Chapter 233: The Beginning of All Things
"The crown princess slipped the fetus, and the emperor was furious, and killed the two imperial doctors with a cane, and then fainted, and swallowed his breath the night five days ago."
After Jia Yi finished speaking, he glanced at the same surprised master, and said, "Mr. also said that he wanted the prince to go north quickly, at this time, the entire Great Qi must be chaotic, and no one will continue to track down the whereabouts of the prince, which is the best time to go north." ”
Murong Huaide turned his head to look at Dong Rong when he heard this, his eyes full of apologies. Dong Rong closed her eyes fiercely, let out a long sigh, and said, "Since the time is right, you can go." But be safe, my child and I are waiting for you to return safely. ”
Murong Huaide's heart was even more guilty, and he didn't care that Jia Yi was still on the side, so he stepped forward to take his wife in his arms, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, this time we killed the eldest prince and kept Daqi safe for ten years, even if we owed more debts before, we would pay it off." I don't care what happens in the future, I just guard you and the child, and our family has a peaceful birthday. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." Dong Rong suppressed the choked sobs that were about to exit, and tried her best to send her husband out with a smile.
Outside the stone fort, there were already seven or eight people waiting on the beach with simple packages on their backs, and Ukien was also among them. He is most familiar with the grassland, and this time he heard that he was going to kill the eldest prince to avenge his master, so he wanted to be a guide with him.
Gardi waited aside, and when he saw his father-in-law and mother coming out, he endured it and walked forward, and just wanted to speak, but Murong Huaide patted him on the shoulder and shook his head.
Gardi's eyes immediately turned red, Dong Rong hurriedly took him by his side, and persuaded in a low voice, "You are still young, and it will become a burden to follow." It's better to stay and learn literature and martial arts with peace of mind, and there will always be a time to go back in the future. ”
Gardi held back tears and nodded, and hugged his mother's arm tightly without saying a word.
Murong Huaide glanced at his beloved wife deeply, then hardened his heart and strode into the crowd, and quickly boarded the big boat parked by the trestle with a shout.
The sails of the ship were blown by the sea breeze, and soon the big ship was rushed into the white mist. Dong Rong stood on the shore for a long time without speaking, and she couldn't wait to ask all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens and the earth to bless her husband to return safely. This time, their family will never be separated again...
Dong Ping rushed over after finishing his trivial chores, and was very distressed to see his sister like this, so he stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sister, I've been looking for you for a long time, so you are here." ”
"Looking for me?" Dong Rong turned her head when she heard this, and responded casually while sorting out the messy clothes and belts that were still being blown for her younger brother.
"Yes, sister, I have something to discuss with you." Dong Ping held his sister with one hand and led Gardi back with the other. On the way, he told him how to promise to help the Chen family get rich, and at the end, he said, "I heard that my brother-in-law changed the shop of the commercial house by seventy percent before, and the family's income will be much less in the future." But there were more than 100 people on the island, and dozens of craftsmen and shipwrights at the shipyard, and there were enough 200 people to feed in one place. Haining is located in a remote area, the weather is hot, except for the sea can catch a little fish, there is no special product. I've been thinking about it for a few nights, but I haven't found anything, so I really have to come to my sister to find a solution. ”
When the sister and brother said this, they had already entered the stone castle. The old girls have nothing else to do except take care of their family's eating, drinking, and washing all day long, and they are also very sad at this time. Hearing Dong Ping's words, they all gathered around, and Second Sister Cao smiled, "Yes, sister-in-law, there are no workshops or restaurants on the island, we are bored all day long, just waiting for you to come back and lead us to find some work." ”
Mrs. Cao has always been stingy, and she sees everyone eating and drinking her own all day long, but there is no input, and she is even more anxious. But thinking of the safety of her family, she opened her mouth to stop her, "As long as our family is safe and sound, even if we are poor, we won't be in the way, but don't attract the eyes of the government..."
Dong Ping smiled and waved his hand, comforting, "Auntie, don't worry. Although I have only been a parent official in Haining for more than half a year, I know the folk customs here. The sky is high here, the emperor is far away, and most of the people live in clusters, as long as it is beneficial to them, they will definitely protect each other desperately, and the government does not dare to resist at all. Besides, the new successor county magistrate has been supported by me, and he will help cover one or two to some extent. Therefore, as long as the imperial court does not send a large army over, we don't have to stay on the island all the time. ”
Dong Rong saw that the sun above her head was not too hot, so she beckoned everyone to sit in the courtyard, and when Wen Niang came up with Zizhu and Yiba with snacks and tea, she responded with a smile, "Since Brother Ping said this, I am sure, and I have the bottom in my heart." However, Brother Ping was a little wrong. This sea is not only a special product of fish, but also gold everywhere. ”
"Gold everywhere?" Second Sister Cao has always been the most convinced of her sister-in-law, and when she heard this, she interjected, "Sister-in-law, there is sand everywhere here, do you mean that you can dig for gold?" ”
Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Mrs. Cao raised her hand and knocked her daughter, and said angrily, "If you don't understand, don't open your mouth, listen to your sister-in-law." ”
Dong Rong picked a piece of peach cake for Mrs. Cao, coaxed the old lady to eat it with a smile, and then said, "The fruits produced here in Haining are very different from those in the north, such as pineapples, coconuts and bananas, which even Kyoto people may not have eaten." If we set up a canning workshop and make some canned pineapples and canned coconut meat and ship them to the Northland, we will definitely do a good business. The most important thing is that sugar cane is produced here, and the price of frosting is very low, the cost of a canned bottle can be cut in half, and the price is twice as expensive as canned peaches. How many times will you calculate your profits? ”
"Four!" Dong Ping was so happy that he reported it almost immediately, and all the old girls laughed when they heard it, "So much, that's really going to get rich!" ”
Meihua, Wang Daniu, and Erniu all came to the south with the owner, and they counted on the owner to open a workshop again. Although the two daughters-in-law of the Chen family don't understand what canned food is, they also know that their pineapples and those coconuts that can be seen on the side of the road can be sold for money, and they no longer have to rot in the fields.
Only Yang Wanyin smiled reluctantly, Dong Ping naturally guessed his daughter-in-law's mind when he saw it, so he said, "When my sister's workshop is set up, we must recruit workers and buy fruits. ”
When Yang Wanyin heard this, her face immediately lit up. For her, nothing is as important as her husband's future. Although he is now "free" at home and helps his sister take care of the chores on the island, he can't be too obsessed with copper-smelling things and lose his literati style. Of course, for the livelihood of the people of the entire county, this is to be in the "prison" but have the world in mind, which can be described as a noble character.
Dong Rong didn't know that her brother, brother and daughter-in-law still had so many thoughts in their eyes, so she just carefully pondered what other ways to make money.
"Also, the catch in the sea doesn't have to be dried in the sun, and I know how to grill fish fillet, which is very delicious. Together with the bananas, they are also sliced and roasted into a dry meal, sweet and crispy, and when the time comes, they will be transported to the Northland to be sold as small snacks, which is also a good way to make money. ”
"Bananas?" The more the two daughters-in-law of the Chen family listened, the more excited they became, and they couldn't bear it, so they asked, "Madam is talking about horns?" There is a large area near my house, which falls all over the ground every year, and it is as rotten as mud. Can that also be sold for money? ”
"Of course," Dong Rong nodded with a smile and replied, "This thing is cheap here for us, but no one has ever seen it in the Northland, and the reason is that it is far away and difficult to transport." Let's think of a way to process it, and we can sell it for money if we solve the problem of quality retention. ”
"Madame is really amazing," the two daughters-in-law of the Chen family stared at the eldest with excited eyes, remembering that the eldest uncle of the family had also brought a message to them, telling them to serve this God of Wealth grandmother well. At that time, they were still a little unimpressed, but they didn't expect that this master mother was really the grandmother of the God of Wealth, and anything could be turned into silver in her hands.
No wonder my uncle is the patriarch, this vision is definitely not comparable to these stupid women of theirs.
Everyone was also happy after hearing Dong Rong's words, as if the future days would suddenly become brighter.
Dong Ping found a pen and paper and wrote down all the financial routes that his sister said. Then the division of labor began, and Aunt Cao and Mrs. Cao were responsible for taking care of the three children.
Dong Rong and Yang Wanyin were responsible for checking the accounts and managing the overall situation, and Dong Ping took Du Juan and the two sisters-in-law of the Chen family to go ashore to build a workshop and recruit workers. Just converging with Zhang Yang and asking him to buy raw materials.
Sister Cao and Meihua had already helped in the orchard workshop, and they knew how to make canned food, so they started to try to make canned pineapple and canned coconut meat from now on.
Yun Rui and Fuzi volunteered to help build the oven, and they also joined the construction army.
Soon, the whole stone castle was busy, either clanging here or shouting there. There were people cultivating fields on the plains, and the cattle were so tired that they were mooing. On the side of the trestle, the Chen family and the boatmen were arranging the sails and stockpiling fresh water, and they were about to return to the shore as soon as they returned, bringing back the message that the Chen family was going to be the first to prosper. The entire Taoyuan Island has changed from the previous quiet atmosphere to become lively and noisy...
Murong Huaide, who hurried all the way north, didn't know that his little daughter-in-law had begun to transform into Pixiu and swallow silver again. Of course, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care, for her safe return, he had already done such a thing as a traitorous enemy and the enemy of the entire Great Qi, how could he be reluctant to give up a small island. What's more, with the intelligence of his little daughter-in-law, as long as he wants to open up a financial route, the money will flow in, and he doesn't have to worry about losing money at all.
Just as Mr. Feng expected, the emperor suddenly died, the entire Great Qi was affected, the court was in chaos, and no one cared about how to arrest him, a traitor. The petty officials were busy watching the direction of the wind, the important ministers were busy tossing the crown prince to ascend the throne, and even the common people were busy eating melon seeds to watch the excitement, completely forgetting what the king of Zhongshan was who was criticized by them before.
Murong Huaide was afraid that Dajin would get the news, so he took the opportunity to attack Daqi, almost day and night, changing horses without changing people, and rushed to the military city, not even stopping for a moment when passing through Kyoto. R638
