Iron Dynasty

"Make irresponsible remarks?"

Xiao Ming frowned. He hadn't thought about it before, but now he suddenly remembered Zixuan.

The meaning of making irresponsible remarks is the development of the three from the four virtues.

Now that these female workers say this, it is natural that some people say behind their backs that they stay home all the time and don't care for their husbands and children.

"No, for this reason, there are still girls who come home midway. The slave and maid's textile workshop are not coming, or that is not coming." Zixu pouted, a little angry.

Xiao Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head. The feudal etiquette once again gave him color. He said: "In this case, this king will advertise to you in the newspaper. I believe that many people are still enlightened. Oh, yes. , What is your salary for this female worker?"

"Ninety cents a month." Aster stretched out her small hand and gestured with nine fingers.

"Thirty coins?" Xiao Ming was dumbfounded.

For this amount of money, you can only buy two or two meters in Qingzhou today. According to the price of modern rice, these two or two meters are two cents.

This means that Aster only pays six yuan a month or six catties of rice. It is no wonder that these female workers are unstable, because this job is really tasteless, it is a pity to give up and tasteless.

If it weren't for the lack of job opportunities in ancient women's homes, people would probably not come.

Moreover, since ancient times, the people have been small-scale farmers, self-sufficient, men and women weaving, holding 30 pens a month, it is better to go home and spin.

"What's the matter, your lord? Is there too much?" Aster looked innocent.

Lu Luo couldn't help saying at this time: "Sister, you are usually smart. Why can't you figure it out this time? Your Highness is too disgusted. The reason why those female workers can come is because the textile workshop was opened by His Highness and the people in the city. It was for your Highness’s reputation that they agreed to come. Now your salary is not as good as spinning yourselves. They are definitely not happy."

Xiao Ming patted Luluo's head and said with a smile: "Luluo is smarter than you. You have become a habit of being a housekeeper. Like Qian Dafu, you are becoming more and more stingy. Let this be the case. This female worker is in charge. A salary of one or two pennies."

"One or two silver, Your Highness, this is too much." Zixuan looked distressed, "This silver comes from the palace."

Xiao Ming said, "The king asks you, how much do you plan to sell for a cotton jacket?"

Speaking of this, Aster's eyes murmured and said with a grin: "At least three taels of silver?"

"So what is the cost of a padded jacket?" Xiao Ming asked again.

"Plus the salary of a female worker is at most two taels."

"That's it. There are a total of 100 female workers in the textile workshop, with 30 pieces a day, which is equivalent to a net profit of nine hundred taels a month in the textile workshop. If you have 1,000 female workers, you can earn nine thousand taels a month. That's a lot," Xiao Ming said.

Aster recalled immediately, she said: "Yes, now the most important thing is to recruit people."

Xiao Ming nodded, "That's right, one tael of silver a month, twelve taels of silver a year is equal to one season's harvest, do you think they want to come?"

"Well, what your Royal Highness said is that if this is the case, your Royal Highness will write this in the newspaper for Aster." Aster said excitedly.

Xiao Ming nodded. Now that the new city wall is about to be built, if the Barbarian wants to conquer this city, it will be difficult for him to go to the sky. Now he can finally free up his hands to develop industry.

There was a frolic with the two girls, when the family Ding Chuan had a messenger from King Wei asking for a meeting outside the door, and gave Xiao Ming a greeting.

"Envoy of King Wei?" Xiao Ming frowned.

Since the last time he parted in Chang'an, he and Wang Wei have cut contact, but it is said that Wang Wei has been begging Xiao Wenxuan about the artillery, and is very urgent, frequently bringing out the reasons why the Japanese invaded the coastal areas.

After hesitating, Xiao Ming said, "Let him come in."

When Jia Ding went, Aster and Luluo automatically avoided.

Not long after, a young man in white came to him under the guidance of Jiading.

Seeing this young man in white from a distance, Xiao Ming suddenly had an illusion that he seemed to have seen him somewhere, but he couldn't remember when he looked closely.

"Shi Xiaoqi, the subordinate of the Wei throne, has seen His Royal Highness Qi?" The white-clothed man said when he saw Xiao Ming.

"Your surname is Xiao?" Xiao Ming frowned, "Are you from the Xiao family in Nanyang?"

The young man in white still respectfully said: "His Royal Highness, I am not a member of the Xiao family in Nanyang. There are many Xiao surnames in the world, and a certain is just a small person."

"Really?" Xiao Ming looked suspicious, "At a young age, but now it is the long history of the Three Emperors. One is not from the Xiao family in Nanyang, then it is a stunning talent."

"His Royal Highness praised him absurdly, but it was a fluke that Wang Wei was favored." Xiao Qi said.

Xiao Ming looked at Xiao Qi again, and no longer asked about his personal affairs, but asked: "The Three Emperors sent you here, what's the point?"

"Returning to His Royal Highness, it is precisely for the artillery matter. His Royal Highness has obtained the emperor's approval and hopes that His Royal Highness can sell the artillery to King Wei." Xiao Qi said sternly.

"When did this happen?"

"His Royal Highness went to Cangzhou for several months, and the emperor agreed to this as early as a month ago."

Xiao Ming's brows became tighter, and he said, "Father, as expected, still feel sorry for the Three Emperors."

At this time, the white-clothed young man said with a serious face: "His Royal Highness is wrong. This time it is not the emperor who has distressed His Royal Highness Wei Wang, but the serious Japanese disease along the coast. When His Royal Highness was in Cangzhou, 30,000 Japanese pirates landed in Yandu Prefecture and captured it. In the territory of Cangping County, thousands of people in the city were slaughtered~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and turned into a den of Japanese pirates. How can your Majesty be the lord of the great Yu country, how can you bear to see the people of the great Yu country suffer? "

"Hahaha..." Xiao Ming burst into laughter when he heard the words, and said unceremoniously: "A mere 30,000 Japanese pirates made the Three Emperors so panicked, so when facing the 100,000 barbarian army, wouldn't this king be scared to pee his pants? No one in the world knows the richness of Wei and the strength of soldiers and horses, and the loss of Cangping County is not the responsibility of the king of Wei?"

The young man in white suffocated, the battle of Cangzhou, the world said that the king of Qi was righteous. This time, he also used righteousness to persuade Xiao Ming to provide artillery to the king of Wei as soon as possible. He did not expect that Xiao Ming did not mention the righteousness of the country at this time. , But reprimanded Wei Wang for negligence, he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xiao Ming smiled secretly in his heart, he knew all the tricks of the white-clothed boy.

Now that Xiao Wenxuan agreed to King Wei's request, the king of Chu in the south must also be logical. Now that raw rice has become cooked rice, he can only accept this transaction.

However, it is impossible to use what national righteousness to make him sell artillery cheaply, because compared with him, these vassals are a joke in front of him.
