I fought back after reselling my engagement

The next morning, the embroidery room manager and the head embroiderer went to the farm to organize manpower, and the fabrics from the cloth shop were also transported to the farm. They simply implemented the model that Zhen Su had taught them earlier, and the effect was amazing. The boss was willing to give the sewing workers extra meals, with meat to fill them up. The meal time was two inches of incense, and the work lasted only four hours, with two short breaks in between. Strictly speaking, they would only work three and a half hours.

There are several guards in the suburban villages, who are responsible for guarding the yard and checking to prevent anyone from taking cloth and needles and thread home. For nearby villagers who want to take on outside work, they can find a guarantor and come to get the materials. After getting the clothes and making them, they will be paid on the spot if they pass the inspection of the supervisor.

The embroiderers at Yunyifang take on the cutting and sewing of robes for the nobles. The wages they receive vary depending on the complexity of the work. In the suburban farms, large quantities of clothes are produced, with one person doing one step, and the women around can come to get private work, and they will be paid after the work is completed.

On the first day of opening, the company received orders for 3,000 pieces. The shortest possible time was one month, and the longest was three months. However, all the work was done in one month, which surprised Cui. Finally, he notified each customer to collect the goods and settle the accounts. The money invested in the early stage and the decoration was all earned back in one go. The business of the shop was still counted separately.

Qiu Ye thought Qiu Rong was a good money-maker, but this princess was also a strange person, and an expert could tell the outcome with just one look.

Zhen Su checked the account books, looked at the silver bills that came into the account, deducted his initial investment costs, sorted out the account books and went to look for Cui.

Cui was talking to several maids in the flower hall, discussing the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Aunt." Zhen Su called out and sat down beside her. Chunyue behind him held a few account books.

After Cui finished speaking, the maids left.

"Aunt, Yunyifang is on the right track now. You have taken over the business. The managers, embroiderers, and waiters have all been trained. This is a month's account book. I have deducted the renovation and furniture expenses I paid in advance. The silk and fabrics are shipped from the Jiangnan Su family's head office. The payment will be settled every three months."

Cui didn't know how to run a shop, but she knew how to read the account books and do a rough calculation. She had no interest in running the shop before because she made too little money. But everyone knew how good the Yunyifang business was. Zhen Su followed her methods to instruct the manager and embroiderers, and those who looked like blockheads before now seemed like gods, and the clothes they made became more and more exquisite.

"After deducting the 2,300 taels you paid for the renovation, you still made 1,600 taels?"

"That is to say, after deducting the wages and costs, the net profit is 3,900 taels. The monthly wages of the stewards and embroiderers have already been paid. The shop is my aunt's dowry. If we deduct the 200 taels of shop rent, the net profit is 3,700 taels."

Cui looked at the huge amount of money and said with a smile, "You should take care of it. I... I am not very good at it. When your grandmother was alive, she always said that you were lucky and born with wealth, unlike me who loses money."

"Can't my aunt take care of it herself?"

"No, no, you take care of it. I can't manage it well. There are too many things to do at home. I can't take care of it. You can help me manage it and just check the account book for me every month."

It's not an integer, it's accurate to a few cents, but the change is kept in the store for circulation.

Cui took the 1600 tael note and took out a 100 tael note, saying, "You've been busy, spend it."

Zhen Su smiled and said, "I have money on hand, my aunt has it all. You can also take a look at the account book of Huarongfang. This is the account for two months. The first month was only enough to deduct the renovation fee I paid in advance. The second month started to make money. The goods were purchased from the Bai family in Baihua County. They settle accounts every six months. The payment for the first batch of goods has been settled. This year's account will be settled at the end of the year. Debts will not be settled until the New Year. This is the rule of the business."

Cui looked at the account book of Huarongfang again, read the first few pages, and turned to the final account book. "Huarongfang made 4,300 taels in one month?"

Zhen Su said: "Qiu Rong is a good businessman. I plan to have her return to the capital to renovate my rouge shop. Bring the decoration style here to the capital. I have already written to the Ninth Princess and Princess Changle, hoping to recruit them to join and make some money for rouge and powder with them."

She wrote a letter to say so, but the Ninth Princess replied directly, "I am worried about spending money, not having no money," meaning she was not interested. Princess Changle only said, "I pay for dividends, but I don't know how to manage and make money."

Cui said, "Qiu Rong is gone, are you in charge of Hua Rong Fang?"

"I bought some extra people earlier and gave them to Qiu Rong to take care of. Last time, I asked my aunt for two housemates. Now, with Qiu Rong's guidance, I know the ins and outs of this business. Even if Qiu Rong is gone, Hua Rong Fang's business can still be done well."

Of the two daughters-in-law, whoever is more capable will be in charge in the future.

But he certainly didn't earn as much as when Qiu Rong was there. Qiu Rong knew how to make perfume, but Zhen Su refused to let her add perfume, saying that she could do so in the capital and let Qiu Rong open branch shops in the capital and Luoyang.

"Out of the 4,300 taels, the Bai family's payment for goods must be 800 taels. In fact, we only made 3,500 taels of profit. The year-end account will be a large sum of money, and my aunt needs a real number. How much of the payment for goods can be used to pay interest, and to avoid being fooled by the people below."

Su Qiniang didn't expect that once her cousin took over the shop, she would earn more in a month than her mother had earned in a year before. "Mom, put the account books aside. Business will only get better and better. If someone tries to fool you someday, you can speak up."

She seriously suspected that it was her mother's companions who had been fooling her. They were both running shops, so why was there such a huge difference?

Cui accepted the silver note.

She suddenly earned several thousand taels of silver. She had never earned so much money before. This year, her family would have money to spend during the New Year, and they would not be as worried as in previous years. She could even send more money back to her parents' home to help her mother and sister-in-law have a good New Year.

Zhen Su said, "The coming-of-age ceremony is just a few days away. I received a letter from Princess Changle, saying that she would hold a ceremony to praise me. Princess Shouning of Princess Qingchun's family will also come to attend my coming-of-age ceremony."

Su Qiniang said, "Sister's friend is so kind. She traveled such a long way to attend your coming-of-age ceremony."

"The letter was sent more than ten days ago. I don't know where it is now. I wanted to tell Princess Changle to be careful on the way, but I don't know where to write the letter." Zhen Su was worried about Princess Changle. "The third sister Bai from Baihua County replied, saying that she would bring her daughter and wife to attend my coming-of-age ceremony. The master has four people, and there are many maids and servants serving them."

Cui said, "Didn't the Mao family have a lady who married into the Bai family in Baihua County and became the mistress of the house?" She looked at Su Qinnan.

Su Qiniang was silent for a moment. "She is the wife of the second branch of the Mao family. I heard that she married the master of the third branch of the Bai family. I don't know if she is from the third branch of Miss Bai."

Zhen Su said: "Sister Bai San is from the eldest branch of the Bai family, and the Patriarch of the Bai family is her biological grandfather."

Cui said, "They may want to stay at the Mao Mansion. When they arrive, you can let Miss Bai stay at the mansion and just say that you want to reminisce about the past. Mrs. Bai will not object."

Mrs. Bai San came back from such a long distance to accompany her younger generation to attend Zhen Su's coming-of-age ceremony, but she was also going back to her mother's home to visit relatives.

Su Qiniang said, "I heard from Mao Yuanniang that the second old lady of the Mao family will be turning 60 in a few days. Third Madam Bai may have come back to celebrate her birthday. What a coincidence, it is close to my sister's coming-of-age ceremony."
