After becoming an imperial merchant and taking over the palace's business, the goods that will be shipped every month will be indispensable.
In terms of manpower, the workshop currently has 400 workers, which is sufficient for the time being.
In terms of raw materials, herbs are easy to say, and Mr. Lin can help buy them from other states and bring them to the convoy, but other raw materials, such as flowers, fruits, milk, beeswax, etc., need to be paid more attention to.
Xu Yinyin asked people to find a group of beekeepers and flower farmers to cooperate.
As for the most important essential oils.
The six people in Cuizhi have been making essential oils non-stop. Last winter, they rushed out a lot of essential oils, including plum blossoms, citrus and other seasonal flowers and fruits. The cooperating flower farmers sent them and they were all made into essential oils. There is still enough for now.
use.
Spring is coming soon, and the flowers are indispensable.
But Xu Yinyin thought carefully and decided that it would be more convenient to grow her own flowers and that she could get more varieties.
Now that spring has begun, the weather is just right for planting, so Xu Yinyin bought a hilltop not far from Xiaohe Village and planned to grow flowers specifically. She also hired a few farmers who were good at growing flowers to take charge of the matter.
Half of the flower seeds were found by someone, and basically all the flowers here are available. The other half, exchanged by Xu Yinyin and Tongzi, are mostly things that are not available here. Try to see if you can grow them.
If it can be grown, the workshop will be able to produce more varieties of products in the future.
…
The registration notice for the county examination was posted, and all those who were going to take the county examination should go to the county ceremony room to register between the 22nd and 24th.
Applicants for the county examination must be from the county of the state, and impersonation is prohibited.
In addition, the five candidates must guarantee each other's financial status, and must have a local student from the county as a guarantee. The candidate himself and the candidate's father and ancestors must not have any stains. It is also stipulated that the father and ancestors must not be untouchables.
There are more than 20 students in Fang's Academy, five of them and one guarantee, which is exactly five groups. There is no need to find someone alone.
Early on the morning of the 22nd, Xu Dajun, Fang Congyun and their classmates went to the county government office and lined up to sign up.
Last year's childbirth examination was not held, but this year, there were quite a lot of people who came to sign up. They came early, and now there was already a long queue at the county government office.
After waiting in line for a long time, it was their turn.
Each person received a registration form and filled in their name, place of origin, age, appearance, etc. in their own hand. After completing the form, they handed it over to the ceremonial officer together with the five-person mutual protection treaty and the certification documents of the residents of the county.
I just waited until the day of the exam to come and take the exam.
After leaving the county government office, Fang Zian looked left and right and said: "After studying for many years, the day has finally come to prove myself. I hope all of you can be on the list! Let's go to Wangshu Pavilion and listen to some tunes to relax.
?”
The first half sounds like that, and everyone is nodding secretly, but what the hell is the second half?
Everyone looked at him sideways and said, "Go on your own!"
"Go home and hurry up and read a book! Everyone will be successful later, but I am not on the list. Will my father punish me by kneeling in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights?"
"Let's go!"
After a while, only a few people were left in the place.
Fang Zian waved his hand, "The exam is so stressful, so it is necessary to relax properly! Come on! Let's go!"
Xu Dajun looked at Fang Congyun, "We are going to the study to buy test baskets!"
Peng Ruiyuan and Ma Yulin also said they wanted to go back and review their books.
Fang Zian could only turn his attention to Dong Shuangqi.
Dong Shuangqi immediately raised his hand, "Don't look at me, I won't go either!"
"Okay! One by one, huh, boring!" Fang Zian raised his chin, angrily, and walked away.
Seeing him leaving, several people also dispersed. Xu Dajun and Fang Congyun walked side by side and went to the study in Yangliu Lane together.
On the way, Fang Congyun told Xu Dajun in detail about various things that need to be paid attention to in the county examination to prevent unnecessary accidents and failure during the examination.
The exam is coming soon, so you should be very careful in the past few days not to eat bad food, not to get sick, and not to wander around to prevent accidents, etc.
Xu Dajun couldn't help but wonder, "Oh my God, this guy is definitely the male version of Xu Yinyin."
Do you know how detailed Xu Yinyin's knowledge can be every time before taking an exam? That is to check the weather forecast using several software and compare it to strive for the most accurate.
What's more, for fear of being affected and delayed until the exam, I ate a standard nutritious meal every day from the week before the exam, and didn't eat any extra junk food.
In the past, he often muttered that Xu Yinyin was a lunatic. As for that, forget about the college entrance examination, but no matter what exam, she was like this.
No one has this kind of self-control.
He also said that there is no one like Xu Yinyin. Well, now he has met one.
"Yeah, yeah, I understand, I'll take note of it." He nodded seriously, no matter what Fang Congyun said, he should be fine.
Anyway, I have to listen to Xu Yinyin repeat it again.
Fang Congyun saw that he was nodding like he was talking, and quickly finished what he had to say, so he stopped talking. He was secretly amused in his heart. It was a bit too trivial, but it was always appropriate to be prepared for a rainy day. He didn't like to do things, didn't he?
Prepare.
Presumably, it was because my grandfather fell ill in the examination room during the provincial examination and missed out on being a successful candidate. Before the examination, he considered the aspects more carefully.
After so many years of hard work, looking at the present day, he will definitely move forward and gain fame, and he must not fail due to other reasons.
…
Hu Pingye had been busy for so many days, but his ability to do things was pretty good. As for the things on the list, he got back one-third of them.
Xu Yinyin collected them one by one, and the exchange opportunities increased steadily.
But no matter how much it goes up, I can’t help but use it.
The county exam is coming soon, and Xu Yinyin, as an elder sister, also hopes that her younger brother can take the exam with peace of mind and do well in the exam.
For those who were backward in all aspects in ancient times, it was not easy to take an exam.
Take the county examination as an example. There are five exams in one exam. For each exam, you have to go to the examination room for roll call before dawn. One exam lasts one day.
This is the easiest path to the imperial examination. After that, you will have to stay in the examination room for several days.
The exam is a must. What she can do to help her brother is to let him eat well in the exam room.
You usually need to bring your own food for exams. I heard that hot meals are sold in the exam room, but they are expensive and not very tasty, so it is better to prepare them yourself.
What are you preparing for?
Xu Yinyin also asked about it. In addition to verifying the identity before entering the examination room, they will also check the things brought by the candidates to prevent contamination. For example, if you bring steamed buns, you will have to break them into pieces.
Just thinking about it makes me tut, so how can I eat it?
So Xu Yinyin thought, just leave it broken.
Sesame paste and dried meat. Drink the sesame paste with water to keep you full and nutritious. Chew the dried meat to replenish your physical strength.
Just these two kinds, it is enough to take them with you for one day of exam.
But she would get tired of eating the same thing for five games, so Xu Yinyin exchanged it for meat floss and rice cereal.
This is all clear at a glance, and there is no need to trample it to read it, and there is no way to hide the cheat sheet.
And it's quite satisfactory. You can feel full after eating it, but it won't break your stomach.
We can’t forget that we brought Fang Congyun along with us. We also brought along Fang Congyun, and we had to bring along our little cousin Fang Yuxing. And Dong Shuangqi, his brother from Tsinghua University, Fang Zian? Ma Yulin?
...We are all classmates...
Xu Yinyin looked at the hard-earned exchange opportunity, gritted her teeth, and decided to do it herself!
