Chapter 2038 The Frugal Harem
At dinner time, the imperial dining room sent a table of food to Fengyi Palace.
When Zhao Yuanjing arrived, he found that Yun Dai had not returned yet.
He looked at Qing Yi and asked: "The Queen...is she still in Yuewu Palace?"
Qing Yi lowered his head and said: "Yes. In the afternoon, some account books were sent from the store. The empress stayed in Yuewu Palace to look at the account books. She also said that there were several new products to be developed and she had to sort them out. She would be back later. "
Nowadays, Yunji Company's products have reached hundreds of varieties.
No matter how busy she is, whenever she launches a new product, Yun Dai must make sure it is qualified before it is allowed to be put on the market.
As for the types of new products, they also cover all types in all aspects of life.
Some were ideas that Yun Dai came up with in a flash, and some were drawings and ideas based on things she had seen and used in her previous life.
Most of the time, she just puts forward her initial ideas and opinions, and sends them all to the workshop for the masters there to study and ponder. Some of them were successfully implemented, while others could not be realized and could only be piled there, turning into a pile of waste paper.
Yun Dai has many fantastic ideas, and the masters in the workshop will definitely not worry about lack of things to develop. They only regretted that they were incapable of making all the magical objects painted by the Queen.
But in general, the workshop has new products developed and launched every month, which makes Yunji's vitality flourish and more attractive than those stores that stick to the rules.
Yundai sets the sixth day of every month as the new product release day.
On the sixth day of every month, a tea party will be held at the headquarters of Yunji Company. The Gu brothers hosted the tea party and invited noble officials and prominent figures from Kyoto to attend.
Slowly, Yunji's new product launch tea party became a grand day that everyone looked forward to in Kyoto.
At the end of each month, people will start to look forward to and guess what products Yunji will release next month.
Yunji's new product has become a symbol and is deeply remembered by the people of Zhou Dynasty.
In the past few years, Yunji has developed rapidly and has become the most powerful store in Dazhou, with its products accounting for half of the market. He is a true business overlord.
As the only owner of Yunji, Yun Dai still reads the account book as usual every month, and when she has nothing to do, she writes and draws with pen and paper to provide ideas for the workshop.
In the past two years, she has accumulated more than three million taels of profit in her private account.
She kept them all and basically never touched them.
The original intention of establishing the company was for Zhao Yuanjing, for the people of Da Zhou, and to subsidize Da Zhou's empty treasury.
At the beginning of spring, when the farmland was reclaimed, Yundai gave half a million silver to the poor people in Northern Qi, so that they could have money to buy seeds, necessary farm tools, and even cattle.
As for herself, she had to be enshrined in the palace and it didn't cost much money.
Today's harem is different from that of the previous dynasty. The late emperor raised hundreds of concubines, all of whom lived luxuriously and extravagantly. The harem alone cost a huge amount of money.
But now that Zhao Yuanjing has few people in his harem, this expense is saved.
Therefore, although Zhao Yuanjing's pampering of the queen is criticized, compared with the period of the late emperor, there is no doubt that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The life of this royal family is really simple and even frugal.
Even those officials who love to spit can't attack the royal family in this area.
Hearing that Yun Dai was working on her new Yunji product again, Zhao Yuanjing said: "No matter how strong you are, you can't even go without food. Qing Yi, go and invite her back."
