Jia Min's Counterattack

Jia Min bent down and picked up Lin Lang, and kissed Lin Lang's small cheek. Lin Lang also smiled and kissed Jia Min's face big. laughter.

"Mother, come and see if Lang'er is seriously copying the Book of Filial Piety, and see if Lang'er's handwriting has improved!" Jia Min pretended to be serious.

"Mother must have seen Lang'er copying the filial piety scriptures very seriously just now, so what reward does mother want to give Lang'er?" Lin Lang raised his small chin and said arrogantly.

"Reward, let mother think about it!"

"Mother, think about it! Mother, think about it!" Lin Lang hugged Jia Min's neck and leaned his head on Jia Min's shoulder coquettishly.

"Okay, okay! Mother thought of it! How about taking the two of you brothers to watch the dragon boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"That's great! I've heard that Jinling City holds a dragon boat race every year. It's so lively and beautiful. Lang'er was still thinking about how to convince Dad to take me and Xing'er to watch it! Mother is the best in the world." Good mother kiss!" Lin Lang smiled so happily that he kissed Jia Min's cheek again.

"I'm here to tell your father to ask Steward Lin to book a private room in Wangjiang Tower in advance. But you have to make sure that you finish all your homework seriously, and you must not run around mischievously when the time comes, you know?"

"En! Mother, don't worry, Lang'er will be obedient and not run around!"

……

On this day, Uncle Qiao came from Suzhou to hand over the profits of Xiangyun Silk and Satin Village for this year. Jia Min asked Hongmei and Yao Huang to reconcile the accounts together, leaving Uncle Qiao by his side to talk.

"Madam, you don't know! Ever since the emperor spread the news about the seven looms and the white yarn, the business of our silk and satin shop has been booming. Now we have manufactured another hundred seven looms and bought more We hired a hundred Weaver Girls, and the supply is still in short supply!"

"I've already thought of it! But Uncle Joe, let's just keep the current output!"

"Ma'am! Why not take advantage of this good opportunity to earn more money?"

"It's too late! We are too eye-catching now. If we are too high-profile, it will arouse the emperor's disgust. I originally dedicated the blueprint of the Qiluo loom to the emperor. I didn't ask for anything in return. It is the emperor's generosity. Only us The family can use the seven-loom loom, which is already the greatest benefit for us. Money needs to be earned little by little to last long. If you are too greedy, the emperor will think that I donate the blueprints for a purpose, and misunderstand that we are plotting against the emperor. , do you think our Xiangyun silk and satin village can last for a long time?"

"I'm afraid it will be like a flash in the pan! Hey! The old slave is not as far-sighted as the wife, and she is thoughtful. Although the wife is young, she does things calmly and calmly, and she is not fascinated by the immediate interests! Good! Good!" Uncle Qiao sighed with relief road.

"Uncle Joe, you're flattered! How much money did our silk and satin shop make in total this year?"

"Last year we made a total profit of 8000 taels of silver. In the first three months of this year, we made nearly 3 taels of silver. It will be summer soon. Recently, there have been a lot of people who have come to buy white yarn. The price is expensive, the profit is high, and it is estimated that I can earn a lot more!"

"The quantity of Jiaosha must be controlled. Only one hundred horses are produced every month. The price of each horse can be higher, and one or two thousand silver is not too much. After all, rare things are expensive, and the output will be more expensive. It’s so hard to get out of it. Anyway, only those high-ranking officials would buy this white gauze, and if your asking price is really low, they won’t pursue it any more!”

"This old slave thinks the same way. Now I can buy a piece of gauze for 200 taels to 800 taels. Next month, I will raise the price by 200 taels. What does my wife think?"

"Okay! The maximum is 2000 taels. You remember to leave me a few high-quality goods so that I can make summer clothes for my family."

"The old slave brought ten horses for his wife when he came here this time. Now our white gauze has only four colors, white, red, blue and yellow. The red and white old slaves each brought three horses, and the blue and yellow are each. Two horses. Madam sees which color is not enough, and I will send it to Madam.”

"Send two more cyan ones for the master and the two masters to make clothes. In addition, I will send some fresh-colored fragrant cloud gauze. It will be summer, and will be used as window screens and bed curtains."

"The old slave just thought that his wife would use Xiangyun gauze, and this time he also brought twenty pieces. Does my wife think it is enough?"

"There are only four of us in the family, twenty horses are enough!"

"Then the old slave should ask his wife to send some newest Kesi and brocades to his wife. They won't be needed now, and they will be used to make clothes in autumn."

"You can figure it out! By the way, Uncle Joe, I met an overseas businessman in Mount Putuo this time, and bought a dye formula from him. It is said that this formula can make the color of the cloth more vivid. The color does not fade very much, and the clothes made will not fade for two or three years."

"Oh! It's such a good thing! No wonder it's rumored that the wife is a person of great fortune. This good luck makes people greedy!" Uncle Qiao stood up happily, rubbing his hands and laughing.

"Uncle Qiao, I'll make you happy! When the fabric is dyed with this formula, our silk and satin factory will have another advantage over other companies. Then you can wait until you count the money until you get soft!" Jia Min joked.

"If it is really possible to earn so much money, this old slave would be happy to kill off these old hands!"

"However, Uncle Qiao must keep this recipe well hidden. Every time you make the ingredients, you must do it yourself, and you must not fake it. This recipe is no better than the Qiluo loom. Even if you have the blueprint, it is useless if you don't know how to install it. But if this formula is read by others, it will be easily understood, wouldn't our work be in vain?"

"Yes! The old slave will be very careful! After I go back, I will keep the formula in my mind, and mix it in the secret room every time I make the ingredients. The wife trusts the old slave and entrusts such an important matter to the old slave. The old slave will never let his wife down!"

"Of course I believe in Uncle Qiao! For so many years, Xiangyun Silk and Satin Manor has been supported by you, and I will never forget your contribution! From this year onwards, I plan to take two out of the annual profit of our Xiangyun Silk and Satin Manor. Chenglai, [-]% is a bonus for you, and [-]% is used to distribute to all the guys and weaving girls in the silk and satin factory, so we can’t make you tired and busy for a year!”

"This is not allowed! Absolutely not! The old slave's family is the wife's housekeeper, and it is the duty of the old slave to do things for the wife. The monthly wages of the staff and the Weaver Girl in the silk and satin village are higher than those of other families. The wife's New Year's Eve There will be red envelopes given out from time to time. This is already a great blessing. If there are too many slaves, I’m afraid they won’t be able to handle it! My wife’s wishes are appreciated by the slaves. If my wife wants to reward the slaves, I will give them red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. Just thicker! A slave like this bonus is absolutely unacceptable!"
