The servants in the palace were the first to see the bicycle.
He looked at his princess riding a weird thing with two wheels around the house alone, going quite fast.
The simply renovated shop finally came in handy.
New bicycles are displayed in the shop.
Wen Jinhe also specially arranged for ten people to ride bicycles around the capital, handing out leaflets while riding.
The appearance of novelty attracted people's attention, and the bicycle shop was quickly filled with people.
A bicycle costs 50 taels of silver. It is sold in the store for 500 taels of silver each, and a pump costs 100 taels of silver.
Although the high price has deterred some people, demand still exceeds supply.
In less than an hour, all the finished goods were gone.
There is a sign on the door of the store that it is sold out, will open tomorrow morning, and is for sale in limited quantities.
Many guests who heard the news late at night asked anxiously at the door.
The daily output of the blacksmith shop is limited, and the craftsmen can only make twenty vehicles continuously.
There is no inventory, so we can only sell while manufacturing.
By the time of the regular meeting at the beginning of the month, the five shopkeepers came to the door on time with their account books.
Butler Li was the first to start. At the end of last month, Li Junche's salary and profits from the shops and farms under his name were delivered to the palace, totaling 1,500 taels of silver. Now, there are 85 million taels of silver left in the palace's account.
The owner of Yunxi Restaurant handed over the account book and talked eloquently, "After the restaurant opened, it was open for 12 days last month, and the account was 2,560 taels. After excluding various costs of 600 taels, the total profit was 1,900 taels." Sixty taels.”
Next, the shopkeepers from the West took turns to come forward.
The most profitable business last month was the bicycle shop. Although it was only open for five days, its profit reached 50,000 taels.
After hearing the end, Butler Li's back was bent, his head lowered and he said nothing.
The difference was so big that he had no face to see anyone.
But Wen Jinhe still refused to let him go.
"The five of you have worked hard last month. The ordinary clerks are each given one tael of silver as an extra reward, and the shopkeepers are each given 10 taels. In addition, the money has to be processed. Starting from this month, the monthly silver will be increased by one tael for each person."
If you want employees to be motivated to obey, appropriate compensation incentives are necessary.
As a worker for many years, Wen Jinhe knows this very well.
When Butler Li left, he could see the smiles on the faces of the five shopkeepers.
Not long after, Wen Jinhe gave another reward to the servants in the backyard.
So some servants from the front yard came to ask Butler Li if they had any.
Butler Li said helplessly: "That is the private property of the princess."
Everyone had to leave disappointed.
The news that the monthly income of the shop assistants under the princess's name had increased was known to everyone in the palace, and some people began to feel unbalanced.
One by one, they wandered around the backyard, hoping to be noticed by Wen Jinhe.
When she met the seventh servant with an ugly face, Man Qiu still looked normal when she saw her princess.
It seems that the time for the princess to speak has not yet come.
Wen Jinhe was waiting for an opportunity.
The farms and shops in Prince Che's Mansion are old and filled with old people.
In addition, Butler Li is not proficient in merchants, which makes them unmotivated and just want food and clothing.
When Wen Jinhe took over the stewardship of the palace, if she was the first to take over the transformation, those people might not necessarily listen to her.
Creating opportunities, breaking the balance, conquering with strength, and being driven by interests is the best strategy.
Li Junche stayed in the military camp for seven days before returning home.
Butler Li immediately found the study room and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen's birthday gift has not been prepared yet. The Princess wants to know what you mean."
Li Junche frowned a little tiredly, "Go to the princess and give her whatever she says."
Butler Li nodded immediately, turned around, left the study and walked towards the backyard.
Li Junche hesitated for a moment and then stood up and left the study.
Wen Jinhe was testing vegetables. A new batch of vegetables from the farm were on the market. The restaurant's chef had never seen them before and didn't know how to prepare them.
Wen Jinhe took turns calling people to the palace to try it out.
"Your Majesty asked me to arrange it?" The queen is not Li Junche's biological mother, so there is no need to worry about it. The main thing is that the price is right.
Butler Li admitted, "Yes, that's what the prince just ordered."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Jinhe saw Li Junche walking in from outside the hospital. He hadn't seen him for a few days and seemed to have changed.
"Whatever is left in the warehouse is a gift from the emperor. It is not easy to transfer it to the queen. You can take people out to buy it." Li Junche looked at the dishes on the table, but he didn't recognize any of them.
Upon seeing this, Man Dong immediately handed over the bowls and chopsticks.
After trying a few things, Li Junche couldn't help but praise, "No wonder Murong Nie said that Yunxi Restaurant's business is good and the taste is better than before."
Wen Jinhe stretched out his hand to touch Li Junche's chin. The roughness of his beard must have been gone after these days of absence, "The military camp is very busy?"
"The Ministry of War is recruiting troops and is busy training." Li Junche felt the touch on his chin. For the first time, he did not retreat. Instead, he stood there and let Wen Jinhe touch him.
When washing up at night, Li Junche looked at his face in the mirror, picked up the knife and started shaving.
Unexpectedly, Wen Jinhe suddenly barged in at this moment, "I'm here to help the prince."
The shirtless man was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.
Let Wen Jinhe take the knife, stare at his face seriously and start to move.
The bronzed skin began to turn red, and the strong chest muscles undulated slightly with the heartbeat.
Li Junche remained motionless, with all the beard on his face shaved off.
Wen Jinhe put the knife on the table and slowly approached Li Junche's face.
The two people who are close can feel each other's breathing and heartbeat.
"The prince has a good figure." Wen Jinhe's right hand went along the arm and put it on Li Junche's neck, crossing the collarbone and gradually going down.
When the atmosphere was getting thicker, a servant carrying a bucket suddenly came in and stared at the two people standing together in a daze.
Li Junche hurriedly pushed Wen Jinhe away and said in a panic: "You can go out after you have shaved your beard."
Wen Jinhe turned his head and glared at the two servants angrily. What a great opportunity.
The servant carrying the bucket lowered his head and did not dare to look again.
When Wen Jinhe left the bathroom for the first time, Li Junche leaned against the table with his body feeling a little limp.
The servants quickly poured hot water into the tub and left in a hurry. If they had known this, they would not have come in.
Disturbing the good things of the prince and princess.
Li Junche sat in the bathtub, feeling hotter than hot water.
When we had breakfast together the next day, Wen Jinhe said, "Today I want to go out to choose a birthday gift for the Queen, please come with me, Your Majesty."
Li Junche wanted to refuse, but looked up and saw Wen Jinhe's threatening eyes, "Okay."
Sitting in the carriage, Li Junche found someone riding a bicycle much faster than the carriage.
He asked Zhao Bi, "What is that?"
Zhao Bi glanced at Wen Jinhe through the car window and deliberately lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, that's a bicycle. It was designed by the princess and made by the blacksmith shop and the rubber workshop. It has become very popular in the capital recently."
Li Junche leaves early every day and returns late every day, and has been away from the capital for seven or eight consecutive days. This is the first time he has seen someone riding on the street.
