I want to do research even if I have no money

However, Bai Qiyun seemed to be in a fight with him, walked in front of him, and there was a pit between them, "I should have done this, why didn't you call me, and didn't you call the servants to help?"

"Anyway, I'm idle, and I'm idle. It's just a hole to fill in. It doesn't take much effort, and it will be filled soon."

Bai Qiyun rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll come too..."

"No need, I can handle it myself," Luo Wu stopped her from helping, "Have you just finished eating? Exercising after eating is not good for your health. This is what the owner said, and what he said has always been true. "

Bai Qiyun had no choice but to stand aside and watch him fill in the hole. Luo Wuyue was more than a year younger than her, but he was tall, at least half a head taller than her. Bai Qiyun looked at his arm with his sleeves rolled up, the muscle lines were beautiful.

"You are obviously the chief steward of the manor, but many times I see you doing it yourself." Bai Qiyun had nothing to say, "Shouldn't the chief steward be the one who directs people to do things?"

Luo Wu shoveled another piece of soil, and pressed the surface of the pit with the back of the shovel, "I was also a servant before, and I was used to doing many things. If I can do it myself, I don't bother others. Well, there are also tenants, they are all from Chengning Villa, not my own subordinates, and mobilizing them to work should also be for the manor and the owner, not for myself."

"You are young, but you have so many great principles, just open your mouth."

"Uncle Ji taught me these things. He is a knowledgeable old man, just like my master."

"Master? Do you mean Mr. Situ Li?"

Luo Wu shook his head, "It's the owner's father, he is a well-known figure, he is amazing! It's a pity he passed away a few years ago."

"Sorry." Bai Qiyun didn't expect to touch Luo Wu's scar, so she apologized.

"It's okay, Master and Madam are in heaven now, they must be living well."

While Luo Wu and Bai Qiyun were chatting, Situ Meng was looking for someone all over the manor.

He listened to the tenants' complaints all day today, and felt his head dizzy several times.Just when he was worrying about how to deal with these thorns and scratching his head in annoyance, he suddenly remembered the old things in the modern world.

When I was boarding at a relative's house, there was a boy next door who was about the same age as him. The boy was very tough when he was young, especially when he was in the second year of middle school. He was like a walking destruction machine. Everyone in the building was afraid of him. They all walk around him.

Later, after finally graduating from the technical school, his parents sent the bear boy who had just completed to serve in the army.

After returning from the first year of vacation, this bear boy is still a little skinny, but he is much better than before.When he came back from vacation in the second year, he had completely become a good young man, and it was impossible to see that he was a man with no limit.

Situ Meng wanted to talk to Luo Wu, but found that he couldn't find anyone. After looking around for two times in a daze, Situ Meng decided to write a letter to contact the officer in the Jiangnan General Military Camp first, and ask him if the military camp accepts people. alright.

In the letter, he explained the situation of these gangsters to the officers, and explained how he wanted to send these people to the barracks for exercise. Finally, he sealed the envelope and sent someone to the Jiangnan General Barracks the next day.

Commander Jian soon received a letter from Situ Meng. He glanced at it and replied, saying that anyone from the Jiangnan General Army Camp would not be rejected, even if he sent someone over, it would take less than three months under his command to cure any problem.

This is also Commander Jian opening the back door to Situ Meng. In fact, Jiangnan General Army Camp has high requirements for enlisted personnel, but the cooperation with Huahuo Factory was very pleasant before. Huahuo Factory not only produced the effect he wanted, but even far exceeded his imagination. , especially the prosthetic limb of the fire mechanism, has brought good news to the entire army.

He heard the power of Bai Qiyun's fire mechanism knife and saw reported by his subordinates, and he wanted to cooperate with Situ Meng's firework factory to manufacture a batch of new weapons.

After receiving Commander Jane's affirmative reply, Situ Meng immediately packed up the gangsters in the manor and sent them over.

These local ruffian village tyrants who used to let themselves go freely in the manor, after being specially "cared for" by Commander Jian, they practiced every day in the barracks, and they didn't even have the strength to be a monster, and fell asleep like a dog every night from exhaustion.

The facts are exactly as Commander Jane said, this group of village tyrants stayed in the general barracks for three months, and when they came back to the manor from vacation, they looked like different people.

Situ Meng and the others still had some disbelief in such a change, so they watched from the sidelines when they were training the guards. Seeing that they taught the basic skills of formation, attack and defense, they felt relieved.

Although the nurses selected before were all strong and strong people, these people did not have any martial arts skills at all, they just looked a little taller and stronger than ordinary people.

After a few training|teachings by the ex-thugs, the guards of the manor have already looked like some guards, and they are no longer ostentatious. Situ Meng feels very comforted.

And those ex-thugs were also very grateful to Situ Meng. Although the life in the military camp was hard, after they became familiar with the life of soldiers, they got along like ducks in water. Two of them even became platoon leaders.

The problem of village tyrants and gangsters came to an end, because Situ Meng once again got the "tenant's reputation" as a reward, and at the same time the system issued a new task for him——

[System: Now that the manor workshop has been in operation for a while, it's time to have special souvenirs belonging to Chengning Villa! 】Situ Meng thought, this "souvenir" should be sold to the public, just like those souvenirs from Ocean Park and Disneyland in the modern world.But if it wants to have the characteristics of Chengning Villa, if every workshop participates in the production, maybe it can be made into a package and sold as a whole.

Compared with many manors, Chengning Villa does not have much of its own characteristics, except for two—Huahuo Factory and Chengning Garden.

It is difficult to use the things made by the Fireworks Factory as souvenirs, but Chengning Garden itself uses the theme of rat terriers, and small objects and snacks in the image of puppies can be made in various workshops for sale.As for the Fireworks Factory, Situ Meng didn't want to abandon it selfishly. After thinking about it, it was already winter, so why not make a batch of fire mechanism hand warmers, the stoves were in the shape of a puppy's head.

This set of souvenirs was released for sale at the same time, during Chengning Garden’s opening hours four times a month. Because of its novel and cute shape, it received a good response, especially the hand warmer in the shape of a puppy head, which was sold out immediately.

In view of the experience and lessons learned in the first month, from the second month onwards, the number of souvenirs such as puppy head heaters has tripled. Even so, it is only enough to sell, and fake and shoddy products have appeared outside Chengning Villa .

Luo Wu got this news when he went to play chess with Uncle Ji's house.

Uncle Ji is the teacher who taught Luo Wu how to play chess, and also Luo Wu's life mentor.When he was teaching Luo Wu how to play chess and the official game, he discovered that Luo Wu was actually very talented. If he hadn't been bound by his status as a domestic servant, he might have been able to get along in the imperial court like a fish in water, and at least he could have become an aide to some high-ranking officials. .

"You mean, there is a merchant selling puppy hand warmers outside?" Luo Wu frowned subconsciously when he heard the news, "I have to go back and tell the young master about this, sorry I can't play chess with you today."

"Work is important, you go back!" Uncle Ji waved his hand, Luo Wu said goodbye to him and went back to the manor.

When Situ Meng suddenly heard that there was someone selling pirated puppy hand warmers outside, he also felt very troubled. He didn't think of a solution for a while, but at this time, my uncle returned to Yangzhou Mansion, and there was one less person to consult with.

The ancient times are different from the modern times. The common people have no sense of copyright at all, and they don’t care whether what they buy is real or not, as long as it looks the same and has similar functions, isn’t it the same as the real thing?Why waste time and money queuing up into Chengning Villa to buy?

Situ Meng also knew their psychology, and because he knew, it was even more difficult to deal with.

"How can we make our products unique, so that others can only buy them here, and they can't buy them anywhere else?" Situ Meng stroked his chin while pacing in the study.

Luo Wu: "I'm afraid it's difficult? Our products have flower prints, and the outside ones can also fake flower prints. As for the materials they use, they are worse than ours, but the price is also lower than ours. Generally, people take genuine products. Put it together with the imitation, and it is difficult to find it without picking it up and observing it carefully."

"Huahuo Yin can be faked, so what can't be faked?"

Situ Meng thought, in the modern world, one could scan the QR code to identify the authenticity, but how could there be such a smart thing in ancient times?And in ancient times, people didn't care about these...

"I thought of it!" Situ Meng said, "Brother, do you remember that in Situ's mansion, Dad once took a stack of paper that was paid as a tribute from overseas. That kind of paper is matched with ink. Different rays of light are refracted, and the writing on it will also change accordingly."

"Remember! That kind of paper and ink are matching, it seems to be called 'blue wave water pattern'? But it is a tribute, how can we get it?"

"Maybe uncle will know!" Situ Meng said, turned to the desk, and immediately wrote a letter to uncle.

If you can find this kind of paper, and sell hand warmers with an anti-counterfeit card, those small workshops will definitely not be able to get such paper, and there are many rich people in Jiangnan, and these people like to get together to compare with each other on weekdays. , genuine products with anti-counterfeit cards are naturally much more advanced than counterfeit products without anti-counterfeit cards; and as for some who like to be greedy for small things, even if they know that they are buying fake products, they will not care - this kind of customer Situ Meng I have given up. After all, some people's psychology is like this, and you can't change it.

Situ Li's work efficiency was as high as ever. Within a few days after the letter was mailed, he sent someone with a large box of "Blue Waves and Water Patterns". .

"The anti-counterfeiting card must be tied to the hand warmer," Situ Meng said to everyone in the design room of Huahuo Factory. The whole part can be buckled in this way, and then we wear the anti-counterfeiting cards inside and buckle them together with the hand warmer. I sealed these cards with a layer of film, which can be waterproof and moisture-proof. I also wrote the word "Huahuo Factory" on it, the style is similar to ours. The factory plaque is consistent."

One of the ignition mechanism designers took the card and pointed it at the sunlight outside the window, "This will prevent those people from impersonating our products? But will the cost be too high?"

Situ Meng: "The price of this kind of 'blue wave water pattern' paper is not high, mainly because it is difficult to obtain it, and only people who know it can obtain it. As far as I know, at present, in the whole Jiangnan, only my uncle, and The chairman of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce knows the way to obtain it, so the chairman of the Jiangnan General Chamber of Commerce will not sell paper to small workshops outside, right?"

An agreement was reached, everyone dismissed the meeting, returned to their respective posts, and rushed to produce the first batch of puppy hand warmers with anti-counterfeit labels. It was much higher, and everyone seemed to be crazy. Even those who had bought authentic hand warmers in Chengning Villa before came here to queue up to buy another one.

Looking at the seemingly endless queue, the two apprentices asked strangely: "Isn't this hand warmer similar to the one sold before? The material used is the same, except that there is a small chain and a small circle with a buckle. , and a small piece of anti-counterfeit card, how come there are so many people buying it, and there are those who have already bought the first edition, isn’t that a waste of money?”

"You still don't understand," Situ Meng said. "Let me ask you, are the people who bought these hand warmers back home really just to warm their hands? Who doesn't have a hand warmer? Why did they buy such a weird one?"

"Well... because it looks good?"

Situ Meng nodded, neither right nor wrong, "If it was you, you bought a hand warmer without an anti-counterfeit label, and your friend also bought a hand warmer, but his has an anti-counterfeit label , you stand together and use it together, what do you think?"

"I should be embarrassed to take out the hand warmer, right?" One of the female apprentices said, "If you put two hand warmers together, you can tell at a glance that my hand warmer was bought by a small workshop outside, and my friend will surely laugh at me." I."

Another male apprentice said: "Is it so exaggerated? Isn't it just a hand warmer, it's fine if you can use it or not?"

Situ Meng smiled and motioned him to look at the queue, "So you see, most of the people who line up to buy are women, even if they are men, most of them are buying for their families."

The two apprentices nodded thoughtfully, wondering if they had realized anything, and spent the rest of the time quietly observing the people who bought the new version of the hand warmer.

**

In Jingming Palace.

Depth of Field took out two hand warmers in the shape of puppy heads from his bosom, and handed one to Concubine Jian, "Mother Concubine, this is made by my friend in Yangzhou and their estate, I specially sent someone to send it from Yangzhou, you Do you like it?"

Concubine Jian was doing needlework, when she heard that she put down the needlework, it could be seen that she was making a small padded jacket.

"It's unique," Concubine Jian casually turned on the fire switch, and the heat overflowed from the small heater. The temperature is just right, which can warm people without scalding them. It's convenient. Your friend has an ingenious idea!"

Depth of Field: "Of course! Amon's fire mechanism is always very meticulous. You see, most of the gadgets I brought back from Ningshan are made by him himself!"

Princess Xueqing watched from the side, and teased him: "You are biased! Why did you only bring it to the mother concubine, what about my share? Oh, I know, this one in your hand is for me, right?"

Seeing Princess Xueqing reaching out to snatch it, Depth of Field immediately put the hand warmer back into his arms, protecting it with both hands to prevent Princess Xueqing from touching it, "It's not for you! It's mine!"

"Okay, okay! Don't tease your younger brother, he will be in a hurry with you if he accidentally breaks it later!" Concubine Jian helplessly mediates between the two siblings. Princess Xueqing is good at everything, she just likes to tease My brother's hobby makes people laugh and cry.

Princess Xueqing pursed her lips when she heard the words, temporarily let go of Jing Shen, and took out a hand warmer that was exactly the same as the one in Jing Shen's hand from her sleeve pocket, "I also have someone bring me a hand warmer, I don't care about yours!"

"Did Princess Zhen bring it to you? I heard that they went to Yangzhou recently?"

"Well, Cui Niang bought it specially. She said that when she wanted to buy it, there were many people queuing up. The scene can only be described as a sea of ​​people. She also waited in line for a long time to buy it." Princess Xueqing said: "And Cui Niang He also said that each person can only buy two of this hand warmer, if there are too many, it is very strict!"

Concubine Jian responded, cut off the excess thread with scissors, spread out the padded jacket, looked at it, and waved to the puppy who was gnawing on the puppet on the ground, "Meng Meng, come here! Wear it to see if it fits!"

Princess Xueqing took a look at the little padded jacket, and said, "It's warm in the room, such a thick padded jacket, I'm afraid it might cause a rash from the heat?"

"I think Mengmeng usually likes to play in the yard, but when it snows, the yard will be cold."

"My concubine treats Mengmeng better than us!" Princess Xueqing scolded.She suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, didn't you pay tribute to many blue water patterns before? Why didn't I find it just now?"

"Aren't they all in the warehouse? If you search carefully, there will always be some." Concubine Jian said.

On the side, Jing Shen took a sip of tea from a water cup, leaned over and used a hand warmer to tease Meng Meng, who was wearing a small padded jacket, as if he didn't hear the conversation between his mother and sister.
