Chapter 114 Adding makeup to the second sister
In September, Song Yuxi got married, and Song Qingyue returned to the capital to add makeup.

After she sprinkled a handful of lotus seeds and peanuts on the second sister's wedding bed, she handed Song Yuxi a small red lacquer box.

Song Yuxi looked at the square little red lacquer box and wondered what kind of treasure it was. You must know that the makeup that Song Qingyue added to Song Yaxin in May was a two-foot-tall emerald statue of Avalokitesvara!And that piece of jade is reddish-purple on the lotus seat, and the other parts are white and flawless, but the willow leaves in the clean bottle are green. It can be said to be a priceless treasure. Song Yuxi doesn't know how Song Qingyue is willing to give it away. , that is too precious!
"Is it so small for me?" She pouted dissatisfiedly.

"It's too expensive, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay me back when I get married." Song Qingyue deliberately angered her.

Song Yuxi snorted and said, "Thanks to my sister, I even gave you a compliment!"

As he said that, he opened the wooden box, but he didn't see any expensive jewelry, but just a piece of light paper folded into tofu cubes.

"What is this?" Song Yuxi couldn't wait to unfold the piece of paper, and after reading it carefully, she cried out in shock: "Third sister! You!"

"Hush! Put it away!" Song Qingyue winked at her, "I'll put it in the bottom of the box for you."

"Third sister, no, no, this is too much! I really can't afford to repay the courtesy." Song Yuxi was a little afraid to accept it.

Song Qingyue clicked her tongue: "I'm missing your make-up gift? I also like the stone you gave me, if you want it, it will be done!"

Song Yuxi read the document again in disbelief, and asked in a low voice, "Third sister, did you really... have you dug coal from that village in Baoding?"

Song Qingyue chuckled: "Then there can be fakes?"

"Does father know?" Song Yuxi asked worriedly.

"Of course I know." Song Qingyue smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Is it true that you will give me all the income from the coal mine in the future?"

Song Qingyue gave her a positive smile: "Princess Duanyi is arrogant and looks down on us as concubines. I also asked you about Mr. Jiang's two concubines, and one of them is the daughter of the Ma family, a salt merchant in Zhejiang. But you don't have to I'm afraid! You have money too." She tapped the box, "This is your waist, don't be too wronged when you come to the princess mansion."

"Thank you third sister, I'm stupid, I don't even know what to say." Song Yuxi wiped away tears.

Song Qingyue was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she added: "Actually, I also plan to give half of the money to the elder brother and the second brother. The elder brother and the second brother want to be officials, and there are many places to spend money. All the mistakes are due to a greedy word. That way, the more money they have in their hands, the less mistakes they will make.”

Song Yuxi nodded heavily while crying: "Third sister, I understand. If you need your second sister for anything in the future, second sister will definitely die!"

"On the day of great joy, don't talk about life and death. When I need the help of my second sister in the future, I will definitely not be embarrassed to ask."

Song Qingyue's factory continuously accepts new workers, and after training, unqualified ones will be sent home. The scale is finally fixed at about 200 workers.

The number of teams has also been adjusted a bit since the beginning.

According to different positions, she divided about 60 workers into a class, selected smart and capable class leaders, and divided a class into six groups of ten people, and elected a group leader to be responsible for supervision and management.

At the end of each day, the group and class with the most work will be selected, and each person will be rewarded with an extra egg or a piece of meat at dinner, to encourage everyone to work hard, and to encourage everyone to supervise each other. Demerit will be given in time, and only porridge will be given the next day. Don't expect any eggs or baked buns with shredded pork.

Of course, the age of each team member is matched by size.

Song Qingyue would often go to the factory to inspect in person, and if she saw an older child bullying a younger child, she would immediately fine her wages.

In October, the northernmost tip of the Northeast has begun to snow.

A new batch of 20 sets of sweaters and woolen trousers were sent to the frontline soldiers in the north as promised, as well as 20 pairs of woolen socks and [-] pairs of woolen gloves.

The quality of the items was very good, and Song Qingyue also sent two thousand boxes of lanolin as a gift, which made General Zhenyuan Hou Ning very satisfied.

Li Zhao was personally responsible for the delivery of the goods, to ensure that no one would tamper with the goods, so as not to damage the signboard of his family's future concubine.

Song Qingyue looked at the account book with a smile on her face, this year's income is good!
Excluding various expenses, the profit reached 30.00%!Nearly half of the fixed costs of building bunkers and roads invested last year have been recovered. After the end of next year, we can basically start making profits.

When the military supplies are exhausted, they can start selling to the civilian population.If it is sold to the private sector, the price does not have to be so low, and the wages of skilled workers can be increased appropriately.

She knew that education should start from the baby!Except for a few really mischievous and stubborn kids who were expelled by her and went home, the rest of the children were all very well-behaved, and children learned skills quickly.

There are a few who are too young to learn slowly, but only slowly. After all, they are children and eat less.

She wanted to let them go home after work in October, but the children refused to leave.

As for why he refuses to leave, it’s actually not hard to think about it, because the food here is better than at home. There are two meals a day, eggs, meat, and occasionally milk.

Nearly half of the children who had night blindness were cured of night blindness because they ate eggs, fried lamb liver and pork liver here for several months.

But even if the children don't want to go home, there is not so much wool for them to weave. The sheep are generally sheared twice a year, the first time in March and April, and the second time in July and August.The total number of garrisons in the Northeast is about 20, because the original order of Lord Ning was 20.

But Song Qingyue's production could not keep up, otherwise she would also want to directly accept a large order of 20 yuan!
Just knitting 20 sets of sweaters, woolen pants, [-] pairs of wool socks, and [-] pairs of gloves has already consumed all the wool. Originally, Song Qingyue wanted to bring a roll to each of the children when they went home. It's impossible to go back with wool.

So she thought, why not just let them mine?

Ah, let child labor dig mines, it's too sinful!

No, no, I still have to ask adults to dig. The children are weak and have to go down to the dirty ground. She really can't bear it.

Anyway, now that the autumn harvest is over in the north, the adults are also idle at home, come on, come on, this is hard work, and everyone who is strong comes to dig coal.

Children can help turn cinders into briquettes on the side.

How to make honeycomb coal, Song Qingyue has to experiment first.

She first went to the blacksmith's shop to order a few briquette molds. These molds are all equipped with poles for easy use.

The production of honeycomb coal is very simple, that is, put the crushed coal ash into a basin, pour an appropriate amount of water into the middle of the coal ash, not too much, then cover the coal ash with a shovel, wait for about 10 minutes, let the water fully Penetrates into soot.

Use a shovel to mix the coal ash that has penetrated the water. When mixing, use a shovel to break up the large pieces of coal ash.Take the mixed coal ash with both hands and hold it until it can be shaped.

Take a bucket of water, fill the bucket with an appropriate amount of water, enough to overflow the briquette mould.

Before the mold is used, dip it in a bucket of water, then directly press the briquette mold on the coal ash pile, take it out after pressing firmly, and find a clean place to press the briquette out.Such a briquette is ready.

This kind of thing is not even as technical as knitting a sweater, and adults and children can do it.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the child is too young to have enough physical strength, and a child of twelve or thirteen years old is completely capable.

In short, Song Qingyue is very happy to provide more jobs for everyone.

However, the matter of mining had to be reported to the Yamen, because the Ministry of Industry or the Ministry of War was likely to come directly to place orders. The coal mines of the Great Zhou Dynasty were mainly used to smelt iron, and iron was a strategic material strictly controlled by the imperial court in this era.

Ever since, another explosive news appeared in the capital at the end of October: Miss Song Jiasan dug a coal mine in the money-losing village that once saved Prince Su and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson!

With such overwhelming luck, who can I ask for reason?

The magistrate of Baoding shouted in the mansion: "So it is! So it is!"

He said, well done, in May of this year, why did Ms. Song San buy another [-] mu of land? The coal must have been dug at that time!
He said it!
Let's just say there's something unusual about it!

I regret it, I regret it!

How about he also buy a piece of land to dig?
