Chapter 1089 Female Prime Minister 27
Yin Shuangshuang led a dozen or so able-bodied villagers and instructed them to cut down the wood they needed and dig a charcoal-burning kiln.
Of course, before burning charcoal, Yin Shuangshuang set a rule in advance, cutting down one tree, he had to plant ten trees back, and after making money, he couldn't cut down trees in one place.
If we have to go elsewhere to select charcoal trees and cut down one tree and plant ten of them, we must not only destroy the environment but not protect it.
In the process of making the silver frost charcoal, Yin Shuangshuang pondered and added another process, so that when the silver frost charcoal was burned, it would exude a faint floral fragrance.
The smell is not strong, it burns as if it is nothing, but it is very pleasant, and anyone who loves incense or not can accept it.
Yin Shuangshuang took people to toss for four days in a row, burned it many times, and finally got a hundred catties of silver frost charcoal.
Yin Shuangshuang took this batch of silver frost charcoal to see the county lady, this time with Yin Shuangshuang went with Wang and Yin Zheng husband and wife, Yin An stayed in the village to continue to collect mountain goods.
Today, in addition to meeting Mrs. County Ling to talk about cooperation, Yin Shuangshuang is also ready to buy a few people, she is not in good health, there are many large yards and rooms at home, and it is too hard for the Wang family to clean up alone, and she can't be idle all day long.
Yin Shuangshuang makes money because he wants his family to live an easy life, not to do housework that he can't finish.
The attitude of this dynasty towards merchants is very good, and the sons of merchants can also participate in the imperial examination, of course, the future is not comparable with the children of the eunuchs' family, but it is better than being regarded as a ninth-rate.
Because of the promotion of the status of merchants, although officials cannot do business, their families can still do business.
Although there is a hidden danger of collusion between officials and businessmen, it has to be said that the increase in merchants has made the economy of Benchao much stronger than that of other dynasties.
Although it is inevitable that the people will starve, there has never been a large number of people starving to death, after all, the harvest in the field is really not good, and you can try to find a job.
Of course, no matter how developed the business of this era is, it is not as developed as it is in modern times, and not everyone can find a job, but it is still possible to work part-time.
Yin Shuangshuang's village is next to a relatively remote town, so there is less work they can do, and the people in the village are habitually afraid to go to larger towns, so they are so desperate after the grain production is reduced.
In fact, if they are forced to go to the county seat, they can always find a job, and they will not starve to death, but they have passed down from generation to generation the inertia of their ancestors, and they are used to counting on the land to survive, so they will not think of working in the larger cities.
The sadness of this era, there is no outbreak of information, and places like the county town are too strange and frightening to them, not forced to starve to death, and they dare not set foot easily.
The county magistrate's wife is naturally also in business, otherwise she is a seven-grade county magistrate's wife, where can she afford to buy a thousand taels of silver, even if she has a lot of dowry, she would not dare to squander it like this.
Because of the reason for sending the head to and fro, Yin Shuangshuang and the subordinates of the county order family are familiar with each other, and when they heard Yin Shuangshuang say that they asked to see the county commander's wife, the porter went to report without saying a word.
Soon Mrs. County's personal maid came out, Yin Shuangshuang and Wang were guided to see Mrs. County, Yin was sitting outside at the gatehouse waiting, after all, he was a man, and it was not appropriate to enter the inner courtyard.
It has always been Yin Shuangshuang who deals with Mrs. County Commander, so after saluting Mrs. County Commander, Wang sat quietly on the side and gave the home field to his daughter Yin Shuangshuang.
Mrs. County Ling was also used to dealing with Yin Shuangshuang, so she asked the Wang family to serve tea and snacks, so she focused on Yin Shuangshuang.
"You came here today, did you make any good hairpins?"
Mrs. County Ling is very fond of Yin Shuangshuang's craftsmanship in making hairpins, and every time Yin Shuangshuang has any good fresh tricks, Mrs. County Ling will leave it nine times out of ten.
Yin Shuangshuang smiled and said, "The little girl came to see Madame today because she wanted to discuss a business with Madame." ”
Talking about business? Mrs. County Ling was interested, she liked Yin Shuangshuang, a clever girl, very much, and she did her own business, but she didn't look down on Yin Shuangshuang when she was young and couldn't do business.
"You want to talk to me about business? Tell me, what business do you want to talk to me about? Mrs. County Commander asked with interest.
Yin Shuangshuang opened the small basket he brought in, and inside was a small basket of silver frost charcoal, "What the little girl wants to talk to her wife about is this business." ”
It's silver frost charcoal, the county lady raised her eyebrows, this business is also done, but it is just to be sold to other places, the local county is too small, and the silver frost charcoal has been occupied by other merchants.
If she wants to stick in and go in, she can only use power to suppress people, but Mrs. County Ling is not so short-sighted, and ruins her husband's reputation in order to get some silver, so this silver frost charcoal can only be sold elsewhere.
If you sell it to other places, you have to add travel expenses, and the cost will increase a lot, and the county magistrate's wife began to think about how much money she would use to negotiate business with Yin Shuangshuang.
However, before Mrs. County Ling spoke, Yin Shuangshuang spoke first: "Madam, the silver frost charcoal made by the little girl is different from the ordinary silver frost charcoal, and the weather is slightly cold now, do you want to order a few pieces of silver frost charcoal brought by the little girl and feel it." ”
What difference can the silver frost charcoal be, the county lady has no choice but to ask the maid next to her to find a copper basin and light a few pieces of silver frost charcoal brought by Yin Shuangshuang.
Soon, several pieces of silver frost charcoal were piled together and ignited, and the heat slowly spread, making Yin Shuangshuang, who was a little cold in his body, unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.
Mrs. County Commander carefully observed the lit silver frost charcoal, and nodded with satisfaction, the quality is very good, there is no trace of smoke, the burning speed is slow, this silver frost charcoal is very burning.
It's just that this kind of silver frost charcoal just proves that the quality is passable, and it is no different from other silver frost charcoals.
As soon as Mrs. County Ling thought about it, she felt that something was wrong, she couldn't help but sniff and asked the maids around her, "Do you feel that there is a fragrance in this room." ”
A girl dressed in pink and dressed as a big maid next to Mrs. County also sniffed.
"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the slave maid did smell a fragrance that seemed to be absent, but the slave and maid did not burn incense, and there was no incense of this smell at home."
Since there was no incense, the source of the fragrance was self-evident, and the eyes of the county lady and the maids in the house fell on the pot of silver frost charcoal that was burning quietly, and their eyes slowly lit up.
Yin Shuangshuang opened his mouth at the right time to explain, "This fragrance is the difference that the little girl said, this fragrance is added by the little girl in the process of firing silver frost charcoal in a unique way.
The fragrance is subtle, very elegant, and does not disperse the clothes, the aroma can stay on the clothes for at least five days, if it burns in the woman's house for a long time, it can infect the body odor. ”
