The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 595

As the saying goes, before soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.

While people are outside, they have to prepare for nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation, food and clothing expenses.

As soon as Chu Xu received the transfer order, he summoned the staff, guest ministers and stewards in the mansion to discuss the matter.The development of the master is naturally the best for these dependent people.In this way, their value and status will also rise accordingly.For this reason, everyone is very excited. It is always a good thing to get promoted and get rich.

So, soon people set off one after another, went to explore the road and arrange the itinerary, as the forerunner in the early stage.

It is said that they can basically take a boat along the way, especially the farther south they go, the more water areas there are, so they don't need to take a car at all;

It is said that there is basically summer all year round, and the coldest time is similar to late spring and early summer;

It is said that all the seafood is eaten there, if someone is not satisfied with it, it will not work;
It is said that there is little fresh water there, and it is easy to take a bath in the sea, but fresh water is relatively precious;
It is said that people can be tanned in a few days there;
In short, life is completely different from the inland...

Following the news they kept sending back, Shi Chuying was also slowly adjusting the things and manpower she was planning to pack and bring over.

Chu Xu’s Zhenguo General’s Mansion has not added much new industries in recent years. In the past ten years, it has just consolidated the original industries, changed hands too scattered and scattered, and finally concentrated relatively in the capital, old capital and Northwest Jianzhou and Lianzhou area.

As for Shi Chuying's own industry, apart from a few places in the capital and the old capital, most of the other farms and forest lands are in relatively remote places like Wangyun Mountain and Lianhua Mountain.Such concentration is mainly for the convenience of management and care. After all, Chu Xu and Shi Chuying are not people who have a lot of time to manage the industry.

The annual net income of these industries in the General’s Mansion is about 8000 taels of silver. The rest of the food, vegetables, poultry, livestock, game, freshwater fish, fruits and other things used in the mansion are all sent by the farm, which can also save money every year. Down a few thousand taels.

As for Chu Xu's Juelu plus errand salary and rewards, there are about 3000 taels a year. These are just used for New Year's ceremony, and there is basically nothing left. The monthly rewards of guest servants and servants all depend on the government The income support of the industry.

Fortunately, Chu Xu and Shi Chuying are not poor and fastidious people, and they can still save some money every year, so Shi Chuying is not surprised to see that there is a surplus of more than 8 taels after checking the accounts.

These coins may not be too little for ordinary people, but for a family with a middle title like General Zhen Guo's Mansion, it can only be said that it is more than enough and more than the lower.

It was Shi Chuying's own private money, hehe, who in the capital of Dachu knew that the medicine for General Zhen Guo's wife had always been hard to come by.In addition, there was a full two or three years of interruption in the middle, making it even more expensive.

Shi Chuying drew in circles, and after being busy for a long time, she called the lady in charge, Yulu, who was by her side now.

"Go get someone to send a message to Yuyu, and tell her to come to the mansion as soon as possible. Also, for these people in the circle, give them a few consecutive meals of various seafood. People will be picked out, and the rest will show me..."

Since he was going to the South China Sea, he had to adapt to the local life first. At least he couldn't get a rash or diarrhea after eating seafood.Otherwise, it is still uncertain who will serve whom.

Yulu looked at the list and complained: "Madam, do you dislike us for being too old? Why are you bringing in newcomers this time?" The old ones have been working for ten years, and the newcomers have only been here for a year. That's all, it's been so long since I've been away with my wife, I can't take care of her well even if I think about it.

"They are all novices, just learning, how can we take good care of them? When they arrived in that barren place, they were still dumbfounded? Madam should think about it again." The children of Yulu's family are not old, they This group of people happened to be getting married one or two years ago, so the children were all similar.

Some girls stayed in the mansion to continue to serve after they got married, and some were assigned by Shi Chuying to be in charge of the shop or the village, so that her and Chu Xu's property gradually became stable.After all, the chief steward and the second steward in the mansion can't stay in Zhuangzi to take care of them all the time, it's better to have their own talents.

Shi Chuying looked at Yulu's slightly round face, and said with a smile, "Not to mention that you all have a family, and the children are too young. The place is very humid every summer. People from our place go there, It is inevitable that I will be ill. I can take care of the general and the children, but not everyone can take care of them. Children are delicate, and it will be bad if there is a mistake..."

Therefore, it is best for them to stay in the mansion.

Yulu thought that her one-year-old daughter was really not suitable for long-distance travel, so she had to give up the entanglement and hurried to spread the word.

Yu Yu came quickly.She married a guard in the mansion, and Shi Chuying handed over a shop she had bought to her and opened a tailor shop.Because the shop is Shi Chuying's own, it mainly takes care of the needlework in Fuli and Huaishu Hutong, and of course also does some scattered work.

In the final calculation of the income, Yuyu can get [-]% of it, and Shi Chuying will save it, so it can be considered that the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Yuyu mainly checks the quality of the work, and she does most of the needlework that involves the master. She doesn't need to stay in the shop in person on weekdays. She has her own sewing room training girl in the house to take care of it. .

Shi Chuying motioned for her to take the pen and paper on the table to record, and said to herself: "I think you've heard, this time the general and I are going to garrison in the south.

What you want to do is that everyone who goes this time has to wear some clothes for traveling.The important thing right now is that the general, brother and sister Shi and I should make a few suits first. The material doesn’t need to be too good, but it needs to be strong and durable, and the color doesn’t need to be too delicate. "The close-fitting clothes of the masters are still made by the sewing room in the mansion, and the clothes picked up in the shop are all worn outside.

Without further ado, Yu Yu took Luo Dai to write down the notes, and then waited for his wife to continue.

Shi Chuying nodded, and continued: "You must have two or three thick cloaks. If they are windproof, you'd better bring a hood. There is also a gauze hat. The sea breeze is either sticky or brings rain , very fishy, ​​don't use materials that are easy to absorb the smell." Otherwise, it will become salty kelp in a few days.

"There is also a complete set of curtains and curtains. Compare the number of the five main rooms and the rooms of the young masters and girls in the mansion. Make four sets each, two thin and two thick. The thick ones must be resistant to moisture. Don't use silk and satin materials. The sea breeze is salty. One In summer, the satin material will lose its color... use muslin or cotton silk..."
