After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

"There are some."

Madam Deng smiled widely and said hurriedly, "I shouldn't have troubled Your Highness to worry about me when I'm away from home."

"It was supposed to be so, why shouldn't it be so?"

Qin Yaoguang smiled and said, "I want to provide for Nanny in her old age, but I still have to trouble Nanny to take care of my affairs."

She really couldn't bear to see Nanny Deng running around for her at her old age.

But these things can only be done by Nanny Deng.

Everyone in the mansion, everyone knows that apart from the eldest princess, Nanny Deng has the final say.

Even Yan Changqing's words are not as influential as Nanny Deng's in the Princess's Mansion.

After seeing off Nanny Deng, Master Qu came to take Yan Jinyang away.

The little girl opened the curtain, and Shuangjiang came in carrying a pile of boxes of different sizes, presenting the latest finished products from the bookshop.

There were several playing cards made according to Qin Yaoguang's requirements, as well as dip pens and inks made of different materials, a stack of the most seasonal flowery paper and a newly published script.

The pen holders are made of various materials such as glass, ceramics, feathers, etc., ranging from expensive to cheap. The workmanship is very delicate and beautiful, with simple and smooth lines.

And ink.

In ancient times when high-purity glass had not yet appeared, ceramics were still the most widely used containers.

Looking at the exquisite stationery lined up on the desk, Qin Yaoguang couldn't help but sigh once again at the skilled craftsmen and aesthetics of this era.

She just drew the blueprint and got such a beautiful finished product.

Even the ink bottles come in several different colors and styles, corresponding to the ink inside.

The translucent thin-bodied white porcelain contains beautiful rouge ink, the plain and elegant ordinary celadon bottle contains black ink that is easy to write with, as well as several different types of ink in shades of blue, dark blue and lake blue.

Qin Yaoguang tried them one by one, and found that the black ink was very smooth to use for writing.

It didn't have the unpleasant smell of calligraphy ink that she had seen before, but instead exuded a faint fragrance of ink.

The only drawback is that it tends to solidify into lumps after opening.

"Master, black ink is not suitable for brushes. Once the ink solidifies, it will damage the brush. You can only use a dip pen." Shuangjiang said, "Uncle Liu said that he is trying to come up with a formula that will not damage the brush."

Qin Yaoguang nodded.

She is already very satisfied with such results.

Spreading out a piece of floral paper with a faint plum blossom pattern printed on it, she took out a crystal clear glass dip pen, dipped it in lake blue ink, and drew a pen sketch on the floral paper.

In less than a minute, she had created a small scene in front of the window.

I couldn't take my eyes off the frost.

Even though it was not the first time she saw her master painting, every time she saw it, she would sigh in her heart, as if it were a magic trick.

Putting down the pen, Qin Yaoguang felt satisfied.

The disadvantage of a dip pen is that when using it, you need to keep dipping in the right amount of ink, and you can't do it in one go.

With Dajing's current technology, it is impossible to add a container that can provide a stable supply of ink to the dip pen.

But it's already very good.

The pen holder in particular is simply stunning.

The glass pen she had just used was a deep blue all over, gradually turning into turquoise at both ends, with an enchanting color.

It gleams with a faint luster under the sunlight, and its unique colors and textures sparkle, making people love it.

So beautiful!

This is the most expensive one among them.

The ceramic pen barrel also has a surprise.

The hollowing process is used during firing to make the pen lighter and more durable for long-term use.

Different patterns are painted on the pen holder, such as the common landscapes, flowers and birds, cranes, auspicious clouds, the three friends of winter, bamboo and rocks, etc.

Qin Yaoguang looked at it and thought that this was a pen that could be used to produce a series of products.

Different colors of glaze matched with different patterns make different products, which can greatly satisfy the collecting addiction.

The firing process is simple, the price is moderate, and it can be mass-produced.

The cheapest one is the feather pen.

This writing tool, which has been popular in Europe for more than a thousand years, naturally has its unique features.

First of all, the materials are simple. Any feather that is long and hard enough can be used. The most common one is a quill pen, such as the one Qin Yaoguang is holding in his hand.

She tried it and was able to write small and delicate characters, finer than the tip of a glass pen.

Moreover, because of the presence of the feather tube, it can also store some ink, making it more durable than dip pens made of other materials.

Dajing did not use cardboard. The poker cards were made of the stiffest paper. The back was painted with a picture of the Five Blessings, and the front was painted with the poker cards as Qin Yaoguang requested.

The three suit cards JQK are decorated with lion patterns. The big and small jokers cannot be called the big and small jokers of course, but rather the big and small unicorns.

"reward."

Qin Yaoguang smiled and put down the pen: "According to the amount of effort, you can draw up a reward proposal, and everyone will be rewarded."

If you want employees to work hard, giving bonuses in a timely manner is undoubtedly the most effective way.

"Yes."

Shuangjiang put away the things one by one and said with a smile: "Master, the shopkeepers and the village head have arrived one after another in the past few days. Would you like to meet them this year?"

The shopkeepers and farm managers she mentioned were all from the capital or its suburbs. Those who lived far away had already paid their rent and returned.

These people are the core executives of Qin Yaoguang's industries.

"There are also people from the county prince waiting in the capital, wanting to visit the master."

In previous years, Shuangjiang would not come to ask the eldest princess specifically.

His Highness had always ignored these menial affairs, and she would report them all to Nanny Deng, who would then meet people and distribute the dividends.

But now, she feels different.

"See."

When Qin Yaoguang heard that Yan Changqing's people were still around, she remembered that he had handed over all the farmland and shops he had bought to her.

Okay, I have to see it too.

With so many industries, if no one is in charge, it will easily get into chaos.

Merchants are profit-oriented. Even if they are loyal, they can't help but have their own little calculations and need someone to keep them in check.

"You can arrange it and find a place in the outer courtyard to invite the shopkeepers and the village head to have dinner."

Have an annual meeting.

She had already looked at the account books.

Frost was already cooked, and she used the "Business Income Report" given to her by Qin Yaoguang, so that the revenue and profit of each place were clearly visible.

It is very clear which store has high profits and which one is losing money, and why.

Who should be rewarded, who should be punished, and who should be punished? It's time for her to use her old sales skills.

After finalizing the matter, Qin Yaoguang instructed Shuangjiang to have the bookshop use this as a sample and rush out 20 sets of ceramic and feather dip pens, and another 50 sets of playing cards.

Colored glass is a precious material, so there is no rush, just make as many as you can.

After the frost retreated, the officials of all ranks in the mansion came back to deal with matters.

The backlog of affairs over the past few days kept Qin Yaoguang busy for a whole afternoon before he had time to drink a cup of tea.

I looked up and saw dusk falling outside the window.

"Mammy hasn't come back yet?"

When Hanlu heard this, she knew that she was asking about Madam Deng, so she knelt down and replied, "I have been keeping an eye on her, but she hasn't replied yet."

Qin Yaoguang frowned slightly and said, "Send someone to go to the Ningguo Mansion to check. Why did he go away for so long?"

Could it be that he encountered some danger?
