Charlie: "Well, the emperor introduced him, he wants to build a bookstore in the capital, and he needs to use cement, and I talked to him a lot, and I was very inspired." ”

Carl didn't expect someone to talk to Charlie, there used to be an emperor, but now there is another one.

Carl was quite happy about this situation, Charlie was his friend, but Charlie was too autistic on weekdays, and did not like personal contact, so he either studied with books all day long, or ran to visit the buildings in various schools, and then came back to draw, and then sighed to himself about the subtlety of the architecture.

Now that he sees that Charlie has one more person to talk to, Carl is happy for Charlie from the bottom of his heart.

Karl said: "That's fine, I have time to invite him over for a meal, I want to meet him, and I'm going to leave in a short time." ”

The point Charlie hears is that Carl is leaving.

"You've only been here for a long time, why are you leaving?"

Karl said a little helplessly: "This is what I promised the emperor, besides, it's better to have something to do than nothing to do, and I'm quite happy to do this." ”

Charlie is a person who respects his friend's ideas, and he likes architecture himself, so it is natural that his friend likes his current job, otherwise how could he be so energetic!

Charlie: "By the way, what did you bring with you this time?" ”

Carl: "It's all something that came down from a merchant ship, and I've already sent it to the Wu Department Store." ”

Charlie was a little puzzled: "Wu's department store? ”

Why haven't you heard of it?

Carl explained: "It's a shop in the capital, and it hasn't opened yet, and the emperor designated me to send it over." ”

Charlie stopped talking about it and talked to Carl about his architectural dreams.

Regarding the matter of Wu's Department Store, it is actually Wu Yiming's own idea, of course, there is naturally Yinzhen's support behind it.

Wu Yiming has been very honest all these years, and after Wu's bookkeeping came out, she no longer salted fish, and after coming to the refreshment shop in the capital, she completely opened her restless heart.

I started to get interested in doing business.

"Master, there is a new batch of imported goods, what are you going to do with it?"

Wu Yiming: "Take me to see what kind of first?" ”

Then Wu Yiming followed a slave to the warehouse, Wu Yiming asked people to open the box where the imported goods were stored, and took out a few random things to look at, to be honest, the technical content of these things Wu Yiming did not look at it.

But it's good enough for this era.

Of course, Wu Yiming is a person who is not satisfied, and now because he has a backer in the capital, he can be regarded as a foothold, and his vision is also out, Wu Yiming looked at these things and had a plan in his heart.

She doesn't have much technical talent, but there is no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty!

When Wu Yiming left the treasury, he asked people to search for people who were good at strange and skillful skills, Shinong businessmen, and craftsmen, and the status of craftsmen was not high, but in order to survive, there were indeed many talents who were good at this area.

Wu Yiming is not lacking silver now, in order to ensure that she can find the right person, she has invested a lot of money, and many people are indeed moved.

Of course, she doesn't want it personally, she needs two kinds of people, one is good at imitation, that is, people who can copy these imported products, and the other is creative people, in any era, creativity is one of the driving forces of production.

Regarding Wu Yiming's movements, although she did it secretly, Yinzhen and Yun Rong knew it, Yun Rong still had a good impression of this Wu Yiming, and now Wu Yiming is no longer naïve, she looks like a strong woman, Yun Rong admires such a person very much.

"I heard that Wu Yiming actually wants to do the business of imported goods."

Yin Zhen nodded, he knew about this matter, and he agreed: "She dares to think about it, and now she is looking for skilled craftsmen everywhere, and she wants to make her own things to sell." ”

Yun Rong: "That's good. ”

Yin Zhen was a little strange: "How did you think that Wu Yiming was here." ”

Yun Rong: "Wu Yiming has some business dealings with the Internal Affairs Bureau, she wants to find skilled craftsmen, and most of the best craftsmen in the world are in the Internal Affairs Bureau, and she also heard that she sent someone to inquire, so she thought of this." ”

Yinzhen: "Well, I didn't pay attention to this aspect, but what are you going to do?" ”

Yun Rong thought for a moment: "If that's not the case, just open a study class to teach craftsmen to learn these knowledge, of course, you can also collect some orphans and train them from an early age." ”

Yin Zhen listened, I didn't think about this, since Yun Rong is interested, then let it be.

"Listen to you, you can arrange it."

Yun Rong was very happy: "The bicycle has been designed, and it is estimated that it can be used when I go back and let people build parts and assemble them, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have a large amount of money." ”

Yin Zhen looked at Yun Rong and said with a smile: "You fell into the eyes of money." ”

Yun Rong didn't admit it: "I'm not doing this for you." ”

"Yes, yes, it's all for me."

Yun Rong: "I think Wu Yiming is quite business-minded, and she may be able to develop in this area in the future, and the Bicycle Internal Affairs Office estimates that she can't eat, so she can be an agent." ”

Yin Zhen has no opinion: "It's good if you're happy." ”

Yun Rong thought again: "By the way, and Wu Yiming recently got a department store, I think it's good, I have some modern perfume recipes and some miscellaneous recipes, go back and show her, if you can, let her cooperate with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then it will be another entry ......"

Yin Zhen listened to Yun Rong say so much, and it was all related to silver, and she wondered if Yun Rong had misunderstood something.

Yin Zhen said helplessly: "In fact, there is no shortage of silver in the Qing Dynasty now. ”

Yun Rong: "Of course I know that there is no shortage of silver, but more silver is better than less, besides, these silver will be invested in infrastructure construction when you go back, you think about it carefully, and then calculate carefully, there will be more places to use silver in the future, where is the treasury enough." ”

Yin Zhen thought about it carefully, but it was also true, the silver in the treasury was indeed insufficient.

Yin Zhen smiled and said, "Then Mrs. Hard will bother." ”

Yun Rong also knew that Yinzhen was joking with her, which could be regarded as a little fun for the couple.

So he replied with a smile: "What's polite." ”

With the support of the above, Wu Yiming's "ideal" was easily realized, and with the cooperation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he soon found many skilled craftsmen.

Wu Yiming was not surprised by this, she knew in her heart that the emperor had ambitions in her heart, and what she did was beneficial to the country, so naturally she would not be rejected.

However, she was a little confused when she received a box of prescriptions from the queen's mother.

That's right, it's a box.

A small wooden box containing jewelry, a whole box, full of it.

Although ancient fonts occupy space, a whole box of recipes is indeed enough.

There are perfume recipes in it, how to extract the essence from plant flowers and leaves, and now purify alcohol, fruit wine recipes, wine recipes, cigarette recipes, shampoo recipes, face fat recipes, and cosmetics recipes...... There is everything, which makes people dizzy, and Wu Yiming is dazzling to watch.

Wu Yiming really didn't expect the queen to give her such a big gift, she knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so she quickly agreed with the internal affairs government on the distribution of benefits.

Of course, although these recipes were given to her, there was not much silver that could reach her in the end, even if Yinzhen and Yunrong dared to give it, Wu Yiming didn't dare to ask for so much silver.

Besides, without royal support, she would be alone, with no background, and she would not be able to realize her ideas.

So in the end, she only had half of the benefits.

Don't underestimate this half-percent benefit, after all, the stall that these recipes can lay must be big, half of a hundred taels is five taels, but half of the achievement of 10 million taels of silver is 500,000 taels of mine.

With the backing of the state, Wu Yiming is now ambitious, and she feels that she not only has to do business all over the Qing Dynasty, but also do business outside.
