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

As for clay mines.

Although clay can also be used to make ceramics, ceramic products made from clay ore are more delicate and beautiful.

You can also show off your skills better.

Therefore, Zhao Yuanzhen took over all the clay mines.

Moreover, he has mastered the rules of thunderclouds very well, which are the ones summarized before.

Fortunately, this system has powerful shielding skills, otherwise I don’t know how many times I would have been blocked.

When they returned, it was already winter and the temperature began to drop. Especially since they were in the northernmost part of the country, the temperature dropped even more sharply.

Lan Ying has replaced all the items that can be replaced with winter items.

Thick door curtains, window curtains, quilts, mattresses, cotton slippers and so on.

A fire dragon was also burning inside the carriage.

Zhao Yuanzhen used coal directly, which had a high temperature and burned for a long time.

I was afraid that Lan Ying would be cold driving the carriage outside.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought her super thick cotton clothes, and a coat on the outside, cotton boots, cotton hat, cotton gloves, cotton scarf, and cotton mask.

Even a pair of windproof glasses.

It can be said that he is fully armed.

When sleeping at night, Zhao Yuanzhen always sets up a large tent first, and then puts the RV in the tent for double warmth.

The small fire dragon and clay stove in the car never stopped burning.

Fortunately, the effect of doing so is very obvious. Even in temperatures of dozens of degrees below zero, they did not suffer too much.

I wasn't frozen, but I wasn't too cold to sleep.

Each person has a quilt to cover themselves, and then another one on top.

Make sure the bed is warm.

The two of them walked and searched along the way. Due to the weather, the journey back to the city was more than a month slower than when they came here.

By the time we arrived at the trade fair, it was already past February.

She didn't even get back to collect the rubber grass.

I stayed at the market with Lanying for a day and checked the accounts of various shops. The next day, I drove the RV back with Lanying.

The two of them went back and took a good rest for a few days.

Drive away all the fatigue and hardships from the journey.

Zhao Yuanzhen has been resting in her ring space these days.

It is spring all year round in this space. You don’t have to endure the cold and you can be comfortably served by Cai Cai and Guan Guan.

Massage robots have been arriving for a long time.

Zhao Yuanzhen named him Technician No. 38.

Technician No. 38’s massage skills are excellent and can always help Zhao Yuanzhen relieve her fatigue.

The crops in the space have been harvested, as have the fruits.

A large warehouse is also designated for the storage of these crops.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuanzhen took into consideration that he was alone and did not reclaim much land, so it was more than enough to store it in a large warehouse.

The second batch has been planted.

Lu Ban and No. 7 dug a large pond with running water and planted many lotus flowers in it.

Next to the pond, a large pavilion was built specifically for Zhao Yuanzhen to enjoy the cool air and appreciate the lotus flowers.

A thoughtful little robot.

After resting for a few days, Zhao Yuanzhen, who felt alive again, began to report the expenses.

There are really a lot of accounts for these 8 months.

Zhao Yuanzhen was lazy and ordered an accounting robot, letting the little robot be responsible for checking the accounts.

He also changed his name to Accountant Zhao.

Accountant Zhao's efficiency is indeed much faster than Zhao Yuanzhen's. He has to take care of the accounts of so many shops, workshops, trade markets, and sales teams.

Accountant Zhao finished reading all of it in three days.

Also found 2 errors.

Zhao Yuanzhen found the shop owner in charge, pointed out the mistake, and asked him to take a look.

Finally, it was discovered that there was a duplicate entry in the account, and the income and expenditure accounts were not balanced.

Accountant Zhao is indeed the best.

The turnover in these eight months reached more than 7000 million.

The largest sales were recorded in November and December.

In the past two months, as the year is coming to an end, the fruits and canned fruits stored in autumn have begun to be put on the market, which has greatly increased the turnover.

The boss was not at home during the Chinese New Year, so the farm did not give out any New Year bonuses.

Zhao Yuanzhen had a great harvest this time when she came back. She gave New Year gifts to the shop owners, workshop managers, team leaders, squad leaders, and logistics staff.

Simple and crude, each person received 5 to 50 taels of silver.

Everyone who received the New Year's red envelopes long late was still very happy.

After pacifying the [shopkeepers who stayed behind] in Zhuangzi, Zhao Yuanzhen began to sort out the various items he had brought back this time.

One third of the ceramic clay we brought back was given to the ceramic workshop to let them oversee the firing.

Some coal is also stored in the warehouse as a backup resource.

Those who need to work in high temperatures can apply and come to collect it.

Take out some seafood and give it to the cooks so that everyone can have a taste.

The fluorite brought back had to be ground up and made into dye, so to do that, a pigment workshop had to be set up.

Zhao Yuanzhen didn't trust these hired people, so she had to buy a batch herself.

Driving her RV, Lan Ying took him to Yanshan Prefecture.

He selected several pawnshops and bought all the servants he needed.

Bought 50 in total.

I went to the [New Stuff] shop and saw that except for those on duty, all the salesmen were out doing business.

Among those who work under Zhao Yuanzhen, not counting Zhao Yuanzhen's rewards, the salesmen earn the most.

It’s amazing. The annual salary is close to 100 taels.

I fed him some chicken soup and stocked up on many items in the warehouse yard that I bought.

Like cement, various items in grocery stores, etc.

The most important thing is to place the machines for the paint workshop that is to be opened. Zhao Yuanzhen customized many small hand-cranked grinding machines.

To improve work efficiency, we still need the help of tools.

After the ownership of the 50 people was transferred, they were transported back by the transport team.

He found two of his former colleagues to be managers of the new workshop.

Two people work in a group and are responsible for refining a type of fluorite.

The person in charge is responsible for punching in and giving orders.

Also, take good care of the fluorite and don't lose it.

This stuff is very expensive when made into paint. If you steal a small piece at a time, it will add up to a lot of money.

There are many steps in making paint.

Grinding is just the first step.

Then it needs to be sifted, soaked in water, filtered, boiled with various ingredients, kneaded, dried in water, softened, precipitated, dried, ground, added with oil, and stir-fried before it can be used as paint.

The different process steps will result in different colors, some are darker and some are lighter.

Zhao Yuanzhen began to develop various colors according to the recipe.

There are indeed many procedures and steps, which require carefulness and diligence.

It took me half a month of research and production with the workshop before the color was fixed.

Finally, 48 colors were developed.

Each color is packed in a small ceramic bottle for easy transportation and sale.

Zhao Yuanzhen renovated the idle shop in the trade market and started selling pigments.

【Zhang’s Paint Shop】.

The shop sells more than just paint.

There are also various books on painting, as well as some study items, calligraphy and painting ornaments, etc.

It's just a side sale anyway.

Zhao Yuanzhen determined the price of the pigments after consulting other pigment shops.

There is no price increase or decrease. Just follow the market price.

However, Zhao Yuanzhen's shop has a wide variety of paint colors, so there is no problem selling them.

Things in the workshop came to a temporary halt; at least she didn't have to be there to watch and participate.

Last year, after deducting the rent, the remaining tens of thousands of acres of land used by the military camp were basically enough for the military camp to eat.

Zhao Yuanzhen planned to sell all the grain produced by his farm this year, except for the grain he would keep for himself to consume for the year. With the trade market, the grain sold very quickly.

The Jin Kingdom was even happier. Although it signed a humiliating treaty, it opened up a trading market with the Liang Dynasty.

You can buy unlimited amounts of food, and the quality and taste of the food are very good.

The weather in March has risen a bit, so there is no need to wrap yourself up like a cotton ball.

Last year's rubber grass was not harvested in time, so she decided to plant it again this year. She bought several hundred kilograms of seeds and asked the farmers to sow them on the sunny slopes of the mountains.

We bought a lot of young livestock for Zhangjiazhuang. A large part of the livestock we raised last year was killed. We will continue to add some more this year.

Cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese. I bought everything.

When I bought the cow, I remembered that the county magistrate loved to eat beef. Now that I am back, it is time for me to go and see the county magistrate.

I took 50 kilograms of beef and also asked for some seafood.

"Lan Ying, have you noticed that there are a lot more people in Xiaoshan County?"

"Yes, ma'am. I have also noticed that there are indeed a lot more of them. They must have been newly moved in."

It seems that Xiaoshan County is quietly recovering its former glory and may even be able to achieve greater glory.

At the county magistrate's mansion, I chatted with the county magistrate for a while, and found out that the registered population of Xiaoshan County has indeed increased a lot.

After coming out of the county magistrate's mansion, Zhao Yuanzhen wanted to take a walk on the street. It had been a long time since he last went shopping.

Even though I don’t have anything to buy.

But I still want to walk around.

The carriage was driven back by a servant, and Lan Ying accompanied her for a stroll.

Neither of them was walking fast, so when someone bumped into them, Zhao Yuanzhen immediately grabbed the person's wrist and took out her purse from him.

"You dare to steal in broad daylight, Lan Ying, send him to the government office."

When this man bumped into her, he stole the wallet that Zhao Yuanzhen had hung outside for show.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuanzhen reacted in time and did not give him a chance to escape or retreat, and he was caught red-handed.

"Please, Madam, don't send me to the government office. I have parents and children to take care of. Please have mercy on me and forgive me this time."

The caught pickpocket realized he was exposed and immediately burst into tears and knelt down to beg for mercy.

The pickpocket was unkempt and it seemed he hadn't washed for some time. He was dirty and smelly, but it was obvious that he was a middle-aged man.

"Yes, ma'am."

Lan Ying rolled her eyes at the person begging for mercy. He was a healthy person, but he actually did such a thing.

"There's no way I'll let you go. You're a repeat offender, just wait for the government officials to come."

"Please, Madam, open it... In-laws! You are the in-laws, right? It's me, mother-in-law, look, it's me!"
