Surprise flashed across Lu Yuan's face when he heard this, and he said in disbelief, "Brother Huang, are you really going to find a friend for me to study with? You are so good! I will definitely get a top grade. I must learn martial arts and do it in the future." A chivalrous and righteous hero!" Lu Yuan himself described himself with enthusiasm.
Lu Qing smiled slightly and said, "Okay, Master Lu, you can go back and do your homework." What Lu Qing didn't say was that your good days are now over.
So, Lu Yuanxiong walked away proudly.
On the second day, just after the morning court, Lu Qing received the account book that Fei Ran sent to the palace.
Seeing yesterday's turnover, Lu Qing nodded with satisfaction.
Yesterday's turnover alone was close to eight hundred taels of silver, which was beyond Lu Qing's expectations.
Feiran informed that the inventory of Dongfeng Pavilion is currently running low, but there is still an endless stream of customers coming to buy, especially the lipsticks, which were almost sold out this morning.
"Ask the workshop to speed up production, and we can make as much as we can. Of course, quality issues must be ensured, and you have to supervise them."
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is one more thing. At present, more than a dozen wealthy businessmen have come to me and are interested in mass-customizing products from us. It is just as you imagined, but it is out of stock now." Feiran is now facing Your Majesty. At the very least, I am no longer afraid that my hands will shake, and I will speak clearly and logically.
"When this batch is ready, leave enough stock in the store first. The excess can be wholesaled to them first. If you still need more, then sign a contract, leave a deposit, let the workshop rush to work, and agree on a time to pick it up. , Oh, by the way, if it is mass customization, we can give some discounts. We must sign a contract with everyone and press their fingerprints to ensure that the price they sell cannot exceed our customized price, and of course it cannot be cheap. Sell it, you just have to deal with it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Fei Ran saluted respectfully.
Your Majesty knows so much, and has imagined many things in advance. He has studied the business more thoroughly than she, a real merchant woman, is worthy of being Your Majesty!
"Well, also, take the time to check out the other shops. Replace the people who should be replaced, and train some shopkeepers who can do practical things. They will be useful in the future." Lu Qing thought about the bleak condition of the other shops in his hands. business, I thought I could use it to give Fei Ran some practice.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this servant is not qualified for this job. What if..." Fei Ran was even more frightened when she heard this. Although she had helped her family deal with some things before, and she also ran several shops, but at such a scale, , compared with the size of His Majesty’s shop, it’s really not impressive. She doesn’t care much whether her own business is losing money or not, but she really has some stage fright in His Majesty’s shop.
Lu Qing didn't know what she was thinking.
"Just go ahead and do it boldly. The businesses in those shops are not that good. They won't get any worse. You have to believe in your own abilities. I am very optimistic about you. You will definitely be able to do it. If you can turn these shops into a business this time, After you come back to life, you can help me manage these properties outside the palace in the future, so you don't have to waste time in the palace all the time. You can do whatever you want."
Hearing this, Fei Ran suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining brightly.
She has always been particularly fond of doing business. In order to leave the suffocating home, she resolutely entered the palace, thinking that she would never have the chance to do what she liked in this life. Unexpectedly, God would still favor her and let her meet Your Majesty, I have been favored by Your Majesty.
She doesn't have to stay in the palace and die all her life, she can leave the palace! Can do business! How could she let this opportunity pass?
You can learn it if you don’t know how, no one is born a business genius!
She will definitely achieve results and never let down His Majesty's trust.
Fei Ran took a deep breath and solemnly knelt down, "I will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
In a blink of an eye, the Laba Festival is here.
There are many customs during the Laba Festival. People cook Laba porridge on this day, mainly using rice, plus various nuts (such as hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, chestnuts, etc.), as well as lotus seeds, longans, and sesame seeds. There is a wide range of ingredients to choose from, depending on your home. People choose according to their taste.
In addition to making porridge, garlic is also soaked in vinegar to make Laba garlic. The resulting Laba garlic is emerald in color, sour and spicy and appetizing.
On this day, people also beat drums to drive away diseases, worship gods and ancestors, and pray for good weather and good weather in the coming year.
Dayu attaches great importance to this festival. Two days before the Laba Festival, every household will buy the ingredients needed for the Laba Festival for use on the day of the festival.
The imperial chefs in the imperial dining room were all busy today.
After it was ready, Lu Qing followed the annual custom and gave the Laba porridge to the ministers of civil and military affairs and the attendant maids. He also distributed some rice, fruits, etc. to various temples for the monks to eat.
Finally, eat it yourself.
Lu Yuan's little chubby boy was even more excited, with a smile on his face all day long.
…
The ministers who went out to provide disaster relief came back one after another.
Lu Qing still treats these ministers as rewards that deserve rewards and praises that deserve praise.
In the past few days, Su Xiang and others are preparing to welcome the envoys from Ling Kingdom and Fenglan Kingdom. Although there are still nearly two months until the envoys arrive, it is better to prepare early. After all, this time is different from the past. , after knowing the wolf ambitions of the two countries, they did not dare to rely on others. Not only must there be no mistakes in etiquette, but defense capabilities are also a top priority.
This time the two countries came not only to pay tribute, but also because the ten-year pledge period has expired. The two countries will take back the princes of their own countries, which heralds the expiration of the ten-year non-aggression treaty signed that year. It also indicates that the three countries will be in a delicate balance again.
It also indicates that His Majesty's 'prophecy' may really come true.
All the well-informed ministers did not dare to slack off in the slightest and worked overtime every day.
Especially for Su Xiang, there was almost a mountain of folding papers on the table.
Not only did he have to take care of what was going on inside and outside the palace, he also found time to send someone to deliver a letter to the Duke of Zhenguo on the northwest border.
The 200,000-strong army on the northwest border is guarded by the direct descendants of the Xiao family of Zhenguo Gong all year round. The ancestor of Zhenguo Gong was also a meritorious general who followed the Holy Ancestor Emperor to conquer the world. His direct descendants are even more outstanding and specialize in amazing talents. , even the women of the Xiao family are all good at fighting, and they are not like ordinary ladies who stay in the boudoir and embroider, and stop in the backyard.
Regarding everything that happened in the capital, Su Xiang knew that Duke Yizhen's ability could not be unclear, but he was still worried, so he wrote a letter.
Longquan Palace.
It has been too cold these past two days, so Lu Qing has temporarily put aside his exercise. However, he has been practicing his super powers every night. Now he has recovered 50% of his previous life's abilities. The speed is quite gratifying. Lu Qing is in a good mood. Incredible.
So I started researching other things in the past two days.
