Chapter 98 Become famous
The next day, Shen Rou continued to reconcile the accounts at Yunrou Porcelain Workshop. At noon, Xu Yang and Ye Qing came over. "Miss Shen, there is wasteland outside Yunzhou, but next to the Qilian Mountains, there are about thirty acres of wasteland. Because it is close to the mountain, it is all barren land. There are rocks and small trees in the land. It can't grow food and has been abandoned."
"How much is one acre?"
"One tael of silver per mu."
Shen Rou took out five hundred taels of silver from her space and handed it to Xu Yang, saying, "Go buy this wasteland tomorrow and find a craftsman to build the house. I'll draw the blueprints."
"Miss Shen has too much money."
"Don't we still need to build a factory? I'll leave it to you to handle. If it's not enough, tell me."
"Yes."
"Ye Qing, have you found any progress on the fabric and cotton issue?"
"Cloth and cotton can be ordered in Yunzhou. Large quantities will take several days to ship to Yunzhou. But it's difficult to order so many pairs of animal fur boots here."
"You can ask someone to order it. Money is not a problem."
"In Youzhou. It's cold there, and there are a lot of animal furs for sale, and they're cheap."
"Send a message to your master and have him send someone to order it. I'll pay for it."
"Miss Shen, you should write the letter and I'll send it over. The master will definitely send someone to handle it as soon as he sees your letter."
Shen Rou paused for a moment, "That's fine."
She pulled out another eight thousand taels of silver from her space and handed it to Ye Qing, instructing him, "Ye Qing, take these banknotes and pay for the cloth and cotton. Also, notify the heads of the surrounding villages and ask them to gather the women in their villages who can make clothes and have them make cotton-padded clothes for us. A set of cotton-padded clothes will cost you twenty wen. The more you make, the more you get."
"The more people, the better. We need to make 100,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes as soon as possible and send them to the military camps before the New Year so that the soldiers can have new clothes to wear during the Spring Festival."
"The most important thing is that the sleeves should be long and cover the hands, so as to protect the soldiers' hands from the cold."
Ye Qing took the banknote and said with a bow, "Miss Shen is really thoughtful. I will go and pay the deposit for the fabric and cotton right away."
The next day, Xu Yang bought the wasteland and hired builders. Shen Rou searched for the factory building's blueprints and designs on the computer in the space, and the builders began to build the factory building according to Shen Rou's requirements.
Shen Rou went to Tanxi Village, and her uncle gave her the accounts and profits of the past three months.
When the aunt learned that Shen Rou made 100,000 cotton-padded clothes and gave them to the soldiers in the barracks, she was shocked.
In front of Shen Dashan, she muttered, "Husband, do you think Xiaorou is stupid? How much silver does a hundred thousand sets of cotton-padded clothes cost? And she just gave them away without any hesitation."
"If you gave half to our family, we would have become rich. My heart bleeds just thinking about it."
"Wife, Xiaorou has her own plans. You just need to do your own thing. You don't have to worry about other things."
"It breaks my heart to think that so much money is gone. We've worked so hard for over three months to take on so many orders and only earned a little over a thousand taels of silver. She just waved her hand and took at least several thousand taels of silver. She worked so hard for over a year to earn money, and it's gone in an instant. Isn't it heartbreaking?"
"If Xiaorou didn't have that much money, she wouldn't have taken on this porcelain job. So if we don't have the brains for it, we shouldn't even think about things beyond our capabilities. It's better to just focus on our work."
"You're her uncle, can't you give her some advice? Earning money isn't easy, you can't just squander it like that. Save some for the future."
"She has her own ideas, stop nagging her and get to work."
"You're such a blockhead! How could I have lived with you for more than ten years?"
"If you hadn't lived with me, would you have had the good life you have now? Would you have worn the cloth bestowed upon you by the Emperor? You would still be squatting in some corner, eating bran, pickled vegetables, and steamed buns."
Zhang laughed foolishly and said, "That's true. If I don't live with you, I won't be able to benefit from Xiaorou and become the county lady's aunt."
"So people should be content with what they have. Don't always think about unnecessary things. In the end, it will be all in vain and hurt both yourself and others."
"Yes, yes, you are right, alright!"
"Second brother, I wrote a letter a while ago asking Xiaorou to come home for the New Year this year and get a few more travel permits. He and his wife, as well as his father and Xiaomei's in-laws, will also come over to work."
"After all the trouble during the New Year, how could Xiaorou let Xiaomei and her husband come to Yunzhou? Wouldn't that just make things difficult for herself?"
"That's why Mom didn't tell Xiaorou because she was afraid she'd be angry."
"Xiaomei is such a jerk. She made such an embarrassing scene during the Chinese New Year, and now she has the nerve to come to Xiaorou's shop to make money. It's acceptable for one person to come, but what's the point of her family coming here?"
"This must be because her mother-in-law heard that Xiaorou's business was getting bigger and bigger, and she wanted to shamelessly come here to make money."
"Xiaoyue also mentioned in her last letter that she wanted to come over next year, but I don't know if Xiaorou agrees."
"Husband, when you have time, ask Xiaorou if she agrees. If she doesn't agree, don't force it, or it will become awkward."
"I see."
Shen Rou didn't know that her eldest and second cousins, Shen Mei and her family, wanted to come to Yunzhou. After checking the account book, she returned to the city.
A few days later, the necessary cloth and cotton were shipped to Yunzhou. At the same time, the village heads also led the villagers to collect cloth and cotton to make new clothes.
At this time, there was no farm work in the villages and nothing else to do. Every household was idle at home chatting. When they heard that they could earn twenty cents by making a set of cotton-padded clothes, women who knew how to make clothes joined in.
At the same time, the battle in the Youzhou military camp had already started in full swing, and Shangguan Yunting and several generals were discussing military affairs in the military tent.
Han Lin waited until they had all discussed it before handing him Shen Rou's letter. "Master, this is a letter from Princess Furong."
After the generals left, he couldn't wait to open the letter and read it. He immediately smiled and said lovingly, "The girl I like is really different. She knew it was cold in Youzhou and asked someone to make 100,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes and trousers. No other girl in the capital could match her courage."
"Making 100,000 sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers also used up all her savings from the past year."
"Han Lin, send someone to Youzhou to order 100,000 pairs of sheepskin boots. I'll use my personal money to buy them. They'll get better and better, and try to get the soldiers into new clothes and boots before the New Year."
"Master, weren't the new cotton-padded clothes distributed at the beginning of winter? The soldiers wore them out immediately, so where would they get new clothes?"
"Xiao Rou asked someone to rush out 100,000 sets of cotton-padded jackets and trousers, and they were delivered quickly."
Han Lin looked at Shangguan Yunting in disbelief and said in amazement: "This is not a small amount of money. Princess Furong is truly admirable."
Shangguan Yunting smiled indulgently, "Of course, she is not someone that any ordinary girl can compare to."
"Quick custom leather boots."
"I obey my orders."
Shangguan Yunting read the letter over and over again, smiling as he murmured to himself, "Rou'er, when the war in Northern Yan is over, your three-year mourning period will be over. Then I will ask my brother the Emperor to grant us a marriage. I will marry you openly and honorably as my Princess Mu."
A few days later, Manager Sun ordered people to deliver cotton clothes to Youzhou in the wind and snow.
Shen Rou looked at the records in the account book, her heart filled with joy. Not only did she provide the soldiers with warm cotton-padded clothes, but she also helped the common people make money, and her shop became even more famous.
Whether it was the "Yunrou Porcelain Shop", "Shen's Breakfast Shop", or orders for instant noodles, they kept coming in, leaving her no time to take care of them, and everyone was also very busy.
Now the people of Yunzhou City praise Shen Rou for her beauty and kindness, and the emperor personally named her the county lord, which is well deserved.
Even the emperor, who was far away in the capital, was full of praise when he learned that Shen Rou had single-handedly purchased new clothes for 100,000 soldiers and solved their problem of keeping warm.
He sat on the magnificent dragon throne, his sharp eyes swept over the ministers, and a steady and powerful voice came.
"Even at such a young age, Princess Furong cares deeply about our border soldiers. She even went so far as to provide cotton-padded clothes and trousers for 100,000 soldiers in Youzhou. This is a role model for everyone. I hope that all of you can also do your bit for the soldiers of Great Qi, just like Princess Furong."
Who among the ministers dared to say no? They all donated money to raise military pay for the soldiers on the battlefield, but they didn't dare to be stingy enough. They made donations despite themselves, and cursed Shen Rou countless times in their hearts.
Shen Rou was still unaware of her fame, and was busy supervising the construction of the factory and the production of cotton-padded clothes every day. Her conscientiousness and responsibility were recognized by the people of the entire Yunzhou City, and even the prefect came to visit her in person.
With the joint efforts of everyone, 100,000 sets of cotton-padded clothes were finally completed and delivered to the military camp on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month.
