Jiang Muyu got up very early.

I was sick for half a month and put many things on hold.

Chu Yu sent a message saying that the shop had been renovated, so she decided to go and take a look.

Today she only brought Yunxuan and Yunyan with her, and did not prepare any extra carriages. The three of them, the master and her servants, rode in the same carriage, while Yunshan stayed at the mansion to look after Tangtang and Nanxing.

During this time, Tangtang has been learning to read with Nanxing, and Liang Jinghe will also teach Tangtang after returning from his ten-day vacation. Now it is August, and Tangtang's fourth birthday will be in two days. It is time for her to tell her subordinates to start preparing.

Alas - I am very busy.

It didn't take long to get there from the palace. Jiang Muyu felt a little sleepy when she got on the carriage. Just as her eyelids closed, she heard the driver outside announce, "Your Majesty, we're here."

She immediately perked up, straightened her slightly dishevelled clothes, opened the car curtain and walked out.

The supervisor had received the reply letter long ago and was waiting outside the door. When he saw her, he smiled and greeted her, "Jiang Dongjia, you are here."

When Chu Yu helped her find workers, she asked not to use her real identity and only gave her last name as Jiang. She also rode in the palace's reserved carriage today, and her appearance was very low-key, so the supervisors always thought that she was just a wealthy patron.

"Well, Mrs. Chu told me that the shop was renovated, so I came to take a look."

The supervisor nodded and said, "Of course, since you paid the money, we, the people below, will do our job well. The final inspection work must be personally reviewed by you."

Yun Xuan gestured from the side, "Please ask the supervisor to come."

"Okay."

The supervisor walked to the front and led Jiang Muyu into the shop, introducing the shop while showing him around. This supervisor really did his job well and basically fulfilled all of Jiang Muyu's previous ideas. He also patiently explained the reasons for some of the parts that were not completed.

She looked around and was generally very satisfied. In that era, there was no electricity, and many of the effects she wanted to achieve were indeed difficult to realize. However, they did their best to meet her requirements, and for this reason alone, she felt that the money was well spent, not to mention that these workers did their work very meticulously.

She thought for a moment and said to the supervisor, "Well done. Come with me to South Street later."

The supervisor was puzzled and asked, "Why does the Jiangdong family want me to go to South Street?"

"Of course I'm going to introduce you to a new job. What? Don't you want to do it?"

"Do it, do it." Upon hearing that there was more money to be made, the supervisor smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He bent his waist and said, "In the future, if the Jiangdong family needs any work, you can ask me. The workers I bring are all the best. I will definitely do the work beautifully and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Jiang Muyu nodded and said, "Yunxuan, pay them this time's wages first."

"Yes." Yun Xuan gestured to the supervisor, "Come with me."

"Okay, thank you Jiang Dong family."

The supervisor happily followed Yun Xuan to get his wages.

Jiang Muyu ordered Yunyan to go to the street and find an old scholar who had a stall writing letters for people. She gave him a hundred coins and asked him to write a job notice according to what she said, and then close the shop and post it on the door.

Yun Yan watched from the side and couldn't help asking, "Madam, your errand boy must be literate, have regular facial features, and be six feet tall or taller. Isn't that a bit too demanding?"

Jiang Muyu pointed to the second to last line and said, "Since I offer such a high salary, I must have some high requirements, right?"

She offered each person a basic salary of five taels per month, plus a performance-based commission. Indeed, looking around the entire capital, there were only a few shops that could pay their servants so high.

Yunyan thought about it and realized that this was the truth. Then she pointed to a place and asked, "Madam, what is the meaning of this interview?"

"Since my shop hire has made so many requirements, I naturally have to have a detailed face-to-face discussion with him to know whether he meets the requirements."

"Oh, so an interview means a face-to-face interview?"

"Uh... I can understand that."

There was a hint of admiration in Yunyan's eyes when she looked at her.

She now feels that the princess is amazing. As a woman, she actually knows so much. She can make cakes and toys, manage farms and do business. She is really smart and capable.

She even thought that it would be nice if the princess could always stay with the prince, and maybe she could help them accomplish their great cause sooner.

Unfortunately, the prince objected to her suggestion just now, saying that this was a serious matter and others should not be involved.

But she didn't understand, the princess had given birth to children for the prince, so how could she be considered an outsider?

Seeing that Jiang Muyu had already boarded the carriage, she collected her thoughts and immediately followed.

"My lady, where are we going next?"

"Let's go to the rice and flour shop on South Street."

"Okay."

After waiting for a while, when Yun Xuan got on the carriage, Yun Yan told the driver to drive the carriage to the rice and flour shop on South Street.

Shopkeeper Tong and two waiters sat in a row at the door of the shop, looking at the people coming and going. Opposite them was a restaurant, and business was booming. Even before noon, there were already customers coming in and out.

Most of the rice and flour in the shop behind them have been sold out, and they haven't received any new stock in recent days. The whole shop looks empty and desolate. Not only are there fewer and fewer customers, but even the cockroaches and rats have moved out in tears recently because they are running out of food.

The three of them were speechless, waiting anxiously.

They were stunned for a moment until a carriage stopped in front of them, then they hurriedly stood up and went to greet it.

Shopkeeper Tong stood beside the carriage and asked, "Do you want to buy rice or flour or soybeans and sorghum? We have just cleared out our store and only have some wheat and red beans left. Do you need any?"

"Yes." A woman's voice came from the carriage.

Shopkeeper Tong was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he saw the car curtain open and a beautiful woman in a plain silk dress walked out.

He immediately bowed and said, "I have seen the princess."

Jiang Muyu smiled, and walked down with the help of Yun Yanhui, and said, "Shopkeeper Tong, have all the stocks been sold out?"

"My lady, we are out of stock."

"Well, I'll take the remaining ones that haven't been sold. You just need to pack them up and store them in the warehouse. I'll call the workers and we can start renovating the shop this afternoon."

"Okay, okay."

Finally, there was something to do. Both the shopkeeper Tong and the waiter were smiling and immediately went to do their work as they were told.

They had just finished counting and storing the remaining goods when the supervisor came with the workers.

Jiang Muyu and the supervisor had a conversation while inspecting the shop, explained the ideas for the renovation clearly, and then arranged for the workers to start work.

Jiang Muyu called the supervisor aside and said, "To be honest, I own several shops and I plan to renovate them all."

Having said this, she paused deliberately, and looked at him with her bright eyes.

The supervisor immediately understood and said with a smile, "I know that the Jiangdong family trusts me, so I will give them a fair price. Previously, we agreed that I and the four workers would pay a total of 120 taels of silver. So starting from this shop, we will only charge you... 110 taels of silver per shop, okay?"

Jiang Muyu shook his head and said, "Supervisor, we will renovate each shop one by one and our cooperation will last until next year. In fact, I can also find other workers during this period. Wouldn't it be faster if we both renovate together?

But I left all the work to you out of trust. You know, I run a small business, and you have made a lot of money before we even start the business. Can we be more honest?"

She was so eloquent that the supervisor was unable to refute her for a moment. He hesitated for a while and said, "Then...then what's the deduction? One hundred taels per room? The Jiangdong family can't pay any less."

Jiang Muyu calculated that she still had six shops waiting to be renovated. If she gave twenty taels of silver less for each shop, she would save a total of one hundred and twenty taels. Isn't this like renovating five shops and getting one free?

Wow, this supervisor is really honest.

She immediately shook the supervisor's hand and said with a smile, "Happy cooperation, happy cooperation."

The supervisor was a little confused by her enthusiasm and thought, businessmen are really money-minded.

Although he couldn't help but murmur in his heart, he still said in a friendly manner: "Jiang Dong family, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Jiang Muyu stayed here until noon, and specifically instructed Yun Xuan and others to go to the restaurant opposite to buy food for the workers before he got on the carriage and left.
