Concubine Mad Queen

If we had built the second phase of the painting together, we would have no problem spending it here now.

Spices are even more complicated. There are more types of spices to obtain, which are more difficult than those in the greenhouse, and the price should not be underestimated.Even if Bingyan has great ambitions, it will take a year or two to establish a large-scale one-stop process from raw material picking, production, and sales. No matter how strong and capable he is, that is impossible.

Regardless of the reputation of any kind of industrial chain, it will take time to perfect a mature and stable chain.

Bingyan didn't regret it at all. She didn't build a larger scale with a higher difficulty. If she really made her choose again, she would still choose this way.Bingyan and Yuncang's shops are quite profitable, but these profits are not for the purpose of plugging holes in Rougefang and teahouses, if they have such an idea, it will be even more difficult.

At the beginning, Bingyan prepared a batch of reserved financial resources for the establishment of the teahouse and Rougefang, just for special occasions, but now it is too late to expand, there is only one month.

Bingyan said to Liu Qiaochu: "Send someone to inquire about the situation of flowers and spices in the market recently. If you find a good variety, let someone buy it. Don't buy too much, don't startle the snake."

Obviously, Bingyan suspects that someone has done it secretly. Liu Qiao, Chu Liuyun and Meishuang are not sure, but there are raw materials that are in short supply. Anyway, buying them for storage will not make a mistake. Even if you buy them separately, the price with the partner will definitely be different Floating, increasing costs, can't consider those now.

The news from Cheng Feng has not been passed yet, and now they are also behind the scenes. Liu Qiaochu sent someone to investigate, while Bingyan and Liufeng continued to check the situation at the workshop. For such a major core problem, the people below are naturally Won't let them know.

The production workshop here is still running according to the program, and now it seems that everything is still calm.

Those who went out to inquire, came back after two hours of inquiring.

Liu Qiaochu looked serious: "These days the rare flower seeds are in short supply in the market, but the osmanthus and peach blossom seeds are very popular, and the lotus and lotus roots are selling even better than before. Spices are even more in demand."

Trees like sweet-scented osmanthus and peach blossom are actually not bad streets, anyway, they are generally found in various mansions. Anyone who loves flowers will always plant at least one or two trees. Peach blossom grove, bamboo grove, and plum grove, these three kinds of flower forests are very popular in the capital.The lotus and lotus root are also very cheap things. My family lives by the river, and they will eat lotus root as a vegetable. Although it is a flower, sometimes it will appear on the vendors in the vegetable market. This kind of thing is not said to be flooded. , Basically, it will appear in the vegetable market.

If it was just suspicion before, now this matter is even more wrong everywhere, one is in short supply, so many are in short supply.

Bingyan tapped the chair with her fingers, pondered for a while and said: "The first thing to do is to do the purchase first, try to keep a low profile."

If someone is really targeting Yanzhifang, or her words, who is this person? This is the most important thing to pay attention to now: "Rougefang, production workshops, and raw materials will be guarded by people. If there are not enough people, I will If you make other arrangements, you must notify them in time. You should also be extra careful when you come and go, especially Qiao Chu, and send someone to keep an eye on it. If there is such a person, he will show his feet."

"Yes, Master!"

Now there is no clue, Bingyan stay here is useless, can only go back first.

It was just the drive back, but Bingyan deliberately made the carriage make a few more detours and wandered around a few more shops before returning to the palace.

Along the way, Meishuang carefully watched out of the window. As soon as she returned to the palace, Meishuang leaned into Bingyan's ear and said, "Princess, can you ask the prince to send someone to watch over it? I always feel that people walking outside the palace too much."

Not only outside the mansion, she even felt that it was outside the street.

Bingyan didn't feel that Meishuang was overreacting at all, but nodded in response.

But today I just went to the workshop to have a look, but it took more than two hours to come back. By now, Yun Cang had already arrived home, and the kitchen was ready for dinner.

Hearing that Bingyan came back, Yun Cang greeted him, looked at Bingyan's tired face, stretched out his hand to hold Bingyan's hand and asked, "What's wrong, why is it taking so long today."

Bingyan: "It's just that there are a lot of shopping today, so let's go in and talk, has your husband eaten?"

"not yet."

Bingyan immediately said to Meishuang: "Let's get someone to prepare meals. I'm tired and hungry after shopping outside today, so it's better to be more concise."

"Yes, Concubine." Mei Shuang responded immediately, and quickly went to the kitchen to inform her.

Yun Cang also felt that Bingyan had something to say, but it was obviously not the time to talk outside, so he didn't ask any more questions. Not long after they sat down, the person calling from Meishuang came over, Bingyan Although it was easier to say, the dishes couldn't be more simple, and another table was set up.

Bingyan asked Qingwu to wait by her side, and Meishuang took all the servants out.

"What's going on?" Yun Cang asked after the people withdrew.

Bingyan sighed lightly: "There is a problem in Rougefang."

Then Bingyan told Yun Cang about what happened today, and according to various signs, Yun Cang felt that there was something wrong, but he was still not sure: "Well, I'll let someone watch some strangers outside the mansion first. , Yanzhifang also sent people to watch it, but if someone really troubles Yanzhifang, there is probably a later time."

If this is done from the aspect of raw materials, it is indeed very annoying.

But these raw materials are definitely not only available in the land of the capital. For example, Yun Cang has many lands and yards under his control. Some of them were bought by Yun Cang himself, and some were given by Emperor Tianxuan when he married Bingyan. , and some sent by others.The total sum is quite a lot. Among them, the large courtyard and the repaired courtyard are also planted with various flowers. Even if they are not very useful, they can still do their best to solve the urgent needs.

Furthermore, these kinds of flowers are so common, that is, there will be rows of peach trees in some forests, it depends on what method Bingyan and the others use.

No matter how bad it is, they can still buy it from other cities.

This person knows the specific needs of Bingyan, and the timing of the fault in the supply of raw materials. There is a solution.

But now there are people who want to control this market, so when Bingyan solves the problem, there will inevitably be great resistance. If people are not found, the situation that interferes with it will continue to happen, and there will be other accidents.

Bing Yan said: "I'm thinking now, who might this person be?"

Although Yanzhifang is very profitable, it is really profitable to the point of envy. This is not enough, because the sales volume of Yanzhifang is far from what Bingyan imagined.

This is a good question, and there are too many people who may.

In this place in the capital, there are not many people who want to have status, power and wealth. In terms of making money from profit, the scope of attack is too great.As long as it is profitable, there is really no shortage of tricks and tricks.

Yun Cang patted Bingyan's hand: "There is no rush, let's send someone to watch it first, and let's watch it quietly. As for the raw materials, how about I find someone to buy some from the outer city?"

Bingyan is very hopeful, all of this is because she is thinking too much, because the cost of transportation and other materials will be greatly increased if the raw materials are sent from the outer city, and it is not true that her raw materials can be supplied for a month. impatient.

But at this time, be careful to make the Wannian Ship, this is not food, the storage time of mouth fat is much longer than food, even if there are really more things, the amount of production will increase.If it's really all right, Bingyan can also hold a promotional event, and then open a sales volume at that time.

Think about Bing Yan: "That's fine."

Although Bingyan didn't think too much about it, she was still in a bad mood after all, which affected her appetite, so she didn't eat much at night.Yun Cang chatted with her for a while, read the book for a while, and the two went to sleep separately.

In the next few days, Yun Cang and Bingyan's people were fully mobilized, and the more they investigated, the more they felt that something was wrong, because there were indeed people coming and going outside the Cang Palace, and their behavior was a bit wrong.

For the experiment, Bingyan went out of the mansion by herself in a carriage to have a look at Ding Shuang's, and then asked Qingwu to change her clothes, and went out wearing a veil, and found that there were people following these two times. Obviously he is very experienced, because he wouldn't follow him from start to finish alone, if it wasn't for Yun Cang and Bingyan who were also watching with extra care, it was obvious that they would have been thrown off by them.

There are people staring at Cangwang's mansion, but people from other houses stare, at most they just walk around outside the mansion from time to time to see if there is anything wrong, just like the women in the backyard staring at other houses.But no one has that much energy, let's send someone to follow him from time to time, if he is really caught and pursued, that matter can be big or small.

If any major event occurs, that's all. It was possible that Yun Cang was pushed to the front because of the business relationship between the two countries, but now that he has nothing to do, it is completely unnecessary.

Yun Cang and Bingyan's method can only temporarily counter-stalk them, but these people are also very cunning, they really have no contacts, or are they the ones who discovered Yun Cang, so they did it on purpose?

Yun Cang pursed his lips tightly: "The level of alertness of these people is by no means as simple as the entourage and guards raised by ordinary people."

Yun Cang's subordinates tracked these people back, and the method was naturally good, and the ordinary guards in the general mansion would definitely not do this.Moreover, these people have no contacts at all. Either they have received instructions from above, or they have not found anything important and do not need to report it.

Bingyan's eyebrows were cold and stern: "Master guesses, these are royal people!"

"Those who have the ability to set up secret guards are definitely not something that ordinary officials and rich merchants can afford!"

This is the truth, but things are troublesome, this or this force, it is clear that the comer is not good!
