Chapter 32 Wang Jibao's Business Experience
When Zheng Xiangjun finished eating, Wang Xibao walked with her to the window on the left to make dinner, ordered a few special dishes here, paid the bill out of his own pocket, and paid some extra silver, so that they could deliver these dishes to the carriage in which Wang Xibao of Heshun Mansion was riding before school in the afternoon.
Today is her first day studying at the college. Everyone in the Hou Mansion must be very concerned about her experience this day. Therefore, when she returns home, she will definitely be asked to tell her in detail about what happened here.
She didn't just want to tell them what she had learned, what she had seen, who she had met and what new friends she had made. In addition, what she wants to do is to share the food in the Royal College dining hall with them, so that they can also feel a sense of participation.
These foods are not a delicacy for the Heshun Hou Mansion, but they are a part of her heart.
When Wang Jibao went to order food, Xiangwu had already packed up Wang Jibao's tableware and returned to the house in advance to prepare.
After that, Wang Jibao and Zheng Xiangjun still walked and chatted and returned to the house for a short rest.
When she arrived at the house, Wang Jibao saw that a door number with her name on it had been hung on the wall next to the door of her house. Next to her house is Zheng Xiangjun's house, which makes it more convenient for the two to communicate in the future.
The maids of the two were already waiting at the door, and each welcomed his master into the house to rest.
It's a small house, but it's full of organs.
All the materials here have been perfected by the Hou Mansion for Wang Jibao in the past few days, and they are naturally not ordinary.
Especially the bucket in the washroom.
This kind of gong bucket is a birthday gift designed by Wang Jibao for his grandfather on the 60th birthday of the old marquis last year.
The style of the gong bucket is very simple, that is, a hole is dug out in the middle of the chair, and then the gong bucket is placed under the hole, and the incense ash is placed next to the gong bucket.
In this way, people only need to sit on it when they are out of Gong, and then sprinkle a layer of incense ash on it after they are out of Gong.
In this way, people will not feel tired or numb in their calves due to squatting for a long time. It is especially convenient for those who are elderly or have problems with their legs and feet.
The purpose of sprinkling incense ash is not only to cover up the mess left after the ceremony, but also to deodorize.
Wang Jibao asked Xiangwu and the others to make some cushions and mattresses that dug holes according to the size of the holes in the chairs, and put them on the chairs. In this way, it should be more comfortable when going out.
After Wang Jibao's explanation, the old marquis Wang can also read the newspaper to kill time when he is out of courtesy. In this way, going to the toilet has become a kind of enjoyment for the old marquis.
As soon as this improved Gong barrel was launched, there was a rush to make it in the Heshun Hou Mansion. Then, at the suggestion of Wang Jibao, several shops in the Hou Mansion were immediately converted into furniture shops, and the improved Gong barrels were directly sold to the public. Of course, Wang Jibao just proposed, and then everything was handed over to the third uncle in charge of the affairs of the Hou Mansion.
The Marquis of Heshun sent the first batch of finished products into the palace, and immediately attracted the admiration of the Empress Dowager Jiang and His Majesty the Emperor. also rewarded the Marquis of Heshun Mansion heavily.
Especially for the inventor of this kind of gong barrel, Wang Jibao children's shoes, not only gave a heavy reward, but His Majesty the Emperor also praised Wang Jibao's filial piety in front of all the ministers in the court.
This kind of Gong barrel was also directly named "Bao Gong Barrel" by His Majesty the Emperor.
Hearing this trade name, the corners of Wang Jibao's mouth twitched. She just wants to say: I am Wang Jibao, and I bag salt for myself.
Originally, the whole family of the Marquis of Heshun Mansion has always been protective of Wang Jibao. Especially for the question of her early wisdom, the Hou Mansion remained silent from top to bottom.
The reason why this matter can be hyped up is mainly because this kind of gongdao is ingeniously conceived, but the invention of this kind of thing will not be surprised by outsiders is too unbelievable. After all, it's too simple to say, isn't it just digging a hole in a chair?
In addition, no matter which dynasty or generation, filial piety is the best virtuous name.
They don't need to make a prodigy or other pretentious name for Wang Jibao. After all, enlightenment at the age of two, and so far, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting can be made in a similar way, which is not something that ordinary children can do.
There is a saying that does not say, 'Love is deep and longevity, wisdom will be hurt'. Such early wisdom is not necessarily a good thing for Wang Jibao. Therefore, the whole government is silent about this.
But if he can be named a virtuous name like filial piety, it will benefit Wang Jibao for life. It was precisely because of this consideration that the Marquis of Heshun Mansion decided to let Wang Jibao make a high-profile return.
Up to now, every household has used this kind of perfect gong bucket. At a young age, Wang Jibao thought about how to be filial to the old marquis Wang, and the story was also widely spread. What's more, the advent of this kind of gong barrel has indeed brought great convenience to people.
Heshun Hou Mansion also made a lot of money because of the production of this kind of gong barrel.
At the end of last year, the old marquis Wang directly added 10,000 taels to Wang Jibao as a dowry.
Who would dare to object? You must know that Wang Jibao's inadvertent improvement, Heshun Houfu not only earned a lot of money, but also earned a very high prestige for Houfu.
The major shops selling furniture in Heshun Hou Mansion were directly renamed "Bao Ji" because of this.
Wang Jibao was born in such a wealthy family, of course, there is no need to take the path of crossing the farming text. Besides, she doesn't make glass, soap, or gunpowder. However, on the premise that it will not affect the overall situation and will not be considered a demon by everyone, if she can change the life of herself and her family, she will still find a way to use such good conditions in her hand to try to do what she can.
Of course, it would be better to bring economic benefits to the Hou Mansion.
After all, no matter which family wants to last longer, financial support is the key. Don't you see that many families are struggling to support themselves now, living a difficult life that is decent on the surface, but secretly selling their ancestral property to survive. To put it bluntly, they are not living a life of inconsistency for the sake of vanity.
So, what should we do with the money earned by the Hou Mansion?
The answer is: buy land.
After all, the status of merchants is very low nowadays, and it is impossible for the Hou Mansion to expand its stores under the banner of competing with merchants for profit. In addition, now is the time when the Dayong Dynasty is thriving, so having more land is the safest guarantee for the Hou Mansion.
These things don't need Wang Jibao to worry about, anyway, Wang Jibao is not only a treasure in the palm of everyone's hands in Heshunhou Mansion, but also really becomes a golden doll that will make money in the mouth of Empress Dowager Jiang.
After a break, Wang Jibao simply cleaned herself up, and finally asked Xiangwu to replace her two cute buns with simple buns for boys.
This kind of dress makes her quirky and cute, and she has become a beautiful young man.
When Wang Jibao usually goes out with the old marquis and Wang Ziyi, he always likes to dress up like this. Therefore, dressing up as a boy is no pressure for Wang Jibao. Xiangwu has long been accustomed to this.
When Zheng Xiangjun came to ask Wang Xibao to go to school, he was surprised to see that Wang Xibao, dressed as a young boy, could be so fresh and beautiful. This made her heart flutter, and she shouted that she would have to dress up like this when she went to school tomorrow.
The morning class of the Yellow Class is a thunderous literature and history class. In the afternoon, six courses of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics are taught in turn. After every six days of class, you can have one day off from bathing.
The first class in Class C, where Wang Jibao is located, is 'archery', that is, archery.
There are five ways to teach archery, and accordingly, there are five criteria: one is the white arrow: penetrates the target and exposes the arrow. The emphasis is on training the arm strength of the open bow. The second is to participate in the company: after the first arrow is fired, the last three arrows are fired twice. Focus on training the speed of archery. The third is the note: the arrow is shot into the arrow target, the arrow feather is high, and the arrow is low. The emphasis is on training to be lethal and sharp, and to be able to penetrate the arrow target. Four for the ruler: Xiang is the meaning of humility. The monarch and the minister shoot together, and the minister must not stand side by side with the king, and must step back one foot, focusing on the etiquette of respect and humility. The fifth is the well instrument, which shoots four arrows in a row and forms a tic-tac-toe shape. The emphasis is on the accuracy of training archery.
It can be seen that from arm strength, speed, lethality to accuracy, archery teaching has been quite fine.
A child like Wang Jibao is definitely inferior to an older child in terms of arm strength, speed and lethality. Even compared with his classmates, most of the students in Wang Jibao's class are seven or eight years old, two or three years older than Wang Jibao, and there are even students like Jing Yuer who are about ten years old.
If he really competes with them, Wang Jibao will suffer no matter how he calculates. Luckily, she started a little earlier than these people.
But when she arrives at the classroom this afternoon, she has more important things to do.
That is to give these classmates some greeting gifts that she has already prepared. After all, during the morning class, she was already late, and it was inconvenient for her husband to give gifts when he was lecturing.
The greeting gift she prepared was also very special. It is a special style of brush customized in the study opened by Wang Ziyi's private property. (Although the status of a merchant is low, if he runs a study, such a merchant is very admired by many students.) Therefore, Wang Ziyi opened a study in his early years that could not only increase the income of foreign money, but also be elegant and elegant. )
The tip of this brush is carved into a variety of cute animal motifs. And this small animal is carved according to various stick figures drawn by Wang Jibao.
The style of stick figure painting is simple, but it is full of childish fun. Wang Jibao studied painting for a while in modern times, but her favorite painting is this simplest stick figure. Especially those who like to use these stick figures to leave messages for others and brush Weibo, the result of this has indeed accumulated a lot of popularity for her.
After studying watercolor painting with Wang Ziyi for a period of time, Wang Jibao began to draw this kind of stick figure step by step.
Because of its simplicity, the stick figure is really in line with her current age. Therefore, at the beginning, Wang Ziyi thought she was graffiti casually. After a long time, Wang Ziyi discovered the wonders.
