In fact, even toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, shower gel, etc., these simple things that are commonly used in later generations can be classified as luxury goods in the current Tang Dynasty, and are not affordable to ordinary people.

As ordinary people, they are just busy with food and clothing, and have not changed much from ancient times to the present. Unless commodities can be produced on a large scale, unless income can be greatly increased.

Relying on farming and odd jobs is always the lowest income group. Maybe, they will be in danger.

Well, it is impossible for Xu Qilin to significantly increase the income of the general public for the time being, but this does not prevent him from becoming a small number of people who became rich first.

After listening to Xu Bao's report, Xu Qilin was very satisfied. The strict rules and regulations and the implementation of the reward and punishment mechanism made the workshop run more and more like a later enterprise.

Although Xu Bao is the general manager, the finance department is under the responsibility of Hu Guanfang, and the deputy supervisors in charge of production, sales and logistics. A mechanism for mutual supervision has been formed, which saves Xu Qilin from working hard for everything.

"Very good. You can make a great contribution to the workshop running so smoothly." Xu Qilin praised again and said generously: "Go to the account to receive a reward of two stalemates. I know you are going to get a marriage, so if you are tight, you will say a word and borrow money from the account first."

Xu Bao hurriedly bowed to thank him, without saying a word, "The young man is today, it depends on Alang to raise him. He took the first payment of his salary and built a house and courtyard on the village. The young man was grateful and could not repay him."

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Well, you will know that you have made progress after listening to this. It is beneficial to know some words, read some books, and contact more people. OK, there is no need to say such polite words in front of me, it is easy to do it. If you have nothing to do, just step down first!"

"Yes, I'll leave." Xu Bao bowed and retreated to the door, then turned around and left, and was extremely humble.

Seeing Xu Bao leaving, Scarlett couldn't help but say, "Alang is too generous, right?"

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Xu Bao is indeed doing a good job and wants to get married. He is rewarded more, which makes him grateful and work harder. The reward and punishment are clear, which is also an important way to open a good workshop."

Scarlett nodded. Since it was Alang who said this, she remembered it with all her heart and regarded it as the golden rule.

Xu Qilin also talked about some business concepts and methods, and stopped until Xiao Zhao ran in.

"Stay quickly and stay for a better time. Don't be too tired of playing." Xu Qilin poured the girl a cup of warm tea and wiped her sweat with a silk towel.

Xiao Zhao picked up the teacup and drank it happily, raised his red face and smiled, "Brother, didn't you say you could still row a boat? Let's go after lunch?"

"I just said don't worry!" Xu Qilin said: "It's so hot in the afternoon. If you want to row, it's better tomorrow morning. In the evening, let's go to the house next to the lotus pond to live."

After pausing, Xu Qilin added: "I just opened the pond to draw water this year, and the lotus is just planted, which is a little worse. The scenery next year should be better. The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus is red in the sun. It is pleasing to the eye!"

Xiao Zhao pursed the corner of her lips, her big eyes curled into a crescent moon, as if she was imagining the beautiful scenery, with a look of longing.

There is a large depression among the hills. After a little trimming and digging, it will lead to water. It will be a small artificial lake of more than ten acres. The depression is exactly the shape of a gourd, so a small wooden bridge is built on the narrow waist. If you don’t want to roam the boat, you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lotus pond when you look down on the bridge.

A small courtyard was built on a high ground dozens of meters away from the lotus pond and a two-story building was built. There were not many houses and the bamboo transplanted around did not grow too high, but it also showed a bit of elegance.

Xiao Zhao really didn't expect that his brother had already built this farm to such a scale, and he didn't know that Xu Qilin had invested nearly half of the profits of Xianglu's business for this.

Under the curtain set by the lotus pond, the barbecue grill has been set up, and the meat skewers are sizzling on the charcoal fire, and the grease falls down, burned by the charcoal fire, emitting a mouth-watering fragrance.

Xiao Zhao sat on the bench swing, quietly looking at the mountains in the distance, as well as the sunset shining and the changing lotus pond, the joyful beating of such an age was missing. I don’t know what he was thinking.

Xu Qilin rode his horse and walked slowly from a distance with Wu Song and others.

After inspecting the workshop, he rewarded the craftsmen and taught the manufacturing of cold soap. He went to see a specially created vegetable field.

According to his explanation, the vegetable field has already grown cabbage, pine vegetables, tower vegetables, and small crabapple vegetables. After a while, turnips will be planted.

This is not because Xu Qilin likes to eat these kinds of vegetables, but because he wants to cultivate a new variety and put a big satellite in the agriculture of the Tang Dynasty.

I don’t know how many years it will take to succeed, but maybe it will always be nothing. Xu Qilin rode on the horse and was still thinking about this problem. But this can only be left to fate, and he didn’t have many ways.

Anyway, it is not a waste of planting it. It grows to eat it, and it just serves vegetables for Zhuangzi and the workshop. Xu Qilin thought so, but he let go of his impatience and entanglement.

When he arrived at the lake, Xu Qilin kicked off his horse and walked to the cloth shed. He found that his younger sister was not as lively as usual, and she didn't even greet him intimately. She couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Sitting on the bench and swing, Xu Qilin looked at the girl's gaze. The scenery was picturesque and the breeze blew, making people unable to help but immerse themselves in it. His heart was quiet and comfortable, and he was really too lazy to talk.

The brother and sister sat there until the sunset was behind the mountain without leaving, leaving only the gorgeous sunset.

Xiao Zhao sighed softly and said quietly: "Those two birds will be given to Sister! In the palace, every day is the sky, those palaces, those flowers and plants are really lonely!"

Xu Qilin glanced at the girl and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that Sister likes to be quiet and doesn't want any noisy birds?"

Xiao Zhao laughed twice, and with a little embarrassed look around her ear, she whispered: "I, I'm lying."

Haha, Xu Qilin reached out and touched the little girl's head, and smiled and said, "Wucai and Li Niang are still yours. I'll send it to me before buying it!"

Xiao Zhao looked at her brother with bright eyes and asked, "Will the birds I buy again be so smart?"

"It should be not much different." Xu Qilin said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this."

After pausing, Xu Qilin asked curiously: "Why do you think of Sister again when you look at the scenery? In fact, if you have personal thoughts, Sister may not think it is not good to be in the palace."

Xiao Zhao said "Hmm" and said, "Anyway, I don't feel free. I remembered the royal words my brother said before, and I only realized it today."
