Chapter 146 New Project
"If my sister and I were here, the Third Prince's marriage would be on the agenda."
"You dare to say that? Aren't you afraid of being punished by me?"
"Your Majesty, I am a timid person. Please don't scare me. I am a straightforward person. I am just worried about the Third Prince. What have I done wrong?"
"Are there any portraits of those ladies?"
"Have."
"Prepare one for me."
Linglong Pavilion
"Master, you are so brave. How is this different from leaving the palace without permission?"
Seeing Fuzi and Xiaolu looking at him with sparkling eyes, Su He couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on them.
"Don't learn from me. I tried to die but I couldn't. If you try to die, don't doubt it, you will die completely."
"Puchi~" The two looked at each other and laughed.
Fuzi was the first to speak, "My queen, what are you thinking? We are not seeking death. The life we are living now is something we never dared to dream of before."
"My lady, who is this cute little baby?"
Before Su He could speak, Lingling took a step forward and patted her chest with her little hands.
"Hello, ladies. My name is Su Lingling, and I'm your younger brother."
Su He turned to look at Lingling. The little girl was winking at her.
"Yeah, I picked it up near the garbage dump when I went out yesterday, and now they're blaming me."
"Master, it is not convenient for you to take this child with you in your current status. Why don't you send this child to the orphanage?"
Lingling quickly hugged Su He's thighs and tearfully accused the two people in front of her.
“Are you devils? That place is so bad, so bad. I’m so pretty, if I’m sent there I’ll definitely be bought by a pervert and tortured. I’m so miserable.”
Fuzi and Xiaolu were a little confused for a moment. They were given candies, snacks and candied fruits, but nothing they did to appease them would do anything.
The two looked at Su He for help.
"That's enough. They don't know that the Foundling House is a bad place."
Lingling sobbed and said, "But they want to send me away."
"Will you be sent away?"
Lingling shook her head, "No."
"Then why are you crying?"
"I was sad, and my young heart was hurt."
"What do you want?"
"I want to eat roast duck," and then he stretched out his little hand and made a "yeah" gesture, "two."
"make a deal."
Fuzi and Xiaolu quickly said, "We'll treat you, we'll treat you, just order whatever you want."
The three people and a kid came to the most distinctive restaurant in the capital - Huayue Tower.
Su He stood below, feeling somewhat confused.
"Are you sure this is a restaurant and not a brothel?"
"Madam, this restaurant may not be the most famous in the capital, but it is definitely the most distinctive. It is also said that the food is delicious. It is definitely ranked among the top three in the capital."
“How can there be a special method?”
"You can watch the show while eating. In the private room upstairs, you can invite someone to play the piano and sing while you eat."
"Many people of status in the capital, especially some literati and scholars, like to come to this restaurant."
The three of them started talking about business while waiting for their food.
"You have read the letter I sent you."
"Master, we have seen it, but we are afraid we can't do it well."
"During the days you've been busy outside, do you have people who can replace you?"
Fuzi: "The son of the owner of Shanhai Bookstore is very thoughtful."
"What's the idea?"
"Master, take the printing of books for example. Those romantic picture books are sold at high prices, and they use the worst paper. However, those books that you have compiled to promote the development of the Qing Dynasty are sold at moderate prices, and they all use the best paper."
"He said, first of all, those romance picture books are read by ladies from wealthy families, and those writers are all frustrated poor scholars, and they are all nonsense. If those ladies read them, it will harm others! He is a businessman and has to sell them, but the quality is poor. Many ladies who are used to seeing good things may not read them if they are disliked by others."
"Secondly, if the paper is of poor quality, it can be circulated as little as possible. The ladies from wealthy families are not short of money, but the girls from ordinary families who buy a book together to circulate among each other, or buy a second-hand copy to read, are poor to begin with, and if they are deceived, wouldn't it be very miserable?"
"In addition to being placed in the library that is being built, those useful books are also set up for all interested people, some rich and some poor, with moderate prices, and can be circulated many times, so as to maximize the number of people who can learn new knowledge and new skills."
"It's an interesting one, Xiaolu, how about you here?"
"Master, I have the daughter of an embroiderer who works in an embroidery workshop. The girl is very fast at calculating, she doesn't even need an abacus, and she rarely makes mistakes, and she also has no problems dealing with people."
"She did all the recent calculations, and I checked them again with an abacus, and there were no mistakes."
Su He suddenly reached out and slapped his forehead, "I forgot, I forgot. How could I forget such an important thing!"
"Miss?"
"After dinner, we will train a manager or accountant for each of these two shops, the embroidery shop, and Doctor Wei's dessert and ice cream shop."
"Yes."
"Since both of you are able to get away from your original shops, let's start doing what I wrote in my letter."
"Xiao Lu, keep the printing and dyeing formula. From the site selection, you decide everything yourself, including which master's wife you choose to cooperate with and how many partners you choose. The choice is up to you. After all, it is you who will be dealing with her."
"Remember, don't be afraid of being slow or making mistakes. If you really can't handle it, send someone to the palace to deliver the message."
"Fuzi, the same goes for you. Although the partners above you are written by me, they only share the profits and do not participate in anything in the restaurant. You only need to send them dividends every year."
"You two will share 20% every year."
"Madam, this restaurant has so many partners. It would be wrong for me to take 20% by myself. Besides, we are just workers. How can we get dividends?"
Xiao Lu also nodded, "Yes, Madam, and 8% is so much. I read Sister Fuzi's letter. The concubines in the harem plus Lord Dai only took 2%. Madam Hua Guifei paid a full 2 taels of silver notes, and only got %. We contributed a little."
"Just take it if I give it to you. This is not enough for you. When you have other business, you will be an expert and can handle things on your own, and the share will be higher."
