Han Xiao saw that it was still early and the young master had taken another nap and was probably a little hungry. He didn't feel like continuing to shop around, so the two of them simply went home.
The young master originally came out this time to watch the play. Now he is very satisfied with it and has no dissatisfaction with Han Xiao's decision. He will do anything as long as he can be with Han Xiao.
He also knew that Han Xiao would have a lot of things to deal with when he first arrived in Beijing, but Han Xiao now put the young master first, so the young master would also understand Han Xiao and let him do his own thing.
After returning to the Han family, the young master went downstairs to rest while Han Xiao went to the study to sort out the matters that had accumulated previously.
Xing Yi has done most of what he can do, but some things can only be handled by Han Xiao personally.
The main store of Qiwuju has moved to the capital, and the store is still under renovation. The store is much larger than the one in Qingping Town, and of course the rent is also not cheap.
But these are totally worth it for Han Xiao. When he was in Qingping Town, the things in Qiwuju were hard to come by, which attracted a lot of people to scramble for them, and then they were sold at a high price second-hand.
Han Xiao also lamented that no matter what era, scalpers are always there.
Moving to the capital is a step up for Qiwuju. As the emperor lives in the capital, there will be more wealthy people there. What's more, Qiwuju's things will never have trouble selling.
Looking at the amount on the account, Han Xiao curled his lips for a rare moment, signed his name on it, and handed it to Xing Yi: "Let's do it according to the original plan. Just keep an eye on Qingping Town. The transportation of goods may be a little difficult now. When the time comes, have Lao Liu make some more finished products as a backup."
"Okay, I understand."
Han Xiao rubbed his eyes and continued, "You need to train someone to help you as soon as possible. I won't ask about these matters. You can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't affect the progress."
Xing Yi nodded: "I know, don't worry about it, sir."
Now Xing Yi is no longer Han Xiao's little follower, but Han Xiao's right-hand man. Most of the things are done by Xing Yi on behalf of Han Xiao.
Most of the glassware shipped from Qingping Town this time were broken, which made Xing Yi very sad. Each of these glassware can be sold at a high price. They have been on the road for too long and the road conditions are not very good, so this kind of problem is very likely to occur.
This time, Xing Yi came to discuss this issue with Han Xiao. In his opinion, it would be better to move the kiln factory directly to the capital. This would not only reduce the loss of goods, but also save a lot of time.
Han Xiao didn't think so, because he knew that Lao Liu might not be willing to come to the capital, and there were many people in the capital and there were nagging eyes everywhere. Moving here would attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
Besides, Han Xiao can solve the road problem.
Han Xiao had this idea a long time ago, and it was just right that Xing Yi brought it up this time. He just had to look for something. The saying "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads" has been circulating in Han Xiao's mind since he was a child.
As China is a country obsessed with infrastructure, how could it be possible that it is short of something like cement?
Ancient city walls were mostly made of rammed earth, sand and gravel with glutinous rice mortar, which is much inferior to modern cement.
So Han Xiao had an idea, which could benefit the local people. He planned to make cement, which could not only be used to build roads, but also help Chu Jinglin increase his sales. It could also be considered a gift to his brother-in-law.
The raw materials for making cement were given to Xing Yi and he was asked to find them as soon as possible. He also had to hurry up. The weather was not very cold now and the project could still be completed for a while. If he waited any longer, he would have to wait until next year.
Xing Yi saw the things on the paper. Although he didn't know what Han Xiao wanted these things for, he would look for them no matter what it was, because he knew that every time Han Xiao wrote a prescription, it meant he was going to do something big.
It was already dark when Han Xiao and Xing Yi finished their work. Xing Yi went out to do some business. Han Xiao thought that since he had already arrived in the capital, he should go visit Mr. Qinghe.
Han Mingyuan didn't mention Han Xiao these two days, so I didn't ask. I might as well ask him during dinner tonight.
When it’s time to eat dinner, the family still eats together. It’s more lively with more people. The whole family takes good care of the young master, so now all the meals in the Han family are in line with the young master’s taste.
Han Xiao's teeth were sore from eating. After finishing his meal, Han Xiao found Han Mingyuan and asked, "Dad, we have been here for two days. Don't we need to go to Grandpa's house?"
Han Mingyuan said while reading a book: "Your grandfather is not here these days, wait until he comes back before going."
Han Xiao really didn't know this, but looking at Han Mingyuan's reaction, he knew that Mr. Qinghe must have sent someone to tell him in advance.
Han Xiao picked up a book by Han Mingyuan at random. It was full of policy essays, the Four Books and the Five Classics. Han Xiao couldn't understand it at all, so he flipped through two pages and put it down.
Seeing Han Xiao's expression, Han Mingyuan was furious: "You are my son after all, how come you don't like studying so much? I was already a scholar when I was your age."
Han Xiao shrugged and said casually, "Well, I'm like my mother. I just don't have the talent for studying. Dad, you should train Han Que. He's still a little bit young, so maybe there's still hope."
Speaking of Han Que, Han Mingyuan became even angrier. Han Xiao could at least read and write, but Han Que was a complete fool. He acted as if he wanted to kill him when he wrote a big character. He had studied in Qingping Town for a year and had learned nothing but forming cliques.
He has not been well behaved since arriving in Beijing. Two days ago, he even climbed over the wall to play in the mud with the neighbor's children. The neighbor's parents came to Han Mingyuan to complain.
He no longer had any hope for Han Que. Han Yuer had been well-behaved since she was a child, so Han Mingyuan had recently taken time to teach Han Yuer.
Seeing that Han Mingyuan was about to start nagging again, Han Xiao quickly raised his hand and said, "Dad, I'm going to look for Ruanruan. He ate a lot at dinner today, so I'll take him out for a walk. The Spring Examination is still a few months away. Dad, you must study hard and make progress every day. If you can get the top scorer for your son, he will be proud of it."
Listening to Han Xiao's increasingly nonsensical words, Han Mingyuan skillfully found something and threw it over.
Han Xiao turned around and ran away, still feeling scared. This was really his father. He would hit people without any hesitation. How could a scholar be so violent?
After Han Xiao left, Han Mingyuan sat on the chair, shook his head and laughed. His son had such high expectations of him, so he had to work hard.
Isn't it just a top scholar? It's not like he can't do it!
Han Xiao's good mood lasted until he met the young master. When he saw the young master, Han Xiao's face turned dark.
"What are you doing?"
