Chapter 61 061

"In ancient times, apart from the salt and iron monopolized by the government, it seems that only women's money is the best to earn..." Shen Mengdie tried to figure out her chin with one hand, and tapped her finger on the table with the other hand. Secretly thinking about countermeasures.

"Dong dong dong..."

"Miss, Manager Zhao is here."

The servant girl's reminder made her stop what she was doing, straightened her sleeves and said to the person outside the door, "Come in."

"Squeak..." As the door opened, Manager Zhao brought in the gold she needed with two of his men in a small box.

"Boss, the money has been brought to you."

"Okay, you guys go back first. I'll send someone to inform you if there is anything to do, remember to arrange the entourage for this time." When dismissing Manager Zhao, Shen Mengdie did not forget to remind him to go to Kyoto again.Although the journey from Shen's house to the capital is not very far, but in special times, it is still possible to prevent any unpredictable accidents on the way.

"Yes." After a respectful salute, Manager Zhao took his subordinates to leave.

Listening to the sound of footsteps gradually walking away, Shen Mengdie walked to the box and opened it, and received all of them into the system with the function that the system could scan. "It seems that it can still be used to hold silver taels, at least you don't have to worry about being stolen."

Before that, she had tried to take out the silver taels brought from the previous world. After testing, this was indeed a feasible method. Even if she was alone in the wasteland, she could still exchange the silver taels for food.

In the end, after exchanging a few sets of clothes with different styles from the current style, I exchanged some rouge and gouache that worked well in the system display.Seeing a large pile of items in front of her, Shen Mengdie sent her maids to tidy them up, and brought these rouge powders to Shen's workshop.

The Shen family has been involved in the profitable industry, but as a family that has developed through agriculture, the Shen family has not done thorough research on these. After purchasing some common formulas and improving them many times, the rouge gouache sold is still only a Medium-level products, and those high-end secret recipes belong to the secrets of each rouge and gouache family.

"Boss, why did you come here?"

Just after arriving at a workshop store, a middle-aged woman with a charming figure walked up to her, and at the same time a gust of fragrant wind hit her head-on.

"Are you the steward here?"

"Yes, I don't know if this is..."

"I'll come over to have a look, and I'll bring you something at the same time." Shen Mengdie walked slowly towards the back room, while looking around, the various mixed aromas became more intense.

"Boss, please come inside quickly." The stewardess greeted the person inside, and at the same time told the assistant who was waiting quietly: "Hurry up and prepare tea."

"You look pretty good here, but I don't know what new progress has been made recently?" Shen Mengdie asked the female steward after sitting down on the chair.

"Hey..." After the female steward sat down slowly, she sighed and said, "Although our products are popular with ordinary people, they are..."

Hearing this, Shen Mengdie also understood what the other party would say next, so she interrupted her first. "These I sent today hope you will study them carefully."

"Qingrou, show the things to the steward." Shen Mengdie instructed Qingrou who was standing quietly behind her, while not forgetting to look at the stewardess's expression.

"This is..." After the female steward opened a box of rouge, she rubbed it gently with her fingers, and said in surprise, "Boss, this is even better than the rouge produced by the Rouge Pavilion in Kyoto. Is this your newly acquired secret recipe?"

"No, you take it and study the ingredients in it carefully, and try to make a finished product." Shen Mengdie didn't say much about the surprised expression of the female steward.Instead, he thought secretly in his heart: "If there is a secret recipe, I will buy the finished product for you to study."

Seeing what the boss said, the female steward didn't continue to ask any more questions. After handing it over to her assistant, she accompanied Shen Mengdie to inspect here.After this inspection of this place, Shen Mengdie did not understand the so-called processes, but harvested a lot of new products produced.

After returning to Shen's house with this pile of rouge and gouache, she sent someone to send some of them to Mo Qingxin's residence, and she sent someone to find charcoal and a soft ruler to draw the appearance of the clothes she had exchanged one by one. Fortunately, she had signed up for some hobby classes. Although she was not very proficient, she didn't have much problem just simply drawing.

While she was concentrating on busy work, a servant girl's message sounded outside the door. "Miss, Miss Mo is looking for you."

"Let her in." Shen Mengdie stopped what she was doing and looked towards the door.

"Yes."

"Squeak..." The door slowly opened, and Mo Qingxin came to her side.

"Sister Mengdie, what are you doing?" Today's Mo Qingxin was dressed in pink, smiling like a delicate flower in spring.

"I'm drawing the look of the costume."

"let me help you."

"Then... help me draw the one over there." Shen Mengdie looked at the items around her, pointed to another dress beside her, and took out a piece of rice paper and said.

Mo Qingxin took the rice paper she handed her, but rejected the charcoal pencil she gave her. "I'll be fine with this."

Mo Qingxin picked up the brush on the pen stand, tapped it lightly in the inkstone, and then raised her hand to start drawing on the rice paper like a flowing cloud.

Shen Mengdie stopped what she was doing, quietly watched the other person's movements, and watched her mark the size on it. "Xin'er, can you still use a brush?"

"My mother sent me to a private school."

"Oh." Thinking of the other party's identity, Shen Mengdie somewhat had a clue in his heart.Seeing the other party's concentration, she also continued to get busy.

After knowing that Mo Qingxin was literate, Shen Mengdie intentionally brought her by her side to let her get in touch with business matters.Time flies by, today is the day of departure, when Shen Mengdie took two maids and Mo Qingxin out of the gate of Shen's mansion, there were many officers and soldiers besides her own.

"Guan Shi, this is..." Shen Mengdie looked at the officers and soldiers suspiciously, and at the same time looked at Zhao Guanshi inquiringly.

"Boss, we are escorted by officers and soldiers from the imperial court every year when we pay taxes, but the number has increased this year."

"That's it..." Listening to Guanshi Zhao's answer, Shen Mengdie remembered that there seemed to be such a thing. Recently, unrest happened everywhere, and Shen's father had an accident on the way back.Judging from the reaction of the government, it should also pay special attention to the taxation this time, but no matter how many officers and soldiers the government sends, it will have no effect on her, at least she will not worry about anything going wrong on the way.

After counting the money, she watched the officers and soldiers carry the boxes into the special carriage that had already been prepared. After she stepped forward and locked them one by one, she led everyone into the carriage. , the carriage slowly drove away from the Shen residence.
