang Xiubo wanted to allocate the area close to the oil workshop to Wang Xiujin, but Wang Xiujin refused. The oil workshop is full of men, even if they have some physical defects, they can't change their gender. In his previous life, Wang Xiujin would never think too much about it. , but in ancient times, for the sake of a woman's reputation, it is better to pay attention to some details, so as to avoid any troubles in the future.

Wang Xiubai didn't care whether his younger brother accepted or rejected it, it was just a proposal, "Is the spinning work tiring? How much is the wage?"

"As long as you are a buddy, there is no one who is not tired. The wages will definitely be lower than those in the capital, but they are quite high in Wu County. In addition to the basic monthly money, there are also rewards. This is calculated by the catty." Wang Xiujin told his elder brother in detail the method he used in the workshop in the capital, and Wang Xiubai listened very seriously and thought this method was very good, "Brother asked so clearly, could it be that he wants elder sister-in-law to come to work? !"

"What are you thinking about? Some accident happened to a yamen servant in the yamen. Now the family relies on the mother-in-law to support the family. A woman has no means of earning a living. It is not easy to support the family. I just thought that if you start the workshop, let She went to work in the workshop." What Wang Xiubo didn't say was that the widow ran into the yamen every day to make trouble, even if he didn't show up, he felt upset when he heard her name.If there is something difficult to do, just say it straight, even if you want some money, you have to speak, if you have nothing to do, you will sit at the door, and do nothing but cry, the yamen is full of men, no one dares to come forward to comfort In other words, I'm afraid that after being glued to her, I won't be able to get rid of it.

"If you're serious about working, you'll go if you go. If you want to be confessed, forget it. All the people I recruit must be serious. Otherwise, if I run a workshop and lose money every day, how much money do I have to go to?" It’s enough to be in the house.” Wang Xiujin vaccinated the eldest brother in advance, “But then again, bro, you have to recruit a few female servants in the yamen, right? It’s not a solution to hide things like this, if someone is very talkative The female yamen servant is here, and she can get the words out in just a few words."

"When encountering such a thing before, it was your sister-in-law who came forward. Recently, the youngest son has caught the cold. Your sister-in-law has to take care of the child, so how can she come here?"

"You can't always bother my sister-in-law about the affairs in the yamen. Have you paid my sister-in-law that salary?" Wang Xiujin rolled his eyes. You still always pull people into the yamen, are you a sister-in-law with three heads and six arms? Can you take care of everything?"

"What you said makes sense, but I am not the only one who has the final say on recruiting people in the yamen, especially women. Whether the state government can agree to it is a question." Wang Xiubai smiled bitterly, "This is not the capital, women are rare. People who can read and write can't recruit a woman and send people around to record it every day!"

"Nothing is difficult, as long as there is a heart, if you have the heart, nothing will be a problem." Wang Xiujin shook his head and said, "If the matter of the workshop is settled, the subsidy price given will be the same as last time."

Wang Xiubai nodded, thinking about who should be in charge of this matter. "Should we start construction on the house immediately, or wait until next spring?"

"It will be after the spring of next year at the earliest, but the relocation can be started now, and there is no need to rush to move out, but the contract must be signed. If you don't move out in a few days, you need your elder brother to come forward." Wang Xiujin was very respectful Arching his hands, Wang Xiubai cursed with a smile.

At this time, Li Sushan who was in the capital was counting the time for Wang Xiujin to go on the road, and he didn't know if he would be home now, and whether Master Taishan would forgive him for the reason after reading the letter.
