After Wu Ziheng's birthday, Wu Ziheng and Mo Shu, as well as Mo Yun, Yang, Bai and others returned to Yuhu Villa.

I don't know what the Duchess of Jin Guo did, after a few days, the ladies and girls of Chang'an all the mansions knew that the Duke of Jin had a very delicious dim sum, which was the cake that Mo Shu, the lord of Chaoyuan County, specially raised chickens to lay eggs and prepared to make.

But those who have eaten this cake, except for not liking sweets, almost do not say that it is not delicious.

Therefore, everyone also thought that Mo Shu could do her best to open this cake shop, even if it was more expensive, they were not unaffordable for these famous nobles.

The Duchess of Jin Guo heard about these people's thoughts, and specially inquired about the situation of raising chickens in the villa.

Normally, because the chickens raised by farmers nowadays do not have so much food, even if they are fed with coarse grains, these chickens will have to lay eggs for at least six or seven months, which is not as good as the later generations where Mo Chaoyuan is located.

And Mo Shu proposed to buy chickens for the farmers when it was July, and now it is late November, although it has been more than six months, but the chickens bought at the beginning are really not much, although now some people have begun to lay eggs at home, the number is still not much.

As for those that were later artificially hatched and raised in batches, it was already September. So these chickens have not laid eggs yet.

In other words, Mo Shu felt that there were not enough eggs to open a cake shop.

In fact, if Moshu is not obsessed with making cakes from eggs laid by home-raised chickens, it is enough to buy eggs outside.

After all, cake shops have just started, and the scale is always relatively small.

But Mo Shu is actually a little loose by nature, and she has been doing a lot of things recently. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, the businessmen from all over the country had done their accounts, and people were sent back to Chang'an along with the New Year's goods for the master's family, that is, the local products from all over the country.

And officials from all over the country have also returned to Beijing to report on their work, the Chang'an court is surging, Mo Shu and others are concerned about this situation, and there are more newspapers to read on weekdays.

Now Mo Yun naturally took this opportunity to inquire about the news and grasp the dynamics, and he was almost not idle for a day.

Mo Hao, Mo Shu and Yang's Bai met with people who came back from all over the country, accepted the inventory of the local products sent by the registration, checked the accounts reported from various places, and were very busy every day.

In general, in the past few months, almost all the merchants sent out by the Mo family branch have been full of money.

It's not wrong to do business with the fastest and most money.

The money, except for a part of the money left by these stewards as capital, was quietly transported back to Chang'an.

Originally, Mo Shu had considered letting these people who went to various places to do business directly use the rest of the money to buy food and hoard it, so that it would be convenient to use it when there was war in various places.

What's more, if you buy grain in other places, most of them are cheaper than Chang'an, especially Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice.

But then the purpose is too obvious.

And Mo Shu is not sure that these people sent out will really not turn their backs on the Mo family because they see the huge profits.

If the matter of the Mo family sending people to various places to do business is discovered, if the matter of hoarding a lot of food in various places is poked out, it will be a catastrophe, and those who do not deal with the Mo family will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and no matter how the Mo family justifies it, a crime of conspiracy to rebel will definitely not be escaped.

Therefore, Mo Shu finally decided to take back the money, and let Mo Yun be responsible for the purchase of food.

This matter is not simple, because Chang'an grain is expensive and it is eye-catching to buy too much, so Mo Yun has to go to various places to buy grain and find a place to store it on the spot.

After Mo Yun handed over the affairs of Chang'an to his mother Bai, Yang, Mo Shu and Mo Hao, he went to Jiangnan when the New Year was approaching.

At such a busy time, Mo Shu found that it was not a way to feed the chickens with grain all the time, and remembered the use of earthworms to raise chickens in later generations.

Today's earthworms, also known as earth dragons, are still everywhere.

Especially in some woods with a particularly high amount of humus.

Mo Shu asked people to go to these places to dig humus and earthworms together to a suitable place to raise, and by the way, let the farmers transport the thick accumulation of humus in the forest back to the field as fertilizer.

This earthworm farming is actually a great thing. One is that this earthworm is not too difficult to handle; Second, this earthworm is rich in protein, which is used to raise chickens not only to save feed, but also to lay more eggs, and the earthworm manure can also be used to fertilize the field.

Fortunately, there are also many smart people at the bottom, and soon the matter of raising earthworms is also on the right track, as long as Mo Shu thinks about it, he will occasionally ask.

Everything is carried out in an orderly manner.

Mo Shu almost got up early in the morning before dawn and went to practice with Wu Ziheng for half an hour. During this period of time, she has greatly improved in swordsmanship, archery and martial arts, and her body has naturally become healthier and more flexible.

Not only Mo Shu, but also several Mo Shu.

After the morning exercise, Mo Shu will practice big characters for a while, or read a book.

After that, I listened to the steward's reports and accounts, and had breakfast behind the screen.

After breakfast, Mo Shu would rest for a while, then listen to Dani report on the situation of the hatchery and chicken coop, and when she was in a good mood, she would go over to see it herself.

After that, I read the newspaper, analyzed the accounts of doing business in various places, and so on.

If the weather is good, I will go for a horseback ride, and I have been stepping on the snow more and more recently.

At noon, Mo Shu would eat some snacks as usual, and then play with Mo Chuan for a while, and then still deal with the big and small things of the Mo family.

This year's autumn season has already ended, and students from all over the country have returned to their hometowns, and then they have also brought back new books from Chang'an.

In fact, long before the autumn season began, the news of this new binding and printing book had already spread.

It's just that the readers returned to their hometowns and set off a boom in book purchases.

Wu Ziheng took advantage of this opportunity to open several branches of Wenchang Bookstore at the same time in Qilu, Zhongzhou, and Jiangnan, where the literary style is more prosperous.

This is also because the paper mills in the south of the Yangtze River and the ink mills in the northwest have the conditions for large-scale production of bamboo paper and ink.

For a time, all the readers in the world were proud of having at least one new book from Wenchang Bookstore in their hands, and some of the books that were printed relatively little because of the precious editions also became the most sought-after goods for readers and large families.

It is now early winter, the weather is getting colder, and although it has not snowed yet, the business of the vegetarian oil and tofu workshop of the Jin Kingdom Mansion is very good.

Many ordinary people, especially those who live near Yuhu County, bought some and put them back because the price was relatively cheap. As for the big families, not to mention, they bought early to prepare for the upcoming New Year.

In addition, there is another thing in the Jin State Mansion that sells particularly well, which makes people blush. (To be continued.) )
