Although Yiming was not as smart as Yili, he knew that Chai Shijing was looking forward to seeing Kang Yueran every day. He shouted, "I'll go and invite him!"
He went out and searched for a long time before he finally invited Kang Yueran back to the workshop in Yiziyuan.
Guo Tong smiled at Kang Yueran and said, "Miss Kang, most of the disaster victims have signed contracts with the Heshun Company. Mr. He has assigned five small managers to each county to be responsible for building houses."
Kang Yueran nodded, "Master He and his men are always very considerate in their work."
"Miss, you're right! But winter is almost here, and without a quilt to keep you warm, you'll freeze to death. Does Miss have any good advice?"
That's not difficult! "Master Guo can organize donations from merchants. No gold or silver needed, just old cotton-padded clothes and quilts, even those with patches, even those worn by servants.
Find someone to dismantle it, fluff the cotton, and then make it into cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and sell it to the people at a low price. The money from the sale will pay the workers who fluff the cotton and make cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
Nowadays, many old clothes are exported abroad after being reprocessed, and this industry has already formed a large scale. An individual business owner who collects old clothes can easily earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year if he is diligent.
Guo Tong's eyes lit up and he laughed heartily, "I told you, it's definitely the right thing to ask Miss Kang for advice."
Kang Yueran reminded him, "Master Guo, don't be happy yet. There is another problem. There are many people in Anzhou who are in need of cotton-padded clothes and quilts. The quantity you can supply is limited. It will be a troublesome matter to decide who to give to and who not to give to."
"It is impossible to guarantee that everyone has food to eat and clothes to wear during disaster relief. I will let the city guards take them to the village to sell." Anyway, King Ping said that the city guards must atone their sins, so all the hard work should be done by them.
"That's good!"
Guo Tong then told Chai Shijing about the disaster relief situation. The victims had returned to the village, the epidemic was under control, and everything was moving in a positive direction.
After returning to Anzhou, Guo Tong immediately sent people to deliver letters to various merchants, organizing everyone to donate old clothes.
Kang Yueran asked Xu Jiushi to find some usable old clothes and quilts from Qingping Mountain and send them to Guo Tong.
Seeing that it was just a donation of goods, merchants also responded. In just three days, Guo Tong received cotton-padded clothes and quilts from three large warehouses.
He also gathered people to fluff cotton, make cotton clothes and quilts, and was busy all the time.
Chai Shijing was completely free. His injuries had healed well and he could get out of bed and walk around slowly with the help of someone.
Day 1
Chai Shijing: Yueran, I come to play chess with you!
Kang Yueran: The winter wheat that was just planted in the field isn’t germinating well. I’m trying to figure out a solution. Get out of here!
Chai Shijing: I'll just sit there and drink tea with you, and I promise not to make any noise. Yili, you dare to help me over.
Day 2
Chai Shijing: Yueran, I come to play chess with you.
Kang Yueran: Recently, many of our colleagues’ relatives have come to us, and some of them refuse to leave. I’m dealing with them, so get out!
Chai Shijing: I'll just sit there and drink tea with you. Bow and help me over.
Day 3
Chai Shijing: Yueran, I come to play chess with you.
Kang Yueran: Can't you find another excuse? I'm writing about the production process of soybean oil, soy sauce, and soybean paste. Get out!
Chai Shijing: I'll drink tea with you!
Day 4
Chai Shijing: Yueran, I came to see you, uh... to have tea with you.
Kang Yueran: I'm busy, get out!
Chai Shijing: I'll drink tea with you!
Day 5
Kang Yueran: Get out!
Chai Shijing: I'll drink tea with you!
Day...
This was the seventh time Kang Yueran sat at the desk and looked towards the door.
Chai Shijing came late, holding Yili's arm, and when he walked to the door, he met Kang Yueran's eyes.
"Yueran, you must be getting impatient. But I can't accompany you this morning. The new governor, He Zeng, arrived in Anzhou last night. He'll be here soon."
"Who's impatient? Don't be so complacent." Kang Yueran was stunned. "Who are you talking about? The new governor?"
When Liu Xiaocao saw Chai Shijing enter the study, she hurried to the kitchen and brought a pot of hot water to the study as she did before.
Chai Shijing had already sat down on the chair next to the tea table. He smiled and thanked Liu Xiaocao.
Liu Xiaocao smiled brightly, "Your Highness is too polite. This is what a common woman should do."
Kang Yueran stroked his forehead. Chai Shijing's smile was truly infectious, making it easy for people to develop a favorable impression of him. He then extended a small favor, and immediately became a well-regarded good man, praised by everyone in Courtyard A.
Now, Liu Xiaocao never forgets to give Chai Shijing a portion of whatever delicious food she makes. "I heard Yiziyuan has some new pastries. I'll go get some later and send them to the prince, uh, to the prince and the young lady."
Chai Shijing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kang Yueran, then nodded slightly to Liu Xiaocao, "Thank you for your help!"
Liu Xiaocao waved her hand and said, "Your Highness, you're welcome. I'll go to Yiziyuan right away."
Kang Yueran and Chai Shijing were the only ones left in the study.
Kang Yueran was very angry, "Don't smile at the people in my yard."
Chai Shijing fiddled with the tea set to make tea for himself, "What's wrong? Is it sour? Don't worry, I still like smiling at you the most."
"You old rascal! Get out of here!"
Chai Shijing poured hot water into the teapot and covered it with a lid to let it sit for a while. "Don't you want to hear about the new governor?"
Uh... she still needs to understand the official above her. "Then stop talking nonsense and speak quickly!"
"The new governor's name is He Zeng. He was a top scholar, but his family is not prominent. He married the second daughter of the Yongshou Earl's family. Before coming to Anzhou, he served as an assistant minister in the Ministry of Revenue."
Kang Yueran spread his hands and said, "Is that all?"
Chai Shijing poured a cup of tea. "He once studied at the Imperial College and is considered my senior. He is mine!"
Kang Yueran teased, "Is this what you got in exchange for all your injuries?"
Chai Shijing didn't deny it. "I didn't want to get hurt! But since I'm already hurt, I should at least make use of it and get some benefits."
"The term of office for officials in Dayong is five years. I heard that Liao Changsheng gives the Crown Prince tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. This good thing will fall on you in the future. Are you happy?"
Chai Shijing took a sip of tea and said, "He Zeng is an upright person. He would not cheat merchants out of money. You can rest assured, Yueran. Besides, Yueran, you are so good at making money. Why do I need others to provide me with money?"
"What? Are you telling me the truth? You shamelessly come to me every day just to trick me into giving you money."
Chai Shijing explained calmly, "There are many wealthy businessmen in the world. I can also learn from the prince and take a few more women home to marry, and let those women's families serve me.
Yueran, I don't want to do that because I am extremely ashamed of such behavior. But Yueran, you are different. You are mine, and everything you have is mine."
Kang Yueran rolled her eyes. "You are so shameless! Everything that belongs to me is yours, but what belongs to you is also mine? If one day you gain control of the country, will you be willing to share it with me?"
