Chapter 3893 Jiu Ye is really capable

   There are some jewelry, pocket watches, perfumes, music boxes, fans, hats, Western canvases, Western oil paintings, Western atlases, small decorations, exquisite toys, etc. that can be enjoyed.

   Mu Jin ordered people to open it and take a look. He liked it very much. He chose a dozen or so to keep, and ordered Yan Yan to take the rest and share them with the palace maids.

   Concubines and children naturally have to share.

  Sisi and Hongzhang have a lot of companions, so there are only a few left.

   However, these are all gadgets, exquisite and exotic, just for fun.

  For example, perfumes are also available in the Qing Dynasty. The country's firm has its own perfume workshop, and there are more than one.

   One of them is a bracelet set with diamonds and rubies. The shape of olive branches and leaves is clever and delicate. Mu Jin specially ordered someone to take it out. This bracelet is very suitable for Sisi, and the little girl will love it.

   When he looked at the tribute list, Mu Jin was really surprised.

   Jiuye brought back a lot of good things from this trip!

  There are no less than hundreds of various gemstone and pearl jewelry. More that has never been inlaid.

   There are also more than ten sets of the whole set, including three sets of diamonds and three crowns set with jewels.

   There are about 30 large-scale self-ringing bells in various shapes, some as high as five stories, almost as tall as an adult man.

  There are also all kinds of gold utensils, fine spices, famous paintings, works of art, medicinal materials, and fabrics. Everything is available.

   She wondered, when the Western Gardens were built in the Yuanmingyuan, did they build a large museum-like place by the way? Used to collect some famous items.

   That's all, just these jewels alone, Mu Jin felt that if they were sold, supporting the various research experiments of the people at the Baigong Academy would be enough to allow them to spend more than five years without any pressure.

   Jiu Ye is really capable!

  The two large ships returned with a full load of various Western goods, and the merchants who had previously registered with Shibosi Yamen took the original vouchers to pick up the goods.

   is all elated.

  Western goods are still very popular in Daqing. In the past, the quantity was very small, and they were often sold out as soon as they were listed. It will take at least several years for this state of scarcity to be basically alleviated.

  After all, ocean trade is not so easy to do. It takes a full year to go to the ship this year and return next year.

   Therefore, the merchants who got this batch of goods do not have to worry about the sales at all.

   And other merchants saw that the court was really going to open sea trade, and they couldn't get the top prize, so they couldn't let go of the next step, and they listed the ship's yamen to inquire.

  There are those who want to buy goods, and there are those who sell their own silk, porcelain, tea and other items.

   The yamen of Shibosi became lively for a while.

   Da Gege is still going to the palace every day to accompany Concubine Qi.

   Not long after returning to Bai's house this afternoon, Mrs. Bai ordered someone to ask Da Gege to speak.

   Da Gege hurried over.

   She is Gege, in the Bai family, she is really treated as a daughter-in-law, not Gege, otherwise Mrs. Bai would go to her in person, where would she send someone to ask her to go there?

   She is generous and has no problem with it.

   Not only has no opinion, but also quite cooperative.

   "Mother, you're looking for me!" Da Gege entered the room and took the initiative to speak with a smile.

   Mrs. Bai didn't expect her to come so quickly, so she hurriedly greeted her to sit down: "Sit down, it's a small matter, I want to ask you what you think."
