Chapter 170: No Money, No Things
Before the nanny could react, Wang Jinyi ran back to the house.
As soon as he entered the room, he opened the drawer and took out a pencil and paper. Wang Jinyi couldn't help complaining to herself, why didn't she order a notebook and carry a shoulder bag with her so that she could write down her inspiration at any time. She was so stupid!
Seeing the three people behind him coming in, he found a large piece of paper, folded it several times, and told Zhu Yu:
"Tear up all the paper into pieces this big and bind them into a small book for me."
Wang Jinyi carefully explained to Zhu Yu how to bind the paper into the size of a diary with thread. Zhu Yu took the paper and left as requested by the lady.
Wang Jinyi turned around and looked at the nurse:
"Nurse, make me a school bag like my brother's. It should be prettier and smaller. Just make it this size."
Wang Jinyi gestured the size of a pencil, and the nurse understood immediately.
"Miss, you want a book bag too, right?"
Wang Jinyi felt that it was enough for the nanny to understand it roughly, and it didn't have to be the same as her brother's.
"Yes, it should be smaller and prettier!"
When the wet nurse heard that there was a job that she was good at, she happily went back to the inner room to find cloth. Wang Jinyi climbed onto the big chair and wanted to check the expenses of this period with Qingyu.
The nurse came back with a few pieces of cloth of different sizes and asked:
"Miss, we are out of cloth. Do you want to get some? What color do you like?"
Wang Jinyi looked at the coarse cloth, fine cloth, strips of cloth, embroidered cloth and various small pieces of cloth in the nurse's hands. Suddenly, an idea came to her. Oh my God, I am so stupid. Why don't I use such a good way to make money?
The nurse and Qingyu stood by the young lady's desk, watching her draw pictures one after another, drawing all kinds of small bags, one after another, each one new and novel. The young lady had all kinds of strange ideas in her mind.
Looking at the four freshly prepared drawings, the nurse was somewhat surprised. The young lady's brain must be different from others. She always has special ideas coming out...
The lady kept drawing and writing all sorts of random words under the drawing.
Wang Jinyi simply took out the red and blue pencils and started to draw color pictures. Both of them lay beside Wang Jinyi to look at the new color bags.
Zhu Yu walked in holding a small book bound with thread. Seeing the status of the three people, he joined in curiously and asked loudly in surprise:
"Miss, did you draw all of this?! This shoulder bag that looks like a flower has compartments inside? What is this? The one with the plaid pattern looks better."
"Miss, do you want to make some book bags? For yourself or for the young master?"
"I think it's all right." The nurse said as she flipped through the drawings.
Qingyu began to pour cold water:
"Miss, we have no money in our account. You still owe the government more than a thousand taels of silver. We don't have money to do this."
Wang Jinyi woke up instantly, raised his head and put down the pen. Well, he would first make a few simple bags according to local conditions and give them to the clan to see if there is any chance to make some money.
Wang Jinyi thought about it calmly. He urgently needed to make money to open the Tai Sheng chain store. He had to open all the Tai Sheng stores in the counties around Xunyang Prefecture first, and then use the Tai Sheng Rice Shop to help him find people.
I don’t know whether Chen Zhiyuan is in Xunyang Prefecture or not. No matter what, we have to open shops in every prefecture and county until we find him!
Wang Jinyi’s determination to find Chen Zhiyuan will not change!
The nurse held a piece of cloth and measured it against a bag that the young lady had drawn that looked like a petal.
Qingyu quickly picked up two pieces of cloth from the pile, and found a shoulder bag with a two-color pattern on it from the blueprint.
"Miss, let me make this bag. I will definitely do it well."
"Miss, these two maids will make sure they prepare it for you."
"Wait a minute, I'll mark the dimensions."
"No, miss, just make it as big as the piece of cloth we have. When it's done, we'll sell it to the merchants and make some money, so that we can have some cash in our account."
The nurse was surprised and asked:
"What? We don't have any money left in our account?"
"Miss, I promise to do these two well!"
Zhu Yu didn't say anything for a long time, but when he heard that there was no money in the account, he asked Qing Yu tentatively,
"You mean, we have no money?"
"Not only do we have no money, we now owe the treasury more than a thousand taels of silver!" Qingyu was also anxious, not knowing what to do. She thought it would be right to tell the head maid, so she said without hesitation:
"In our current situation, we don't know when we can pay back the money. Oh, it's really sad!" He said while looking at the young lady with a sad look.
Wang Jinyi saw that Qingyu was somewhat blaming him, but he was not in a hurry. Whether it was the cooperation in lending out pencils or the cooperation in printing picture books, the money owed to the public was not a problem, it just took time.
Now he was in urgent need of money to build a house in Ku Shui Mountain. He also had to support his subordinates, pay the money for the missing person notices at the city gates every day, and he also had his own ambition to open Tai Sheng Rice Shops all over the Da Qi Dynasty.
Let Tai Sheng Rice Shop become the anchor point for finding Chen Zhiyuan, and let the whole dynasty know about the "stars in the night sky"!
Wen Bai went to discuss the publication of "Revenge", but he hasn't come back yet. He hasn't been active these past two days, so the deal hasn't been concluded yet.
In a few days, Wu Mei and Feng Jie will be back. We still have to figure out the mine matters, and I'm afraid we'll need more people, so we urgently need money.
Wang Jinyi had no choice but to come up with an idea. Sell some designs. Intellectual investment doesn't count as business, right? But think about what the clan leader said: You are a descendant of the Wang family!
So he said to the two of them,
"You guys should make two of each picture, I'll be useful!"
Zhu Yu looked at the picture.
"Miss, you want to make this thing! Can I tell you something in private?"
Wang Jinyi rolled his eyes. How could this be like his style?
"Okay, let's go to the counting house and talk."
After hearing what Zhu Yu said, Wang Jinyi felt that it was right for him to listen to the whisper this time.
What did Zhu Yu just tell? It was about Zhu Yu's sickly mother, who was originally from the Zeng family, which specialized in embroidery for the royal family.
Later, the family fell into poverty, so they had to let all the concubines learn embroidery. Until Zhu Yu Niang's generation, the mother of the legitimate son decided to sell the girls one by one and set up a embroidery building for the family to serve the rich and powerful and to maintain the family expenses.
Zhu Yu Niang was bought by the Cheng family when she was 12 years old and worked as a worker in the needlework room. The Cheng family also took a fancy to her craftsmanship. Later they found out that she did not have any special embroidery skills, but her needlework was extremely delicate, so they kept her for 10 years.
Later, when she was older, she was allowed to leave home and get married. It happened that Xu Ma's third son was too honest and had never married, so Xu Ma went to find her and proposed to her sincerely.
Many people in the mansion thought that this well-behaved and beautiful Xiuniang would not agree, but she agreed. The couple liked each other at first sight and had a very good relationship after marriage. Later, Zhao Wuya-Zhu Yu was born.
