Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around
Chapter 242 Guoguo expands the weaving factory and garment factory
In autumn, Guoguo only harvested the large plots of grain and left them alone. The mountain was managed by Xiao Shunzi. The school had a vice-president.
Every ten days, Guoguo attended classes for two half-days, teaching English, chemistry, and physics. The rest of the time, she wove cotton and linen, dyed them, and bought a sewing machine for the tailoring department, worth another 100 taels. The back door of the Chai residence was renovated, creating a large workshop. Chai Tao was easy to manage.
A large weaving and dyeing shed was built further north and west, integrating weaving, dyeing, cutting, and garment making. This greatly improved efficiency. Experimental weaving of fine cotton fabric was also developed, with new patterns and colors suitable for little girls. Guoguo's clothing shop has expanded. It is now accessible to everyone, with two entrances and exits, offering both affordable and high-end ready-to-wear clothing.
On this day, the Ministry of Revenue ordered 300,000 sets of winter cotton-padded clothes for the army. Guoguo personally issued an order to stop the current production. The cotton-padded clothes for the army should be made first, all of which are made of cotton. She bought 10,000 two-piece down jackets from the space and gave them to the navy. She asked the housekeeper Ye to deliver them in advance - for the Ministry of War to inspect. The outer clothes are camouflage uniforms, two sets for each person. The military boots are all leather and cotton boots. The Ministry of Revenue has bleed a lot this time. If it weren't for the confiscation of several wealthy families, there would be no money left. The first batch of navy soldiers were well treated and became famous in the capital. The equipment, food and other things they used were all good. Many people in the army camp regretted it. But they also had cotton-padded clothes, but the outer clothes were different.
From then on, the uniforms of the navy and army were distinguished.
Guoguo also received money from the Ministry of Revenue. It was a small profit, and she didn't want to earn more than the military salary. She wanted to earn less because it was worth it. Her expenses were also high. The Ministry of Revenue wasn't enough, and Ye Heng told the emperor. He didn't ask for the money yet, but owed Guoguo first. The emperor had no choice, as the money belonged to his father. If it weren't for his own private money, the national treasury would still be poor. Later, the emperor gave Guoguo his own private money.
Submarines are too expensive, so Guoguo can’t afford them himself.
Guoguo looked at Chai Tao's increasingly heavy workload and said, "Chai Tao, you should train a few capable assistants to help you. You'll never be able to finish the work even if you work yourself to death." Chai Tao: "Yes, Master, I will." Guoguo said seriously: "We have many smart children who are good at math and are talented. You can also recruit talents from the academy." Chai Tao's eyes lit up. "Okay, that's a good idea. Chai Tao, I'll remember it." She had been a little tired in the past two years. She earned a lot of money but had no place to spend it. She was thinking about finding some helpers.
Guoguo provided the solution and they did it themselves.
The children Guoguo adopted were all put to good use. It can be said that his students are all over the world.
Guoguo spent her free time sitting in the greenhouse with her son, who played in the fields with the dog. Guoguo designed winter clothes. She also started buying chicken, duck, and goose feathers, as well as cowhide, sheepskin, and pig skin, among other animal furs. The night housekeeper helped arrange the staff.
Huo Hua came to the Chai residence that day with his wife and son. Guo Guo met him in the conservatory. Huo Hua reported on the year's revenue and briefly explained how the products were selling. Guo Guo: "That sounds good!" Huo Hua chuckled. "Indeed, sales are booming. We have a wide variety of glass products and so many orders." Guo Guo: "Don't overwork yourself. Take one day off every ten days and three days a month. I'll start working again when I get back." Huo Hua: "Okay, okay, otherwise it'll be too tiring." Guo Guo then took out a glass basin and a set of glass water cups. "How do ours compare?" Huo Hua picked them up and examined them. "There's a slight difference. Not as good as yours, but you can't tell without a closer look or comparison. I'll experiment and improve." Guo Guo: "Well, this set is for you." Huo Hua: Okay, thank you, Guo Guo, and thank you, Princess. Guo Guo: "Uncle Huo, you can tease me all you want. I've been under your care since I was a child." Huo Hua: Yes, yes. Guo Guo. Guo Guo: Well, that's it.
Guoguo went to pick some fruit: durian, peaches, watermelon, and placed them on the table. "Eat, and have some tea. Try Maojian tea." Huo Hua took a sip. "Good," his eyes widened. "Good!" He sipped slowly. "Delicious!" Guoguo took out a box and handed it to Huo Hua. "This is for Uncle Huo. There's not much tea, so make do." Huo Hua: "That's good! Good! Huo Hua loves this." Such good tea is rare to find. Guoguo looked at the box of banknotes. Huo Hua said, "One-tenth is hundreds of millions of taels of silver. If I had half, it would be too much to handle! I could never spend it all." Guoguo: "I knew how to make money, but I didn't know I could make so much." Huo Hua: "This is one-tenth, your share." Huo Hua then said, "Uncle only wants half, or one-tenth of one tenth. Any more is useless." Guoguo thought about it and said, "Uncle, we agreed on ten percent, and now you only want half. I've broken my promise to you." Huo Hua: "No, Guoguo, it's not you who broke your promise. Uncle can't take so much." Guoguo: Uncle Huo's half-percentage can't be any less. You can use the money for charity, like adopting orphans, donating to schools, etc., but your half-percentage profit can't be less. Huo Hua had no choice. Huo Hua: Fine. Mine's half-percentage. I'll send the prince's tenth tomorrow. Guoguo: "The rest will go to the emperor." Huo Hua said: Yes. The emperor and the retired emperor sent both. Guoguo: Bring it tomorrow and I'll have the prince deliver it to the palace. Huo Hua said: "Okay. It's time for me to go." "I'll have someone take you there." Guoguo had someone carry the fruit out and put it on Huo Hua's cart. When Huo Hua got on the cart, he saw how much stuff was piled up! Huo Hua's wife said: "Guoguo is a lovely child. He has always had a kind face since he was young." Huo Hua: "Well, he is a rare talent. Our Dayan only has one Guoguo, and he is a capable person! I didn't follow the wrong person at the beginning, I have good vision!" Huo Hua's wife: "Yes, my husband has good vision! He is good-looking, rich and innocent." She looked at the fruits again, "The fruits grown by Guoguo are delicious!" Huo Hua: "Well, I am content in this life. I have money and can eat such good fruits. I am like a god. When I get home, I will let you taste that tea. That tea is so delicious for the first time!" Huo Hua's wife also wanted to try how delicious it was.
Huo Hua looked at the cartload of food, and only after eating it did he realize that Guoguo's gifts were the finest in the world. Later, his family went to the No. 1 shop under the Heavenly Palace for their food and vegetables, and Jiaxing carried them from the warehouse. The couple lived to be over a hundred years old, healthy, and their son succeeded him. Guoguo trusted her son, whom she had taught to be loyal and reliable. From then on, the family established themselves firmly in the capital. He still lived in the two-story courtyard, a modest and luxurious retreat.
