The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Emperor Yuan Shun felt a little regretful at this time. He should have asked the maid earlier.

"Write it down and arrange it today."

The Minister of Revenue volunteered to take notes, and Shen Jiarou continued to repeat the story until the Minister of Revenue finished recording.

"One by one, check it out for yourself."

The Minister of Revenue handed over the rice paper respectfully, and Shen Jiarou checked it one by one.

"Yes, that's right. I wonder how Father will arrange it."

She thought it might be necessary to use her own people.

"Lend your people to the Ministry of Works and teach them."

Shen Jiarou nodded slightly, "Okay, Madam Su, gather those people in the front yard and go back with the Ministry of Works later."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was deeply relieved to see that the little girl was so sensible.

"Yi Yi, you have done a great job again."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly and said, "Then I can go back to my fiefdom next year to take a look, right?"

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty did not hide his feelings and scratched the tip of her nose lovingly.

"You, okay. When the time comes, father will arrange for someone to escort you back to your fiefdom."

Shen Jiarou bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Father."

It has been almost a year since I came to Kyoto, and I don’t know how my fiefdom is doing now.

Although her subordinates would send her messages every half month, she wanted to go out for a walk.

No matter how good the capital is, it’s a bit boring.

The Minister of Works brought his men back to the Ministry of Works. He first cut pits in the room where officials rested in the backyard of the Ministry of Works, and finally experimented by cutting a few pits in the homes of several officials. Now the people in the Ministry of Works have also learned how to do it.

During this period, Shen Jiarou's dessert shop and candied haws shop each launched four types of food, each limited to ten kilograms, and became popular in Beijing for a while.

"Hey, I heard that the candied fruit shop has launched a new product recently."

"I've heard that too. Each item is limited to ten kilograms, and each person can only buy half a kilogram. Half a kilogram costs one tael of silver."

"It's a bit expensive, but it's rare and valuable, so it's sold exclusively."

"that's right."

Due to the launch of the new product, other snacks in the shop also indirectly sold better.

Shen Jiarou did some calculations and found that half a catty is one tael, so ten catties is twenty taels.

If each item is sold for about 1,000 kilograms, that would be 20,000 taels.

A shop sells four kinds of products, which costs 80,000 taels.

The two shops cost 160,000 taels.

Now other snacks in the shop are selling well. At least in this March, we can sell tens of thousands more taels. The total sales of the two shops should be more than 200,000 taels.

Even if we deduct half of the cost, there is still a profit of more than 100,000 yuan.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiarou decided to sell more next year.

Ruan Qingling and Zhen Luosang checked the income in the account book and were delighted.

"Princess, our funds have suddenly become active."

"There's no need to be so anxious now."

Zhang Zirou glanced at Zheng Shutong and said, "I wonder how much income that dirt pit can bring."

Zheng Shutong thought seriously, "The emperor said that one earth pit is worth one hundred coins to the princess. If there are one hundred households, then it is ten taels."

Element Frost, who was standing guard quietly, said, "There must be more than a hundred families. There are at least a hundred families in the capital alone. Some of the mansions must have burned many pits. Even if there are five thousand families, that would be five hundred taels."

Shen Jiarou listened quietly to the discussion. "Benefiting the country and the people comes first, and money is secondary."

The capital now has a new topic of conversation, which is even more talked about than new food.

"I heard that the dirt pit is very popular recently."

"Oh, yes, my niece has them at home. I've tried them and they're very warm when I lie on them."

"Yes, and it was cut by people appointed by the court, so the quality is guaranteed."

In the teahouse, talented people chatted happily.

"I don't know who made this. I am so grateful to her."

"According to rumors, I heard that the first earth pit started from the Princess's Mansion."

"Which princess's mansion?"

"I heard it was Princess Yongkang's mansion. It seems the princess had it cut."

"So the princess made it."

……

The discussion outside also flowed into the princess's mansion. Shen Jiarou lay in bed with a hand warmer on her head. She was practicing calligraphy quietly and seriously.

Perhaps she found calligraphy boring, so she started practicing painting.

Ruan Qingling came in with the plum blossom tea and put it down gently.

"Princess, have some tea to warm your stomach."

Ruan Qingling came closer and was surprised to see the red plum blossoms blooming on the rice paper.

"Why did the princess want to paint? It looks so real."

Shen Jiarou smiled gently and said, "Try it and stimulate your potential."

Yaer, who was in charge of grinding ink, looked up in confusion, "Princess, what is potential?"

Shen Jiarou felt embarrassed but did not show it in front of others.

"How should I describe it? It's like some talent. For example, Ya'er, you are now particularly good at housekeeping and making tea. This is also a way to stimulate potential. Keep working hard and strive to reach a higher level."

The maids in the study were surprised when they heard this.

The people from the Ministry of Works were divided into two teams, one responsible for the city and the other responsible for the countryside.

The imperial court issued written loans to families who had no money, with a repayment period of six months. This relieved the pressure on the people and increased the revenue of the national treasury.

The princess's mansion cut a lot more, mainly into the servants' rooms and then the guest rooms.

For the rest of the days, everyone slept very comfortably every day.

"Oh, this earth pit that the princess had built is really nice. I feel warm all over recently."

"Yes, it seems my old cold legs have gotten much better."

……

Zhang Zirou listened to the discussion of the old women with a slight smile on her face.

Their master is the best master, beautiful and kind.

The daughters of the Marquis of Yong'an took their visiting cards to the Princess's Mansion, and were personally taken to the Suiyouyuan in the backyard by Nanny He.

"Princess, I have brought the ladies from the Marquis' Mansion."

Shen Jiarou put down the needle and left the embroidery frame.

"Sisters, please sit on the couch."

There was a charcoal fire burning in the room, and a window was opened to ventilate and clear the air in the room to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

As soon as everyone came in, they felt warm. Fortunately, the main courtyard of the princess's mansion was big enough and the main house was spacious enough. More than 20 people came in and there was still enough space.

Jiang Shulan looked at the dazzling array of food and had long forgotten the cold.

"Princess sister, it's great to follow you. The food and toys are special, and I have learned a lot."

Everyone laughed when they heard her words.

Jiang Shuya picked up a piece of dried sweet potato and tasted it. Suddenly, she was surprised. "Hey, this is delicious. It's a little crispy and sweet."

Ruan Qingling explained softly, "Miss, this is dried sweet potato, which is naturally sweet and will make you feel full after eating it."

Jiang Shuyuan nodded and said, "That's true. I heard that the two shops run by Princess Sister sell new products in limited quantities every day, and many people haven't tried them yet."

"Yes, I can only sell it for three months. I'll keep the rest for myself, but there's not much left, so I won't sell it."

During the time they spent together, everyone knew that the princess was a foodie. She often researched various foods, and many of the foods in the shop were created by her.

Jiang Shuyuan agreed and smiled, "That's true."

Jiang Shuhan was also very interested in the earth pit.

"Sister Princess, how did you come up with that earth pit?"

Everyone also looked at her.

"I felt cold reading on the couch, so I asked someone to try it. I didn't expect it to work."

She only remembered sleeping in earth pits in the north, but she was from the south and had never actually seen one, so she just tried it out, and she actually figured it out.
