Chapter 346 Help, Binzhou starts fighting again

"I want a large quantity, 10,000, and it would be best if all of them can be completed within ten days."

"what?"

As soon as Shen Xiangwan finished speaking, not only Mrs. Wan, but the other women in the family couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Even if that thing had no technical content, it would be an impossible task for them to make 10,000 of them within ten days, right?

Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan said quickly, "Aunt, here's my idea. You can make some today, and then take the samples to the villagers tomorrow. We will provide the silk and cotton, and ask the women in the village to help make them for a few cents each. There is strength in numbers. In this way, it is estimated that within ten days, 10,000 pieces can be made. What do you think?"

Of course, she could also go find the villagers herself. Didn't she have other things to do? Thinking about it, she still felt that it would be most appropriate to let Wan Shi come forward. As for Zhao Yuping, she was just like Ji Shaohan. Her whole heart was on Yun Mengyi. How could she have the time to help her do such a thing?
"Okay, let's do it first. There's no need to wait until tomorrow. I'll go find someone in the village this afternoon and try to finish it for you as soon as possible."

Wan agreed without thinking, since they were free anyway, and as for sewing bags, they could do it after they finished making these linings for her.

"Then I'll trouble you, Auntie. I'll have someone deliver the silk cloth later. The cotton may come later as we don't have much stock left at home."

Cotton is still a rare commodity in Tianqi Country, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it. The ones at home are the leftovers from Zhao Yuping and her friends making bags. She will arrange for someone to go to the county town to buy them when she returns later.

"it is good."

Wan pinched the lining in her hand and looked at the two wine glasses and the bamboo box: "Are you going to sell the glass wine glasses to the public?"

The host family would never forget any good things they had, so they also had wine and glass cups. She heard that drinking wine properly every day could beautify the skin, so she and the adult women in the family would have a sip every night. Although she had only been drinking it for a few days, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she always felt that she slept better at night and was more energetic during the day than before.

“It’s not for sale, it’s for giving away.”

Shen Xiangwan briefly told them about the sale of wine. "I'll go back first if I'm fine. Auntie, I'll trouble you with the lining."

"No problem, I promise to do it properly for you."

Wan replied briskly, and Shen Xiangwan smiled and said goodbye to everyone else before picking up the bamboo box and leaving Wei Jingyi's house with Yuanyue.

The matter of wine glass packaging was basically arranged. When Shen Xiangwan returned home, she immediately asked Yuanyue to deliver the silk cloth to Wei Jingyi's house, and asked someone to go to the county town to buy cotton. She went back to her room and entered the space to do research. She did not go downstairs again until almost noon. Qingying happened to come back from outside with a letter in her hand.

In a blink of an eye, it is already mid-March. Binzhou has been peaceful for several months, but war is about to break out again. This is the first time that Wanqi Shan has clashed with the rebels since he took over Binzhou. Anyone who has any ideas will divert their attention there. It would be fine if the Binzhou army can defeat the rebels, but if they lose again, wars will probably break out in all parts of Tianqi Country, and the country will officially enter an era of warlords fighting for power. By then, the people of the world will be the ones who will suffer the most.

"Tsk tsk... If he loses, the dog emperor will probably vomit blood again. However, he should win."

The inquiry seemed doubtful, but the tone used was affirmative. Shen Xiangwan also knew that the foundation of the rebel army was still too weak. Compared with the real regular army of the court, it was not as good as a little bit. The reason why they were able to win in the past was entirely because they happened to have the advantages of time, place and people. Wanqi Shan was not Xiong Tiancheng. He was a general who could really fight and win battles. Moreover, Wei Chengyi also said that in his previous life, which he was familiar with, the war in Binzhou was settled because Wanqi Shan stood up to turn the tide.

"Ah."

Qingying did not deny that the outcome of this battle was basically no suspense. The only thing worth paying attention to was how far the rebels could fight. Not long ago, the Second Master had personally contacted the leaders of the rebels and promptly advised them to guard against arrogance and impatience. The people they had planted in the rebels were already military advisors, so they should not suffer too badly. For them, it would not be a good thing for anyone to win, and it would be best to let them continue to stalemate.

"Knock down!"

"Come in." There was a sudden knock on the door. The two looked up at the same time and saw Yuan Xiu walking in with two wine glasses. "The boss is here too, Madam. These are the wine glasses I made this morning. Take a look and see if they are the style you need."

"Ah."

Pei Ji took the goblet and looked at it over and over again: "Hmm... It's OK, it's about the same. It's a gift, so the quality is OK, there's no need to be too particular."

According to her request, the word "gift" is printed on the bottom of the cup, which cannot be seen unless you look carefully, and does not affect the visual enjoyment at all.

"Okay, then I'll let them do a lot of it."

Having said that, Yuan Xiu nodded to Qingying again, turned around and left the small study. Even though he has been staying at home all the time, he has no less things to do than Qingying and the others. At present, he is in charge of the glass workshop, cement workshop, snowflake salt workshop, and charcoal mining that have not been announced to the public. This is also the reason why Wei Chengyi asked Qingying to stay at home when he went out this time. He really can't handle it all by himself.

Afterwards, Shen Xiangwan chatted with Qingying for a while about the Binzhou battlefield, until the little cub brought Xiaobai to call them for dinner, and the two ended their conversation.

"Wanwan, I've delivered the boxes I made today to you. Should I bring them in or send them to the warehouse?"

At two quarters past the twilight hour, Zhao Dashan personally drove an ox cart to the Wei family. The cart was filled with woven bamboo boxes, at least a thousand of them.

"Send it to the warehouse."

Shen Xiangwan, who had just come out of the space, personally went out to greet him and took him to the warehouse: "Uncle San is really quick, how many are here?"

"Eight hundred. Some cannot be pulled. We will pull them all together tomorrow. Now many people in the village are making these bamboo boxes. My third brother is also a smart guy. He announced that he would charge eight cents for each box and give one for each one he made. Everyone is so happy."

Walking side by side with her, pulling the ox cart, Zhao Dashan said without hiding anything.

"I never knew that Uncle San is quite talented as a businessman."

Shen Xiangwan didn't mind at all that Zhao Dajiang made a profit from the price difference. It was a skill for a person to get others to do the work for eight cents each. There was nothing to worry about, as long as they could complete the quantity she needed according to her requirements.

"As long as you don't mind."

Zhao Dashan seemed sincere, but he was actually testing her attitude. Rather than letting her hear it from others and feel uncomfortable, it would be better for him to tell her first. Seeing that she really didn't mind, he felt relieved.

"hehe···"

Glancing at him sideways, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh. What was the big deal? Was it worth his careful testing? As long as they didn't deliberately harm her, she didn't mind letting them make a little money. She still had this kind of heart.
