Su Niyue stores a large number of ready-made clothes, various cottons, cotton clothes, shoes, and bedding in her space. She also grows a lot of cotton in her space. The house has been rented to villagers for free.
It's a bit unreasonable to wear these clothes for free because the workers are also responsible for the food. They know the principle of rice and rice.
She discussed with Nangong Yunteng and sold the ready-made clothes in the space to the villagers at the lowest price in the market. She was not doing it to make money.
I just want everyone to understand that there is nothing for nothing in this world. What’s more, if she keeps giving like this, one day she will be left empty-handed.
The school had just been built, but the supporting facilities were not yet in place. Li Pingzhi and his wife were still at home.
When Su Niyue and Nangong Yunteng found Lin, she was discussing with Li Pingzhi that she wanted to work in the oil mill.
"Sister-in-law, you can't do the physical work in the oil shop. I have a job that is more suitable for you. I don't know if you are willing to do it!"
"The young lady is here!"
"No, sister-in-law, just call me by my name!"
"Brother Ping!"
"Yunteng and his siblings are here!"
"Well, Niyue wants to discuss opening a clothing store with her sister-in-law!"
"Clothing store!" Mrs. Lin didn't expect that Su Niyue and the others would take the initiative to come to her.
"Yes..." Su Niyue told them her idea and plan of opening a clothing store.
The clothes in Su Niyue's space have no cost and are all made of cotton. She asked Lin to price them according to the lowest price on the market. Su Niyue gave Lin a salary of five taels of silver per month.
When the couple heard this, they understood that Su Niyue and Nangong Yunteng trusted them and wanted to help them. If they refused again, they would be in trouble.
Su Niyue also recruited several women with good prostitutes to make ready-made clothes and sell them in ready-made clothes stores.
Soon, the first store in Taoyuan Valley, Taoyuan Valley Affordable Clothing Store, opened. The villagers were worried that the weather was getting colder and colder, and they had some extra money. It was time to buy winter clothes for their families. This ready-made clothes store opened just that when.
Seeing that they can buy ready-made clothes without going to the city, the villagers went to the ready-made clothes stores in groups of two or three. No one expected that the ready-made clothes here were so cheap. They were really affordable.
Immediately afterwards, grain and oil stores, vegetable stores, grocery stores, etc. opened one after another, and classes also started. There were nearly 700 residents in the entire Taoyuan Valley, not counting Nangong Yunteng's family.
The cold wind is gradually rising, fallen leaves are fluttering, and people on the street are hunching their necks and walking in a hurry.
"Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
"I heard that this winter is going to be like, oh, yes, there will be extremely cold weather!"
"We don't know what this extreme cold is about. Looking at the weather, it won't get better!"
Su Niyue drove the carriage, listened to the conversations of passers-by, and glanced at Nangong Yunteng, who had a solemn expression.
"Ms. sir..."
"I wonder how many people can survive this winter?"
"These are things that the Dog Emperor should worry about, not to mention the Liangzhou Prefect!"
"Well, that's right. Who doesn't clean up their own troubles?"
"Ms. Sir, we have arrived at the Prefect's Mansion. Please take your valuables with you and get out of the car with caution!"
"Valuable items, my husband has leg problems and can't get out of the car!" Obviously, the valuable item Nangong Yunteng mentioned was Su Niyue.
"Ms. sir, next time you just ask for a hug. I will carry you out of the car. Hehe!"
"Please memorize it, can you?"
"Stop talking nonsense..." Su Niyue picked up Nangong Yunteng and put him in the wheelchair before she could finish her words!
"Sister is here!" Mrs. He, the prefect's wife, arrived at the gate just in time.
"Sister, just call a servant next time. Don't come out to pick us up!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Yu'er has been asking since the morning when you will arrive. If I don't come, he will send the housekeeper to Taoyuan Valley to pick you up!"
"Maybe it's because I'm too bored at home!" Nangong Yunteng would tell Huang Tingyu about things he did in the military camp every time he came. Huang Tingyu had never heard of them, and Nangong Yunteng was also willing to tell him. The two of them got along so well. .
"Sister, I brought you some gifts and asked them to move them down!"
"I'm very happy that you can come, why do you bring anything with you?"
"It's nothing, just some rouge gouache I made myself, and some food!"
"We, husband and wife, were supposed to go to the house to say thank you, so how can we let you spend money!"
"Sister, give me some rouge and gouache for your sister. Besides, my things are not given away for free. When I open a rouge and gouache store, you have to promote it well for me."
"Okay, okay, sister has already said it, so you won't be polite." He just liked Su Niyue's straightforward character.
"Come, let me see your legs!"
"Auntie, it will take a few days before I can go to the ground!"
"Give it a few more days. It's the time when your body is growing, and the injuries on your bones will grow faster. But it's precisely because you're growing that if you go to bed early, your bones will grow crooked, which will cause trouble!"
"I want to go to Taoyuan Valley!"
"I can't run away from Taoyuan Valley anymore. It's not too late to go back now!"
"Niyue, I heard people say that there will be extremely cold weather this winter? Do you know?"
"Yeah. I know!"
"So you have prepared food and charcoal for the winter?"
"Get ready. If it's too cold in Taishou, sister, you can move to Taoyuan Valley for a few days."
"When Yu'er's leg heals, I will go with him. Listening to him talking about Taoyuan Valley every day makes me want to go!"
"Go ahead and say something if the house is short of charcoal and firewood!"
"When Madam goes to Taoyuan Valley, you must take your husband with you!" The prefect entered the door with a smile, and his attitude was completely different from that of the person he was at the medicine store that day.
"Husband, why did you come back so early today!"
"It's not you Yu'er who talks about the King of War to me every day and always wants me to meet his King of War!"
"This kid!"
"Hello, Lord Prefect!"
"Hey, hey, you're welcome, I don't care if you are the King of War or not, I only know that you are my son's savior!"
Nangong Yunteng nodded slightly. He didn't know who Huang Zongming was. It was rumored that the Liangzhou prefect did not do anything and that the prisoners could just spend money to avoid forced labor, but that was all.
Although the people's lives are not good, it is not entirely the responsibility of the prefect. After all, this is Lingnan, with so many mountains and so little land that even the emperor can't do anything about it. Besides, how much money can a group of refugees have for the prefect to be greedy? Nangong Yunteng will not just Judge a person based on rumors from the outside world.
"Well, I heard from my wife that you built a village called Taoyuan Valley?"
"It's not really a village, we just hired local villagers to help us open up wasteland and cultivate land!"
"Sounds good, but I have been here in Liangzhou City for ten years, and the land here is too limited!"
Nangong Yunteng saw that the prefect claimed that he was using me and did not show off his authority in front of him, so he was willing to chat with him. Anyway, what they did was not something shameful!
"We originally planned to open a mountain. After we bought the mountain, we found that there was a lot of land that could be used, so we thought we could use that land to help people in nearby villages."
"I know that land, but it's full of miasma. How did you avoid being poisoned by the miasma!"
"The miasma is actually rotten branches and leaves and rotting animal carcasses, which breed in a humid environment all year round. Once these are removed, the miasma will gradually fade away!"
"How do you clear such a large forest?"
"We just cleaned up the entrance to make it easier to come in and out. As long as people don't enter the woods, there will be no danger!" This was the argument he and Su Niyue had discussed in advance.
The prefect nodded and said nothing more.
