Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 385 Talking to Zheng Liuer
In the almshouse, some were washing the wool, some were drying the wool, some were dyeing the wool, some were threading the wool, and some were knitting.

Wang Ping'an was very pleased to see the busy people. They rely on their own labor to create a bright future, which deserves his respect. He also found that everyone, including the elderly and children, was busy in the poorhouse, except for those young and middle-aged people.

Because the Chinese New Year is coming, they have to allocate a part of the elderly and children to deal with the New Year's goods, paste red paper, etc., making the poorhouse have a Chinese New Year atmosphere.

In addition, another 20 catties of wool were transported a few days ago, so the place has been very busy in the past few days, and they wished that one person could be divided into two people.

"Zhao Hao go and find out, where is Zheng Liu'er?" Wang Ping'an ordered.

"Yes, sir."

Zhao Hao ran to an old man who was dealing with new year's goods, and asked politely, "Old man, where is Miss Zheng Liu'er?"

The old man raised his head suspiciously when he heard the words, and when he saw that the person who came was Wang Ping'an's guard, he quickly stood up and said, "Returning to my lord, Liu Er is discussing things with Mr. Cao in the dean's room."

"Thank you, old man." Zhao Hao said his thanks and went to report to Wang Ping'an: "Master, Miss Liu'er is currently discussing matters with Mr. Cao in the dean's room."

"Then you go to the dean's office and call Zheng Liuer to the weaving room. By the way, how many sweaters have been knitted recently?" Pingan finished his instructions and walked slowly to the weaving room.

"Yes, sir."

After a while, Zheng Liuer rushed over, followed by Zhao Hao.

"Master, you are finally here. Recently, everyone has been talking about you every day." Zheng Liuer said.

Wang Ping'an couldn't help frowning, and asked in confusion, "Why did Liu'er come back so soon? I remember that the dean's room is a long way from the weaving room."

"Returning to the young master, the villain met Miss Liu'er on the way." Zhao Hao stepped forward and said first.

"En." Wang Ping'an nodded slightly and said, "Did Liu'er encounter any trouble?"

Zheng Liu'er replied: "I didn't encounter any trouble, but I found that the wool spinning workshop is not enough manpower, and I want to recruit some manpower, but here is an official place, without Mr. Cao nodding, we can't recruit people at will."

"That's true, but don't worry about this matter for the time being, I will arrange it. There are only two days before the Chinese New Year, and there must be many people who are homesick. You count who plan to go back to their hometown, and I will give it to you, young master. Those who want to stay here will clean up the place tomorrow, and noble people will arrive tomorrow."

"Master, don't worry, everyone has already discussed that no one is willing to leave. There are not only delicious food and drinks, but also wages. The work is easy. Master, you often bring people to give everyone some ordinary things. We couldn't eat anything, so everyone decided not to leave, and they all wanted to follow you."

"It's okay if you don't leave, then stay here and continue to be in charge of the wool here. If you have anything to do, you can go to me." Wang Pingan said.

"Okay." Zheng Liuer finished.Suddenly thought of an important thing, and said again: "Young master, there are many children in the poorhouse, they hope that the young master can introduce a good academy so that those children can go to school and learn to read."

"It's a small matter. Just count how many children there are. I'll ask Mr. Private School to teach them how to read characters and learn martial arts." Wang Pingan said.

"That's great, everyone will be very happy when they hear it. Liu Er thanked the young master on behalf of everyone." Zheng Liuer jumped up happily.

Wang Pingan waved his hands and said with a smile: "You're welcome, my young master has always been very generous to his own people. By the way, how many sets of finished sweaters are there now?"

Zheng Liuer's eyes were a little gloomy, and she replied: "Master, there are currently 220 sets of sweaters, and there should be about [-] sets that can be completed today."

"Why so slow?" Wang Ping'an lowered his head and pondered.

"Young master, please don't blame everyone. We are all newbies. Many people don't know the size of the sweater when they first knit. They often need to dismantle and re-knit halfway through knitting. Some of them find a large gap in the middle after knitting. Wait, there are many mistakes in weaving anyway." Zheng Liuer explained.

Wang Pingan nodded and said: "So that's the case, Liu'er, let me ask you, what is the biggest difficulty you encountered in the whole process now! Is there any room for improvement?"

Zheng Liuer fell into deep thought and wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start, she seemed hesitant to speak.

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "If there is any problem, you can just say it. If the task of weaving wool into sweaters is entrusted to you, then you have to develop your thinking and make it bigger, instead of just doing what I say. In this way, you can only You will be unable to make progress, but you must know that there is no limit to learning."

After hearing Wang Ping'an's words, Zheng Liu'er suddenly became enlightened, as if the future was bright, and said with a smile: "Young master is very right, it's all because Liu'er was looking forward and backward, which caused the knitting speed to be very slow."

"Hehe... Then do you already have an idea in your heart?" Wang Pingan said with a smile.

"Yes, young master, you think, since everyone knits sweaters at different speeds, why don't we let those who knit fast teach you how to knit sweaters quickly and well."

"Good idea, Liu Er, your idea is very good, young master, I only have two goals today, and that is to hold a training class to teach everyone how to knit sweaters.

There is also a need to change the weaving process at the beginning, not everyone can knit scarves, gloves, etc. after knitting sweaters and trousers.Group everyone into a top group, pants group, glove group, scarf group, etc. "Wang Pingan said solemnly.

Zheng Liu'er said: "Young master, wouldn't all the finished products be messed up like this, so that they can't be matched?"

"What does that matter? Regardless of gloves, gloves or scarves, if there are surplus finished products sold in the store, there will be not enough to sell." Wang Pingan said.His eyes were shining brightly, as if he saw gold ingots entering his pockets one by one.

Zheng Liu'er also felt that this was indeed the case, as long as it was made of wool, whether it was clothes or gloves, it would be welcomed and loved by the people.

"Young master, you just said that there are two purposes. You have already mentioned one of them, but what about the other?"

"There is one more thing that I said at the beginning, tomorrow there will be a nobleman coming to the almshouse." Wang Ping'an said.

"What nobleman?" Zheng Liu'er was aroused with curiosity, but soon she realized: "Could it be that the empress is coming?"

Wang Pingan pretended to be profound and shook his head and said: "The secret of what you have done must not be revealed, must not be revealed, must not be revealed."

"Young Master, you don't have to be full of Liu'er anymore, the noble person who will come tomorrow must be the empress." Zheng Liu'er said with certainty.

"You're so sure!" Wang Pingan said.

"Definitely, definitely and definitely." Zheng Liuer said very imposingly.

Wang Pingan gave a wry smile and said, "Well, there is indeed the Empress Dowager who will come tomorrow, but His Majesty will also come if it is not guaranteed.

Tomorrow the empress will come here to inspect your whole process of making wool into sweaters. This is related to future national policies.So you will explain the whole process to those noble people tomorrow. "

"Ah! His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress are coming. We are in such a mess here, what should we do? What do you think, young master? And me, can I do it? I'm afraid I will lose face when the time comes." Zheng Liuer panicked Said.

When she heard Wang Ping'an said that an adult was coming, she already guessed that the empress queen was coming, and after confirming it from Wang Ping'an's mouth, she was even more flustered. If poor people like her want to see the queen, they can only look up from afar. It was impossible to approach at close range, so she was nervous, flustered, and at the same time excited inexplicably.

Now, Wang Pingan said with a smile: "Don't be so flustered, just treat your majesty and the queen as a big sister and big brother next door. You must know that everyone understands that our queen is a gentle, virtuous and good queen. As for your majesty, He is also very diligent and caring for the people, so don't worry.

Also, I like you very much. "

"Yes, what the young master said is very true. The queen is indeed a gentle and virtuous queen, and your majesty is a good emperor, but Liu'er is still very nervous. Young master, Liu'er should not appear in the almshouse tomorrow, so as not to disturb the empress. "Zheng Liuer said in a panic.

"It's okay, don't think too much, now, except for the sweater knitters, the rest of you put down your work and tidy up the poorhouse for a day. Be sure to clean the inside and outside of the poorhouse, and You should also dress cleanly." Wang Pingan instructed.

"Yes, sir."

Just as Zheng Liuer was about to turn around and leave, she saw Cao Ren rushing towards her.

As soon as he entered the weaving room, he cupped his hands to Wang Ping'an and said, "Cao Ren has seen General Wang."

"Master Cao came rushing over, he must have something important to do." Wang Ping'an also clasped his fists in return.

"Yes, Lord Changsun, Lord Du, and Lord Fang are all here," Cao Ren said.

"Oh, so where are they now?" Wang Pingan didn't expect Changsun Wuji and others to find this place, so he asked immediately.

Cao Ren replied, "They are all waiting for General Wang in the lower official's office."

"Okay, I see, I'll go with you later, and arrange things here first." Wang Pingan continued to Zhao Hao and Zheng Liuer: "Liuer, get up and organize everyone to clean up the almshouse, Zhao Hao, you Go and ask those officials who are idle and have nothing to do to cooperate with Liu Er to clean the poorhouse."

"Lord Cao, you have something to do. Your Majesty and Your Majesty are coming tomorrow, so you are in charge of guarding the poorhouse. You have to carefully check the poorhouse inside and out. See if there is anything that needs to be strictly guarded against."

After Wang Ping'an finished speaking, he left Cao Ren standing there with a dazed face, and walked briskly to the dean's room.
