Chapter 397 The cost of glass jewelry is low
Until Fu Chenan left, the mother-in-law brought Buddhist scriptures, paper and pen, and asked Qi Rongrong to copy them and read them out at the same time.
Qi Rongrong reacted: Are you serious? !
Resistance was written all over her body: "Can I not copy it?"
Back then, in the palace, the favored concubine bullied others and always asked others to copy scriptures.
Qi Rongrong was sure that she could not defeat them, so she stopped all activities and just wanted to save her life.
In this way, I was still "copied" several times.
Finally, the late emperor died, and the palace concubine also died. She thought she would never have to copy scriptures in this life...
As a result, my son was assigned the task of copying scriptures again?
Why don't you give me a knife?
"Can I not copy the scriptures?" Qi Rongrong asked again without giving up.
The mother-in-law was also in a dilemma: this was the order from the prince.
It is said that copying and reading scriptures can make this person’s temperament more peaceful.
But she was determined not to copy, so he couldn't force her to copy, could he?
"My slave, ask the prince."
The mother-in-law finally compromised and asked someone to report it.
After hearing the report, Fu Chenan was stunned and compromised: "Then let someone read to her."
"She must listen to books for two hours every day. One hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon."
As for the content, I borrowed books from Master Yingchun Academy and read them one by one. Those who want to cultivate their moral character and understand their doubts clearly should read them one by one.
Qi Rongrong was half heartbroken when she heard the final result of her mother-in-law's report.
Instead of copying sutras, I changed to reciting sutras.
Okay, it's better than having to do it yourself.
She closed her eyes and let the old lady read to her with the book...
……
One week after giving birth, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Fu Chenan took the initiative to ask Xiao Yingchun: "Do you want me to go visit your parents' graves on your behalf?"
Fu Chenan did a great job visiting the graves of his parents last time.
Not only did he spend money to find a local to carefully consult on how to salute, but he also asked Daxiong, who was driving the car, to help take a video of the entire process.
Xiao Yingchun was very satisfied after watching the video.
Fu Chenan was afraid that Xiao Yingchun would be thinking about visiting the grave again, so he took the initiative to ask for a visit.
Xiao Yingchun said "no need".
The child is too young to take to the cemetery.
"When I am out of confinement during the Double Ninth Festival, I will make offerings at home and burn paper money for my parents..."
Fu Chenan understood instantly: "How about we go to Tianwu Chao for a reunion dinner?"
Xiao Yingchun hesitated for a moment: "Want to eat at your place at noon? Eat at our place in the evening?"
Fu Chenan: "Okay."
He went back and told his father the news.
Fu Zhonghai turned around and told Zhan Yunfu.
Zhan Yunfu refused to participate: "I want to go back to accompany Shiniang and my daughter-in-law, and inherit."
There is a family of young, old, women and children, and Marquis Ao Guangchun is not at home, so she is the backbone.
It's not appropriate for her to be away from home on such a day.
Fu Zhonghai didn't force it, he wanted to have a reunion dinner with Fu Chen'an, his wife and Wang Wang Miaomiao.
By the way, I picked up Lu Daban.
Lu Daban was flattered: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, this servant is not worthy..."
How could he, a eunuch, deserve to have a reunion dinner with his master?
Xiao Yingchun smiled and persuaded: "Lu Daban, you are so loyal to them and their son, you deserve to have a meal together..."
Lu Daban glanced at Xiao Yingchun who was feeling relaxed, hesitated for a moment, and agreed.
"Then it's better for me to be respectful than obey my orders..."
Xiao Yingchun was still in confinement, and the reunion dinner was served in the East Palace.
When the tightly wrapped Crown Princess was helped out of the room by the Crown Prince, everyone in the palace couldn't help but look at her.
Xiao Yingchun's complexion is very good, white and tender.
The two children have also grown a lot, the redness has faded, and they have become extremely white and tender.
They said they were eating together, but in fact Lu Daban was helping to look after the children.
Fu Zhonghai strictly guarded the maids and palace people in the palace and did not allow them to have free contact with outsiders.
Under the watchful eye of Lu Daban, the palace and the nanny were all cautious, fearing that something would go wrong and they would be exposed.
In order to prevent Xiao Yingchun from getting bored, Fu Zhonghai deliberately did his homework in advance and found common topics. "After autumn, the weather cools down in the morning and evening, and the business of coal stoves and briquettes picks up..."
Officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry were very excited.
The prince said he would give out a reward of silver!
As a result, relevant people at the Ministry of Industry and Commerce were very busy.
Several coal yards were specially built under the Ministry of Industry to produce coal and make briquettes.
As soon as I started mining, I discovered that the coal fields in some places were open-pit coal mines.
You only need to dig out the top layer of soil, and the thick and deep layer below is filled with coal.
The Ministry of Industry is also very domineering: they set up a briquettes factory directly next to the coal yard. The mud here, the coal there, and the burned lime are mixed with water in proportion and evenly pressed into briquettes...
The dried briquettes are then stacked and transported to the warehouse for stacking.
They had seen the warehouse piling up more and more, and they were unsure: Do they still want to do it? Can it be sold out?
Now seeing that the inventory in the warehouse is getting less and less, and it is selling out faster and faster, they are getting more motivated.
Do more and get more silver rewards to celebrate the new year.
When it comes to the briquettes factory, Fu Zhonghai is filled with gratitude.
"Thanks to the idea you gave me, the most important thing about this briquette factory now is not how much money it makes..."
"It supports more than a thousand people who work in the coal fields."
In fact, there are not only these more than a thousand common people, but also countless "more than a thousand common people".
Because the transportation in Tianwu Dynasty was not developed, briquettes were not suitable for transportation and sales to far away places.
Therefore, if other cities want to use cheap briquettes, it is best to mine and produce them locally.
The cities under the Tianwu Dynasty were all looking for coal mines.
The imperial court opened mines, and local people could go to work in the coal mines.
Some are long-term coal diggers, and some are short-term, until winter comes.
Coal diggers earn good wages, and it is not a problem for one person to feed a family.
Xiao Yingchun was happy to hear this and couldn't help but look at Fu Chenan: "Can the soap factory replicate this model?"
Fu Chenan shook his head: "This is different."
Coal is available everywhere, and it is not difficult to make briquettes.
Soap is different. Soap can be sold directly abroad.
With soap workshops opening everywhere, confidentiality was out of the question.
Once a soap recipe leaks out, it quickly spreads everywhere.
Fu Chenan explained: "It's not that the people are making money, it's that the nearby countries are making money..."
Recently, Tianwu Dynasty's soap has begun to be sold to surrounding countries, and business is very good.
When ordinary people make soap, the price is easily messed up.
If the price comes down, the court will have no money to make.
If the formula leaks out of other countries, the court will not be able to make this money at all.
And when people do this, they can only earn some hard-earned money in the end.
In the end, vicious competition has squeezed out all profits, and people can earn more by working in soap factories and briquette factories than by running their own factories.
Xiao Yingchun suddenly realized: Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes. It seems simple, but in fact it is all knowledge...
Fu Zhonghai talked about Liulicongfang again.
Logically, Liulicongfang can expand production scale.
But if the output of this thing goes up, the price will come down.
How could people who bought colored glaze at high prices in the past be willing?
Therefore, Fu Zhonghai and his son simply strictly controlled the production scale of Liuli.
However, they have recently been actively selling Liuli abroad.
Among them, the best-selling one is Annan Kingdom.
Annan is a land of plenty, and the people and court are very wealthy. They also like poetry, calligraphy, rituals, music, and enjoy life.
The glass is shiny, looks very high-end, and has a wide range of uses. The wealthy families in Annan Kingdom like it very much.
Xiao Yingchun listened to their father and son talking, and suddenly thought of something: "How about we make a batch of colored glaze jewelry?"
Fu Zhonghai and Fu Chen'an, father and son, paused and looked at Xiao Yingchun in shock.
Xiao Yingchun spread her hands and explained: "Look, this thing is crystal clear and beautiful, and it can be made into various colors you want."
“Would it be more beautiful if we could use jade stones to make earrings, bracelets, etc.?”
Emperor Tianwu and his son both swallowed their saliva.
The situation is like this, but - the cost of colored glaze of the same size is more than a hundred or a thousand times worse than that of jewelry and jade!
It turns out that the daughter-in-law is the most evil person in the family...
