Pearl has never been a person who has wronged himself, at this time, the beam, only the road of the four northeastern provinces, is relatively flat, that is also because Pearl proposed, in order to reduce starvation to death, let those who have a difficult life at home, or people who want to eat, to build a road, this road is different from the official road, in fact, the official road is generally speaking, the court transmits information, or the army and ministers of the court travel with the emperor, then the road can be used, the people are not allowed to walk on weekdays, but this one, no matter which official, will not interfere, otherwise it will really offend the people. But Qin Hui let people build different roads, not only dug a deep roadbed, but also specially invited people to determine the direction of the road, that is, to avoid low-lying terrain, heavy rain will flood the road, the sand is not counted, and the black asphalt refined from black oil is paved with a layer, and the huge stone stone is rolled back and forth, and this road is not tiled, it is a little higher in the middle, a little lower on both sides, when it rains, the rain will flow to both sides, until it flows into the ditch on the side of the road, this trench is naturally dug by someone, The wages used are food.

With such a road, there is less suffering from bumps, even if it is an ordinary carriage, walking on such an official road, it is also very stable, and it is precisely because of such a road that the merchants who come and go will not delay their business because of the rain and the muddy road. This time, the pearl came out and used its own Western-style carriage, which is lightweight, has a large space, is fast, and the wheels used are also made of tires. This tire is naturally also something refined from black oil. They have four northeastern provinces, and there are several places. The land there is not fertile, there is black oil on the ground, and the locals feel scratching their heads, but since this black oil has been useful, it is different, it can be made into asphalt, and it can also be made into tires, such tires and carriages have been popularized in the upper class in the four northeastern provinces, and Pearl gave Qin Hui the recipe for asphalt and tires. Qin Hui also dedicated these two recipes to the emperor. The income goes directly into the inner treasury, which is the emperor's private money, don't look at these things as cheap, but the amount is large! The emperor's small coffers are bulging. And Qin Hui also proposed. All the minerals of this country should belong to the imperial court. Although individuals can dig, they only have the right to mine, just like a tenant rents land. The emperor thought so, the emperor set the matter, that is, the decree, directly issued an edict, in this way, not to damage the interests of those who have minerals, but also to achieve the emperor's purpose, the only constant is that if this mine, to be sold to others, it is necessary to report to the imperial court, and every year to the imperial court, of course, the earlier also taxed, so this edict, in fact, is aimed at this very useful black oil.

Such carriages have long been popular, and now the Pearl family sits in such carriages, which have tables and chairs that are spacious and have thick cushions, and can lie down, and when the weather is cold, a small brazier can be placed in the carriage. The car is made of thin hardwood boards, thumb-thick iron bars are used as shelves, wool felt is pasted on the outside, and a layer of colored cowhide is wrapped, which is very warm, and there are glass windows on the front and back of the car, left and right, so you can see the scenery, and if you don't want to see it, you can close the curtains. Qin Hui originally wanted to ride a horse, but was stopped by Pearl, he and Qin Dezhang sat in a car, while reading a book, they could also rest, saving the cold wind, Pearl and Qin Min sat in a car, the mother and daughter did not embroider in the car, but they talked about poetry and books, and the curriculum set by Pearl for Qin Min was that it must be done. Before there were no pearls, Qin Min just recognized a few words. After Pearl sent Mama and the master over, she began to teach the Three Character Sutra and the Thousand Character Scripture, which were not popular! But his younger siblings learned it at the beginning.

When I got to the pearl, I began to study systematically, and I got up every morning to exercise, although I was young, but now the pearl has begun to lay the foundation for Qin Min, Qin Dezhang is a good martial artist, and I come every day, so I look forward to the pearl to give him some guidance, and the pearl really pointed him out. In fact, at the beginning, Qin Dezhang still wanted to fight with pearls, but after all, he learned martial arts since he was a child, as the so-called, as soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was one, so it changed from curiosity at the beginning to admiration, and now it is to the next level, worship.

After Qin Min exercises every day, he goes back to the room to wash, and then, he has breakfast with all his family, and then he begins to learn poetry and books with the master for half an hour, and after a short rest, he will start to learn embroidery or cooking, eat at noon, take a break in the afternoon, and start learning musical instruments and martial arts, and sometimes learn miscellaneous studies, such as learning the knowledge of silk brocade with pearls, learning the identification of antiques, learning to appreciate calligraphy and painting and appreciating jewelry, and every other day, he began to follow pearls and learn Arabic numerals. That is, mathematics, but also learn to read the account book, watch the pearl and the shopkeeper fight wits and courage, listen to the pearl analysis of the market situation, and marketing methods.

It's only been a few months, Qin Min has already learned a lot of knowledge, after the female four books are familiar, she won't talk about this aspect anymore, and began to learn the four books and five classics, all kinds of miscellaneous studies, Qin Min from the beginning of the panic, to the later eager to use it for two days a day, not only changed the attitude towards pearls, but also a lot of sunshine in personality.

During this period, Pearl took Qin Min out to participate in several banquets, which doubled Qin Min's confidence, because she learned a lot of things, and knew more, and with her peers, she also began to learn to observe words and colors, which was a great opportunity to learn theories from Pearl and come out to experiment, Qin Min's confidence has increased greatly. Also, from Pearl, I learned how to identify clothes, how to identify jewelry, what kind of clothes, what kind of origin, what dynasty to wear, and where I like what materials. What beads, bracelets and what color of clothes, it is said that it is the head of the way, and the other little girls who listened to it were willing to play with Qin Min, it felt so good to be held, she was originally the most noble lady in the four northeastern provinces, and now this young lady is so capable, everyone is holding it, and there are things to say. Although Qin Min knew that he was flattered and related to his identity, he also understood that the things he learned were all used in his daily life.

Of course, Qin Min's life has also found great changes, Pearl let people teach her to know ingredients, know what food is compatible, what is delicious, how to make vinegar, how to make wine, every day, the food is different, even to Qin Hui tonic, Kong and Qin Deying medicinal diet let Qin Min follow to learn. It's not just that the food is varied, it's expensive, it tastes good, it's what you wear, it's also a grade.

As soon as winter came, he put on pink velvet pants, a set of red, a set of light blue, and the underwear he wore was also of the best material, and the buttons of the shirt with a stand-up collar were all pearl, red gold with patterns, or silver carvings. The clothes on the outer head are even more exquisite, there are jacquard woven gold satin, there are flash satin embroidered five-color patterns and gold threads, as well as woven gold satin, Shu brocade, cloud brocade and silk. There are also streamer brocade, seven-color satin, and the shoes worn are also small boots with fur, or embroidered gold thread with pearls or crystal beads and precious stones. The one on her head is even more exquisite, the cordyceps hairpin, bead flowers, hairpins, silk flowers, all of them are exquisite, and there are earrings, pearls take her to the treasury to pick up, take whatever she likes, at the beginning, Qin Min felt that this was his mother's temptation, and he didn't dare to take more, so he took two pairs, one pair of red gold gourds, and one pair of silver inlaid tourmalines.

Pearl saw her like this, and said, "These two are lightweight, just take them at home, and go out in a few days, this is not suitable for your identity, think about how your mother taught you how to match clothes and choose jewelry, think about the clothes you wear when you meet guests, and then choose." ”

Hearing Pearl say this, Qin Min was relieved and very excited, but thinking that Pearl said that it would match the clothes, he began to choose it carefully, and selected four pairs and put them in the tray held by Liu Zi. Some are more precious, such as the rose-red pearl earrings, so round, so bright pearl, good color, ingenious workmanship, and definitely worth more than 30,000 taels of silver. After that, Qin Min chose eight red gold inlaid treasure rings, pearl necklaces, gemstone necklaces, tourmaline, crystal and other material necklaces, and there were many bracelets, but because most of them were adults, only two pairs of red gold inlaid rubies and pearls bracelets were selected, and twenty beads were selected on the head. Pearl was still absolutely dissatisfied, so she let Liu Zi and Qingfeng hold the things she chose and sent them back to Qin Min's house. Then said to Mingyue, "You tell the people in Zhuangzi, the eldest lady's jewelry is not enough, and it is not delicate enough, red gold, jade, jade, silver skein, all do more, the eldest lady likes delicate things, those who make up the number don't want it, the materials are not enough to buy it, it is best to make up a set, otherwise it will not look good, do a good job, the eldest lady will be rewarded." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Mingyue is going to pass the word, Qin Min has been following Pearl for a while, and she is also familiar with it, knowing that if she is close to her mother and doesn't play a small temper, her mother is still very good to her, so she pulled the corner of Pearl's clothes and said, "Mother, what do I reward them?" I have no money. ”

Pearl smiled and said, "You have silver, but it's not on you, I have prepared gold and silver naked children for you and your two brothers, as well as newly made copper coins, all of which are placed in Mama Cheng!" In the past, you didn't know that Mama Cheng would reward you, but now that you have asked, you will have to take care of the account books in your own room in the future, can you do it? ”

Qin Min has never taken money, of course he knows that it is good to have money! It would be great if I could manage the money myself, and happily agreed, "Mother rest assured, I will definitely be able to get used to it." ”

Pearl smiled and thought to herself, where is it so easy to manage money? (To be continued.) )
