They were still talking about the pros and cons of opening up wasteland in the west, and other families in Zhuangzi also rushed over one after another. Some are fathers and sons, and some are old couples. They also came over to care about Xiaolong's situation as an official outside, and the other was the matter of clearing the wasteland.

When the people in the room were talking about it, Wen Chao and Qingzhu came back with the old gentleman followed by Aoki, Minghao, and Mingjuan. As soon as everyone saw the old gentleman enter the courtyard gate, they all quickly stopped laughing and stood up together, and the grandfather walked a few steps away from his seat to the door of the hall to greet him. As soon as Er Ya saw the strange old gentleman, she immediately knew that this might be Director Shi's husband, Sun Juren, and hurriedly followed her grandfather to the front of the hall.

Not long ago, the two gentlemen of the history curator came to Hepu Town, and after a few days, they learned that the Wang family had two other schools: one Wang Family School and one Liujialing School. But these two schools don't know if it's because Mr. can't keep up with the teaching, or because the children themselves have to rely on them and it's not easy to study, and the teaching results have been unsatisfactory for the past few years. So after the two old gentlemen muttered in private, they chartered the two schools one by one. Cao Juren went to Liujialing School, and Sun Juren came to this Wang Family School.

As soon as the Wang family heard that Director Shi's former husband came to teach their children, who would be unhappy or excited?! One by one, they treated Sun Juren as respectful as adults. This Sun Juren has not been here for a long time, but he can feel the simplicity of the people here and the respect and gratitude to him, and he is in a very good mood, eating well, drinking well, living well, and this body also feels much younger. If it weren't for the fact that it hadn't been here for long. A little embarrassed to speak, he really wanted to bring his old wife to the family.

Sun Juren called his wife an old wife, but in fact, in Erya's opinion, he was not very old. He was in his early sixties. It's just that seventy is called ancient here, so sixty is already a very old man.

Sun Juren saw the old lady of the Wang family and the female proprietor personally welcome him to the door of the hall, and the joy in his heart was even greater than before. He put his hands together slightly, and his front body leaned slightly towards the old lady and the female proprietor to make a gentleman's salute, and the grandfather quickly followed suit and returned the salute. Erya leaned halfway forward and leaned forward slightly, which was counted as a return gift.

Erya pretended to be polite, but at the same time, she was secretly troubled in her heart: dealing with scholars is a lot of courtesy. If you are not careful, you will be picked on and blamed.

As soon as Sun Juren arrived, the Wang family no longer made the same noise as they did just now. didn't talk much, basically Sun Juren, grandfather, and grandfather spoke, and they listened. Er Ya also asks and answers, putting himself in the position of an absolute supporting role. In front of such a scholar who has a big rule. Erya is still a little reserved. lest they be disgusted with a woman who points fingers in front of a man.

When it was time for dinner, the rest of the Wang family said goodbye and went back, and the grandfather, grandfather, and second uncle and grandson stayed behind.

The second aunt arrived home when they first started eating, and since Erya and Xiaohu left, she helped them take care of several factories, and walked around every day. Her idea is very simple, even if she doesn't understand anything, but there is a family member there. It's better than giving everything to someone else. Arrive in the morning before employees go to work, and leave in the evening after employees get off work. And it did work. At least those who are in charge are always vigilant because they see the owner's aunt there every day.

The eldest aunt can't help anything else, but Minghao and Mingjuan are handed over to her to take care of, and the second uncle's three meals a day are also solved at the eldest brother's house. Wen Chao and Qingzhu didn't have to eat at the uncle's house because they had the nurse who stayed behind to take care of them, but in the evening, the eldest aunt still had to come over to accompany the two children in person.

After seeing off the guests, the children were busy reading and practicing calligraphy, and Er Ya picked up Shi Jingxuan's notebook and flipped through it page by page.

Shi Jingxuan's notebook is modeled after the ledger, and each page is drawn with a grid, indicating the date, the name of each department, etc. The most distinctive feature is that there is a diary-like mark on the weather. This can be of great benefit to the later investigation of who is true and who is false.

There are a lot of things I remember here, but they are all very simple and clear, and not verbose. For example, the record of the shoe factory: it is simply how many shoes are shipped today, how many are scrapped, how many are reworked, how many workers are on the job, etc. For example, several machines in the knitting factory are operating normally, which machine is being overhauled, which machine is required to be scrapped, etc. For example, how many carriages have been made by the car dealership, how many orders have been received, how many orders have been paid, etc.

In addition, there are records of farmland events, such as the climate this year, whether it has any impact on crops, whether it is a bumper harvest or a decrease in yield, and how much grain, fruit, and aquatic products are produced.

Don't look at his memory very concisely, but this is the basis for checking the wrong accounts in the future, lest someone really do anything in the account books and can't verify it.

After carefully reading Shi Jingxuan's notebook, even though Erya hadn't been to a few factories and farmlands for so long, she already knew some of the key things she needed to master now. Because Shi Jingxuan did so well, she once again felt that it was too condescending to keep Shi Jingxuan in her house as a housekeeper.

The next day, she did not rush to Liujialing, but went back to her parents' house to have a look. Huigui is still not at home, and now spends most of his time in the glass factory. He is already a master of the glass factory and still holds a 10% stake.

The glass workshop where his master used to work was run by the imperial court, and he studied there for a year, and the master said that he could make glass independently and become a teacher. But he didn't leave in a hurry, but followed behind the old master while taking care of the old master and making glass as the second master. Although the second master doesn't get half of the share, the salary given is not low, and he can get dozens of taels of silver a month. It's hard not to make other people blush!

In particular, the master's grandsons who did not get this glass-making technology were very angry at the fact that the master left them aside to accept an outsider who couldn't beat him as an apprentice, and he didn't dare to say anything to his grandfather, but he was not polite to Huigui. After all, Huigui is a child from a peasant family, and he is a kind man who can tolerate it. He always backed down in the face of the provocations of the master and grandchildren, and after a long time and a lot of times, he asked the master to know. Angry and ashamed, he wanted to transfer the shares given to him by the court to Huigui, but after Erya knew about it, he refused for his younger brother. and set up another glass factory at his own expense, and the big supervisor held half a share; Huigui is a master, and one person holds one share; The second mother, the eldest sister, the eldest brother, and the younger sister hold a share; The three daughters and two sons of the uncle's family and the two daughters and three sons of the second uncle's family hold a total of one share; Xiaolong holds one share: Tianxia Xing holds half a share; The remaining five shares are shared by Erya and Xiaohu. In addition to the chief supervisor and master, and the husband and wife, these shareholders are not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the glass factory, and can only sit and share the profits, and anyone who maliciously breaks this agreement will be forcibly confiscated equity.

Because the glass factory is far away from their home, in addition to their own family members, who hold shares, there are also Director Shi's father and son, Wu Fenggang, and Chen Shopkeeper, who know, and others including Grandpa Tai don't know. In fact, Erya didn't want to hide it from her grandfather, but she didn't take the initiative to say it.

In recent years, the glass has been sold very hot, and the profit is quite large, but because the turmoil caused by the car dealership was too strong before, no one paid attention to the glass factory that made more money, so that they silently collected a lot of silver in the money bag.

The second girl's money bag is especially rich, because Huigui and Huifu still have the concept that they can't keep their private money to earn money. Fortunately, she earned a lot of money at home, otherwise she would not dare to close her eyes every night with so many silver tickets in her hand now.

The second girl, who has a lot of money, did not make Mrs. Kuo's money with her sleeves caged, and was still busy with housework and the vegetable garden in the vegetable field as before. Because the daughters-in-law became pregnant and gave birth one after another, the old wife who was invited before still stayed at home to help with some light chores.

When the second girl arrived, her mother was just about to go out to the vegetable garden to pull out the pepper seedlings that had been taken off the shelves, and then turn over the loose soil and dry it, ready to sprinkle the yellow heart black in a few days, just in time to plant the seedlings in October.

"Huh! Second girl, why did you come back suddenly? ”

Erya shook her head helplessly and replied, "Hi! My family bought a newly bought field in Jiangnan, and the long-term workers I hired made trouble, so they notified me to come back and deal with things! ”

As soon as the second girl heard that the long-term workers were making trouble, she became nervous. In the past, the tenants of the Hu family in Liujialing were in prison for a county order, but it should not be underestimated!

"Is it dealt with? Is it a big deal? ”

"It's okay, it's been dealt with, but it's just that those long-term workers want to share the land and don't want to be responsible, so they will make trouble and force us to take the initiative to agree to give them the land again. It's all trivial, and when I got there and knew what was going on, I dealt with it on the spot, without any grinding! ”

"It's okay! Have you had breakfast? If you don't eat it, I'll ask the old lady to get you something to eat! ”

"I've eaten, I'll go with you to the garden! By the way, I will help you turn over the soil. As she spoke, she took the big shovel from her mother's hand.

Her vegetable garden was not very far, but it was a few minutes to walk, and on the way the second girl told her about her family's empty house in the town.

"It's a pity that the yards of your family in the town are so empty, even if the two yards with the granary have to be guarded and can't be rented out, can't you rent out a house that doesn't put anything? Every time your father goes to help you clean the house, someone asks if the rent is rented, and the rent has risen to fifteen taels a month. This year, it's one hundred and eighty taels of silver, and it's gone, and it's distressing to think about it! The second girl shook her head in distress as she spoke.

Although the second girl in the courtyard does not live, there is a secret mechanism inside. She and Xiaohu worked hard to get the basement darkroom, and if someone lived in it for a long time, it was very likely that they would touch some mechanism, and then the matter would be a big deal.

"That yard is not rented, just leave it like this!"

The second girl sighed: "Hey! Never mind! If you don't rent, you won't rent! Anyway, the town is very safe, and your guards patrol twelve hours a day, and they are not afraid that someone will enter the house and steal. ”

Erya listened to her mother's words, and replied funny: "In that house, except for some furniture, there is nothing valuable, who would not go in and steal things without long eyes?" ”

"Hey! Also! (To be continued.) )

PS: It's okay, it's okay! Finally finished today's update! I really don't want to take time off!
