Tang Shiyue said, "As long as each trip is no less than 2,000 jin, and you bring about ten people, each person can usually get 200 to 300 liang! If winter is over, you can get cashmere, which will be even more."
Han Yi's eyes lit up.
In fact, he wasn't really calculating how much wages he could get, he just wanted to carefully experience the feeling of...making money in an honest way.
He thought quietly for a moment, then said solemnly: "Okay."
He perked up and discussed with her: "Ayue, I'm actually thinking, let's see if Qian Hou is reliable. If he is reliable, why not give him the job of collecting wool? He is a local and familiar with the situation. It is much better for him to collect it slowly than for us to rush to collect it..."
He paused and said, "Who wants to be a gangster when you can make money by doing a decent job? Don't you think so?"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Shiyue interrupted him with a smile: "You make the decision on these matters yourself, I only look at the results. I don't know Qian Hou, how can I help you make a judgment?"
Boss Han: “…”
He covered his face helplessly for a long time. He didn't know how many times he had been defeated by this young lady's courage. "Okay, I get it." He half-jokingly complained: "Do you trust me so much? I don't even trust myself!"
Only when the burden is on your shoulders will you know how to worry. People's potential is forced out.
...
...
Tang Shiyue raised the corner of her mouth and asked him, "Where are the wools now?"
Han Yi said, "I thought I'd bring it back right away. You might not have a place to put it, so I found a big house in town to put it first. I'll ship it back when you tell me you want."
Tang Shiyue frowned and thought about it.
Three thousand kilograms is not a lot, but it needs to be washed, dyed, and dried, all of which requires space and manpower.
And then you have to twist the yarn, and the next step is to knit a sweater. Knitting a sweater is a very tedious process and very time-consuming.
It seems that if I want to do this for a long time, setting up a weaving workshop is imperative.
Tang Shiyue said, "Go back and build good relationships with those people, and ask someone to find out which dyeing shop in the town is better. After sending them away, we will go. I will go find the clan leader tomorrow to set a place, and then come to the town to find you."
Han Yi agreed and was about to leave. Tang Shiyue said, "Wait!"
She called out the swordsmen and asked them to find Tang Dongzi and Tang Junliang, and then told them: "You will follow Brother Han tomorrow, and do whatever he tells you to do."
Han Yi knew that she wanted the two children to meet people and broaden their horizons so that she could use them more easily in the future, so he agreed with a smile.
He didn't hesitate and got on the mule cart and fell asleep, letting the two children drive the cart to the town in the dark.
By the time he left, it was already late. Tang Shiyue and the other person were not sleepy at all because of his noise, so they continued to sit in the yard and talk.
As the business grows, the most troublesome thing is that there is no one available.
Fourth Uncle Tang is a simple and honest person, who can only maintain the status quo. He is still not good at socializing and knowledge, so he can't let go of the winery. If the weaving workshop is opened, she will be in charge of the "outside", and no one will be able to take care of the "inside". Madam Zhou is not good at this, and she is pregnant.
Tang Shiyue felt that it would become increasingly difficult to be lazy in the future, and was very worried.
Qi Jing said: "All skills need to be passed down. If you want to teach others, you can no longer be so casual."
Tang Shiyue was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant: "You mean, I should formally accept a disciple in the future?"
"Yes," Qi Jing said, "Once a teacher, always a father. Only when you formally become a disciple, can you become a family."
Tang Shiyue thought about it carefully and nodded slowly.
In this era, people respect "teachers" very much. The authority of a master is even higher than that of parents. Therefore, if a master accepts an apprentice, it is equivalent to having an additional younger generation. To be honest, even if she beats her, it is justified, and generally no one dares to betray her.
Whether it is knitting or crocheting, there are countless varieties, and she can indeed select a few apprentices based on their merits.
She remembered and asked him, "By the way, have you accepted those two apprentices?"
Qi Jing said: "Ren Dong has a calm character, so I decided to accept him. But that person...has too much hatred in his heart, so I am hesitant."
The little wolf cub hasn't even given a name till now, he just calls himself Ah Ni, a name that sounds like a prickly person.
Tang Shiyue said, "He has too much hatred in his heart, but that's not a shortcoming, right? The key is whether he is right about his hatred. People may strive for wealth, power, or success, or for various reasons, but none of these are as good as striving for hatred."
She said seriously: "Hatred is the greatest and most profound motivation for a person to make progress."
"I know," Qi Jing sighed, "but he has always refused to tell us about his affairs. So there is no way to judge. If his character is good, teaching him kung fu would be a good thing, but if he is too paranoid, teaching him kung fu would only cause trouble."
Tang Shiyue nodded, and without further questioning, he asked him again: "Come to think of it, do you know someone as versatile as Manager Shen?"
Qi Jing was a little amused: "I didn't expect you to think so highly of him. I thought you didn't like him."
He asked casually, "Will you still make Fushou wine for him next year?"
"We'll see then," Tang Shiyue said nonchalantly, "Even if we do it, it can't be done this way."
Qi Jing nodded and suddenly said, "Chen Qian is mine."
She was stunned, and looked up at him speechlessly. Qi Jing met her gaze quietly and said, "I had already told him at the time, but I didn't expect you to do it by yourself without using me at all."
Tang Shiyue glared at him: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"If I had told you earlier, wouldn't you be unhappy if you got angry?" Qi Jing raised the corner of his mouth: "Besides, it's better to cooperate with me directly than to cooperate with him. You can just let me do it if you have something to do."
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Do you want to take on this knitting job?"
She teased him on purpose, but he looked calm and said, "I'm not picky about jobs. If I can't do it, I can find someone who can. But I think you want to do this yourself, right?"
She really wants to do this job herself, because it is a job that is more suitable for women and is more suitable for her to develop independently.
You know, although knitting a sweater may not seem like a big deal in modern times, it was definitely a very promising thing in the Dayan Dynasty when there was no wool.
Tang Shiyue thought about it, and suddenly thought of something: "I actually have something I can do for you, but I need to try it first."
He asked, "What?"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "The secret cannot be revealed. I will draw a picture for you when I have time."
This is something she had wanted to do for a long time, distilled liquor.
She had thought about it for a long time and still felt that in order to distill and brew wine, she had to give it a butterfly.
First of all, there are not many fruits here in winter, so the production of longevity wine and fruit wine has to be stopped. Although some flower wine can be brewed, it is not much after all.
In addition, there are many fruit wines, such as green plum wine, which need to be brewed with strong liquor and cannot be brewed with low-alcohol liquor.
Besides, as for the wool business, since it is a long-term business and trading with people on the grassland, silver is not as useful as goods, and the grassland is cold, so what can compare to strong liquor?
But this is different from making fruit wine. The purity of the wine is much higher. This is a groundbreaking thing and it is not something a small country winery can afford. It is like a child holding a golden doll. If it is brewed, there will probably be endless troubles. It is a bit troublesome just thinking about it.
In addition, after the last lawsuit, she also realized that Tang Sishu and his wife were already very satisfied with their current situation, and they might not be willing to innovate. After all, this would mean an exponential increase in risks, which they could not afford.
But if Qi Jing can do it and has enough means to protect himself, she doesn't mind letting him do it.
