Poor Family

"Mother, have you heard? Zheng Kun took the Li family to live in his own house, and Zeng took the child back to Zeng's house the next day."

In Yixiang Hall, after greeting Mrs. Shi, when everyone was sitting and chatting together, Mrs. Shi Wu smiled and shared the news she had just learned.

Mrs. Shi, Mrs. Shi, and Mrs. Shi Qi all looked surprised, and looked at Jin Yue'e one after another.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Jin Yuee quickly said, "I don't know about this."

Mrs. Shi withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyelids and said, "Don't take care of other people's housework."

Mrs. Shi Wu felt that Sifang was responsible for this matter, but she didn't dare to say it in front of the old lady, so she could only whisper to Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Shi Qi when she left Yixiang Hall.

"Sister-in-law, seventh brother and sister, the Li family has only come to the capital for two or three months, even if they want to offend people, there is a limit, why can't they live in the outer city?"

Mrs. Shi squinted at Mrs. Fifth Shi: "Fifth brother and sister, what do you want to say?"

Mrs. Shi Wu said in a low voice: "Tell me, could it be?" Pointing in the direction of Yigui Courtyard, "Did you do it?"

Madam Shi Qi said with a smile: "If Sister-in-law Wu wants to know, why don't you just ask?"

Mrs. Shi Wu choked: "How can I ask this?"

Mrs. Shi was speechless: "Then we don't know." After speaking, she talked to Mrs. Shi Qi and left quickly.

Returning to Yiming Hall, seeing Eldest Master Shi was still at home, Mrs. Shi repeated what Mrs. Fifth Mrs said: "Master, do you think the Fourth Brother's family did this?"

Master Shi shook his head: "No."

Hearing such a firm answer, Mrs. Shi was surprised: "How does the master know?"

Master Shi had a headache on his face: "Zhengkun came to me before, and he also thought it was the fourth brother who did it, so he begged me to make peace."

"I went to see Lao Si that day, and Lao Si told me that he hated the Li family, but he really didn't do it."

"The fourth child is a man of courage, if he says it's not, then it's definitely not."

Mrs. Shi also recognized Shi Zhenghe's character, and was silent for a while: "It's not the fourth brother, so could it be Goro?"

Master Shi shook his head again: "No, Wulang and Jiulang are on errands in the palace every day, and they go back to the uncle's mansion after their errands. These concierges know about it, and they don't have time to trouble the Li family."

Mrs. Shi said again: "Aren't there still sisters Yin and Xin?"

Mr. Shi laughed directly when he heard this: "I said Madam, the more you say, the more outrageous you are. Sister Yin and Sister Xin are two girls' families. It is already very good to be able to open a store."

"Forcing the Li family to live in the outer city, do you know how much effort it takes? They don't have the ability!"

When Mrs. Shi looked at her husband who didn't care, she also had some self-doubt.

After all, Zhengkun is a Hanlin bachelor, and he is still relying on the Zeng family. Under such circumstances, he can't find a house to house his family. This is indeed a bit generous.

Sister Xin and his sons should not be able to do it.

Mrs. Shi thought for a while and asked again: "Then who is dealing with the Li family?"

Master Shi snorted and sighed: "Who knows." After a pause, "The daughter of the Zeng family is pregnant, and the tide of the Zeng family has risen, so it's not like no one is jealous."

Mrs. Shi nodded with understanding, thought for a while and said: "The fourth younger brother put the Li family in prison before, and when Zheng Kun came to the mansion, his parents didn't show up. In the future, Zheng Kun will fight again because of the Li family and fourth younger brother If there is a conflict, the master had better not get involved."

Master Shi nodded: "You think I want to get involved."

The fourth brother is a blood relative. Zheng Kun has lived with them for many years since he was a child, and he has some feelings for him. Being caught between these two people really gives him a headache.

Mrs. Shi: "Master, please avoid it in the future. Let them solve the matter of the fourth brother and Zheng Kun by themselves. We have to learn from our parents about this."

Sending the Li family to Li Zhengkun's side, letting Li Zhengkun restrain him, and solving the family's troubles, Shi Fuxin began to deal with her own affairs with peace of mind.

She found that time is running out.

No way, there are too many things to deal with.

The first is the management of Hongyanxiao. Fortunately, sometimes Fuyin helps her, which can save her a lot of time.

Now there are ten branches in the capital, and it is not appropriate to add more. Therefore, she wants to infiltrate into other provinces, and strive to open a branch of Hongyanxiao in every provincial capital of Dachu.

The second is the operation and development of Shennongtang.

Master Xiang has successfully taken over the island and pasture from Meng and Yang. According to the planning map brought by Ximen Fengxiao, the island and pasture have begun to plant medicinal materials.

With the two medicinal material supply bases of the island and the ranch, she is going to start to open a branch of Shennongtang in the northern Xinjiang area.

In addition, the Liaodong region has to start planning.

The northern part of Great Chu includes the Northwest region under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Northern Xinjiang region centered on Huaiyuan, and the Liaodong region.

These places are all on the border with other countries and are the areas where wars are most frequent.

Whenever there is a war, casualties are inevitable, and she wants the Shennongtang branch to cover all these areas.

Thirdly, Saihua Tuoju still needs to see some patients from time to time.

With the spread of fame, more and more patients suffering from difficult and miscellaneous diseases came to her door. Now she is not so short of money, so the consultation fees she collects are also various.

Those who are rich and powerful owe her a favor; those who have no money, it depends on their actual situation.

In this way, a lot of contacts have also been saved.

Fourth, she also wanted to build Shennongtang Women's Medical College.

The establishment of a college may attract the attention of the imperial court, and it is not easy to implement at this stage. Now Xue Quan can only secretly train some medical students who are willing to study medicine in private.

Because Sai Huatuo's fame spread, many doctors wanted to come to exchange medical skills with her. She selected a few with good medical ethics and told them some medical skills beyond this era.

Of course, this is conditional, and the condition is that they have to go to Xue Quan and help her train medical apprentices for five years for free.

Now Xue Quan already has a lot of apprentices who have mastered the basic medical knowledge, and the Huaiyuan Shennongtang branch opened just in time for them.

These things are what Shi Fuxin has to do and wants to do, because she still has to go to the National Women's Prison to attend classes, so there is not enough time.

"Why are you frowning, what are you thinking?"

Shi Fuyin came to look for Shi Fuxin, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Shi Fuxin frowning in deep thought.

When Shi Fuxin saw her sister, a smile appeared on her face, and she handed her the blueprint she had just drawn: "Sister, look quickly, my business map has begun to take shape."

On the planning map, there is a simplified map of Dachu, and there are two eye-catching marks on the map.

"The green mark represents the branch of Shennongtang, and the red mark represents the branch of Hongyanxiao." Worried that Shi Fuyin would not understand, Shi Fuxin explained thoughtfully.

At this moment, there are twenty-six green markers on the north side of the map.

According to Shi Fuxin's plan, the Protectorate of the Western Regions will open nine branches of Shennongtang, eight in Huaiyuan, and nine in Liaodong, just covering the entire northern border area.

The red marks are also scattered all over the provincial capitals of Dachu, and the rich areas in the south of the Yangtze River and the coast are even more dense.

Shi Fuyin understood the picture. Just because I understood it, I was dumbfounded and shocked, and the light paper in my hand suddenly became a little overwhelming.

My sister's ambition is a bit big!

Shi Fuyin swallowed her saliva: "Sister Xin, I must support you, but with such a big stall, can you play well?"

Shi Fuxin smiled confidently: "I think I can." After a pause, "This is just my first small goal, the first version of the business map."

Shi Fuyin stared: "Do you have a bigger territory?"

Shi Fuxin nodded: "Of course, I haven't marked Shennongtang Women's Medical College yet. Next, when Shennongtang blooms everywhere in the north, the market in the south will also follow suit."

"I want Shennongtang to open all over Dachu. As long as there is Shennongtang, we will open Shennongtang Women's Medical College."

Listening to her younger sister's imagination, Shi Fuyin didn't know what to say. At this moment, she only had one feeling, having such a younger sister, so much pressure!

The shop provided by the National Women's Supervision to business students is only free for one year, and after one year, they have to pay for it.

In a blink of an eye, the one-year deadline came.

According to the experience of previous years, the students were in various arrears of fees, but this time, before the masters went to collect the fees, the students took the initiative to pay the fees, which really surprised the masters.

After seeing the taxes handed in by the students, I was surprised to find that this year's students are really full of talents.

Except for Dongfang Yunshang, who has a family background and background support, the shops opened may be a little watery, but most of the students really showed super high business talents.

Needless to say, Confidante's business is exploding. Nowadays, female family members in the capital will be ridiculed if they have never used Confidante's products.

There is also the building block workshop opened by Hu Xinrui, who played new tricks by pushing the wood in a daze.

The most indispensable thing in the capital is rich rich dudes. It is said that there is a second generation ancestor who stopped going out to spend time and wine because he played with building blocks. It took several months to build a three-meter Long, two-story wooden boat.

Now the second generation ancestor is most proud of inviting friends to his home to see the wooden boat he made by himself.

Not only the second generation ancestors like it, but adults and children also like it, and its ability to make money is not much worse than that of Hong Yanxiao.

Then there is Du Zixuan's flower shop in the water. Growing flowers in the water is also very popular with literati and refined scholars. Those who are not short of money at home are willing to buy some to display at home.

There is also the Weaver Girl Workshop opened by Zhuo Yimian, because the silk and satin it sells will not fade and will not fade, attracting businessmen from all over the world to snap up it.

If the customers of other students are ordinary people who sell goods, then Zhuo Yimian's customers are wholesale merchants, and their earning power ranks among the top three among this year's students.

Chu Qian has been following up on the situation of the business school students, and he truthfully reported it to the emperor.

After the emperor saw it, he sighed a little: "Shi Fuxin and Zhuo Yimian, the Wuchangbo Mansion and Rongchangbo Mansion are about to fall into ruin. I never thought that both of them would have good heirs."

Chu Qian smiled and said, "Uncle Rongchang's residence is not as good as Uncle Wuchang's. There are still promising men in Uncle Wuchang's residence, but Zhuo Yimian is not bad in Uncle Rongchang's residence."

The emperor nodded his head, a woman has to get married if she is to be successful, and a man must rely on a man to establish a family.

The emperor looked again at the taxes submitted by the students of the business school, and raised his eyebrows: "The taxes paid by the students of the business school are actually equivalent to the tax revenue of a medium-sized county!"

Chu Qian immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is the power of doing business. Not only can you earn money, but it can also make people's lives more prosperous and convenient."

"For one tael of silver, the people bought Hongyanxiao's rouge powder, and Hongyanxiao took the silver to a merchant to buy spices and other raw materials, and then the merchant went to the people who produced spices to buy them. After a circle, everyone got what they needed. , got everything I wanted.”

"The more money is circulated, the more abundant the national treasury will be, and the better the court will manage and implement administrative orders."

The emperor nodded: "That's the reason, no wonder Father and the others have never canceled the business school." Looking at the ladies on the list, he smiled.

"Empress Wende has said in public many times that women can hold up half the sky. In the future, you can show me the business situation of each class of students in the business school. I want to see. Where does Empress Wende have the confidence to say that? Say something like that."

Chu Qian nodded in response, and when the emperor was about to start reviewing the memorial, he bowed and retreated.

The emperor is concerned about the operation of the business class, and the students themselves are also very concerned, and there is still some rivalry.

To judge whether a store is operating well, the tax payment figures are the best proof.

Confidante, who pays the most taxes, ranks first; Zhinvfang ranks second; Jimufang ranks third.

For this ranking, Dongfang Yunshang and other noble ladies must not accept it, but there is nothing to do if they refuse to accept it. If they are not as good as others, they have to admit defeat.

"Fu Xin, congratulations on becoming the best business student in our class."

When Shi Fuxin was about to leave with the tax list, Zhuo Yimian walked over suddenly.

"Congratulations too, our family likes the fabrics from Zhinufang very much." After a pause, Shi Fuxin looked at Zhuo Yimian with a smile, "You are very good at dyeing fabrics that don't fade."

Zhuo Yimian saw that Fu Xin spoke sincerely, and thanked her with a smile.

In fact, it's not that she is very good, the Rongchangbo mansion is the founding honor of the country, the ancestors of the Zhuo family especially admired Empress Wende, and left a special biography of Empress Wende.

She just found out in the biography how to keep the color of the fabric from fading, and followed it.

Because of the fame of Weaving Girl Workshop, Rongchang Bo Mansion is now remembered by everyone again. Although the powerful nobles still ignore them, the situation is much better than the previous Bo Mansion.

The situation in Uncle Wuchang's Mansion was similar to that in Uncle Rongchang's Mansion. She privately thought that she and Shi Fuxin, who were in the same situation, should be able to talk together, so they started to make friends.

Seeing Zhuo Yimian standing still, Shi Fuxin immediately said: "I still have things to do, so I'll go first."

She picked up a patient the day before yesterday, and now she is going to Anyefang for consultation.

Seeing Shi Fuxin walking in a hurry, Zhuo Yimian also started to pack her things and prepare to go home. At this time, Dongfang Yunshang came over and wanted to ask her to go shopping.

If it was before, she would readily agree, but now, she directly declined.

Years of indifference made her understand a truth. When she makes friends with people of different status, she is bound to lie low to please others. Now that she can use her own ability to win a place for the uncle's mansion, she doesn't want to embarrass herself so much anymore.

Anyefang, the Four Seas Gambler.

In the backyard of the casino, Chu Qian gave Chu Yao a tax list of the business school.

"The sixth girl from the Shi family you know is really capable. I did some preliminary calculations. The tax she will pay next year will be one lower than the county's fiscal revenue."

Chu Yao looked disbelieving: "Is it that exaggerated?"

Chu Qian immediately took out a pen and counted for him: "This is Hongyanxiao's first year's tax, you know, this is a shop. Now there are ten Hongyanxiao branches in the capital, and every family's business is booming. Unexpectedly, the tax in the second year will be ten times or even more than this year's. See if you can offset the fiscal tax of a county?"

Seeing the figures calculated by Chu Qian, Chu Yao stopped talking.

He admitted that Yuan Pomegranate has some ability on him.

Chu Yao looked at the other people on the list: "The others seem to be good."

Speaking of this, Chu Qian became interested: "It's really strange. The National Women's College of Business has not produced a business genius for many years. I didn't expect so many people to appear this time. I was shocked. gone."

"Before that, I also felt that it was definitely not good for women to run a business, and they were definitely inferior to men, but now, I really dare not say that."
