    ?

    Ever since the newcomer entered the mansion, people outside knew more about Jia's mansion. Perhaps Chen Chen's identity had finally gained a reputation. The mansion received several times more invitations than before.  The schedule has become much more busy all of a sudden. The Gu sisters are well-behaved. Although they were newlyweds and did not see their husbands all day long, they still have no complaints and no work. Occasionally, when Chen Chen returns home drunk in the middle of the night, she will serve him tenderly and carefully.  Falling asleep, there is no trace of the savage coquettishness of a lady from an aristocratic family!

    On the contrary, every time Chen Chen wakes up and sees the hangover soup that has been simmering on the table for several hours and the black and blue marks under Gu Lingyu's eyes, he is always a little embarrassed.  The friendship is true, since I can't give the same love, I can only use money or power to make up for it as much as I can, at least I can let them be pampered for the rest of their lives, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing!

    Chen Chen remembered that the mothers of the Gu sisters were from old lady Zhen's capable servant girl, and she was the best at counting!  Although Yingrong is managing the expense warehouse in the mansion now, Chen Chen is still in charge of the general ledger in the mansion!  Now that Chen Chen has no time to spare, he really doesn't have the time to check the accounts every day, and there is another person in charge of the account in the account room. After thinking about it, Chen Chen asked the Gu sisters to manage the accounts!

    In this way, Yingrong is still in charge of the internal affairs, and the accountant is handed over to the Gu sisters. Qingshu mainly focuses on external communication, and Chen Chen can get away from it. He only needs to deal with some social activities, and the rest of the time can be carefully planned.  The next arrangement is up!

    Chen Chen's decentralization of power is somewhat unexpected, but it is also reasonable. In the huge Jia family, he can't take care of everything by himself. There must be someone to share some things for him.  The bigger he is, the less able men he has under his command, so Chen Chen's methods are really beyond his reach!

    After the beginning of spring, another pillar industry of Jia Mansion opened grandly!

    Liuli Shiguang, this is Chen Chenqi's name!  The location of the store is located on the busy Sijiu Street. The decoration of the store is all made of glass. Although it is not as large as a modern window, it is enough to arouse people's amazement!

    ? During the three days of opening, every day the store was surrounded by water, and people flocked here just to touch and take a look at the magical glass window!  Chen Chen really felt that the glass windows of his house had been worn down deeply!

    The first batch of goods that came out of the factory had already been transported to Kyoto by water on a cargo ship on Xiangzi Road. The palace had its own craftsmen, and the installation of glass windows was simple. Those with a little knowledge could easily get started after reading the drawings.  , so this time only Qingshu was on the road alone!

    Before leaving, Chen Chen gave Qing Shu a stack of banknotes, and asked him to choose a shop in a good location in the capital to buy them. It is impossible for the Jia Mansion to hold back in Jiangnan with such a good business. Chen Chen is from the capital.  Although I may not go back, the store must be opened there!  However, for future convenience, Chen Chen still told Qing Shu to buy a suitable garden if he had one!

    After Qing Shu left, Chen Chen's life became busier!  The glass factory's products are in short supply, and now the orders for installing glass windows have been scheduled until August, and the furnaces in the factory have not been turned off. Adding three more furnaces still doesn't help, so let's forget about Chen Chen, although the money is good, but what  There is a day when the profit is over, the factory is already overloaded, and if you worry about it, something will happen sooner or later!

    On the contrary, the workers in the factory are all very happy. Even if they work daily from dawn to dusk, the smiles on their faces are still forever. Just this month, each of them made a small profit of twenty taels of silver, with four meals a day, fish  There is meat, a table with eight dishes and one soup, and rice and steamed buns to eat with an open stomach. This kind of life makes them wake up laughing at night, save their wages for a year, find a wife at the end of the year, and give birth to a big fat next year  Boy, there is hope for such a future!

    Chen Chen is busy every day, running around all day, seeing no one, and the anger in the backyard gradually fades away. Although the Gu sisters have real power as soon as they come, it is really enviable, but the accountant is not good.  They can cook well by themselves, if they let them do it by themselves, maybe some jokes will be caused!  Coupled with the lessons learned from the past in the backyard, no one dared to break their mouths in front of Chen Chen. After all, when the master got angry, it was really calm and scary!

    At the end of March, Qing Shu came back and brought back a table of tribute rewards. Chen Chen packed them into the warehouse as usual. To Chen Chen, the rewards in the palace were really tasteless.  He confessed to it like his ancestors, and he was afraid that someone would bump into it. That would be disrespectful to the emperor, and it would be a serious crime of beheading!  The only thing that is a little practical is that the face is shiny!

    However, the news that Qing Shu brought back next made Chen Chen smile!

    "My lord! The emperor heard from the servant that he wantedWhen I bought a house, I rewarded the master with a wave of my hand!  The servant went to see it, the house is really nice, the location is good, the yard is big, I heard it was a prince's mansion!  There are several princes' elder brothers whose mansions are all on that street!  "Qing Shu said with a smile, and sent up the land deed in his hand, "This is a shop chosen by the slaves. Not to mention the high price of the shops in the capital, good places usually have owners behind them, and they are all dignitaries.  Yes, we can't afford to be offended. Fortunately, Master Lou took care of us, so the slave didn't get bloody. Before he left, he had already hired the best craftsman in Kyoto to start the decoration!  Waiting for another batch of glass to be shipped, just in time for the finishing touches!  Let the nobles in Kyoto also take a good look at this rare glass window!  "

    Chen Chen casually looked at the title deed, and found that it was indeed a bustling commercial street with a good location, so his mouth naturally became lighter, "The boat on Xiangzi Road shipped three more shipments after you left, jewelry, perfume and rouge, all from the harem  The ladies in the palace asked for it by name, how do you think they responded in the palace?"

    "That's really great!" Qingshu showed off overjoyedly, "The empresses in the palace like the phoenix-tailed hairpin the most. According to the level of grade, there is one for everyone! There is also the Bauhinia Tower specially built for empresses.  To put it bluntly, I heard that there are noble people who are really red-faced because of this, and they are about to do it on the spot!"

    "That's good!" Chen Chen nodded in satisfaction, "Women in the palace like it, and wives and wives outside will naturally follow suit. Go down and ask the artisans of the Bauhinia Tower to make the new look I gave them before as soon as possible.  Come out, the branch in Kyoto is waiting for this batch of goods to open!"

    "Yes, master!" Qing Shu lowered his head in response, then reminded, "Master, what are the other shops in the capital for?"

    "Lingxiangge's cosmetics sell well, so it's necessary!" Chen Chen tapped the table with his right hand rhythmically, and ordered casually, "Don't leave the business of Zhongtianlou behind, so let's count it as one of them! Others  If the place is too small, forget it first! If it¡¯s novel, open a "Liu Li Shi Shi" and "IKEA"!"

    Thinking of the home furnishing experience stores all over the world in later generations, Chen Chen squinted his eyes and borrowed auspicious words first, hoping that his business can also become popular for a while!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
