Huo Xi was a little surprised. The young master hadn't appeared for almost a month. He thought he had gone to the north of the Great Wall.
"I thought you went out with the army."
After saying that, Mu Yan didn't speak, only stared at Ta Yue behind her, and also turned to look at Ta Yue.
Tayue glanced at her and stayed outside the door. Standing at the door, he breathed a sigh of relief. This young master of the Mu family had such a strong aura that no one dared to look at him.
"Why haven't you returned to Jiangnan yet?"
Well……
"I'll be back after I've arranged everything."
"when?"
Uh, what kind of tone is this? You have no control over your own head? Are you stepping on his tail?
Huo Xi frowned and said nothing.
Mu Yan glanced at her and pursed his lips.
His tone softened, "In a few days, I will accompany the emperor to Mobei. Everyone from the capital will follow the emperor to the north. I am afraid that Beiping City will not be peaceful. Arrange things in the past two days and go back early."
"But I still have a lot of things to do."
"Those people are raised for free food?" Mu Yan was retorted by her, her tone was a little harsh.
Huo Xi pursed her lips.
Seeing her stubborn look, Mu Yan's veins jumped on his forehead and he put his hand on his forehead.
Thinking that he would still take 20% of her sex, he sighed.
He looked at her and said, "I'll leave a few people for you. They will help you with the construction of Waste Street and Zhuangzi. Including the construction of Tianjin Wharf, they will help you recruit people to speed up the process."
Huo Xi raised her eyes and looked at him. This guy knew a lot. Did he dig up all his wealth?
"That's it, I'll let them find Zhuji. You need to leave before the army leaves the city the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Mu Yan finished speaking calmly, raised his long legs and walked out.
Huo Xi stared blankly at his retreating back, feeling dazed for a while. What did this guy do here? Come to make ideas for her? Come to take charge of her house?
I grinded my teeth. I didn't dare not listen. If I offended Jin Thigh, things would go wrong. I asked someone to call Qiu Dazhuang and ask him to inform Zhu Ji to come over.
After a while, Zhu Ji ran over wheezing.
Huo Xi and he stayed in the room to discuss various matters in Beiping City.
Hearing that the young master of the Mu family would send someone to help, Zhu Ji breathed a long sigh of relief. These days, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water and hit the back of his head with his foot.
Merchants like Guangfeng Shui have a low status. It is not easy to do anything in Beiping City, and it is not easy to use any benefits. If someone from the Xiping Marquis Mansion helps, it will be twice the result with half the effort.
"Okay, my subordinates, please cooperate with them more." He was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes.
Huo Xi glanced at him with disgust, "As for the matter, we still need to make a decision. If there is anything unresolved or something that needs to be mediated with the officials, you can let the people from the Mu family do it. After all, their status is It’s more convenient than us.”
"yes."
After answering all the letters, he thought about the drawings that Huo Xi later changed, and hesitated: "My boss, do we really want to build such a big perfume store? Is it too big?"
Huo Xi shook his head, "It's not big, just build it according to what I drew on the drawing."
At first she only wanted to open one, but then she thought that a public store like that would be very popular, but the business strategy was to make small profits but quick turnover, so people with status and money might not go there often.
It is still necessary to open a boutique store with several small courtyards divided into several different elegant rooms to attract wealthy and prestigious people to spend money, so as to increase the overall profit of the perfume store.
Emperor Yongkang led so many troops this time and personally went to Mobei, so a great victory was certain.
With the emperor's victory, next year, the number of people moving north will only increase.
When there are more people, more and more fortifications will be built. If there are more fortifications built, and more people can get monthly money, they will want to consume. When there are more people, there will be a desire to consume, and there will be a market, and businessmen will
There will also be more and more merchants.
Then there will be people staying at her inn, and people at the perfume shop will also go in and spend money.
There is not even a decent perfume shop in the entire city of Beiping. Once her perfume shop opens, it will definitely be a hit.
It is inevitable to attract people to follow the trend, so we must build the ceiling level from the beginning and build the brand and reputation. No matter how well we follow the trend in the future, as long as everyone thinks of the old perfume shop, they will think of Guangfeng Water.
Once a brand is established, there is no need to worry about others catching up later.
Besides, she still has nearly half of the 100,000 taels of silver she brought. She worked hard and made money.
If the boss is not short of money, things will naturally be easier to handle.
After discussing with Huo Xi, Zhu Ji ran away without stopping. Together with several stewards of the Mu Mansion, the two families flourished and built a street of accommodation, food and entertainment.
As for Jifengshi, people came to seek refuge almost every day, and he and Qiu Dazhuang were equally busy without touching the ground.
Chu Yi and You Qing also stayed with their father to help with some small tasks. Huo Xi did not restrain them.
That evening, two children ran to her in a hurry.
"What's going on? Aren't you having fun running outside with your dad?" He looked like he had been beaten by frost.
"Are you tired? Just rest at home." The two children were only seven or eight years old. No matter how short of people Huo Xi was, he never thought of enslaving two child laborers.
Youqing shook his head: "We are not tired, it is the first year of junior high school. The uncle and aunt who sold the first year of junior high school are here. He is not happy."
"Ah? How dare your uncle and aunt come to join you on the first day of the new year?" Huo Xi was a little surprised, how shameless this person is.
At first, he used the opportunity of his grandmother's death in the first year of junior high school to deceive the first year of junior high school, saying that he would be sent to learn a trade. In fact, he was sold to his husband for a large price, and he was purified and sent to the palace.
Now you have the nerve to come and join their father and son?
Chu Yi had an angry look on his face: "They are so shameless! I heard that people in the village were coming to seek refuge with my father, so I packed up my things and my whole family came to seek refuge. They cried and made trouble in front of my father, and said that they had also been deceived.
Yes, they wanted to send me to learn a trade, they didn’t want to sell me into the palace."
"Does your father believe it?"
If Fengshi is a soft-spoken person this season, I can't leave a lot of personnel arrangements to him.
Chu Yi shook his head: "My father didn't believe it. But my father told me that the only uncles left in our family were brothers with broken bones and connected tendons. He couldn't bear to drive them away. Moreover, the cousins were still young.
, my father even cried when he saw that they were so hungry that they could not walk."
Huo Xi sighed.
They are all poor and noisy.
But it is better to be sold to a wealthy family as a servant, even if it is a death contract, than to be sold to be purified and sent to the palace. After purifying one's body, one does not think that his brother's family will be extinct? This nature is a bit evil.
Huo Xi summoned Ji Fengshi and asked him about it.
"I hate them. Although my family is in trouble, it's not that I haven't sent money to my family. Almost all the wages I earned in Peking have been sent home. How much can I eat if I am so young in the first year of junior high school? Where can I sell it? I have to sell it to my family.
Sell it to a place like that. When you die, I won't even be able to see your body."
Ji Fengshi looked miserable.
"Then you drove people away?"
Ji Fengshi looked troubled: "The two younger brothers and sisters in the first year of junior high school are really pitiful. I'm worried that the two will sell them. My mother likes these three grandchildren very much. They are the blood of my Ji family."
After speaking, he gritted his teeth and squatted down in front of Huo Xi, holding his head with a look of pain on his face.
He didn't want to forgive them. If he had not met his master when he escaped in the first year of junior high school, there would be no chance for the father and son to meet now.
He didn't want to care about them, but his two nieces and nephews were really pitiful.
