Chapter 546 Killing two birds with one stone

The light in the coffin shop was very dark and a bit eerie, and Cuihua lit a lamp.

Under the dim light, Li Chenan looked around.

This shop is quite big. There are four dark coffins in the shop, and then there is nothing else.

Cuihua took Li Chenan and Li Chenan to the west wing of the backyard, put the oil lamp on the table, and met the young embroiderer. His expression and words were not very enthusiastic.

"Sit down, I don't have tea here."

Li Chenan sat at the table and suddenly had some doubts about Li Jingsi's background——

He thought that the Lijing Department was a special department directly under the emperor.

This department also has extremely huge special rights!

It stands to reason that in such a department, subordinates would be full of awe towards their superiors, but what he saw in Cuihua's eyes was impatience.

There was no awe at all, and I even wanted him to leave quickly.

What's happening here?

"I am the Embroidered Clothes Envoy who has just taken office a few days ago. I am the bronze agent in charge of the entire Guangling Prefecture!"

Cuihua sat opposite Li Chenan, with a touch of sarcasm on her slightly sallow face: "It goes without saying that you have just taken office a few days ago."

"Is it because of Yaoguang that I left only a few days ago?"

"No, Yaoguang is not the embroiderer of Guangling Prefecture, she is the bodyguard of a big shot above! We have not had the embroiderer of Guangling Prefecture for... three years!"

Li Chenan was stunned, "Why?"

"Haha," Cuihua glanced at Li Chenan, "Why else? The boss has not issued a penny of monthly salary for three years. The horse needs to eat grass and the person needs to eat. Do you understand this principle?"

Instead, he was taught a lesson by this yellow-haired girl, but Li Chenan instantly understood the hidden meaning hidden in the words of his handsome father-in-law in his backyard a few days ago——

It turns out that this is the real reason why Guangling Prefecture was supposed to have a full complement of 800 people, but now only about 60 people are left!

It turns out that this is also the reason why he said that the probation period will take a year, and if he recruits enough people, he will have to figure out how to pay these people's monthly salary.

This is his trick!

"Let me ask you, do we people in Lijing Division enjoy great rights?"

Cuihua raised her sparse eyebrows, "You can't use this power to grab money, so what's the use of this power?"

Li Chenan felt relieved, "Then why haven't you quit Lijing Division yet?"

The little girl's cheeks quivered and she said angrily: "It's not because of my grandpa!"

"...What happened to your grandpa?"

"When he was dying, he passed the sign to me and said that with this thing, no one would dare to bully me. He said that he could still earn two taels of silver a month and there was nothing to do, so he just kept it.

This coffin shop left by our ancestors can be used to live comfortably for a lifetime!"

"I really believed his evil deeds!"

"With this bad brand, no one dares to bully me, but since I joined Lijing Division, I have never seen anyone give me two taels of silver every month!"

"The business of this coffin shop is not good. If I hadn't been guarding the temple next door to get some pilgrims' incense money... I, I would have starved to death!"

Li Chenan's eyes widened and he asked cautiously: "How long have you been joining Lijing Division?"

"Three years!"

The little girl also stared at Li Chenan, stretched out her little hand and held out three fingers, "Three years, do you know?"

"I'm only fifteen years old!"

"I am already the oldest bronze agent in our Guangling Prefecture!"

The little girl sighed angrily and looked at Li Chenan with pity, "You are not a fool, how could you join the Lijing Division?"

"It's still a silver medal... Do you know that a silver medal is different from a bronze medal? A silver medal can never be withdrawn from the Mirror Division!"

"...What happens if you quit?"

"What do you do as those eight masters of the Presbyterian Church? They specialize in collecting silver medals like you!"

"That's probably how the previous embroiderer died!"

Li Chen'an was speechless. He sold himself to Lijing Company without signing any contract or getting any benefits!

Eunuch, indeed there is no good thing!

Looking at the new embroiderer, the little girl showed a heartless smile, "Sir, don't worry about anything. After all, our brand of Lijing Division is still very strong. What is missing is

That means people and money!”

She leaned over, her little face full of expectation: "Sir, it's actually easy to find people. After all, there are many female knights in the world, and they are different from those male knights."

"At least they won't kill people for no reason, and they won't sing like crazy and drink and eat meat like those male knights, and they won't go to brothels."

"So such women want very little and have little appetite. Two taels of silver a month is enough for them to live a good life."

"Grandpa said that when Lijingsi was in its glory days, Guangling City held an annual celebration meeting at Huaping Lake. The scene... was full of young and beautiful girls carrying swords on their backs, flying from the lake shore to the painted boat in the center of the lake. It was simply...

The celestial spirit flutters and makes countless young talents bow..."

"Sir, I believe that with your ability, we can restore the glory of our Guangling Prefecture Mirror Division branch in the past!"

Having said this, the little girl stared into Li Chenan's eyes and asked again full of longing: "Since you dare to take over the position of embroiderer, you must have extraordinary abilities and wealth. Money, wealth,

Ability is not too important, wealth is the most important!"

"May I ask your surname, sir?"

Of course Cuihua is looking forward to it.

But it's not the glory of the past, but three years!

Thirty-six months, twenty taels of silver per month, that’s a full seventy-two taels of silver!

With this large sum of money, the gouache that Rouge Tower in Guangling City has been envying for countless times can be bought as much as it wants!

And the beautiful skirts sewn in Tailor Xue's shop are also my favorite.

Looking at the young man in front of her, she felt as if she had already seen the money in vain.

"My name is Li Chenan."

The little girl's eyes suddenly opened wide.

He swallowed, pursed his lips, and asked again: "Which Li Chenan?"

"That's the Li Chenan who was kicked out of the house!"

The little girl still stared into Li Chenan's eyes, but the light of hope that had been ignited in her eyes gradually extinguished.

She slowly sat up straight, slowly withdrew her gaze, looked at the light on the table, and murmured to herself:

"I finally know why you became the embroiderer."

She stood up slowly and said, "There is a pilgrim in the Four Temples next door. He looks very handsome. If you want to ask me something, can you wait for me to get some of his incense money?"

"That's very important to me, otherwise I won't be able to open the pot tomorrow. This coffin can be chopped up and used as firewood, but it can't be eaten!"

What can Li Chenan say?

He is also a victim!

"I'll give you two taels of silver first, and then let's have a nice chat about Lijing Division, how about it!"

The little girl sat down decisively, stretched out her little hand, and smiled happily: "Excuse me, sir. I will tell you everything I know!"
