I played as an assistant in ancient times

Shen Xiaoye sighed slightly: "My aunt has asked the key point.

The cotton yield per mu is only a few dozen kilograms, and it cannot be planted continuously. When the weaving mill opens, it will be more than just our family that harvests cotton.

If there is not enough raw cotton, we have to purchase it from surrounding counties and towns, and the cost is gradually increasing.

So I thought about it and decided that if the three parties shared the profits, the gains would outweigh the losses.”

"In this case, it is better not to invest. Let's take care of our family business first.

Even if that place is closer, it is still more than 500 miles away. The time and money spent on the road are enough to travel through both Linghe and Baohe counties.

Seeing that many nearby villages have begun to grow more cotton, it will be troublesome if we can only take care of one and not the other. "Huang was very cautious. Only by stabilizing the dyeing and weaving in Linghe County can we do well outside.

Seeing that she wanted it but felt it was not beneficial but was reluctant to give it up, he could not help but flick her forehead and said, "You were sober last time when you rejected Manager Wu, but you can't let it go this time."

"It is indeed beneficial for us to cooperate with Boss Zhu." As soon as Shen Xiaoye finished speaking, Fu Ge'er crawled over from the other side and stretched out his hand in front of her face: "Sister, I want to play too."

"Okay, but you have to let me flick it first." As she said that, she grabbed the man and tried to flick his little head without saying a word.

"No, no, hahaha, it's itchy." Fu Ge'er struggled away from her arms, intending to hide behind his mother, but his mother stood up unexpectedly, and he was caught by his sister.

So she quickly covered her forehead and said, "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble. Sister needs to do the accounting carefully and earn as much money as possible to buy delicious food for Brother Fu."

"Don't worry, you'll have plenty to eat. It's time to go to bed, so as not to disturb your sister from settling accounts." Huang reached out and took him away. The little guy sighed and waved goodbye to his sister, as if he was going thousands of miles away.

After the little episode, Shen Xiaoye was not so worried anymore. As she relaxed, she heard whispers outside.

She leaned forward and heard that it was her uncle who was asking her if she was really satisfied with this marriage.

Then came the voice of my aunt: "If she doesn't agree, how can Sui Ge'er make it happen? Go back to sleep, you are drunk..."

"Dad stinks."

"It doesn't smell bad, it smells like wine. If you don't believe me, try it."

"Hahaha, don't listen, run away mother."

The sound gradually faded away, and the little black cat exhaled. It was the most tiring thing for a cat to play with a child. It lay on the edge of the kang and asked, "Are you still not going to join us?"

"Well, the investment is too much and the return is low." Shen Xiaoye did not have the accumulation of those two companies, so he chose to proceed step by step.

Of course, I need to discuss this matter with my family after dawn.

So three days later, they met in the provincial capital, with Shen Changsui representing the elders because of his current status as a juren. However, Shen Xiaoye politely declined the proposal to invest.

"Manager Shen, we can discuss the profit sharing later.

You see, I am a stranger in Suning, and it is not convenient for Master Wu Qi to make a formal appearance. "Boss Zhu values ​​the network of relationships behind her.

It doesn't have to be her. Shen Xiaoye knew what he wanted and said, "Mr. Lu from the fleet will still undertake the transportation of your goods.

As for dyeing cloth, our family can lead a team to Suning every year to dye the colors you need at the most favorable price.”

One of the main reasons why she has been devoting her efforts to training young people in the village is to have a mobile dyeing team that can provide door-to-door services to customers outside Linghe County at any time.

The dyeing workshop is the foundation of the family's development, and the weaving workshop was set up to make up for the shortage of goods.

After discussing at home, they felt that the investment capital was insufficient, and they felt guilty and restrained in their work.

"Well, the team will also give the best price, and we will take care of all the tax cards on the road." Lu Guan made a clear statement that the team and the cloth shop were not absolutely tied together, and each had its own business direction.

Boss Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the fleet was willing to cooperate, his goods could arrive at the station without any worries. "Master Wu Qi, what do you think?"

“Since Shopkeeper Shen has made his decision, it’s not a good idea to force it.

But next time you come to Suning to buy goods, you must give priority to our weaving workshop." Master Wu Qi already had a candidate local cloth merchant for cooperation.

"Of course. When it comes to the quality and quantity of cloth, I recommend you first." Shen Xiaoye really thought so.

Master Wu Qi smiled and said, "Don't rush to praise me. I have something else to ask you to do."

Shen Xiaoye was slightly startled. Shen Changsui, who had been sitting beside her as if he were an invisible person, asked, "Which one of our Bu Ran did you pick out?"

Wu Qiye meant: "Yes, it is Lin Shen, he is very good at dealing with farmers, and he is honest but clever.

At the same time, he was not nervous and kept his composure when communicating with shopkeepers from various places.

At present, the weaving workshop needs to expand its business. I can't borrow the young shopkeeper to take charge, so I have to settle for the next best thing."

Brother Erniu? She treated him as her right-hand man. Shen Xiaoye felt conflicted when she heard this, but Boss Zhu beside her secretly praised Brother Wu for his cleverness. Borrowing the Shen family's confidant was equivalent to borrowing power.

"This mainly depends on Lin Shen's own wishes and how long the Seventh Master is prepared to second him." Shen Changsui did not object to everyone leveraging each other's strengths.

Master Wu Qi seized the opportunity and immediately said, "Two years."

“It’s been too long. Cousin Lin’s family is planning to arrange a marriage for him, and he can’t be away from home for two years.

Moreover, we cannot make decisions for him." Shen Xiaoye objected and stated in advance:

"I won't call him in at this time." That way, Brother Erniu will not be able to control himself at all.

Shen Changsui: "Now that the convoy issue has been agreed upon, let's put the rest on hold.

Today I will host you two and invite you to come to Taoranju to taste their newly-made roast duck, how do you think? "

"Of course it is better to obey than to be respectful." The matter was basically settled, and Master Wu Qi and Boss Zhu went there happily.

After the banquet, Shen Xiaoye told Lin Erniu about borrowing people on the way home.

"If it's only for one year, and I can deliver the cloth back every three months, I think it's feasible." Lin Erniu also wanted to give it a try. Knowing that Master Wu Qi opened a weaving workshop with hundreds of looms, he wanted to learn something even more.

But seeing Shen Xiaoye's hesitation, he asked, "Is there something I don't know?"

"It is said that Master Wu Qi has a youngest concubine's daughter, who has not yet been married." Lu Guan solved the mystery.

"Ah, this?" Lin Erniu scratched his ear, "It's not what I thought, right?"

"That's it." Shen Xiaoye and Lu Guan said in unison.

Shen Changsui, who was driving the carriage today, also said outside the carriage curtain: "There is nothing that cannot be thought of. In terms of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, the Lin family is not inferior to the Wu family."

"It's still different. Qi Da is not a good match." Although his great aunt gave his family 10% of the shares of the weaving workshop during the Dragon Boat Festival this year, Lin Erniu knew very well that his family could not afford to marry a daughter who was raised in a wealthy family.

He said: "Master Wu Qi doesn't value me personally, it's not appropriate."

Lu Guan patted him on the shoulder: "Erniu, maybe he just values ​​you for who you are?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Lin Erniu asked back, and made up his mind to ask his mother to arrange a marriage for him as soon as possible after returning home. He felt that Qian Ni'er from Qian Lichang's family was a good match, and at least the two families were well matched.

Master Wu Qi, who had his own plans, was destined to fail in his attempt to form an alliance through marriage.

Because ten days later, when Lin Erniu officially joined the Wu family's departure team, he clearly stated that he wanted to come back early for the New Year and had to pay New Year's greetings to his future father-in-law.

Wu Qiye: ...
