A lot of things happened in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi. Book fans also like to read:.
First, Nan Huairen, who was old and frail, finally couldn't bear the pain and passed away peacefully in the heavy snow at the beginning of the year.
Later, Feiyang Gurong received the emperor's favor and was promoted to the first rank of infantry commander, and his salary was increased to 260 taels per year. The threshold of the mansion was really stepped down by the congratulators.
Then the two brothers Qi Ke and Qi Chen lived up to expectations. In the autumn of this year, they both passed the imperial examination and successfully became reserve officials of the Qing Dynasty. If they work harder in the next joint examination and palace examination, they will be honored.
It is not difficult to get into a new subject.
Jin Xi can imagine that if the number one scholar in both civil and military subjects comes from his own family, the expression on Cheap Dad's face will definitely be more exciting than if he himself was promoted to the first rank.
"How can you tease your own Ama like this!" Minrong glanced at Jinxi with a smile. Seeing that Qi Ling, who was tired from playing, had fallen asleep on her shoulder, she raised her index finger towards Jinxi and put down Qi Ling.
After Ling, mother and daughter came to the main room, drank tea and chatted.
It was the dry season of autumn, so Jinxi poured a cup of lavender tea for Minrong. She asked Xia'er to bring a pot of hot water to make lemon slices.
Since the flower fields cultivated in Xiaotangshan had a great harvest, she had reserved enough for making aromatherapy, and specially asked Yinzhen to recruit a master who was good at making tea, hoping to bake several herbal teas that would be well received by later generations.
Since I didn’t know if my family would like it or which flavor they would like, I simply chose the more famous lavender, rose, jasmine, chrysanthemum, lime, etc. The first batch came out in small quantities, but it was enough for my family to enjoy.
Unexpectedly, after tasting a few cups at "Miyu", Yinzhen decided to purchase a certain amount of herbal tea from Jinxi to promote it as a new tea drink in Xiangji.
Jinxi made some calculations. If the flower field in Xiaotangshan has a good harvest, there will indeed be a lot of flowers and plants to supply aromatherapy. It is not impossible to set aside some specially made herbal tea to supply Xiangji. But the climate in the capital is not great.
Well, if there were a few violent storms, most of her flower field would be destroyed.
He simply told Yinzhen about his hidden worries. Yinzhen seemed to have thought about it for a long time and made a suggestion without saying anything: "Why not move to Shuntian Mansion? Don't you also have to buy sandalwood? Sandalwood is heavy.
It's a waste of money and money to travel, so it's better to simply relocate the entire Miyu base there. The climate conditions there are better than those in the capital. In this way, more flowers and plants suitable for growing in hot and humid environments can be added, and the entire Miyu base can be eliminated.
Those crazy dog eyeliners who haven’t given up yet.”
Yinzhen's words gave Jinxi a great inspiration.
She has always believed that the closer the production base is to the store, the better, so that she can save a lot of unnecessary expenses and she can visit it anytime and anywhere.
But after what Yinzhen said, she suddenly understood. Yes, transporting sandalwood also requires expensive costs. What's more, sooner or later, the Miyu base in Xiaotangshan will be discovered by interested people and come to cause trouble. It would be better to
It moved entirely out of the capital.
However, Shuntian Prefecture, which is Guangzhou in later generations, is too far away. Won’t future transportation fees account for a large cost?
"How stupid! You don't think about it, you can set up the main store in Shuntianfu. As for the capital or other larger areas with higher consumption, you can set up branch stores, transportation and the like.
If it is carried out by people directly recruited by our side, how can the cost be higher than that of transporting sandalwood by the escort agency?"
Jinxi thought about it for several days, and finally made a plan with Yinzhen and Qingsui to move the Miyu base.
The affairs of Shuntian Mansion were naturally left to Yinzhen for both of them. Qingsui could only concentrate on research and development. Fortunately, she was alone. It didn't matter where she went. Her aunt's family in the capital had completely chilled her heart. Therefore, book fans also like
Look: As soon as Jinxi mentioned it, she readily agreed.
Nowadays, Qingsui has successively developed several fruit-aromatic aromatherapy furnaces and aromatherapy essential oils. The purity of various essential oils is also more pure and fragrant than at the beginning. The cost has actually been reduced. In this way,
The profits from Miyu are even more impressive.
Jinxi took out the accounts of Miyu for the past two years. After deducting all costs and expenses and the dividends distributed by the three shareholders at the beginning of the next year, he still saved 1,280 taels of silver. It was originally intended to be used for the expansion of Miyu Aromatherapy Shop.
It's paved. Now, it's time to expand the base directly.
At first I thought the amount was quite large, but when I thought about purchasing a thousand acres of land in Shuntian Mansion and building a large aromatherapy workshop and scented tea workshop, as well as a courtyard where the owner lived when he went on inspections, staff dormitories, canteens and other places, it was obviously
Overstretched.
Gritting his teeth, Jinxi took the lead in taking out all his current private money, three hundred and fifty taels of silver, and Qing Sui also took out eighty taels. Finally, both of them looked at Yinzhen.
Jin Xi couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "Um... Fourth brother, there shouldn't be any risk, right?" Although these are not considered hard-earned money, they are still the fruits of their hard work over the years.
Yinzhen laughed and shook his head, "Come on, put away all your belongings. If there are not enough, I will buy more."
How can you be so embarrassed! Jinxi and Qingsui shook their heads together and pushed the pile of silver they were reluctant to spend randomly to Yinzhen's hand.
In the end, it was Yinzhen who took the lead, and the three of them expanded their capital for the second time. Yinzhen paid out one thousand taels at a time and became the majority shareholder of the three, accounting for 50% of the shares. Jinxi and Qingsui each accounted for the remaining half.
Naturally, they were concerned about Qingsui’s technology investment.
As a result, a new honey talk base was established through a simple and decisive meeting and discussion between the three of them.
As a result, Jinxi simply planned to restore the Miyu base in Xiaotangshan to the nature of a farm. He would grow some rice, flour, fruits and vegetables to provide a stable supply to the mansion kitchen and "Fruit Language", saving a lot of expenses for both.
After half a year of finishing work at the Xiaotangshan Miyu base, the Shuntianfu base has been roughly completed. Of course, there is no rush to build the main courtyard and scented tea workshop for the time being, and will prepare to slowly proceed with the aromatherapy cultivation base and production later.
The workshop has been successfully completed and the relocation is just around the corner.
Qing Sui selected two of the most capable men and women from the previous group of boys and girls to be her right-hand assistants in the future. The others were appointed by Jin Xi to be the management team leaders of each process group. They were also recruited in the capital.
We have recruited a group of orphans and widowers who voluntarily went to Shuntian Mansion to make a living. There are still some places left, and we plan to slowly expand them after they have settled in Shuntian Mansion. There is no rush to recruit people, and if you want to be careful, you can only wait and see.
Take your time.
By the time New Year's Eve arrived in the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign, Jin Xi's rules had almost been learned.
After more than a year of inspection, Grandma Xing felt that the big princess of the Ulanala family was really talented. It took her girl at least a month to learn to sew a piece of clothing, and she could do it in ten days.
Moreover, the sewn clothes are no worse than the sample clothes sold in clothing stores.
If Jinxi hears what Grandma Xing thinks, she will definitely complain: This is the result of her delaying as much as possible. If she is allowed to exert herself as much as she wants, she can make a set of skirts popular in the Qing Dynasty in less than a day.
As for her cooking skills, Grandma Xing is even more worry-free. No matter what she says once, Jinxi can remember it and draw inferences about other cases. After tasting several medicinal meals prepared by Jinxi,
Grandma decided not to waste time on this. She decided to teach Jinxi some secret moves for self-defense.
It was nothing more than evil tricks that often appeared in palace fighting dramas. Jinxi listened with great interest. Even if he had no intention of harming others, it would be good to learn some techniques to defend against others.
For this reason, she respected Aunt Xing even more from the bottom of her heart and felt that Aunt Xing really did her best.
"Xi'er, I hear what your Ama wants. I want to keep Nanny Xing as your dowry nanny. I would like to hear what you think." A few days after New Year's Eve, Nanny Xing has not yet been reunited with her former master.
After returning, Minrong came to Yingxi Xiaolou to have a heart-to-heart talk with her daughter, holding Qi Ling in her arms.
If she hadn't even had a maid as a dowry when she got married, how could Jinxi have lacked the supervision of a close mother?! Fortunately, her daughter is well-behaved and sensible, and has been able to take care of her personal belongings in an orderly manner since she was a child. She doesn't need this at all.
Mother is worried.
But the guilt in my heart still hasn't diminished one bit.
As long as her daughter's request is not excessive, she will fully support it. Now that the master has made this proposal, she believes that she needs to follow her daughter's opinion. If her daughter feels that Grandma Xing is too strict and unreasonable, then the candidate to marry Grandma will naturally be
It would be someone else's. Anyway, there are still at least two or three years before my daughter is to be chosen to get married, so there is no rush to make a decision right away.
"Aunt Xing? She is very good. But Niang, my daughter doesn't need to decide on a dowry now, right? Isn't there another possibility of entering the palace as a palace maid?" Jinxi silently reminded Yi Niang, don't
Naturally, equating her small choice with marriage would cause her to collapse.
She accepted the eleven-year-old child labor. But the eleven-year-old bride... Mom, what kind of world is this!
Hearing this, Minrong glanced at her daughter strangely, "Didn't you listen to what my mother told you last time? The emperor will definitely make the decision for you."
No way?! Kangxi, you must be too lenient with your control! Jinxi looked at Minrong dumbfounded, suddenly thought of another aspect, and couldn't help but ask: "Eniang, is it possible that the emperor wants me...
…Um, what is that?”
"Silly daughter!" Minrong understood Jinxi's question, and immediately nodded her forehead in a fit of laughter and tears, "Since the emperor has promised you, Ama will definitely find you a good home, so he will never leave you as a
Concubine. Besides, where did you hear this from? Think about it, Wai Wai? How could the emperor accept someone who is two rounds younger than him?"
Jinxi curled her lips. Now she felt that it was unbelievable that he was two rounds younger than him. In the future, when Kangxi and his elders were in their fifties or sixties, wouldn't they still have a girl of thirteen or fourteen squatting in the harem to serve him? That would be more than that.
There are two wheels, three wheels and four wheels.
Seeing that her daughter started to have convulsions silly again just as the master said, Minrong couldn't help laughing, "Okay, don't think so much. Anyway, your Ama will take care of it for you, so you can just learn the rules from Grandma Xing with peace of mind.
