Hearing Xue Baoqin's words, Qingwen and the other girls couldn't help laughing.

Qingwen couldn't help but say: "Miss Qin is really rich, and her pocket money is more than 10,000 taels of silver." ”

"According to me, this 10,000 taels of silver is not enough, and another 100,000 taels of silver will be required."

The mandarin duck smiled and said, "Miss Qin, don't listen to Qingwen's nonsense." This business was originally because the third master took pity on us, afraid that we would be bored and bored at home. ”

"This business is for us to relieve our boredom and play, and when the time comes, the third master will naturally give us a shop."

"As a result, the upfront investment is extremely limited. It's only a few hundred taels of silver if it dies. ”

"We sisters have made up all this silver in one place, where can we still use the Qin girl to take the silver?"

"Miss Jean only needs to help us come up with ideas and design a few styles of clothing."

Hearing this, Xue Baoqin nodded slightly, and was about to speak, but when he heard Xichun next to him, he couldn't help but say:

"Such a fun thing? Why don't you bring me? I also want to earn some pocket money to spend! ”

Xiao Jixiang looked at Xichun and asked seriously: "Fourth Miss, we have a few sisters, and the silver has been scraped together." ”

"I asked Miss Qin to join the stock because Miss Qin could help us draw patterns. I wonder what will happen to Miss Four? ”

Xichun was originally the young lady of Ning Guofu, and since Jia Huan settled in Ning Guofu, Xichun and her have become closer and closer.

Even the relationship with Xichun and Qingwen and a few other maids is excellent.

And Xichun and Xiao Jixiang are the same age, so they are together and often play.

Xichun listened to Xiao Jixiang's words, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay, you Xiao Jixiang, you dare to say this about me, see if I don't tear your mouth apart." ”

As he spoke, he got up and was about to tear Xiao Jixiang's mouth.

Xiao Jixiang got up and begged for mercy: "Fourth Miss, please spare me this time, I won't dare in the future." ”

Xichun said fiercely: "You don't know how many times a day you have to say this, and I can't spare you anymore." ”

The women watched them play and didn't bother to dissuade them.

Anyway, at the end of the day, they don't know how many times to play around like this.

When Xichun was tired and paused, Mandarin Duck said: "If the fourth lady wants to buy shares, it is naturally possible." ”

"I don't want Miss Four to come out of the silver, but if we need to draw something, I hope Miss Four doesn't shirk it."

When Xichun heard this, he said happily: "This is a natural thing, since I have become a shareholder, I will not do nothing." ”

"I don't want to make a few taels of silver, but it's an extremely interesting thing to do in this serious way."

At this time, Xiaohong couldn't help but say: "This ready-to-wear shop, although we don't do it as a business, outsiders listen to it, this is a joke." ”

"But since we want to do it, we have to do it for the better. If it is not good, it will be able to earn a few more taels of silver every month. ”

"This can also make the third master look at us! It just so happens that Miss Qin has been invited here. ”

"Why don't we listen to Miss Qin's opinion?"

After Xiaohong finished speaking, all the women nodded in unison, and couldn't help but look at Xue Baoqin.

Xue Baoqin coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then said, "Since the sisters believe me, then I will tell you my opinion." ”

"I thought, if we're going to do it, why don't we try to do our best from the beginning?"

"We can do it, lead the fashion of the capital, so that the ladies and ladies of the entire capital and even the entire Daxia are proud to be able to wear our clothes?"

"We can do it, we can make people feel that wearing the clothes of our shop is a symbol of status."

"The clothes in our shop don't ask how many sets they can sell, but they make it difficult for people to find one set."

Xue Baoqin's words made the girls completely dumbfounded.

is the most radical Qingwen, and she is still at the point of selling high-end ready-to-wear, a set of dozens of taels of silver.

The situation described by Xue Baoqin was a height that they couldn't even think about, and they didn't think they could really do it at all.

Therefore, after hearing Xue Baoqin's words, Qingwen couldn't help but ask: "Miss Qin, what you said, where can we do it?" ”

Xue Baoqin couldn't help but ask, "Why can't you?" Do you know the wisdom pattern? ”

Hearing this, all the women couldn't help but nod their heads together.

Huiwen, they naturally know.

Because there is a wisdom pattern in Jia's mother's room, Jia's mother's love is like a treasure, and she is only willing to put it out to appreciate it in important family banquets.

To put it bluntly, it's just an embroidery.

But because the woman who embroidered this set of jewels was a young lady from an official family, it was not a thing for sale.

And this girl died at the age of eighteen, so it is extremely precious.

Originally, there were only two or three pieces in Jia's mansion, and later two of them were put into the top, leaving only this set of Yingluo, which became Jia's mother's treasure.

This set of Yingluo, the magic is in the embroidery stitching.

On the side of each flower, the old sentences of the ancients inscribed this flower, or the poems and songs are different.

All use black velvet to embroider cursive characters and the handwriting hooks, turns, weights, and breaks are no different from pen grass, nor are they better than the city embroidery handwriting, which is strong and hateful.

Xue Baoqin said with a smile: "Now if we do the same as Huiwen, the material is luxurious, the stitching is wonderful, and we also control the number of circulation." ”

"You say, can it be as precious and rare as Huiwen?"

After Xue Baoqin finished speaking, the women opened their mouths and said that they couldn't or couldn't do it.

But if you think about it, it's not necessarily impossible.

In terms of materials, they can naturally get the best.

In terms of stitching, although they can't embroider verses like Huiwen.

However, the clothes are not cherry blossoms in the first place, and there is no need to embroider verses.

And in terms of stitching alone, in fact, Qingwen's work may not be worse than that of the official eunuch who painted the Hui pattern.

And as long as the hype is up, Jia Huan is not the first time to use hype, which makes these maids know the concept and principle of hype.

They may not be able to make their ready-to-wear clothes into treasures like Huiwen.

Thinking of this, the thoughts of the women suddenly came alive.

They are all Jia Huan's maids, but they didn't think about what they could do to make the third master look down on them.

However, they are just little girls, where can they have the opportunity to do such a brilliant thing?

Now is a great opportunity, how can they let it go?

Therefore, one by one, they became serious.

They began to discuss the details, such as how to design, how to wrap it, what pattern to embroider, and so on.

The so-called one person counts short, two people count long.

The women all summed up, and they really quickly found an idea.

And their execution is still very strong, now that the discussion has been decided, next, they are in full swing.

During this period, Jia Huan also noticed the busyness of these girls, but he didn't take it to heart.

Left and right just found something for them to do, and let them toss it.

It's just a pastime, even if you lose tens of thousands of taels of silver, it's nothing.

Jia Huan's current focus is only on the news of the Japanese and Haitian Island.

Recently, there was good news from Haitian Island.

After several years of research, the Mo family finally succeeded in developing the first steam engine.

I still remember that at the beginning, I used the drawings of the steam engine and some promises in exchange for the leadership of the Mo family to come to him.

And a few years later, the Mo family finally built a steam engine.

And the steam engine is more than just a concept machine.

Because the drawings of the steam engine given by Jia Huan are already very detailed.

Let the Mo family avoid many detours.

Therefore, when the Mohists were manufacturing, they themselves were developed for practicality.

Now it is finally manufactured, and it is ready for use.

Of course, there may be problems in the process of use.

However, these problems are only minor problems and do not affect the promotion of the steam engine.

Therefore, after Jia Huan learned the news, the first thing he considered was which aspect to apply the steam engine to.

His second consideration was whether to promote the steam engine, and if so, how to promote it.

After some thought, Jia Huan decided not to promote the steam engine to the outside world first, but to produce a batch of steam engines to be used on Haitian Island first.

It's not that he's stingy or self-cherishing.

It's that the current Great Xia is chaotic enough because of the change.

Once the steam engine is promoted, it will inevitably set off an industrial revolution in Great Xia, which will inevitably cause a new round of turmoil.

Great Xia is already messy enough, so it's better not to continue to add to the chaos.

If there is any more chaos, the situation will become more and more uncontrollable.

And since it is only used on Haitian Island, the first batch does not need to be made too much.

It is enough to build a few dozen units first.

The Mohists can also continue to accumulate experience in the production process to pave the way for future large-scale production.

Jia Huan decided to set up a textile factory on Haitian Island first.

Haitian Island itself is home to mulberry trees and silkworms, and it can also buy a large number of silkworm cocoons inland.

The location of Haitian Island is excellent, allowing for direct trade with overseas merchants.

The steam engine and the improved loom will improve the textile efficiency by a hundredfold and thousandfold, and greatly reduce the cost of silk.

And this will also greatly increase the profits of Haitian Island.

Secondly, Jia Huan decided to apply the steam engine to transportation.

He decided to let the children of the Mo family develop steam locomotives and steamer locomotives on Haitian Island.

Steam locomotives can increase the transportation capacity of Haitian Island and enhance the internal transportation efficiency.

The area of Haitian Island is not small, although for now, the transportation capacity is sufficient.

However, if Haitian Island develops rapidly, the current transportation capacity will inevitably be stretched.

It is necessary to develop a steam locomotive.

The second is the development of steam engine ships.

There are no large ships on Haitian Island, there is no navy.

But there are still a number of small boats.

If these ships were equipped with steam engines and assembled into steam engine ships, they would certainly be able to greatly improve their naval combat capabilities.

After all, whether it is land, naval or air combat, mobility is an extremely important part.

For example, cavalry is highly mobile, and can fight when they want to fight, and leave when they want to, so that the enemy can't catch up.

And the steam engine ship, the speed is much faster than that of ordinary ships.

During naval battles, steam engine ships can attack and retreat.

Once you find that you are defeated, you can avoid it far away, so that the enemy can't catch up.

Make sure you can be invincible.

And Haitian Island has now improved its ammunition, making the range of the guns they bought from the West longer, increasing the range by almost 50%.

Just get the convoy to master the firearms, and then build a steam engine ship, and equip the ship with guns.

The military strength of Haitian Island will be able to raise several notches in no time.

As long as you don't encounter a large-scale foreign enemy, you can protect yourself.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan was about to write a letter to order him to go down, when suddenly the Mo Da master visited.

Jia Huan hurriedly invited him in.

After the master of Mo came in, he immediately said: "Childe, I am going to go to Haitian Island to personally participate in the installation and transformation of the steam engine. ”

It seems that the master of Mo Da is no less interested in the steam engine than he is.

This is understandable, as the steam engine was a new source of power for these craftsmen.

It is equivalent to pushing a door open in front of them, leading them into a whole new world.

Therefore, after hearing the words of the master of Moda, Jia Huan couldn't help but say: "If the master of Moda wants to go, just go." ”

"By the way, I don't know how to use the power of the steam engine to propel the ship forward, does the master of the Mo University have a clear idea?"

Master Mo thought for a long time, and couldn't help but shake his head.

The principle of installing the steam engine on the carriage and making the steam locomotive was a clear idea.

It is only necessary to utilize the crank linkage structure.

But if the steam engine is used as the power of the steam engine ship, there is really no good idea for the time being.

The master of Mo couldn't help but say: "I can't think of a good idea for the time being, and I ask my son for advice." ”

After hearing this, Jia Huan smiled slightly, then began to pick up a pen and paper and began to draw an image of the propeller.

By the way, he also explained the dynamics principle to the master of Moda.

After listening, the master of Mo Da couldn't help but be empowered, and his mouth suddenly opened.

She carefully put away the drawings of the propeller and said, "Childe, please rest assured, with these drawings, I will definitely be able to transform the steam engine ship soon." ”

Jia Huan still trusts the hands-on ability of the Mo University master.

Hearing what Master Mo said, Jia Huan couldn't help but nodded.

……

In the evening, Jia Huan hugged Qingwen and couldn't help asking, "Qingwen, I have seen that you are all very busy these days, I don't know what you are busy with?" ”

Hearing Jia Huan ask this question, Qingwen suddenly became proud.

She couldn't help but say, "The third master doesn't know, we're -"

"By the way, Mandarin Duck and Miss Qin, they won't let us reveal it to the third master! said that he wanted to surprise the third master. ”

Jia Huan couldn't help but ask, "What does this have to do with Miss Qin?" ”

Qingwen couldn't help laughing and said, "The third master doesn't know yet, Miss Qin has also become a shareholder!" Nowadays, many of the plans of our shop are ideas from the piano girl! ”

Only then did Jia Huan know that it turned out that Xue Baoqin had also entered the shares.

For him, that's a good thing. (End of chapter)
