Of course Xu Yunjin knew how important salt was in this dynasty, so she didn't dare to be careless at all.
If the villagers were to talk too much, the risk of spreading the word would be too great. Xu Yunjin took a can of soy sauce from the farm, put a little soy sauce into everyone's bowl, and asked them to mix it with rice to taste.
Xu Yunqing was the fastest to eat rice with soy sauce. When he heard his sister talk about soy sauce, he felt that the burden on him was even heavier.
If I studied and took exams before to help my family live a better life, then the motivation to work hard now comes from the magic of my younger sister.
What if she takes out other things in the future? Will she be able to protect her family? Or should she let her sister protect her from doing those things?
But he knew her well, and he knew that his sister wanted to help but couldn't help the refugees along the way.
If there is something that can make people live a better life, she might still take it out.
But before that, she would weigh whether it would endanger her own safety. For his sister, for his family, and for his own ideal of doing things for the country and the people, he thought that he would make himself stronger faster.
"Grandpa, I support my sister's approach. When we build a house after the new year, we will build a bigger house, and then build a smaller ordinary house next to it. When the tofu workshop slowly starts to develop, and we have a stable income, we can build a house behind the mountain.
After we find a place to build a soy sauce workshop, we will hire people."
Others in the Xu family also expressed their support for Xu Yunjin's arrangement. In fact, they did not have any big ideals and were even a little scared when they heard about the soy sauce incident.
But they also support all decisions made by their family. As long as their family can get better and better neatly, they are not afraid of anything.
"Okay, since everyone in my family believes in me and supports me, I will definitely make the family better and better, let my eldest brother open the ceramics workshop of his dream and marry a good wife, and my sister can be the boss of the embroidery shop and marry a good husband.
Grandma, aunt, and mother-in-law wear new clothes every day. Xiao Xier grows up healthily. Grandpa and uncle have endless amounts of good wine. As for father, brother, and younger brother, you have to fight for your own future. We can't do anything for you.
, I can only support you financially and spiritually.”
Xu Yunjin wanted to cry again. In fact, she didn't have to do this.
As long as she is selfish, runs a small business at home, and lets her grandparents go to the fields and go up the mountains occasionally.
The eldest brother, like an ordinary farm boy, gets married and has children when he is old enough to support his family with his back to the sky.
My sister, Xi'er, is like an ordinary woman who gets married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, takes care of her husband, raises children, and serves her parents-in-law. Then she dies at the age of sixty. She may never leave Jiujiang Fucheng to see the outside world.
The father will be a junior official, and the second brother will be a senior official. The younger brother may not like to study and work hard on his own.
Auntie Auntie Auntie is still living her life as carefully as she did in Nanyun Village, for fear that she will not be able to open the pot tomorrow.
She can be selfish and keep her family as peaceful and peaceful as before in Nanyun Village.
But she couldn't do it. How many people died along the way to escape the famine. She only counted 123 people killed by the bandits. She also knew how many people escaped from the famine to the south with only a few taels of coarse salt.
My eldest brother used to like to work on ceramics and roll in the dirt.
My sister has always liked embroidery. Every time she picks up the needle and touches the cloth, there is a tiny light in her eyes.
How much the second brother loves studying and how talented he is, and how obedient the younger brother is to study and learn martial arts since he said he wanted to be a general.
She knows how leisurely her grandfather and uncle sit in the courtyard drinking in their free time, how happy grandma and the others are when they put on new clothes, and how happy Xiao Xi'er is when she drinks rice cereal. She knows all these.
So no matter who she is for, she should work hard, and their whole family should work hard, just for the life they want.
Listening to Xu Yunjin's heroic words, several women and Xu Yunmeng could not control their tears.
The eyes of several men, big and small, are also red. For their future and for the sake of their parents, wives, children, brothers and future generations, they must work hard and not be afraid of difficulties.
In the family, only Xiao Xi'er in the cradle is ignorant and screaming.
The last meal of the year was spent with such complicated emotions.
After dinner, everyone in the Xu family tidied up together and happily went to watch the night. They would have to make dumplings later.
The 16th day of the first lunar month of the 14th year of Yongle reign of the Daqi Dynasty.
It is advisable to start building a house.
Village Chief Li, no, it’s Mr. Li who had optimistic about the future early in the morning. He started to break ground to build a house after the 1st of the 15th in Shuiluo Village.
After passing the yamen on the seventh day of the lunar month, we went to the yamen. Xu Danian took Xu Wen to the county yamen and assigned an acre of homestead land to each family.
As before, the Xu family bought three acres of land at the end of the village to build their own house, and bought another acres next to it to build a house for others in the future. They still didn't want too many outsiders to disturb their lives.
In addition, each family has bought a few acres of wasteland, and they are waiting to find people to open up the wasteland and plant it after building a house. After the new year, the weather will get warmer, and spring planting will begin.
The drawings of the Xu family's house were drawn by Xu Yunqing. Everyone told Xu Yunqing the house and room layout they wanted and asked Xu Yunqing to draw it.
Xu Yunjin also arranged for a bathroom and toilet to be separated into several rooms where his family lived and several guest rooms he had prepared.
When Xu Yunnan's ceramics workshop opened, she asked Xu Yunnan to make the toilet. She didn't want to pee in the urinal or run out to use the toilet in the middle of the night.
As for drainage, you can go to those workshops now to make some pipes and lay them out.
As long as it is made solidly, there should be no big problem. Of course, this bathroom can only be used for urination, and there is still a toilet outside for defecation.
After Xu Danian decided on the home sites for each family, he went to Village Chief Liu and asked him to find people from the village to build houses.
Except for the Xu family, which needs more manpower, the other families only need seven or eight people, and twenty cents a day does not include food.
This made Village Chief Liu beam with joy, and he quickly promised to find honest and capable experts who often help people build houses.
In the blink of an eye, the house building project has been started for more than ten days, and some houses with few families and small houses are almost completed.
Just waiting for the new furniture and ventilation to be ready for people to live in the house in a few days. The two tasks of repairing the house and making furniture allowed many families in Liujiacun to make money at the beginning of the new year. The relationship between the two villagers immediately became better, but they also had their thoughts.
The unscrupulous people in Liujia Village want to cause trouble.
When Guan Dongyue and Wu Xiuzhu were choosing a place to build their house, they specifically came to ask the Xu family. They wanted to build their house near the Xu family.
The Xu family readily agreed, and the two little girls took care of their half-grown children. It would be better to stay close to them so they could take care of them.
Therefore, when their family was building a house, Xu Wen and Xu Yunqing often went over to keep an eye on it.
But today, both father and son went to Fucheng Academy, and there was no one in their house. That's when trouble came to their door.
There was a villager in Liujia Village named Liu Shitou, who gave birth to a son Liu Laizi.
The original name of Liu Laizi was Liu Dalin. Because he was a very shameless person and his family was full of magic, so everyone in the village called him Liu Laizi, and people from all over the country avoided his family.
Liu Laizi was in his late twenties and had yet to find a wife. He often wandered around the county villages with nothing to do. When he saw the helpless and good-looking Guan Dongyue and Wu Xiuzhu, he had bad thoughts. This chapter has been completed!
