Chapter 349: Uninvited Guest
The Zhen family's post hasn't come yet, but the Jia family has an uninvited guest. The old lady liked Xiong Er the most, Gusu had a bizarre case, Xiong Er thought about it, went to Jinling first, and invited the old lady to go to Gusu to investigate the case.
Ou Mengmeng is really happy, although it is also a very happy thing to travel, but how can it be fun to investigate the case by yourself. was busy and followed Xiong Er. I don't even want luggage.
Of course, Brother Jia Yu is a good son, he doesn't care about any itinerary, he sends people to follow, and on the other hand, he urgently brings people together, and wants to go to Gusu together, the reason is what a good social practice. If you can't cherish it, it doesn't deserve to be called a study tour.
The girls of the Jia family wanted to follow, and as for the luggage, they really only brought it for two days, so they hurriedly got into the carriage and chased the old lady. The luggage was packed by Li Kun and the other subordinates.
Mrs. Zhen, who was just about to see what day was going to be good, didn't know what to do all of a sudden, and they all ran away, what kind of person is this? Now they think that maybe the old lady left Beijing randomly. Just like now, it's all about how to be happy. Of course, there is also a faint feeling that the old lady should not guess that something is wrong with them, so she will run away in a hurry, right?
Ou Mengmeng didn't care about them, she and Xiong Eryi took the lead, and she didn't care if Jia Yu and the girls could keep up, anyway, she was full of curiosity about the case.
Xiong Er and the old lady were in a car, the two chatted about the case for a while, and took a sip of tea, Xiong Er looked at Ou Mengmeng, "Saving relatives won't be your idea for the emperor, right?"
"Not really!" Ou Mengmeng didn't expect Xiong Er to talk about the case well, but now he talked about the provincial relatives, "What, you won't go out of Beijing to investigate the case for the sake of the variables in Beijing, right?"
"Of course not, but I think the old sage, the emperor, and the families in Beijing are quite happy." Xiong Er smiled and said casually.
"Yes, if they are all happy, then it must be the right thing to do, Your Majesty." Ou Mengmeng immediately showed her attitude.
"Are you really, an outsider?" Xiong Er's eyes narrowed slightly, a little fox. The old lady said this, it's really too fake.
"Do you think the emperor can listen to me? He only asked me why I didn't deal with the Wu family, and I said that I had no power or soldiers, what I could do was to let the older generation of the Wu family slowly get older and older, and then the new generation of the Wu family was cultivated by myself; There is to slowly grasp the operation of the village, we say what to plant, they will plant, we underwrite, they wait for the money every year. Do you understand?" Ou Mengmeng smiled.
She was a little happy, Xiong Er was much warmer in front of her at this time, instead of the feeling of freezing three thousand miles before. He should have stepped out of the shadows of what he once was.
As for the matter of saving relatives, Ou Mengmeng is very calm, this is really not her idea, and in the original book, this paragraph is there. Then if you have yourself, the new emperor will also come up with this idea.
The matter of saving relatives alone, to be honest, is not a good idea. In addition to dragging the Jia family down, there is really no obvious benefit to the political situation?
The Jia family in the book waited for Yuan Chun in the palace to die before it was finished. At that time, King Beijing was fine, and Wang Ziteng was assassinated on the way back to Beijing before. And the Zhen family and the earliest historian who were copied had nothing to do with the provincial relatives. The black spots of each family were caught by the royal family.
So obviously, Ou Mengmeng doesn't know what the considerations of the provincial relatives in the book are, but this time, the royal family is very clear, that is, to drag down the old Xun family headed by King Beijing. In other words, further weaken their strength.
Economic strength is also strength, as long as they have no money, what are they making trouble? Even if they make trouble, it is a small fight, and even in order to turn the tide of the tide, they may act without being fully prepared, which brings an opportunity to eliminate them. If you do long, you will make more mistakes. If you don't, you can't go wrong.
"By the way, I heard that the Jia family has supplied everyone with food, fruits and vegetables this time? Whose family doesn't have a garden, and lacks your food?" When Xiong Er heard Zhuangzi, he immediately thought of what the new emperor asked him to ask.
What they want to ask is how much food the Jia family has, and how can they supply so many families to eat every day. In fact, each family has Zhuangzi and fields, not to mention that their grain is full of grain depots, but they will not buy grain and vegetables from Rongfu? No matter how you think about this, it's a bit unscientific.
Of course, there is also the fact that your Rongfu has a heart of disobedience? Preparing so much food, is it possible to become a rebellion? However, thinking about this, even the new emperor felt crazy. The Jia family is too lazy to die, how can they have such a high-tech brain to rebel.
"Our family has a full range of varieties, and as I just said, we used to let Zhuangzi sell the production by himself, and then send us silver at the end of the year and add some mountain goods. But now we send people to guide them to operate, and we don't need them to sell the output, we sell it ourselves. You know, the children in our clan are good at business.
Do you say that the winter wheat in May is worth it, or is the white flour in the capital worth it? All I had to do was build a fine mill by the river. The bran can also be fed to the farmers for pigs, cattle and mules.
When it comes to summer grain, some Zhuangzi grows rice, some grow sorghum, like the Erhe noodle steamed buns that were eaten by the hired workers in Beijing this time, which are made of coarse white flour and cornmeal, and we can provide cornmeal and coarse white flour separately according to each other's requirements. Whether to give workers a nest or a steamed bun depends on the conscience of the Lord's family. It's much cheaper than buying food from the grain store outside. It's a win-win!" Ou Mengmeng spread her hands and showed her attitude. Look at the book
"Therefore, in addition to using your business to override the influence of the Wu family, you also pay attention to preservation, stagger the timing of buying and selling, and seek higher profits. Therefore, among the nobles in the whole capital now, perhaps only the Jia family has enough reserves of grain, vegetables and vegetables." Xiong Er understood and nodded, "Actually, if the timing is staggered, the bankers will do it themselves, but they will get the profits. And other people think that this is a small profit, but they are afraid that they will have to say that the water is clear and there are no fish. I don't think the Jia family is kind enough."
"I mainly don't want to be sold, and I want to be treated as a fool. Besides, I also believe that if you can't do it, you won't make money." Ou Mengmeng glanced at Xiong Er approvingly.
"Then why only provide ingredients, instead of providing a meal, the meal system learned by the Jia family before, the child thinks it is very good." Xiong Er asked again.
"So you're not here to investigate the case, you're here to investigate me." The old lady gave Xiong Er a roll of his eyes.
Because there are more and more students in the Jia family, it is really troublesome to build a small canteen. So the old lady proposed to make a meal. In this way, several kitchens in the house can be done at the same time.
One kitchen is responsible for twenty servings, and the dishes are the same. But not sure about the class. Maybe today the fourth grade eats in the Ningfu kitchen, tomorrow maybe it is the Rongfu East Courtyard kitchen.
In this way, in addition to the taste, everyone does not dare to take it lightly, and also has a sense of honor, for fear of being compared. Third, there is also accountability for food safety. Which shift has a problem, which kitchen is responsible.
In this way, send it at the same time, so that everyone's burden is not heavy. And they later found out that it was cheaper to give the children a meal than to open a small kitchen in school.
According to Xiong Er, if this kind of meal is provided, won't the Rong Mansion earn more?
