The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Chapter 164: It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish

"That's good, try to do it within half a month."

"All the dresses and shoes I designed, as well as bags and various accessories."

"Get them all out as much as possible."

"When the time comes, I will invite some women to make a special trip to display it in the east and west courtyards of Jiaofangsi."

"This will completely establish Tianzi Pavilion's reputation in the imperial capital!"

Duan Chun said with satisfaction.

"Please don't worry, young master."

"I will try my best to make it happen."

Yue Luo replied.

Then he took out a pamphlet from his sleeve and came to Duan Chun's side.

Ask Duan Chun for advice one by one on some of the doubtful questions she recorded...

"Young Master, these are the pearls and gems on this little bag."

"My slave tried to ask the landowner to purchase materials."

"But the cost is huge and it may be difficult to complete."

Yue Luo asked many questions, and Duan Chun gave solutions to them all.

But faced with the pearl and gem inlay design of the small bag, she didn't know what to do?

The money expenditure in the landowner's book is limited, just the gems and pearls needed for a small bag.

That would cost thousands of taels or even more silver.

"Don't worry about that, pearls are slightly cheaper."

"Get the pearls up first, as for the gems..."

"I can help you solve this problem within two days."

As soon as Duan Chun saw it, he knew what to do.

Gems are too expensive, so use...

glass beads instead.

In this day and age, glass is now considered an absolute rarity.

But for yourself, there is no need to spend money at all.

It's just grinding some scraps of glassware into glass beads and adding some color inside.

It’s enough to make the ladies and ladies of this era go crazy…

"Thank you young master."

Yue Luo asked clearly all the questions he had here.

Duan Chun came here specifically to see the situation in Tianzi Pavilion.

After solving the problem, he stood up and left, preparing to see the situation in Shangxuanfang.

The three shops in Shangxuanfang have now been cleaned up.

In addition to a blacksmith shop, two other shops were temporarily used as warehouses.

Store all the created pots inside.

Of course, all the things inside are iron pots and hot pots.

As soon as the copper pot was made, it was directly transported away by Wanhua Tower that night.

During the few days Duan Chun was at the farm, the blacksmith shop had unknowingly made an astonishing amount of money!

Li Laosan and a group of disabled craftsmen were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

Duan Chun came to Shangxuanfang again, and the craftsmen quickly opened the door to greet him.

"Young Master, thanks to you this time."

"We old guys have hope again."

Li Laosan said with a smile and clasped his fists.

"This is just the beginning."

"Wait another half hour. The four families of the Hou Hou Cheng'en Boqing and Anbo will send people."

"Put away all the hot pot iron pots."

"One of these two shops is vacant and we are going to open a hot pot restaurant."

"Another one opens a stir-fry shop."

"Over at the farm, a large number of military relatives will come to learn skills in the past few days."

"You guys will look after each other from now on."

Duan Chun talked about his future plans.

Before going to the farm, he originally planned to use the two shops in Shangxuanfang as a place to sell goods.

But after going to the farm, I discovered that the largest number of people in the East and West Villages were not veterans and active Cavalry Guards.

But more military dependents...

You know, in ancient times the family system was very strict. Once someone in the family found a place to live.

A large number of tribesmen will follow.

Just like the situation in the East and West Villages, a veteran and a knightly guard sergeant lived here.

Then not only his mother-in-law and children will come, but also his father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, brothers and sisters will come together.

The number of military dependents in the East and West Villages gave Duan Chun a headache.

Especially the East Village, where there are the most active Cavalry Guardsmen and the largest number of military dependents.

Therefore, the issue of military families is what gives Duan Ning the biggest headache.

The war will continue, and more wounded soldiers need to be taken care of...

Then there will be more and more military dependents.

This is because my father values ​​friendship too much.

As a major general, he could only continue to help his father take care of the military family members.

But in the future, Bancun and Nancun may appear.

The emperor couldn't take care of so many wounded soldiers, so Dad himself took over all the trouble.

Duan Chun knows one thing very well: teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish.

Just taking money to support them is absolutely not enough, so let the military family members learn how to make money.

Solve more troubles from now on.

What makes Duan Chun even more delighted is that he is now living in a feudal dynasty.

The military dependents all obeyed their father's military orders, so they would strictly implement their own orders.

They will do whatever they are asked to do, and as long as they can support their families, they won't cause too much trouble.

Duan Chun changed his mind and planned to open a new style tavern in Shangxuanfang.

First, we will teach more military cooks here, and then use the family property of the four families of Hou Hou Daihou.

Open more restaurants in various places...

"I understand, Major General."

"We will do whatever you say."

Li Laosan nodded quickly.

"How many of my shops around here can be recovered?"

Duan Chun asked.

"Major General, the leases for the nearby shops have not expired."

"Even if it expires, they will not give up the shop easily."

"We will continue to renew the lease, just because our shops have low rent."

"They all use them as their warehouses."

Li Laosan replied.

"I don't have enough shops now."

"We can't let them occupy them any longer."

"Help me figure out who the masters behind these shops are?"

"I'll find a way."

Duan Chun said.

He asked the housekeeper and asked Zhang Wu and Zhao Changlong to find out.

He only found out the backgrounds of two or three shops.

Who are the owners of the other two shops?

We must find out everything first.

"Yes!"

Li Laosan and the veterans bowed their heads.

After Duan Chun took a look at the situation of the two shops, he took his guards to check around in Shangxuanfang.

He had to do the most important and time-consuming thing next.

Turn the corner and walk through the busy streets.

Duan Chun rode Xiaohuo to a place with green trees.

Looking at a huge archway, there were three big characters engraved on it: [Qingxu Temple].

"Young Master, this is the Qingxu Temple you asked about."

"This was originally a royal Taoist temple of the previous dynasty."

"But since the founding of the Great Kang Dynasty, His Majesty has stopped practicing Taoism."

"Most of the Taoists in this Qingxu Temple have been dismissed by His Majesty."

"In such a large Taoist temple, there are only a few dozen Taoists who are determined not to leave."

"They hide inside and read all day long."

"Even the memorial archway has not been cleaned for a long time."

Zhang Wu explained behind Duan Chun.

When Duan Chun was at the farm, he encountered a big problem.

That is, there were few literate soldiers in the farm, whether they were veterans or active soldiers.

This is also normal in this era.

Most of those who can read are children of aristocratic families.

Even if there are literate scholars in the folk, they have to rely on aristocratic families in the end to get a chance to live.

So he asked about the situation in Shangxuanfang, hoping to find a place where children can live and study.
