The lady may not be human

On the other side of the capital, the emperor received a report from the prefect of Lizhou in early October.

Prefect Xu didn't rush it on purpose, so the letter traveled slowly for more than half a month before reaching the emperor's hands.

When the emperor heard that it was from Lizhou, he was immediately pleasantly surprised. When he heard that it was from the magistrate Xu, he immediately discounted half of the discount.

However, he still took the booklet and looked at it.

Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help it: "Okay!!!"

He sighed and startled the servants.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued an order to let Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Industry and Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Households enter the palace.

As soon as Master Xu heard that he was allowed to enter the palace, and thought that it was almost the end of the year, and if the guarantee was not complete, where did he ask for money, he couldn't help cursing in his heart.

When he came to the gate of the palace, he had already calmed down, thinking to himself: "No matter what, I just have no money!"

Mr. Xu from the Ministry of Industry did not think much about it. He is also busy recently. The roads near the capital need to be repaired, and the places extending outward must also be repaired.

Of course, it's okay for the capital to say, and the Ministry of Households can approve the money.

In other places, it is naturally attributed to the state capitals to pay for it.

Fortunately, after the autumn harvest, taxes and food from all over the country came up, and the public accounts of Fuzhou were relatively ample.

And road construction is a good thing, everyone is happy, so all places are busy.

Everywhere needs it, and the Ministry of Industry is even busier.

After all, the cement recipe is still in the hands of the royal family, and the Ministry of Industry needs to work overtime.

Recently, Mr. Xu almost slept directly with the Ministry of Industry, because he was too busy, except for the necessary court, he really didn't bother to bother.

Now that he was called into the palace for the first time, he was quite surprised.

Seeing Master Xu together, Master Xu couldn't help laughing: "Oh, Master Xu, the Ministry of Industry recently..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Mr. Xu with a straight face, expressing indifferently: "If you don't have money, don't think about it!"

Master Xu laughed and said nothing more.

The two entered the palace, met the emperor, and then knew what had happened.

"Faster than a carriage? Open up [-] mu of land a day? Princess Zhuxin is really amazing!" Master Xu was surprised after hearing this, and couldn't help muttering a few times.

Mr. Xu is still stable, but he is quickly reckoning in his heart.

There is no way, money bag, habitual thinking is calculation, if there is such a thing, then...

The more people open up wasteland, the better.

But thinking about it again, I don't know the cost of this thing, if it is more expensive than cattle, then...

Can't promote.

After discussing with the two adults, the emperor directly sent Prince He to Lizhou.

Although the prince and the emperor are not brothers by the same mother, the other mother and concubine passed away early and have been raised in the queen mother's palace since childhood, so the relationship between the two brothers is not bad.

The emperor felt that for such an important matter, he must send a trustworthy person.

Of course, it's not very good to be alone, and you will still be bound.

So, the emperor thought about it, and sent Mr. Qiao, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, to go to Lizhou with the prince.

At this time, Dongnuan didn't know that the emperor's people were already on the way.

She's been busy getting saplings recently, and she can't make saplings of more than one hundred acres in a few months.

Therefore, I have been busy working overtime recently.

Dianthus is already very proficient at mixing fragrances, so there is no need to teach them.

However, for soap, carnation is still hand-made.

Therefore, before the first batch of flowers matured in large numbers, Dong Nuan asked Dianthus to set up a soap workshop.

The scale is small, and a group of well-behaved women and girls were recruited and divided into different assembly lines.

The other raw materials have already been prepared, just wait for the flowers to come out, extract the essential oils directly, adjust the fragrance, and then proceed to the production of soap.

A series of process steps, Dong Nuan taught Shi Zhu by hand, seeing that she almost closed her eyes, and she was able to make it, so Dong Nuan felt relieved.

Then, he concentrated on the affairs of Guolin.

In November, the villagers are free and have nothing to do, and they can come to work for Dongnuan again.

In this way, the shortage of manpower in Dongnuan has been alleviated.

Even in the county seat, some people have nothing to do, and they are willing to travel far to work.

After all, the staff dormitory is not small. In each small room, Dongnuan has set up bunk beds. Four people can sleep in one room, and there is still room to spare. Moreover, every five rooms have a common washroom. It's quite spacious.

In terms of accommodation, it's pretty good.

Dongnuan brought over from the capital, except for a small number of people who remained in the county government, and the rest were brought over and began to enter the role of migrant workers.

They adapted quickly and were all assigned to their own dormitories.

There are many places left. If some people have a long way to go, they can check in for accommodation.

Of course, it's not free, otherwise everyone will stay and live, so Dongnuan must fully develop Huiguang Village to be able to live.

Therefore, accommodation costs three Wen per day. Some people think that it is not too much, which saves time on the road and allows them to work more.

Dongnuan is in a hurry now, and he doesn't care whether he is a vampire capitalist or not.

Normal working hours are stipulated every day. Of course, during this time period, there are team leaders and supervisors in charge. It is absolutely impossible for everyone to be lazy.

After normal working hours, if you continue to work, it is considered overtime. If you work overtime, you will be paid four cents an hour.

The lodging only costs three pennies, and if you do an extra hour of work, you can afford the cost of the accommodation, and there is still one penny left. Many people feel that this account is suitable, so they stay and work more.

Some people are still taking care of the whole family, so they have no choice but to go home on foot.

When the first batch of flowers arrived in large quantities, Shi Zhu organized two groups of people to work.

One side is from the soap workshop, and the other is from the perfume workshop.

Of course, what these two workshops have in common is that...

When the flowers just come down, you need to extract the corresponding scented essential oils.

As for this step, only Shi Zhu and Dong Nuan's confidantes from the capital can handle it.

After the essential oil is extracted, it is transported to two corresponding workshops and then processed.

In fact, the efficiency is not bad. In the first ten days of November, a large number of flowers came down, enough to satisfy the processing of the two workshops.

Spices are easy to extract, and soap is easy to make.

However, compared with spices, they can be sent out for sale after extraction. For soap, it needs drying time.

It will take a month at the fastest, otherwise, if it is not formed, it will easily become soft when it touches water, which will affect the quality and service life of the soap.

Of course, the more important thing is that it is easy to damage word of mouth!
In mid-November, Prince He and Master Qiao wandered around for nearly a month, and finally arrived at Lizhou Mansion.

Seeing the Lizhou Mansion close in front of him, he and the prince almost cried like a child: "Woo, it's finally here, it's finally here..."
