The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"All obey the orders of the young general."

Everyone bowed their heads.

They already understood the young general's intention, and wanted to build a workshop in the farm of Duke Changguo outside the city.

The farm of Duke Changguo outside the city was just a military settlement built by the general outside the city.

Some of the relatives of the Cavalry Guard were usually arranged here.

This is not only a military settlement, but also a place for the soldiers of the Cavalry Guard to live when they rest.

There are five or six farms like this in the Cavalry Guard in various parts of the Great Kang Empire.

Most of them are scattered in the border defense areas of the north.

These disabled craftsmen are just because they can't help in the farm.

Duan Ning was afraid that their self-esteem would be hurt, so he specially arranged them to work in the workshop in the city.

Now, Duan Chun plans to build his first industry in his father's territory outside the city.

It took an hour to explain all the situations to the craftsmen.

Especially the messenger named Liu Dafu who was missing both arms.

"This is a pawn ticket of the Ministry of Revenue for 100 taels."

"Take it and buy any supplies and materials you need."

"Try to build the first batch of workshops in the farm as soon as possible."

"I will go to the farm as soon as I finish my work in the imperial city."

Duan Chun handed a silver note to Liu Dafu.

"Don't worry, young general."

"I will take care of this matter!"

Liu Dafu nodded in surprise.

"Uncles, please clean up the workshop as soon as possible today."

"Try to go back to the farm as early as possible to build a new workshop tomorrow."

"The sooner we prepare, the sooner we can earn money."

"If you trust me, I will never let you down."

Duan Chun said with a fist.

"Young general, you are the same as the general."

"You are both iron men!"

"How dare I not trust the young general..."

Everyone knelt on one knee, and Duan Chun was too late to stop them.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Duan Chun got on the carriage and headed directly to Chongzuofang.

When he came to Tianzi Pavilion again, Tian Youyin and various stewards greeted him at the gate.

"Didn't the Zhang family father and son come back to make trouble?"

Duan Chun asked casually as he walked into the courtyard.

"Reporting to the young master, they dare not come to make trouble again."

"Everyone knows that Lord Duan, the Duke of Changguo, is not easy to mess with."

"However, the Zhang family father and son dare not make trouble openly."

"They will definitely take away all our previous merchants."

"After Tianzi Pavilion, maybe even the business of the Shaofujian..."

Tian Youyin worried.

"The Shaofujian is an official office of the court."

"Their deeds are fixed."

"They will not be easily taken away by the Zhang family father and son."

Duan Chun said disdainfully.

Arriving at the lobby, Tian Youyin waved his sleeves, and everyone else dispersed.

Duan Chun, two personal guards, and Tian Youyin were the only ones left in the lobby.

"Young Master, the Shaofujian is a government agency of the imperial court."

"It controls the purchase of embroidery and silk."

"The Zhang family father and son can't play a big role, but they can bribe the officials of the Shaofujian."

"I'm afraid that this matter will only turn around if the young master comes forward."

"However, these are all my guesses, but they will probably become a reality soon."

Tian Youyin said.

"If the Shaofujian really dares to tear up the contract and stop purchasing embroidery from our Tianzi Pavilion."

"I will go to them then."

"You don't need to worry about these."

"In two days, I will send a woman to come here to manage things."

"You are still responsible for the accounts, as well as the material and personnel management of the entire Tianzi Pavilion."

"The people I send are only responsible for skill management."

"There will be new commercial goods in the future, and the purchase of many new materials will also increase."

"Just cooperate with me, and I will increase your salary to at least twice the current level."

Duan Chun said.

"New commercial goods?"

"Young Master, have you thought about it so quickly?"

Tian Youyin asked in surprise.

"Yes, I thought about it last night."

"Here are some drawings, you can take a look."

Duan Chun took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Tian Youyin.

On the paper, there were all some fashion and various bag designs he drew.

In fact, in the era of the Great Kang Empire, noble ladies liked to wear gorgeous skirts when traveling.

She also carried an embroidered bag in her hand. In fact, bags were already very popular in ancient times.

It's just that there are not enough styles and they are not trendy enough.

Tian Youyin looked at the exquisite long skirt styles on the paper.

He was already surprised and opened his mouth wide...

"Young Master, who drew these?"

"This is a genius..."

Tian Youyin looked up and asked in disbelief.

"Now do you understand what I'm going to do?"

"If the Shaofujian tears up the contract and refuses to accept the embroidery and silk from Tianzi Pavilion."

"Humph, I'm not afraid of them doing such a thing."

"I've already cleaned up two shops in Shangxuanfang."

"In the future, these dresses and small bags made by our Tianzi Pavilion."

"There will be more exquisite jewelry later."

"They will all be put there for centralized sales. It depends on whether the Shaofujian comes to beg us."

"Or are we desperate?"

Duan Chun sneered.

He didn't expect to do business with the government at all. The Shaofujian was just helping the court to purchase goods.

Part of it will be handed over to the Inner Palace as tribute for the empresses and royal princesses.

Some of them are sold to ladies and ladies from meritorious families, and they make considerable profits from them.

Therefore, Duan Chun did not want to take advantage of this middleman.

If the palace wants it, Tianzi Pavilion will have no problem supplying it in quantity.

But if you want to make money, it is more straightforward to open your own store.

Last night, Duan Chun had already thought about his future plans.

Now it's just time to get started.

"I understand, young master."

"Thank you, young master, for trusting me so much."

"From now on, I will only be loyal to my young master!"

Tian Youyin lowered his head and bowed.

"Okay, here's my plan."

"You should read it once and act according to my plan."

"The two weaving and embroidery workshops should be changed as soon as possible."

"In less than three days, that lady will come to deal with other things here."

Duan Chun nodded.

"The villain obeys your orders."

"The villain has started posting recruitment notices."

"In the next few days, we should be able to recruit all the new embroiderers the young master needs."

"But I still have to find a way for Tianzi Pavilion to make up for the silver."

Tian Youyin reminded.

"Don't worry, I won't make up for the shortfall of the past three years if the Zhang family and his son don't make up for it within three days."

"I took people to raid his mansion!"

Duan Chun sneered and stood up and walked towards the door.

He figured it out yesterday that the Zhang family and his son had embezzled at least 10,000 taels of silver from Tianzi Pavilion every year in the past three years!

This is just a conservative estimate, and Duan Chun doesn't intend to make too clear a calculation.

What's more, he only had three years of corrupt money.

If you ask for too much, the Zhang family may not be able to spit it out, and they will get into a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Duan Chun doesn't have time to get these small amounts now.

Returning to Jiaofangsi, I just walked into the courtyard gate.

I saw Ding Chengzheng anxiously walking back and forth at the door, as if he was in trouble.

Duan Chun was stunned. Did the Jiaofang Division have another problem?
