Happy peasant girl

Chapter 506
"Go to the military camp and ask Yun to borrow a few strong soldiers, and ask them to help the craftsmen to prepare the kang for the common people. In addition, help the common people to strengthen their houses, and there will be a heavy snowfall this day." If there is no The ground was covered with snow, and Chuxi City could hardly tell day from night.

After giving Leng Mingyang these instructions, Lin Qingxi invited Lin Qingfei and Qi Mingzheng to the living room. She needed to discuss with them the matter of benefiting the people of Chuxi City.

Wearing masks, Lin Qingfei and Qi Mingzheng walked into the living room together. After saluting, they sat down on both sides of the living room, while Lin Qingxi sat in the main seat.

"The Rong family and the Qi family were able to stand up when Chuxi City was in trouble. Qingxi thanked both of you from the people of the whole city for this kindness." Lin Qingxi stood up and bowed to both of them.

If it was said that Lin Qingxi was giving the gift in the name of her younger sister, Lin Qingfei didn't think it was a big deal, but with Qi Mingzheng present, it was obvious that she was giving the gift as a princess, which made the two of them unbearable.

"Princess can't, grass people can't bear it!" Lin Qingfei and Qi Mingzheng stood up at the same time and bowed to Lin Qingxi and said.

"Princess, although Rongqi and Rongqi are merchants, they are also from Chu State. If something happens to the western border of Chu State, I will have no place to stay in Chu State. This is what grassroots people should do." Lin Qingfei humbly said.

"Third brother Rong is right. Princess, the Qi family has been helped by the princess several times. It is the princess who gave the Qi family a way out. The Qi family is willing to do anything for the princess, and they will go through fire and water." Before Qi Mingzheng came, Qi Mingyuan had already He told him several times that Princess Qingxi is not only the benefactor of the Qi family, but also a noble person of the Qi family. No matter what conditions she puts forward, the Qi family must unconditionally agree.

"The Rongqi family is so benevolent and righteous. I have written down this love in Linqingxi. The third son of Qi and the third son of Rong. I have something to discuss with the two of you. I hope you can help me." Lin Qingxi Nodding in satisfaction with Qi Mingzheng's attitude, it seems that the Qi family does have a long-term vision, and it is not in vain for her to support the Qi family many times.

"Princess, please order!" Lin Qingfei and Qi Mingzheng said respectfully in unison.

"Currently, the people of Chuxi City are exhausted by the news of the successive snowstorms and heavy snow closures. The more desperate people are, the more grateful they are to those who give them hope. Help the people of Chuxi City again, thinking that the people in the whole city will remember the great kindness of the Rong family and the Qi family. Therefore, I have let people out, and the Rongqi and Qi families will each open a workshop in Chuxi City. Then recruit local people as workers, and I hope you can pay higher wages." This is an excellent opportunity to earn a good reputation for the Rong family and the Qi family, aside from these things, Lin Qingxi will not Let the two suffer.

"Princess, what do you need the Rong family to do?" Lin Qingfei didn't care about fame, and he didn't need any money. In fact, he brought Lin Qingxi a lot of property this time. Foreign things can never compare to the Linqingxi family.

"Princess, the Qi family obeys the princess' orders!" Qi Mingzheng had a quick mind, and he immediately figured out what Lin Qingxi said. Not to mention the high wages, the Qi family is willing to spend money even if the people don't do anything. Buy a good name.

"That's good. I have two businesses now. One is weaving all kinds of knots, which can be done by men, women, and children. The other is selling stone handicrafts. The most popular thing in Chuxi City is Shishan, and there are many people in Shishan. The stones come in a variety of colors and are easy to polish, and almost everyone in Chuxi City knows how to grind stones." Lin Qingxi asked Ruoxin to take out a few sketches she drew last night, and handed them to Lin Qingfei And Qi Mingzheng.

"Princess, the people choose stones!" Lin Qingfei said aloud almost the moment he got the blueprint.

The merchant's natural sensitivity told him that the stones in Chuxi City used to be expensive stones that no one cared about, but after the ingenuity of Linqingxi and the polishing of craftsmen, they will become the characteristics of Chuxi City, and Chuxi City Colorful stones are not found anywhere else.

Qi Mingzheng is not so stupid, Lin Qingfei is so anxious to start the stone business in Chuxi City, he also figured out the taste, but Qi Mingyuan asked him to befriend the Rong family, so he didn't argue.

Besides, although some people in the Chu Kingdom know how to weave knots, it is not as complicated and beautiful as the one in Linqingxi's painting. The most important thing is that it means auspiciousness, so it must be able to sell for a good price.

Therefore, Qi Mingzheng said that the Qi family wanted to do the business of weaving knots, and Lin Qingxi asked the two of them to go back and find two trustworthy people. She would teach them to weave knots in person. As for the stone polishing pattern, she would try her best to draw it well. Various drawings.

Lin Qingfei and Qi Mingzheng wanted to give Lin Qingxi a share, but she didn't want it. She was very happy that everyone could come to help Chuxi City, and she was not short of money.

That afternoon, the caravans of Rong's family and Qi's family found a shop in Chuxi City. Now that the city was closed by heavy snow, they couldn't go back, so they opened workshops in Fucheng.

When they heard that the Rong family was going to open a stone shop in Chuxi City, the people in the city were very surprised. They had never heard that stones could be sold for money, not to mention that the mountains in Chuxi City were full of stones, and even the trees were sparse.

But Lin Qingfei immediately hired the carving art craftsmen of Chuxi City Association to his workshop at a high price, and then found a few local people who were familiar with the stone mountain, and went up the mountain to find stones.

At the same time, the Qi family opened a knot shop in Fucheng. There are embroidered women in the shop who teach the common people how to weave various knots. Buy it from a store at home, and the two parties have signed a contract document before going to school.

In the beginning, many people went to Qi’s shop to learn knots, but there were no people in the stone shop. But a few days later, someone entered the stone shop and found that the ordinary stones on the stone mountain in Chuxi City had turned into Polished and round stone bracelets, some are black, like Buddhist beads, some are dark blue, like the color of the sea that many people have never seen, and some are colorful.

In the past, many people only knew about gold, silver and jade jewelry, but they didn't expect that stones could look so noble and elegant, and such stones with various colors were only available in Chuxi City.

Neither the knots nor the stone bracelets are intended to be sold to the people of Chuxi City, but to be sold to other places in Chu State. In those places, these knots and stone bracelets will become rare goods, and many people are greedy for new things. people flock to it.

Although there are only two workshops, they have also solved the workmanship problems of many people, and the people who were originally living in a difficult life are not afraid of having no way to survive. The Rong family and the Qi family have given them two choices for survival.

Soon, the second continuous snowfall came, and Chuxi City encountered new problems. There was not enough firewood, and there were too many people, and the things sent by several families were useless, which could only alleviate the temporary cold.
