Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Eight: Return of Father and Son
After returning from Fengshan, Tian Minyan started to get busy again. She discussed an idea with Qi Shiqi and planned to cooperate with the Ministry of War of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to provide winter clothes for the army.
When she expressed her idea, Qi Shiqi said that there was really no business she didn't want to get involved in.
Tian Minyan smiled and said, now their Qianwei Mill is the first to spin cotton cloth. With such an advantage, why not do this business? When you want to do it in the future, you will have to compete.
Moreover, the cotton has been grown, so the military uniforms must be made. Now it has begun to snow in the north, and we are waiting for the cotton clothes to appear. Not only must they be made, but they must be made quickly.
Since ancient times, each department has a backend in charge. For example, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is controlled by Qi Shiqi, and the Ministry of Revenue is Prince Jing. There are many branches and leaves underneath. Otherwise, what is the meaning of pulling the whole body together?
A cake is too big for one person to eat or eat. Tian Minyan knows this very well. Therefore, the supply of military uniforms must cooperate and share the profits. As for how to divide it, it depends on the negotiation. She also
No hope
Taking it all and getting two cents of the profit is already very impressive. After all, the business is long-term.
Since Qi Shiqi is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it will be easy to handle. As for the Ministry of War, it is Prince Lao Rui who is in charge. It should be said that this Prince Lao Rui is the uncle of the emperor. He was also a royalist at the beginning, and he was not interested in the emperor.
Loyal. It's a pity that Prince Rui passed down the throne for several generations. His son died young, and now he only has a young prince who is thirteen or fourteen years old. He is like a golden bump. Who dares to touch a hair without tearing out the bones?
This young prince is raised like a little bully and is quite a troublesome figure in the capital.
However, these are not what she cares about. As long as the contract is well-written and well-organized, she can make money, and the cooperation is pleasant, who cares if your son has a domineering temper? Moreover, he has the capital to be arrogant!
With Qi Shiqi pulling the strings, and the emperor behind it, and it was really an urgent matter, Prince Rui didn't hesitate to do anything, and quickly agreed to cooperate, and Kyoto soon started to take action.
This cotton is a fresh product. Although it is grown in various places, it is only grown in the first year. The required amount is temporarily unavailable, so it is naturally expensive. The best cotton actually costs a hundred cents a pound, which is several times more expensive than pork.
.
Tian Minyan was the first to test planting, and everyone in Yangmei Village saw it. During the implementation, they all received cotton seeds for planting. Tian Minyan's own land was planted with all the land that can grow cotton. Qingzhou's 10,000 acres
When the wasteland is opened, we will plant some soybeans as green manure this year, and we will start planting cotton next year. Think about it, how spectacular it would be if we planted it.
Even so, the amount of cotton harvested from other places is also quite considerable. With this big acquisition, we have also made a lot of profits. Together with Tian Minyan and his family, they have also made a lot of money.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and when the last leaf falls, today's Wanshou Festival is getting closer and closer.
Tian Minyan is busy every day. After finalizing the cotton workshop, she prepares to plant vegetables in the greenhouse and buys the seeds.
Planting vegetables in winter makes the servants in the mansion very curious. Can this eldest lady really grow fresh leafy vegetables in the cold weather? Moreover, looking at the seeds, many of them are out-of-season vegetables.
On this day, Tian Minyan ordered his servants to plow the ground again, apply base fertilizer, and organized people to set up a shed and cover it with the torn-off film, preparing to plant the seeds in two days.
"Miss, the master and the eldest young master are back." Hongye Xing hurried to the vegetable garden and shouted.
Tian Minyan was having people pull the film. When she heard this, she was very happy and asked quickly: "Is it true?"
"It's true, I've already entered the second gate."
Tian Minyan immediately put down the things in her hands and went to the inner house. After taking two steps, she turned around and said to the servants who were tidying up the vegetable garden: "Put this film on and make it tight again. It's windy today, so don't put it on."
Blown."
"Yes, Miss."
Tian Minyan explained a few words and then left in a hurry. She went back to her yard to wash up and change clothes, and then went to the main courtyard. As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, she heard Luo Shi's laughter.
She also raised the corners of her mouth and walked quickly. When a maid saw her coming, she opened the curtain and said, "The eldest lady is here."
The conversation inside stopped. Tian Minyan walked in and saw Tian Huairen sitting at the top, while Tian Minrui stood beside Luo Shi, his hand still being held by her.
"Dad, brother, you are back." Tian Minyan stepped forward with a smile. When she was almost in front of Tian Huairen, she stopped again, curtsied and saluted: "Daughter, please say hello to your father."
"Well, get up, let's not be too polite." Tian Huairen smiled and raised his hand.
Tian Minyan stood up and took a closer look. Perhaps because of the rush, Tian Huairen had a weathered look on his face. He was a little thinner and a little haggard, but he was in good spirits.
Looking at Tian Minrui again, he is wearing a sapphire blue embroidered asparagus robe, with an auspicious cloud jade pendant on his waist. His dark hair is pinned with a white jade hairpin, and he has a pair of black satin boots on his feet. He has a slim and slender figure, a calm face, and a slight smile on his face.
Qian, vaguely looks like a scholar, but after not seeing him for three months, he has actually grown a lot taller.
Tian Minyan was very jealous. Do men grow up faster? She walked up to Tian Minrui and said with a smile: "Brother, congratulations on your being a scholar. Now you are also a famous person!"
Tian Minrui smiled slightly and said, "Thank you so much, nannan."
"Look at you two brothers and sisters. We haven't seen each other for several months and you are still strangers to each other." Luo Shi looked at the pair of children angrily and said.
Tian Minyan chuckled and said, "Mom, my brother's whole person has changed so much. He's so handsome that I don't even dare to recognize him. Moreover, he's actually much taller than me."
When Tian Minrui saw her pouting, the corners of her lips curved up, and she said with a smile: "My daughter has become more beautiful, and she looks more like Mr. Huimin County!"
"Yeah, you guys even complimented each other."
The two siblings looked at each other and smiled. They have grown up, but what remains unchanged is the friendship between brothers and sisters.
"Mom, please sort out the earthenware rituals that dad and I brought back. Some of them were given by the villagers, and my aunt also gave a lot of them." After laughing, Tian Minrui said again: "Nanny, I also brought you a little one.
The gift will be brought to you later."
"Brother, dad, how are things going at the old house? Are uncle and the others okay? Are my aunt and the others in good health?" Tian Minyan thanked them cheerfully, and then asked them about the situation at Yangmei Village.
Tian Huairen was drinking tea. He paused when he heard this and looked a little depressed. Looking at Tian Minrui again, he was very calm. However, the corners of his mouth were raised coldly, and Tian Minyan raised her eyebrows.
"Why are you talking about this? Your father and brother have just come back. They have been tired from traveling all the way. Let's go and rest first. We will talk about it later in the evening." Luo Shi saw that the faces of the father and son were not right, so he hurriedly left.
"Yes, I didn't think about it. Daddy, you go and have a rest." Tian Minyan patted her head in frustration.
