Chapter 274 My mother is a reasonable general’s wife (22)
Every dressing trend in the capital can lead the fashion trend of the entire dynasty.
If someone is wearing it at the top, there will naturally be someone learning from it below.
Some people followed suit and others saw business opportunities. Within a few days, many businessmen had sent their slaves to Luocheng.
In the face of sufficient benefits, things like celebrating the New Year are actually not that important.
On the streets of Luocheng
Yu Guang was inspecting the newly built house, while Yu Jing followed Yu Guang and reported to Yu Guang the progress of the work in recent days: "Uncle, recently, the woolen workshop in Luocheng has started to operate, and the embroiderer has also
All in training.
The people over at Ji City are asking people to train them on how to boil milk powder. The big house you requested before is built in Zecheng. The villages attached to Sancheng City are mainly engaged in farming. I heard that they have begun to fertilize according to your instructions.
"
Yu Guang nodded: "Well done, now our main experience should be with the embroiderers, because these embroiderers will be sent to various places to train other people in the future, so that they can learn well."
Speaking of this, Yu Jing's face was full of pride: "Uncle, don't worry, most of these embroiderers are immigrants. They grew up in border towns. I heard that they had the opportunity to go back to those wealthy places. They all studied carefully, for fear that they would
Can’t choose.”
This may be the only chance for those embroiderers to leave the Northland.
Then, Yu Jing showed a worried expression again: "Uncle, I heard that the wool from the Liao people is almost sold out. Do you think they will come here again?"
It has been a month since she came to the border town. Yesterday, Yu Xin told her that the uncle's house had already spent seven or eighty-eight percent of its money. If there was no further income, work would be stopped soon after the new year.
I don’t know what my uncle was thinking. Forget about building a temporary workshop, he actually asked people to renovate the houses in the city. I heard that he plans to build roads after the year.
There are also those victims. Most of the victims in the North are refugees, and they will not go out.
But every day at noon, the Marquis would serve food outside the gates of the city lord's palace in Luocheng, Jicheng, and Zecheng.
It's not about giving out porridge, but about serving rice in the proper way.
Although it is brown rice with the shell still attached, it is better than what the victims eat at home.
Adults aged 15 to 45 can receive one bowl of rice, while the elderly and children eat less and can receive half a bowl.
The villages surrounding the three cities also enjoy the same treatment.
Anyone who knows how to live can just take the food back and cook it into porridge, and the day will be over.
I heard that there was such a good thing in the three cities, and many victims came here.
Yu Guang also ordered people to arrange temporary housing for them, and also allowed them to work with the aboriginal people in the three cities to earn wages.
Yu Jing has heard many people murmuring during this time, saying that the lord of Luo City is so kind and they don't want to leave.
But although they didn't want to leave, Yu Jing didn't want them to stay.
Because I really can’t afford it financially.
Now that the money is gone, there are more than a dozen pieces of wool piled up in the house.
I'm afraid that those Liao people feel that there is nothing to gain in Luocheng and come to attack again. Then they will really have a headache.
There are also shops in the Northland, but there have been wars here all year round, and all the people with connections have moved away.
Seeing that a large number of shops were abandoned, Yu Guang spent money to renovate these shops.
He reached out and touched the newly repaired wall, and whispered to Yu Jing from the corner of his eye: "Don't worry, they won't act rashly until they are sure that the milk in the coming year will really make money."
Seeing that Yu Jing was about to speak again, Yu Guang said again: "I have made an agreement with those workers. I know that the work is difficult now, but the underground flue I want will be done well, and the wages will not be in vain."
Under this productivity, people represent a steady stream of money.
Knowing that Yu Guang didn't want to talk about these things anymore, Yu Jing quickly agreed: "Yes!"
It's freezing cold now, and the sun only shines for three or four hours a day, so craftsmen can only work during this time.
The working hours have been shortened by half, but the wages have not changed. Workers can still eat two meals a day. Just thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken.
Out of the corner of my eye, I didn't think there was anything wrong. What Beiland lacks now is workers, not money.
Although she has no salary now, officials of third rank or above will be rewarded during festivals and festivals, so her share must be on the way.
Moreover, she had clearly stated her profit in the letter. Even if Emperor Haoxuan didn't like her, he would not be in trouble with Yinzi.
As long as the clothes are worn on the body, they are a perfect living advertisement.
Once the advertisement is put out, the funds that will come back should not be too small, enough for her to do other things.
Therefore, there is no real way to win in the world, it is nothing more than operation.
A few days before the Spring Festival, the first batch of caravans had already arrived in Luocheng.
Luocheng was not much different from what they had in mind. The narrow and bumpy official roads, and the dilapidated city gates full of traces of war from a distance looked quite desolate.
The merchants who came to buy goods couldn't help but shake their heads. It was so desolate here. No wonder Uncle Changbei was thinking about making new things.
Because if there is no gimmick, who would be willing to mess around with Changbei Hou.
The group of people entered the city with doubts. When they actually entered Luocheng, they found that the Northland seemed different from what they imagined.
The snow on the street was neatly swept on both sides, and everyone I saw on the road seemed to be busy.
Everyone on the road was walking very fast, as if they were in a hurry.
The head steward was a little confused and was about to stop the people and ask, when he saw another group of ragged people coming out of the houses on the street and walking quickly in the direction of the previous people.
Seeing the hurried footsteps of these people, the steward quickly ordered the guards around him: "Follow us and take a look."
Luocheng is very old, but very clean.
People walking on the street are in high spirits even though they are wearing rags.
At this time, everyone was quietly gathering in front of one of the signboards, as if waiting for something.
About half an hour later, a guard holding a gong walked over quickly carrying a piece of paper.
I saw him first banging the gong twice in a decent manner, and then shouted loudly: "Three people over forty-five years old will be required to clean the drainage ditch, and they will receive five copper coins and two meals a day."
After hearing this, many people immediately raised their hands: "I will do it."
The guard counted the number of people: "There are two more."
Hearing this, the three younger ones immediately put down their hands: they were young and could still do other things, so let others do this non-dangerous job.
The guard nodded again: "One less person, which of the three of you will go?"
The three people who were called looked at each other, and then looked at the thinnest person: "Let him go!"
They still have some strength.
Seeing this harmonious scene, the steward said: "." Do the people in the North know how to be humble and courteous?
The guard also nodded with satisfaction: "There are many jobs, you can give priority to them later."
Uncle Changbei had some idea and took action directly to cure everyone.
Those people who love to argue and stir up people are hanging on the fence at Cai Shi Kou!
