[Ran^Text^Library] [ ] All the slaves of the Yuan family had been taken away when the government sealed them, and all the servants left behind were the stewards and subordinates who were originally in the employment relationship.

Including those long-term workers, there are more than 50 people.

The yard was full.

Gu Xinyue took Zi Su and sat down in the room, looking at Qin Qi outside one by one, and saw that Jiang Feng, the first chief steward to come out, was the middle-aged man from before, and unconsciously raised her eyebrows.

This Zhuangzi is not far from Xinqiao, and it is only thirty miles from here to Shangguan Road, and the traffic is much more convenient than that of Zhuangzi over there, but it is in the mountains, which is very hidden.

Such a large-scale oil mill, such a profitable Zhuangzi, but a person who is not a domestic slave is used as the chief manager......

Qin Qi didn't ask about anything, but just asked the people below to sign a contract for a few years one by one, and it didn't take long for more than fifty people to finish.

With a slight bow, Qin Qi asked his subordinates to bring out the few Yuan family slaves brought back from the capital.

There were seven men and three women, all of whom were hungry and had cloudy pupils.

Qin Qi glanced at Jiang Feng, who was surprised, as if he didn't care, and when he saw him, he immediately restrained his expression, but he glanced at a small steward next to him, and the corners of his lips were hooked unconsciously.

On the way, he asked the slaves of the Yuan family, saying that Zhuangzi had just squeezed out a batch of tung oil before it was sealed, and he also said that he would buy it, but when he brought people over yesterday, he didn't see any oil.

Moreover, as a chief steward, it is impossible not to know the huge profits that can be made by harvesting those rapeseeds, but this man, not only does not mention them, but drives out those peasants.

If it weren't for the fact that his own girl was so powerful, and he didn't understand the Tao here, once there was a conflict with the peasants, then this Zhuangzi would ......

Coming out of those people, Gu Xinyue held her chin and secretly watched Zisu's reaction from the corner of her eye, especially the girl who looked like she had been ravaged.

Shisu just lowered his head and didn't even blink his eyes a few more times.

Sighing, Gu Xinyue beckoned and asked the guards to call Qin Qi in.

"I'm going out for a walk." As soon as Qin Qi entered the door, Gu Xinyue said.

"I'll be with you." Qin Qi turned around and prepared to let those people disperse first.

"Don't, you stay and deal with them, those who are in charge, first hand over the account books, and then drive them all out, don't keep one, I believe in your means, don't leave trouble." Gu Xinyue raised her head and said with a smile: "I'm a girl's family, don't look at this kind of bloody thing, I'll just go for a walk in the mountains with Zisu." ”

After a moment of silence, Qin Qi summoned the captain of the personal guard team and asked him to take ten people to follow Gu Xinyue up the mountain, and after the people went out through the back door, he closed the door, and sat down on the chair brought by the personal guard, and said: "Ming people don't say dark words, Jiang is in charge, greedy silver, spit it out for me, otherwise, hum!" ”

*

The backyard door faces the mountain wall, and it doesn't take long to get up the trail to see the rolling hills.

The peaks and mountains are stacked and green, and the pieces are all tung oil that has reached the peak fruit period.

"Girl, if you go up, you'll be out of the Zhuangzi realm." Climbing to the top of the mountain, seeing that Gu Xinyue began to climb higher again, the guards couldn't help but say.

Coming from Xinqiao, there is a hill with a valley, and the mountains near Zhuangzi begin to rise and fall violently, but these mountains behind Zhuangzi are already ridges and undulating, and the dense forests and mountains of the valley cannot be seen.

There is no road on it, and the trees are so high and dense that even the sun can't let in.

"It's okay, I'll just go up and have a look." Wiping a handful of sweat from her forehead, Gu Xinyue tightened her sleeves and continued to climb up.

The mountain here should be connected to the mountain on the other side of the green antelope, but there are many fewer medicinal herbs than there, is it because the tung trees here are too densely planted?

Then just go up and look at the places where there are no tung oil, and you can verify her guess.

"Perilla, how many catties of fruit can be beaten in one mu of tung oil in our Zhuangzi?" Holding the trunk of the tree and climbing up, Gu Xinyue said as if she didn't care.

"Last year, one acre was planted with three loads of fruit." Zi Su glanced at Gu Xinyue's blackened embroidered shoes and skirt, and said lightly.

Three hundred acres of tung oil has a total of three thousand taels of silver, one mu and three quintals, that is, three taels of silver and one load, according to Qin Qi said that the price of tung oil on the market is five hundred wen per catty, so the profit of the oil mill is nearly 20,000 silver.

Moreover, that is still the price of raw tung oil, and the product produced by this oil mill is cooked tung oil!

Such a big profit, but the outside doesn't know? Even when the government came to check it, they didn't notice it, but they just added a sentence to the land deed, and they brought an oil mill.

Climbing to the top of the mountain, seeing that there were indeed many more plant species on it, Gu Xinyue was also a little tired, so she found a stone and sat down, looked at the reckless forest sea below, and asked the guards to find water and get some food.

"Shisu, this oil mill is also the idea of the eldest young master, right? In the past, did these two Zhuangzi belong to the Yuan family, or did they belong to the eldest young master? Holding her sleeves and fanning the wind, Gu Xinyue squinted her eyes and looked down, and said casually.

Standing behind Gu Xinyue, Zi Su raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Xinyue, and said, "This slave doesn't know, it's just that the slave's father goes to the mansion every year to give an account to the old lady." ”

That is the public high school.

Gu Xinyue bowed slightly.

These days, the news from those long-term tenants said that there are generally oil mills in the countryside, but they are not big, at most it is just a stone mill, that is, everyone grows some sesame (sesame) and pays some money for the oil mill to squeeze it.

But the Yuan family is intensively planted, if you add the tung oil forest here, the tung oil produced is more than 100,000 catties, such a large oil mill, such a large output, but the Yuan family can do it that others can't notice?

Forget it, anyway, in the future, all this tung oil will be sent to the northwest to Gu Mohan, how to make people not realize that it is Gu Mohan and Qin Qi's business, just think of other ways to make money.

In other words, the oil, except for the vegetable oil and sesame oil, it seems that there is no peanut oil here, so why not find the peanuts and start frying the peanut oil?

If you plant rape in the spring, sesame seeds in the summer, and peanuts in the autumn, then not only will the income of these tenants be higher, but the production of their own oil mills will be more abundant.

There are also these forests, there are more tung trees below, which has already affected this forest, and it should be diluted a little, and then add some other tree species into it, well, it is not bad to plant some ginkgo.

Holding her chin in her hand, Gu Xinyue's thoughts drifted far away, and she didn't pay attention to the vague eyes of Shisu behind her.

There was also the sudden sound of the wind.

The sound of breaking the sky with a chilling sword aura.
