Wang Zhonghou said quickly: "Your Majesty, after Commander Liu disappeared, the Jinyi Guards and the Inspection Department have been making secret visits, but there has been no news!"
Zhu Youde nodded: "I seem to have seen her in the crowd just now."
Wang Zhonghou was shocked and quickly took a look. There were heads everywhere under the high platform, and he couldn't tell them apart at all.
"Your Majesty may have seen it wrong!"
"Perhaps, hold on tight, you have to see someone dead and you have to see the body."
Wang Zhonghou quickly said yes!
Zhu Youde's event was very successful. After all, money was spent and the people were very excited. The event would take half a month to select the most beautiful girl!
Zhu Youde showed up briefly on the first day and then returned to the palace.
The people in Hangzhou are extremely lively. During the event, there is no curfew in the city, which allows people to take to the streets and enjoy the nightlife while fighting outside!
Zhu Youde's reputation immediately improved.
"The emperor is really wise. The weather in Hangzhou is now what it was before the war, and our business is easy to do."
"The imperial court is still powerful, and the rebels in the southeast may not be able to survive the New Year!"
In a local restaurant in Hangzhou, guests were chatting, and there were people from all over the place.
"It seems that Hangzhou has a lot to offer, it is no worse than the capital city!"
"When the rebellion in the southeast is put down, it will become more prosperous. The southeast is already wealthy, and I plan to build a factory here."
Just as he was talking, someone ran in.
"I just received news that His Majesty announced that those involved in garment making in Hangzhou will be exempted from tax for three years!"
"But seriously?"
"Seriously, the official documents have been posted. In this draft, women's color is not the most important thing, but the beauty of their clothes. Your Majesty will give you a name for the beautiful clothes!"
The speaker patted his chest and said: "The news has spread. Huafu. Now those beautiful clothes are being targeted. You can't afford to rob them. What are you waiting for here? If you can find the person who made the clothes,
, wouldn’t it be great if we set up a factory later?”
"Ouch, wait no more, hurry up and grab people, the most talented people come first!"
"I'm leaving now. We'll meet again next time!"
"Together, together!"
In a blink of an eye, the restaurant owner was on the verge of tears. All the wealthy people had fled.
The next day, people all over Hangzhou were talking about it, and the excitement was no worse than the first day.
"The old woman who lives next door to me is usually very poor, and she is good at making clothes. Last night, several high-ranking officials came to her house and begged her to work at their house. The one she gave was a lot!"
"Give what?"
"Houses, money, and cars. Those high-ranking officials from the capital don't even blink an eye when it comes to giving away money. Just an old woman, she is willing to give one thousand taels, one thousand taels a year!"
The woman who spoke looked unbelievable and looked at the other people around her.
"Do you think an old woman is worth a thousand taels? People who usually need help from everyone will get it right now."
"Xu is a relative!"
"No, that old woman and her relatives have stopped interacting with each other for a long time!"
"Is this...really a thousand taels?"
"I've seen all the money. I usually take good care of her, so Granny Huang sent five hundred taels of silver to my family early in the morning, and even took my daughter with her to make money!"
The woman was very proud and deliberately lowered her head to straighten her very clean clothes.
"It's true that good people are rewarded. I helped her without any intention of repaying her. She gave me the money and said that there was no repayment. I said no, but she threw the money away and said she didn't want it. Then
what can I do?"
"hiss……"
Listening to the hissing sounds of her friends, the woman felt secretly happy. In fact, there were not as many as five hundred taels, but only one hundred taels.
But others don’t know if it is!
"Sister-in-law of the Zhang family, you are a good person, so you are blessed. What happened to Mrs. Huang?"
"Later, she now goes to teach apprentices in other people's workshops. She doesn't have to work, she just teaches the little girl crafts. She said that my daughter is skillful, so she took her with her, earning ten taels of silver a month!"
"Twelve years old, your daughter is only twelve years old!"
"I'm fourteen. I originally planned to make a date, but now I don't plan to make a date. Twelve a month a month will be more than a hundred a year. When I learn the skills like Mrs. Huang, I can make thousands a year. I can stay at home and make money.
I’ll enjoy myself too!”
There are many craftsmen in Hangzhou, and there are naturally many who are skilled in craftsmanship. Businessmen from the capital are not short of money.
Anyone who has seen people running factories in the capital will know that talent comes first, and the labor of a girl in the capital is expensive, so why don’t we lower the price!
Do you think that if you have money, people will puke you?
This time when they heard the news, these merchants took action. Setting up a factory required court procedures, but robbing people did not.
First hold the talents in your hands, then wait for the factory to be approved. Once the factory is built, you can start work directly. All you make in a minute is money.
And because Hangzhou is in great demand for garment-making talents, talents with superb skills are especially in demand.
Soon employment agencies appeared, specializing in introducing good craftsmen to bosses and helping them recruit people.
The local girl immediately became valuable. Now when you are walking on the road, don't be afraid if someone comes to ask. These people are asking if they can make clothes.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how, these people will introduce you to learn!
The clothes worn by the women in the Hangzhou talent show have become treasures in the eyes of merchants.
On the contrary, those women who participated in the draft were disappointed. The emperor did not choose concubines. Then wouldn't their beautiful looks be worthless?
"Ms. Zhang, please!"
Zhang Ruoxue turned around and saw a businessman looking at him with a smile, and suddenly felt upset.
"What's the matter?"
"Ms. Zhang, I'm willing to pay five thousand taels for your clothes. If you don't have enough, I'll add more!"
"..."
The local tyrant said: "Ms. Zhang, I have come to see you three times. Why don't you give me a count?"
"Not for sale!"
"Stop joking!"
Zhang Ruoxue looked at the merchant: "Maybe you can let me enter the palace. If you have a way, I will give you these clothes."
Wang Yuan was confused. He looked at Zhang Ruoxue and nodded: "The emperor and I have met before, but His Majesty is not doing it for the draft this time!"
If you don’t have a talent show, what kind of courtesan is there?
Zhang Ruoxue felt tired: "Your Majesty, isn't he lecherous? Am I not good-looking?"
Wang Yuan nodded: "It looks good."
"As long as you allow me to see His Majesty, I will give you all the clothes and the patterns!"
Wang Yuan was overjoyed.
This woman probably doesn't know how much the patterns on these clothes are worth.
Wang Yuan quickly agreed and then thought about it, it would be better to go to Wang Zhonghou for this matter.
People like Zhou Chaozong were definitely not willing to give women to the emperor.
He is a civil servant and has integrity.
But Wang Zhonghou was not someone he could see. After thinking about it, Wang Yuan had an idea and went to find Lin Changxin.
As soon as he told Lin Changxin his plan, Lin Changxin was speechless, but he thought it was okay!
