Chapter 679 It's not a poor family anymore, you have to get used to living a rich life!
After the old lady finished speaking, the three old brothers from the Jiang family began to interrupt.
The unhappiness at the front door was almost eliminated after they returned home and opened the gifts Jiang Yitao brought. At this moment, they were concerned about three things. Are the fourth family sure to move? If so, how will the family property be retained?
It's about the old lady's care for the elderly. If the fourth child and his family really want to leave, the old lady's care for the elderly must be explained. They can't just walk away and leave the old lady to the three brothers in the house.
What the third uncle said was not too much, but what the eldest uncle and the second uncle said were very urgent and unpleasant.
"I will make arrangements for grandma's care for her in old age! In addition to the three festivals and birthdays, I will also give the family ten taels of silver dollars every year! My parents will also come to serve grandma from time to time. The land and other things in our home will be left to the third uncle.
take care of.
As I said, you should not make it difficult for your third uncle and grandma in the future. After all, we are a family, and we have to get over it in order to save face. In this way, if any family encounters some difficulties in the future, my family will be able to help even if it is not right. If it will be
It was too much and I couldn't remember the kiss.
Although I didn’t enter the officialdom because I was out of school, I’m not useless. Later, my family will find Tianjin City, and they may be able to use my nephew.”
After all, Jiang Yitao, who has been in a place like the exchange for some time, knows how to deal with and manipulate people. After talking about both benefits and threats, these people in the family were
Soothed.
Early the next morning, the coachman arrived at Jiang's house with two men and another carriage. The hired carriages in the town were flat carriages without a roof, but it was easier to move this way.
Jiang Yitao had already finished his work as a parent. When the car arrived, he hurriedly packed his things and loaded them into the car. It took more than an hour to pack the things. While packing, people from other rooms in the Jiang family also came over.
Help. Jiang Yitao's words last night changed the attitude of the family a lot. They began to think that their nephew might have a big future. Otherwise, how could he have such great financial resources and magnanimity?
When the two cars left the village, the idlers at the stockyard were still talking endlessly. They were very curious about the situation of the Jiang family, a young man who had been eliminated from the university. Is he really prosperous? Or is he just pretending to be fat?
?If you pretend to be a fat person, the price is a bit high.
When we returned to Tianjin, we took the official road directly, and it took two cars four days to arrive. When we arrived in Tianjin City, we saw Jiang Yitao's new house. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother felt calm. Along the way,
The couple was still worried that they would have no place to live in Tianjin, and their son's words might not be reliable.
After entering the house, the couple looked at it for a long time and almost cried with excitement. Father Jiang, who was wary by nature, asked his son to take out the house deed and check it for a while. He was illiterate, but his younger son was literate, and he stared at his every word.
After reading the contents of the house deed, he felt at ease.
"Dad, our house is a bit big. I'm thinking of finding two servants on the street to help take care of the house. What do you think?" After his parents had finished looking at it and asking for confirmation, Jiang Yitao talked about his next plan.
"Who should we hire? Your father and I are in good health, and we have nothing else to do now. Why bother taking care of a house? We won't waste money." Mother Jiang was still in a very excited mood at this time, but
Her reaction was normal. As soon as her son's idea of hiring someone came out, she rejected it. It would be great for the family to live in such a nice house, so why hire outsiders to come in?
"Tao Wa, what your mother said makes sense. It's not cost-effective to hire someone." Jiang's father also agreed with his mother-in-law's idea.
"Mom and dad, it's not as simple as you think. Our family in Tianjin is too small, so we have to have a few helpers, so we have to hire a few servants. Otherwise, we can live in this big house and my income will be very high.
People know that it is easy to be remembered." Jiang Yitao is already well-known in the exchange industry. As a high-income person, his own safety is also very important. Hire a few servants, one is to facilitate life, and the other is also
I want an extra layer of security.
"If that's the case, our family will indeed have to hire a few people. However, it's not reassuring to hire people from outside. It's better to find someone who knows the basics. Look, didn't you say you want to buy a car? I'm looking at the one behind the yard.
The stable is quite big. If you still have some money, we will buy a cart and mules in the next few days. Then I will drive back to my hometown and look for a reliable person to live in. Tao Wa, are you ready?
How many people do you need to hire?”
"Let's hire three, one female and two male. The female usually helps her mother with the housework, and the male works as a driver and does other daily chores. It's okay to hire people from your hometown, but it's best not to be a real person.
Relatives. One thousand and five hundred cents per month for a girl and two taels for a boy." What Jiang's father said made sense. Jiang Yitao felt that it was more reliable to hire someone from his hometown. He originally wanted to have as little involvement with his hometown as possible, but it turned out just now
The first thing I did after moving was to stay away from my old family.
Jiang Yitao may be one of the few people in this era who wants to be separated from his hometown. Normal Ming people, even if they live in the city, cannot let go of their roots in the countryside. Strictly speaking, the urban and rural areas of the Ming Dynasty exist as one, and there are not many
The real citizen class. However, this situation is already changing. The great development of industry and commerce is reshaping the social structure of the Ming Dynasty. There are more and more new citizen classes like Jiang Yitao who have completely broken away from the agricultural society.
They are not like people who lived in cities before, but they are still people who directly or indirectly rely on the land. They are a new group that truly relies on urban industry and commerce to live their lives.
In the industrial revolution and the era of commodity economy, the living conditions of citizens were in a symbiotic relationship. The real great changes in the Ming Dynasty had just begun.
"Taowa, when we buy a carriage, should we buy a carriage pulled by a single mule or a carriage pulled by two mules? Does it have to have a roof?" Mother Jiang turned the topic to selling carriages. Since her son was not short of money, she couldn't wait.
I want to have a carriage at home. With a carriage, returning to my hometown will be convenient and spacious.
"Buy two mules and two carts. A cart pulled by a single mule is convenient for daily use in the city. A cart pulled by two mules is useful for long distances out of the city."
"Two cars? Tao Wa, I'm afraid it's too much money. Although you earn a lot, you can't spend money randomly."
"It doesn't cost much. One set only costs more than half a month's salary. Our family is no longer a poor family, and we have to adapt to the habits of living a rich life."
"Tao Wa, tell your parents the truth. Can you continue to make a lot of money like this? My mother's heart is still pounding. She's afraid that your money-making career won't last long."
"If it weren't for the long term, I could earn more than this. Someone offered me a one-time payment of one thousand taels of silver dollars and a monthly payment of four to five hundred and five taels of silver dollars in the future. They wanted me to switch to work at their exchange.
, I didn’t agree. You two elders, please rest assured. My son earns money based on his ability, how can he not last long? There are many people in Tianjin who want to give me a high salary, but I don’t agree.”
