The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Duan Chun seemed to have thought of some ways to make money.

But how to implement it requires a complete plan.

After sending Fu Bo away, Duan Chun returned to the study and sat in front of the desk to think carefully.

After traveling to this era, it seems that he not only needs power to ensure his own safety.

He also needs to be able to make money to make himself live more comfortably.

More importantly, if he becomes a son-in-law in the future, he will not have to worry about the oppression of the royal family every day.

If he has power and money, he can also please His Majesty and the Queen.

Who else in the world can threaten me?

Duan Chun took the pen and rolled his eyes. Now he has to plan several major things to do in the future!

The first thing is the task of this palace banquet.

Duan Chun was still thinking about how to complete His Majesty's will.

It can not only humiliate the Beixia envoys, but also ensure the completion of His Majesty's instructions.

I accidentally went to the Jiaofang Division today, and this matter can be successfully achieved through dance choreography.

It is necessary to rehearse the song and dance well to make the emperor happy.

The second thing is the condition of the queen.

Duan Chun has met the queen and knows that she has a kind personality.

Moreover, she is the sister of his stepmother.

If she is not the queen, Duan Chun has to call her aunt.

Based on this relationship, if he can cure the queen's tuberculosis.

That will be his biggest support in the palace in the future!

Duan Chun racked his brains for half a night last night, and then he thought of a prescription he had heard of in his previous life.

The name is Shuang'er Soup.

Shuang'er Soup is a traditional medicinal food.

It is a soup made of white fungus, black fungus and rock sugar, which comes from the folk.

It can assist in the treatment of tuberculosis, which is one of the two methods Duan Chun can think of at present.

The other is to extract streptomycin, which can effectively treat tuberculosis, as long as it is not lung cancer.

Streptomycin can almost be said to be a cure.

But streptomycin is an antibiotic. In this era, if there are not enough tools.

It can't be extracted at all!

When Duan Chun was studying, he once followed his tutor to do an experiment to extract streptomycin from honey.

In order to get streptomycin, he had to carefully remember the experimental steps and experimental tools.

Then he had to put them together step by step.

But now, Duan Chun can use Shuanger Decoction to alleviate the Queen's symptoms.

As long as the condition does not continue to worsen, he will find a way to extract streptomycin.

The third step of the plan is to make money.

Just now, Duan Chun has learned about the current financial situation of the Duke's Mansion from his stepmother.

Dad can't make money but spend money. His salary and fiefdom have a fixed monthly income.

But the expenses and internal consumption are increasing...

And as a stepmother, she can't manage the Duke's Mansion's property in person.

I must take over as soon as possible and make more money.

Blacksmith shop, embroidery shop...

Duan Chun took a pen and scribbled on the paper out of boredom.

He began to think about his own little thoughts in his heart...

Half an hour later, the housekeeper Fu Bo sent three boxes of Duke's Mansion account books.

Duan Chun immediately picked up the account books and carefully checked them.

He wanted to find out as soon as possible what the situation was like in the Duke's Mansion.

It was not until the second half of the night that he got up, extinguished the candle and left the study.

He ran to the side room quietly, stretched out his hand and pushed the door open.

Xing'er and Tao'er had already fallen asleep on the low bed on one side of the room.

Duan Chun smiled and got into the bed, which immediately woke up the two beautiful maids.

"Master... It's so late..."

"Shh, don't talk..."

Duan Chun laughed and got between the two maids.

His hands gradually became dishonest.

Today, I finally redeemed the beauty of the Jiaofang Division.

As a result, the stepmother let Yue Luo live in the inner courtyard...

How could Duan Chun hold back?

Xing'er and Tao'er's jade faces were flushed, and they could only let the young master do whatever he wanted...

A night passed.

It was not until dawn that Duan Chun returned to his main room in his clothes.

Take the time to rest.

Because of Tao'er and Xing'er's status, the maids can only live in the side yard to serve the master.

Except for cleaning the master's bedroom, you must not live in it.

Otherwise, according to the customs of Dakang, you will be directly expelled from the mansion.

This is a strict rule of rank.

Early the next morning, Duan Chun finished bathing and changing clothes with the help of two maids.

After breakfast, he changed into official robes and went to the inner courtyard to pay respects to his stepmother.

"Chun'er, I heard that you read the account book all night last night?"

"I wonder what Chun'er thinks?"

Zhang Feng asked with a smile.

"Stepmother, I have seen it clearly."

"Now there are still ten shops under the name of our Duke's Mansion."

"Three workshops and two embroidery workshops."

"The monthly rent of the shops is too low, and it can only keep the food and salary of the craftsmen in the three workshops."

"The only ones that can make money are the two embroidery shops that A Niang brought from her mother's home."

"I think we should negotiate with them to increase the rent of the shops."

"I have to go to the blacksmith workshop as well."

"What happened there?"

"Only by reducing the burden and increasing the workshop's output to earn more profits can the workshop be maintained for a long time."

"But the most troublesome thing is not the shops and workshops."

"But it seems that there is a big problem in A Niang's two embroidery shops!"

Duan Chun expressed his thoughts.

"Oh, why does Chun'er think that there is a big problem in the embroidery workshop?"

Zhang Feng asked quickly.

"Aniang, those two embroidery workshops followed Aniang to the Changguo Duke's Mansion."

"The profits of the embroidery workshop have always been considerable."

"The embroidery workshop and textile workshop can bring in at least one or two thousand taels of silver every year."

"But since last year, the annual income of each embroidery workshop has dropped sharply."

"The total income is less than six or seven hundred taels of silver."

"Haier looked at the account books that were sent to him. The directors of the two embroidery workshops said there was no business."

"The embroiderer's salary has been reduced a bit."

"But my child feels that this matter is not that simple."

"My child plans to take some time to see it for himself."

Duan Chun analyzed, but did not tell the truth.

He knew that the two pieces of embroidery were originally the property of the Zhang family and came to the Changguo Duke's mansion with the stepmother as dowry.

But all the bosses and bosses of the embroidery workshop are all relatives of the Zhang family.

These people are playing tricks in the middle, which will lead to a significant reduction in the income of the embroidery workshop.

Due to her family status, the stepmother could not find a suitable method and could only watch helplessly.

"Chun'er can tell so many secrets just by looking at the account books?"

"A-niang is finally relieved, you are the prince of Changguo."

"My mother-in-law has long wanted you to take over the family business in the mansion."

"If Chun'er wants to take care of the family property, I will hand over all the keys and seals to you."

Zhang Feng's face lit up after hearing this.

She, the princess of the country, is involved in various aspects.

He has become increasingly unable to control a group of servants.

Just as Duan Chun guessed, Zhang Feng was the stepmother and her status in the Duke's palace was already very embarrassing.

It's not easy for her to take care of her father's old department.

It is even harder for her to offend members of the Zhang family.

Therefore, the accounts of Changguo Duke's Mansion are getting worse and worse...
