The matter on the Zhang family's side ended perfectly, and the time entered April. At this time, Zhou Cheng also began to draw out the money invested in Linnan Bay, not to mention how much they earned, Lou Yuzhu invested 9,000 taels to leave two shops plus a second into the yard and made a net profit of 10,000 taels, before withdrawing 4,000 taels, plus the principal and 16,000 taels of surplus silver, plus the dividends and the previous surplus silver in the past few months, the surplus silver in the hand is enough to 19,000 taels, if it weren't for the purchase of 30 acres of fertile land and the production of shops, yards, servants' carriages, etc., the remaining 20,000 is enough!

On this day, Lou Yuzhu asked Lou Hua and Lou Ming to show the two of them the remaining silver and the deed.

On the spot, Lou Huaming's frightened eyes were about to pop out. The brothers knew that Lou Yuzhu had been partnering with Zhou Cheng and Pei Guanying in business, but no matter how much they thought about it, they didn't want to be more than three times more than they expected! You must know that before buying a shop, buying a yard, and adding servants and horses, these cost no less than a thousand taels! The silver ticket is not counted, and the price of the current shop yard in Linnan Bay is not a small amount of these three deeds!

"This, so much money!"

Lou Ming's eyes stammered stupidly, which made Lou Yuzhu smile.

Lou Hua admitted that he was also a little frightened. "Do Daddy and Daddy know?"

"You also know Dad's temperament, you can't hide things, it's not good to be forced by the old mansion to show your mouth, Daddy is hiding things, but you must know that you can't sleep with so much money at home, so I want not to tell them for the time being." Lou Yuzhu did this carefully, not because she didn't trust Lou Chengyi and her husband, but she just didn't want them to worry about it. Even if they knew, they wouldn't be able to help much, so they wouldn't be able to hide their suspense. "Let you know that I want you to have a bottom in your heart, and don't save that little bit of money when you go out or make friends with your classmates."

The brothers now have two taels of silver a month, plus an additional one tael of silver for the family's expenses, and now they can get three taels of silver a month's 'salary' with the account of the gluttonous snack shop, which means that the brothers have almost four taels of silver of private money every month. Food, housing, clothes, shoes and socks, Mr. Shu Xiu, going out and buying books, paper and pens and the like are all paid for by the public, in addition to the places where these brothers have to spend money, they occasionally invite their classmates to eat some meals and the like, and they also bought some wine and snacks for Mu Lao before, but now the wine money is saved, and the snacks are provided by the gluttonous shop, so the brothers almost have no expenses.

The brothers are sometimes very worried, worried that they have no place to spend their money. has a younger brother who is too capable, and they really don't have a sense of accomplishment as an older brother.

"I want to let you know that I want to ask your opinion. If I keep the money in my hand and don't make money, I still want to continue to invest it. ”

Lou Hua and Lou Ming agreed before they listened.

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "I haven't even said what kind of business this is." ”

"Brother Yu'er can do whatever he wants, we have no opinion." This successive family background has fully explained Lou Yuzhu's business acumen, and there is nothing to hesitate about.

"The eldest brother and the second brother can be lazy," Lou Yuzhu looked at each other: "Now the two of you are busy with your studies, I can take care of these things, and you will become a family in the future, hehe, don't think I will take care of these things for another half point." ”

Lou Hua and Lou Ming looked at each other, touched their noses and smiled.

There was no way to take the brothers, Lou Yuzhu had to continue. "In the past two years, the family has bought 190 acres of farmland, 20 acres of shrimp fields, two fish ponds, and more than 80 acres of mountainous land. The income is not much, but the income from eating at home plus the income from the gluttonous shop can supply our family's expenses, and this year there will be the income from the shrimp field and the income from off-season vegetables, which can add up to seven or eight hundred taels a year, and I plan to keep the money in Daddy's hand to make him feel at ease. ”

Lou Hua and Lou Ming agreed.

"I have 19,000 taels of cash tickets in my hand, and I plan to take out 10,000 taels to build a few tea shops on the official road from Nanyang City to Linnanwan, and rent it to others if I don't open it myself, and collect rent every month."

Lou Ming was puzzled: "Why don't we open it ourselves?" ”

"When we eat meat, we always have to give soup to others." Although you can make more money by driving yourself, it is too much. And he was originally going to ignore the tea shop, but later he was afraid that people would make trouble for this line due to blind competition, so instead of managing those vicious competitions, it would be better to intervene from the root.

Lou Ming seemed to understand, and Lou Hua barely understood what he meant. Give some sweetness to the head snake over there, it means to win over, so that someone has to make trouble on this line without them making a move, these head snakes can solve it for them, save money, effort and worry, it can be said to be a win-win situation!

"I will keep 3,000 taels for the remaining 9,000 taels, and I will open two more snack shops like Gluttony in the mansion between the prefecture and city systems, and I will buy fertile land and mountain land for the remaining 3,000 taels."

It is barely feasible to buy a house and a shop in Fucheng for 3,000 taels, but it is a little difficult for the brothers to buy another 3,000 taels of fertile land and mountainous land.

"There are so many fields in the village?"

Lou Yuzhu smiled: "I can buy as much land as I want, dozens of acres and hundreds of acres are feasible, but the rest of me plans to buy mountain land." Seeing that the two of them didn't understand, he sighed and said: "The reason why our family can accumulate so much money is because of the way of Second Brother Pei and Brother Zhou, not to mention that they will leave Huya Town one day, even if they don't leave the fixed dividend deed, there will always be an expiration time, and then our way to get money will shrink greatly." After that, it will shrink, and it is better to take advantage of the fact that they are still in us to open our own way, which only belongs to our three-room livelihood. "Lou Yuzhu is thinking of danger in times of peace, although even if Pei Guanying and the others leave in the future, no one will be able to move the status of the third room, but of course the more money, the better, and of course the stronger this status is, the better.

Hearing this, the two brothers looked right, and Lou Hua said: "What does Brother Yu want to do for a living?" ”

"I want to grow mulberry and silkworms, and then make silk." Lou Yuzhu smiled, as if remembering the days of making a lot of money in the future. "Linnan Bay Haikou is destined to develop trade in the future, as long as we put the finished silk to that place, there will be a large number of wealthy merchants begging for goods. There is no need to bother, there is no need to bother, and it is a profitable business, which is the foundation of our three rooms. ”

It's still a shadowless thing, but the brothers didn't doubt Lou Yuzhu's words at all, and only asked with a burning heart: "What can we help?" ”

"The eldest brother and the second brother don't care about this, just study hard and show off in the exams to give shelter to the family. You must know that the more you make a living, the more people will be jealous, and if you don't have the corresponding influence and protection, no matter how good you do, you will make a wedding dress for others. ”

No one can bear the fact that their hard work is taken away, and the two brothers nodded firmly: "Brother Yu, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations." ”

The brothers' study set the development plan after the third room, and then the brothers worked hard, and Lou Yuzhu began to spend money. First find Li Zheng to communicate about buying mountain land, not to mention that Li Zheng Yanyi was shocked by the big money of Sanfang jumped up, and told Lou Chengyi to find someone to clean up the mountains and forests, Lou Yuzhu went to Fucheng to find someone to buy a house shop pù and servants while inquiring about mulberry saplings and silkworm seeds. Yaxing, who was well-informed, naturally knew that Lou Yuzhu had a good relationship with the prefect's son, so he respectfully invited people to the second floor to discuss, and within two days, Lou Yuzhu's house and shop were ready, and the mulberry tree and silkworm seeds also had the businessman take over the business. After that, while starting to open the store, he waited for the merchant to turn around.

The raw materials of the gluttonous shop are ready-made, and there is no need for Zhou Cheng to agree with those miscellaneous corner chefs to sell them to Lou Yuzhu's shop at a low price, and then there is a special person to collect the leftovers, and then the shop chef will clean up and process the marinade, and then put it on the shop for people to choose.

When the business of the two shops was on the right track, the merchants there also returned with hundreds of mulberry saplings, and most of the silkworm seeds hatched because of the late time, so they got a few autumn silkworms back. The autumn silkworm is not as good as the spring silkworm, but it can practice, and Lou Yuzhu turned around and prepared to return to Huya Town.

I didn't want to wake up the next day and hear the news of Zhou Cheng's arrival from Huang Ying. Hurried to the main hall, Zhou Cheng was drinking the tea that Sanfang is used to entertaining people, and when he saw people coming to raise his eyes and quipped: "It seems that if you want to see Brother Yu in the future, you have to post." ”

Lou Yuzhu was not annoyed, but smiled: "It's not as busy as Brother Zhou, who is half a year younger, I heard that the housekeeper's posts are piled up on a hill, right?" It's funny, but it's not an exaggeration. In addition to Zhou Cheng's ability to catch Pei Guanying's line, the fact that Zhou Cheng can have more than 100,000 yuan from scratch is enough to make people look sideways. It is not an exaggeration to want to visit the relationship like the scales of crossing the river!

Zhou Cheng was teased, and smiled helplessly: "Who is it because I'm so busy?" Well? ”

Lou Yuzhu touched her nose and said with a sneer: "Brother Zhou, you can work hard~"

"Less soup." Zhou Cheng saw through him. "I just hope you can say hello before you come up with an idea next time, so that I can be prepared."

"If you want to say that, then let me mention it, Brother Zhou has to open a ready-to-wear shop quickly, and the silk will be supplied to our family."

Zhou Cheng supported the forehead.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, this mulberry tree is still a seedling, don't be in a hurry at this time!"

"You're confident. If anyone could make this silk, the price would not be high. ”

"Brother Zhou, do you believe that I can make silk?"

Facing Lou Yuzhu's raised eyebrows, Zhou Cheng shook his head: "I believe that you can make silk, but the silk is extremely profitable and few people can touch it." ”

Lou Yuzhu thought about this question. "That's why I only make white silk."

"Only white silk?"

"We only make white silk raw materials, and I don't plan to touch the pieces of coloring, printing, and making ready-to-wear products."

Zhou Cheng was stunned, but had to admit that Lou Yuzhu's move of interest differentiation was wonderful. "If you are a man, you will definitely have a place among the wealthy businessmen of my court."

"The eye-catching identity of the businessman is still a capable person like Brother Zhou, I don't have the heart." Whether it is in the past life or the present life, all he wants is to live a leisurely life, and what scenery achieves and what fame benefits him is vain.
