"Fluttershy is here, sit, Shaoyu, make tea for your sister Fluttershy." Meng Yan instructed Cao Shaoyu.

"Yes, Master."

"Son, Cao Bao's son, if you stay by your side like this, you won't be afraid of ...... in the future," Jiang Xiaodie said.

"Shaoyu, this kid is simple, smart, and has a clear view of right and wrong, which is different from Cao Bao." Meng Yan Road.

"Childe, this is the sales record of 'Made in Beauty' for three days, take a look." Jiang Xiaodie handed Meng Yan an account book.

"Why is there so little on the first day?"

"Maybe we didn't have much publicity about our opening, and people didn't know about it, so there was so little." Jiang Xiaodie analyzed.

"Well, do you know why I didn't let you publicize?" Meng Yan turned to the second page of the account book, saw that there were many sales records densely recorded on it, and asked.

"Childe, is he afraid of the tree?"

Meng Yan turned to the third page of the account book, and unexpectedly there were more and more dense records, which was enough to explain a qiē.

"The things we sell are not before, these things can be said to be changing customs, you can also say that it is a bad custom, if we publicize it with great fanfare, I am afraid it will be greatly criticized, so it is not possible to send advertisements like honeycomb coal, but a small-scale trial can be used." Meng Yan explained.

"Fluttershy understands, is Childe afraid that it will cause the Taoists to resent it?"

"This is just one of them, and there are regulations on official and civilian clothing in my court, although we buy underwear and wear it inside. You can't see it when you put on a coat, but it's probably a shocking thing to sell it in such a big way, so it's best to make money in a muffled voice, and don't go out of the limelight! Meng Yan reminded again.

"Fluttershy must remember Childe's teachings!"

"Don't blindly expand the beauty of manufacturing, do what you can, in addition, I let you pay attention, please some Western designers."

"Yes. Fluttershy should be on the lookout. ”

"We have to use the best ingredients. Comfort and safety are also considered, and it is important to make sure that what our customers buy is a great value for money! ”

"Got it, Childe." Jiang Xiaodie nodded, "That's right." Childe. Miss Yu Xinyu came to the store today. ”

"Yu Xin. How could she go to the store? ”

"I inquired, Lord Yu returned to Beijing to report on work, maybe he won't go back this time. Remain in the military department. Jiang Xiaodie said.

"I didn't pay attention to this, I've been busy these days, by the way, why did she go to the beauty to make it, with what I know about her, she's not the kind of girl who likes to join in the fun?" Meng Yan asked a little strangely.

"It's her maid, Little Red Girl."

"Then it's no wonder, this little red is active, lively, and a master who loves to watch and see." Meng Yan smiled, and immediately understood, how could Yu Xin not take Xiaohong as a girl when she went to the street?

Yu Xin is a typical housegirl, as her portable maid, she has to serve the young lady, so naturally she rarely has the opportunity to go on the street, which is for Xiaohong, who likes to be lively, every time she goes to the street, she still doesn't die and go to the lively place?

"Son, this Miss Yu's master and servant are on the street to buy New Year's goods, but looking at their appearance, it seems that this ......"

"What, what do you say?"

"It doesn't seem like I'm carrying much money on me." Jiang Xiaodie said.

"You mean, the Yu family has no money to buy New Year's goods?" Meng Yan was slightly surprised, this Yu Qian is also a member of the third grade of the imperial court, even if he is not greedy or does not take it, the annual income of the imperial court is enough for their family to eat and drink.

Of course, it is difficult to say that there is such an adult medicine jar as Yu Xin at home, not to mention that there is one more Mrs. Dong now, the cost of the mother's and daughter's soup and medicine is a lot of expenses, and I heard that there is a son who is studying in his hometown.

This half of the eldest son eats the poor old man, and Yu Qian's Yulu is afraid that half of it will be for the son of his hometown to study.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the poor are rich and martial, the poor study, and the rich learn martial arts, which is much less expensive than practicing martial arts.

But even so, only a handful of people can read books.

It is said that the money issued by the imperial court is also a confused account, there are physical goods, there are also treasure money, and sometimes silver is issued, how much is sent, how to send, and it is not to give up if you don't toss three or five a year.

In addition to the fixed tax, there is also an additional card to levy, in the words of later generations, it is no legal basis, when there is no money, it is taxed, and once this tax is collected, it will be difficult to abolish it.

Later historians studied the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, which seems to be not much, but in fact, it is messy, plus the pre-levy, and the money received from the imperial court must be multiplied by seven or eight times to truly reflect the tax situation of the Ming Dynasty!

The regulations don't seem to be much, but the accumulation of what is consumed, layer by layer, then the people will be overwhelmed!

And the most odious thing is that the gentry who are officials do not have to pay taxes, when in fact these are only a small part of the country's population, but they control more than ninety percent of the country's land and wealth!

It's just that these people don't pay taxes!

These so-called scholars and doctors, they talk about "family and country" all day long, but they only have the word family in their eyes, and there are few people who really serve the country and the people.

When Jean, the greatest scholar is the emperor, and the emperor also regards the whole country as his own.

So the feudal dynasty inevitably staged a cycle of reincarnation, and the emperor took turns to do it, and this year it came to my house.

The more you are with the light, the more you live at ease, the more people who stick to it, the more depressed you are, fortunately, there are still some people in this country and this nation.

Only with these people can our country and nation continue to move forward and lead the world.

Of course, this is a very complex social and historical issue, and future generations will see the height of their predecessors differently, and they must put themselves in a specific historical environment in order to truly understand this history.

Maybe you think what he did was wrong, but he was supported by the vast majority of people, because at this time, the decision he made was determined by universal values, so he was right.

Something that looks ridiculous in the afterlife. But that's a pretty serious question here, and if it's a little bit worse, maybe you'll lose your head for this ridiculous thing.

This is also the reason why Meng Yan does not let Jiang Xiaodie promote "Made in Beauty", the emergence of new things, to make people accept, can only be subtle, moisturizing things silently, not too fast at once, otherwise the chance of premature death is greater!

However, the Ming Dynasty was the most unpredictable. Because it is extremely conservative in a certain way. The Ming Dynasty, which inherited Zhu Chenglixue, made quite strict regulations on social mores, especially the restraint on women and the restraint on commerce and navigation.

On the other hand, however, these regulations and constraints have not hindered the openness of the social atmosphere and the absorption and tolerance of foreign things.

Conservatism and openness have always struggled. In the end, the conservatives won. also buried the Ming Dynasty.

It's a bit far. However, it is not the worst era of the Ming Dynasty, it is a better era.

But in such an era, the families of the dignified court and the three products of the imperial court could not afford to buy decent New Year's goods. This is a bit sensational.

Of course, this is an extreme case after all, and it has a lot to do with the protagonist's own ethics and the actual situation of the family.

"Tianxing, go and call Tang Xiao over!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Son, Fluttershy is in charge of her own and gives them two sets of underwear for each of their master and servant." Jiang Xiaodie said.

"They took it?"

"Miss Xiaohong looked very happy, but Miss Yu didn't like it very much, but she finally accepted it." Jiang Xiaodie said.

"Just take it, Fluttershy, you don't have to hand over the accounts to me, just give it to Mrs. Rain, and she will take care of all the accounts involved in all the properties in my name in the future." Meng Yan commanded.

"Yes, Childe." Jiang Xiaodie sighed slightly, it would be difficult to find an opportunity to get close to Meng Yan in the future.

"The sales on the third day are very good, and the profits are very good, but you have to try to keep a low profile and don't take the initiative to provoke right and wrong, understand?"

"What if someone else comes to the door looking for trouble?" Jiang Xiaodie.

"No matter who comes to make trouble, don't take it personally, I will solve it, dare to touch my things, then weigh it, whether the bones are hard or not!" Meng Yan sneered.

"Fluttershy knows!"

"My lord, you're looking for me!" Tang Xiao knocked on the door and came in.

"Fluttershy, go back first, I'll order someone to find you if there's something!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Childe, Fluttershy is leaving!" A hint of disappointment flashed in Jiang Xiaodie's eyes, today she deliberately passed a mink fur fur to dress herself up beautifully, but Meng Yan showed a hint of surprise at first sight, and then basically didn't look at her with her eyes.

"How many extra New Year's goods do we have in reserve?" Meng Yan asked.

"And eight, my lord, what do you command?" Tang Xiao understood as soon as he heard it, Meng Yan specially explained that when he bought New Year's goods, he asked him to buy more.

"Take two copies and follow me to the Chongjiao Workshop!" Meng Yan commanded.

"Your Excellency, are you going to Yufu?" Tang Xiao rolled his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"It's eventful, don't go yet!" Meng Yan scolded.

"Come on, mark it and do it right away!" Tang smiled and ran out like the wind as soon as he turned around.

Chongjiaofang, Yufu.

"Daddy."

"Cough, cough, it's Xin'er who is back, dad, what did you buy when you went out this day?" Yu Qian coughed and got up and walked over.

Yu Qian is not tall, with a Chinese face, a somewhat thin face, a small short beard under his chin, two eyes are translucent, blazing, and not angry and arrogant.

This is many years in officialdom, with a high position, and has developed a kind of temperament of a superior person.

"Why so little?" Yu Qian looked at the contents of the two baskets and asked with some surprise.

"Dad, since the beginning of winter this year, there have been several heavy snowfalls in the capital, and the prices in the capital have risen a lot. Yu Xin said.

"Forget it, I can barely survive the New Year with these." Yu Qian sighed, although the Ming Dynasty seems to be singing and dancing, but in fact the problem is not small, not only external troubles, but also internal worries, as a long-term local officer, Yu Qian is very clear in his heart, after the death of the former Suzhou prefect Guo Zhong, he implemented good governance, the establishment of Jinong Cang have been abolished, Jiangnan Governor Zhou Chen is applauded, and now he is also in the predicament of being enemies on all sides.

In the north, there are Tatars and Warats, and the Tusi rebellion in the south is already commonplace, and the common people can not survive, so they can only flee their hometowns, and the land annexation is becoming more and more strict, and the gentry are not poor and do not pay for food, but they are tyrannical and exploit the villagers.

This is still the case in Henan and Shanxi under his rule, so what about the rest?

There is a heart of worry about the country and the people, and this time he returned to Beijing to fight for power and profit, how can he not be depressed? (To be continued......)
