This time, Zhang Lingyang's methods were not ruthless, and they also deterred the concubines in the harem in a short period of time.

But before a month passed, the concubines were revealed, and all kinds of jealousy and jealousy continued to occur, which made Zhang Lingyang annoyed.

"It seems that they are really idle and have nothing to do!" Annoyed, Zhang Lingyang decided to find something for them to do.

"But what can I do?" For a while, Zhang Lingyang really couldn't find any good ideas.

However, Zhang Lingyang also knows some of the weaknesses of women, compared with men, in addition to the similarity of love for money, women are particularly particular about what they wear.

So, Zhang Lingyang started from this point and quickly thought of a 'good' idea.

After dinner that day, Zhang Lingyang came to the queen's bedroom and discussed with the queen: "I have been disturbed by the affairs of the harem these days. ”

As soon as Zhang Lingyang spoke, Queen Wang thought that Zhang Lingyang felt that her queen was not doing enough, and hurriedly admitted her mistake and said: "It's all the fault of the concubines, and they didn't manage them well." ”

"How can I blame you for this?" Zhang Lingyang reassured: "In this regard, I still have a greater responsibility. ”

Zhang Lingyang is not the one who shifts the blame to women.

What's more, how many of the concubines in the harem are fuel-efficient lamps? Although Queen Wang is the master of the harem, she is still timid when she does things. The most important thing is that she has to follow Zhang Lingyang's wishes to do everything in the harem.

Zhang Lingyang said: "I think that the harem is not peaceful these days, and the main reason is because they are too idle, and I want to find something for them to do." ”

"Then what does the emperor want to find?" Queen Wang asked.

In fact, hearing Zhang Lingyang say this, Queen Wang was happy in her heart. The most important thing is that because of the competition for favor, some concubines now dare to beat the prince's idea. What if one day the concubine hits the crown prince Zhao Hao with her idea?

Therefore, once the concubine has something to do, she will not have the energy to intrigue, and her son Zhao Hao's position as the crown prince will be further stabilized.

Zhang Lingyang said: "I plan to let the queen take the lead and organize a jewelry and apparel design factory. But if someone in the harem designs good jewelry or clothing, the queen can order the people in the factory to produce it, and then hand it over to the royal store to sell, and the profits will be handed over to the harem itself, whether it is to supplement her own family or do other things, I have no objection. ”

Queen Wang summed it up and felt that Zhang Lingyang's idea was very good.

As far as these concubines in the harem are concerned, although there is no shortage of food and clothing, this does not mean that their mother's family is very rich. Besides, don't those concubines who have children have to accumulate some money for their heirs?

According to the practice of the Great Zhou, even if the prince is divided into feudal lords when he becomes an adult, the annual salary he receives is extremely limited, and he can't afford to spend it lavishly.

Therefore, once the prince reaches adulthood, their mothers usually make up for most of their savings.

There are even some adult princes who are so used to spending so much that in the end, the income of the government cannot make ends meet, and they have to take risks to collude with some conventions or businessmen to do some illegal things.

Therefore, it is not a good way for Zhang Lingyang to find things for the harem concubines now. At least for a period of time after the prince becomes an adult, they will have the subsidy of their own mother and concubine, and they will not do anything illegal and undisciplined.

Among them, the most important thing is that the clothes and jewelry designed by the harem concubines, regardless of whether they are good or bad, must be the highest, and the price is naturally the highest.

If you sell it, you don't have to worry about having no market, and then a lot of money will naturally go into your pocket.

Therefore, for Zhang Lingyang's proposal, Queen Wang naturally will not object.

Early the next morning, when the concubines came to ask for good morning, Queen Wang said Zhang Lingyang's method, "Sisters, the emperor understands that your sisters have nothing to do all day, and has decided to find something for your sisters to do......"

After Empress Wang explained Zhang Lingyang's meaning and discernment, Concubine Jin asked: "Queen Mother, I don't know how to divide the benefits obtained?" ”

Queen Wang already had a draft in her heart, and replied with a chuckle: "Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, this palace has an idea in his heart, that is, whoever designs the things sells, the profits will belong to whoever owns them."

Of course, maybe your sisters have doubts and think that this palace will deduct your sisters' profits. But you sisters can rest assured, at the end of each month, you sisters can send their henchmen eunuchs out of the palace to check the accounts, and the palace promises not to deduct a penny from your sisters. ”

Seeing that the queen said this, the concubines of the harem were very determined.

Out of the queen's bedroom, the concubines no longer said some cool things to each other as in the past, but went directly back to their own bedrooms to think about their own designs.

All the favored concubines in the harem actually have a skill, whether it is in the matching of service, cooking or tea ceremony.

The noble concubine is one of them.

Concubine Gao has been favored for so many years, in addition to her own good looks, the most important thing is that she has a very good set of clothes, and every time she appears in front of Zhang Lingyang, she is extremely bright and moving.

So the noble concubine decided to start with the clothing matching.

As for Victoria and Alice, they don't know much about the customs and habits of Da Zhou in all aspects, so they don't plan to follow suit.

But that doesn't mean the two of them have given up on the deal.

After going back, Alice consulted with Victoria: "Da Zhou's clothes are completely different from those in Europe, and we have no advantage in competing with them.

I don't think it's as good as this, we can combine the clothing style of Da Zhou, and design some clothes and jewelry that meet European aesthetics, I don't know what my sister thinks? ”

"Of course it's good!" Victoria said, "I think the cheongsam, skirts, suits and other clothes that the emperor asked us to wear every night are very good. We can sell these clothes to Europe. ”

"But!" Alice was a little worried, "The others are okay, it's that little suit, I'm afraid it won't sell well, and it will even cause people to criticize it." ”

Alice's concern is not unreasonable, in this day and age, even in Europe, women are not allowed to wear pants.

Even in later generations, in Europe before World War II, it was extremely immoral for women to wear pants.

Victoria was not worried, saying, "Who said a suit has to be paired with pants?" Isn't it okay to put on a skirt?

If you match it with stockings, you will definitely be fascinated by those men who can't find the north. ”

Victoria remembers very well that whenever she put on a skirt and stockings at night, Zhang Lingyang would work extra the boat......
