Chapter XXXVII

The Yun family is very keen on making money, so it is not necessary to work hard, Su Hexiang's rich aroma shrouded the Yun family's house for six days, in these six days, the people who came to visit the Yun family were also endless, especially the largest spice merchants in Chengdu Prefecture, as well as pharmacies, after testing the Yun family's Su Hexiang, they thought that this was the most authentic Su Hexiang.

Just when they thought that the Yun family would sell this Su Hexiang, Lu Qingqing had no such plan, and the Su Hexiang proposed was only less than twenty catties, this thing was very heavy, and a small box could completely fit it, so Lu Qingqing didn't plan to sell it, the Yun family was not short of money, instead of putting a lot of money at home, it was better to put Su Hexiang away.

This is the right of the lady in charge, Yun Zheng does not stop it, no matter how she tosses, Hua Niang sells wine and sells a lot of money, and the monk Wugou has money again, so he goes to Lingyundu with confidence to build his own bridge, this time, he accepted the lessons of his predecessors, and is ready to use the best golden vine to build a rattan bridge, which is the most suitable bridge for Lingyundu, Wugou found that there should be a Tiansheng Bridge near Lingyundu when he studied Lingyundu local chronicles, but for some reason no one mentioned this Tiansheng Bridge in the Great Song Dynasty, He was going to look around again while the bridge was being repaired to see if he could find the Tiansheng Bridge.

Autumn is still unstoppable coming, but a strong wind blew, Chengdu Mansion quickly changed from midsummer to late autumn, this year's weather is weird, there is not even a little transition in the middle, the autumn silkworms have been severely affected, the Yun family's dead autumn silkworms are carried to feed the chickens, the bacon has cried so much that it has no strength, and the entire silk reeling workshop is also mourning, the disaster is definitely not only the Yun family, other silkworm farmers are more severely affected. Therefore, it is very likely that the silk reeling workshop will also be suspended.

In the past, there were only spring silkworms and summer silkworms in Shuzhong, and these years began to slowly raise autumn silkworms, for silkworm farmers. Autumn silkworms are the treasure that depends on life, the money from the sale of spring silkworms has to pay taxes, and the money from the sale of summer silkworms has to prepare various inputs for raising silkworms in the coming year. Only the autumn silkworm is the hope for the whole family to eat, and now the autumn silkworm has suffered. The whole family has no capital to live, for a while, the entire Chengdu Mansion almost can't see many smiling faces, and sixty percent of the taxes in Chengdu Mansion are on Shu Jin.

Something happened at home. It is necessary for the head of the house to appear, and the woman is not very convincing at this time, and Lan Lan has been overwhelmed by the kneeling and begging of those women.

Yun Zheng walked into the silk reeling workshop that had been suspended, and looked at the women with blank eyes. After thinking for a while, he frowned and asked Lan Lan, it's already three poles a day, why hasn't anyone started working yet?

"There are not many cocoons in the storeroom, and they will be processed in three or five days, and the originally scheduled autumn silkworms are gone. So there's no rush to work. ”

"Nonsense. The big cocoons in the treasury must be disposed of as much as possible, who told you that you will not live after doing these jobs? The Yun family didn't plan to open a few days of work this autumn and winter, but to improve the workshop.

Look at this place, it's all a pig's nest, don't you need to clean it here? Clean? Sue me for repairing my broken tools this year? The stove for boiling water also needs to be torn down and rebuilt. In order to cool down, the bamboo pipe water curtain on the roof should also be replaced, the terrain here is a little low, and the drainage ditch outside does not need to be dug? There's a lot to add this year, haven't you already discussed it? Why don't you do it yet?

Don't you need to do these things? I'm also worried that you can't deal with these things in the autumn and winter, since this year's disaster, we will prepare for next year's things, and the spring silkworms will be on the market in February, can you be busy? ”

Yun Zheng's angry voice not only did not frighten the women whose faces were like ashes, but the crowd became a little angry, and a bold and strong woman stepped forward to salute and said, "Big official, could it be said that the Yun family's workshop will not get rid of people this year?" ”

"Removing people? How many of you think you can do it? Yun Zheng was still angry.

"No, it takes the sisters to work together!"

"Then I don't have to work, but the food will go down, the polished rice is gone, and it will be replaced with brown rice, but you are allowed to bring the adult dolls at home to eat, and the adult men and women deserve to starve if they don't work!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the women's faces showed a look of fear and joy, and began to prepare to work in the shouts of the stout women, and after a while, the whole silk reeling workshop was restored to the busy green of the past, as long as there is work to do, there will be wages, although the polished rice has no to eat, to eat brown rice, but the baby at home can come with a full stomach, in fact, it is still earned, this year's winter must be very difficult, thinking that they still have a lot of work to do, the women are not in a hurry, people who eat with two hands, No work is the worst thing.

"You, be a good person, how can you still be fierce, you can't be kind, fierce, you see that those people are scared, one by one they do their work faster than a rabbit. Why don't you convert the food here into brown rice and give it to them? On the contrary, they have to do a good job, and they have to bring their children over for dinner? ”

Lu Qingqing was standing outside the shed just now and eavesdropping, thinking that her husband would comforted these women in a gentle voice, but she didn't expect to show a fierce look, and all the good things were done.

"You know a fart, the more catastrophic the year, the more you need a strong leader, the more difficult the shape, a fierce leader gives people a stable dìng in the heart is definitely not comparable to a soft and indiscriminate good person.

You have to remember that the more dangerous the time, the stronger you must be, and at that time, put away the gentleness and humility you have learned in your daily life, and it is better to be a shrew than to cry.

In fact, these women are all fed by labor, and giving them a job to earn money is more meaningful than almsgiving, the former eats justifiably, and the latter can only train slaves, and the difference is great. These women are all women from poor families, it must be very difficult, you say, a woman who can take her children to eat and steal some to support the elderly, should her status in the family be improved? People, as long as you develop the habit of pride, it will be difficult to bow your head when you go to other places, I am here to help you gather the hearts of these women, so that these people will not be accustomed to staying in anyone's house except our house. ”

Yun Zheng looked at the woman who carried water into the big bucket, and felt a little sad, this group of people is actually the real proletarians, there are countless fertile fields around Chengdu Mansion, but none of the land belongs to them, so they are also the most resistant in the face of disasters.

"Husband, you said that they will not only bring their children over to eat, but also steal?"

"I did it when I was working on the construction site, otherwise Yun Er would have starved to death!"

"Poor ......" Lu Qingqing hugged Yun Zheng's arm tightly, she was very distressed, she never thought that her omnipotent husband would also have a time when he was poor.

Bacon tried her best to keep her silkworms, when the mulberry leaves in the mulberry field turned yellow, she had to cry and give up her silkworms, all of them were taken by the servants to feed the chickens, there were less than ten days left, these silkworms were about to form cocoons, and the early arrival of winter finally made all her hard work turn into water.

She begged her own omnipotent young master, but the young master had no way to face the cold weather, after solving the problem of low temperature in the silkworm room, in the face of yellowing mulberry leaves, Yun Zheng was indeed helpless, unless a greenhouse appeared in front of him immediately, otherwise, such a problem can only be solved by the gods.

Chengdu Mansion has not snowed for more than ten years, at least Su Shi has never seen snow, but after pushing the door open in the morning, Su Shi was stunned by the scattered snowflakes in the sky, and the snowflakes turned into water when they fell on the ground, but in the holly, cypress, and pine trees were hung with white snow, and the whole world was strange and made him at a loss.

It's snowing, it's a big trouble, and now it's not only the silkworms that are affected, but the rape is probably in the catastrophe, and the same is true for citrus, and the pineapple that grows in the field and can eat it for a winter, it is estimated that it will die......

Su Xun stood under the eaves and sighed, holding an umbrella and preparing to go out to see, the snow rustled on the oil-paper umbrella, looking at the women walking hurriedly on the road, Su Xun sincerely hoped that these women could find work to do throughout the winter.

After walking through the fields, as he expected, the leaves of the rape were already turning blue, which had been frozen, as were the leaves of the citrus, and there were still small ice cubes hanging in some places.

When he passed by the Yun family's silk reeling workshop, he found that those women were digging trenches, but they were very stupid, why did the excavated soil have to be placed inside? And not put it outside? If you put it outside, you only need to use a hoe to make the mound strong and it becomes an earthen dam to keep out the water, and now you need to use a basket to carry it out and re-pile it inside, which is a waste of time and a waste of body, and it must be stopped!

"This sister-in-law. You're mistaken, you should ...... when you dig the soil."

"This big official, the snow is heavy, you better go home early, and the hard people work hard to bury you and be careful to dirty you."

Su Xun didn't understand why the woman's eyes showed a pleading look, and when she saw Yun Zheng there, she walked over and said, "Brother Yun Shi, it's not ...... to work like this."

"Hahaha, Mr. Su, it snowed heavily today, and the juniors have good wine at home, so it's better to go back home and talk about the wine, the juniors still have doubts in their hearts and want to ask for advice."

Yun Zheng laughed and dragged the confused Su Zhe home.

"Brother, it's really wrong to dig like that, those women will do a lot of work."

"Seniors, that's right, that's right, the women did it right."

"Why is that?"

"Because they can work more!"

Su Xun shook off Yun Zheng's hand, and was about to get angry, but he seemed to understand something, straightened his clothes, clasped his hands into fists and saluted Yun Zheng: "It's true that the old man is wrong, and the women are right!" Brother Gaoyi, Su Xun admires! ”
