Wear it with the house, but I am a black household [Quick Transmigration]

Anxi waited for a few more days, but the family who fired the kiln still hadn't arrived, so they asked old man Li to ask.

Old man Li stammered, "Old man Wang said, said..."

Anxi raised his eyebrows. He probably guessed that he was rejected, "You just say it, no matter what the result is, I don't blame you."

"Old man Wang said that although they are lowly craftsmen, they are innocent at least, and they are unwilling to sell themselves as slaves." Old man Wang was cruel, and he still spoke out the original words of craftsman Wang.

Anxi frowned, "Didn't you tell him that you signed a contract of living?"

"I said it, but they didn't believe it. They thought you were lying to them." Old man Li was afraid that Anxi would blame him, so he quickly explained, "There used to be a carpenter in Wangshu Village who did a good job and made exquisite furniture. After learning his craft, he recruited him to work in the mansion. The carpenter felt that he could help the official and the lord to do things, and he had a guarantee, so he went happily. After that, he never came back. It is said that he was hired by Master Zeng Sold."

"Sold?" Anxi was surprised, "Did they sign a death contract? Why did they sell him?"

"I don't know if it's a death contract. The people in Wangshu Village said it wasn't. They even went to the dignitaries in Master Zeng's house, but unfortunately they were beaten up and thrown out. The carpenter's son almost broke a leg." Later, it was said that Master Zeng threatened to increase taxes if they dared to continue to make trouble, and then the people in Wangshu Village stopped. As for why they were sold, the villain does not know.

"That's why craftsman Wang is probably also afraid. My lord, they really want to offend you, but they're just afraid. Moreover, with their pottery-making skills, the Wang family's life is pretty good, and they don't have to worry about earning money. What do you want?" Blame it on me, because I didn’t do what you ordered. It’s also my fault for talking too much and being self-righteous.” Old man Li was a little ashamed as he spoke. Refused, lost face, I just hope the adults don't blame me.

"It's okay. I'm not a bandit or a bandit. If others don't want it, then they don't want it. After the caravan is built, let them go outside and buy a few craftsmen and come back. You don't have to blame yourself, it's no big deal."

Anxi didn't feel ashamed of being rejected.Thinking about it, I can understand that Renwang's family is the only business in Hu County, and they must have lived a prosperous life in the past. Even if there is a flood, they should have a lot of family assets.

In addition, the people in Hu County have come back one after another. Things as heavy as pottery, they will definitely not be taken away when they flee, and most of them need to be repurchased after returning.

From this point of view, there is really no need for them to help Anxi, after all, now is the time when business is booming.

Moreover, since such a thing happened before, it is normal for people to be more cautious.These days the common people have no human rights, and they are afraid of being oppressed.

"What's the matter with the Master Zeng? How long has he been here as the Master Registrar? Is he a local?" Anxi didn't annoy the Wang family.

I don't know where the carpenter was sold, but after so many years, he probably won't be able to find it.

Old man Li shook his head, "My lord, Master Zeng became the master 13 years ago. He was not from our county. He escaped with his parents. After he came, his parents died. He He was adopted by the Zeng family and became the door-to-door son-in-law. Because he had read some books and knew a few words, he worked as a shopkeeper in the Zeng family's shop. Thirteen years ago, he did not know what kind of tricks he used to get on board with the then county magistrate. Master, he was promoted to be the clerk of the county government, and then gradually became the chief clerk."

"Did he flee with his family during this flood? Will he come back?" Anxi asked, and at the same time secretly made up his mind, it's okay if he doesn't come back, and don't blame him for being rude once he comes back.

"This... In the opinion of the little old man, he should come back. He is the chief bookkeeper in the county seat, and there is no county magistrate to control him these years, so he can be a domineering man." Old man Li said and glanced at Anxi With a glance, "Besides, the news of your lord's coming to take office has not been spread yet, and he probably hasn't gotten the news. He thought Hu County was the same as before."

"It's fine if he comes back. Apart from the Zeng family, what other relatives and friends does he have in Hu County?" Anxi wanted to find out the details first, so as not to leak the news before he took action.

"No, the Zeng family has two relatives, but since the old man passed away, the head of the Zeng family has looked down on those poor relatives and cut off contact with them. I reckon that the Zeng family members are not interested in this door-to-door. The son-in-law should be dissatisfied, after all, since he became the chief bookkeeper, those people have not benefited at all."

Anxi was curious, "How do you know so much about his family?"

Old man Li chuckled, "To be honest, my lord, there is a family named Zeng living near my house, and they often complain about Master Zeng, and the little old man has heard of it occasionally."

Anxi smiled, "I didn't expect Mr. Li, a scholar, to like to listen to these parents' gossip!"

"Hey, hobbies, hobbies." Old man Li stroked his beard embarrassingly.

"Then you give me instructions and remind everyone to pay attention. If the Master Zeng and his family come back, report the news." After thinking for a while, Anxi continued, "Talk to Qiao Liang, if he comes back, we will report to you." Immediately arrest people and ransack their homes.”

As for the evidence of incrimination or not, one copy of the house will be enough. Even if there is no evidence, it is enough to punish him because he has no fame but has become the chief recorder.

"Are you sure he only knew a few words, but didn't pass the exam?"

"Sure, sure," old man Li said hastily, "How old was he when he came here? He was less than ten years old, and he didn't know all the words. How can he get fame? He's not like an adult. Your family has a long history." , from a scholarly family. I haven’t heard that Zeng’s family ever sent her to school, and they’ve been hanging around in the shop.”

"Okay then, go down and do your work."

After listening to Anxi's arrangement, old man Li happily left, full of expectations for Master Zeng's future encounters.Obviously, he was also bullied by Master Zeng.

There is no one who knows how to burn pottery, and it is definitely not enough to just look at the materials by yourself.It seems that porcelain and glass can only be put away at present, but unfortunately, the good sand for burning glass in the south can only wait for the future.

There is no hope for the glass, but Anxi can't be idle either. The balance in his account is running out, and it will be used on steel blades. Future plans still need a lot of money, and now he must find a way to make money.

After much deliberation, the simplest and most convenient thing now is soap.

In this era, soap locust soap powder was used a lot. Poor people used plant ash. In addition, rich people used bath beans, which were made of medicinal materials and soybean powder, and the materials were expensive.

These have the ability to remove dirt, but it is very inconvenient to use, either dust or powder, and the washing is not particularly clean.In contrast, soap is much better, and the effect is immediate.

Anxi found some soap making processes and subsequent improvement methods, such as turning into soap, such as adding colors and fragrances, etc. In short, the information is very complete.

After transcribing with a brush, I took these materials, found Hui Niang, and asked her if she could try it with the women under her command, and if she succeeded, she would open a soap workshop.

"Me? Mr. An, I've never been in contact with these things, I don't know how to do it, and I haven't opened a workshop before." Hui Niang was a little flustered. Before Anxi asked her to train women, she could barely give it a try. After all, she used to be a housekeeper. It is also necessary to deal with servants and servants.

Although these women are not servants of their own family, they cannot be trained at will, but they are better at being obedient, and they are not so careful. She teaches and teaches, but it also brings out some fun.

Because she has something to do, Hui Niang is much better now than she was when her husband just passed away, but after all, she is an ancient housewife. Immediately timid.

Anxi said sincerely, "It's just a try. If it doesn't work, forget it. If it succeeds, it's all women. Don't worry, ma'am, the soap shop will only recruit female workers. It's the same as your previous housekeeper. The rules and regulations are the same as mine. It will be stated in advance that Madam only needs to follow the rules. If you still feel uncomfortable after trying it, you can also ask other people to help manage it.”

Seeing that Huiniang's expression changed a little, Anxi continued to persuade, "This is also to increase the income for the wife and those women. With money, they can fill in the income for the family, and they can also buy some favorite snacks for the children."

"Besides, Madam must also know that the current situation in Hu County is not optimistic. It can be said that it is poor and white. I don't count on the court. If I want to develop Hu County in the future, I can only make money by myself. Don't look at this soap. Small objects, as long as they can be produced, can be exchanged for money continuously, the academy is already under construction, and later maintenance and employment of teachers need money everywhere.”

"Besides," Anxi pondered for a while, but decided to tell the truth, "From Zunfu's point of view, he hopes that Ziwen can go up, and then there must be a lot of money in the future, plus Zixuan's dowry, now Time to save up."

For a mother, there is no reason more important than the future of her child.

"This, can you really make money?" Hui Niang asked hesitantly. Of course, she knew the benefits of having private money. If she could earn it herself, the three of them, mother and child, would not need to rely solely on Anxi.

Although Anxi promised to take care of the three of them, mother and child, he has indeed done a good job these days.But I have money, so I don't panic. If I can make money, Hui Niang is still willing to work hard.

"After it's done, Madam will know the effect after trying it," Anxi smiled without explaining.

This kind of attitude actually strengthened Hui Niang's confidence, she gritted her teeth, "Okay, Mr. An, then I'll bring someone to try first."

She has never been a woman who can only rely on men, she has a tenacity in her bones, she only lacks a push from others.

Now, Anxi just pushed her slightly.

In the future, it may not be possible to get a female CEO?
