I dressed as a witch doll

Wen Chi found out later that the person Qian Chengdi found who could lead them in was somewhat beyond his expectations.

That turned out to be Xuan Bohou's concubine.

This relationship is a bit more complicated.

Xuan Bohou's concubine's daughter entered the palace and became Concubine Shu, and he also had a concubine who was the concubine Wan.

Wen Chi also didn't know how Xuan Bohou's concubine named Shu Jiwei was related to his two sisters.

Emperor Gan Cheng didn't say anything to him at first, but said: "This Shu Jiwei is not valued at home, and he is not a student. This person was very popular, so he quarreled with his father in a fit of anger, and ran to the south of the Yangtze River."

"What is he going to Jiangnan for, doing business?" Wen Chi asked.

Qian Chengdi shook his head.

The Feng Dynasty was originally a landlocked country. It was only after Emperor Wu Ying had a coastline that business gradually developed under the leadership of maritime trade.

Prior to this, the Feng Dynasty had always emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, so even after the sea trade was opened, Emperor Qiancheng gradually relaxed the restrictions on commerce, and the economic development was still too slow.

And most people always think of doing business as a contemptuous thing.

A son like Shu Jiwei of the Hou family, even a bastard, would disdain to run the business.

So Emperor Qiancheng didn't understand at the beginning what this man was going to Jiangnan for.

But then, when Shu Jiwei arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he lived a carefree and comfortable life like a fish entering the sea.

First of all, even if he is a concubine of the Hou family, his status is not low in Jiangnan.

Moreover, he is eloquent and has a lively temper. He does not distinguish between high and low when making friends, and he is not like them who go to the south of the Yangtze River to grab other people's jobs. It is also very popular in the bottom layer where fish and dragons are mixed.

"I've heard that some people want to do something, whether it's building relationships or finding someone to make peace with, everyone is willing to find him. He can be a man, has a high status, and has a good relationship with everyone. Willing to sell his face.

"Especially the people in the government, with Xuan Bohou and Shu Guifei around, we can't embarrass him."

Emperor Gan Cheng said, carefully looking at Wen Chi's face.

Wen Chi glanced at him, somewhat confused by his expression.

It's just that since Emperor Qian Cheng so swears that this person is useful, Wen Chi has no objection.

After all, in terms of employing people, Wen Chi is definitely not as good as Qian Chengdi.

So Shang Kui took a group of people straight to the south of the Yangtze River, and when they arrived ten miles outside Jicheng City, they met Shu Jiwei who came to pick them up.

For this matter, Qian Chengdi did not use other methods, and directly asked the people from the household department to find Xuan Bohou.

Shu Jiwei was a little reluctant at the beginning, but when he saw that Nima was all eunuchs and children, he rolled his eyes.

After handing over the group of people to Shu Jiwei, a pair of guards turned around and left.

Shu Jiwei was really dumbfounded.

What can Nima do if he handed over a group of eunuchs to him?

Then the group of little eunuchs brought by Shang Kui quickly showed him that they really couldn't do anything, and most importantly, although they came here to open a weaving workshop, they had no money.

"No money!"

Although he was dissatisfied, Shu Jiwei still arranged people in a small courtyard of his own.

But after hearing this, he exclaimed, "What if I don't have money, I can't think of a way, can I?"

What does this damn old man mean?Let him contribute money and effort? ? ?

He thought bitterly in his heart, His Majesty has always been generous to others, these eunuchs must have swallowed up all the money His Majesty left them, and asking him for money, this is too greedy!

But Qian Chengdi, who has always been generous to others, was in the small kitchen of Fenglin Palace at this time, looking at the sweet potato starch that Wen Chi had given away half of it, pulled his face and muttered in a low voice, and then told Bell that these things must be collected. Well, it can no longer be given away.

He turned his back on the bell with a smile.

Back to Shang Kui, even though he had no money, His Majesty gave him an IOU before leaving, asking him to go to the state capital to borrow money.

Looking at the IOU, Shu Jiwei immediately overturned the heroic and mighty image of Emperor Qiancheng in his heart, gritted his teeth, and led the group of little eunuchs to knock on the gate of the state capital with a dark face.

The chubby Mr. Wei, the governor of the state capital, tremblingly took the IOU, and moved out the cartloads of money without saying a word.

As timid as he was, Shu Jiwei was very happy to see it.

Master Wei of Jicheng Prefecture this time can be said to have great supernatural powers, and they have been re-elected in Jicheng for several years, but they just don't move.

When he first came, he looked thin and frail, but now he has been fed like a pig, which shows how much snowflake silver he has swallowed in his belly.

But His Majesty is also insidious, instead of sending imperial envoys, he even sent a group of eunuchs!

Mr. Wei faced all the young eunuchs whose age was not more than 16 years old, his legs trembled with fright, and he didn't even dare to fart.

In terms of black heart and vicious hands, in Feng Dynasty, is there anyone else who can compare with those eunuchs under His Majesty?

This group of people just swallowed up the entire state capital, does Master Wei dare to fart?

He just showed an unhappy look on his face, his Lord Wei's mansion in Jicheng could start a big fire and burn his entire family down!

Maybe even the main house of the head of his Wei family in the capital is not spared!

Seeing that Mr. Wei, who has been domineering in Jicheng for many years and has harmed countless merchants, big and small, tremblingly handed over a small bunch of keys to the little eunuch who was always smiling.

Shu Jiwei sneered softly in his heart.

Now there is no need to buy land, Mr. Wei has a lot of other courtyards, just pick one and start working.

This is Shang Kui who Shu Jiwei reminded with a smirk on the way here.

After the land and money were settled, Shu Jiwei originally thought that there was nothing wrong with him.

But who knew, before his butt was hot at home, he was called away again.

Shang Kui bowed to him with a smile on his face: "Young Master Shu, Concubine Shu has taken care of our family in the palace, but I never thought that Jicheng would be grateful for your care."

Shu Jiwei hurriedly held his hand to prevent him from bending over, and said with a smirk on his face: "Where is your father-in-law? If you go out on business, the kid who can help you will definitely help you. After all, you are doing things for your majesty and for the country." For the people!"

Shang Kui then straightened his body, but said with a smile: "Then, I will trouble this young master more."

Shu Jiwei's face froze.

Shang Kui cheerfully called a young eunuch, "We need to make some things in this workshop, Mr. Shu must know where there are good carpenters in this city, please recommend one or two, Mr. Shu, and take me there visit."

When Shu Jiwei saw the little eunuch who was not as tall as his chest, the corners of his mouth twitched.

It was only then that he realized that he might have boarded this thief ship and could never get off.

Naturally, the best carpenters in the city could not be in Fangshi, they must have been raised by major families and placed in Zhuangzi.

But the little eunuch named Xiao Shitou who came out with him said that they don't need to find the best ones that can be carved and crafted with fine craftsmanship, as long as they can understand the drawings and models, they can scale up and make them in equal proportions.

Moreover, they have to find a group of such carpenters first, and they must all be raised in the weaving workshop, and they will not be able to find them within three to five years.

Hearing the last sentence, Shu Jiwei's face darkened.

The reason why he can eat and drink with the three religions and nine streams is because he truly regards these people as equal to himself in his heart.

But hearing what the little eunuch meant, it was like raising pigs and ducks in captivity.I never thought about it at all, the people who were trapped also had families with children, and they couldn't get out in three to five years, so what should the family do?

What's more, Shu Jiwei always felt that eunuchs could only come in and out. The so-called captivity was nothing more than treating ordinary people as slaves and working for them for free.If the pillar of the family is taken away, the rest of the family must starve to death?

Shu Jiwei didn't want to do this job anymore.

When Xiao Shitou saw Shu Jiwei and heard him say a few words, he dragged him straight to the restaurant, saying that he would take him to eat and drink first, so he got worried.

Since the superiors were the first to send him out, Xiao Shizi must be a quick-witted, quick-witted and capable person.

He carefully chewed the words he said before, although he didn't know what the problem was, but he still trotted quickly behind Mr. Shu, and said softly, "Mr. Shu, what do you think is wrong?"

But Shu Jiwei was all smiles: "Since it's the father-in-law's arrangement, how can there be anything wrong?"

Xiao Shitou smiled shyly and said, "It's the first time for Zajia to come out with Mr. Shang Kui to do business. He can't do things right, and needs Mr. Shu's guidance."

Shu Ji glanced at him slightly, guessing in his heart that the little eunuch was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he probably wasn't a very calculating person.

So he thought for a while and said, "Little eunuch, I think since we want to use carpentry, we might as well let them work at home, and just pull things to the workshop after work. As for the money, you don't need to pay for it." I am worried, this young master pays out these small money, it can be regarded as filial to your father-in-law, your monk, can it be successful?"

Finally hearing Shu Jiwei say this, Xiao Shitou immediately understood the key.

He immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Shu, this is impossible."

Shu Jiwei Wenyan, his expression couldn't hold back anymore, he turned his head and quickened his pace to the fireworks field, planning to get the little eunuch drunk today, and do nothing else.

Little Shitou thought it was funny, so he took two quick steps, but he grabbed Shu Jiwei's sleeve with one hand, and said in a good voice, "Mr. Shu, don't be angry, listen to me!

While being dragged forward by Shu Jiwei, he said in a good-tempered and soft voice: "Master Shang said that this time the technology must be kept secret, and we can only raise these carpenters first, but—"

He was talking while running, but he couldn't hold on in the middle of the sentence, and suddenly tripped his left foot and fell to the ground with a "slap" sound, "Oh——"

Everyone around was taken aback by him and looked at him one after another.

Shu Jiwei also stopped, and turned to look at him in a daze.

I went to see the little eunuch propped up his arms, raised his head from the ground, looked at him with tears in his eyes, then immediately covered his nose with his hands, washed his nose and said vaguely: "It hurts——"

Talking, the tears become bigger and bigger and fall down.

All of a sudden, Shu Jiwei was dumbfounded.

At this moment, a group of young people sprang out from the crowd, the two leading ones helped the little eunuch up, but one of them turned his head and reprimanded Shu Jiwei, saying:

"Brother Ji, are you provoking good children again? How many times have I told you, if you want to play, go to that building to play, why bother to harm these children?"

Shu Jiwei was stunned by the words.

He frowned again and looked at the blinking little eunuch with teardrops on his eyelashes, and found that the other eunuch was wearing an ordinary book long robe at this time, and his delicate and clean appearance seemed to be indeed similar to his usual good mouth.

Then he looked at the indignant Zhao Youshu in front of him and the group of people behind him,

He opened his mouth, but couldn't argue for a moment.
