Such a good girl, no matter her family background, appearance or ability, there is nothing wrong with her. It's a pity that such a good phoenix should fly to a higher branch.
She collected her thoughts, listened carefully, and said tactfully: "It's just that even if we recruit female workers... their skills vary..."
It is not possible to feed so many people and still make a profit by relying on these ordinary female workers.
Su Yao had already thought about this problem. She said softly, "I have asked someone to go to the Nanjing Weaving Bureau to invite a group of people. They will teach these female workers embroidery and skills. As long as they study hard, they will become proficient."
Go to Nanjing Weaving Bureau to hire people!
Needless to say, the Nanjing Weaving Bureau, although since the capital was moved, all the major government offices there have become places for retirement.
But the Weaving Bureau is different. How many palace maids and beauties from the Needlework Bureau went there and did not go to the capital? They have superb craftsmanship, and each of them is a figure that cannot be dug up at a high price in normal times, but now they are invited to Yunnan!
Princess Changning is really generous!
Even Mrs. Liao couldn't help but get excited.
I originally thought that this weaving mill was just a place for the children to live and make a living, but now it seems that it is much more than that!
As long as the weaving mill is well maintained, it will be beneficial to the economic development of the entire Yunnan!
My husband has been in office for several years, but he has not made any achievements. Even if he has made a breakthrough this time, there is still a lot of work to be done. Now, if there is a way to make money...
Her mind raced, and without waiting for the other ladies to raise any more questions, she spoke decisively: "County Lady, from now on, no matter how many girls there are, as long as they are fatherless and motherless and have nowhere to go, as long as they are willing to come, our weaving mill will accept them all!"
Su Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled and nodded.
After talking about this, Su Yao drank a sip of tea and brought up another matter.
Compared with the previous shock, donating money to buy medicinal materials is just a small matter.
After all, everyone had already prepared to donate silver. As long as the silver was donated, it was not a big deal. Moreover, the money was directly used to improve the water use in the army.
Everyone had no objection to this, and Mrs. Qiu said bluntly: "This is easy to handle. Our family is in the medicinal materials business. If there is a need, we can also donate some medicinal materials."
The banquet for the women went unexpectedly smoothly, and the banquet for the men in front also went smoothly.
His Highness's methods were evident from the way he dealt with Councillor Yang with great force and captured the Black Mountain Camp without bloodshed. Unless the local gentry were hopelessly stupid, they would not go against Xiao Heng at this critical juncture.
On the contrary, they were all very happy to serve His Highness in quelling the rebellion, some donated money, some donated things.
The banquet was a great success for both the guests and the hosts.
After the dinner, Mrs. Ji returned home and asked to see Mr. Ji first, and told him about Su Yao's plan to build a weaving workshop.
Master Ji had mixed emotions when he heard this. He was amazed and couldn't help shaking his head. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "This county lady is really not an ordinary person."
Inviting people from the Nanjing Weaving Bureau is the ultimate trick. With this trick, the Ji family feels that it is worth it no matter how much money they spend. I believe other families feel the same way.
Ji Yunting was much more straightforward. He said directly: "The county princess really has great ambitions!" His admiration for Su Yao was beyond words.
Seeing him like this, Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji shook their heads again in their hearts.
What a pity, such a pity.
Back to the point, after hearing about the weaving field, Old Master Ji suppressed his tiredness and nodded, and then reminded: "No matter what, since this matter has been done, it must be done well. Old Master's wife, this matter is now handed over to you. The people you use must be carefully selected. Don't make any scandals and turn a good thing into a bad thing. Do you understand?"
As a man, Mr. Ji has lived to such an old age and has long been a wise man among men. Because of this, he understands too well why Su Yao wants to open a weaving mill and rely on the power of so many gentry. She just wants to provide the greatest protection for these girls.
Since you have already promised them, you must be extra cautious.
If something went wrong at home, he would not be able to face Su Yao face to face.
Mrs. Ji didn't react at first. It was only after Mr. Ji sighed and explained it to her that Mrs. Ji was shocked. She hadn't expected that there were so many taboos and tricks here. She hurriedly took note of them carefully.
Old Master Ji waved his hand, a little tired: "Forget it, you should just focus on this matter recently. If there is anything you don't understand, just come and ask. Listen more, watch more, and learn more. This is a big thing. You will understand it in the future. This is not the achievement of one generation!"
Although Mrs. Ji had not yet fully understood, seeing that her father-in-law spoke so seriously, she subconsciously agreed and nodded in response.
Meanwhile, Madam Liao also told her husband about this matter, and said to Lord Liao, "I never thought that Princess Changning could be so smart. She's smart, but at her age, and she's a princess in the capital, how can she understand the people's sentiments so well? Her idea is really brilliant, and she has almost calculated everything. Do you think it was your Highness who gave her the idea?"
Liao Jingxu was also shocked after hearing this, and then he couldn't help but sighed softly, saying: "It can't be that His Highness asked her to help, His Highness has a lot of things on his hands now. On the contrary, this should be a favor that His Highness asked her to help. This county lady, you can't take it lightly in the future. You may think that you appreciate her enough now, but her future is far more than that."
With this ability, and with Xiao Heng attaching so much importance to her, how could she have a bad future
Mrs. Liao agreed and said, "I was thinking that the county lady's idea is really good. She came up with this idea and invited people from the Nanjing Weaving Bureau, which is also a big favor for us. We are in a state of disrepair right now. If the weaving can be started, it will be a big business."
These are all political achievements!
There are only a few things that can make money: tea, porcelain, silk, and salt. These are the biggest sources of income for a place, but in Yunnan, none of these are available.
If silk weaving could be developed today, it would be of extraordinary significance.
Mrs. Liao meant: "Forget about this weaving mill. If it can really be established, I mean, the Governor's Office should pay for the construction of a school, and then we can let those native children come here to learn the skills."
