Chapter 341: Getting Involved in the Ocean Business
On the third day, the bride and groom will leave for their parents' home. Daman asked Xiaohu and Erya to send them to Fucheng, and Erya didn't think much about it and sent them with Xiaohu. When I arrived in Fucheng, I learned that Daman and Wu Tong wanted her to help ask the doctor of Chunlintang to see if Wu Tong could give birth.
The last time Daman came back, Er Ya said that Shopkeeper Zhao knew an old doctor in Fucheng who specialized in treating women's diseases. This old doctor is not very famous, but people are helpless to treat some famous doctors such as women's cold disease, confinement disease, and dysmenorrhea, but they can be eliminated by taking three medicines. Erya didn't expect that she just mentioned it, and these two people would really beg to come to the door.
The old doctor took Wu Tong's pulse, asked her about her living habits and usual physical condition, and then told them: "There is no problem with your body, you can definitely give birth!" It's just that your situation is a little different from ordinary people, some can get pregnant once a year, some get pregnant once every three or four years, you are longer, and it is normal to get pregnant once in seven or eight years. You may also have passed it from your parents, and the female masters of your ancestors should have such a thing! β
Wu Tong nodded excitedly when he heard this, "Yes, yes!" My grandmother was born seven or eight years after giving birth to my eldest uncle, but then only three years later, she gave birth to my second uncle, what happened? β
The old doctor was asked, he only knew that there was such a rule, but he really didn't know the reason for it! However, Wu Tong and Xiaohu don't care about that answer, as long as they can be born, it doesn't matter sooner or later.
After sending them away, the second girl who returned home told the uncle and aunt the good news. Uncle and aunt naturally don't dislike having many grandchildren, and of course they are also excited tears.
Erya thinks about what she has produced in a few workshops and sold in the local market for so many years. There's not much room for growth anymore. Erya plans to expand the market to the periphery, which should naturally be handed over to the market development department of the "business" department.
She is not at ease when the market development department is handed over to others, and the most suitable person in her heart is Wu Fenggang. Although Wu Fenggang was appointed as a scout by the world, this scout was no longer a spy sent to the other side to collect enemy reports for a long time when the two armies were facing each other or when the two countries were fighting. It's just a title here, and their real role is to probe the hidden crises in various places. If the bodyguards of the world are knives on the bright side, then they are the eyes of the dark places. Because the nature of Wu Fenggang's profession just needs to stay in various places to observe, and the market is developed. It also requires a preparation time of four or five months or one or two years in the development area. Wu Fenggang's talent and the nature of his work finally made Erya decide to appoint him as the head of the marketing department. Wu Fenggang himself and the chief dart head had no opinion, and this matter was determined.
There is the help of Chunlin Hall and the world in the open and in the dark. Everything Wu Fenggang did in his hands was smooth. Even after Boss Lin opened the hot pot restaurant everywhere and said hello to local acquaintances, the follow-up matters were also handed over to Wu Fenggang to do, and he never showed up. Er Ya was amazed by his ability to do things without moving his nest, and he was also full of curiosity about his behavior of not moving his nest.
The market development department has just been set up here. It has not yet had time to form a finance department. The prefect of Qin hurriedly sent someone to find Erya to have something big in the past: "Wang Niangzi!" Go to the capital and take a look, those foreigners don't know how to offend the emperor and are imprisoned! β
As soon as Erya heard this, she was anxious, and she didn't care about being polite to Governor Qin, "How can there be such a thing?" Didn't you say that you invited them to be guests? How could you offend the emperor in the capital? β
"Actually, it wasn't invited by the government, it was the emperor who heard that there were foreigners from overseas here, and sent a message to the government to send them over."
This matter cannot be excused. If you don't know, forget it, now that you know. You always have to take care of it. They don't know anyone here, only some people from their own side, and if they don't have anyone to help them, even if they don't hurt their lives, they can't say how long they will be locked up.
Before leaving, Er Ya selected one from several good horses in the family, which was the descendant of the red flame horse that the prefect had presented to the emperor. There are actually two descendants left by the Red Flame Horse here, and the other pony was picked up by the eldest prince of the Qin Governor's Mansion when he was half a year old. This pick the remaining horse is also very good, plus there are women on the grassland to help feed and train, in fact, it has become the best horse among the Wang family's horses. Erya usually uses it to attract the eye, and she is reluctant to use it at all, but this time she had to take it away and give it away, and she just wanted to scratch the wall.
Hurried to the capital, but there was no chance to meet the emperor, and if he didn't see the emperor, he couldn't understand the details of the foreigner's real detention, and he didn't know why he was detained, so he couldn't think of a way to save people. Erya was in a hurry in the capital, and finally got the help of General Qin's family to introduce him to the emperor to offer a good horse. When she saw the emperor, she didn't dare to directly mention the matter of saving foreigners, she only asked for a grace, just to know why foreigners were imprisoned?
It turned out to be a misunderstanding caused by a language barrier, and it was because those foreigners were unwilling to kneel down to worship when they saw the emperor, and they were accused of being disrespectful by many ministers, which led to their imprisonment. Knowing that this is the reason, Er Ya has the bottom in her heart. The people outside said everything, although she didn't believe it all, but she was also disturbed and lost her consciousness.
When he returned to the inn, he expounded the doctrine of the foreigners' beliefs (except to bow down to their gods, not to bow down to all idols, kings, parents, living people, and dead people on the earth). And it is pointed out that whether it is to bow down or to accept it, it will be detrimental to oneself. After writing the memo, he asked the people of the World Dart Bureau to arrange for a minister who knew the etiquette of various countries to submit it to the emperor in his name. After that, she didn't care anymore, she did what she had to do, and the result was in the hands of God.
Fortunately, the minister of etiquette entrusted by the world is also a serious and responsible person, and he really carefully examined the doctrine that Erya said. In fact, the beliefs of these foreigners were transmitted to the Central Plains as early as the Tang and Song dynasties, but they were not as deeply rooted in the folk as Taoism and Buddhism, so few people knew about them. But it is still recorded in the canon of the treasury. Now that the minister has found out the source, he is relieved to boldly hand over Erya's recital in his own name, and also points out the source of the records he found one by one.
This emperor is called Feng Batian. But it's not true, it's so domineering that even the sky has to be taken for himself. Although he could not be as enlightened as Li Shimin, he was not stupid, and he knew that he was wrong to blame the foreigners, so he immediately released him and continued to prepare for the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
However, this Feng Batian is also quite cute, when he explained to those envoys. It has been repeatedly stated that you must not bow down to their king until death, or you will come back with death! These were originally drifting all the way sadly, until they got there and really didn't need to kneel and worship themselves. Only then did he shake off a cold sweat, and he was lucky to save a small life.
The affairs of the court are not something that Erya can participate in, as soon as the foreigners over there are released, she rushes home. Because I got the news in advance that the emperor was going to send an envoy overseas. She just wanted to take a ride. Hurry up and prepare silk, porcelain, and other things that can be sold at a high price in the ocean, and it is not difficult to buy here. He also packed up a few cars of fur garments, leather bags, high-end towels, silk flowers and embroidery from the Hongxiu embroidery room. In addition, she selected ten children who volunteered to go overseas and let them follow these foreigners to study there for a few years in the advanced subjects of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, which were not valued in the Central Plains.
Originally, Erya had already said that he would let the third uncle lead the team overseas, but unfortunately because the third uncle Wang had heard of many accidents that he had not been able to come back from the sea, he was extremely frightened and resolutely refused, and finally had to let Zhao Fujin, who had been with the third uncle as an assistant for a few years, lead the team. Since then, the third uncle no longer does things for Erya, but leads a team alone, and the runners from the south to the north are doing quite well.
The dividends of the sweater workshop were still distributed to the third uncle. After that, the shares will be automatically invalidated, which is what was stated when the contract was signed. So there is no dispute between the two parties.
Every management share given by Erya is like this, you have it when you are in the post, and if you leave, the share will be automatically invalidated. And everyone who signed the contract expressed their understanding and agreement, and the same was true for the third uncle. Because this is the third uncle's initiative to break up the gang, Erya does not feel sorry for withdrawing his shares. If you want to do a good job in management, you must strictly follow the agreed system, if you have to look at people's feelings, then it is better to close down as soon as possible.
After the third uncle went it alone, he did very well, and his income was not lower than when he helped Erya do things, and the third aunt stopped Wang Shoucheng's shares from Erya and was not as angry as she was at the beginning, and then she still got along with her. Grandpa, uncle, and big milk basically don't care about their business, so they don't ask.
Naturally, it can't be Erya's family who take a tailwind boat, and there are more than 60 big river boats in the capital that come from the canal (these boats can't go to sea, and they have to change to long-distance sea boats when they get to the sea), and it is said that there is also a convoy with a considerable scale to go to the sea by land.
The foreigners followed the land convoy back to Wangjiazhuang, and all the goods they had brought over to prepare for trading were left to Erya. Seeing that Er Ya had already prepared enough silk and porcelain for them, he left Er Ya a small box of jewelry and diamonds, which was far more valuable than the silk and porcelain that Er Ya had prepared for them, but Er Ya accepted it with peace of mind when he thought of the good horse that his family had sent away.
Sending off the foreigners, Erya actually felt that she was relaxed and cheerful like unloading Mount Tai on her head. She didn't look at the foreigners' things before she didn't take them out, but now that they are her own, of course, she has to take a good look at what is new.
After looking through it for a long time, Erya was disappointed, and it turned out to be some kaleidoscopes, music boxes, and automatic beating green frogs, which are children's things with no technical content at all. Fortunately, there are other things that comfort her a little, which are telescopes, magnifying glasses, and crystal cups (real crystals, not glass).
However, good things are generally left at the end for a plot reversal. This was no exception, and it wasn't until everything was almost finished that Erya saw a bunch of things that surprised herβthe raw resin that formed amber. Maybe they thought it wasn't worth much, so they let other things press on top of them.
Erya gave all the things that the children played with to Liao's shopkeeper to sell in the children's clothing store, and the binoculars and magnifying glasses were ready to be sent to the glass workshop for the glass master to do, and the resin was kept by himself, ready to make sunglasses.
