Chapter 375 Spring
Yinzheng.
Just arrived at four o'clock in the morning, and the watchman on duty in Yiguo's mansion was still conscientiously guarding beside the water leak clock, picked up the drumstick and beat the watch drum heavily, shouting, Yinzheng, dawn.
The huge Duke of Yi’s mansion is actually on duty day and night, even in the middle of the night, there are already maids and maids working. Here, Yinzheng’s watch drum sounded, and immediately a personal maid came to Qin Lang’s bed.
"Ah Lang, it's Yinzheng time, please get up and change clothes!"
The maid called several times in succession, waking Qin Lang up like a precise alarm clock.
Qin Lang glanced at the side of the Babu bed that he personally designed in imitation of Ming-style furniture. The Persian Anna who came and waited on her last night has already left. These are all the rules of the inner court that Yuxiao learned from the Cui family in Qinrenfang. The concubines Usually bedtime is arranged in turn, Yu Xiao will tell Qin Lang at dinner, if Qin Lang thinks it's okay, he will often give this concubine a gift after dinner, it may be a snack, or a plate of fruit, Or like jewelry, clothing and so on.
This is equivalent to a hint.
The concubine who received the reward went directly to Qin Lang's room to spend the night. But Yuxiao made another rule that even if this concubine came to serve, she had to leave no later than three o'clock at the latest, so as not to affect Qin Lang's rest.
Qin Lang actually felt that the rules that Yuxiao and Cui had learned were very unreasonable. After a cloud and rain, the two of them would be gentle afterwards, and then fall asleep in each other's arms. The government must have rules, just like those famous gentry.
He also said that Qin Lang worked hard day and night, even though he was still young, he couldn't be too harsh, lest he hurt his body.
Rubbing his eyes, the beauty from last night is no longer there, and there is still some smell of the perfume that Roman beauties like to use in the bed.
Silla maid came to help him get up.
Qin Lang looked at this tender and delicate maidservant, but felt the revival of the giant dragon. It was hard for him to be young at such a young age.
Couldn't help but reached out and touched the maidservant of Silla, which made her blush, and half pushed and half agreed.
Qin Lang got angry, and was about to get her done, but the leopard head came outside, looked at them curiously at the door, and snorted, and then a few maids from the outside came outside to say hello a little uneasy.
Qin Lang's interest was ruined, so he had no choice but to let go of his devil's claws. The maidservant of Silla blushed like blood, but a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
Picking off the quilt, he went over to say hello to the leopard head, rubbed its horse face, and then Qin Lang went to the bathroom in the suite.
The toilet has already been prepared, and a thick layer of incense ash is spread under the toilet, with a faint scent of sandalwood, and the incense sticks have been ignited in the room.
In the tray on one side, there is even a plate of jujubes, which are small in size, but they can just block the two nostrils.
These are the luxurious enjoyment of the legendary noble family, and now they are being copied bit by bit by the master Yu Xiao. Qin Lang didn't approve of excessive luxury, but he didn't deliberately ask for simplicity. The Qin family has this condition, and proper enjoyment is also the driving force of life.
Don’t people pursue a better and more comfortable life?
After leaving the ceremony, Qin Lang picked up a roll of grass paper, which is an important product of the Qin family's paper mill. The paper made of grass is not used for writing, but for wiping buttocks. He also specially named this paper " Breeze brand.
After using the bamboo chips for the toilet for a long time, Qin Lang felt that this was the most useful change to use this soft toilet paper. The Qin family's Qingfeng straw paper is also popular in Chang'an now, and it is said that even the imperial palace has purchased Qingfeng in an all-round way.
Although it is said that ordinary civilians still cannot enjoy paper to wipe their buttocks, at least a small number of people have already used straw paper first.
Pure natural primary color straw paper, yellow and yellow, not as white as later generations, but it is never mixed with fluorescent agent or anything, of course, it is far less soft than later generations of paper.
But it is still quite advanced.
After finishing the work, take a shower first, then wash your face and brush your teeth.
I have to say that I was a little sleepy at first, but after a hot bath, I felt refreshed and fully recovered.
Come out, the close-fitting Silla maid has instructed several second-class maids to bring in the ironed clothes. The clothes are neat and warm, and they are very comfortable to wear, especially in this winter.
Clothes, boots and socks, hats, belts, these maidservants are responsible for Qin Lang's dressing in the mansion, they are very dedicated and professional, their movements are gentle and quick, and after a while, Qin Lang is already neat and tidy.
Looking at the full-length bronze mirror, um, he is handsome, and even a bit rich and imposing. After all, Qin Lang, who is only eighteen years old this year, is already a Diao Chan crown, a nine-ringed jade belt, and a purple-robed goldfish.
Maochu, five o'clock in the morning.
Qin Lang washed and dressed, and the kitchen over there had already prepared breakfast and sent it to the dining room.
In Duke Yi's mansion, breakfast time is also the time when concubines, righteous children, etc. in the mansion come to greet Qin Lang, and later on, the stewards of the mansion come to say hello.
The breakfast is very attentive. It changes every day without repetition, and the taste is good.
Today’s seafood porridge is plain and very ordinary, noodles boiled with abalone, sea cucumber and big crab.
Qin Lang's breakfast time is only a quarter of an hour.
While eating breakfast, he asked about Yuxiao Yuxuanji and Anna, and teased his son Qin Jun, and his foster son Cunxiao Cunyi also reported on his homework.
In today's restaurant, there are still Luo Tong, Pei Xingjian, Qin Yong, etc., eating and chatting, but it's quite relaxing.
After eating the seafood, the kitchen served fruit snacks.
Today's Duke Yi's family has a big business, so to maintain such a big family business, it is impossible to rely on Qin Lang alone, and Qin Lang is not that kind of hardworking person.
According to the company management method of later generations, he established a large management team. Some are in charge of the farm outside, some are in charge of the breeding farm, some are in charge of the business name, some are in charge of the workshop, some are in charge of the entire financial affairs, and some are in charge of auditing. There are also those who are in charge of the family.
In addition, he also has a group of assistants who are responsible for connecting with the major managers outside.
In general, this system is in operation, so that Qin Lang can keep abreast of the trends of the Qin family's various industries at any time, and avoid wasting too much energy on him.
"Everyone, try today's seafood porridge, it's very fresh, and the oranges from the south of the Yangtze River are also very sweet."
On the long dining table, the women of the family had already retired, and the stewards sat down in order of their positions. The maid prepared a breakfast and fruit for each of them.
Qin Lang only had a quarter of an hour to give them a routine briefing.
Before coming, every manager or assistant has already made sufficient preparations. Everyone only has a few words. Unless there is something important, there is not much time for them, and they are not allowed to chatter there. , Qin Lang would not reuse such unreasonable management.
Today's breakfast will still end in a quarter of an hour.
The stewards resigned and left.
Qin Lang also finished his breakfast.
Ah Huang reminded Qin Lang, "It's getting late, do you want to go to the East Palace?"
Qin Lang shook his head, "Today is a ten-day holiday, I won't work overtime, let's rest at home."
Someone brought the leopard's head, Qin Lang changed his clothes and went to shoot arrows on horseback.
A Huang accompanied him, and began to report confidential news to Qin Lang. A Huang was Qin Lang's most trusted person, so he also had a special team, just like the court's governor Bai Qisi, A Huang He is also responsible for secretly investigating and monitoring the situation in the mansion, including the manor workshops and shops outside.
"Liu Er, the shopkeeper of the BMW car dealership, took a new concubine, and his wife and brother booked a six-acre house in Huaiyuanfang with full payment..."
"I remember this old Liu was very careful in his work. Why, is he also corrupt?" Qin Lang shot an arrow and hit the moving rake.
"Gone with the wind, our BMW dealership is very busy with orders now. Many dealers are queuing up outside the dealership with money in horse-drawn carriages. In order to pick up the car earlier, they are willing to pay the people in the dealership. At first, Old Liu didn't mind it. I can't bear it, but I can't stand the fact that there are so many people giving money, the more money I give, the more money I give."
Qin Lang snorted coldly, "I didn't just give Lao Liu a salary, but I also gave him stock. The car business is so popular now, and it makes a lot of profit in a year. His stock can also get a lot of dividends, right?"
"The dividends are quite a lot, but there is also a lot of money given away for free. Who thinks there is too much money?"
Qin Lang shook his head.
"Check it out, get the evidence, and then report it internally, let Lao Liu spit out the embezzled money, and then take back his car dealership."
"Transfer him to Lingnan, and arrange him to be a small steward at the Guangzhou Shipyard."
Ah Huang was a little surprised by Qin Lang's handling, "This guy has a lot of greed, why not hand it over to the government directly, this is stealing the owner's property, and the amount is also large, you can definitely get him exiled."
"I think he is also an old man in a car dealership, and this is a first-time offender, so give him a chance."
Ah Huang went on to report, saying that a recent secret investigation found that several workshops had stewards secretly deducting workers' wages for self-sufficiency, and procurement stewards used their positions to embezzle money and ask for kickbacks, etc.
"Fire all these guys, and let them spit out all the greedy swallows, and then hand them over to the government for disposal. At the same time, notify the colleagues, let everyone be careful of these guys, and don't hire them lightly."
A veteran of the car dealership like Lao Liu, he still has some credit, and he can give him a chance, but Qin Lang is not polite to these guys who deduct workers' wages.
"Comprehensive internal notification, so that all units can strengthen self-reflection."
After the morning exercise, Qin Lang also learned a lot of important monitoring information from Ah Huang. He went to take a shower and change clothes. Qin Lang didn't have to go to court or go to the East Palace.
He went to the study.
Start to study in the study at six o'clock, read for an hour, and have breakfast.
After the meal, I played with my son for a while, and chatted with the women at home for a while, and continued to deal with business at nine o'clock, but it was not reading.
Instead, he began to discuss matters with the important management team in the mansion.
This is actually similar to the model in the imperial court. This kind of discussion is similar to the court discussion that Li Shimin often engages in.
Because Qin Lang is usually very busy, there is usually a fixed agenda during the ten-week break. This discussion is equivalent to the central decision-making of the Qin Group.
"There is an important piece of news. In the next two to three years, the north may be affected by the cold current. Therefore, we need to start planning to the south. The imperial court is now going all out to start Lingnan. This is good news. We have to keep up with the big government. .”
As the head of the family, Qin Lang is like the captain of a ship, what he needs is to indicate the direction of sailing.
"Jiaozhou builds a sugar factory and a shipyard, Guangzhou builds an iron factory, and Hangzhou builds a weaving factory...Wherever the wind blows, we will move in that direction. We must ride the wind and not go against the trend... ..."
All the stewards listened carefully.
