Chapter 507

After several successful attempts, Yang sat uneasily in the guest seat of the hall of the king's residence of Chu, anxiously waiting for Luo qingluan.

Since she was busy, Yang hasn't slept well for two months. Where is the leisure of the old ladies? In order to earn more than 100000 liang of silver, she deals with those humble tenants every day regardless of her identity. She has never learned to manage these. Now she can discuss things with some shopkeepers like a model.

But no matter how much he did, Yang finally made 30000 sets of winter clothes for the sake of 100000 liang of silver, waiting to sell them to collect money.

Think of the past two months, busy as a top, almost did not stop, Yang also some do not believe that he can do so many things. In the past, she didn't expect that with more than 100 tenant women, she could make 30000 sets of winter clothes in two months. Yang didn't believe it.

I remember what Princess Chu said. It seems to be called "assembly line" operation. Although she hasn't heard of it before, she has to say it's really effective.

Those clumsy peasant women who could only have one piece of cloth or make several winter clothes a month, under the operation of this "assembly line" and the stimulation of silver, they even gave full play to 10 times or even 20 times the power.

Yang also asked the most diligent woman. She used to weave three pieces of cloth or make seven or eight new clothes a month, but according to the current rules, she is only responsible for cutting what she is best at, and she can cut out 80 sets a day.

Of course, this is her highest record, usually 60 to 70 sets. After she became proficient, the woman waved scissors every day to cut out finished fabrics, and then gave them to another woman to sew clothes.

According to the rules set by Chuang Tzu, after each person completes 50 sets of tasks every day, they can get 20 copper coins. There is still time left. The extra set is calculated by two dollars. This woman can basically get double wages every day and earn more than one or two silver a month. It's much more cost-effective than sitting on empty land during the slack season.

Although this money is nothing compared with the expenses of the noble people in the capital, it is a lot of income for these farmers and tenants, so it is particularly energetic.

After two months, Yang finally made the first batch of winter clothes. Today, he specially came to Luo qingluan to discuss the follow-up. For Yang, this is the most important thing. Otherwise, without the follow-up support of Luo qingluan, where can she collect the money? Even if she has a daughter as a backer, Su Yi is pregnant now. It's the most important time. Yang doesn't dare to go to Su Yi for anything. If it affects her little nephew, it will be in trouble.

After waiting for a while, Luo qingluan finally came out.

"Mrs. lausu has been waiting for a long time." Luo qingluan came out and sat down with a faint smile.

The new year is coming soon. The weather is getting colder and colder. There was a snow a few days ago, and then it rained again yesterday. The snow was watered and frozen together by the rain. The road becomes greasy and difficult to walk. If you don't pay attention, you will slip. Luo qingluan hasn't even come out of the gate these days. She is wearing thick cotton clothes, loose and warm. She holds a heater wherever she goes.

She has been pregnant for three months. Fortunately, it will be cold and wear much more. She is just a little pregnant and can hardly see it. Just pay more attention to your actions. You should not only walk slowly, eat slowly, but also speak slowly. Although you are not used to it at the beginning, it doesn't matter for a long time.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Luo qingluan. Yang's mind was full of the money. After the girl served tea and exchanged greetings, she immediately asked about it: "Princess Chu, it's like this. Didn't you say that the batch of winter clothes we worked together to make before? Now 30000 sets have been made. Can you sell them to the military headquarters?"

Afraid of Luo qingluan's misunderstanding, Yang hurriedly said, "I'm not urging the princess to you, just..."

She showed a very embarrassed face: "we have invested more than 3000 taels of silver in the past two months. If we don't take it back, I'm afraid we won't have money to pay the tenants next month. Moreover, I also thought that the weather is getting colder and colder. The soldiers in front need these winter clothes. We hurry to send them at this time, but we deliver charcoal in the snow."

The calculation time is almost the same. Luo qingluan doesn't want to delay, let alone break the contract. Nangong Yu said a few days ago that the military headquarters is ready, and the approval documents and silver of the household department are ready. They can be sent to the front line only when the winter clothes are transported, and the silver will be sent immediately.

Luo qingluan said, "don't worry, Mrs. su. I'm ready for you."

Suddenly, his heart fell back to his belly. Yang said hurriedly, "thank you princess Chu, but I don't know... The military department will buy these winter clothes at the price of how much silver each set?"

Luo qingluan has asked Nangong Yu about the price. These things support the front-line soldiers and belong to the military expenditure. Although Nalan night has run the dark night hall for many years, there is a lot of silver, but the money will not be included in the military expenditure.

All expenditures for war need to be counted and reported by the Ministry of war in advance, and then issued money and grain by the Ministry of household, and then transported to the front line. Winter clothes are indispensable for winter combat, and the price will be slightly higher than the normal price outside. One of the doorways, Nangong Yu, Luo qingluan knows, but this higher part will not fall into Yang's hands, which belongs to the hidden rules that officials have known for a long time.

Luo qingluan did not intend to break these rules, as long as it was not too excessive and did not affect Nalan night and all the officers and soldiers in the front line. As for making a small sum of money, it doesn't matter. She still has a lot of stomach.

After a rough calculation, a set of winter clothes with appropriate price on the market needs about two and a half silver, while the military headquarters buys winter clothes more expensive. It costs five Liang silver up and down. What can be divided into Yang's hands is probably one in three or two, which is Luo qingluan's profit for nothing.

"Three, two, one?" As soon as Yang heard this, he immediately started a small abacus.

Three hundred and twenty-one winter clothes, that is three hundred and twenty-two, ten thousand and thirty-two thousand two. She has thirty thousand pieces in her hand and can sell them for ninety-six thousand two. Although she didn't make up enough for a whole hundred thousand, she was quite satisfied that she had only been busy for two months and could earn more than 90000. After deducting the capital of Weiyang Hou's house of 3000 Liang, she earned 93000 Liang!

Sure enough, it's a huge profit!

The smile on his face could not stop, Yang's heart was in full bloom, and all kinds of pleasant words were endless. After confirming the time and place of the goods handover, Yang hurried back to the house and called his staff to confirm the quantity of winter clothes, various packing, and the personnel to hand over with the military headquarters. He was completely relieved after he was busy.

When they had dinner in the evening, Yang naturally showed off to his mother-in-law sun. Sun was happy and ate more than a bowl of rice, but he also muttered: "the princess of Chu has all controlled the price. Who knows if the price given by the military headquarters is three or two? Maybe the rest is for herself."

Yang's heart clicked, and his originally happy mood suddenly became suspicious. She has the final say that she has never doubted before. But she can not help thinking that anyone knows that military expenditure is a large amount of money. This war is still the king of Chu herself, and she is one family with the princess of Chu. How much does she want to price? Is it not king Chu's words?

"Is that true?" Yang Shi thought more and more wrong: "Princess Chu gave us a winter coat in twos and threes, but it was her who contacted the military headquarters. Who knows the real price. Moreover, she said, let me hand over all the winter coats to the military headquarters in two days, and then take the note from the military headquarters. Zi went to her second prince to get the money. Now I feel so twists and turns. Why don't you directly let the military headquarters give me the money?"

"What do you know? Where will the military give you money? It's also the Ministry of household."

Sun scolded Yang, A look of 'you've been fooled' said: "since Princess Chu said to go to the second prince to get the money, they must have talked with the Ministry of household. Even if we go, we won't get the money. Hum, it's obvious that they just deducted the big head and left some small profits for us! You worked in vain for two months and ended up making money for others!"

Speaking of money, they felt more and more wrong. All kinds of speculation and calculation made them feel that Luo qingluan was at least greedy for tens of thousands of Liang. Yang Shi was even more angry. She was busy with this from beginning to end. Whether it was contacting tenants, farmers or the wages paid to them, they were first advanced by the Marquis of Weiyang. Now when I think about it, I think it's even more wrong. Luo qingluan said that she wouldn't give her a silver or two, but only a hand. She's already paid 3000 Liang. As a result, Luo qingluan has to take tens of thousands of Liang. Why doesn't she feel bad?

"This princess of Chu is really cunning! We have to pay and contribute. She just needs to talk and ask the king of Chu to raise the price, take all the excess money and leave some residue for us!"

Sun's face sank: "no, we must not let the woman take advantage of it. We earned it hard. Why should she be so vain? Even if she mediates, we'll give her a gift of thanks at that time. It's only one or two thousand Liang, but now she's greedy for tens of thousands of Liang without saying a word. She's a good idea!"

Yang hated and said, "no wonder the princess of Chu took the initiative to find us and regarded us as fools!"

After looking at Yang's family, sun came up with an idea and said, "why not? When you go to deliver the goods to the military headquarters, ask the man privately what the price of each winter coat is. Then you will know how much money Princess Chu has greedy for us."

"What if they don't?" Yang was embarrassed: "I'm afraid those people dare not say it. After all, who dares to offend the name of the king of Chu and the princess of Chu? Don't you ask for trouble when you say it?"

What can we do? Do you watch Luo qingluan take away what they deserve? And leave them speechless?

Suddenly, sun whispered, "why don't you go and secretly ask the price of the cheapest winter clothes on the market. We'll buy a batch as the quantity, cut half of the original, and tell Princess Chu at the end of next month that we've finished the second batch, isn't it..."

Yang understood as soon as he heard it. Isn't this buying low and selling high?

A cheap winter coat on the market is at most one or two silver. It's only ten thousand silver to buy ten thousand pieces, and it may be cheaper. She can save 10000 sets of her own, and then sell them to the military headquarters at a high price for the second time, so as to make a difference!

He immediately smiled and Yang nodded: "OK, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law know. I can't be wrong this time. I'll ask someone secretly these two days. Don't worry, I've known several people who do business in this field. I just need to inquire."
