Cheng Jingzhou is not involved in the specific management and operation of Harvest Workshop. After all, he is an official and must avoid suspicion.
But because of his big backer, Harvest Workshop is definitely a top-notch existence in Feng County, and no one dares to find trouble.
Xie Rongzhao explained the operating conditions of Harvest Workshop to his father in detail, and also specifically mentioned that the important core positions were all her people and would not let the recipe leak out.
"It's not difficult to imitate this thing, but as long as I can't make it taste like yours, I won't take away the Harvest Workshop's business. And, my dear, don't just focus on this one-third of an acre in front of you. You are not the only one who can do this. On the contrary, if there are other workshops, it might be more advantageous."
Xie Rongzhao doesn’t understand very well.
Xie Xiuwen smiled: "Just like the Four Seasons Tea Fragrance you made earlier, there are no others in the capital that do this now, but their taste is not as good as yours, and their prices are also lower, but some people will still buy it. This It's like running a restaurant, if there is only one restaurant in the capital, do you think it's normal?"
Xie Rongzhao suddenly realized: "I understand, thank you father for the advice."
This is like making wine. There are buyers of good wines and buyers of bad wines. In short, one cannot be the only one. Otherwise, not only will there be no profit, but there may also be risks.
Therefore, Xie Xiuwen was reminding her that when Harvest Workshop becomes famous in the future, it won't matter even if other workshops appear to make these things. All the money in the world cannot be made by one person.
"When you started this harvest workshop, your original intention was to make the people of Feng County live a better life, and at the same time increase the tax revenue of Feng County. As long as the purpose is achieved, that's fine, so there is no need to keep an eye on this place. Moreover, I also have to remind you that you are the wife of the county magistrate, and it is not a big deal for you to interfere in some things now. After all, it has really brought benefits to the people, but what about in the future?"
Xie Rongzhao really thought about it seriously: "What does father mean?"
"After you have recovered your capital and received a certain return, it is best to get everything done before Sanlang is transferred. Either hand over the stocks in your hands to the county government, or let the local squire take over. As an official's family member, if you are too involved in these matters, it will not be good for Saburo's official reputation."
"Yes, my daughter understands."
There is endless money to be made, and Xie Xiuwen also knows that the young couple have a lot of savings now, and the real estate shop is profitable, so there is no need to harm his reputation just for the money.
Xie Rongzhao also told Cheng Jingzhou about this matter, but Cheng Jingzhou had no objection to it and just said that she would just let her figure it out.
Xie Rongzhao thought about it again and again, and still decided to wait until next year to deal with it. After all, the workshop had only been established for such a short time, the customers were still unstable, and the products made were not well-known, so he thought it would be better to do it by himself first. This holds the general direction.
Next year, she is thinking that it is not impossible to consider selling the shares to local squires, or some local farming and reading families.
Cheng Jingzhou was going back to Feng County on the sixth day of the lunar month. Considering that his wife missed her parents, he personally sent her to Xie's house to stay for a few days, waiting for him to take care of things in Feng County before picking her up.
Of course, Cheng Jingzhou also asked his father-in-law for instructions on where to hold Guabao's birthday party next month.
Normally, Xie Rongzhao is already married, so Cheng Jingzhou naturally takes the decision on this matter, but his attitude also shows his respect for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"Let's talk about it then. You are busy with affairs in Feng County. How can you have time and energy to take care of Guabao's birthday party? If she is allowed to handle it by herself, it will be boring. In my opinion, either let your mother-in-law go to Feng County to help You can just take care of it, or let her come back to do it, either way, let’s see what your arrangements are at that time.”
"Yes, father, the son-in-law will leave first."
As soon as Xie Rongzhao came back, he didn't want to leave. He stayed with Liu Ruolan every day, or just teased his nephews and nieces. His life was quite happy.
However, within a few days, someone from Feng County came to urge him.
The main reason is that there are still a lot of things to do at the Harvest Workshop, and we can't let the person in charge travel such a long way back and forth every day.
In desperation, Xie Rongzhao had no choice but to return to Feng County.
Cheng Jingzhou is even busier than he was a year ago. He heard that there was a murder in Feng County. He is now so busy that he may not be able to eat on time, so naturally he has no time to pick up his wife.
It was Xie Rongen who volunteered to send her here in person.
One was busy taking care of the harvest workshop, and the other was busy investigating the case. The days passed quickly.
By the time the case was settled, Cheng Jingzhou had lost a lot of weight.
It's not that this case is difficult to try, but because the other party is too cunning and ran away.
The other party was a murderer with human life on his hands, and he had a knife in his hand when he ran away. Cheng Jingzhou was afraid that another murder would occur, so he issued strict orders to the two county lieutenants and deployed all available personnel to arrest him throughout the county.
Of course, Cheng Jingzhou himself was not idle either. Through the investigation of the murderer, he first identified the place where the murderer was most likely to go.
Xie Rongzhao came in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge: "You should have a rest. This is the father-in-law and a murder case. You are only one person. Do you really want to use yourself as two people?"
Cheng Jingzhou knew that she felt sorry for him, so he took the bowl from her hand and ate it obediently.
"By the way, this is the letter sent by my father. Please read it first."
After Xie Rongzhao read it, he couldn't hide the little expression on his face.
"My cousins are really interesting. They were not willing to talk to our family before, but now they are not afraid of being said that they are flattering and underestimating. Now that the Qingzhang is the official of the court, they actually think they can use my father to Your name has been spared, so what are you thinking about!"
Of course, it is not only the high-ranking officials who conceal their property, but anyone with some ability is not willing to pay more taxes.
Who is willing to pay taxes on ten acres of land if he can pay taxes on five acres of land?
But the question is, now that the whole country is trying to escape, can you hide?
Xie Xiuwen had sent people back to his hometown in Gaoyang County long before the court took any action, just to urge them to fully cooperate with the government and not to be too smart.
Moreover, due to the rise of Xie Xiuwen, the Xie family now has several scholars and two masters. They are no longer the country folk they used to be. The entire family can be said to be a family of farming and reading.
Therefore, there is no need to ruin the future of the juniors because of such a trivial matter.
The clan leader and Grandpa Xie naturally listened. With Lao San Xie here, they straightened out all these matters early.
Who would have known that the problem just happened to be on the elder’s side!
