[Comprehensive martial arts] Princess she wants to build infrastructure

Early the next morning, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou paid a formal visit to the Princess Mansion.

Waking up early in the morning, Hua Manlou listened to Lu Xiaofeng's speech, and asked a little puzzled, "Why are you slurring your words?"

Lu Xiaofeng faced the two lumps of red on his face, and said to Hua Manlou without changing his expression: "Because I'm eating boiled eggs."

Hua Manlou: "...Eat all the way?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "That's right."

Hua Manlou tilted his head, smiled and said nothing.

Because Jiangnan Hua's family came to do business with Her Highness the Princess, the two Lu Hua were naturally welcomed by the Princess Mansion. Yew Shan greeted them from the door and led them all the way to the Princess's main room.

Li Yu's boudoir is very different from ordinary women's boudoirs. The outer room is used for receiving guests, and the inner room is used for office work. There is also a huge screen between the bed and the desk.

This belongs to the type of princess who does not separate work and life.

It is in the outer room to receive the Seventh Young Master Hua today.

Huamanlou is a handsome man with a face like a crown jade. He is dressed in brocade clothes, holding a paper fan, with a smile on his face, and his advances and retreats are reasonable.

If it weren't for the lack of focus in his eyes, no one would be able to see that he was actually blind.

Even Li Yu couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

But Hua Manlou didn't seem to care about this matter at all.

As for Lu Xiaofeng, Li Yu had already met last night.

Lu Xiaofeng was wearing a bright red cloak, quite airy, after seeing Li Yu, he couldn't help laughing again, tilted his head towards Li Yu, but didn't speak.

Li Yu tilted his head in disgust.

Today's Huamanlou's visit was mainly entrusted by Chu Liuxiang. From Chu Liuxiang, he had already heard the princess' intentions.

The princess wanted to sell clothes, and she didn't sell expensive luxury clothes, nor did she sell the most fashionable styles. She only wanted to sell the simplest and most modest clothes, made of coarse cloth or linen.

Of course, Huamanlou has also heard that the princess has designed a magical sewing machine, which can sew clothes tightly in just a moment.

There are many strange people and strange things in the world these days.It is said that there was a son who invented the most terrifying hidden weapon in the world - the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle. It is so powerful that it can pass through the body. If it is hit, there is no possibility of survival.

Therefore, it is not too surprising that there are machines that can sew.

Huamanlou came mainly to ask the princess how big the business was.

The princess smiled and said, "Please visit our sewing factory first."

People move.

Not far from the princess mansion, there is another large-scale courtyard. There is a newly made plaque hanging at the entrance of the courtyard, with the words "Women's Sewing Factory" written on it.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard a thin and dense sound of machines running. The sound was not small, and the number of machines must not be too small.

Hua Manlou strolled inside, listening carefully to all the sounds in the darkness.

The closer you get to the house, the louder the sound of the machine, and the sound of someone breathing. These breaths are very light, and it sounds like the breathing of a woman. There are a large number of people, and no one speaks. Maybe they are all working hard.

The ready-to-wear has been presented, but it is a bunt made of cotton cloth.Hua Manlou stretched out his hand to touch it, only to feel that the stitches were dense, and the quality was indeed much better than that of ordinary people's own sewing.

Hua Manlou thought about it for a while, and asked, "I don't know how much the princess wants to sell for the clothes here?"

Li Yu said bluntly: "Thirty cash for a short type, fifty cash for a long shirt."

Hua Manlou looked surprised.

This price... can be said to be very low.

At this time, the common people generally wore common clothes, and the price of a section of blue cloth was at least two hundred cash, and a section of cloth was sixty feet, and a bunt would cost at least eight to ten feet.

In other words, it would cost at least [-] Wen to make a bunt, not to mention a long gown.

And it's just the fabric. When the fabric is taken home, it has to be cut and sewed. It takes a lot of time to turn a piece of fabric into clothes.

There are also clothing sellers outside, most of which are cloth dealers outsourcing the work to some women who want to become female celebrities to earn money, but there are very few civilian clothes, most of them are silk or silk, because if the clothes are too expensive, no one will buy them. , it's too cheap and can't even make up for labor, so I just didn't do it.

This has also led to a low market demand for ready-made clothes, because most people will not buy expensive silk and silk clothes, and those who can buy are those with a little money. many.

But... what if someone could reduce the cost of the green cloth garments?

What if the ready-made clothes made of blue cloth are so cheap that most people are willing to buy them?

A smile appeared on the corner of Hua Manlou's mouth. He realized that this princess was really smart. She didn't want to grab the ready-made clothing business of those cloth houses, but wanted to open up a new market by herself!

More importantly, the volume of this market is really too big!

The number of common people is much greater than the number of rich people. As long as the market can be spread, it is simply too profitable!

The only problem is-

Hua Manlou said: "Princess's idea is very good, but I don't know how the production of ready-made clothes is?"

No matter how big the market is, it is useless if there is not such a high production capacity.

The princess said: "After three months, it is expected to reach a monthly output of 20 sets. The follow-up scale will be further expanded."

Huamanlou: "!!"

The princess's words were indifferent, without showing off or joy, as if she was just talking about a very ordinary thing.

And it's really not that difficult to do.

The skillful assembly line operation enables every female worker to complete 10 sets of bunt garments every day. ①

The composition of the current female workers in the factory, one is the girls from the original farewell hospital, and the other is the women who were rescued from Wanmatang. There are also a lot of bosses, big and small, all over the sky, and there are hundreds of them in total.

Throughout the winter, Ayun has been busy making the new women familiar with the sewing machine. Now, Ayun has completed the characters excellently—all the women are skilled workers.

In the past, it was all about making small troubles, but now is the time when the sewing factory really comes in handy!

Coupled with the use of biogas lamps, the sewing factory implements a three-shift work system to ensure that every machine is running non-stop.

The production capacity is huge.

Moreover, no one will compete with her for this cake, because no one can create such a miracle except her, Li Yu.

Hua Manlou couldn't help but said, "I don't know how many maids are engaged in sewing here, Princess?"

The princess smiled and said, "There are more than 300 people."

A look of shock finally appeared on Hua Manlou's face at this moment.

300 people!Just 300 people!Make... [-] sets of ready-made clothes in a month!Even if it is the best female celebrity, it takes a whole day to make a set of ready-made clothes after cutting, cutting, sewing and mending. Three hundred female workers, under normal circumstances, are only [-] sets of ready-made clothes.

Tenfold!

This is incredible.

1000 sets a month, based on the fact that a piece of clothing earns [-] Wen, that is [-] taels of silver.

Perhaps in the eyes of those who spend a lot of money, 1000 taels of silver is far too little, but don't forget that in this era, a stone of millet is only two hundred cash.

After all, there are too few people who have the courage to spend a lot of money. The princess is willing to do business in a down-to-earth manner, which is also a very admirable thing.

and……

Hua Manlou said again: "I don't know what the princess said about the follow-up scale can be expanded, what is the plan?"

He is very interested in the princess' follow-up plans.

Lu Xiaofeng also crossed his arms and leaned on the door carelessly, waiting to hear about the princess's grand deeds.

After all, the princess had already surprised him once last night.

The princess has nothing to hide from her chosen partner, and if her plans were known, no one would be able to stop her.

The princess said: "I want to recruit female workers into the factory. Little girls, women, and old women in Yinzhou City can all work in the factory. Although Yinzhou is a small city with a small population, it is still a city and can be used." There are many people."

Besides, she distributed all the money seized from Wanmatang to the people, so is it really free?Now is the time for them to give back.

She added: "This year, I plan to let some people grow cotton."

The land has been distributed door-to-door, and measures for farmland have also been announced. The land rent is [-]%, and the remaining [-]% is owned by the farmers.

Even though she doesn't harvest much, Yinzhou has thousands of hectares of fertile land, and what can be harvested is quite impressive, not to mention that the remaining [-]% of the cotton is not edible, and when the time comes, she will ask someone to buy it at the wholesale price, and buy it from the source. That can keep costs down a lot.

Huamanlou is not a loss because it is a salary that grew up in a business family. After hearing this, it almost immediately reacted and said, "Princess means that the cost can be lowered."

Li Yu smiled in satisfaction and said, "Yes."

Hua Manlou said: "It's just that... although the sewing time has been shortened, the process of turning cotton into cotton thread and cotton thread into cotton cloth cannot be shortened, and the output is still worrying."

Li Yu said: "The new spinning machine is already being designed, this is not a problem."

The so-called new spinning machine naturally refers to the famous spinning jenny.

The structure of the Jenny machine is not complicated, but it can greatly improve the efficiency of spinning.

Li Yu, who worked as a popular science magazine, naturally had a great curiosity, and often searched for some knowledge on the Internet to learn. The structure of the Jenny machine was understood through research at that time.

Now, she is still very grateful to herself at that time.

Hua Manlou smiled, nodded, and said, "The Hua family is willing to cooperate with Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Li Yu also smiled, and said, "If that's the case, I'll trouble the Playboy."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "How can Her Highness be so smart?"

Li Yu glanced at him, but felt that there was something else in his smile, so he said with a smile: "What? Mr. Lu has something to say?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Yesterday I saw an old man beating and scolding a girl, saying that she is lazy and the biggest loser in the world."

——Losing money, a word that has always been used to scold women.

Lu Xiaofeng is a sentimental person, seeing this scene, he naturally couldn't recognize him, he stepped forward to stop the old man.

Even though the boss was restrained by Lu Xiaofeng, he still yelled at him, accusing Lu Xiaofeng of meddling in his own business, that he has the ability to raise this loser for him!

Lu Xiaofeng immediately took out 50 taels of silver note and threw it to the old man.When the old man saw Qian, he laughed like he couldn't see his teeth, and then he said compliments to Lu Xiaofeng.

With a straight face, Lu Xiaofeng threatened the old man, and if he scolded the little girl again, be careful of his ass blooming!

The shameless old man nodded naturally.

Although this matter was resolved, Lu Xiaofeng felt very uncomfortable, because he was thinking, how many little girls would be abused like this at home?

But what is the solution?How can girls make money?Are they all sold in brothels?

Today, when he saw the words "Women's Sewing Factory" at the door, Lu Xiaofeng felt a strange feeling in his heart. He felt that Princess Anle didn't just want to make money. She blatantly said that she only wanted women. A way to make money?

Then, he heard about the princess's plan. She did plan to recruit workers in Yinzhou City—only women.

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "With the women's sewing factory of Her Royal Highness, what shameless old man dares to say that his daughter is a loser?"

Li Yu looked at Lu Xiaofeng in surprise.

She saw Lu Xiaofeng at the first sight, this is a cute knight who knows nothing about the world, he has a natural sense of comfort, which seems to come from his being favored.

She looked through Lu Xiaofeng's biography, and she became more and more sure of this point.

Everyone in the rivers and lakes liked him, every one of his friends treated him very well, and every one of his women also spent a sweet time with him.It seems that he was a proud son of heaven from the very beginning, that's why he has been able to maintain this kind of upward cuteness.

But today, he surprised Li Yu.

He is sympathetic and has a high degree of political acumen. From just one sign, he can see that she has the intention to improve the status of women in Yinzhou.

It's a talent!

Li Yu laughed loudly, tapped Lu Xiaofeng's shoulder, and said, "Why are you so clever?"

Lu Xiaofeng raised his lips and smiled at His Highness the Princess, and said: "When a smart person meets a smart person, he will always look smarter."

Lu Xiaofeng is a prodigal son, and has been in love with countless fairies and witches in his life. Even so, when he saw the little mole in the corner of the princess's eye, it added a bit of charm, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

He has long since taken the initiative to get used to it, and did not hesitate at all. He looked down at the princess with an intoxicating smile on his lips, and said in a low voice: "The princess is so smart, Lu Xiaofeng really wants to stay for a while, and see what kind of coup your Highness has. .”

The experience is true, and it is also true that I want to have a relationship with Her Royal Highness.

Her Royal Highness is not the kind of person who doesn't understand Fengyue. Hearing Lu Xiaofeng's deep voice, there was a faint sense of temptation, and he didn't panic at all. Instead, he slapped him and scratched the door, and said arrogantly: "It's not like my princess mansion has no place to live. , as long as you like to live."

Turning his head again, he smiled at Huamanlou: "I heard that Mr. Hua has great attainments in the way of flowers and plants. The vegetation in Yinzhou is monotonous. I want to build a garden in the princess mansion. I don't know if Mr. Hua can stay for a few more days. Young master enlighten me."

Hua Manlou is polite and has a gentle temperament. When anyone talks to him, he will be a little polite, and Li Yu is no exception.

Hua Manlou smiled and said, "Hua Qi is naturally willing to help the princess."

Originally, he was not an impatient person. Yinzhou City was new every day, so Huamanlou naturally wanted to experience and feel more.

Therefore, the two of Lu Hua decided to stay in the Princess Mansion for a while.

Everyone chatted a few more words about the future business map of the clothing industry, and then they set off to go back home for lunch.

Li Yu was supported by Yew Shan, just two steps away, the wide sleeves were pulled, when Li Yu turned around, he saw Lu Xiaofeng stroking his beard and smiling at her.

Li Yu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Hero Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "I live in your mansion, but I want to see your whimsy anytime, anywhere. I don't know if the princess would like to see me when I want to see the princess?"

Li Yu straightened his face and said deliberately: "That's not okay, I'm very busy, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

Lu Xiaofeng tilted his head and said: "Who says I'm fine? I came to the princess for something very important."

Li Yu didn't believe it!

Sure enough, in the afternoon of the next day, Lu Xiaofeng asked to see the princess on the pretext of "very important, very important".

Li Yu was a little curious about what he was going to say, so he asked him to come in.

As a result, Lu Xiaofeng came in with a butterfly in his hands.

Li Yu: "That's it?"

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyebrows and said as a matter of course: "Of course this is very important. Look, it's so cold in Yinzhou that butterflies can be born. Isn't that strange? Isn't it important?"

Li Yu stared at him for a while, then couldn't help laughing, and said to Lu Xiaofeng: "Then you keep this important butterfly, I'll raise it, can't I raise it?"

Lu Xiaofeng laughed, turned and left.

That night, Li Yu actually asked Yew Shan to feed the butterfly honey water, Yew Shan said "I don't understand, but I'm shocked".

As for Zhongyuan Dianhong, he has maintained a paralyzed and murderous face for a long time.

The next day, Lu Xiaofeng came again with an excuse, this time he brought a meat naan, which he said was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious.

Li Yu: "..."

Li Yu ate two mouthfuls and felt that the taste was really... not bad.

On the third day, it wasn't Lu Xiaofeng who came, but Shen Sanniang.

Shen Sanniang brought a piece of news that Li Yu had been looking forward to for a long time-Hua Baifeng had entered the city, and she had already contacted Shen Sanniang, so Shen Sanniang went to see her this afternoon.

She thought she was Shen Sanniang's master.

Shen Sanniang came to ask Li Yu for instructions on what she should do next.

Li Yu threw out the master key and asked Shen Sanniang to bring it to Hua Baifeng, saying that she found it from Ma Kongqun.

In addition, she wanted Shen Sanniang to belittle Fu Hongxue in front of Hua Baifeng, focusing on describing his pain, his struggles, and his wonderful obedience to Princess Anle.

Shen Sanniang took the order and left.

Li Yu smiled.

Because of the misfortune of her original family, Li Yu is actually a very precocious girl. She knew how to read words and emotions when she was very young. When she grew up, she also gained many opportunities for development because of her insight into people's hearts.

She knows that there is a kind of people, both men and women, who treat their children as their own, and cannot bear any resistance from their children, and any little thing that makes them feel that they have lost control can cause them to panic furious.

Hua Baifeng is exactly this kind of person.

Although she didn't regard Fu Hongxue as her own son, she felt that Fu Hongxue should be firmly controlled by her and be her tool willingly.

Fu Hongxue loved her wholeheartedly, revered her, and respected her, which made her feel very satisfied.

This woman used to be Bai Baiyu's concubine, and she rarely received Bai Baiyu's favor, and in the 20 years after Bai Baiyu's death, she lived in pain every day.

Fu Hongxue's pure affection for her is the source of her self-confidence.

And what if Shen Sanniang told him that Fu Hongxue had empathized?He obeyed another person's advice, even for this reason, he gave up dealing with Ma Kongqun himself.

If Hua Baifeng knew this, what kind of face would she show to Fu Hongxue?

What if this Fu Hongxue still had Bai Baiyu's relics on him, and inside the relics was written "My Son's Dear Father"?

What if her precious son Ye Kai is also in Yinzhou?

Li Yu sat behind his desk, propped his head, and smiled excitedly.

Sometimes, if you don’t love, you don’t love, no matter how obedient you are or how humble you are, if you don’t love, you don’t love, Fu Hongxue.

You don't really understand this, so I'll let you understand.
