Chapter 507 Changes
While Zhang Xingyi was feeling angry, Li Muzheng, who was also in Nanxiang City, was carefully reviewing last month's account books.
Axiang, who had been following her, has been released and became the chief steward of Nanzheng Workshop.
Li Mu also selected six more clever and good women from the workshop and school as female apprentices, keeping them by his side to be dispatched.
As Nanxiang grew larger and larger, the workshop had more and more connections with the outside world, and Li Mu had to deal with more and more things.
So she needs to train a few more deputies.
At this time, I saw a maid coming from below to report, "Madam, Li Langjun has brought someone here, saying that he wants to see Madam."
Li Mu didn’t even raise his head and asked, “Who did he bring?”
“Say they are from Jincheng.”
“Then let them wait until I finish handling these matters.”
)
The maid quietly retreated.
Axiang’s external release, as well as a group of stewards from the Nanzheng workshop coming to learn from the experience of the Nanxiang workshop, and helping the Nanzheng workshop get on the right track, etc. In the end, these things will all be detailed through Li Mulai operate.
So Feng Yong wrote a letter to Li Mu personally. In the letter, he not only explained the reasons, but also mentioned that the prime minister intended to let her become the manager of Nanzheng Workshop.
Someone even shamelessly claimed credit for not agreeing on the spot, saying that he wanted to take her wishes into consideration, and finally asked her hypocritically if she was willing. If she was not willing, then let Axiang go to Yujun.
Li Mu naturally did not want to go to Nanzheng.
First, she has a psychological shadow on the Han Dynasty Prime Minister.
Second, I was moved that Feng Langjun valued himself so much.
As for the third place, Li Mu naturally knows it best. She is the biggest in Nanxiang Workshop, and she can make the final decision on all matters in the workshop.
But when he arrived at the workshop in Nanzheng, he was named the chief steward, but he was definitely not as comfortable as he is now. Not to mention the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, even the prefect Ma would always be watching.
Moreover, although Nanzheng is called the Hanzhong Administrative Office, how can it be as prosperous as Nanxiang?
After this incident, Li Mu felt that Feng Langjun really regarded him as a confidant. Otherwise, why would he reject the prime minister for his own sake?
The family treats her as a commodity, and Feng Langjun treats her as a confidant. It is self-evident how to choose.
So now she has decided to follow Feng Langjun wholeheartedly. If someone comes from the family, she has to wait until she has finished handling the matters at hand.
"Go and tell Wang Mazi in the west outside the city that his hemp ropes and sacks are good. The workshop will get more goods from him next month, so that he can prepare them early."
Li Mu finally finished reading the report, raised his head and pointed at a female apprentice underneath and said.
)
The woman who was called quickly nodded in agreement and ran out.
"You, go and tell He Liu in the south that his family's grain was moldy last month. In addition to making up for it this month, there will be an additional compensation. The grain collected from his family will be halved. Tell him , if you don’t want to provide food to the workshop, get out of here right now, there are many people waiting behind you!”
"you go…"
Mother Mu handles affairs very neatly and neatly, without any delay. She is fair in dealing with things, and rewards for meritorious deeds and punishment for transgressions.
None of the women who were named dared to stop and ran back and forth to deliver Li Mu's orders.
Mrs. Mu has always been fierce, but although the women around her are afraid of her authority, they are still gritting their teeth and studying hard without complaining.
Even a lady like Ah Xiang can become the chief manager of Nanzheng Workshop. If she really puts herself forward and learns from it, is she afraid that she won’t be able to compete with her?
“Four ladies, four ladies, please spare me this time! He Liu knows it’s wrong, knows it’s wrong, and I don’t dare to do it again! Please go back and say a kind word to Mrs. Mu...”
He Liuyi, who sold the moldy grain, was so frightened that he lost his soul when he heard what Li Mu said. He didn't care about the people coming and going on the street, so he begged directly.
In this year, the eight-niu plow and the curved-shaft plow began to show its real power.
In other words, Hanzhong's grain production has just started to increase in the past two years, and the Hanzhong Prefecture has to collect grain and store grain. In addition, Nanxiang is a large grain consumer, so the price of grain in Hanzhong cannot be suppressed.
If you don’t believe it, look at Jincheng, especially after the pacification of Nanzhong, the price of food almost hit the ground with a bang.
He Liuben is a side branch of the He family. He took the path of He Wang and got the job of supplying food to the workshop. If he really wanted to be cut off from this path, He Wang would be able to smoke him on the spot if he turned around. Kill him.
With the grain's grain'slittle money earned, but the share of woolen cloth exchanged for the grain is not a tiny bit of money.
Although there are only more than 30,000 people who have settled in Nanxiang, in fact, the number of people who have been traveling to Nanxiang for a long time is not 60,000 or 70,000, but only 50,000 or 60,000.
The scariest thing is that this number is growing every day.
Even Ma Su, the governor of Hanzhong, didn’t know how many people relied on Nanxiang for their livelihood.
Just the hemp rope sacks used in the workshops, ranches and mines are not a small amount every day.
The Zhang family’s income from growing mulberry and hemp in Nanxiang is much greater than that of their property in Jincheng.
In addition to Zhang Xingyi wanting to go out and relax, the Zhang family's property in Nanxiang is expanding day by day, which is one of the reasons why the Zhang family agreed to let her come over.
Moreover, the Zhang family alone cannot supply this mulberry and hemp.
Now, due to the insufficient supply of hemp in Hanzhong, the price of hemp in Jincheng has also begun to rise.
This is also the reason why the aristocratic families in Shu are so easy to talk to now.
Borrow some money to dig copper mines?
Borrow, borrow, borrow!
Borrow some money to open a racecourse?
Give, give, give!
Prime Minister, we sincerely support the Han Dynasty. We responded to the court’s call and released the Guizhou capitals in the manor...
It's a pity that the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty is sneering: Is the eight-oxen plow easy to cut? If they are not released, will they be raised as ancestors in vain?
The rapid development of productivity forced the wealthy families in central Sichuan to adjust production relations and loosen the ropes that tightly bound Guizhou.
If you don’t obey me, you will really have to watch others eat meat while you stare and swallow.
So what Li Mu said was not a big lie, but the truth. If He Liu didn't want to do it, there would be a lot of people waiting in line to do it.
He Liuyi started to break into a cold sweat when he heard that Li Mu wanted to replace him, "It was just a villain's carelessness. It was really not intentional."
"Good words?" Si Niangzi, who dared not say a word in front of Li Mu, raised her head high at this time, "He Liu, do you think Mrs. Mu is someone who can speak kindly?"
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare, Mrs. Mu is the one who values the rules the most…”
Cold sweat was already dripping from He Liu's forehead.
"Don't think that I don't know what you think in private because of your connections with the He family."
The fourth lady sneered, "Since you know that Madam Mu values the rules the most, you should know how to do it. The contract made at the beginning was clearly written, so follow the rules!"
"understand!"
He Liu wiped his forehead and said repeatedly, "Tomorrow, I will make up the difference and compensation immediately. I will never miss a grain of food."
“That’s pretty much it.”
The fourth lady received the assurance in front of everyone, and then turned around and left.
“How can a maid under Mu Niang have such an imposing manner?”
Zhang Xingyi's eyes widened, taking in the scene just now. How powerful must this Madam Mu be in Nanxiang?
Then she felt a little envious in her heart: This Nanxiang woman turned out to be the master of her own house, as rumored, and lived a free and easy life!
Thinking like this, some unknown idea is quietly growing...
