farmer's husband

Chapter 497 Disagreement under the Prestige
"Hahaha!"

Hearing his cry, Boy Li and Girl Pan both laughed.

Chun Zhi also smiled, and quickly caught up with Chai Dong.Although Chaidong has done a lot of farm work in the past two years, his hands and feet are still not as agile as hers.So within a short while, she and Chai Dong were already advancing side by side.

Chai Dong turned to look at her. "How did you become so bad? You know how to bully boy Yan."

"Isn't this just for the big guys to have some fun? Otherwise, it's cold and tired early in the morning, and the more you work, the less energetic you will be." Chun Zhi whispered, "And boy Yan also needs to know that this matter is not because he resists it. It can be done. Therefore, it is better to wipe away the tears and snot as soon as possible, and finish the matter quickly."

"Your way of educating children is quite unique." Chai Dong said in a low voice, then continued to pick cotton with his head bowed.

In fact, their family only picked cotton for three mornings.Most of the remaining cotton is left to the long-term and short-term workers on the village to harvest.But these three days are enough for several children to remember.

After three days, they picked more than 100 catties of cotton, took advantage of the strong sun and wind to dry them in the past two days, and then spun them into threads and woven them into cloth as soon as possible.After weaving two pieces, Chunzhi touched them with her hands, and she was immediately overjoyed.

"The quality is not bad! It's better than the cotton we wove in Sanjiang Province before!"

Of course, it is incomparable with what was sent from Liangzhou.

Chai Dong also had a smile on his face. "So, the trial planting was successful?"

"Well, it worked!" Chun Zhi nodded hastily, "In this way, let them harvest more seeds this year, so that they can expand the scale and continue planting next year! Then, I will ask Chun Yu to use the money earned this year to buy more land."

"Okay." Chai Dong nodded immediately.

With this bundle of woven cloth, the family rushed back to the capital.

In the past few days since Chai Dong came out, he has a backlog of things on hand, so he is busy on his own.Chun Zhi dyed the cloth again, made several clothes first, and then sent them to the Queen Mother, and then made a set of clothes for Princess Qin, Concubine De and the two little princesses, and the two bolts of cloth were almost used up.

The Empress Dowager never wore clothes made outside, but Chun Zhi was an exception.After all, she has seen Chun Zhi's actions all these years, and she likes Chun Zhi, an honest child.Moreover, Chunzhi's embroidery is really good, and the stitches are very fine in making clothes.Although it is still a little worse than those maids who are good at sewing in her bedroom, but fortunately, she always makes a fuss about the style and pattern of the clothes, and the clothes that are sent every time are very suitable for her. Sincerely, she would dress Chun Zhi a few times to save face.

Not to mention Princess Qin.Yizhichun's business is good, which means she gets a lot of money, and she is also willing to promote Yizhichun.What's more, Chun Zhi always gave her the first batch of the best things first, which also gave her a face.As a reward, she naturally wanted to put on the clothes Chun Zhi sent to others as soon as possible.

As for Concubine De and the two little princesses... Not surprisingly, they only wore cloth items sent by Concubine Liang, and the clothes Chun Zhi sent were shelved by them.Chunzhi has long been used to it, so of course he doesn't care.

Anyway, it is enough to have Qin Wangfei and the Queen Mother to admire her face.

In this way, after the first wave passed, all the cotton in the village below was harvested, and the woven and dyed cloth was sent to the capital one after another.

The suburbs of Beijing are only forty or fifty miles away from the capital, and it can be delivered in one day.This greatly reduces the cost in all aspects, and also adds a lot of raw materials to the shop in time, so that customers can choose as much as they like whether they want to buy cloth or make clothes.The shop's business exploded in an instant.

It stands to reason that if we wait another month or two, Liangzhou will be able to send another batch of good cotton cloth when the first lunar month arrives, and Yizhichun will be able to take advantage of this New Year's Eve to make a fortune.But at this moment, there was a disagreement between Chun Zhi and Princess Qin.

"The business in the shop is very good now! Many sisters from my natal family have come to me to inquire, and want to make an appointment with the goods from Liangzhou. More than ten people have come to inquire from me alone. There must be more from yours. ?" On this day, Princess Qin called Chunzhi over and talked to her lazily.

Chunzhi nodded. "Indeed, there are a lot of them. The shop assistants are almost overwhelmed!"

"Well, it's a good thing to not be too busy, which means that there is money to be made. When I finish my work later, at best, I'll just pay them some more money for their hard work." Princess Qin said softly.

Chunzhi nodded. "I think so too."

Princess Qin nodded again. "By the way, since the shop's business is so good now, I see that you are also busy buying land. The newly purchased land is intended to be used to grow cotton?"

"Yes." Chunzhi nodded again.

"Then, why don't we continue to open a branch in the capital?" Princess Qin said immediately.

Chunzhi's heart sank immediately.

Concubine Qin called her here today, probably for this reason?
And... Let's, when did she take opening a branch shop as her task?There is absolutely a scam here.

"It's too early to open a branch shop. I haven't finished the Yizhichun I have now!" She politely refused.

"Isn't it because there are too few of you, and too few of you know this?" Qin Wangfei said, "It happens that I have a few good shopkeepers and buddies under my command, and I will let them know when the branch shop opens. Just go and take charge. You just provide patterns and fabrics, and you don’t need to intervene in the rest.”

This is really nice to say.But to put it bluntly, it's not like asking her to send all the ready-made raw materials over, and then they will sell them after simple processing, but all the rights of the shop are in their own hands.Then, they have the final say on how the business is going to be and how much profit they will make, and they have no right to intervene!
I'm afraid that when the time comes, Princess Qin will devote all her heart and energy to this branch, regardless of their current one, right?
She used this trick to kill the donkey really well.

"No." Chun Zhi immediately shook his head.

Princess Qin's face darkened. "Why can't it work? Your own ability is limited, and you can't open a branch store. You are not happy to have someone come to help you. What do you mean?"

"Princess, you are joking. It's not that I don't want you to send people to help me. If you want to send shopkeepers to the shop now, you can visit them at any time. But, as I said just now, Yizhichun in the capital is now It hasn't been completely done yet, so I won't open a branch shop until everything in Yizhichun is stabilized. After all, this shop is related to the voices of the Queen Mother, the Concubine De, and the Qin Palace. It's bad. Now my goal is to refine it first. As for making it bigger, that's a matter for the future." Chun Zhi said slowly.

"But didn't you see how many branch shops Yizhichun outside has opened? Their monthly surplus is already ten times that of Yizhichun in Beijing!" Princess Qin whispered.

So this is what she cares about?
Chun Zhi still shook his head. "Yizhichun in other places, except for Liangzhou, actually has nothing to do with us. They just want to make money, so of course they open one after another, but the quality is far from ours. Don't you know, princess, Now people outside are saying, "Go to Yizhichun to buy clothes, and go to the capital to buy high-quality goods"? This shows that people all over the world have recognized our quality and agreed that our price is higher than Yizhichun in other places. It is feasible to be high. Now that this reputation has been established, we must maintain it, and we must not let it fall."

"That's right, since the reputation has been established, shouldn't it be time to seize the opportunity to make money?" Qin Wangfei was so anxious that her face almost deformed.

Their shop can have a much higher reputation than those of the prince, of course they are happy to see it.However, they can't just want fame without money!I admit that the income of 300 taels a month is quite a lot, but it is still too far behind the prince's daily income!Just relying on this money, how many things has the prince done now?But what about them?What can you do with this little money in your hand?
Therefore, now they not only want to beat the prince in terms of reputation, but also catch up as soon as possible in terms of income!

They also need a lot of money to do things!

But no matter what she said, Harue just shook his head. "No, the time is not yet ripe."

"Then when will you be mature?" Princess Qin asked patiently.

"It will take another year or two." Chun Zhi said.

Another year or two?Now it's a month or two and she can't wait!
Princess Qin gritted her teeth. "I'll ask you again, do you agree to open a branch?"

"No. It can't be opened now." Chunzhi still shook his head.

"You!" Qin Wangfei slapped the desk with a touch, "Chai Gu, you really have hard wings, you don't even listen to me, do you? Okay, if you don't drive, then I will drive! I will drive by myself! "
