Chapter 183 The Little Crybaby and the Rough Handsome Man 14
Luo Yan carried Xia Xi halfway and then halfway, and Xia Xi fell asleep halfway through.
The sound of her snoring later in the journey made Luo Yan realize that his wife had fallen asleep... and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Luo Yan was helpless and afraid that she would fall, so he gently held her in front of him and protected her as he went down the mountain.
I was going to train her, but ended up training myself instead...
Luo Yan was both angry and amused, and couldn't help but slap Xia Xizhi's little buttocks twice. Xia Xizhi hummed delicately, arched her face into Luo Yan's arms, adjusted her posture, and continued to sleep.
Luo Yan's heart almost melted, his eyes full of doting.
My wife is too young, so I can only pamper her. There is no other way. I have to take my time with the physical training...
When they arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, he gestured to the servants to keep quiet and went straight to the bedroom with Xia Xizhi in his arms.
After entering the room, Luo Yan personally washed Xia Xizhi's body, changed her into a nightgown, and noticed the blisters on her feet, so he took a needle and pricked them for her.
Xia Xizhi hummed unconsciously, and her pink toes curled up slightly.
Luo Yan's eyes suddenly darkened as he held the little foot. He suppressed the restlessness in his body, covered Xia Xizhi with the quilt, and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower for a full half hour...
.....
On the other side, Xia Wanzhu, who had returned home to do her skin care, became more and more angry. She clenched her hands tighter and tighter, wishing she could crush the bottle of rose essential oil in her hand.
Today on the mountain, Liang Bolin nodded and said nothing after listening to her explanation, but it was obvious that he did not agree with what she said...
This damn vixen only uses some shady methods!
Xia Wanzhu's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
She thought Xia Xizhi was weak and incompetent, and posed no threat to her at all, so she didn't even bother to pay attention to her.
Unexpectedly, she still has some means, and she can even be pampered by the ruthless Luo Yan. Even Liang Bolin has a gap with her because of her.
She actually looked down on her sister whom she had always looked down upon.
Xia Wanzhu's face was grim and her eyes flashed with fierceness. If this bitch dared to block her way, don't blame her for being cruel and ruthless.
Thinking of something, Xia Wanzhu sneered again.
Relying on beauty, you can only gain temporary favor. To put it bluntly, you are just a man's pet.
If the critical moment really comes, Narāya will definitely abandon her without hesitation.
In the end, she will still die miserably, and she will only be proud for a moment.
But she is different. She will prove her excellence. She is not a woman who depends on a man to live.
She will let Liang Bolin know what kind of woman is truly worthy of his appreciation.
Thinking of this, Xia Wanzhu put down the essential oil and started thinking about making money in business.
She had actually already made up her mind to go into the imported fabric business.
With her past life experience, she naturally knew how to make a lot of money without any risk...
The fabric business has made a lot of money in the past few years.
The current domestic fabric production tools are backward, and producing a piece of cloth is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
However, foreign countries have already used more advanced machines to produce it, and the cost is extremely low, so the price is naturally many times cheaper. If we import foreign fabrics and sell them domestically, we will make a huge profit from the price difference...
This sales method dealt a heavy blow to the domestic fabric business, causing some low-level workers to lose their jobs. In the previous life, due to the impact of foreign imported goods, many people starved to death after losing their jobs.
But Xia Wanzhu looked completely indifferent, even curling her lips in disgust.
Those people who lost their jobs could just find other jobs, or start some small business. It's not that they lack the ability, and they probably don't study in their daily lives. Such people who don't strive for progress deserve to be eliminated by the times.
......
In the next few days, Xia Wanzhu began to import fabrics from abroad through various connections.
Because Luo Yan was there, Xia Xizhi didn't dare go to Zuixianlou again.
It just so happened that she had some free time and was ready to make money.
Thinking about this era, it is expected that a large number of imported foreign products will be dumped in the country in the next two years, making it more difficult for ordinary people in the country to make money and making their lives even more difficult.
For example, business related to imported fabrics...
Xia Xizhi frowned slightly. Since she was here, it would be a good deed if she could do what she could to save some innocent lives.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up and he quickly entered the space while Luo Yan was away.
Looking at the textile machines of this era in the warehouse, Xia Xizhi's lips curled up.
The reason why her space has the most advanced looms from the Republic of China period is because in her previous life, Xie San performed a Republic of China drama and she was the producer. She bought these machines and then put them in the space when they were not needed.
I didn't expect that she would use it in this world...
With these machines, we can absorb some unemployed people in the textile industry and teach them to operate the machines. Domestic production and domestic sales can lower the price, which will also effectively suppress imported fabrics.
In addition, unemployed female textile workers with more sophisticated skills can be trained and used to make pure handmade fabrics.
There is still a big difference in the texture of machine printing and hand embroidery. We can absorb these talents to go the high-end fabric route and sell it exclusively to the upper class and wealthy people.
Xia Xizhi drew up the factory design and asked Wei Yu to help recruit workers to build the factory on the Dongpo land that Xia Zhan gave her.
"Ma'am, my eldest brother happens to be in the construction business. Can I let him do this?"
Wei Yu felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained,
"Well, my eldest brother has been working in construction for over ten years. He was responsible for building the west courtyard of our Marshal's Mansion. He has a lot of people under him and is very experienced."
Xia Xizhi nodded. "Don't be embarrassed to recommend the best, I'm confident in hiring people I know. Please ask him to come over as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll send someone over right away!" Wei Yu immediately stood at attention and replied.
......
three days later.
There was unrest in the western part of Luan Province, with bandits rampant. The people were suffering terribly. Girls didn't even dare to go out for fear of being caught in a bandit's lair.
Luo Yan personally led people to suppress the bandits and is expected to return in at least two or three days.
Xia Xizhi took advantage of his absence, disguised himself, and went to Zuixianlou at night.
This happened to be when Qingyu was pinned to the ground and bullied by several men.
"How dare you seduce the person I like? Who do you think you are!" The rich second generation sitting on the chair stepped on Qingyu's face and trampled on it.
"How about this, if you bitch try to get into my crotch, I will spare you." After saying that, the rich second generation laughed out loud, and the people around him laughed too.
Blood oozed from the corners of Qingyu's mouth, and he refused to beg for mercy as if he was ready to die.
This attitude made the rich second generation lose face immediately, "You are looking for death!"
"All of you, beat them to death!"
The woman kneeling beside him cried and hugged the rich second generation's thighs.
"Master Zhao, please forgive Brother Qingyu. As long as you forgive him, I am willing to serve you. You can serve me in any way you want. Please let him go..."
