0549: The Upcoming Change In The Jewelry Industry.
The autumn wind is bleak and the leaves are starting to turn yellow.
It has been a month since Yurafi ascended the throne, and autumn is coming unknowingly.
Qiao Ji was sitting in the study in the courtyard of Xili District, with a large stack of materials in hand.
Since Yurafi ascended the throne, the teenager's work began to increase, and he was busy from morning to night almost every day.
Because Qiao Ji not only has to deal with the affairs of her own territory and property, but also helps the empress manage the affairs of the empire.
Of course, in fact, it is mainly about teaching. After all, it is impossible to help with everything.
In this way, Yurafi is no different from a puppet. Fortunately, the empress is also very smart, and she can learn many things quickly.
"My lord, let's take a rest and have a cup of tea." Xue Nai walked into the study with a tray.
She put the "650" cups of tea on the tray on the desk, and said softly, "My lord has already dealt with it all morning."
"Okay." Qiao Ji stopped writing the pen in his hand.
He picked up a cup of warm tea and took a sip, then asked, "Have the people you cultivated been sent to the palace?"
"It was delivered this morning." Xue Nai nodded lightly.
Before the boy, the white cat girl trained a group of maids to replace all the maids in the palace.
Maids are the most likely to be bribed and betrayed by the nobles. Yurafi has just ascended to the position of empress, so she needs to be cautious in all aspects.
Her Knights of the Guards was in charge of Katerina before, and she is now the chief knight of the Royal Knights.
Qiao Ji was naturally still worried, and arranged for Agnelli to dispatch a group of knights to send to the palace.
"Okay." Qiao Ji put down his teacup and nodded.
The first few months of Yurafi's ascension to the empress position were the most critical time, and he had to be more careful.
"Tap Tat Tat..."
Huawei walked into the study with a wooden box in her hand, and said softly, "The emerald jewelry made by the master has been made."
The girl put a 20cm wooden box on the table, and opened the box to reveal the green jade jewelry.
Huawei returned to the imperial capital from Beigang half a month ago, and brought back a lot of people.
Since the discovery of emerald ore on Silver Tree Island, the workshop has started to conduct research on emerald ore.
Even though they had the pattern given by Qiao Ji, they didn't dare to mess around, after all they also knew the value of jadeite ore.
It took several months to create a batch of good jade jewelry, but it has not been promoted for sale yet.
The batch of emerald jewelry that Hua Wei brings over now is what Qiao Ji intends to give to You Lafei.
"Yes, it looks good." Qiao Ji took out an emerald necklace from the wooden box.
He observed for a while, his mouth slightly raised, and said with satisfaction, "The craftsmanship in the workshop is getting better and better.
The young man still remembered the first jadeite jewelry that the workshop produced. It wasn't bad, but it really didn't look extravagant.
If it weren't for the good raw materials of jadeite, people would not think jadeite is an expensive thing after seeing it.
The reason why Qiao Ji presented Yulafei with emerald jewelry is to create the character of the empress. You can’t just have gold on your body, right?
"Yeah, it's really pretty, and it can well show the identity of the empress." Hua Wei blinked her curled eyelashes and said.
No girl can resist the temptation brought by exquisite jewelry, let alone jewelry made of emerald.
Huawei has an emerald ring, which was also a gift from Qiao Ji. It is a rose flower-shaped emerald ring.
The water for growing jadeite is also very good. It is a rare and good material, and girls are reluctant to wear it.
"By the way, how about the jadeite jewelry made for Eve?" Qiao Ji put the jadeite necklace back into the wooden box.
When the first batch of emerald jewelry was made, he had already sent someone to give a copy to the eldest lady.
The reason why we have to create a new one now is because the jewelry created at that time was not very delicate.
"It's also very fast. It is estimated that it will be built in two days." Hua Wei said immediately.
She was very concerned about the eldest lady's gestures, and would check on the progress every now and then.
The style of Eve's jade jewelry is completely different from that of Yurafi, and there are two styles of jewelry.
Empress Urafi's jewelry mainly tends to be grand and elegant, which is to highlight her identity.
However, Eve's jewelry is mainly for girls, cool and elegant, and it is also in line with her identity.
"Then let's give Eve's jewelry together after it's finished..." Qiao Ji closed the wooden box.
He is a Duan Shui master, if the eldest lady knows, he will give the empress a new batch of jade jewelry first, I'm afraid he will be jealous again.
Of course, if Yurafi found out that Qiao Ji was given to the eldest lady first, she would also be jealous.
There is only a layer of window paper between Qiao Ji and You Lafei now, and the two people can't hide their love for each other.
Naturally, the boy should also pay attention to Yurafi's emotions, and try not to make them jealous of each other.
"Understood, then we already have a lot of stock, are we going to open a store?" Zai Weiwei asked curiously.
"Not for now, wait until Yurafi and Eve wear a new batch of jewelry." Qiao Ji stuck out her index finger and shook it.
He wants to make jadeite exclusive to the royal family and nobles, but it is not yet suitable for promotion to the market.
At that time, after empresses and young ladies wear jadeite, everyone will be very fond of jadeite.
In this way, Qiao Ji can use jadeite as a bargaining chip to make some nobles compromise.
He has too many things to do, and sometimes he wants to introduce some new policies, which is bound to be blocked by some nobles.
At this time, if there is something as good as negotiating, many things will get twice the result with half the effort.
Hua Wei nodded thoughtfully, and said softly, "I see, by the way, my lord, the caravans that went to the Cyphilosanthes archipelago have all returned. 5.1"
"How's the situation?" Qiao Ji asked with her thick eyebrows raised.
"They all asked us to increase the volume of goods, so they were willing to sell the grain emperor to us." Zai Wei frowned slightly.
Qiao Ji rubbed her chin with one hand, thought for a moment and asked, "How much food do we have?"
"If it's harvested in autumn, it's not enough to have 500 million catties of grain." Hua Wei shook her head.
Since the war has just ended for more than a month, food for the refugees still needs to be subsidized, but they are working for the empire in exchange for food.
"Then increase the amount of goods and buy more food." Qiao Ji said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Hua Wei replied softly.
