After listening to Zhu Hao's arguments about industry, Zhu Niang frowned slightly: "Xiao Hao, what do you mean... we will continue to dry salt in the future?"
"No more drying salt, drying salt is just a way to make money." Zhu Hao is good at teaching in a step-by-step manner. If you don't want to do this business, then you will find another one. I can create a few of the 360 lines out of thin air.
As a time traveler, there are many ways to make money. At first, drying salt was just a temporary measure.
Now that everything is stable, there are policy risks associated with salt trading, which must be eliminated first as an unstable factor.
Aunt Li suddenly realized: "Is that selling a patent medicine to cure the plague? That medicine is really miraculous, it can cure diseases. Selling such a miracle medicine will not only make a profit, but also gain a good reputation."
Zhu Niang shook her head and said: "The prescription belongs to Mr. Lu, how can we just sell the medicine on his behalf? If we can get the medicine from Mr. Lu, we don't dare to think about it anymore."
Zhu Hao sighed: "Mom, that medicine is very good, but it is extremely troublesome to refine, and it is not effective for everyone. It is prone to... side effects. Even if it only takes one for dozens or even hundreds of people, it needs to be done in large quantities."
Selling will definitely cause problems and harm good people, so the government can't hold them accountable?"
There was no way to explain a series of side effects such as allergic reactions. Anyway, Zhu Niang didn’t start her business by selling medicinal materials, so it was normal to not understand. However, since Zhu Niang was knowledgeable and reasonable, she could understand Zhu Hao’s concerns.
"Mom, aunt, as for what kind of business we are going to do in the future, I won't rush to announce it now, but it will definitely make us earn more than we do now, and the business we do must be the only one in the world."
Zhu Hao's eyebrows were dancing with joy, and his face showed the innocence that a child should have, and he drew a big cake for the two women.
Aunt Li laughed and scolded: "Master Hao, you are just bragging. But with our current wealth, we don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives. Why do we think so much? Madam, right?"
Zhu Niang is also very confident about the future.
After all, it was not that I had no hope for the future when I was at the end of my rope. Now I have a lot of money to support me. Even if I have no power, my life has finally settled down and everything is developing in a good direction.
…
…
The next day, after Zhu Niang sent Zhu Hao to study in the palace, she asked Yu San to drive and personally took the land and house contract and one hundred taels of silver to Zhu's house.
After meeting the Zhu Jia family and putting down the land and house contracts and money, Zhu Niang said goodbye and left.
From the beginning to the end, the Zhu Jia family was not embarrassed, which made Zhu Niang a little uncomfortable... Every time she came here in the past, she felt like she was deep in a dragon's den. Could it be that the Zhu family has changed their gender?
Even Zhu Wanjian, who had been arrogant and domineering in the past, remained silent this time when they met, but his eyes were still a bit vicious.
After Zhu Niang left, Zhu Jiashi saw her son going back to his yard and shouted sharply: "Stop."
Zhu Wanjian looked back at the old lady with an uneasy look on her face: "Mother, is there something wrong?"
Zhu Jiashi said: "Take someone with you to transfer the property to my Zhu family. This time, the third daughter-in-law will sign the deposit to see if the government dares to embarrass you!"
The Zhu family had been criticized by Jing Zhongkuan, the magistrate of Changshou County, for being cowardly. How dare a county magistrate dare to challenge a family of thousands of Jinyiwei families?
Zhu Jia didn't plan to deal with Jing Zhongkuan personally this time. She felt that it would be detrimental to her status, so she simply let her son go. Not only did she want to use Zhu Wanjian's arrogance and domineering to punish Jing Zhongkuan, but she also wanted to give her son another chance.
.
"Can't Mom let someone else do this kind of hard work? That servant named Liu is very diligent... doesn't he have Mom's trust?"
Zhu Wanjian showed an attitude that whoever wanted to go would go, but I wouldn't go anyway.
This is resentment in my heart.
"He still has important errands to do, so go quickly! Otherwise, the family will stop paying for your yard expenses next month." Seeing that her son was rebellious, Zhu Jia's idea was not to ease it, but to suppress it with violence.
Zhu Wanjian became furious when he heard this.
When a mother orders her son to do things, can't she say a few nice words?
Even if you don't give me a good look, you still have to give me a step to step down, right? Now it's better, if you don't give me the step, just threaten it? The yard expenses will stop... Oh no, it seems like it can't be stopped...
Zhu Wanjian has a good temper, but he is soft-hearted. Thinking that his daily expenses have to be paid from the family account, he can only give in when facing the threat of his mother.
"Mom is really showing favor to one. She shows mercy to the woman with a foreign surname from the third family's family, but kills her own son. That woman has more than a hundred taels of silver in her hands. There's nothing you can do about the little one who stays in the palace to work. You can definitely capture the older one.
, look at how this family is jumping around..."
Zhu Wanjian lost his temper and began to express his views on yesterday's events, as if to say, if I had been allowed to come forward yesterday, I would have blocked all their paths.
But he couldn't understand that everything the Zhu family did was for his eldest brother Zhu Wanhong to successfully inherit his father Zhu Mingshan's position as a member of a thousand households, rather than to let his military honors fall by the wayside after Zhu Mingshan's death.
Now Prince Xing's Mansion has extended an olive branch. If the Zhu family persists in embarrassing Zhu Niang's family, it will go against Yuan Zonggao's wishes. The two sides lack a basis for cooperation and mutual benefit. Not only will the Zhu family suffer heavy losses, but they will also face ruthless suppression by Prince Xing's Mansion.
It was too late to cry.
Just take the property back, but take a few women who don't make money and just eat, and imprison them. What's the point?
If, in order to vent their anger, they leave the three families who have cut off their livelihood to fend for themselves, wouldn't it be more effective to relieve their anger if they can't survive and then come back to pray for forgiveness from their family and give them food?
How come this son is just loyal for a moment and doesn't know how to consider the overall situation?
Zhu Jia, who has gone through many trials and tribulations, has a clear understanding of this matter.
Grains
At the moment, it is not important to severely punish Zhu Niang and her son for letting out a bad breath in their chests. It is just right to clear the joints quickly and let Zhu Wanhong escape from the sea of suffering as soon as possible. In this way, the Zhu family no longer has to throw money into the bottomless pit of the capital. This time Prince Xing’s Mansion came forward to make peace.
In exchange for the house and one hundred taels of silver, the Zhu family gained both revenue and expenditure. It can be said that they made a lot of money.
"Go and do your thing. Later, my mother will take Housekeeper Liu to visit Yuan Changshi at Prince Xing's Mansion. If your eldest brother can return to Anlu safely, our Zhu family will have a good chance of Xing! By then... the life and death of the third room will really be that important.
?”
…
…
Before Zhu Jia took Butler Liu to visit Yuan Zonggao, he went to the back hall to meet Jiang Yonghe, who was also worshiping Buddha.
"Is something wrong, mother?"
With a peaceful expression on her face, Jiang Yonghe stood up from the futon where she was kneeling and looked at Zhu Jia.
Zhu Jiashi smiled and said: "Mom has a plan. Your husband will return to Anlu from the capital in the near future to take over his father's position as a guard of thousands of households. Maybe he will also bring back soldiers. You and your wife can finally be reunited."
She told Jiang Yonghe the good news in advance, hoping to make her daughter-in-law, who had lived alone for a long time, happy, and then to test her daughter-in-law's attitude.
At present, the identity of the matron of the Zhu Jia family is based on the fact that Zhu Mingshan has a thousand households in Jinyi. When his son heads the family, the nominal matron will become Jiang Yonghe. Although from the perspective of filial piety and etiquette of this era,
She, the mother-in-law, should still be in charge of the family business.
Jiang Yonghe said: "My daughter-in-law is very happy that my husband is back, but why does my mother always have to make things difficult for the third family member? They are living a very hard life now..."
Seeing her daughter-in-law questioning her mother-in-law, Zhu Jia's face suddenly turned cold: "Back then, when that woman appeared in front of me with a baby in her arms, she didn't strangle him to death. It was the greatest kindness for my mother. How could I still let my mother support her?
Will his family last forever?"
Jiang Yonghe was in a relatively peaceful state of mind and remained calm when things happened, but when he heard Zhu Jiashi's words, he still showed a look of astonishment on his face.
"You are Zhu's sister-in-law. There are some things that I don't need to hide from you. Your husband was already ten years old at the time. He knows very well about this. The second child is young and ignorant... For so many years, the family has strictly kept this secret. The elders in the house thought that the child was for
The child was born when my mother and his father went to Guangxi to fight the rebellion... Little did they know... Huh!"
Although Jiang Yonghe didn't hear everything completely, he had a general understanding.
The child Zhu Jiashi mentioned was not Zhu Hao, but Zhu Hao's father, Zhu Wangong.
One year before Zhu Wangong was born, a peasant uprising broke out in Gutian, Guangxi. Its leader Wei Chaowei led an army to defeat the official army. Guangxi deputy general Ma Jun, counselor Ma Xuan, Qianhu Wang Shan and others were all defeated. The imperial court ordered the governor-general Hu Guangyouduyu
Shi Mingui led the army to put down the rebellion.
Zhu Mingshan was still a member of the Imperial Guard at that time, and was ordered to protect Min Gui personally. In fact, he was closely monitoring Min Gui. The main reason was that the court was worried about the rebellion of the leading ministers.
At that time, Zhu Jia was twenty-five years old. She was proficient in bow and horse and was a heroine. She did not want to be separated from her husband for a long time, so she disguised herself as a disguise and joined the army. Although Zhu Mingshan was not happy, there was nothing he could do. The following year
After the army returned home in triumph, the couple brought a child back to Beijing. Everyone at home thought the child was born to Zhu Jia, but in fact it was the child of Zhu Mingshan and another woman.
Apart from Zhu Mingshan and his wife, only the second-generation eldest brother Zhu Wanhong knew about the matter before, but he never said a word to Jiang Yonghe.
"No wonder."
Jiang Yonghe had a gentle temperament and sighed without shying away from Zhu Jia.
Zhu Jia asked with a straight face: "You think my mother is too mean to their orphans and widowed mothers?"
Jiang Yonghe shook his head: "No, I just feel that everything is cause and effect... It is said that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, but when will it end?"
It sounds like he's talking about Buddhism, but actually he's trying to persuade the mother-in-law that even if the third son is not your legitimate son, he is still your husband's bloodline, right?
It is common for the head of a big family to have three wives and four concubines, so you cannot treat him lightly just because he is not your biological son. Besides, he is dead now, and Zhu Hao is also a descendant of the Zhu family. Do you insist on ruling his family? You are not afraid that the cause and effect will fall on you.
superior?
"We, the Zhu family, finally managed to secure for him the position of Jinyiwei Baihui, but he chose to be loyal to the country. The land and house he acquired later... were taken from the Zhu family and used by the Zhu family. This is the cycle of cause and effect! Follow me.
When it comes to retribution, no one is sure what God will repay in the end!"
Although Zhu Jiashi usually worships Buddha, she is not so awe-inspiring for the way of heaven, and more believes that man can conquer heaven.
Jiang Yonghe knew that he had no right to speak in the Zhu family. He usually watched the internal fighting in the family from afar, so what if he knew the inside story?
It is better to continue to worship the Buddha and not to worry about these dirty things in the family, so as not to pollute the state of mind.
…
…
Inside the palace.
Several children from the former school reunited again.
Zhu Hao, Jinghong, Lu Bing, Zhu San and Zhu Si, the five children plus Gongsun Yi, all had happy smiles on their faces. However, there was another protagonist Tang Yin who was dealing with personal matters that day and had not yet arrived.
"It's great, we can all play Cuju together again! From now on, we don't have to play in this courtyard, we can go to the inner courtyard. I live in a bigger place than here, and it feels better to play Cuju there."
Zhu Si was very excited.
Having something to play is more important than having food and clothing, and spiritual pursuits are what little ones dream of.
Zhu San looked at Gongsun Yi who was looking out the courtyard gate and joked: "Mr. Gongsun, what are you looking at?"
Gongsun Yi turned around with a slightly embarrassed look on his face: "Didn't you say that Tang Bohu would come today? I...hey, I've wanted to visit him for a long time, but now I feel a little uneasy."
