Then Liu Haojia led a group of people to inspect the soldiers' internal affairs, restaurants and other places, and this was the end of the trip. And he was very satisfied with the work of the two of them and Guo Zhankui!
Afterwards, he was full of questions and prepared to rush back to ask Miss Zhang. But when he got home, the housekeeper told him that Miss Zhang had gone out and would be back before dinner. So he asked me to take part of the official work and review it in the study.
But not long after, the study door was pushed open. Liu Haojia knew that Miss Zhang was back. Because I heard that the study was a confidential place, no one dared to come in directly. That is, Miss Zhang dared to push the door directly.
Liu Haojia raised his head and saw Miss Zhang walking in. Behind her, Cai Luan held a pot of hot tea and two teacups on a tray. Only when he saw the tea did he feel that he was very thirsty. He took the tea handed over by Cai Luan and found that the temperature was just right, so he drank it all in one gulp and said with a smile: "Thank you for thinking of me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it." Well, I’m so thirsty! The butler didn’t even say anything about bringing me a pot of tea when he saw me coming in!”
Before Miss Zhang could speak, Cai Luan said first, "Miss knows that there are many things in my uncle's study, so no one is allowed in. Usually, Miss and the maid do the cleaning themselves."
Miss Zhang smiled and said, "You can't blame the housekeeper. My brother just came back and the housekeeper hasn't received the notice that he can enter the study, so he didn't dare to send anyone over."
Liu Haojia took Miss Zhang's hand and sat down and said, "You have really worked hard during this period! Also, I heard that you went out to visit those workshops, why did you come back so early?"
Ms. Zhang said: "Things are indeed a bit complicated. If you don't keep an eye on it every day, problems will always arise. Fortunately, everyone in charge is already familiar with the process, and it's a lot easier now!"
When he came down and saw that Miss Zhang was silent, he said jokingly: "As for why I came back early, I must be thinking about my uncle!"
Miss Zhang blushed when she heard this and pretended to hit her, but Cai Luan ran out laughing all the way. Liu Haojia grabbed Miss Zhang and didn't let her leave. After asking a few questions, the matter naturally moved to the workshop. Listening to Miss Zhang's narration in a soft voice, Liu Haojia realized that he already had a considerable fortune in Tianjin City.
Now he has a feed mill, two pig farms, and three chicken farms on hand, mainly to provide meat for the army. There are also an iron smelting workshop, a firecrackers workshop, a gun casting workshop and a gunpowder workshop, as well as a blacksmith shop, which mainly provide the army with long and short firecrackers, artillery and other items that require iron tools.
He also has a garment workshop and a leather-making workshop in his hands, which mainly provide military uniforms, leather boots and other leather materials for the military. Let me also explain that all the managers and workers in the garment workshops are women, and they are all relatives of the soldiers.
There is also a quarry and two kilns, which mainly provide stone and fired cement. In addition, Ms. Zhang also mixed stocks in many shops that were used. There were not many stocks, but it was enough to affect the direction of the business. Read the book
And there is also a school under construction. He also assigned his servants as teachers. It is mainly targeted at children of soldiers and relatives. And everything taught is practical knowledge. When these children get older, the talented ones will be selected for further education, and the others will be added to the various industries controlled by the Liu family.
There are too few people who can read these days, and the only ones who can read are difficult for Liu Haojia to use, so he can only cultivate them slowly by himself. Moreover, the servants of this school are also responsible for literacy education in the army. In Liu Haojia's eyes, they will all be reserve officers in the future, so we must seize the time to give them enough education.
After Miss Zhang finished the introduction, Liu Haojia hurriedly poured a cup of tea and sent it over, saying, "My sister, you have worked really hard during this time! Thank you very much! If there was no sister here to take charge, I am afraid these things would not be settled!"
Miss Zhang smiled slightly when she heard the compliment and said, "It's not hard to help my brother, but the money is spent like water and I don't know when it will be over! And the court doesn't have a penny. If this goes on, I'm afraid I won't be able to make ends meet!"
Liu Haojia said: "Don't worry, sister, about this problem. In less than three months, we will no longer be short of money! By the way, tomorrow brother will not do anything, but will accompany my sister everywhere."
Get better and have some fun! How about it? "
Miss Zhang glanced at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother is quite scheming. The only places where you can play with me are in various workshops, right?"
Liu Haojia slapped her legs and laughed when she heard this. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a knock on the door! Liu Haojia heard the voice and said with some displeasure: "What's the matter?"
Then I heard the butler's voice outside the door, saying, "Second Young Master, there is an unknown person who wants to see the Young Master! But he came with Jin Yiwei's badge!"
At this time, Liu Haojia suddenly remembered that Wang Hongrui had not shown up after two days since he came back. This was a bit unusual! Originally, he wanted to scold him when they met, but now it seems that he may have bitten something serious? Maybe this person was sent by Wang Hongrui to deliver the news!
Thinking of this, he said to Miss Zhang: "Sister, please sit here quietly. Brother, come as soon as you go."
When Liu Haojia followed the housekeeper to the front hall, he saw a man standing here. He was wearing ordinary people's clothes and had a huge bamboo hat on his head, which completely covered his face.
The butler handed over the badge in his hand and said, "Second Young Master, this is the person who wants to see you. But when I asked him his name, he didn't say anything. He just handed over a badge."
Liu Haojia took the badge and saw that it was indeed Jin Yiwei's badge and it was not fake. He waved the butler to leave, and then said: "Who are you? If you have anything to do, come to me."
The man did not speak. He waited until the housekeeper's footsteps disappeared before taking off his bamboo hat, kneeling down and saying, "Your Majesty, Wang Hongrui has met!"
Liu Haojia had already made a guess in his mind, so he was not surprised and said directly: "Get up and talk! But first you should tell me why you are dressed like this?"
Wang Hongrui stood up and said, "Sir, that person named Cui is going to run away!"
Liu Haojia's face darkened when he heard this, but he still said calmly: "Sit down and talk, be more detailed!"
After thanking Wang Hongrui, he sat down and began to talk slowly. It turns out that Cui Junyong has relaxed a lot since Liu Haojia left. But he still kept trying to transfer him, but there was still no news. He even asked the Master Council for help, but to no avail.
