Qiao's Cloth Workshop, in the accountant's room!
Under the candlelight, Su Wan 'er, who was dressed in purple, was doing two things with her fair hands!
She glanced to her left and flipped through the account book with her left hand.
At the same time, his right hand skillfully fiddled with the abacus.
Finally, he closed the account book and stretched.
The shopkeeper at the side smiled and praised,"Young Madam is getting faster and faster!”
"Shopkeeper Zhao, you flatter me." Su Wan 'er smiled faintly.”
Hehe!
"Young Madam, you're too modest!"
"We've seen Young Madam's improvement.”
"Not to mention me, even the weavers in the workshop praised Young Madam.”
Hearing this, Sun Wan 'er was still very happy.
After more than a month of hard work, he had finally paid off!
In fact, her family was not involved in the cloth business, and she did not understand many of the industries.
But in order to take on the responsibility of the Young Master, in order to fulfill Ye Feng's filial piety, she even went to the workshop herself and worked in front of the loom for a period of time.
At that time, all the weavers 'eyes lit up.
Jiang Prefecture's famous number one beauty and number one talented woman had actually personally operated the loom. She was completely shameless.
Soon, she gained the trust of all the employees in the cloth workshop.
Now, she had the final say in the business of the Ye family's cloth workshop.
Naturally, her parents-in-law felt much more relaxed.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, stop praising me. This is what I should do.”
"Today's profits are not bad. Tell everyone to work hard. The Ye family will not mistreat everyone.”
"Alright, I still have to go to the rice store to take a look.”
Shopkeeper Zhao immediately cupped his hands.”
At the entrance of the cloth workshop, Su Wan 'er felt the dazzling sunlight as soon as she lifted her foot.
The climate in Jiangnan was mild, and it was only now that it began to heat up.
"It's half of April. Spring has passed and summer has arrived.”
"Jiangnan is starting to heat up. Wouldn't it be even hotter at the northern border?”
Thinking of this, she looked to the north, in the direction of Yanmen Pass.
As she read on, her shapely eyebrows furrowed slightly.
At this moment, Xue 'er held up the paper umbrella and said,""Young Madam, from tomorrow onwards, let's take the sedan chair!”
"Your snow-white and tender skin won't be able to withstand this sun.”
Su Wan 'er looked at Xue' er and said seriously,"Compared to hubby, this is nothing.”
"Put away the umbrella. I'm not that delicate.”
"But…"
On the other side of the door, Ye Xiaorou saw this scene and revealed a gratified smile.
Young Master is blessed!
"Xue 'er is right," she interrupted as she walked over,"Young Mistress, you can start sitting in the sedan chair tomorrow!"”
"If Young Master comes back and sees that you're tanned, he'll be so heartbroken!”
While speaking, Ye Xiaorou walked over.
Sigh!
Su Wan 'er sighed." But when I think about how husband trained under the scorching sun and fought in hunger and cold, I feel like I'm going to die.”
"I feel bad."
"Young Madam, you don't have to be like this." Ye Xiaorou smiled faintly.”
"Young Master, what are you doing this for? What are the soldiers at the front line doing this for?”
"It's so that their wives and children can live comfortably in their hometown.”
As she spoke, Xue 'er held up the umbrella again and said,"Sister Qingrou is right. Even if Young Madam is doing this for Young Master, she has to do well.”
Yes!
After hearing what they said, Su Wan 'er understood.
The war could not continue. There was still a long way to go!
If her husband became a general and she became an old woman, then they would not be a good match.
"Right, Qingrou, how is the quality of this batch of silk?”
On the way to the rice store to check the accounts, Su Wan 'er thought of serious matters.
A few days ago, she asked Ye Xiaorou to go to the nearby mulberry farmers to buy silk.
Because of Ye Xiaorou's martial arts, besides being a bodyguard, she could also be an escort.
In any case, Jiang State Capital's security was good, so there was no need to follow him around at all times.
Since he was back now, he must have bought it and sent it to the workshop, so he could just ask about the quality directly.
"The quality is even better, but the price of each catty of silk has been reduced by ten wen.”
Hearing this, Su Wan 'er immediately stopped in her tracks.
The servant girl might not understand, but she did!
The sudden sharp drop in the price of raw materials must have been caused by the market.
"Let's go to Xi City!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and left.
"Aren't you going to the rice store?"
“......”
When they arrived at Xi City, Su Wan 'er indeed found something suspicious.
Many Hu merchants were loading their carriages and camels.
It was different from the past. It was simply a one-time deal.
Su Wan 'er walked up to an old Hu merchant who had been buying goods from the Ye family's cloth shop for a long time and asked politely,"Uncle Zhaxi Zhuoma, are you leaving?”
The old Hu merchant touched his chest with his right hand and bowed."Respected Young Madam Ye, we have to leave!”
"Your country's city envoy has issued an emergency notice. The trade routes in Lingzhou Province, Shuozhou Province, and Youzhou Province have been completely closed.”
"In another half a month, Jade Gate Pass will be closed.”
Sigh!
"I won't say anymore. Young Madam Ye, goodbye!”
Oh!
"Farewell, uncle. Have a safe journey!" After Su Wan 'er came back to her senses, she quickly returned the greeting.
A moment later, Su Wan 'er understood!
She should have thought of this two days ago. The orders of the Hu merchants outside the pass had increased greatly. They had almost bought up all the silk produced.
It was not just their family's cloth workshop that was like this. All the cloth workshops suddenly had their business double.
It turned out that all the trade routes in the north had been closed, and only the Jade Gate Pass, which led directly to the Western Regions, was left.
They were preparing to collectively go through the Jade Gate Pass to sell the silk to the best-selling Western Regions.
This was the rhythm of making a killing and eating for three years!
All signs indicated that war was about to break out!
Closing the trade route was equivalent to closing the foreign economy!
This was definitely the final step, a step that he would not take until the battle began!
At the thought of this, her heart tightened, and she went straight home.
At home!
" Father! Father!"
"The price of silk dropped by ten copper coins per catty, and a large number of Hu merchants have left.”
"In the north, all the trade routes that pass through the Great Wall and Northern Plains have been closed.”
"Is this a war?"
"Yanmen Pass is the first to bear the brunt, right?”
Ye Qing looked at his anxious daughter-in-law and could not bear to tell her the truth.
He hadn't said anything these days just so she wouldn't worry.
But this daughter-in-law was too smart. She knew everything.
"Yes!" he said seriously.
"Once the war starts, Yanmen Pass will be the first to bear the brunt!”
