Chapter 116 A word is final
When the two returned home, it was time for lunch.
Yunqi and the other two who went into the city had not returned yet. Yunxi was surprised to see people sitting in the dining room and eating.
"Chen Tian, why are you here?"
"What are you asking, little girl? Master Chen came to send someone to us, but you disappeared." Xi pretended to be angry.
Yun Xi suddenly realized and looked at Ying Tianchen, "Have they sent everyone here?"
Ying Tianchen nodded, "Yes, I'll leave it all to Butler Cao, a total of 228 people."
There are only more than 200 people. When I heard him say there were a lot of people before, I thought there were at least or people. After all, there are more than or rooms in those rows of houses, and I thought they were all full before.
After dinner, Yun Xi went to meet those people.
She thought she was going to see a group of people with missing limbs, but it turned out to be different from what she imagined.
"Is this what you mean by disabled?" Yun Xi asked speechlessly.
Ying Tianchen didn't understand why, "Yes, they were all injured to some extent before, but they are all good at their work."
Yun Xi nodded. Many of them just had a broken finger or a scar on their face, which were minor disabilities that were not serious.
There was not a single one with missing limbs, but there were a few who were unsteady on their feet, and that was the most serious.
These people seemed to be quite old; at least half of them looked to be around 40 years old.
In this age when 50 is considered old, 40 is indeed not considered young.
"Don't they have any family members?" Yun Xi asked in a low voice.
Since Yun Xi spoke softly, she was worried that he couldn't hear her, so she moved closer.
Ying Tianchen's heart tightened at the sudden approach, and he coughed lightly and said,
"Yes, they were taken in here because they had no family members. They all signed the living contract voluntarily. I have given the indenture to Butler Cao, and he will give it to you later."
Yun Xi nodded, "Then how did they live in the past? I'm asking about eating and so on. Did they cook together or did they take care of themselves?"
"We eat together. There are special cooks who cook for us. There are cooks among them. They will arrange this themselves. Their food will be delivered."
Yun Xi was surprised, "You also brought food with you?"
"I didn't bring them. The food originally belonged to them."
"I see, thank you very much."
Yun Xi looked at these people, got familiar with their faces, and then walked back with Ying Tianchen.
"By the way, why didn't I see the First and Second Young Master Yun today?" Ying Tianchen asked.
Yun Xi replied, "My eldest brother and his friends went to the city to buy a shop. My second brother should be visiting nearby places. I want him to see if there are any bamboo forests or sugar cane."
Ying Tianchen was not surprised that they wanted to buy a shop. The Seven Stars Restaurant in Xiemu County was doing so well, so it was normal for them to think of opening a restaurant in this capital city.
but.......
"Why do you want Second Young Master Yun to look for bamboo forests or sugarcane?" Ying Tianchen was very curious.
Yun Xi then told her that she wanted to start a workshop.
Ying Tianchen praised, "Miss Yun is really amazing. She can actually make soap and sugar, and she can also make paper."
Yun Xi said, "Yes, I know all of these. Do you want to join in? I tell you, these industries will definitely make money in the future."
"I couldn't ask for more. However, there is already a paper mill in Guangxin City."
Yun Xi asked, "Is this your property?"
"No."
"So what do you mean?" Yun Xi didn't understand whether he wanted her not to run a paper mill, or he was worried that they wouldn't make money even if they had a paper mill.
Ying Tianchen said, "This paper mill has a very good business. Almost all bookstores in the city use their paper. If you want to compete with them for business, it will be very difficult."
"It doesn't matter. If you can't do business in this city, then do business somewhere else. I believe that as long as the product is good, there will be a market. As long as it's something I can do, it's fine."
"That's not the case. Miss Yun can do what she wants."
After a pause, he asked again, "Miss Yun just said that she would take me to participate in the business. Is this true?"
Yun Xi said, "Of course it's true."
With him, the prince, such a powerful backer, she doesn't have to worry about anyone causing trouble.
Even if they make a lot of money at that time, no one would dare to take advantage of them.
Hearing her affirmative answer, Ying Tianchen raised the corner of his mouth, "Okay, then it's a deal."
"It's a word."
She had originally planned to only build one workshop, but now that King Nan has joined in, she doesn't have to make a difficult choice. Why not build a few more workshops?
The two of them walked back home slowly, and Yun Yan was already back.
"Brother, you're back. You must be hungry. Let someone prepare a meal for you."
Yun Yan greeted Ying Tianchen first before replying, "I've eaten. I just finished."
When I heard that he had already eaten, I asked him if he had any catch that day.
"I went around nearby villages and asked the locals. There are a lot of bamboo forests in Guangxin. Two villages are full of bamboos, and bamboo shoots are their specialty."
Yunxi's eyes lit up when she heard this, she loves eating bamboo shoots.
"There is also sugar cane, but not much. As for the beets you mentioned, no one knows about them. No one has ever heard of them."
"It doesn't matter if there are no sugar beets. It's the same if there are sugar canes. Second brother, send someone to get some sugar canes and we can grow them ourselves."
Yun Yan agreed, and did not ask Yun Xi if she knew how to grow crops. In his opinion, there was nothing that his little sister could not do.
"There are also bamboo forests. Let someone bring some back as well."
Yun Yan still nodded.
"It seems that this sugar-making workshop is temporarily out of business, but we can start making saponin soap and paper. I will experiment first, and then build a workshop as soon as I succeed."
"Then when will we write our cooperation contract?" Ying Tianchen asked.
"Wait until I make something and show it to you."
"Okay, then I'll do as you say."
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Yu Fengfeng came in to remind Ying Tianchen that it was time to go back.
"Master, you still have official business to attend to. You have to go back."
Ying Tianchen glared at Yu Fengfeng. This guard was just a spoilsport.
He was of course aware of what he was reminding him of. It was not some official business, but someone had handed him a visiting card and was going to visit him today. He had to go back to meet the guest.
But he didn't want to leave yet. Miss Yun said yesterday that she would cook for him later, but he didn't know if she would cook for him directly if he didn't leave today.
If the person who came today was not important, he would not want to go back to meet any guests.
He looked at Yun Xi and hesitated for a while. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he felt a little disappointed.
"I have official business today, so I'll leave first."
After he finished speaking, he was seen sitting in the chair without moving.
Yun Xi stood up quickly, said goodbye to him, and said to Yun Yan, "Second brother, please see Chen Tian off."
She had something else to do, so she didn't go to see her off.
