wind and rain scissors shop

Chapter 75-75.
Tian Erya said cautiously: "My lord, we can provide two kinds of scissors."

Zhou Changkui couldn't wait to ask: "Which two kinds?"

"One is the large scissors forged by folk girls. These scissors can cut through more than a dozen layers of cloth soaked in oil and frozen. The blades are very sharp. They can be used to cut thick materials such as felt cloth and thick sheepskin. The applicable environment less, the number can be reduced to [-].”

Zhou Changkui was thoughtful.

Tian Erya saw that he had no objection, and continued: "The other is the daily household scissors forged by the Zheng family. The scissors forged by the Zheng family are of good quality, but the scissors head is half an inch short of the material. If you make up the half inch , unifying the blades can meet the needs of soldiers and people in the northwest region. The number can be [-]."

Zheng Zongde couldn't help but said: "Even so, the cost of forging scissors still exceeds the silver given by the Armed Forces Academy. It's just that the cost of the big scissors you made is too high."

Tian Erya proposed a plan: "The five sword shops can purchase fuel, grindstone bricks and other basic supplies for forging scissors in a unified manner. The unified purchase can have room for bargaining and reduce the cost of raw materials. With tax support and everyone working together, we should be able to complete the task without losing money."

Kang Zhixian snorted: "Which shop is willing to work hard for a business that doesn't lose or make money? You country woman doesn't know how to pretend to understand. You are talking nonsense."

Tian Erya lowered her head, her face flushed red: "I just want to complete the mission of the Armed Forces Institute this year and save everyone's life."

Zhou Changkui bowed and asked Tong Bat for instructions: "Master Zhifu, can we allow the Armed Forces Institute to discuss it before making a conclusion."

Tombat waved his hand.Zhou Changkui went backstage and whispered to his colleagues in the Armed Forces Academy.

Tian Erya was apprehensive and turned her head to stand under the stage.

Zheng Yuansheng in the audience clenched his fists and gave her a cheering gesture.

Wu Xiangrong followed Tian Erya's gaze, and when he saw Zheng Yuansheng, he narrowed his eyes slightly.The relationship between these two people is not like strangers.It's not like Zheng Yuansheng and Tian Erya fell in love without waiting for his sister to come back.In case my younger sister escapes from marriage and fails to find a husband, if she finds Zheng Yuansheng to continue her relationship, her hopes will be in vain.

After a while, Zhou Changkui came out, bowed and said to Tong Bat: "I will inform the lord of the mansion that we will discuss it properly and agree with Tian Erya's strategy to make [-] large scissors and [-] ordinary scissors. But, this time How much and how you pay for scissors is different than it used to be."

Tong Bat was curious: "What's the difference?"

Zhou Changkui is confident: "The Armed Forces Institute will purchase raw materials uniformly, and send them to the sword shops according to their share. Each sword shop will deliver the finished products to the Armed Forces Institute. After the Armed Arms Institute passes the inspection, they will pay them processing fees."

Tong Ba Te nodded: "This is very good. The Armed Forces Institute controls the quality and cost of incoming materials, and each sword shop provides technology, earns processing fees, and works for the court, complementing each other."

"We negotiated that Tian Erya would be the manager, responsible for all matters related to the forging of these scissors in each sword shop. Before handing over [-] qualified scissors, each sword shop will be under her command."

Just as Tian Erya breathed a sigh of relief, hearing this remark was like a thunderbolt, she pointed at herself in disbelief: "My lord, I'm just a country girl."

Zhou Changkui said with a straight face: "You know the technique of forging scissors, and you are willing to use your brain. It is perfect for you to be the manager and control the forging of scissors."

Tian Erya was so frightened that tears were about to burst out: "I have never directed others."

Zhou Zhangkui snapped: "Are you an official bargaining with you? I said before that if you don't accept this job, these bosses will be executed together."

Tian Erya was like a discouraged ball: "My lord, you didn't ask me to be the conductor just now. I thought I was just working with them."

Zhou Changkui ignored it, and said to Tong Bat: "My lord, the Armed Forces Academy confiscated equipment across the level area, and it is very difficult to coordinate the affairs of the various yamen gates in the middle. Please send us a talented person to support us in advancing the errand. "

Tong Ba Te nodded and pointed at Wu Xiangrong: "He is here to cooperate with you, and you can report to him if you have anything."

"Thank you, Lord Prefect."

Tongbat glanced at the audience: "Everyone, do you have any objections?"

Kangzhi County stood up: "My lord, the officials think that it is inappropriate for Tian Erya to lead the forging of scissors. She is a country girl who has never managed a store, let alone received an imperial envoy, and does not know the way inside. This official thinks that , it should be replaced by a highly respected and knowledgeable sword shop owner who is in charge of this matter."

The bosses of the five sword shops headed by Zheng Zongde also looked at Tian Erya with dissatisfaction.

Tian Erya didn't care what other people thought of her, secretly pleased, it's best not to let her be the manager, and push this job out.

Zhou Changkui looked at the expressions of all the bosses, and looked at Kang Zhixian: "Which boss does Mr. Kang think can take on this job?"

"Of course it's Longshun and Zheng Zongde, the owner of the sword shop." He figured that if the Zheng family was in charge of this matter, he would definitely be able to take a cut of the processing fees of several sword shops.If you hand it over to Tian Erya, seeing how stubborn that girl is, she definitely won't hand over any benefits.

Zhou Changkui looked at Zheng Zongde: "Accordingly, your Zheng family has been running Longshun and Sword Shop for many years, you know how to forge iron, and you know the way inside. I should entrust this job to you."

Zheng Zongde felt terrified when he heard it, for fear that he would have a big reversal.Sure enough, what Zhou Changkui said next was asking him to blame.

"I would like to ask you, your Zheng family has forged scissors for generations, why did the scissors you forged lack half an inch of sharp edge material? Could it be that you deliberately didn't make the scissors strong so that everyone would come to your shop frequently buy new scissors here? Earn black money?"

Zheng Zongde, Zheng Yuanxin, Zheng Yuanli and his son were scared out of their wits, and quickly kowtowed: "My lord, villains must never dare."

Zhou Changkui's tone was gloomy: "The scissors made by generations of your Zheng family are not as high-quality as the scissors made by a teenage country girl. Who are you lying to? You also have to do the same for forging half-inch blades of scissors. Articles, cutting corners and fooling the imperial court, can be punished."

Zheng Zongde and the others were frightened and kowtowed.The bosses of other sword shops lowered their heads, fearing that they would get caught in the fire and be punished by the government.

Zheng Yuansheng's heart sank. When Tian Erya presented the scissors, he was also worried about the arrival of this question. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou asked it. His brain was spinning rapidly, thinking about how to answer this question.

Unexpectedly, Tian Erya said: "My lord, the satin scissors made by the Zheng family for generations are not fake, but since their Longshun and business grew, the young masters of the Zheng family are busy studying and taking care of family affairs, and seldom go to school again. Do the ascetic work of blacksmithing yourself."

Zhou Changkui nodded: "What you said makes some sense, but no matter how little time they have for blacksmithing, they won't lag behind you, a country girl, in their skills."
