In Jiang Hongxuan's view, although Nuanxiang Pavilion ultimately belongs to Dachu's industry, after all, most of it is not produced in Dachu.
Even if we cooperate with the Cangming Kingdom, it will be transported from the Hongwu Kingdom. There is no reason to transport it all the way from Dachu to increase the time and cost.
And the business in this area is naturally Guiyan Shiqing.
Since the two countries also want to sign a trade contract, it will naturally require other merchants from Dachu to transport other things to sell, instead of just relying on the goods from Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Not to mention, the items from Nuanxiang Pavilion are now exclusively distributed to the Lian Mansion. Even if merchants from Da Chu are willing to wholesale goods from the Hongwu Kingdom, they cannot go beyond the Lian Mansion.
Yan Shiqing smiled when she heard this and said: "How is it possible that no one is doing this business? I still have a lot of things in Dachu that can be sold here. If nothing else, let's take Antelope City as an example."
When Chu Ximo heard her talk about Antelope City, he was surprised and said: "Qingqing, do you mean to sell sea buckthorn fruits and wolfberry seeds?"
If it's Antelope City, they only produce these two things there.
He also knew that after they came out this time, Shiqing handed over the domestic sales rights to Concubine Lan.
However, if these two kinds can be transported and sold, it will increase people's enthusiasm for planting.
Yan Shiqing nodded slightly when she heard the words: "Well! A lot of sea buckthorn and wolfberry have been planted in Antelope City in recent years. The climate for planting these two things is particular. So far, these have not been found in Hongwu Kingdom. And I
Apart from Antelope City, there are other places in Dachu, but not many. If you want to grow these well and have good-quality fruits, you can only plant them in that area. Sea buckthorn fruits and wolfberry are rich in many good things for the human body.
Things. If the overseas market can be opened, then the entire Antelope City and even several other cities that have been desertified can be planted on a large scale. This will not only solve the desertification problem, but also increase the income for the people..."
After all, Jiang Hongxuan is not optimistic about these two things. Not only are these two items shipped overseas for sale, but even in Dachu, everyone may not be able to accept them.
"Besides these two, are there others?"
Yan Shiqing saw his disapproval and did not continue the topic, so she said: "Now the production of glass kilns in Dachu is much better than that of Hongwu Kingdom. At present, it seems that these things have not appeared in Cangming Kingdom.
, I think Campbell's glass technology did not come from here. We improved on their basis. If we can ship those out and sell them, brother, do you think it can't be sold? What do you think about our Dachu glass production?
When it comes to things made of glass, Jiang Hongxuan is still a little worried: "Those are good, but now the cost is high and fragile, which means the risk is high. In this case, businessmen may not be willing." yyls
Yan Shiqing lowered her head and thought again, and it was indeed the same.
The cost of things made from glass so far is not low. If a businessman is asked to spend so much money all at once to start such a high-risk business, they may not be willing to do so.
After thinking about it, she suddenly said: "What do you think about the food business? The climate here in Dachu is very cold for a long time. People in Jifeng Town, almost every household can make bacon, sausages, etc.
The food tastes good. Those can only be made when the weather is cold. What do you think about transporting those here?"
"There are some differences between the food here and those in Hongwu and Dachu. As for whether they will accept it, I'm not sure. But what is certain is that maybe the people of Hongwu will accept it to a higher degree."
Jiang Hongxuan said, his eyes fell on the tea cup on the table, and said: "Hongwu Kingdom sells tea, but we, Dachu, can make people brew it and sell it."
Yan Shiqing really hadn't thought about this. She was stunned when she heard this, and then asked: "What kind of wine?"
Since she traveled through time, she rarely touches these, but she also knows that there are some kinds of wine in Dachu, and it is said that they are pretty good.
Rice wine and glutinous rice wine were too expensive for the original Chu people, so most of them were sorghum and millet wine.
Just by smelling Da Chu's sorghum wine, she also knew that it was somewhat different from modern liquor. At least the wine was not that strong and not that refreshing.
"Millet wine, millet wine and sorghum wine are all fine, what do you think?"
When Jiang Hongxuan said this, his eyes fell on Chu Ximo.
"Let's not rush this. After signing the contract, we can go back and ask the Ministry of Rites to organize the various royal merchants and ask them to come out to see the situation here and in Hongwu Kingdom. If they want to make money, they will naturally find ways to do this.
It doesn't matter if no one does this business in the end. The Nuanxiang Pavilion on the Shiqing side and the glass kiln on the Dachu side can be dealt with to some extent by just these two. Then things will become scarce.
Because it’s expensive, it doesn’t matter if you have less stuff.”
When Jiang Hongxuan heard that he wanted to start a glass kiln business, he said: "I'm afraid the glass kiln business won't work..."
"There's nothing wrong with it. Not to mention the glass kiln in the capital, it belongs to Rongcheng. It also belongs to Shiqing and your third aunt, my aunt. My aunt is the shrewdest person. For her, she can make a lot of money in business.
How could she miss it? It's just a matter of cost. She has a large share of the entire glass kiln, and she can afford to pay for it even if it breaks. You know, there is no foolproof business in this world."
"In that case, I won't say much. Instead, I will let people come to the Cangming Kingdom to open a few restaurants and a few pharmacies. Turn around, the bacon and other things that Sister Shiqing said can be sold to me.
Restaurant. Anyway, try it first and see if it works. Just spend some money. What if it becomes popular? Maybe it can be like a farm-style stir-fry and promote the sale of some hot sauce or something like that."
Yan Shiqing didn't think much about it, and just said: "Brother, I saw that the proprietress of this inn seemed to like those rouge and gouache. I looked at their skin color, at least the people here are not very white, maybe
Maybe our facial mask will be very popular here."
"What do you mean, you want to open a Nuanxiang Pavilion here?"
"It still doesn't work. I don't have enough capable people, and I don't want to expand too fast. Just use Hongwu Kingdom and Dachu as the business center. I'm just giving you a suggestion. The facial mask is mainly for you and Gan
Mom is doing it, including elephant gallbladders and so on. If it is done well, at least the lives of the villagers in Yangjiacun and Ruanjiakeng will be better and better."
As soon as Jiang Hongxuan heard about Xiang Dan, he suddenly remembered something and said: "Sister Shiqing, I think of what else I can sell, essential oils. Do you still remember that jasmine? I have already had someone refine it, and I can still sell it by then."
These things. Many spices are dominated by jasmine essence, which is what you said before."
Yan Shiqing also had her own jasmine perfume made. When Jiang Hongxuan said this, she said: "Then it will be okay to sell it together with the perfume. But we can't cover it all, and we will give some points to the people."
"This is nature. Jasmine flowers must be cultivated by humans, and the essence must be extracted by humans."
Chu Ximo was silent. For him, as long as the contract was negotiated, the rest would be someone else's business.
Maybe Shiqing will earn a lot, but she has promised before that after deducting all kinds of things she earns in her name, the remaining amount will be given to Dachu, how much will be used on the people, and how much will be left in the end.
their own.
No matter how much she earns, it will benefit the country and the people.
"It's late at night. Let's go back and rest. If there's anything else, let's discuss it tomorrow when City Lord Luhai delivers the things."
Jiang Hongxuan nodded slightly and said: "That's fine! But Mr. Contract Six, you can just think about it yourself. If it doesn't work, there is also Sister Shiqing. In addition, I have to go out these two days to see what is suitable for us to buy and take away."
Sold elsewhere, Yining may need to ask Sister Shiqing to take more care of it tomorrow."
"Well, don't worry, little brother!"
After this discussion, the three of them dispersed.
Chu Ximo supported Yan Shiqing and returned to the cabin. At this time, Xiao Nian'an had already fallen asleep.
Chu Ximo once again cast his gaze on her belly, and said with doubt in his eyes: "Qingqing, I always feel that your belly is getting bigger and bigger every day, and it doesn't look like you are pregnant with one. Honestly, you are.
Are you hiding something from me?"
Yan Shiqing's eyes also fell on her belly, and then she looked up at his worried eyes. She involuntarily pursed her lips and touched her belly unconsciously with her hands.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. I am a doctor myself, and my master is here. If it doesn't work, aren't there two medical women in Yining? Not to mention, Emperor Dexuan also brought several imperial doctors.
."
Chu Ximo saw that she didn't answer directly, but looked at him from left to right. He was sure that she had more than one child in her belly. At the moment, she was happy, angry and scared.
I am glad that he and Shi Qing have many heirs. Looking back, his brother and mother will not feel guilty because Xiao Nian'an was named the prince.
I was so angry at my own carelessness that I didn't even ask anyone to take a second look at the girl in private and let her do whatever she wanted.
She was worried because they were all out, and she had such a big belly and was giving birth in a foreign country. What if something happened?
For a moment, Chu Ximo had mixed emotions in her heart, but she couldn't bear to talk about her. She was suffocating in her heart and had nowhere to vent her anger.
After washing up and helping Yan Shiqing lie back on the bed, he sighed and said with helplessness in his eyes: "Is everything going to be really okay?"
"It's okay, don't worry!"
Yan Shiqing couldn't help but yawn, reached out to pat the back of his hand, and then closed her eyes.
Chu Ximo just held his head with one hand, lying on his side and looking at her sleeping face, feeling sour in his heart, but extremely satisfied.
How could he be so virtuous and capable that he could marry her? I think it was because he burned incense and accumulated virtue in his previous life. Otherwise, how could God send her to him?
next day
When the sky was slightly bright, Xiao Nian'an, who was sleeping in the cubicle, had already woken up.
The little guy dressed himself neatly, left the room and subconsciously headed towards his father and mother's room.
