Volume 2, Chapter 302: The Change of Granny Qian

Shangguan Ruoli asked Shuan Zhu to inquire about what happened on the road and find out the child's details.

Lively events cannot escape the beggars in the city. They have nothing to do. They go wherever there are many people and lively activities. At that time, there were two beggars nearby watching the lively business.

Shuan Zhu asked the little beggars to go out and inquire, and they found out. After Dong Shi left, the little boy stopped crying and begging others, wiped his tears and left. Someone saw him entering a courtyard in a civilian area.

The courtyard is not big but very nice, and the people who come out to do shopping are well-dressed.

Shangguan Ruoli asked Dongming Ziyu, "Do you think there will be people who take in beggars and let them do things like us?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "This is normal. What we can think of, others can also think of. I will ask Shuan Zhu to be careful and pay attention to that yard."

At the after-dinner meeting, I asked Dong Shi to talk about this matter. Everyone felt that they had learned a lot. Especially Chen Qingyun, who was filled with emotion after listening to it. It was really a great experience.

As a result, everyone was even more energetic.

Shangguan Ruoli's knitting shop was opened, and it was also recorded in Mrs. Qian's name. It was regarded as the family's property. The Li family was in charge of the shop, and the Liu family was in charge of the knitting workshop.

It's not that Shangguan Ruoli is selfless and generous, but that she is very salty now and doesn't want to worry about too many things. She has space for everything and has no strong desire for material things. She has no interest in fame and status. She is at the pinnacle of women.

I've been there for many years, and that's all.

Because of this incident, her status in the family has become higher. She doesn't express her stance easily, but when she does, everyone obeys her orders.

Mrs. Qian gained another piece of property and was full of energy. She also did not treat Shangguan Ruoli badly. Shangguan Ruoli came up with the idea, the shop and the yard as a workshop, but gave Shangguan Ruoli a personal share.

Things like clothing must be constantly innovated to make money. Mrs. Qian didn't understand it, so she set up a bonus system. Whoever designs and sells good new patterns will be rewarded with a large sum of money. Moreover, whether they are their own workers or not, outsiders

As long as there are good tricks, she will still reward them.

Weaving is not a sophisticated skill. A skilled person can weave it by taking it apart and studying it. Within a month, an embroiderer actually sold two designs and received a bonus, which attracted the workers to study day and night.

Therefore, the knitting shop not only has flat-knit socks, sweaters and trousers, gloves, hats, but also a variety of beautiful and exquisite purses, satchels, backpacks, shawls, jackets, cloaks, tops, skirts...

When Shangguan Ruoli saw that pattern, he admired the wisdom and aesthetics of the working people.

Not only did the goods of the weaving shop sell well in the capital, but also foreign merchants from surrounding areas came to buy goods, and the weaving workshop recruited a group of female workers.

Mrs. Qian also asked the really delicious snack shop in the city to give out the expired snacks to beggars and poor people. Although the shop controlled the quantity so that there would not be too much that could not be sold, it gave Dongming Ziyu a good reputation.

Moreover, it is equivalent to telling everyone: My dim sum is fresh, and the expired ones will not be sold and will be given away. The business of the delicious dim sum shop has become even better, and even the nobles in the palace have asked people to come out to buy it.

Shangguan Ruoli sighed privately: "Mom is really a smart old lady."

Dongming Ziyu had the memory of the original owner and had real feelings for Mrs. Qian. He smiled and said: "This is called 'if you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are rich, you can help the world.' When the status is no longer used, the vision and mind will be different."

Shangguan Ruoli was not idle either. She built a small greenhouse in the yard and planted some famous flowers and grasses. She also took care of the greenhouse on the village. She used seeds from the space and they grew very well. Especially the melons.

The fruits and vegetables were all supplied to Shangguan Ruolan's restaurant, and the guests liked them very much.

On this day, after Dongming Ziyu finished speaking the classics to the emperor, the emperor asked: "I heard that you gave fruits and vegetables to your colleagues in the Hanlin Academy?"

Dongming Ziyu closed the book and said: "My wife likes to grow things, so she built a greenhouse on the village and planted some fruits and vegetables. I asked the official to let everyone try them. After all, everyone has to eat vegetables, and the conditions are good.

I have a restaurant and restaurant at home, and if necessary, I can buy it from my wife’s store.”

The emperor couldn't laugh or cry, "I didn't expect that Shangguan Ruoli would be so down-to-earth after losing his memory. Why don't you send me some to try?"

Dongming Ziyu was surprised, "No subordinate would dare to enter the things that enter the Emperor's entrance."

It was easy to get tampered with when eating, and he didn't want to mess with it.

The emperor waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I will ask someone to go to Shangguan Ruoli's Zhuangzi to buy it."

Dongming Ziyu was still worried, "Then, Your Majesty, you must keep it a secret and don't let others know that you are sending someone to Neizi Zhuangzi to buy melons and fruits."

The emperor looked at him meaningfully and said, "You are very cautious. It is rare for you to be so calm and calm when you first enter officialdom, and not be surprised by favors or humiliations."

Dongming Ziyu said immodestly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment."

The emperor smiled and asked: "Do you think it is necessary to form a navy?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "It is very necessary. I have a long coastline to the east and no navy. This is a loophole in our defense. Not only can neighboring countries invade us from the sea, but there are also pirates. There are many islands in the middle of the sea.

nation.

Those countries are not necessarily poorer and backward than us. If they have strong navies and fleets, and if they attack one day, we will be unprepared and will only suffer a loss."

The emperor sighed: "Many officials in the court objected, saying that there were only some pirates and Japanese pirates along the coast, and the local government and garrison could handle them. There was no need to spend huge military expenditures to build a navy. Military ships were a huge expense, and they were thrown into

Such a large amount of military expenditure can only be used a few times, so it is a waste."

Dongming Ziyu said: "Do the military expenditures for the border garrison be small every year? They can only be used a few times a year, or even all year round. Isn't it a waste? The same principle applies."

The emperor nodded slightly, pointed at the imperial desk with his fingers, and said: "The civil strife has just subsided, the natural disaster has just passed, and the national treasury is empty. There is really nowhere to find this expense."

Dongming Ziyu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I have an idea, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
