On the way back, Qingshu fell into deep thought. Yi An knew that she was thinking about things and didn't dare to disturb her, so he leaned on the carriage and waited.

It wasn't until Jianmu said home that Qingshu came back to his senses, "Yi'an, I have an idea, you can help me refer to it." ”

"Okay."

When the two entered the house, Qingshu asked Honggu and Basho and the others to break up: "Yi'an, I just thought of an idea, if you do it well, you will definitely make a lot of money." ”

What Yi An lacks most now is money: "What an idea." ”

"Selling spices."

Yi An glanced at her and said with a smile: "Spices? There are many spices sold in the capital, can our spices be sold for a large price? ”

The main reason is that she has never seen Qingshu blending fragrances, and she feels unreliable when selling spices.

Qingshu saw that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "The spices I am talking about are not the kind of smoked clothes house, but the kind that can be eaten." ”

"Spices to eat?"

Qingshu smiled and nodded, "Yes!" The reason why my pickles are so delicious is also because I have the spices I have prepared in them, and I can improve this spice and sell it. ”

Yi An understood, and said: "What do you mean, you improve this spice, everyone buys it and puts it in the dish, and the taste of the dish will be better." ”

"Yes."

Yi An said: "The idea is good, but are you sure that this spice will taste better when you put it in the dish?" ”

Qingshu said with a smile: "Not only pickles, but also the spices I have prepared for braised meat, of course you can eat it!" If you don't believe me, you can get someone to try it when I get it. ”

"Everyone's taste is different, some like to be lighter and some like to be stronger, and when the time comes, you can put more and less according to your preferences."

The more he talked, the more Qingshu felt that this business had great prospects: "Yi'an, the people take food as the sky." Who doesn't want to eat in this world, who doesn't want their own food to be better. Maybe a pack of spices earns less, but as long as the amount is large, the profit is still very considerable. ”

Hearing this, Yi An was a little suspicious: "Is it really that profitable?" Our braised pork is so delicious, and it will make a profit of more than 10,000 taels a year. ”

Qing Shu laughed: "These two can't be compared at all!" Yi'an, the preservation time of braised meat is too short. In the summer, it will go bad the next day before it is sold out, but this spice is different, as long as it is stored properly, it will not go bad for a year. So, we can sell the spices elsewhere. ”

Hearing her say this, Yi An also thought this was a good idea, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's give it a try, what do you want me to do?" ”

Qingshu said: "I will come up with the formula, and you will find the manpower." ”

Yi An frowned.

Qing Shu actually already had an idea: "There will definitely be a lot of wounded soldiers after this battle, and when the time comes, a group of trustworthy people will be selected from them to do it." ”

Yi An shook his head and said, "This kind of light work still has to be done by women. ”

Qing Shu said with a smile: "Grinding all kinds of medicinal herbs into powder, the woman doesn't have that much strength. Therefore, this thing has to be done by a man who has the strength to beat it. ”

Yi An then asked, "How many people are there?" ”

This Qingshu can't be sure for the time being: "Let's go to fifty people first!" If the market is good, we will expand production. ”

You can't become fat in one bite, so you naturally have to do business step by step, steadily.

"Fifty is a lot?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be much." I have a few spice recipes in my hand, and I can sell them as long as I improve them. ”

Although Yi An didn't do Gu Oh business, he also understood everything he should know: "If we want to make our business, many people will definitely imitate it, what if they also sell spices when the time comes?" ”

Qing Shu was not worried about this, and said: "Don't worry about this, if you want a formula to be so easy to study, it is impossible for Fuyun Building to stand for a hundred years?" As long as we make a reputation and continue to improve the formula, others will not be able to steal our business.

Wu Yi'an said with a smile: "I'm not good at business, I listen to you." I can't do much in this shop, just give me a hundred percent of the shares. ”

"I'm not going to give you shares this time."

When Yi An heard this, he said: "I'll give you back the braised meat shop and the dyeing shop!" I haven't done much in these years. ”

Qing Shu saw that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "This weapons manufacturing department is a money-burning business, and you can't do it without money. I don't know how much money this workshop can make, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat. ”

She thinks that as long as this business is done well, she will definitely make a lot of money, but after all, she hasn't started to do it yet, and she doesn't dare to say big things.

Yi An heard it? "What do you mean, the profits of this workshop will be given to me in the future?" ”

"Yes."

Yi An was so moved that he hugged Qingshu and said, "I'll just say it casually, and you will start planning to get up." ”

"It's not just because of you. He also told me about this, and he said that our weapons fell to the barbarians, and if we don't pay attention to them, we will suffer a great loss in the future. ”

Yi An'an moved his head and said, "Then did he tell the emperor?" ”

"Needless to say, how can the emperor be so wise and not know this hidden danger, but now he can't spare his hands to do this now."

Qingshu's eyes sparkled and said, "Yi'an, if we handle this matter well, do you mean that we will leave a name in history?" ”

She has always wanted to do something meaningful, but there are too few things that a woman can do, and there are still a lot of constraints. But now that Yi An has this ambition, she wants to help her as much as she can.

Yi An was infected by her emotions, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely fight for this matter, the emperor is not as good as me in terms of understanding weapons." ”

"By the way, have you ever used that flintlock pistol? If you don't have it, lend me a few days, this weapon will rust if you don't use it. ”

This thing Qingshu really hasn't used it, of course, the main thing is that it doesn't have a chance to use it.

Qingshu asked Honggu to bring the flintlock pistol.

Opening the box and looking at the intact flintlock pistol, Yi An closed the box again: "Qingshu, if you want to say it, your stepfather is really a talent." It's a pity that he is too old to go to sea anymore. ”

Qingshu's heart moved, and he asked softly, "Do you want to do shipping business?" ”

Yi An smiled and said, "I think I want to, but I don't know how to do business." Although this shipping business is violent, it is also risky, and if you are not careful, you may go bankrupt. ”

Qingshu didn't understand this, but she felt that it was also a way. In the past, the profits of several shops could save a large amount of money in addition to daily expenses, so she was not interested in making money. But now it's different, you have to work hard to make money.

"I'm not in a hurry about this, I'll discuss it with him when Jing Ene comes back. As for you, take a chance to talk to the emperor about it. With the support of the emperor, it will be much easier for us to act in the future. ”

Yi An nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and write a letter to ask what he means." If you dare not agree, hum ......"

Qingshu pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't worry, the emperor will agree." ”

Since the emperor wants to marry Yi An because he likes it, he will definitely agree to her. Otherwise, they have to be on guard.
