Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

Zhao Yuanzhen gave them a lot of instructions and also told them some precautions.

The accounts and management of each shop, the management of servants, and various things that need to be done in the second half of the year.

"Last year, canned fruit sold well, so we can make more this year. We can also store more fruit. Apart from retail sales in a few shops, we don't need to go to every mansion to sell it. We can store it and sell it in the winter."

"Okay, Mom, I'll remember that."

"Well, the prices at fresh food shops and vegetables in greenhouses in winter are all priced at more than 20 times the price."

Zhao Yuanzhen was afraid that they had set the price too low. You know, scarcity makes things more valuable. It is estimated that her family is the only one with fresh vegetables in winter. 20 times the price is not expensive.

"Okay, Mom, I'll remember that."

After giving all the instructions she could think of, she would set off for Xiaoshan County again in two days.

I went to your Majesty's cement shop and bought all the cement in stock, and had someone deliver it to the backyard of the storybook shop. I also instructed the shopkeeper to send two sets of new storybooks to the general's mansion every month, one for Yue Hongmian and one for the queen.

Go to the General's Mansion to see Yue Hongmian, and ask her if there is anything she wants to bring to my brother.

"Sister-in-law, I will be returning to Xiaoshan County in two days. Do you have anything to bring back for my eldest brother?"

"Yes, I have. I made something. You can bring it to your eldest brother."

Yue Hongmian handed the cloth bag she had prepared to Zhao Yuanzhen, feeling a little embarrassed because the bag was too big.

"Well, okay, sister-in-law, don't worry too much. I estimate that my eldest brother will be back in a few months."

The war is about to break out, and we can come back once we defeat the Jin Kingdom.

"I hope you all come back soon."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

After leaving Yue Hongmian, Zhao Yuanzhen handed a letter to His Majesty, telling him that the wheat on the farm had been harvested and asking His Majesty to send someone to pick it up.

This year, all the harvest from 1000 acres of land has been turned in.

Fortunately, we planted a lot of rice last year, so there is enough to eat.

The next day, His Majesty indeed sent a team of men to collect the wheat.

I told the leader some precautions on wheat storage, some farming tips, etc.

The cotton fields have been planted.

Zhao Yuanzhen also wrote detailed methods and approaches to Qian Xiaohui on various issues such as cotton harvesting.

Zhao Yuanzhen estimated that this batch of cotton could produce at least 60 kilograms.

Make a set of thin quilts and a set of thin cotton clothes for each person in the village, keep 5 kilograms for your own use, and sell the rest.

Things in the capital have come to an end for the time being, and she is going back to Xiaoshan County, where people are still waiting for her.

Before leaving, she took away all the groceries prepared by the grocery store, and she also took away more than 2 packs of instant noodles freshly made by the instant noodle workshop.

A lot of young livestock were left with the transport team and they were asked to carry them back to the farm.

She also kept 20 tons of shell feed from the farm.

The transport team helped her deliver the cement to the Yellow River ferry, with the main purpose of concealing her tracks.

When she arrived at the ferry, she packed all her things into the space, took the two maids and the doctor, and drove the carriage at full speed towards Xiaoshan County.

Because she was traveling by horse-drawn carriage this time, she was a few days slower than when she came here. It took more than 20 days, and by the time she arrived at Yanshan Prefecture, it was already mid-July.

She left half of the products produced by various workshops she brought with her in Yanshan Prefecture and had the transport team transport them, just for show, and took the other half back with her.

When the transport team brought the goods back and stored them in the warehouse, Zhao Yuanzhen also checked them.

"Second sister-in-law, you are back. You have worked hard on the journey. I have prepared some water for you. Please take a good shower and have a rest."

Zhang Qingyan hurried out to greet them.

"okay."

Lan Ying served her throughout the whole process, and after she finished washing up, she gave her a comfortable full body massage.

It is really tiring to ride in a car, especially for such a long distance. The whole body feels uncomfortable. I feel much more comfortable after the massage.

Zhao Yuanzhen rested for half a day and decided to talk about it tomorrow.

Fortunately, there was no problem in Zhangjiazhuang, and everything was going according to the plan she left before she left.

Zhao Yuanzhen inspected all the fields and found that the crops were growing well, except that there had been some drought recently.

She bought a rain-praying talisman for large-scale rainfall, and directly gave it to various plants in Xiaoshan County.

After this heavy rain, the harvest of crops will not be too bad. This is an important period for fruit production.

After a day of rain, the air became fresher and more moist.

Zhao Yuanzhen picked 20 smart servants from her own family and personally gave them sales training. These people would become her gold medal salesmen in the future.

During the training, Lan Ying, as well as the shop owners, managers, and Zhang Yu all participated.

There are a lot of fruits and vegetables coming down from the land now, and Xiaoshan County certainly cannot eat them all. Now Xiaoshan County, including these 2 people, has only more than thousand people.

They want to open up Yanshan Prefecture, and then continue selling to other prefectures.

After two days of training, Zhang Qingyan was asked to design special Zhang's sales staff uniforms for the sales staff, and also customized unique jade pendants belonging to Zhang's sales staff.

The transport team finally came back and put all the stuff into the warehouse. Zhao Yuanzhen took the opportunity to take out all the goods in her own space.

All the cement was delivered to the road construction team, and she also bought several hundred bags privately and sent them over as well.

The street where her shops are located has already been completely renovated.

She brought back various items and delivered them to various shops.

Grocery stores, fruit and vegetable stores, ceramic stores, bookstores and storybook stores, drink and dessert stores, grain stores, wine stores, clothing stores, clinics, snack stores, freight stores and other stores also customized plaques.

All the items were put in place, the place was cleaned, the shopkeeper and the staff were all in place, and the firecrackers were set off.

All shops are open.

Employees can enjoy a 9% discount on purchases.

All the remaining locks were thrown into the grocery store. Employees can still buy them for 240 wen, while others can buy them at the normal price.

Zhang Qingyan made work clothes for the employees and distributed them to everyone.

Because the shops were all next to each other on the same street, and they all wore similar work clothes, gradually this street came to be called Zhangjia Street.

A freight shop is equivalent to today's logistics company. It has its own experienced and skilled transport team, a large number of fleets, and can deliver goods to various bosses across the country.

It was a pity that Zhang Dao did not come along, but there was no need to worry. Zhao Yuanzhen picked out the best swordsmanship and archery and began to train those who were willing to join the transport team.

The military force of the transport team is still very important.

Relying on the inventory she brought, she would have no problem sustaining herself for a few months, but in the long run she still had to quickly open up various workshops.

Fortunately, during the time she returned to the capital, the large factory building of the workshop was built.

Ceramic workshops, paper mills, printing factories, wine-making workshops, needlework workshops, instant noodle workshops, food processing workshops, etc. all hired people and started to work.

Because there are contracted workers, supervisors and matters involving technical secrets are all done by our own people.

Just like the clay, firing time, temperature and so on of ceramics.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought and delivered all kinds of machines and raw materials that required time and effort, and all the workshops were in full swing.

The food processing workshop produces ingredients for dessert shops, chili sauce, instant noodle seasoning packets, etc.

Because these were all for cooking, Zhao Yuanzhen bought another 40 cooks. Together with her previous cooks, there were more than 60 cooks in total, so she did not hire any outsiders.

When all the finished products of the workshops come out, it is time for the gold medal salesperson to go out and do business.

This season's fruits and vegetables are starting to come down in large quantities.

The market was not open at all, so Zhao Yuanzhen had to dry most of the fruits.

Thinking about going to see his elder brother and giving him something, he waved his hand and took all the carriages of his own transport team to deliver some fruits and vegetables to the people in the military camp.

More than 30 horse-drawn carriages, loaded with goods, were heading towards the military camp.

Seeing the huge army coming, the scouts thought it was the imperial court transporting military rations, but they didn't expect it was Miss Zhao who came.

Zhao Yuanzhen asked someone to report to Zhao Yuanlan and asked him to send someone to take over the fruits and vegetables.

"Little sister, why did you bring so many things here?"

Zhao Yuanzhen listened to the report from his subordinates, saying that the eldest lady brought a caravan of more than 30 carriages loaded with goods.

"Brother, these are fruits and vegetables produced in our Zhangjiazhuang. I'll give you some and share them with everyone."

"Okay, then I'll bring the soldiers to thank you, and I'll distribute the goods to them later."

"Okay, brother, this bundle is given to you by your sister-in-law."

As he said that, he handed the big bag to Zhao Yuanlan.

"Are you coming back to Beijing?"

"Well, yes, I've only been back for two days, and my sister-in-law is doing well."

"That's fine. Let's go and talk in the tent."

Zhao Yuanzhen told the transport team to go back after unloading the truck and not to wait for her.

"Brother, His Majesty has given me the former Prime Minister's house."

"You must have given His Majesty something rare again."

Zhao Yuanlan knew the court etiquette, so this must be a great achievement, otherwise he would not have exceeded the etiquette so much.

"Brother is really smart. I donated all the high-yield wheat in our farm, more than 80 kilograms, to the national treasury as seeds."

"High yield? How many kilograms per mu?"

"The yield per mu is probably more than 800 kilograms."

"No wonder the yield per mu is so high."

This has increased several times. Not to mention giving him a prime minister's house, even giving him a street would not be a bad idea.

"Yes, big brother. I planted 3.5 mu of high-yield millet and wheat in Xiaoshan County, which can produce more than 2800 million kilograms of grain. I kept half for myself and sold the rest to the army as fodder at a price 1 cent lower than the purchase price of military rations."

In this way, a large part of food consumption can be solved.

"My little sister is righteous. I thank you on behalf of hundreds of thousands of soldiers."

As he said this he bowed.

“If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. There is not much I can do.”

Zhao Yuanzhen did this, firstly to help the soldiers, and secondly to accumulate virtue and do good deeds for himself.

"That's good enough, little sister."

Most businessmen are profit-oriented, and there are very few people like me who are so righteous.
