Chapter 223: Marriage
Li Wanyue frowned and said, "This... requires a lot of manpower, because collecting, picking and processing these plush is quite time-consuming. My Lord, why don't you ask other places to do it together?"
Rong Kuo sighed, "These are only 30% of the total demand. The northwest and northeast also need a lot. Quilts are okay, but clothes are more in demand. They are often damaged during training, so we always have to prepare enough replacements. I will ask other places to make them."
Xie Yan said: "Brother Rong, don't worry, I will do my best to get someone to do it."
Rong Kuo patted his shoulder and said, "Ayan, I won't thank you. Tomorrow I will leave to inform other places and ask them to make it as soon as possible according to the county lord's method. I will leave two people here. After a batch is made, I will ask them to send it to the border first."
Xie Yan responded, and Rong Kuo went to find his subordinates to give them instructions.
Li Wanyue looked at Xie Yan and said, "Even if you ask everyone in the county to do it, there are enough people, but where can we find cloth and stuff?"
"When it comes to merchants, they always have to do some superficial work. This matter will be of great help to the court, and there will be no merchant who would not want to contribute."
As he said that, Xie Yan looked at Li Wanyue and said, "Wanyue, when you go back, tell your village chief that if any villagers in the village want to do it, they will be charged thirty coins a day. Tell him to remember this."
"good."
Li Wanyue knew that he still had things to do, so she went back with Li Dachuan.
After Xie Yan sent the people out of the county government office, he immediately asked the clerk to write a notice and post it at the city gate. He also asked the yamen runners to notify the heads of each town and asked them to collect the duck and goose feathers in their jurisdiction.
They also asked people to use the fluff brought by Li Wanyue as a reference and go to other towns to teach them how to pick out usable fluff and how to clean it.
Then he asked someone to invite Qin Yunyi over.
When Qin Yunyi heard about this, he immediately expressed his willingness to transfer cloth from various places, and would also ask friendly merchants to transfer cloth and collect fluff.
On the other side, Li Wanyue went back and told the village chief about the matter, and the village chief immediately notified everyone.
The villagers were naturally happy to hear that they could make money.
I heard that duck feathers and goose feathers can be used, and some people want to go home and pull some feathers off their own geese.
The people of the entire Anping County were busy.
With the help of the Qin family and various merchants, the clothes that Rong Kuo needed were made in more than 20 days, and three batches had been delivered during this period.
The money for the potatoes had also been approved. Xie Yan asked Qingfeng and the clerk to take the money to the village chief's house and distribute it to everyone. The least someone received was ten taels, and some received seventy or eighty taels.
The smiles on the villagers' faces are brighter than the sun.
Now, not only can we have a good New Year, but we can also have a luxurious New Year.
People rushed to buy meat and slaughter chickens. That night, the whole Daohua Village was filled with the aroma of meat and rice.
Although I made some money following the Li family in the past six months, I still didn't dare to eat meat to my heart's content, and I only ate rice occasionally.
Today I had a delicious meal of stewed meat with white rice.
On a morning in early winter, a layer of frost covered the withered grass and trees, the mountains in the distance were surrounded by mist, and people put on warm winter clothes.
The family has stockpiled enough food and firewood, and with money and food in hand, they can spend the winter in peace.
Because the Li family built a firewall, every room is as warm as spring.
There is not only firewood but also charcoal in the warehouse. Although there is no need to put charcoal basins in the room, they are still needed for making tea around the stove.
In the flower hall, Old Man Shen was eating fried dough sticks, tea eggs, and spicy soup, squinting his eyes in enjoyment.
Ever since Li Wanyue made these three things, he would miss them if he didn't eat them every two days.
However, fried dough sticks are high in oil, so Li Wanyue doesn’t allow her family to eat them every day, but there are no restrictions on the other two.
Seeing that he was still eating slowly, Old Lady Shen couldn't help but pat his arm and said, "Ayan will come to propose marriage later, why don't you finish eating quickly and go out and wait."
"Food is meant to be enjoyed. If he comes, it will be almost noon, which is still early. Besides, Dashan and the others are enough. We can just watch from the sidelines."
"You have a really big heart."
Old Mrs. Shen glanced at him and went out.
Near noon, the mist dissipated, and the sun broke through the clouds, casting a warm glow.
The noise came from far away and got closer. Shunzi ran over quickly and shouted, "I'm coming."
Li Youshan and his wife went to the door immediately.
A long line of people, with two people each carrying a wooden box tied with red cloth, arrived at the door of Li's house amid the onlookers of the villagers.
"Oh my god, I can't even count them all. How many boxes are there?"
"My second son said there were twenty-six of them."
"What? Twenty-six loads of betrothal gifts? How many things does that require?"
"Master Xie values Yueyue and is willing to give it to her."
The girls present looked envious.
Gao Zhiyuan, who was going to the town, hid behind the crowd and watched this scene. He felt complicated and walked away quickly with his head down.
The scene of the divorce is still vivid in my mind, but now she and I are so different.
Why did it become like this? God must have played a trick on him.
…
The betrothal gifts were carried into the Li family's home, and the housekeeper handed the gift certificate to Li Youshan.
Introduced one by one.
The betrothal gift was 10,000 taels and a deed to a manor outside the city.
A pair of richly decorated two-eared vases with cloisonné enamel, twenty rolls of silks of various colors, and a bronze mirror with double phoenix and diamond patterns.
A green jade vase with lotus pattern, a pair of red coral ornaments, a pair of hibiscus white jade cups, and a set of doucai lotus porcelain bowls.
A set of red gold headpieces inlaid with rubies, a pair of purple jade drop-bead earrings, a pair of filigree gold bracelets inlaid with beads, and a heart-shaped jade pendant.
A rhinoceros horn and jade comb.
…
There was also a box with four kinds of food, tea, and wine, half of which were gifts from the emperor.
Old man Li, old lady Li and some of the relatives stared with their eyes wide open.
It really opened my eyes.
This is too much. Could Xie Yan have moved all his assets here? But this total assets is also very rich.
Li Youshan and Zhao Suying were also a little confused.
Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen nodded with satisfaction.
Li Wanyue looked at Xie Yan: "You are so generous. You gave me that manor."
"As long as you like."
"Do you have any money?"
"No, it's almost all my belongings. If you need money in the future, please give me more."
Li Wanyue glanced at him. This man was teasing her again. She didn't believe that he only had one house.
Baiweilou’s annual revenue is quite a lot, unless Baiweilou has only been open for one year.
Xie Yan smiled and took the heart-shaped jade pendant and tied it around Li Wanyue's waist.
"I had this jade pendant custom made for me, and we just happen to have one for each of us."
Li Wanyue took a look and saw the words "Yan Yue Tong Xin" engraved on both jade pendants.
She smiled unconsciously. Other people in love have couple profile pictures, but these are couple jade pendants.
After the process was over, Shen Yu, who came with him, saw an object on the table. It was made up of several circles connected together and put on a horizontal handle. The vertical iron bars were connected to the circles, and the lower ends were stuck on the iron sheet.
What is this?
He immediately took it and asked Li Wanyue.
"Wanyue... No, cousin, what is this?"
Xie Yan looked at him with appreciation and said.
