"promise!"
Dou Ping understood instantly, nodded in agreement and stepped back.
Immediately afterwards, the heads of other industries also met one after another to conduct annual summaries, while Bai Sheng formulated plans based on business conditions and actual needs.
Industries that should make money will make money, and industries that should lose money will continue to lose money. You must not give up certain plans because of losses.
For example, breeding of fine seeds, education...
These are unlikely to see results in the short term and are proper long-term loss-making projects, but they cannot be stopped just because they cannot see any profits, because this is betting on the future.
There will be no benefits in three or two years, but there will definitely be huge benefits in the next 20 to 30 years, which will benefit the country and the people.
In addition, Bai Sheng also arranged some new projects for investment. The core focus is on improving people's livelihood, increasing productivity, liberating the labor force, and reusing existing waste, so as to accumulate more wealth and conquer the Huns in the future. Might come in handy.
Finally, including the money invested, generally speaking, I made no money in the first few months and still suffered some losses.
Of course, this refers to cash flow.
Add in actual assets, and you will definitely still make money.
After settling the accounts, paying wages and year-end bonuses, the next step is of course to prepare for the New Year. Compared with ordinary people, the New Year only involves family reunions, a good meal, some money, maybe some new clothes, and sacrifices to ancestors.
The royal family will undoubtedly be in a lot of trouble.
Just offering sacrifices is super troublesome.
Ordinary people only need to offer sacrifices to their ancestors, and there is no need to offer sacrifices one by one. They can just put up incense sticks on the official day, and that's all it takes. Emperor Jianyuan and Bai Sheng were different. The objects they wanted to sacrifice were gone to the sea. Haotian must be sacrificed, Dongjun must be sacrificed, Si Ming must be sacrificed, the gods of nature and the gods of Sheji must be sacrificed. After the gods have been sacrificed, the five emperors must be sacrificed. After the five emperors have been sacrificed, the military leader Chi You must be sacrificed, and then it is the turn of one's ancestors.
Ancestors who are too far away can be worshiped together.
Those who are close must be worshiped one by one.
Fortunately, Bai Sheng was only the Empress Dowager, so she did not need to participate in some sacrificial procedures, or in other words, only the emperor was qualified to perform sacrificial rituals, so in the end she symbolically participated in two sacrificial rituals, and then returned to the palace to rest.
If she really followed the procedure, she would have to lose half of her life. How could she hold on at her old age?
Fortunately, Emperor Jianyuan was young and strong.
After the sacrifice, there is still energy to complete other processes.
In the evening it’s time to have New Year’s Eve dinner, and this year’s New Year’s Eve dinner has undergone many changes compared to previous years because of Bai Sheng. For example, the tableware on the table has been replaced with various porcelains, and there are more dishes. For cooking and deep-frying, even small hot pots have been replaced by bronze ones, which are more beautiful in color and non-toxic.
There are just a few people eating.
Not very lively.
There are many times more people to serve than family members.
After all, there were only five people in total, so it was strange that it was so lively. Apart from Bai Sheng, the empress dowager, the only people with him were Emperor Jianyuan, his mother, the empress dowager, his daughter-in-law, empress Chen, and Wei Zifu, who gave birth to his only daughter.
At the same time, my daughter didn’t bring her because she was too young.
In addition, they implement a meal-sharing system.
It's strange that it can become lively.
As for the other grandchildren and daughters of the original body, the daughter will definitely have to accompany her husband and children during the New Year. The grandsons have been divided and sent away. Even if they celebrate the New Year, it is impossible for them to come back. The granddaughter obviously has to eat with her husband's family and cannot come back during the New Year. My parents’ family is having New Year’s Eve dinner.
Emperor Jianyuan has only one daughter so far.
Can there be too many people?
Looking at it this way, Bai Sheng could somewhat understand why the original person particularly favored her daughter. She was a lonely old man. Her son was dead and most of her grandchildren were not around. The only grandson who was around still couldn't deal with him.
I want to be nice to my nephew.
The nephew actually teamed up with his grandson to deal with her.
My daughter is considerate and comes to keep me company if nothing happens.
Even though the daughter's thoughts may not be that pure, so what, it's not like she can't give her daughter what she wants. If she doesn't pamper her daughter, who can she pamper?
You can't pamper your daughter-in-law.
The daughter-in-law wishes she would die soon.
Then take the lead yourself!
"Zifu, you have a younger brother named Wei Qing, right? The Ai family has heard that he also has a nephew named Qu Bing!
Let’s bring them all with us to family dinners from now on.
When there are few people, the food tastes bad! "
When Emperor Jianyuan asked about peace talks with the Huns a few months ago, Bai Shengyou thought of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, but later because of busy work, he forgot about it.
This time I heard Wei Zifu saying hello at the bottom.
Only then did I suddenly think of these two imperial gems again.
He immediately spoke.
In fact, Bai Sheng didn't have much deep meaning. The main reason was that he wanted to understand and care in advance. It would be a pity not to have contact with such two great god-level existences. Thinking that Bai Sheng was still a little annoyed about why he was blind and had no chance to see clearly. What exactly do they look like.
The most she could do when she turned around was touch, but she couldn't figure out what someone else looked like just by touching their face.
It’s a pity just thinking about it.
"In this way, after the New Year, we will bring them into the palace to meet the Ai family. I heard that Wei Qing is also a handsome young man."
Because he was a little worried about not looking back until next year during the New Year, Bai Sheng thought about it and continued to say a few words, clearly stating that he wanted to see these two people.
Wei Zifu looked at Emperor Jianyuan in embarrassment, and after receiving Emperor Jianyuan's affirmative nod, he whispered his promise.
Everyone else present was deep in thought.
For example, Emperor Jianyuan was very confused. It was fine that someone had mentioned Wei Qing in the ear of the Empress Dowager. After all, he had recently gotten close to Wei Qing and promoted him, but Wei Qing's nephew was not even cured of any illness. I know, and he must be very young, just a child. Who mentioned it in the ears of the Empress Dowager?
Empress Chen was a little panicked, worried about why her imperial grandmother suddenly wanted to see Wei Zifu's brother.
Do you want to give up on her, or do you want to do something else?
Or maybe it was revealed that her mother wanted to assassinate Wei Qing to vent her anger when Wei Zifu was just pregnant?
The Empress Dowager agreed very much. As Bai Sheng said, it is not good to eat when a person is young. Her son's heirs are indeed too thin. When the late emperor was this age, he had several children. As a result, her son only has one now. Daughter, there was no movement from the other concubines.
No wonder the Empress Dowager disliked the lack of people, and she also disliked the lack of people.
It seems that I will have to urge you more in the future.
Wei Zifu was simply worried. She didn't know why the Empress Dowager knew about her brother and her brother's nephew, and even wanted to see them. I don’t even know if this is a good thing or a bad thing!
Can you not feel uneasy?
Disturbed by Bai Sheng's words, everyone present had no intention of having the New Year's Eve dinner. They were all preoccupied. When the New Year's Eve dinner was over, they either found someone to discuss or sent someone to investigate, trying to find out what Wei Qing and Wei Qing were doing. Let’s see what’s special about the situation of getting rid of illness.
