Chapter 164 Money(1/2)
The incident in the court did not extinguish the desire of the imperial family to make money. The reputation of the royal family is still very reliable. The three hundred kilograms of toilet water borrowed on credit in October were repaid in the twelfth lunar month. According to the request of the fourth child, all payments were made in cash.
Cash brought in by several horse-drawn carriages.
The terrifying size and weight made Accountant Hu feel stupid sitting among the piles of money. In order to keep a low profile, Ying was determined not to let the servants get their hands on it. She dragged her thin little body and walked with me between the back house and the treasury. I showed up.
I had a slight hallucination, as if I was promoted to the governor of the central bank or relegated to a porter. When I returned to the warehouse, I was the governor, and when I left the warehouse, I was a porter. The roles were swapped so quickly that I was swapped no less than twenty times throughout the day.
I am as strong as a turtle after eating it. Exercise is good, especially this kind of special exercise. It not only exercises the body, but also cultivates the sentiment. I am still very powerful at the end of the day. It seems that it is not physical strength that is consumed. I look at the loaded and unloaded copper coins with endless interest.
, if possible
If possible, I would rather redo the work once and volunteer. Yingze was like a giant Buddha, covered with golden light. She could not look directly at her. She sat cross-legged on the kang and entered meditation. I placed a long-necked bottle next to her and inserted a branch into it.
The wintersweet is placed, and the overall shape is like Guanyin descending to earth.
Now that I can't talk and need to be quiet, both of them are reminiscing about the process. Any disturbing behavior is regarded as heresy and cannot be forgiven. So, when I came back from get off work, the two girls who didn't know what was going on were first spanked three times by me on the buttocks, and then they were beaten by me. Ying was dragged to the kang, covered with a quilt and kicked several times, and then the god-making movement came to an end.
"Have you thought about it?" I shook Ying, who was about to enter a meditative state again, and asked her to return. "You have intercepted the money of both families. Please explain it to me. Are you the fourth child to be fooled?"
"Save it for now," Ying said without caring. She dragged the two girls who were pretending to be dead out of the bed and held them in her arms like dolls. "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to her. I just gave her the money for the next batch of goods."
, don’t send it to our house. Out of sight, out of mind.”
"That's not true." I shook my head helplessly, as the concept of economics in the 21st century was still vague. "Before dividends are distributed, this money can only be regarded as public property. Even though we are relatives, we cannot break the rules.
If you block the flow, she will block the flow too, so can our workshop still be open?"
Ying patted her head, gradually came to her senses, and pushed the two girls in her arms angrily, "Husband, too, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's all been put into the warehouse and accounted for. It hurts to take it out again."
"Hey," I embarrassedly hugged the two precarious girls, "I forgot, my mind is all about money, and I have lost justice a long time ago." I declined and said, "The same goes for Accountant Hu. I didn't even mention it as a reminder. It's so big.
You are so old, you don’t even understand the truth, it’s too much.”
"Public property belongs to the public." Ying felt lonely for a while, flipping through the ledger a few more times, making up her mind, closing her eyes, snapping the ledger shut, and throwing it to the two girls, "Take it away,
Take it away and send it to Hu Accountant. Let him record it in the big account!" Suddenly he came back to his senses, "Where is the princess? She brought someone to escort her here in the morning, don't be rude. Go and have a look!"
What are you looking at? I just remembered that someone gave me money. It's too late. When I rushed to the study, Lan Ling had already left. On a large piece of paper on the desk, suddenly a big pig's head was grinning with a big mouth. The ink had already dried.
It’s thorough. Lanling’s calligraphy. Although it’s still imitating me, I can’t learn it well enough.
. But there is already a bit of a resemblance. Haha, it’s okay. At least Lanling is not angry about this. The pig head is very cartoonish and has a peaceful expression, which shows that she was in a happy mood when painting. It must be framed and hung well for future generations.
Everyone appreciates the handwriting of the majestic Princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Money is indeed a good thing, representing purity, harmony, and love. Sometimes it can even be used to treat illnesses. It can cure all diseases at a glance and turn a sick man into a martial arts master in an instant. Hu Accountant is a typical example.
The two girls returned after delivering the account books and reported that accountant Hu was practicing martial arts in his courtyard. The weapon was a big shovel. The Korean concubine had fled in fear and was hiding in Dalai's house speaking a foreign language.
Accountant Hu has a reason to be angry. He knows how much dividends he can get at the end of the year. Between the two workshops and the Wang family, he has to account for all the money that others have earned in a lifetime. This means that at the end of the year
Well, a lot of money is at your fingertips. People who practice martial arts have good control. It's not surprising that they even get married if they let others go.
"I can have a good year." I sighed and walked alone in the yard, stretched out my arms and stretched my muscles. Life is like a dream. At this time last year, I didn't expect that there would be so many changes in front of me, except for the stars in the sky.
, everything has changed. As I struggled with my arms, the door of the back house opened with a creak. Let some air flow, let the joyous atmosphere in the yard flow, and feel it all. I am a generous person.
Leaning against the door, feeling the cold winter night, a buzzing sound came along with the fresh, dry air. The sound of the spinning wheel is the one I am most familiar with, coming from the room next to the backyard, Dalai's
Residence. The cotton has long been spun into thread, and the thread has been woven into cloth. The cloth samples have been taken away by Lanling, and even rewards from the court have been issued. Is there anything left to spin in Dalai?
Unable to suppress her curiosity, she pushed open the small door of Dalai's room. She and the concubine from the Hu Accountant's office were sitting on the kang, playing with the spinning wheel in the air. I had specially set up the kang in Dalai's room, for fear that she would be weak.
, can’t survive the winter, and a small kang costs nothing,
Even before winter, the housekeeper and the accountant in the courtyard imitated me and sat on the hot kang. It was much warmer after all. Dalai was startled when he saw me coming in. He quickly lowered his head and knelt on the kang to wait for me to lecture, while Hu accountant's concubine panicked and walked away.
After a few rituals, he ran away barefoot without even having time to put on his shoes.
Why are you running! What the hell? I am now famous as Wang Dashan. The servants in the house greet me cheerfully when they see me. Only these two heartless Korean female ghosts are either hiding or escaping.
Just kowtow and beg for mercy, which makes me very passive. I changed my face
Look at the super friendly smiling face, "Spinning wheel, not bad! If you have a hobby, you should study hard and practice more." Can't you tell, he was once a noble nobleman, and he can adapt to the life of the working people so quickly. Yes, proletarian
Class transformation has achieved initial results.
Dalai likes cotton and work related to cotton. I discovered this when picking cotton seeds. She is much more efficient than others. This time, she spun almost all the cotton thread alone, fearing that she would be sick due to overwork.
, and also specially ordered the kitchen to increase the nutrition, and imitated the second daughter's meal and also added an extra serving for her.
Ying likes hard-working people the most, and the hard-working Dalai is favored by Ying. If she takes care of her from time to time, at least she no longer has to be oppressed by the second daughter. I want to praise the second daughter for this. Since the crickets all passed away, I specially entrusted
I brought her a good one
The dog came back, with long legs, thin waist, and dexterous movements. He was deeply loved by the two girls, and now he takes it with him even to work. The love of the little girl is getting stronger day by day, and I feel jealous occasionally. Dalai has lived a peaceful life since then.
The days and complexion are much better than before.
"Yes." Dalai still bowed his head and knelt down, answering politely, not daring to say another word. He closed his hands and secretly pulled his belt into a tight knot, and tugged hard.
"Take good care of your health. Working too hard is bad for your condition. This time you have made great achievements in spinning. You will be rewarded in the new year." The atmosphere was dull, and the foreign guests were too nervous to let go. "Okay, let's rest quickly. I won't disturb you anymore." Stinky girl
.Who do you think I am? Do you think I'm carrying out a night attack? Hehe, take off your belt slowly. It's fun if you need to go to the toilet in a hurry. I won't hold you back to death.
"I can't sleep. Husband, please hold me for a while longer." Ying still stayed in my bed and refused to get out. She leaned in my arms and felt inexplicably excited. "The two girls are asleep... turn off the lights..."
The second girl clung to my back generously and pretended to sleep, with her eyes closed tightly and her breathing long and gentle, but her little hands were dishonest. She scratched my back gently, hoping that I would drive Ying out of bed.
I winked at Ying and shook my head. Ying understood, reached out and pinched the second girl's buttocks. The second girl couldn't bear the pain, so she giggled, got out of the bed and crawled towards her, her head covered to death.
Don't look at people.
"Come on!" Ying smiled and occupied my space. The hot bed and cotton quilt were so hot and sultry. Ying played with it for a while, then threw her underwear out. Her slender body pressed against my body and teased her. "Today is different.
When I close my eyes, my heart feels numb like a horse racing, so I feel better just lying in your arms."
"Money is too much." His fingers danced on Ying's body. After hugging Ying, he felt at ease. God couldn't care less if he touched his legitimate mother-in-law. "This is the beginning, and there will be more scenes like this in the future." The distillation workshop was put into operation.
Later, the production of toilet water surged sharply. It was beneficial for the royal family to intercept the water, but the market price around Chang'an did not rise.
Due to the impact of mass production, supply is still tight. At the same time, the output of papermaking workshops has increased steadily. After half a year of sales, the new paper has been accepted by the market in terms of quality and price. In addition to merchants in the customs, there are also orders.
Including local tourist merchants in Jiannan, the signs have gradually become louder. There is no need to worry about money in the future.
"Husband, there are more and more poor students living in Zhuangzi. We have to find a way." Ying changed her posture slightly to make it easier for my hands to be more effective. "I said that after the New Year, the provincial examination will be held. This year I will change it.
Many officials have blocked the previous access route, and many have given up the idea of taking the exam. There are only four or five people who want to stay in Zhuangzi and survive, so it's not a big deal."
People who can study in this era have some basic background in their families. They cannot be said to be rich, but at least they don’t have to worry about food and clothing. But wealth is relative. Students from various places are considered wealthy in their hometowns, but it is very different when they arrive in Chang'an. Regional development in this era
Extremely unbalanced, the rich country sucks like a cancer
The gap between the rich and the poor is so huge that it is shocking to squeeze the nutrients from all over the world. The students who seemed to be well-off and well-off in their hometown only discovered the gap when they arrived in Chang'an. Their horizons were broadened and they were tempted by all kinds of things in the colorful world.
, even if there is no hope of taking the exam next year, I still have the idea of settling down.
But students are students after all. They can’t lift their hands or shoulders, and they don’t have any skills. Reading and writing are not as good as a good craft at this time. With a good body, it’s not easy to find a way to survive. Even if I am good at charity, I have no interest in supporting him.
A useless person is nothing, let alone four or five.
"You can stay if you love me, as long as you can support yourself." After the couple has been together for a long time, the passion turns into warmth, and the whispers become more warm. There is no need for too many exaggerated love gestures, everything is so natural.
,easy going.
Ying moaned softly, "Husband, please be gentle, don't quarrel with the two girls. Slowly, talk more, there is a lot of dirty talk today, don't be impatient..."
"Please sir?" Lan Ling was a little surprised, especially since he was still studying in Baidu's kindergarten. This was only available to wealthy families, and was for the benefit of the descendants of his clan.
Lan Ling came to me early in the morning to settle yesterday's accounts, and gave me a smile. Seeing that she had taken revenge, I told her about Ying's idea that came to her after her passion last night. After the merger of Zhuangzi, the craftsmen and manufacturers of the papermaking workshop were added.
There are nearly 400 households selling small businesses. Ying feels that those
The students came all the way to take the exam, but unexpectedly caught up with the imperial purge. The students who took the wrong path were really pitiful, helpless and without a future. They decided to follow Princess Qi’s family’s method and give the children of the clan a child.
Learn it. Invite students who don’t want to go home to be teachers.
The Wang family doesn't have much of a clan, but the scale of Zhuangzi is growing day by day. Although the papermaking workshop is a craftsman from Lanling, since he lives in Wangjiazhuang, he is considered a member of the village. Ying also has the idea of building a foundation, and all the people in the village are
Children are also the preparation work force for the Wang family in the future, so that they can start from
I grew up in the light of the Wang family. No matter whether I am successful in the future or not, I will never forget my roots if I am given some favors. As long as the Wang family gives an order, there will always be someone who works hard in the wind and fire to do things that benefit others and myself.
, I won’t object, especially since it doesn’t cost much at all, it’s cost-effective.
"No, no, no." Lan Ling shook his head. "Studying is such a big deal, and how much effort it takes to support a student. If you can provide so much at one time, who will plant your land in the future? This is the beginning. From now on.
The farmers have all learned how to read, but the people are in panic, the land is desolate, and everyone is hungry?"
Lan Ling misunderstood me. I never planned to educate all the descendants of the villagers to become scholars. If it is called a school, it will be called a school. If a child comes over and recognizes two words, it will count as two questions. He has the strength to do it.
When the time comes, I just go home and work hard in the fields. If I want to produce a poet or scholar from here, there is no way.
"You know how to read, do you really want them to go to the 'Hongwen Museum'?" I glanced at Lan Ling with disdain, she was too serious, and did everything in detail to increase the psychological burden. "Write
If you can write your own name and count your toes, then you are a child from a farm family. Of course, you still have a farming family upbringing. Do you think I just made some money and burned the land without knowing what my last name is?"
"Haha..." Lan Ling listened to my explanation, smiled and poked me with his finger, "That's what you said, I really thought you had changed your gender just now." He glanced at me sideways and said with a smile, "Then why not?
I said, don’t discuss things with me about misleading others. You are just trying to put money on your face. Do you think you have good intentions?"
"You can't say that." Lan Ling went too far. I originally wanted to show off my philanthropic face, but she turned me back to my original self like this. I felt a bit embarrassed. "When you opened the papermaking workshop, didn't you also want the scholars of the Tang Dynasty?
If there are more of them, everyone will have access to paper and everyone will be able to read and write!"
To be continued...
