Chapter 158 New Mission

Mrs. Dingguo looked at Jiang Erya and blinked.Aren't you a country girl?Didn't you just make a fortune?Didn't you use all the money you earned to buy fields?

Jiang Erya explained with a smile: "The glaze of Daqing Kingdom is made by the prescription I gave.

Zhao Wenchang, who came to Beijing to supervise the Liulichang for the emperor, and the craftsmen he brought with him are all my apprentices.

Zhao Wenyuan and Zhao Da Sikong sold the batch of colored glaze made in Qingjiang County for me, and shared [-]% of the net profit with me.

The 2 taels belong to my filial piety to my great-grandmother, please keep it. "

Mrs. Dingguo sighed, "It turns out that my Erya is so capable, you can become a little rich woman just by yourself! But I can't take your money."

Jiang Erya frowned and said, "If you don't accept the money, then we won't accept the things you bought for me and my father either.

Do you know why my father didn't want to recognize his relatives before?

He was afraid of those rules, and he was also afraid that others would think that he was attached to Dingguo Gongfu and Yong'anhoufu's power and money.

If you blindly give and don't allow us to repay, he will feel unbalanced again. "

Mrs. Dingguo said: "He is a descendant of the two prefectures. Even if he goes to the door, he is still 'going home'. How can he be called 'climbing'?"

Jiang Erya smiled, and said: "It's true that this is the reason, but my father can't stand him and he insists on thinking in this direction. In order to make him feel at ease, you should accept the money.

Don't worry, even if you accept the money, I will not become a poor man from a rich woman.

I still have more money in my hand.

In addition, the soap factory I co-founded with those wealthy gentry from Qingjiang County is about to turn a profit.

Our goods are about to be shipped to the major counties and cities in Suizhou, and a soap shop is about to open.

From now on, for every piece of soap sold, I will receive five taels of silver. "

Mrs. Dingguo opened her mouth in surprise, and asked, "Soap? Is it the kind of thing you brought back for me to take a bath a few days ago?

That thing is much more useful than bath beans, and it will leave a nice floral scent on your body after you take a shower.

Have you started selling?How much is the price? "

Jiang Erya compared three characters with her fingers and said, "One piece is 30 taels."

Mrs. Dingguo was very surprised.

"It's only 30 taels? Isn't that too cheap?

In Fuxiang Pavilion in Kyoto, a box of the most common bath beans costs 120 taels.

Bath beans with precious spices are even more expensive, at least 200 taels.

Your soap is so easy to use, and it only sells for 30 taels. Is it true that you won’t lose money? "

Jiang Erya said: "Originally I planned to make small profits but sell quickly so that ordinary people can use soap, but I was too naive.

Oil in Daqing is much more precious than I imagined, whether it is animal oil or vegetable oil, it is very expensive.

A piece of soap costs at least a dozen taels from production to transportation to sales.

The price of 30 taels is the result of discussions between me and those wealthy households from the gentry.

It is indeed a reasonable price.

But ordinary people still can't afford it. "

Mrs. Dingguo thought for a while and said: "Since ordinary people are destined to not be able to afford it, you might as well set the price of soap higher.

Earn rich people's money, don't be soft.

The higher your price, the more those rich people will pursue it.If your price is low, they will not like to buy it. "

Jiang Erya nodded, she made sense.

"Then you keep the money, I will immediately go to Chen Yuanwai and the others to renegotiate the price of the soap."

After the discussion, the storekeepers had to be informed of the new pricing before the specialty stores in various counties opened.

After Jiang Erya went away for a long time, the price of the soap was finally set at 88 taels of silver.

Yuanwai Chen and the others were so happy that they almost fainted when they thought about the money they were about to earn into their pockets.

They sent Jiang Erya away respectfully, then hugged each other and shouted excitedly: "Following this aunt, it's hard for us not to get rich..."

……

When it was getting dark, Mrs. Chen quickly prepared dinner, and together with the maids around Mrs. Dingguo, brought the food to the table.

Mrs. Dingguo sat down at the dinner table but did not move her chopsticks. She wanted to wait for Jiang Erya to come back, eat with Jiang Erya, and announce something by the way.

Sha Xing thought the same as Mrs. Dingguo.He also wanted to wait for his wife to come back, eat with her, and sleep together after eating.

Fortunately, Jiang Erya came back just in time for the meal, and the food on the table didn't get very cold, and she didn't have a stomachache after eating it.

After Jiang Erya was seated, Mrs. Dingguo announced the dinner.

The family was full, and Mrs. Dingguo rubbed her stomach to help digest, while telling Jiang Erniu and Jiang Erya that she was going back to the capital.

When she came to Qingjiang County this time, she successfully found Jiang Erniu, Minmin's child, and Jiang Erniu also gave her a smart great-granddaughter as a gift.

She likes Jiang Erniu and Jiang Erya very much, the more she gets along, the more she likes them, and the more they get along, the more reluctant to leave.

However, she had to go.

Because there is a swindler in Kyoto who wants to pretend to be Jiang Erniu. Besides the swindler Jiang Dashan, there is also Jiang Yanliang who is eyeing the title in the Yong'an Hou Mansion.

She had to go back to the capital to get back everything that belonged to Jiang Erniu.

If it should be second-rate, it must be second-rate.Even if Jiang Erniu didn't want it, no one else could get his hands on it!
Mrs. Dingguo took Jiang Erya's hand and sighed: "What would I do without you by my side... Are you father and daughter really not going to the capital with me?"

Jiang Erya patted Mrs. Dingguo's hand and said, "Don't worry, when the winter wheat in the field is ripe and we plant new grain, I will take my father to see you in Kyoto."

As the disaster relief work in Qingjiang County got better and better, her random task of assisting Zhao Wenchang in disaster relief matters was finally completed.

But at the same time, she received a new task.

She will try to grow sweet potatoes on a large scale in Qingjiang County this year.

The dog system was as deceitful as ever. It only gave her a sweet potato vine when it released the task.

Fortunately, she has a portable manor, which can multiply the only sweet potato vine into a large area in a short period of time.

Seedling problem solved.

But the "large area" mentioned in the mission is the most annoying.

The dog system said that the "large area" must be planted at least two thousand acres.

But she only has five or six hundred acres of land.

She has the final say on what to plant in her field.

How will she convince others to try growing sweet potatoes with her?

Fields are the lifeblood of farmers. Under the premise that sweet potatoes can produce high yields, those farmers will not abandon rice and wheat and let her try to grow sweet potatoes.

Jiang Erya sighed secretly, she is really a hard worker...

Mrs. Dingguo left as soon as she said, and the next morning, she packed up her things and left with her people.

Before leaving, she took five of He Minmin's ten portraits with her, as well as two large boxes of floral soap.

The portrait was to be taken back for the Duke Ding to see.

The floral soap was to be brought to Kyoto to advertise for my great-granddaughter...
