Chang'an, in the palace of King Qin.

Zhang Xiu doesn't have much to do now. Most of the time, she mainly accompanies Zhang Cheng and the women in her backyard. In order to pass the boring time, Zhang Xiu directly made mahjong.

Today's casinos have many forms of entertainment. But for most people, gambling is untouchable. Once you get into it, it's a matter of ruin.

But mahjong is suitable for young and old. It can pass the time. When the mahjong produced by Zhang Xiu appeared, it became popular in the palace of King Qin. Most of the time, when Zhang Xiu went to Huang Yueying's backyard, it was the sound of mahjong.

After all, Zhang Cheng was taken by someone, and now he has studied in the Academy under the guidance of Zheng Xuan.

It's even colder.

Fortunately, with mahjong, women have entertainment activities. Especially with the participation of Huang Yueying's daughters, this thing gradually spread, and soon became popular in the palace of King Qin.

On this day, Cao Jie is also here.

Most of the time, Cao Jie presided over things at home and in restaurants, and a few at home.

She is also a mahjong player now.

At the end of Cao Jie, while playing cards, she said: "Your Highness, mahjong is now popular in the palace of King Qin. I think it will be spread out soon. "

"I've heard that sister Huang's mother has learned."

"So I'm sure more and more people will like it. If you look at the production of mahjong, it's better to leave it to our sisters. We set up a shop to sell mahjong. "

"I think the business should be good," Cao said

Huang Yueying brightened her eyes and said, "yes, the mahjong we use today is made by me one by one. Well, we can make mahjong of different materials at different prices. Sister Cao's suggestion is good, and we can make money again. "

Cao Jie said, "my sister has a point!"

Others, such as big Joe and small Joe, also looked forward to each other.

They are in Lord Qin's house and have nothing to do.

Now it's time to play, so I'm very excited.

Zhang Xiu said, "if you want to play cards, you can. It's OK to do business. However, there should be no violation of law and discipline. Otherwise it will reach my ears, and nothing will be done. "

Cao Jie said with a smile: "don't worry, your highness. You have been looking after the house and the restaurant for so many years, and there has never been any problem. In particular, today's homes and restaurants have extended upward and downward, and there are more industries. "

Zhang Xiu came interested and asked, "what industry is there?"

While playing cards, Cao Jie said: "the first industry is the home and the restaurant itself. There are 15 branches around Chang'an city. Even the surrounding counties and counties, there are more branches, have been all over the counties and counties in Guanzhong

Zhang Xiu eyebrows up, is very unexpected.

He never paid attention to these things. He didn't expect that Cao Jie and other women would make their homes and restaurants so big. However, such a thing is also a good thing.

Cao Jie continued: "the second industry is pig industry."

"Although every place has learned how to castrate piglets, the supply of pork is in short supply. So there is a special pig farm below, which we funded to build. "

"The pig farm is located in the suburbs of Chang'an. It supplies not only Chang'an, but also Guanzhong. On the one hand, we earn money, on the other hand, countless people can do things, because they have to recruit people to work. "

"The profit of this industry is no less than that of homes and restaurants. After all, there are a large number of them."

Cao Jie had a proud look on his face.

Although Huang Yueying, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zhen MI and other women are also involved, the overall planning and arrangement are all arranged by Cao Jie, who is in charge of the overall situation.

So, she was very proud.

After hearing this, Zhang Xiu said, "yes, yes. I'm curious. What other industries do you have?"

Cao Jie added: "the third industry is the cultivation of vegetables."

"In summer, because of the good weather, many fruits and vegetables can be supplied in large quantities. After all, there is plenty of rain and sunshine, but not in winter

"Jiahe restaurant, as the highest and most high-end restaurant, not only uses pork and mutton to make delicious dishes, but also has fresh vegetables and fruits. Whether it's hot summer or cold winter, there are fresh vegetables and fruits in my family and restaurants. "

"It's something ordinary people can't eat."

"Your Highness doesn't spend much time at home all year round. I don't know that the vegetables and fruits at home are supplied by our own people. They are absolutely fresh."

Cao Jie said: "the cultivation of melons, fruits and vegetables requires countless farmers, and it also enables many people to have something to do, which is equivalent to solving the livelihood problems of many people."

"The most important thing is to make money."

"In summer, there is not much profit. After all, there are many vegetables and fruits. But in winter, it's different. Even if they are rich, they may not be able to eat such fruits and vegetables. ""We can provide it."

"This is the origin of the high price, even if there is a price but no market, and the supply exceeds the demand. Even if the price is expensive, there are countless people who want to buy food and earn countless money. "

Cao Jie said: "Your Highness, it's not polite to say that the money that our Lord Qin's mansion earns today is not as good as coal stone, rice paper, etc., but in fact, it's not as good as much. Because we are now involved in a lot of industries. "

Zhang Xiu praised: "fierce, fierce. I have heard that women can hold up half of the sky. You're not bad. You're women who can stand on their own. Women are not inferior to men. "

When Cao Jie heard this, he was very happy and the smile on his face was very charming.

The same is true of Huang Yueying and other women.

They married Zhang Xiu, but in fact, here in Zhang Xiu, we can feel Zhang Xiu's respect for them, without the slightest discrimination against women. Especially Cao Jie, her feelings are more profound.

Zhang Xiu said, "tell me, what other industries are there?"

At this time, Zhang Xiu is looking forward to it. He wants to see what these women can do.

Cao Jie said with a smile: "in fact, there are also some small industries, such as grain merchants. Pig raising costs countless grains, hogwash and so on. We are also operating in the field of grain, but the scale is small. In addition, some other small industries are also involved, but they are not too complicated. After all, we need it, so we have it all by ourselves. "

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "throughout the world, I am not afraid of anyone. My woman is enough to be proud of the world, far more than any other king's woman. She has a good wife in her family

"Your Highness, praise me

Cao Jie said, "Your Highness is the best if you don't criticize us for not doing our proper work."

Huang Yueying and others, one by one face is the same, all smile. Compared with other men, Zhang Xiu does not criticize them and gives them enough trust.

While Zhang Xiu was chatting with the others, a servant girl rushed in and came to Zhang Xiu's side. She said with a straight face: "Your Highness, Mr. Wang Yue asked to see you."

"I see!"

Zhang Xiu nodded and got up to leave.

When Zhang Xiu came out of the yard, Wang Yue came over in a hurry and reported: "Your Highness, I just received the news from the French prefect. It's quite urgent."

Then he handed over the letter.
