In mid-November, heavy snow fell in Baoding Prefecture.

Song Qingyue sent someone to pick up the goods.

Some people don't want to sell all the sweaters they've made and keep a few pieces for themselves.

There are also some unqualified products that cannot be accepted. In addition to the initial loss of training, etc., the original plan of 50,000 sets of sweaters was only realized in the end. 30,000 sets are still distributed regardless of size, and the number is not known.

Will the soldiers like it?

Song Qingyue, who felt that she had broken her trust with Li Zhao, also sent a thousand bottles of the first edition anti-dry skin care oil to the Northeastern Frontier Army.

The process of making skin care oil is actually not complicated. It is nothing more than collecting the floating objects on the water after cleaning wool, boiling it, filtering it twice, and then evaporating the water, leaving behind the wool oil.

This kind of lanolin oil has not been decolorized or deodorized, and some even retain a faint smell of sheep mutton. However, the border conditions are difficult, and no big-head soldier has no smell. With this little smell of sheep mutton, they really

Not afraid.

At this time, Li Zhao was supervising the construction of concrete bunkers in the areas west and north of the Great Wall based on Song Qingyue's design drawings.

It was her bunker design that finally convinced the emperor to allow Song Qingyue to exchange grain for sheep outside the customs.

The fakeness of this thing is much lower than building another Great Wall on the grassland. Different from modern bunkers, there is a hole on the top of the bunker that can let out the smoke, which can also play the role of transmitting messages like the Great Wall.

In addition, Song Qingyue built a road on the grassland wasteland in order to facilitate transportation in his village. This road could also be used by the army to transport grain and grass.

In this way, the imperial court actually took advantage of Song Qingyue.

The combination of several reasons made the emperor finally agree to Song Qingyue's use of grain, tea, cloth and other materials to exchange sheep with the Tatars outside the customs. Of course, Li Zhao's lobbying was also indispensable.

He hadn't seen Song Qingyue for more than half a year. Every time he received a letter from her, he would be happy for several days. He didn't expect that this time Song Qingyue would not only send sweaters, but also send such a surprise as lanolin.

"Your Highness, I said you have read this letter many times, and you can't see the flowers anymore..." Ning Yuan sat aside and ate roasted mutton carelessly and said.

"Go away and eat your mutton!" Li Zhao didn't want to pay attention to him.

Ning Yuan hummed, but refused to leave.

Every time Song Qingyue wrote a letter, he read it shamelessly. Every time the letter was written in a business-like tone, Li Zhao, a possessed guy, could somehow understand the ambiguity between the lines in her blunt words. Ning Yue was really a bit

I can't stand this fool who deceives himself and refuses to face reality.

Miss Song made it clear that she didn't have him as her future husband in her heart, and probably didn't want to marry him.

Ning Yuan said that Li Zhao might as well marry his second sister. How nice his second sister is. She is devoted to Li Zhao, and she still refuses to marry him. She insists on marrying Li Zhao even if she is a concubine.

, which caused such chaos in his family that his grandmother didn't even have the energy to urge him to get married as soon as possible.

Ning Yuan thought that if possible, he might as well marry this Song San girl. She looked like a cold-hearted woman. Even if he continued to be romantic and happy outside, she probably wouldn't care much.

He is Li Zhao's man, so he can achieve the purpose of marrying Mr. Song Ge, make it easy for everyone, and also allow his sister to get what she wants. It is simply a wonderful arrangement!

But he only dared to think about this idea. If he said it out loud, Li Zhaofei would chop him up with his sword. He finally saw that Li Zhao was really attracted to this Song San girl.

Oh, the crazy men and resentful women in this world!

Ning Yuan just wanted to roll his eyes at this.

It was so cold in the north in the winter that Song Qingyue didn't dare to just stay in a warm home. She sent her men to the newly built sheep farms in the north to urge the owners to take measures to prevent wind and heat the cattle and sheep sheds, while working non-stop.

I went to Jindi and met with local wealthy businessmen to discuss digging coal together.

What surprised her was that in this era, those open-pit coal mines were already being mined. If she wanted to get involved in the coal mining business, she would have to mine the coal mines buried underground.

However, the coal here is still quite cheap. Song Qingyue bought several carts of the cheapest bituminous coal cinders, took them to Zhuangzi in the north, and had heating pipes built.

These coals are not desulfurized, and the smoke is toxic. You can’t just put a charcoal pot in the cattle and sheep sheds, but you have to dig a ground and cross the cattle and sheep sheds to burn the coal outside. This will create a chimney effect.

Under the effect, in fact, there is no need for an exhaust fan, and the air naturally circulates in the floor dragon.

In the evening, Song Qingyue was wrapped in a thick woolen blanket and dialed the abacus. According to this calculation, not only did she not earn a penny this year, she also lost nearly 50,000 taels.

However, if we exclude the fixed costs of enclosing land, building cattle and sheep sheds, building forts, building roads, buying people, building factories, and making wool spinning machines, based on this year's profits, we will still need to work hard for another five or six years to recover the capital.

!

We need to expand production to recover costs as soon as possible!

Song Qingyue looked at her full work schedule for next year and had an unreal feeling. She was obviously the boss, so why did she still get up early and work late at night? No, this was not in line with her life ideal of lying down and counting money.

She couldn't work alone, half-tired and still unable to make any money.

She needs help!

So just after Laba, the Meng Mansion welcomed a very unexpected guest-Song Qingyue.

Now the mistress of the Meng family, Mrs. Lu, has been imprisoned in the family temple. The restless sisters in the family have also been docile by Meng Wanfeng. The power of running the family has fallen to a young man who was supported by Meng Wanfeng.

In the hands of the concubine, the relationship between Meng Zhili and his eldest daughter Meng Wanfeng has almost reached a freezing point. However, since Meng Wanfeng has been accused of marrying Li Zhu, the family, especially Meng Zhili, although they are dissatisfied, do not dare to provoke her.

she.

However, this father Meng Zha, who dotes on concubines and destroys his wife, is hypocritical and indifferent, lustful and blinding, and greedy, is sincerely afraid of Song Qingyue and treats Song Qingyue with respect.

He never imagined that his daughter, who was ostracized by the entire circle of noble ladies in the capital, would actually have a relationship with the third girl from Songge's hometown who was going to marry Prince Su's crown prince.

"It's really rude to come in public without sending a greeting card." Song Qingyue sat in the Meng Mansion teahouse, wearing a fox fur cloak and holding a pumpkin-shaped brass hand stove in her hand and laughed.

"Where, Miss Song San can come to visit and make my Meng Mansion shine, how can I think you are rude?" Mr. Meng sent people to burn the earth dragon in the main hall quickly, and also sent people to entertain Song Qingyue.
