The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

There are undercurrents in the capital and a storm is about to come.

The news that Qin Ruo, who was far away in Taihe County, Ganzhou, was going to Beijing to receive the title and that the entire Qin family was going to Beijing to watch the ceremony spread like wildfire.

Before the people from the Ministry of Rites arrived, visiting cards from the Qin family came in like snowflakes.

Every family with a little bit of status in Taihe County hoped to take this opportunity to establish some relationship with the Qin family.

Some even tried every possible means to find members of the Qin clan in the hope of establishing a connection with the Qin family.

Faced with this sudden enthusiasm and flattery, Qin Ruo still declined the invitations politely, just like she did in Ganzhou, saying that she had many things to prepare for her trip to Beijing.

Qin Huaisheng treated it as a formidable enemy, and his restrictions on his clansmen were even stricter than Qin Ruo's.

One glory and one glory.

After Qin Huaisheng became the patriarch of the Qin family, he understood this even more clearly.

As the patriarch of the Qin clan, he strictly required clan members not to accept gifts from anyone, not to associate with people of unknown origin, and to maintain the Qin clan's good reputation and low profile.

Before the people from the Ministry of Rites arrived, Qin Ruo took Qin Zimu back from the academy and asked for leave from the teacher of the academy.

On the day Qin Ruo and Lord Pan and their entourage left, the Qin clan members, led by Qin Huaisheng, and the villagers who came spontaneously, accompanied the Qin family and Lord Pan and their entourage all the way to the exit of the village.

Changhe Village has a rare sense of unity and solidarity.

Qin Ruo arranged many things before leaving.

When Yun Niang received the news that Qin Ruo was coming to Beijing, she took the initiative to close her tavern and concentrated on managing Qin Ruo's business.

In Yunniang's words, it is difficult to find a true friend in life, so she will do her best to ensure that Qin Ruo does not have any worries.

In the Qin Mansion, Qin Ruo also deliberately left behind several trustworthy servants and stewards to ensure that all affairs in the family were in order.

Taihe County has Qingsheng and his team, as well as people specially left behind by Si Heng, to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

In Ganzhou, except Yunniang and Xue Jing, Song Shiqi and Jiang Wu who were affiliated with Jiuyoumen organization have all moved there.

Business matters will not be greatly affected by Qin Ruo's absence.

Xue Jing was not idle in Ganzhou either. In the past two months, he sent a large number of people to purchase a large amount of sugarcane from all over Lingnan and transported it back to Ganzhou.

Qin Ruo wants to open a sugar workshop in Ganzhou to refine white sugar.

The only three types of sugars available during the Great Sheng Dynasty were sucrose, maltose and honey.

The honey is basically wild honey, because no one in Dasheng knows how to raise bees, and the amount of wild honey is quite scarce.

The existing maltose is made from rice, starch and malt after a series of saccharification and boiling, and is also commonly known as maltose.

It is characterized by a thick texture and low sweetness.

Sugarcane syrup is a thick sucrose obtained by extracting sugar from beets and sugarcane and boiling them into juice.

The solid sugar that appeared in Dasheng, which is similar to the modern yellow rock sugar, was all tribute from foreign countries.

Sugar is a luxury for ordinary people.

If white sugar could be produced in large quantities, it would not only fill the gap in sugar products in Dasheng, but could also be sold to foreign countries and quickly accumulate wealth.

She has the technology to make sugar, and she also has plenty of room for the raw material, sugarcane.

As partners, she still chose Si Heng and Xue Jing.

Once the white sugar is refined, it will definitely attract the covetousness of all parties. With her current strength, she is not enough to compete.

Qin Ruo handed over all matters concerning the sugar factory to Xue Jing.

The sugarcane that Xue Jing had his people purchase from various places has been shipped back to Ganzhou in batches.

Craftsmen with rich experience in sugar-making have all arrived and have been waiting in Ganzhou early.

Before going to the capital, Qin Ruo selected several young people from the Qin family who were willing to go out and explore the world, and sent them to Ganzhou to be taken care of by Yun Niang.

Qin Ruo and his party entered the capital from Taihe County. They had been on the road for more than 20 days and it was almost the end of November.

Taihe County is close to the capital, and it can be reached in more than 20 days if you travel quickly.

It’s just because the emperor’s birthday banquet is on the ninth day of December, so there is still time.

Because Madam Xie was accompanying them on the journey, the people from the Ministry of Rites dared not to be negligent.

Taking Mrs. Xie's physical condition into consideration, the itinerary was arranged more flexibly.

Princess Ning'an came to the capital to be conferred a title, and she was accompanied by the eldest princess of Dasheng. Officials from prefectures and counties along the way originally wanted to hold a banquet to entertain them.

But I received a notice in advance that Madam Xie is old and doesn't like trivial matters. Princess Ning'an has many things to do in the canonization process, so it is inconvenient for her to accept the banquet.

Officials from all regions only need to strengthen protection along the way to ensure a safe journey.

The county officials had no choice but to give up and cancel their plan to go in person to greet them. Instead, they increased security along the way to ensure that the group could arrive in the capital safely.

Qin Ruo's team's journey to Beijing went quite smoothly because of Qin Ruo's caution and Madam Xie's prestige.

Along the way, Madam Xie was well taken care of by Nanny Zhang and Mingyue, so she didn't feel particularly rushed during her daily journey.

Plus, I'm still in good health and spirits.

Every day when I go to the post station to rest, I can also chat with Qin Ruo about personal matters.

And Old Mrs. Qin suffered a great punishment.

The farthest place she had ever been to in her life was Taihe County.

Although the journey was not rushed and the road was flat, the long period of continuous travel almost cost her half her life.

Especially when they changed routes and spent a few days on the boat, even after taking the seasickness medicine that Qin Ruo had prepared for her, Old Lady Qin still felt dizzy and vomited everything she ate.

Along the way, I actually lost more than ten pounds.

Qin Ziyan, Qin Zimu, and Qin Tiaotiao are all OK. They are young people with lots of energy.

Even though the journey was difficult, I was attracted by new things. Apart from a slight feeling of fatigue, I felt no discomfort.

They were getting closer and closer to the capital, and would arrive in two or three days, but Qin Ruo's mentality was becoming more and more peaceful.

I even had the mood to appreciate the scenery along the way.

Since traveling to the Great Sheng Dynasty, Qin Ruo has never stopped exercising this body.

After the spiritual spring was reopened, the quality of this body improved by leaps and bounds. It is no exaggeration to say that it has been reborn.

This journey was nothing to her.

The atmosphere in the Lu Mansion in the capital has been somewhat depressing these days.

After the palace examination, Lu Jingchen was selected as the third place in the imperial examination by the emperor and was granted the seventh-rank position of editor in the Hanlin Academy, mainly responsible for revising the national history and court classics.

Half a month ago, Lu Jingchen married Lin Wanning, the daughter of Earl Zhongyuan, with the help of both parents.

This was the opposite of the outcome he wanted when he left Taihe County.

As Qin Ruo got closer to the capital, Lu Jingchen became more and more anxious.

After returning from the Hanlin Academy today, he has been in the study for a whole night, but he still can't calm down.
