Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

So much money was embezzled, the predecessor who had not moved out of the prefect's house was surrounded in the house, and the new prefect brought the team members who came over to build the house to check up and down the house, but collected some money. There are also some valuable things in the house, but the gap with the account is still very large, and among the valuable things, the magistrate's wife clearly stated that they were rewarded to her by the eldest princess.So, where did the stolen money go?The former prefect was also stupid, he didn't know about money at all.Looking at the appearance of the ex, it seems that he really doesn't know that the money is gone, and he can take the money away without knowing it. Either he is in charge of the money, or he is a very trustworthy person.

The former magistrate instinctively thought of his brother-in-law, and his face turned green.How could the magistrate who has not yet taken office miss the magistrate's face, so people first restrained the magistrate for questioning, and asked the question without much effort, and immediately arrested Mr. Yang who was praised by everyone in the city.

Li Sushan sent a message to the newly appointed magistrate very timely, and brought him back within an hour.The former magistrate pointed at his brother-in-law and cursed at him, but Mr. Yang sneered back, and even laughed wildly. The two even blamed each other, but no matter what, the former magistrate still had an official skin, while Mr. Yang was gone. Brother-in-law's protection is nothing.How the former magistrate should convict is not decided by the newly appointed magistrate. It needs to be decided by the people above after he returns to Beijing. As for Mr. Yang, he can be beheaded directly without any trouble.As for the official who locked up Mr. Yang, the new one will definitely not be able to use it, and he dare not use it.

Mr. Yang once again became the talking point of Qiucheng. Some people did not believe that Mr. Yang would do something to steal official money, and they were afraid that he would be pushed out by his brother-in-law as a scapegoat. In the restaurant, the new magistrate entertained Wang Xiujin He and Li Sushan originally planned to invite the second master Li and a few leaders in the military camp, but he was persuaded by Li Sushan to not invite them together. "Yuan thanked you both for your help."

"You're being polite, aren't we? We are all sharing the emperor's worries, so if we can help, naturally we won't be on the sidelines." Wang Xiujin replied with a smile. "In the days to come, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Prefect Yuan often."

"You should stand up and help each other." Yuan Zhifu raised his glass with a smile, "Yuan toasted the two of you with tea instead of wine."

All three of them had a good meal. As for how Yuan Zhifu suppressed those officials who were ready to move, it was not under Wang Xiujin's jurisdiction. He is not a capable person, but judging by the label on Yuan Zhifu's head, Wang Xiujin was worried about those officials who were plotting something, and had no choice but to send the handle to Yuan Zhifu.

The conversation about Mr. Yang was replaced by a new topic within two days, that is, two large workshops will be built in the city, and the location has been marked, and the relocation will start two days later.The common people speculated whether their homes were within the range of relocation, and some people said vividly that their homes would definitely be within the range, why soldiers and officers and soldiers had gone there several times, and why people who saw dignitaries and dignitaries went there.Wang Xiujin couldn't help but find it funny when he heard the rumors, but letting everyone spread them was better than talking about that hypocritical Mr. Yang every day.

Regarding the matter of the two workshops, the government posted a big list. The two workshops were funded by the imperial merchants. The oil workshop only recruited wounded soldiers who had retired from the barracks. If they did not recruit enough people before the start of work, The conditions will be relaxed, and some people who have had military status can be recruited.The range of textile workshops is wider, women spinning thread, women knitting, women doing odd jobs, women weaving, and finally there are men who dye cloth and thread.No matter the people in the city or the people coming from the villages listening to the wind, they were a little dumbfounded.Well, whether the workshop is good or bad, it has nothing to do with their gang of elders!

"It's so decent to recruit a group of women to work." A sour scholar kept shaking his head, pointing at the content on the list with shaking fingers, looking very angry.

"Oh, what's the matter with the woman, you were not raised by a woman?" The person who posted the poster was not a man from the government office, but a construction worker from the capital. Everyone is eager to let their daughter-in-law work in the workshop, but do you know why? Can a family save the same amount of money when two people make money and one person makes money? The daily food is a world difference. For the sake of face, I earn a lot less Money, and the whole family can’t have a good meal together, it can only be said that the brain is not working well.”

"You, you, ignorant child." Suanru was so angry that he lost face by being said, and couldn't find words to swear for a while.

The person who posted the poster would not care about him, he would be a literati!If it is said that among the literati, he is the most convincing, those who hang out with Mr. Wang, all of them are slippery, and they can speak to the point.

"What this young master said made some sense. I wonder how much a female worker can earn every month?" A strong man asked. Everyone wanted to know, but they didn't dare to ask, for fear of being told that they couldn't afford to support their mother-in-law.

"The base money plus the piece money plus the extra reward money." Ruiwen, who was watching from the side, stepped forward to answer after hearing the simple translation from the locals, "Well done, you can get it for a month." One or two is not a problem."

Those who heard it gasped. Women can earn one tael a month, but men dare not say that they can earn so much money. Two taels a month means 12 taels a year. This, this, this is too much up.

"When will we recruit people? Are there any conditions? Is it possible for my mother-in-law to be strong?" the strong man hurriedly asked.

"As long as the work at hand is meticulous, it doesn't matter how you look." Rui Wen hurriedly answered after listening to the translator. "Just don't worry, everyone, the workshop will sign three contracts, and one of them will be placed in the yamen." Having been with the young master for a long time, Rui Wen handles matters with great restraint, which made the other side a little late to catch up. The two incoming stewards who came over were a little bit complicated, but they quickly adjusted their emotions, took over from Ruiwen, and began to explain the workshop to everyone.

Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan sat in the tea stand not far away, watching from a distance, Wang Xiujin felt that the two of them were okay, he couldn't do everything by himself, and the two of them followed him for a while, and they were doing it now The explanation was also remarkable. What surprised him was Ruiwen. Wang Xiujin was considering whether to throw Ruiwen out to be a steward. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it. He finally had a satisfactory assistant, so he really threw him out to be a steward. , It is too difficult to train an assistant.

The topic of the textile workshop has lasted for a long time, and I am afraid that it will not end until the recruitment of personnel is exhausted.Soon after the location of the relocation was circled, everyone talked more about "how much money was distributed to your family".

After the relocation was settled, Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan couldn't wait until the house was built before going back. They chose one of the two stewards to study in Beijing with them, and the other stayed first. One went to Beijing.As for the steward of the oil workshop, one person was transferred from each of the other three oil workshops.In addition to managing affairs, some skilled people should be arranged to teach them how to produce.I don't know how the wounded soldiers are connected. After the news spread, wounded soldiers began to rush to Qiucheng one after another. Because of the existence of the first three oil workshops, there have been no wars in the past few years. There are already very few soldiers. It is estimated that Youcheng in Qiucheng will have the fewest wounded soldiers.

The demolition has just started, and there is no dormitory for the wounded soldiers who rushed over. After discussing with Yuan Zhifu and Master Li Er, Wang Xiujin decided to arrange the wounded soldiers in the barracks. Compared with other places, they will be more comfortable in the barracks Somehow, when Yuan Zhifu learned that Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan were about to leave, he repeatedly stated that he would arrange good people at the gate of the city, and that as long as there were wounded soldiers entering the city, they would be sent to the barracks.Wang Xiujin also expressed his thanks to him again and again, and he and Li Sushan packed their bags and prepared to return to Beijing.

Before leaving, Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan went around the construction site. Standing in the construction site, Wang Xiujin recalled the situation when he built the first workshop, and couldn't help but smile on his face.Calling the steward, Wang Xiujin asked about the collection of wool, and the steward reported it immediately. There are many people who inquired these days, but after hearing that only wool was collected, there was no further information.Wang Xiujin understood it after thinking about it.The sheep here are mainly goats, not sheep with a lot of wool. Shearing is not suitable, and the shearing season has passed. Selling only wool, the sheep breeders are afraid that they will lose money. "Leave it in advance, there is no rush." ​​After returning to Beijing, let's see if some people can be fooled into opening a hot pot restaurant. Speaking of which, the most famous hot pot in later generations is Sichuan pot. I believe that hot pot will be spread here soon. Accepted by everyone, the prospects should be good.

On the way back, Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan mentioned this matter, and Li Sushan asked curiously why Wang Xiujin didn't start the food business. If he remembered correctly, Wang Xiujin should have made his fortune from food in the first place.Wang Xiujin just smiled, "At that time, I had no capital, so I had to do food business." The reason?Eating is very profitable, it can be said that it is quite profitable, but you can hide away if you don’t get involved.Don't look at him opening a small restaurant, it's really nothing. He only takes four tables a day, which can be described as a boutique among boutiques. Instead, ordinary people subtly quit the queue.The various restaurants in the capital went from being unimpressed at the beginning to not daring to offend them later, the process was quite short.The success of the small restaurant was just accidental. Wang Xiujin never thought of copying it. As for why he went crazy and opened the restaurant in the first place, even Wang Xiujin himself has no answer.

"It's very troublesome to make a living in food. Don't look at the small restaurant that is doing well. If I really open a shabu-shabu shop here, someone will copy it in a few days, and there may be troubles in a few days."
