Chapter 134: Seeing the Money
Chuxiu Palace
Sun Miaoqing flipped through the account book that had just been sent to the palace and was still hot. Seeing the numbers in capital letters, ten fingers counted over and over again.
I can't wait to grin my mouth, and I grin to the back of my ears. That bright smile has not stopped for a moment since I saw the ledger.
Why didn't I find out in my previous life, she is still a business wizard. The dimensionality reduction blow is really comfortable, and it has only been opened for a day, and it has earned tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Sure enough, the vast majority of wealth is concentrated in the upper layers of the pyramid. Under layers of exploitation, the people at the bottom have long been looted to poverty, and there is no food and clothing for a day.
To put it mildly, no matter how hard you put it in the pot, you can't squeeze two taels of oil.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver, enough for thousands of families, to eat and dress warmly and comfortably for a year. And for the magnates in Beijing, it was just some snacks after dinner.
But it doesn't matter, when she becomes the richest woman in the Qing Dynasty, the lives of most of them will be improved.
Lily of the valley said happily, "This is called opening the door!" I didn't expect sugar to sell so well, it sold more than 40,000 taels in just one day, how much silver did I get this year! ”
Sun Miaoqing said, "This is not a day, but also includes the orders in the second half of the month." ”
"After all, it's just opened, and it's in the limelight. The guests ate fresh, and the second was for the sake of the concubines in the palace to give face to the palace. ”
"After the enthusiasm of these few days has passed, the business will be much worse, and it would be good to sell two hundred catties a day."
"Those well-off families, after buying one, two, and taels, and tasting the taste, most of them will make their own if they want to eat it. After all, 10 taels of silver a pound is not cheap for them. ”
Hearing Sun Miaoqing say that as soon as the freshness of the opening passed, the business would be much worse, and Liuli and Lily of the Valley couldn't help but turn from joy to worry.
Liuli asked, "Niangniang, since you know, the business in the future is not as good as it is now." Two hundred catties a day is enough for the shop to sell, why do you need to raise so many cattle? ”
"If you use the milk produced in Zhuangzi in the future, it's just that, but Niangniang, you prefer those farmers, and you signed it for three years."
"What should I do if the sugar I make can't be sold?"
Sun Miaoqing said, "Is it much? Isn't this palace enough? ”
"Since you want to do business, how can you only do this shop in the capital. The palace wants to let the honey fast, in the land of the Qing Dynasty, bloom everywhere. ”
"In the future, every county town must have at least one branch of Honey Zhai. Every citizen, when they want to eat, can buy a few and taste it. ”
Ruri and Lily of the Valley thought about that picture, but they really couldn't imagine it. Every county has a honey restaurant, although it sounds unreliable, but it is not completely impossible.
Other places are not as prosperous as Beijing, in addition to sugar, you can also add something else to sell together.
But when ordinary people want to eat, they can buy a few at hand. Liuli and Lily of the Valley really can't believe it, and they can't believe it.
It's not just because the price of toffee is too high, it's not something that ordinary people can easily afford to eat.
Moreover, maltose, which is the main raw material, is made from a large amount of glutinous rice and wheat, and the loss is very large.
Every year, there is a famine in various places, especially when there is a shortage of crops. Even though the imperial court would arrange relief, many people still starved to death.
There is also a quantity of food under the heavens. Even if there is a good harvest every year, there is not so much grain to make sugar.
Besides, if you want most of the people in the world to eat it, you can eat it, and how much milk is needed!
I'm afraid that now in the Qing Dynasty, all the cows are pregnant and give birth together, and they can't squeeze out so much.
Lily of the valley said in a trance, "How much grain is this, how many cows......"
Sun Miaoqing said, "It's too early to say this, and I can't rush it." ”
"Everyone has worked hard for so long, and the reward must be less. The people of Chuxiu Palace will each be rewarded with three months' monthly silver. ”
"In Honey Zhai and Zhuangzi, everyone who participates in this matter will also be paid an extra three months."
"As for the farmers who provide milk, each family will send a bag of brown sugar and a bag of grain to supplement the cattle."
Lily of the valley replied, "Yes, Niangniang should be sincere and kind." Milk is not worth much, and the price offered by the mother can make an extra one or two silver a year for a cow. ”
"With brown sugar and a bag of grain, if someone in the family gives birth to a child, they can also have a good confinement."
Sun Miaoqing said, "The palace has made a lot of money, and they should be allowed to get some benefits." No matter how much money is earned, it will not be earned. ”

Imperial
The big fat orange butt was followed by a string of eunuchs, walking slowly in the garden.
These days, Sun Miaoqing is busy with other things, and he has no time to take care of him, but he asks people to send Hongday to the Heart Cultivation Hall every day.
For the first two days, the big fat orange was still patiently teasing his son, but it didn't take long to get annoyed.
Just pinch the time to go outside and enjoy the brightness of spring.
"Su Peisheng, do you think that today's sunshine is exceptionally good and quiet!"
"The Forbidden City has a long winter, and I don't see birds and insects chirping for months, which sounds especially pleasant at this time."
Su Peisheng lowered his head, took a step behind and followed the big fat orange, and joked with a smile,
"The emperor is right, the sound of birds and insects chirping is much more pleasant to the ear than the rouge tiger roar of the concubine Niangniang."
The big fat orange was in the right mood, squinted his eyes and smiled, and he didn't care.
"Cheng Concubine's shop, how are you busy? I heard that she pestered everyone in the harem and sent a box of toffee to the concubines' mothers. ”
"From the queen to the official women, the concubines have not let go of any of them. Seeing her working so hard, presumably on the opening day, business should be good. ”
"Did you earn a thousand taels of silver?"
Su Peisheng looked at the nonchalant appearance of the big fat orange and thought of the news he received.
The big fat orange didn't ask before, so he didn't report it, and when he was asked about it suddenly, the smile on Su Peisheng's face suddenly became embarrassed.
Seeing that Su Peisheng didn't reply, the big fat orange turned his head and saw his expression again, as if he realized that something was wrong.
"Didn't you sell it? Lost? ”
Big Fat Orange sneered, "I knew it would be like this, whether or not I asked someone to buy a few catties is also a little bit of my heart." ”
Su Peisheng looked at the big fat orange like this, and he didn't know how to explain it. Seeing that he didn't reply, Big Fat Orange's face immediately became serious.
"What, is it difficult to lose?"
Su Peisheng held back a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said helplessly,
"Back to the emperor, Cheng Concubine's shop has not lost, not only has it not lost but also made a lot of money."
"In addition to the concubines and concubines in the palace, the mother asked people to set up a sign under the signboard, which said that the emperor said that he would eat it."
"The milk used in it is a special supply for the royal family, and the musician will play the piano to the cow every day in order to produce the best milk."
"Whether it is a powerful person or a pawn of a peddler in Beijing, they are extremely curious about this. But whoever could come up with some silver went to buy some and try it out. ”
"Originally, the supply was in short supply, and Cheng Concubine Niangniang made a 20% discount three days before the opening."
"The original price was ten taels of silver a catty, and it was only eight taels for those three days. The slave heard that the orders for this toffee have been lined up for two months. ”
The big fat orange asked, "Eight taels of silver a catty, how much silver has the concubine's shop earned these days?" ”
Su Peisheng said, "The slave roughly estimated, it should be no less than 100,000 taels. This is still the profit after putting aside the cost. ”
Big Fat Tangerine couldn't believe that a small sugar shop could earn so much silver.
Because of surprise, the big fat orange's usual squinting eyes suddenly turned into almond eyes, and the so-called eyes of money are probably like this.
"Su Peisheng, Concubine Cheng is in the harem, and it is really hard to serve me and take care of Hongday."
"You say, is it appropriate for me to send someone to help her share her worries?"
