Jia Min's Counterattack

"Uncle Qiao! I won't say it in the past. You followed me to the Lin family for a few years and it's been hard work. You also want to give me a chance to reward you and the fellows below, Zhinu, right? I'd like to give you something in return, what's the matter? Can you just treat it as the pension money I gave you in advance?"

Uncle Qiao looked at Jia Min in embarrassment, knelt down in front of Jia Min hesitantly and said, "If Madam really wants to reward the slaves, just take out 10,000% of the profit and distribute it to the slaves. This is already a lot. According to the current With the momentum of our silk and satin shop, it is easy to make a net profit of 1+ taels a year, and a [-]% profit is more than [-] taels, which owner would be so generous!"

"Uncle Qiao, what are you doing, get up and talk!" Jia Min also stood up from his seat and said.

"If the wife doesn't agree, the old slave won't get up!" Uncle Qiao simply lay down on the ground, touching his forehead to the ground.

"Hey! Let me say something! You don't even want any money, you are so stupid, Uncle Qiao! Come on, I agree! You must not go back on your word in the future!"

"Don't go back on your word! Don't go back on your word! This old slave is going to be having fun getting so much money every year!" Uncle Qiao stood up with a smile on his face.

Jia Min amusedly pointed at Uncle Qiao and sighed, winking at Lue beside her, who took out an envelope from her pocket and handed it to Uncle Qiao with both hands.

"Here is the formula for the dye, Uncle Qiao has to put it away!"

"Madam, don't worry, the old slave is here with the recipe, and the old slave will never let the recipe leak out!"

"It's not that serious anymore. If Uncle Qiao's life is really being targeted and threatened, saving his life is the first priority. If you are gone, who will help me earn money!" Jia Min laughed.

"Madam, don't worry! This old slave will definitely earn more money for Madam!" Uncle Qiao also laughed.

……

By the end of April, Jia Min's dowry Zhuangzi and shops in the south of the Yangtze River had successively sent in the previous year's prospects and profits.Counting the benefits and profits sent by the capital at the end of last year, Jia Min earned more than 6 taels of silver this year. All the farms planted crops according to the prescription given by Lin Ruhai, and the farms with mountains and forests also planted mulberry. Silkworms provide Xiangyun Silk and Satin Village with high-quality silk, and their prospects are naturally much higher than in previous years.Jia Min has converted several shops into grain shops, which are specially used to sell grain for her dowry Zhuangzi. Unlike other grain shops, Jia Min also has a Zhuangzi in the capital, and the Zhuangzi grows wheat, so Jia Min's shop not only Selling rice and flour, and the quality is top-notch, so Jia Min's grain store business is also very good.The Jiangnan embroidery shop opened by Li Zifeng in the capital has a lot of income this year. Now the wives and girls in the capital love Suzhou double-sided embroidery very much, and the orders are increasing. At the beginning of this year, Li Zifeng Feng asked Uncle Qiao to buy ten more embroiderers in Suzhou and send them to the capital.The most profitable is her Xiangyun silk and satin shop. Last year, it did not launch the fabrics woven by Qiluo looms. With some unique and novel colors, Xiangyun silk and satin shop made a lot of money.Jia Min thinks that her silk and satin shop will really become Daming's largest silk and satin shop in the future, and it will also be the most profitable silk and satin shop.

A few days ago, Jia Min received a letter from Jia Jing in Ningguo Mansion.The letter proposed that the brocade and gauze produced by Xiangyun Silk and Satin Village should be used as royal tributes. Within two days, officials from Jiangnan Weaving Yamen came to Princess Hui's mansion to discuss with her.Jia Min is very happy to use the fabrics from his silk and satin factory as royal tribute, but he strictly controls the amount of tribute. He only attacks [-] pieces of brocade and [-] pieces of gauze every year, but he promises to choose the best and most exquisite tribute. .The people in Jiangnan Weaving Yamen also knew that Princess Hui was very embarrassing in front of the emperor and queen, so they didn't dare to make things difficult for Jia Min, and Jia Min happily signed the contract.Jia Min understands that after Xiangyun Silk and Satin House becomes the royal supplier, the business will be even better. At that time, many people will definitely be jealous, and many people will come to her to buy white gauze.That's why Jia Min and Uncle Qiao spoke the same way, saying to the outside world that the white yarn is very difficult to weave, and the output is extremely low, with a monthly output of [-] pieces, which can accept reservations, but absolutely does not give special attention to anyone.

On this day, Mother Wang carried Lin Bing to Tinglan Courtyard early in the morning to greet Jia Min. Jia Min hugged Lin Bing and teased him to call him Daddy.It's strange to say that Lin Yu knew how to call mother a long time ago, but after Jia Min taught for so long, he never called Lin Ruhai's father, which made Lin Ruhai very depressed, and several times he said to Lin Yu with a dark face: " Son, did you do it on purpose!" Lin Yu looked at Lin Ruhai expressionlessly with her serious face, making Lin Ruhai unable to vent her anger.Jia Min and Lin Lang couldn't help laughing every time they saw the father and son looking at each other with sullen faces.

"Ma'am! The servant's man and eldest daughter have recovered, and they want to kowtow to the wife!" Mother Wang said to Jia Min.

"Oh! It's time to see you! Go and call them!"

"Yes!" Mama Wang smiled and saluted and retreated. Half an hour later, she led a very tall and strong man and two equally stout girls in, and Mama Wang hugged a Bilin Yu in her arms. A milk doll that has lost a lot of weight.

Several people knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Min. Their movements were very stiff, showing how nervous they were.Jia Min smiled and said, "Get up!"

"Thank you ma'am!"

"Seeing that you all look good, your body should be fine!"

"Mrs. Lao remembers that the servant and the eldest daughter are in good health now! I just feel uncomfortable at home, can the wife find some work for the servant? The servant promises not to be lazy, and must do a good job!" Wang Tieniu did not dare to look up at Jia. Min, with his head down all the time, his hands clenched into fists.

Jia Min was amused by this simple and honest man. He had just met, and he was about to start an errand before he spoke much. It can be seen that he has no intentions. It is no wonder that he was kicked out by his parents and brothers when he was seriously ill. The door of the family must have been unwelcome at home before, and they are used to being bullied and oppressed.

"I heard that you and the two girls are good at farming. I just bought a new Zhuangzi. Now I still need a Zhuangzi. If you want to, you can go to Zhuangzi to be the Zhuangzi. It's just that Zhuangzi is in Yangzhou. I'm afraid you The family is going to be separated. It's not urgent, you two go back and think about it, just write me a letter later!"

Wang Tieniu glanced at Mama Wang, saw Mama Wang nodded slightly, and then grinned and said, "Don't think about it! The servant is willing to go. The servant has no other skills. Farming is still no problem."

"Being a Zhuangtou is not as simple as just farming. Later, I will arrange for you to go to the Zhuangzi here in Jinling, learn from the Zhuangtou there for a few days, and go to Yangzhou before the summer harvest."
