Jiang Muyu knew Yingzhou. It was a small town on the border of Tiangan Country. It was a notoriously cold and bitter place with a backward economy and rampant bandits.

Only demoted officials in the court would be sent there to serve, and usually they would never return.

She patted Yunyan's hand gently and said, "It's hard for you too."

Yun Yan shook her head and said with a smile, "It's not hard. It's my good fortune to meet such good masters as the prince and princess."

After this period of time, Jiang Muyu realized that most of Liang Qingchen's subordinates had miserable lives, such as Yun Xuan and Yun Shan, as well as Xu Lang, Sui Miao... Everyone had unspeakable pain in their past.

Including Liang Qingchen.

However, everyone's life is full of disappointments. She didn't know how to comfort him, so she simply didn't mention it.

The carriage drove to the door of the shop, Jiang Muyu walked down, and Qingman immediately came up to greet him: "Boss, you are here."

"Yeah." Jiang Muyu said with a smile, "Let me see how the clothes are made."

"Master, please follow me."

Jiang Muyu followed him to the back yard.

The design drawings she had drawn were still posted on the wall, and the finished clothes were placed on the shelves next to them.

Jiang Muyu looked at it carefully, and the smile in his eyes became more intense. "Slow work makes fine work. Every stitch is so delicate and meticulous. I like it very much."

Qingman asked, "Does this dress meet your Majesty's expectations?"

"Not only has it been achieved, it has greatly exceeded expectations." She paused and said, "But although these embroideries are exquisite, they are really time-consuming. I think the patterns can be simplified. Also, we don't have enough workers. It takes five or six days to make a dress. The cost is too high, and it's hard to lower the selling price. Ordinary people can't afford it."

"Madam, do you want to recruit more workers?"

"Yes." Jiang Muyu nodded and said, "Also, our workshop is not big enough. I saw before that there is a large vacant yard behind the shop. I plan to buy it and use it as an embroidery workshop to be responsible for making clothes."

"The yard at the back is really big. It will probably cost a lot of money to buy it."

"I asked someone to find out in advance. Someone had died in that yard before. The owner didn't dare to live there, and outsiders didn't dare to buy it. That's why it has been vacant. If I want to buy it, it shouldn't be difficult to negotiate."

"The boss is very thoughtful." Qingman bowed to her and said, "If you need anything, Qingman will definitely help you."

Jiang Muyu patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry. I'll need you a lot more in the future."

After putting down the finished garment, she drew a new blueprint and simplified the garment a little more before handing it over to the embroiderers.

Then he said to Qingman, "Look at the price of this dress."

"yes."

After arranging matters here, Jiang Muyu went to another shop.

Business here is still very poor as usual. When I entered, I saw only the shopkeeper sitting inside, looking drowsy.

She coughed lightly, and the shopkeeper Zou suddenly woke up and said subconsciously: "The guest can take a look for himself if he needs anything."

"Zou, the shopkeeper."

When Shopkeeper Zou heard the voice, he felt it was familiar. When he looked over, he was frightened and walked over quickly, smiling awkwardly, "Madam, why are you here?"

Jiang Muyu walked around the shop and inspected it, then slowly said, "From now on, when Shopkeeper Zou is outside, he can just call me, the boss."

"Yes, yes...Boss."

"You said earlier that your shop's business is so bad because there used to be a coffin shop next to it, and the people thought it was unlucky. I just passed by and saw that the shops nearby are also doing so-so. This street is too remote and there are not many customers, so I thought about it and decided that we should move our shop."

"Uh..." This was something the shopkeeper had not expected. He asked, "Has the Madam already found a shop?"

Jiang Muyu nodded. "It's just two streets away from here. There used to be a cloth shop there, but it was sold because it didn't do well. I bought it and planned to move it over to you."

Shopkeeper Zou was overjoyed. He had been waiting for so many days and thought that the princess had forgotten about his shabby shop. He did not expect that the princess would come in person to bring him good fortune.

"Thank you, Madam." He bowed to Jiang Muyu and asked, "When is the right time for us to move there?"

"I've already sent someone to clean up the shop. If you don't have anything else to do today, just hire someone to move."

"Yes, yes." The shopkeeper set off immediately.

"And... don't worry." Jiang Muyu held his shoulders, stopping him from walking away, and said helplessly: "Your place is too shabby, you don't even have an errand boy."

Shopkeeper Zou scratched his head and said awkwardly, "We had a waiter in the early years, but later he felt that our shop was not making enough money, so he simply quit and went home to farm."

"Uh..." She held her forehead helplessly and said, "I'll give you some money for running the business, and you can hire two waiters."

"Okay."

Jiang Muyu glanced at Yun Yan, and Yun Yan took out a fifty-liang silver note and handed it to the shopkeeper Zou.

Jiang Muyu said, "This money should be enough for you to make ends meet. However, if you don't earn me 100 taels next month, you don't have to run this shop anymore."

Shopkeeper Zou immediately burst into tears and said, "Madam, I have been running this shop for many years, and even when business was good, I couldn't make 50 taels a month."

"Don't think I'm trying to make things difficult for you."

As she spoke, she ordered Yunyan to fetch the account that Qingman had just submitted and hand it to the shopkeeper Zou.

She continued, "This is the sales of another shop under my name last month. She took over hastily after Manager He left. In just one month since taking office, she has earned nearly three hundred taels of silver for me, which is nearly ten times what you reported last month. Therefore, I am very kind to ask you for only one hundred taels of silver."

Shopkeeper Zou was speechless and had no choice but to take on the task. "I will do my best."

Jiang Muyu nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, I will wait and see, waiting for good news from you, Manager Zou."

Jiang Muyu left two guards from the palace to help him move things, and he got on the carriage and left.

"Empress, where are we going next?" Yun Yan asked.

Jiang Muyu asked: "Did you take all the things I asked you to take out?"

"I brought them all."

Jiang Muyu slowly poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "It's time to go visit my good sister."

Yunyan's eyes sparkled with excitement. She opened the curtain and told the driver, "Go to Zhong's Mansion."

"Okay." The coachman slapped the horse's back.

The carriage drove steadily towards the Zhong Mansion.
