"In ancient times, except for salt and iron, which were monopolized by the government, it seemed that only women's money was the best ......to earn," Shen Mengdie rubbed her chin with one hand, and tapped the table with her fingers with the other, secretly thinking about countermeasures in her heart.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Miss, Steward Zhao is here."

The maid's reminder made her stop what she was doing, straightened her sleeves and said to the person outside the door, "Come in." ”

"Squeak......" As the door opened, Steward Zhao brought in a small box of gold with two of his men.

"Boss, the money has been sent to you."

"Alright, you guys go back first. I'll send someone back to inform you of something, remember to arrange the entourage this time. When refuting Steward Zhao, Shen Mengdie did not forget to remind the other party to go to Kyoto again. Although the journey from Shen's house to Kyoto is not very far, it is still possible to prevent any unpredictable accidents on the way during the special period.

"Yes." After bowing respectfully, Steward Zhao took his subordinates and left.

Listening to the footsteps that were gradually walking away, Shen Mengdie walked to the box and opened it, and received it all into the system with the function that the system could scan. "It seems that it can still be used to hold silver taels, at least not worrying about being stolen."

Before this, she had already tried to take out the silver taels brought from the previous world, and after experimentation, this was indeed a feasible method, even if she was left alone in the wasteland, she could exchange the silver taels for food.

In the end, after exchanging a few sets of clothes that are different from the current style, I then exchanged some rouge gouache that works well in the system display. Looking at the large pile of items in front of him, Shen Mengdie sent a maid to take care of them, and then brought these rouge gouaches to the Shen family's workshop.

The Shen family has dabbled in the money-making industry, but as a family developed by agriculture, the Shen family has not studied these thoroughly, and after acquiring some ordinary formulas and improving them many times, the rouge gouache sold is still only a medium commodity, and those high-grade secret recipes are the secrets of the various rouge gouache families.

"Boss, how did you come up here?"

As soon as she arrived at a workshop, she was greeted by a middle-aged woman with a bewitching figure, and at the same time, a fragrant wind greeted her.

"You're the steward here?"

"Yes, I don't know if the owner is ......"

"I'll come over and inspect it, and I'll bring you something." Shen Mengdie slowly walked towards the inner room, and while looking around, the various mixed aromas became more and more intense.

"Boss, please come in quickly." The housekeeper greeted the person inside, and at the same time instructed the assistant who was waiting, "Go and prepare tea." ”

"You look pretty good here, but I wonder if there's anything new lately?" After Shen Mengdie sat down on the chair, she asked the housekeeper.

"Hey......" After the housekeeper sat down slowly, she sighed and said, "Although our products are popular with ordinary people, they are ...... in the circle of noble ladies."

Hearing this, Shen Mengdie also understood what the other party would say next, so she interrupted her words first. "I hope you will study these things carefully today."

"Qingrou, take out the things and show them to the steward." Shen Mengdie instructed Qingrou, who was standing quietly behind her, while not forgetting to look at the female steward's expression.

"This is ......" After opening a box of rouge, the housekeeper gently twisted it with her fingers, and said in surprise: "Owner, this is better than the rouge produced by Kyoto Rouge Pavilion, this is the secret recipe for your new acquisition?" ”

"No, you take it and study the ingredients in it to make a finished product." Regarding the surprised expression of the housekeeper, Shen Mengdie said no more. Instead, he secretly thought in his heart: "If there is a secret recipe, I will buy the finished product for you to study." ”

Seeing that the owner said this, the housekeeper did not continue to ask, and after handing it over to her assistant, she accompanied Shen Mengdie to inspect here. After this inspection of this place, Shen Mengdie did not understand the so-called process, but harvested a lot of new products.

After returning to the Shen family with this pile of rouge gouache, she sent someone to send some of them to Mo Qianxin's residence, and she sent someone to find charcoal and a soft ruler to draw down the appearance of the clothes she exchanged one by one.

While she was concentrating on her busyness, the maid's message sounded outside the door. "Miss, Miss Mo is looking for you."

"Let her in." Shen Mengdie stopped what she was doing and looked in the direction of the door.

"Yes."

"Squeak......" The door slowly opened, and Mo came to her side.

"Sister Mengdie, what are you doing here?" Today's Mo is dressed in pink, smiling like a delicate flower in spring.

"I'm drawing the look of a costume."

"I'll help you."

"That'...... You help me paint one over there. Shen Mengdie looked at the items beside her, pointed to another piece of clothing on the side, and took out a piece of rice paper and said.

Mo took the rice paper she handed him, but refused the charcoal she gave him. "I'll just use this."

I saw Mo Qian pick up the brush on the pen holder, gently take it in the inkstone, and then raise his hand to start drawing on the rice paper.

Shen Mengdie stopped the movements in her hand, quietly watched the other party's movements on the side, and watched her mark the size on it. "Xin'er, do you still use a brush?"

"My mother sent me to a private school."

"Oh." Thinking of the identity of the other party, Shen Mengdie also had a little spectrum in his heart. Seeing the other party's attentive appearance, she also continued to be busy.

After knowing that Mo was literate, Shen Mengdie deliberately took people with her and let her get in touch with business things. Time flies, today is the day of departure, when Shen Mengdie took the two maids and Mo Tianxin out of the gate of the Shen Mansion together, in addition to his own people, there were many officers and soldiers.

"Steward, this is ......" Shen Mengdie looked at those officers and soldiers suspiciously, and at the same time looked at Steward Zhao inquiringly.

"Owner, we are escorted by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court every year to pay taxes, but the number has increased this year."

"That's ......" Listening to Steward Zhao's answer, Shen Mengdie remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, there had been unrest everywhere recently, and Shen's father and his father had an accident on the way back. Judging by the government's reaction, she should also pay special attention to this tax, but no matter how many officers and soldiers the government sent, it will have no impact on her, at least she won't worry about anything going wrong on the way.

After counting the money, watching the officers and soldiers carry them one by one to the special carriage that had been prepared, she stepped forward and locked them one by one, and then led everyone to board the carriage, and in the sound of the coachman's whip, the carriage slowly drove away from the Shen Mansion.
