Chapter 211 I can call the shots
When Chang Kai said this, he felt a little regretful. He felt that he was reckless. The young man in front of him was a business genius who could even make tricks for inconspicuous pickled eggs. It was not long ago that he bought low and sold high. Why can't he play tricks in spinning and weaving?
"Brother Zhu, I... "Chang Kai thought about explaining a few words, and Zhu Da interrupted him with a smile, and asked again: "Old Chang, please tell me in detail, why can't this weaving business be done?"
Both of them were busy in the house from morning until now, Qin Chuan and everyone started having a banquet. They were not so busy. They were relaxed when they stood outside the door and chatted. Although the weather was cold, the sun was warm when it shone on their bodies.
"There are few fields in Shanxi and Datong that can grow cotton, and there is not enough food. I wear such a little cotton weaving cloth at home. At best, I can change some pockets. In the past two years, I can't even change pockets. The cotton cloth in the south is more expensive and cheap, and it is better than what we paid for in Datong. If you want to change your own home cloth, you have to pay for it..."
Halfway through this time, Chang Kai thought that Zhu Da was operating in a commercial port like Zhengjiaji and Hebianxincun. Such department stores were more knowledgeable than him. Then he said that this was a pastime or a relief. But seeing Zhu Da's serious listening attitude did not seem to be bored.
"I know what Lao Chang said, but I still want to find a good weaver. I won't tell you what I want to do. First, I didn't think it was right, and second, I didn't want this plan to spread." Zhu Da said a few words.
Chang Kai suddenly realized that he had a lot of ideas. Zhu Da had new ideas. Of course, this kind of way to make money cannot be leaked, otherwise what would he earn? However, when it comes to the topic of "good weaver", Chang Kai was a little hesitant and subconsciously lowered his voice: "This weaver is not easy to find. It's all women who can't show up... Brother Zhu... If you can trust Lao Chang, Lao Chang will find you a few young and beautiful girls to be maids."
"I really want to find someone who knows how to weave cloth, but I also have to know what it is. It's not about finding a woman." Zhu Da replied amused and crying. It turns out that this person was wrong, but Chang Kai said so, and Zhu Da also realized that something was wrong. It's not a trivial matter for men and women to defend themselves and not to be close to each other.
In the past, there were many women and ladies working in workshops in Baibao Village and Hebian New Village, but there were many people there and they lived as much as possible. Everyone was a local fellow villager in the hometown, and there were fewer gossips. Even so, there were a few people talking about it. Zhu Da taught a lesson several times before he completely suppressed it. If he found similar people in the city and had to keep secrets, he would have to get along alone. This would be taboos and troublesome. How could the daughters and daughters of good people do this in public?
"But Brother Zhu, if you really want to keep a secret, you will think about you occupying a woman. Now you and Mr. Qin are going to do big things, so don't cause such a thing." Chang Kai sincerely advised. He was very clear about the relationship between Qin Chuan and Zhu Da, and knew who he should get closer to.
Zhu Da scratched his head and said, "If I really like which woman I can take over, everyone will find it ordinary."
"Yes, too." Chang Kai couldn't help laughing when he heard this. According to the lawless and powerful figures like Zhu Da should do something to bully men and dominate women. Think about it carefully, Zhu Da actually did a very regular job, and he was not as arrogant and wanton as a young man.
"Brother Zhu, don't worry. Since I know that there is something wrong, I will ask for you and recommend it if you have the right one." Chang Kai said with a smile.
"Please worry, Brother Chang, don't be afraid of spending money. As long as the right person can use the money to make it through, we should spend it." Zhu Da reminded him a few times, and Chang Kai quickly agreed.
Seeing that Zhu Da had no intention of going back to the house, Chang Kai smiled and continued the topic: "It's so comfortable to do a job for Mr. Qin and Brother Zhu. He never deducts the cost of calculating. Unlike the yamen who is too respectful, he thinks he has done practical work and can't hide anything from him. So he makes every calculation and does not pay for money. The worker and food and silver we are working on is 20% off. How can the deputy servants rely on to support the family in vain? In the end, they are nothing more than to exploit the people.
After the two of them had a few words, Chang Kai reminded him again, "Mr. Qin is going to live in Huairen County. He should have his own decent style on weekdays. It is probably inappropriate for so many servants in this house." This reminded Zhu Da. After a brief discussion, the two decided to put down Fang Ming and Yang Shouwen's house. Most of Fang Ming's house was burned but it was still possible to live in. Yang Shouwen's house was renovated. The servants left five people to come to guard every day, and the others lived in Fang's house, and they could even come over if there was anything else to do around the street.
The two were chatting, but they saw a strong man walking towards him. Zhou Qingyun and his servants were on duty. No one would be allowed to be put in. The person in front of him was not an outsider, but the leader of the knight who was escorting Qin Chuan back by Wang Qiong's family. Last night, Qin Chuan said that the leader's surname was Wang's name and tiger. His original surname was abandoned. This is also the rule for wealthy families to recruit private individuals. Following his own surname, the name was probably also later. The name of the martial artist cannot be separated from wolf, jackal, tiger and leopard. When Zhu Da heard this name, he was fine, but before going to bed, he thought of a short old man wearing a straw hat. He fell asleep after a moment of melancholy.
Zhu Da greeted him with a smile, and Chang Kai greeted him politely and went to the kitchen to be busy. Wang Hu walked to the door but did not enter. He just asked, "Who is here so lively?"
"The adoptive father is receiving Huairen's decent figure and hosting a banquet at noon."
"This Juren is really amazing. He came yesterday, and so many people came to support him today. This is just a match for the magistrate. If he was in Taiyuan City, it would be a big deal for a Juren. There were Taoists in the county and the government. How could there be a Juren in his eyes? They all saw more of them." Wang Hu sighed a few words.
After saying that, he shook his head and said, "I won't go back if I change it. I have a saying, "What is it better to be a son-in-law or a master yourself."
Yesterday, the Wang Hu and the Wang family guards were still a little sensible. Today, these words were much more down-to-earth. Zhu Da wanted to laugh when he heard this, but just continued: "It's better to be a chicken head than a cow queen."
"You have also read books. What do you mean? Mr. Qin is your adopted father. He must teach you to read and write. But I have a few gossips here. If you want to listen, just listen. If you don't want to listen, just take a gust of wind. You have to spend 120 minutes studying literature and martial arts. Never distract yourself. Scholars will fail the exam. If we are distracted, we will be distracted by martial arts.
It was not nice to say, but it was a real experience. Zhu Da said politely: "Thank you for your advice." Wang Hu didn't know what to do, so he leaned against the wall by the door like Chang Kai just now, squinted his eyes and enjoyed the sun, and said: "You have killed someone, there are more than one... there are more than a dozen."
The atmosphere was very leisurely, and Zhu Da would not hide anything in front of such a person. He replied with a smile: "More than a dozen, how did you see it?"
"When you look at people, stare at the vitals, when you look at our brothers, stare at waist, legs and arms, and the people in the county are afraid of you so much that they can come up with some reason. You are still young, and as we are at this time, you won't be so revealing. Your view of people is like a pig slaughtering pigs, which makes people beware of it in vain, and it is inconvenient to do something."
"How can I change it?"
"I've been killed a lot, used to it, loosen up, and then I'll correct it. In a few years, these problems will be gone."
Zhu Da looked at Wang Hu a few times, but he couldn't guess the big man's thoughts and purpose. He was too lazy to guess and said directly: "Brother Wang, is my adoptive father inside the house? Do you want to go in and chat? I will arrange for someone to add some dishes or go to the side room to have a tea and wait."
"After eating, your hospitality was very good. I just came to see it. It was nothing. I had to go back to Taiyuan after two days of rest." Wang Hu answered a few words, and after he finished speaking, he opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Da and said, "I heard Mr. Qin talk about you on the road, but I thought you died at the hands of the Tartars... Mr. Qin is not a hard-working student, he can use swords and weapons, but with you, there is no shortage of anything else. My brothers and I left earlier."
They were trolling and hesitating, but the meaning of the words was very clear. Wang Hu and others might have the intention to surrender, but when they saw Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun alive, and Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had weight and real skills, and the quality of the servants was not bad, so they would go and return early.
"Brother Wang, how did the Wang family treat everyone?" Zhu Da asked very directly.
"The Wang family's masters are all kind people, but they are all raised from wealth. They take many things for granted and do not know that there is danger outside. But in this situation, it is not true that they can connect with the juren and the Jinshi and other things to do more than a few people who dance with swords and guns." Wang Hu said in a muffled voice.
Wang Qiong was in charge of the canal transportation, and was in the border areas. He had experienced wind and rain, and had seen bloody swords and weapons. However, several sons of the Wang family grew up in wealth and honor. They had hereditary positions as the Jinyiwei Qianhu when they were less than ten years old or even under one year old. Such a person would not talk about his nature, but he definitely did not have a deep understanding of this world.
Zhu Da smiled and said with a smile: "Brother Wang and his brother escorted my adopted father back to his hometown. It has been a hard work along the way. He has to hold a banquet to thank him. Tonight, his adoptive father will hold a family banquet and invite Brother Wang and his brothers to come."
"Can you make the decision? Don't ask Mr. Qin first, I'll just wait here." Wang Hu opened his eyes and stared at Zhu Da in surprise.
"If you can make the decision, if Brother Wang doesn't believe it, I'll go in and ask before replying." Zhu Da had a relaxed smile on his face.
Wang Hu hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said, "I will know whether I can make the decision to do so at night, why bother now."
He thought it very clearly, and Zhu Da nodded with a smile.
"Mr. Qin said you are sixteen this year, and you are really sixteen this year?"
"Sixteen years old."
