On the way back, Qingshu fell into deep thought. Yi An knew that she was thinking about something and didn't dare to disturb her, so he leaned on the carriage and waited.

It was not until Jianmu talked about home that Qingshu came to his senses, "Yi'an, I have an idea for you to refer to me."

"OK."

After the two entered the house, Qingshu asked Honggu, Bajiao and others to send a break: "Yi'an, I just thought of an idea. If I do it well, I will definitely make a lot of money."

What Yi An lacks the most now is money: "What idea."

“Sell spices.”

Yi An looked at her and said with a smile: "Spices? There are many spices sold in Beijing. Can our spices be sold at a high price?"

The main reason is that she has never seen Qingshu mixing fragrance. She thinks it is unreliable to sell spices in this situation.

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Qingshu hurriedly said, "The spices I mentioned are not the kind that is smoked in the clothes, but the kind that can be eaten."

“Can the spices be eaten?”

Qingshu smiled and nodded, "Yes! The reason why my pickles are so delicious is because the spices I have configured are inside. I can improve this spice and sell them out."

Yi An understood and said, "You mean you will improve this spice. If you buy it and put it in the dish, the taste of the dish will improve."

"right."

Yi An said: "The idea is good, but are you sure the spice will taste better if it is in the dish?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "Not only pickles, but also the spices I have used for braised meat. Of course you can eat them! If you don't believe it, you can find someone to try it after I get it."

"Everyone has a different taste. Some like to be lighter and some like to be thicker. At that time, you can put more and less according to your preferences."

The more I said that Qingshu felt that the business had great prospects: "Yi'an, food is the most important thing for the people. Who doesn't want to eat in this world? Who doesn't want their own food to be better? Maybe a pack of spices can make less money, but as long as the amount is large, the profit is still very considerable."

After hearing this, Yi An was a little suspicious: "Is it really that profitable? Our braised pork is so delicious, and it only has a profit of more than 10,000 taels a year."

Qingshu laughed: "These two are incomparable! Yian, the braised pork has been stored for too short. It broke the day before it was sold out in summer, but the spice is different. As long as it is stored properly for a year, it will not break. Therefore, we can sell the spices to other places."

After hearing what she said, Yi An thought it was good, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's give it a try. What do you think you want me to do?"

Qingshu said: "I'll come out the recipe, and you can find someone."

Yi An frowned.

Qingshu actually had an idea: "There will definitely be many wounded soldiers after the war. Then, a group of trustworthy people will be selected from it."

Yi An shook his head and said, "This kind of light work must be done better by women."

Qingshu smiled and said, "Women don't have that much strength to grind various medicinal materials into powder. So, it takes a man with strength to do this."

Yi An then asked, "How many people are you going to need?"

Qingshu couldn't confirm for the time being: "Fifty people are here first! If the sales are good, we will expand production."

If you can't become fat in one bite, you naturally have to do business step by step and make steady progress.

"Will fifty people be a little too many?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "Don't worry, there won't be too many. I have a few spice recipes in my hand, and I can sell them as long as I improve them."

Although Yi An did not do Gu's business, he also understood what he should know: "If we want to do business, many people will definitely imitate it. What should they do if they sell spices at that time?"

Qingshu was not worried about this, and said, "There is no need to worry about this. It is so easy to study a formula that Fuyun Tower cannot stand for a hundred years. As long as we make a reputation and continue to improve the formula, others will not be able to take away our business.

Wu Yian smiled and said, "I don't know how to do business, I will listen to you. I can't do much to do this shop. Just give me 10% of the stocks."

"I'm not going to give you stocks this time."

Yi An said, "I will give you all the braised meat shops and dyeing shops! I haven't done much effort over the years."

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Qingshu quickly explained: "This weapon manufacturing department is a money-burning business, and it's not okay to have no money. I don't know how much money this workshop can make, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat."

She felt that as long as this business was done well, she would definitely make a lot of money, but after all, she didn't dare to speak loudly before she started doing it.

When Yi An heard this, he said, "What do you mean, will the profits of this workshop be given to me in the future?"

"right."

Yi An hugged Qingshu in a state of emotion and said, "I just said it casually, and you started to plan."

"It's not just because of you. Jingen also told me about this before. He said that our weapons fall on barbarians, and if we don't pay attention to them, we will suffer a great loss in the future."

Yi An said with a head of heart, "Then did he tell the emperor?"

"No need to say that, how could the emperor be so wise, not knowing this hidden danger? It's just that he can't spare his hands to do this now, both internal and external troubles."

Qingshu said with bright eyes: "Yi'an, if we do this, do you mean we will leave a name in history?"

She always wanted to do something meaningful, but the woman could do too little and was very restrained. But now Yi An has this ambition, so she wants to do her best to help her.

Yi An was infected by her emotions and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely fight for this matter. In terms of understanding weapons, the emperor is not as good as me."

"By the way, have you used your flintlock rifle? If not, borrow it for a few days. This weapon won't rust."

Qingshu has never used this thing, of course, it is mainly because there is no chance of using it.

Qingshu asked Honggu to bring the flintlock rifle.

After opening the box and looking at the intact flintlock rifle, Yi An closed the box again: "Qingshu, if you talk about it, your stepfather is really a talent. Unfortunately, he is old and can't go out to sea anymore."

Qingshu felt aroused and asked softly: "Do you want to do a shipping business?"

Yi An smiled and said, "I think I'm thinking, but I don't know how to do business. Although this shipping business is violent, it's also very risky. If you are not careful, you may lose everything."

Qingshu didn't understand this, but she thought it was also a way. In the past, the profits of several shops could save a lot of money in addition to providing daily expenses, so she lacked interest in making money. But now it's different, and she must work hard to make money.

"There is no rush to do this. When Jingen comes back, I will discuss it with him. As for you, you will also find an opportunity to tell the emperor about this matter. With the emperor's support, we will be much more convenient in the future."

Yi An nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and write a letter to ask him what he means. If you dare not agree, hum..."

Qingshu pursed her lips and said, "Don't worry, the emperor will agree."
