Chapter 110: If you eat the emperor's food, you won't worry about getting married!
Hong Gouzi came out of Eunuch Cao's office, sent a few helpers away, and then went straight home.
"Puppy is back? Hurry up and wash your hands. Niang made noodles for you and mixed them with oil residue. Eat yours quickly. It won't taste good when it's cold. I can't even eat a meal after running around all day, but it's made my baby miserable.
." When Hong Gouzi's mother saw her second son coming back, she hurriedly arranged for him to eat. The fire could not be contained in the paper, and Hong Gouzi's business finally let her family know.
After his family found out, the consequence was that the money he earned every day had to be handed over to adults for safekeeping, and he lost his financial freedom. However, this also had advantages. His status at home increased rapidly, and his parents regarded him as an adult.
His words began to gain weight.
Can it be weightless? The money this kid earns now is higher than what his father earned as a coolie. He can pay one penny a day to his family, but ordinary adults can't earn this amount!
I had a nice bowl of dry rice. The elder brother and the younger sister next to me could only watch it. They couldn't eat such a good meal.
After finishing the meal, he put the bowl aside, and the younger sister carried the bowl quickly and went out. Hong Gouzi calmed down and said to his mother: "Mom, how many taels of silver do we have now? You will give it all tomorrow morning.
I, I need money!"
"Gouzi, why do you need so much money? Didn't Eunuch Cao give you the enamel goods on credit? Our family did have some savings recently, but we can't make them outside. We still have to save them to marry you and your brother.
Wife." Hong Gouzi's mother became excited when she heard that her son wanted to get money. The reason why she took over Hong Gouzi's financial power was because she was afraid that the children would spend money squandering money and lose all their money.
All the money was given to his followers.
"Mom, it's business this time. Eunuch Cao has found a new job for me. This job costs a little money, and I guess our family's little money may not be enough! You take out our books first, and I
Let's see how much is missing. If it's not enough, we'll ask Eunuch Cao for an excuse. The favor we owe him is a bit big." Although Hong Gouzi is close to Eunuch Cao, he doesn't want to get too close and owe him a favor. Because
Now he is sensible and knows that all the eunuchs in the kilometer have been cut. What if Eunuch Cao asks him to do the same in the future?
"Eunuch Cao has arranged an errand for you again? What is it for this time? Why do you need so much money?" After hearing that her son said that his patron had arranged an errand for him again, Hong Gouziniang became interested and quickly asked to see what happened.
What to do.
"Eunuch Cao said that the palace wanted to collect human urine, so he asked me to collect it for a penny and sell it to him for a penny. This business requires a lot of money, so I asked you for money."
"Collecting human urine? There is also this business. How much does Eunuch Cao charge? Can't our family just save a little? What are we going to do with that money!"
"We collect tens of thousands of kilograms a day, and we can't cheat! How much can our family save? I want to collect all the people from the streets near us, otherwise what's the point of this business?"
"Thousands and tens of thousands of kilograms a day. If you do this business, you will make one or two taels of silver a day. My dear, our dog is really lucky. He can get this business."
Collecting urine is a dirty job, but when she heard that she could earn a lot of money, Hong Gouziniang didn't mind it. She just felt that her son had a future.
"It's such a good thing. There are so many people doing this work. We can't provide them with meals as before, so we just give them a few cents. It's estimated that we can give them ten or twenty cents a day.
Okay, it’s just a matter of a few coins in your hands, and you still need capital.” People grow up very quickly, and now Hong Gouzi already knows what costs are and what profits are, and he looks like a businessman.
"A few dollars a day is a lot of money. This business is a good one! Mom will give you all the money of our family, but there is a condition. You have to bring your elder brother with you to do this work. Now you have the support of a noble person, and you are very popular.
Yes, you can't leave your eldest brother behind. You can pay wages to others, and you can also give them to your eldest brother. Anyway, you have to spend money to hire people to work."
"What! I'll give my elder brother twenty cents a day, and he will work with me starting tomorrow. By the way, my little sister will also go out with us from tomorrow, and cook us a meal in the shack at noon, too.
The salary is ten cents a day." At this time, Hong Gouzi acted like a small contractor. Even his own family members were paid low wages. Hong Gouzi disliked him for letting his little sister go to the shack to cook.
The food cooked by those servants was terrible.
"My dear, my Yanzi can also make money. You brothers and sisters can bring a lot of money home this day. You are more promising than your father! Your father and I will be blessed in the future. Our family has accumulated all our lives.
Virtue, now that it has been fulfilled in our children, is also a blessing."
Hong Gouziniang is full of gratitude for life and feels that their family has finally seen hope of turning around. She is a woman with life wisdom and knows that Hong Gouzi’s job is to look at Mi Tai, but she can make money every day, which is a long-term business. No
For example, my husband works hard and earns thirty or fifty cents a day, but sometimes he doesn't work for a long time. This is the instability of temporary work.
Taking the four taels of silver given by my mother, he turned around and asked Eunuch Cao to borrow another ten taels of silver. Hong Gouzi took care of some things and started his own business. In the first two days, the business was not big, but by the third
Great improvement was achieved in three days. The little followers sent out collected more than 4,000 kilograms of urine in one day, which was almost not enough for the big wooden barrels prepared by Hong Gouzi. Leaving aside the wages paid to the little followers, he earned
With a penny and five cents of silver, I started a serious money-making career.
Hong Gouzi's fate changed dramatically because he became dependent on Eunuch Cao. Likewise, the Tao family in Liushu Lane, Nancheng, because someone in the palace also took advantage of it.
Tao Dalang took the letter sent back by his third brother and read it for a long time before he could put it down. He felt like he could read. In fact, the person who sent the letter had already read it for him, so he just
Just put it out in a fake way so that my wife can take a look at it again.
After watching the eldest brother put the letter away, Tao Erlang walked over and said after thinking for a while: "Brother, the third brother said that the factory in the palace is recruiting workers. He introduced his family to make money there. How many people did he talk about?"
Personally?"
"I didn't say that. I just asked my brother to take this letter to the recruitment point set up in the palace for inspection. Second, do you want to go too?"
"This is an errand in the palace. You are on the royal rations. You don't have to be a chamberlain like the third child, nor do you have to be a big soldier. You just work hard in the factory. You can earn nearly two taels of silver a month, and you also have to take care of food and accommodation.
It’s great to be able to go out into nature.”
"Both of our brothers have gone to Miyun, who will stay to take care of my mother?"
"Brother, are you crazy? My little sister is not at home, so can she take care of my mother?"
"Let the little sister take care of my mother? She is a girl, and she is getting older now. She will get married in a year or two. Let's go to Miyun to listen to the third child's opinion. Although the contract is for one year, it is very likely that he will do it.
How many years?"
"Oh, my eldest brother, let's get back on our feet this year. Next year, my younger brother will find someone to take care of my mother."
"Where are you going to find someone?"
"You and I are both people who can make a serious living every month, so why can't we just be a wife? We didn't get married before because our family was poor and we had an old woman to support. If you and I were able to eat the royal food,
I'm afraid the matchmaker will be able to get on the pole to match-match our brothers."
