Chapter 563 The dust has settled on the fiefdom
In addition, the jewelry processing workshop has also reached a certain scale. In order to prevent the production process from being leaked, He Zhiran specially went to the jewelry store to buy more than 20 craftsmen, who are responsible for using molds to make various gold and silver jewelry.
Not only that, skilled craftsmen can also create jewelry inlaid with various gemstones.
Tang Mingrui has opened more than a dozen hot pot restaurants, and his business is booming.
As soon as the hot pot restaurant business got on track, he immediately took time off to run the jewelry shop.
No matter what era, the period before the Chinese New Year is the time when businesses make the most profits.
People have a habit of saving money during the year and spending it during the Chinese New Year.
Therefore, he must make a fortune before the New Year.
The jewelry made with the molds prepared by He Zhiran is not only beautiful in style, but also produced at a speed that cannot be compared with handmade production.
In other words, it takes the same amount of time to make a hundred pieces of jewelry using a mold as it does to make only one piece by hand.
Therefore, when she informed Tang Mingrui to prepare the shop, the Mo family had already created countless gold and silver jewelry.
After all, time was tight and it was the end of the year, so it was inconvenient for Tang Mingrui to travel too far to make arrangements. He could only temporarily open a jewelry store in the provincial capital.
However, he also knew that these jewelries were beautiful and unique in appearance and would definitely be loved by women. Relying solely on the purchasing power of the wealthy families in the northwest would not achieve the desired effect.
Fortunately, he had many connections in other places, and He Zhiran also cooperated very well and used sketching to draw a poster for a new type of jewelry. Although the realism was not as good as photographic technology, it was far better than the ink paintings of that era.
Moreover, it is obvious that this poster is a painting, so even if someone admires it, it will not be suspected.
In order to allow Tang Mingrui to send the poster to more people, He Zhiran bought a copier in Taobao Mall and placed it in the space, and copied the poster hundreds of times.
This really helped Tang Mingrui a lot. Posters were sent to various state capitals, and on the day the Northwest Jewelry Store opened, it was packed with people.
Because these jewelry styles are special, the prices are naturally much higher. Even so, the goods displayed in the shop that day were sold out.
Tang Mingrui had not expected this trend. He knew that people's consumption awareness would be stronger before the Chinese New Year, but how could it be so strong?
In fact, He Zhiran supplied him with a lot of jewelry, but people who did jewelry business in this era were very cautious. After all, the world was in chaos, and bandits and robbers could be seen everywhere. If they were robbed, it would be a loss.
Therefore, on the first day of opening Tang Mingrui's jewelry shop, he simply placed the items according to the estimated quantity, but he didn't expect that they were all sold out.
It is not surprising that a food shop would sell out all its goods, but who has ever heard of a jewelry shop selling out all its goods?
That could only mean that the owner of this shop was not strong enough to store more goods, or that he was having a clearance sale on the goods in the shop.
However, it was not due to these two reasons. Not only were there a lot of goods, but there were even more than in other jewelry shops, and the prices were extremely high.
Then we can only say that these jewelries are very much in line with the aesthetic tastes of people of this era.
In short, no matter what, whether it was the jewelry store or the hot pot restaurant, Tang Mingrui and He Zhiran made a lot of money before the Chinese New Year.
Everyone can see that the dividends He Zhiran received can be used for the construction of his fiefdom with justification.
The income from the otter rabbit fur coats was so considerable that it amazed the Mo family.
Even He Shangshu's family found it unbelievable. When did their daughter (sister) develop such a brain that is good at making money?
At the same time, He Ziming's clinic was successfully opened in Yuncheng. He Zhiran asked Lan'er to follow her elder brother to the clinic to help every day, with the purpose of allowing the two to enhance their relationship before marriage.
Of course, she was able to do this because her mother persuaded her father to agree to their marriage.
Before the Chinese New Year, an imperial edict came from the capital, exonerating Fang Chuanzhou, Xie Tianhai, and Hu Cong.
Nan Yu knew that Mo Jiuye was in need of people to build his fiefdom, so he left it to the three of them to decide whether to stay or go.
If they are willing to stay in the Northwest Gang with Mo Jiuye, he will not transfer them back to Beijing to take up positions. On the contrary, if they are willing to return to the capital, Nanyu will welcome them with open arms. After all, he has just ascended the throne and needs people.
After receiving the imperial edict, the three immediately expressed their willingness to continue living in the northwest.
Needless to say, Hu Cong was a casual person. Moreover, like Mohism, he was extremely disappointed with the court.
Especially now that he has a carefully formed engineering team, not only does he do what he likes every day, but He Zhiran also comes up with something new for him to do from time to time.
Hu Cong felt that these were much more interesting than being that crap Minister of Works in the capital.
What's more, he is alone now. If he eats well, the whole family will not be hungry. Isn't it better to be free every day than to be restricted in the capital?
Speaking of Hu Cong being single, Madam Mo and Concubine De have been really worried about his marriage. They have already found several matchmakers in the city to help Hu Cong remarry.
Hu Cong was not opposed to this. After all, he had already walked out of that shadow. He also believed in the vision of Madam Mo and Concubine De. As long as they liked someone, the person must be good.
Just recently, Madam Mo and Concubine De helped him find a girl from a certain family.
The girl's family is simple, with only a brother, sister-in-law and a little nephew.
Because her parents passed away one after another within a few years, the girl delayed her marriage due to mourning.
The girl is now 22 years old, and has long passed the best age for marriage. Her brothers and sisters-in-law are reluctant to let her make too many compromises, so it has been delayed until now.
They heard about Hu Cong's situation. Although Hu Cong was a little older and his wife had run away, he was capable after all and had no children or elderly people to take care of. Such conditions were already very good for the girl.
This matter was handled by Madam Mo and Concubine De. Both parties had already exchanged gifts and were waiting to get married after the first month of the lunar year.
Hu Cong has now established a family business in the northwest and is about to start a family. His life can be considered complete.
Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai were already deeply grateful to the Mohist School, and this was the biggest reason why they were unwilling to leave the Northwest.
In addition, both of them are getting older, and there are no successful younger generations in their families, so there are no good jobs for them even if they go to the capital.
A while ago, I heard He Zhiran say that he was going to set up a compulsory education school where every child between the ages of six and fifteen in the fiefdom, regardless of gender, would have to attend.
Most importantly, the school does not charge any fees.
