Chapter 962: I'm too tired to pick flowers
Before the development, Yang Guozhong frequented Yang Yurou's house, after all, there are free women to enjoy, why not? However, after becoming a big official, he rarely came over, after all, after having an official position, there is no shortage of women around him, and he can get any young and beautiful woman, so why should he serve a relatively old and decrepit woman? Moreover, this relatively old woman is not at ease, and there is no shortage of young and handsome scholars around her, so there is no need to go.
Of course, occasionally I will come over and use my body to contact my feelings, so as to prove with practical actions that I have never forgotten my original little lover and is a good person with affection and righteousness.
Because it is coping, the performance is really a little unsatisfactory, and it is not even as good as the young and handsome scholar, and it is even worse than Ang Lee, so that every time Yang Guozhong wants to prove his heart with his body, Yang Yurou always refuses ruthlessly, and after many times, he will not touch his own head, anyway, there are many young girls in the family.
Yang Yurou naturally didn't say what she was thinking just now, calmed down, squinted at Yang Guozhong, and asked lightly: "Didn't I tell you, our sisters don't plan to take care of the battery project, why are you here again." ”
For the battery project, Yang Guozhong has been to the door several times, so she naturally thought about the battery project, but unexpectedly, the purpose of Yang Guozhong's visit this time was not for the battery project, but to ask the teacher.
"Ah, yes! You guys have better projects now and don't need battery projects anymore. ”
Yang Guozhong's mouth was full of sourness, and there was a slight accusation in his words.
Yang Yurou was stunned for a moment, and said, "It seems that you know everything!" It's not that we want to hide it from you on purpose, it's really that this project is too important, and we can't let too many people know about it until we win it completely, and the fewer people who know, the less accidents there will be. ”
"Eighth sister can't even believe me as an elder brother? If I know it, will I still say it? ”
Yang Guozhong said very dissatisfied.
"Why, brother, I'm here to ask the teacher."
Yang Yurou was also unhappy.
Seeing this, Yang Guozhong hurriedly smiled and said, "Oops! How dare I! I'm telling the truth, what is my heart, don't you know, you don't trust my brother, this makes my brother feel cold! ”
Yang Yurou rolled her eyes and said: "It's not that we don't trust my brother, there is really no need for one more person to know, and when the wood is ready, it's not too late to tell my brother!" Brother said yes! ”
"If I had known, I could have helped! It costs money to start a workshop everywhere, and I can also contribute, we are all family! ”
Yang Guozhong said.
Yang Yurou smiled, waved her hand and said: "I know that my brother is sincere and wants to help us, but our three sisters have already calculated, and the cost is not very large, so we don't need my brother's help. ”
This is very gentle and friendly, but it is also equivalent to making it clear that the three sisters are not going to take him with them to maintain this perfume project, and ruthlessly exclude him.
After listening to Yang Yurou's words, Yang Guozhong's mood was naturally not very good, his face looked a little gloomy, but he was helpless, who made his blood relationship with the concubine a little bit farther away? In this way, the most direct consequence is that when he has good things, he has to share them with the three sisters of Sister Yang, and the three sisters of the Yang family have a good way, but they can not share it with him, even if he is dissatisfied, he is helpless.
"Brother, I'm hungry! Do you want to have a meal together? ”
Yang Yurou saw that it was already noon, so she asked.
Where does Yang Guozhong still have an appetite, if he has an appetite, he will eat it in Li An's mansion, and he will have to wait until this time.
"It suddenly occurred to me that there were still some things to deal with, so I stopped eating."
After Yang Guozhong finished speaking, he raised his legs and left, and the reason for refusing to eat was the same as when he was in Li An's mansion.
Yang Yurou also didn't keep her, eating with a middle-aged man didn't make much sense at all, she just had a little fresh meat to accompany her.
"Old woman, ruthless old woman."
After Yang Guozhong left Yang Yurou's mansion, he scolded fiercely to vent his inner dissatisfaction.
However, the moment he walked out of the door, he suddenly understood a truth, relying on the concubine, he will always be inferior, and although he is now a senior official of the imperial court, there are still many shadows on his body that rely on the concubine, that is to say, his position is not firm, once the concubine falls out of favor, it is likely to lead to her falling out of favor, and when the time comes, his position as a senior official will not be kept.
Thinking of this, he felt that it was time to cultivate his own power, and if he didn't cultivate his own power, he would be subject to others for the rest of his life.
Perfume manufacturing technology, Li Ang can provide, but the location of the perfume workshop, that is also very important, in the interior of the capital, because the land is more expensive, and the workshop covers a larger area, so, it is naturally not suitable, the workshop is built in the suburbs, it is a more suitable choice, in addition, if the flowers are picked, if they are placed for too long, it will affect the quality of the perfume, so the location of the workshop should be close to the source of flowers, or on the edge of the traffic artery, so, You can transport the raw materials of flowers to the workshop in time and process them in time.
There are mountains around Chang'an City, and there are many fruit trees and flower trees in the mountains, and the source of flowers is not a problem, but compared to the future demand, these wildflowers are definitely not enough, and the source of flowers must be expanded.
Fortunately, there are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Datang, and there are countless flowers in every county, and it is not difficult to use the railway line to transport these flowers from other places into Chang'an City, and even, for this reason, a large number of merchant groups can be generated, and a large number of people can be driven to get rich.
Mrs. Han and Mrs. Qin, with many servants, conducted a detailed investigation of the surrounding areas of the capital, and finally chose the location in the suburbs near the railway but far away from Chang'an City, where the transportation is more convenient, and the land is relatively lower than inside and outside the capital, which is very suitable for opening a workshop with a large area.
After choosing the address, they first obtained Yang Yurou's approval, and then went to consult Li An's opinion, and Li An naturally did not object, and gave them full support.
The next thing is to buy machinery and build a factory, which Ang Lee will help them with, but more work needs to be done by themselves.
The perfume industry is given to them, not enough, they can only produce perfume, for the glass bottles loaded with perfume, only Ang Lee's workshop can produce, that is, if there is no Ang Lee to provide glass bottles, the perfume produced by the Yang family cannot be sold, although perfume can also be packed into gold and porcelain bottles, but the grade is far inferior to that in glass bottles.
After all, porcelain can be made by anyone, it is a very worthless thing, although gold is expensive, but you can't see how much perfume is left inside, only the glass easy perfume bottle, is the most popular.
Even the most expensive perfume in later generations is also packed in glass bottles, although the glass of later generations is no longer valuable, in order to reflect the nobility of perfume, it is completely possible to use gold bottles for perfume, but because the glass is transparent and beautiful, you can intuitively see how much perfume is left in the bottle, so the most noble perfume in later generations is also a glass bottle, but in terms of shape and workmanship, there are higher requirements.
Therefore, Ang Lee seems to have given an industry that can make a lot of money to the Yang sisters, but in fact, this has also led to the high-end development of Ang Lee's glass industry.
The cost of delicate glass bottles is slightly higher, but the profits of the products sold to the Yang family must at least be more than ten times the standard, so Li Ang can also earn a lot, although Li Ang does not care how much money he makes.
When making the perfume, Ang Lee had already asked the master of the glass workshop to try to make the glass bottles that Ang Lee needed, and after such a long time, when Ang Lee went to inspect the workshop, he finally saw the product that he was quite satisfied with.
"Yes, very good, these bottles are very well made, they are what I expected, you guys are doing a great job, haha!"
Ang Lee personally inspected the glass workshop, and after seeing the glass products made by the craftsmen, he gave a very positive praise, but these products were very well made, much better than Ang Lee imagined.
"Ah Lang, what are these products for, are they for wine? But that's too small, isn't it? Just enough for one bite. ”
A craftsman has already said that he has completely sold himself to Ang Lee, and he can get very good treatment, but he is not free enough to leave his workplace at will, and he has to serve Ang Lee for the rest of his life.
"Wine bottles? Ha ha! Do you dare to think that this is a perfume bottle, it is for women, a few drops at a time is enough, you can't use a bottle that is too big, and it is too heavy to stay on your body. ”
Li An opened his mouth and replied that Li Ang generally did not hide these servants who could not leave their residences freely, and in order to be able to make them work with peace of mind, Li Ang provided them with very good treatment.
In addition to eating and drinking, the extra salary is also a lot, and the place to live is more comfortable than the place where many small nobles live, as long as they are skilled craftsmen, basically all of them are single rooms, so that you can have a better rest without worrying about noise pollution.
In addition, in order to let them experience or have fun, Ang Lee even often invites the beauties of the Qinglou to come over and play a little song for them.
Of course, if some craftsmen do not work well, or if their skills are too bad, then these benefits will be lost, and they will even suffer various punishments.
Ang Lee has always been more fair, never treat anyone badly, and never deliberately treat a person well, there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason, everything is for a reason.
After carefully inspecting the perfume bottles, Ang Lee took a few copies of each of them, one for his own enjoyment, and the rest for the perfume, labeled and sent to the palace, so that the concubine could experience what it was like to have a noble perfume bottle.
And this sign is made by Ang Lee at will, only the function of experience, the perfume made by the Yang family in the future, what name is the sign, that is their own business, Ang Lee just made a look, let them see what the product looks like after the sign.
After collecting flowers for several days in a row, Yan Ruyu and the others were no longer willing to run into the mountains, because they were too tired, and the maids also complained that they were too bitter, and the passion at the beginning had long been wiped out by reality.
"What's wrong, don't want to continue picking flowers?"
Li An returned home, looking at the way they bent over and beat their backs, and smiled slightly at the corner of their mouths.
"Don't pick it, don't pick it anymore, it's too tiring."
Yan Ruyu waved her hand and said.
"Hanlu, do you feel tired too?"
"It's okay! However, it is not easy to climb the mountain every day, so let's rest for a few days! ”
Li An knew that they were three minutes hot, smiled, and said: "I know that you don't have perseverance, who said that you have to pick flowers for a month, and you don't want to go after only a few days, hum." ”
"We didn't expect that it would be so tiring to climb the mountain continuously, and if we knew that it was so tiring, we would definitely not dare to say such big things."
"That is, we only went there in the morning today, and several female workers fainted from exhaustion, and we came back directly as soon as we saw that it was not working."
Yan Ruyu and the brute opened their mouths and said.
What they said was true, not to lie to Ang Lee, in the process of picking flowers, there were indeed several female workers who fainted, but the reason for fainting was not entirely because they were too tired to pick flowers, but because they were unwell and dragged their sick bodies to work, so they naturally fainted after being tired.
And the reason for their illness is also related to the collection of flowers, because the climate in autumn is very cold, especially the temperature on the mountain is colder, they collect flowers on the mountain for many days, and they are blown by the cold wind on the mountain for many days, and it is inevitable to get sick.
Li An just didn't need them to continue to go to the mountains to pick flowers, after all, the technology of making perfume has been handed over to the Yang sisters, and they will be responsible for making perfume in the future, as for the raw materials of flowers, they can think of their own ideas, whether they hire someone to pick them themselves, or post a notice to buy them, it is completely feasible.
The flowers purchased by Yan Ruyu and others are enough for Li An to make a small amount of perfume, and almost all the flowers have been made into perfumes by Li An, and the flavor refining technology of various flower varieties is clearly touched by Li An.
"Okay, there's no need to pick flowers in the future, these flowers are enough, if you need them in the future, I'll ask the guards to ask for picking, and give them an extra reward."
Ang Lee said with a smile.
