Section 083 Another new industry
Sun Yuanjun had a menstrual ceremony, and Bai Minghe was just to care about his wife.
There are not as many high-end materials as in later generations, but the principle is not complicated. Baiminghe also copied the famous brand of diapers in later generations and made a lot of money. So he is very clear about the principle.
When Qinghe appeared that day, Bai Minghe just joked that he was making money.
As a result, these women are so brave that they have found so many people to do it.
Huaiyu explained the origin of these people to Bai Minghe: "Brother-in-law, the match shop has just begun, and the sticky match heads are all miscellaneous work. The palace maids who came out of the palace are all people who do meticulous work. My sister also said that leaving a hundred workstations in the match shop is equivalent to supporting a hundred families!"
"Okay, that's a good idea!"
"Brother-in-law, this one made by Sister Qinghe is better than brother-in-law's."
According to Huai Yu, Qinghe improved the design of the white-famous crane. It is reflected in two methods, one is the material on the inside. Qinghe chose cheaper gauze. This gauze is not the modern gauze, but is mixed with hemp and cotton. The material used to make women's inner skirts in the Ming Dynasty.
Choose this, first of all, it is much cheaper than the cotton cloth used by Baiming Crane, and more importantly, it is softer than the cotton cloth, which is not only more comfortable but also has improved water absorption.
From the perspective of materials, Qinghe knows at least ten times more about the materials native to the Ming Dynasty than Baiminghe.
The other is the style. This kind of thing in Bai Minghe's mind is disposable. However, Qinghe doesn't think so. She can definitely use it multiple times after washing it once, so she changed the style of the briefs-shaped ones used by Bai Minghe to make it more comfortable to wear.
"Brother-in-law, Sister Qinghe said that she would ask for some more people."
"No more, Hepu County has a county, with only more than 1,000 households. Less than 5,000 people can work. They are still clearing land and building canals. There are still tens of thousands of acres of land that have not been planted. At present, even babies under ten years old have gone to the fields to work. If you don't want anyone, can you still sell this thing?"
Bai Minghe directly opposed it. Hepu County is a small county and a poor county. Among the Ming Dynasty ratings, it was Xia County.
To be honest, Xia County, which is the annual tax of Xia County, is less than one percent compared to Laishui County where Sun Yuanjun’s family is located. Many families are so poor that they don’t even have a pot.
Huaiyu pouted her mouth, thinking that she could convince Bai Minghe.
Seeing Huaiyu's pitiful appearance, Bai Minghe couldn't bear it anymore and touched Huaiyu's head: "Okay, tell me about your small workshop, there are dozens of people, and it is also a big workshop in the capital."
Huaiyu hugged Bai Minghe's arm and leaned tightly against Bai Minghe: "Brother-in-law, Sister Qinghe has calculated it with her sister. The sponge is not valuable at all. You can buy a bunch of them at the grocery store. My sister just asked a new yamen runner casually, and he went back to the village to pull a carriage. How much does this thing cost in each village of Hepu?"
That's right, this thing is in the sea. If you really need it, it's a few meters deep in the sea. If you want to find a large piece, about twenty meters deep, you can get a ton of cold-dried rice for a village a day.
"Let's talk about fabrics. You can buy five fine linens for one tael of silver, and each can make thousands of pieces. Yarn is cheaper, and one tael of silver can be eight pieces. Cotton is more expensive, one tael of silver is two kilograms, but one tael of silver is used very little. The one that my brother-in-law made for my sister is a real cotton tweed."
Huaiyu finally had something to do and told Bai Minghe excitedly.
Bai Minghe didn't want to dampen Huaiyu's enthusiasm and asked, "Then have you changed?"
"It has been changed. The mezzanine is made of fine linen bunches." Huaiyu blushed and said in a very small voice near Bai Minghe: "This, there is a little cotton in the close-fitting place. So it is no problem to make tens of thousands of cotton per pound."
Huaiyu's words should not be anything in modern times.
But in the Ming Dynasty, if such a shameful person is, that woman dares to tell a man casually.
Bai Minghe didn't react and was calculating the market value of this object in his mind. Speaking of market theory, Daminghe did not dare to claim to be the first. After all, Da merchants also have their own way of doing business. But Bai Minghe believes that he is definitely the top ten best businessmen.
This kind of thing sells handicrafts and creativity.
The most important one is sponge. This thing is only available near the sea.
"Brother-in-law!" Huaiyu approached Bai Minghe: "Sister picked several of the most suitable sponge and boiled it with whistle-added water. Then she soaked it after the dye water. She was the person by the sea. At first glance, she didn't know what the thin layer in the interlayer was!"
Bai Minghe shook his head. He no longer underestimated the people of the Ming Dynasty. In order to make money, they would definitely recognize this material.
The people in real seaside fishing villages are too poor, so this thing must be sold to large towns.
The Ming Dynasty had no intellectual property rights, and no patent protection. My matches were protected by steel knives...
Steel knife!
Bai Minghe felt aroused in his heart. Absolute monopoly is the king. So what is the way to monopoly? In the Ming Dynasty, there was nothing more advantage than a steel knife. When the knife was placed on his neck, few people dared not bow their heads.
Bai Minghe secretly praised himself for being really clever.
"Come on!" Bai Minghe shouted softly, and a waitress standing beside her approached. Bai Minghe then continued, "Go and call Bai Hong over." The waitress responded and hurried out to find someone.
Bai Hong is right at the door of the backyard. He belongs to the category of retainers, but he still cannot enter the backyard at will. This is the rule of the Bai Mansion.
"Go and tell Du Baihu that tomorrow we will ask him to choose the location first. I asked him to listen to the opinions of Su Lao in each village. I will go to see Commander Mao tomorrow." Bai Minghe took out three letters: "These three letters will be handed over to Du Baihu and Shen Baihu, and the last letter will be handed over to Yang Baihu!"
"Yes!" Bai Hong took it with both hands and ran to do the business.
This scene was seen by Sun Yuanjun and Qinghe who were standing in the distance. Qinghe whispered to Sun Yuanjun: "The young master's aura is no worse than those in the capital!"
What Sun Yuanjun said was not as polite as Qinghe. He smiled and said, "A small seventh-rank county magistrate has almost the same profile as the top second-rank official. He said that the rules here are now living here, so the rules here cannot be less. Xiaojie was the same, and he actually listened to him and coached these family members according to the rules in the palace."
Sun Yuanjun's family is a very euphemistic word, and it is too ugly to say that the family slaves are.
"But that's good. The young master will definitely be a minister and a minister in the future. It's not a bad thing for his family to know the rules earlier." Qinghe did not think that there was anything wrong with such rules.
At present, Bai Fu is treated as the old man in the Bai family. Like Bai Hong, he is the second-class servant in the family, and there is no first-class servant at the moment. According to Jin Jie, if there is no suitable candidate, it is empty, and it is impossible for these people to get any better identities.
Not to mention servants, but in charge of affairs, even maids are all different.
The only one who got the first-class maid was the sister of the twin sisters around Sun Yuanjun. Because she was literate, she was in charge of some maids collecting items and necessary expenses in the backyard.
Bai Minghe never thought about these things. In the TV series he watched, there are naturally rules for big houses in the door of big houses.
No matter how I say it, I am also an official, and the county magistrate is not considered a minor official in the modern era. Who has ever heard of the eighteen-year-old county magistrate, and the county is the only one who has the final say.
How can this be a show of style? This is just a normal life.
Seeing Bai Minghe turn around, the two women hurriedly hid in the house and talked about their men behind their backs. It would be so embarrassing if they find it.
Bai Minghe did not go to Sun Yuanjun's room, but went to the small study room. It was called Xiao Shufang, but it was actually a study room. The main function here was to practice calligraphy, and there were only two people who practice calligraphy. The big one was Bai Minghe and the small one was Zhu Jianshen. Qinghe commented that Zhu Jianshen's calligraphy was better than Bai Minghe.
Sun Yuanjun’s comment was that Bai Minghe’s progress was much faster than Zhu Jian.
After entering the house, Zhu Jianshen, who was four and a half years old, was squatting on the ground to wash his used pen and inkstone. When he saw Bai Minghe coming in, Zhu Jianshen looked dissatisfied: "Teacher, I have seen others who have scholars doing these miscellaneous work before. If you ask me to do it yourself, this will delay my time practicing calligraphy!"
"Nonsense!" Bai Minghe laughed and scolded: "They can't do anything when they grow up, but they just know how to eat and wait for death. So do you?"
"Of course I'm different!" Zhu Jianshen's confidence was much stronger than before under the education of Bai Minghe.
Baiminghe helped Zhu Jianshen wipe the water on his hand: "My disciple of Baiminghe is naturally the best in the world. Reading poetry and books is just the smallest requirement, and you still have a lot to learn."
"Teacher, when can Yinglan come to practice calligraphy with me?"
"In a few days, Yinglan will be a little unacceptable to the local conditions. Besides, she must always understand some rules. You are the prince, not the child of an ordinary family. Yinglan can study and play with you, but she can't let her lead you badly. It is definitely wrong to always make trouble."
Speaking of Bai Yinglan, Bai Minghe was so scared.
This little girl is lawless. She is the daughter of the eldest grandson of Bai's family. She is loved by the old lady so no one dares to take care of her.
Even the offerings in the ancestral hall were dared to steal. If Zhu Jianshen was damaged, he would return to the capital and secretly offer them in the Ming Dynasty Taimiao, Bai Minghe would not even need to explain, and would be beheaded if he just pulled them away.
"Let's go, the teacher teaches you the first thing you really need to learn as a man."
"Real men need to learn!" Zhu Jianshen's chest immediately stood up. He knew he was a man.
What surprised everyone was that Bai Minghe took Zhu Jianshen into the kitchen.
