In the evening, when Da Niu went home, Gui Yuxia had already entered the house, and when she saw Da Niu slightly drunk, she asked, "Brother Da Niu, did you go out to drink?" ”

Da Niu hurriedly said: "Yes, I talked to Boss Huang about selling land today, and after the discussion, I went to the yamen to go through the formalities, I invited him to dinner at noon, and he invited me to dinner in the evening." I also introduced a few businessmen from Da Chu to me. ”

Gui Yuxia hurriedly asked: "So, our 500 acres of paddy fields have been sold?" ”

Da Niu walked to the table and sat down, reaching out to pour water, and Gui Yuxia hurriedly brought him a cup of tea.

Da Niu took a sip and said, "Yes, three taels of silver per acre." When we bought it, it was half a tael of silver per acre, how long has it been? Two crops, in more than a year, have become three taels of silver and one acre of land. That's six times that. I made 1,500 taels of silver in one fell swoop. No, you see, this silver paper has been brought back. By the way, we also have some more silver paper in our house, which is the money from the rice I sold the other day. ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said: "This is not your good vision, at that time, you said that these lands in the city will definitely appreciate sooner or later, and they will definitely appreciate." In fact, many merchants are now settling down in our Qingchun City, and they are very willing to buy land near the city. Most of the land prices have gone up. In the past few days, several families on my mother's side are also preparing to sell their land. That's six times the price. However, they didn't all sell three taels of silver, most of them floated in two taels or three taels. We can sell three taels of silver per mu, mainly because we are paddy fields, which are still more expensive than dry fields. It's all your work. ”

The big cow laughed.

Gui Yuxia said: "Okay, our land has also been sold, but we still have 5,000 acres of manors in the suburbs." You just don't do business. You can make money by buying a shop and renting it out, and you don't have to work hard, so why bother making money? ”

Da Niu said: "Although we have a big estate, I don't see that there is a profitable business, isn't it a bit of a loss?" Now we are celebrating the beginning of the construction of Spring City. There are many opportunities. In a few years, I may not have such an opportunity, so I will not work more while I am young. How can you give it? ”

Gui Yuxia smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you can do it if you want to." I'll go to the bank with you tomorrow for a loan and buy the shop, and the shop will give us another month. What kind of business do you want to do? ”

Da Niu smiled slightly, and said a little mysteriously: "This." I've already thought about it, why don't I buy such a big shop? ”

Gui Yuxia asked, "What business?" ”

Da Niu said: "I want to make a shop that specializes in selling all kinds of spices. Don't you know? Of our more than 5,000 acres of land, I only kept 100 acres for crops, some of which were medium to rice. Some grow wheat, while others grow some vegetables, sweet potatoes. Cotton, corn and the like. These are not for sale. It's just for us to eat. For the rest, 1,000 acres are planted with sugar cane, 1,000 acres are planted with bananas, and the rest are all planted with jasmine and other fragrant flowers. Now, these flowers have been collected under the guidance of the Black family and dried in the sun. I never sold it, so that on the day I opened the shop, I sold it exclusively in our own shop. ”

Gui Yuxia was stunned, she asked too little about these things at home, there were too many things in the yamen, she was busy every day, where did she have time to care about these.

Now that Da Niu talked about the manor, she knew that Da Niu's manor was not planted with crops, but with these things. She was a little worried and asked, "We haven't seen these things before, how can you grow them?" ”

Da Niu smiled and said, "You are too busy every day to know these things, and I have nothing to do after I finish the work in the field every day." Besides, the work in the fields is also done by the Japanese slaves at home, and I am only an overseer. In this way, I have a lot of time, and I can go to night school every day, where I can not only read and write, but also read and settle accounts. I also learned new planting techniques. The disciples of the Black Family taught there how to grow fruit trees, as well as how to grow fragrant flowers. Even those fruit tree seedlings and fragrant flower seedlings, I bought them from the black family's shop. ”

These are all things that Gui Yuxia doesn't know. Thinking of this, Gui Yuxia took a serious look at Da Niu, and found that Da Niu was no longer the honest and stupid rural strong man, whether it was dressing or temperament, he had changed a lot, he looked much more elegant, and he was more confident.

Da Niu continued: "You see, we have so many fragrant flowers in our hands, and I also let my brother-in-law and brother-in-law, as well as a few relatives, learn to grow fragrant flowers, and now they have all been harvested, and these are all sold to me, can I still have no supply for opening a shop?" These things are in high demand among the merchants of Da Chu. Today, after the introduction of Boss Huang, I met several businessmen of Da Chu, one of whom specializes in purchasing all kinds of spices, he is very interested in the fragrant flowers in my hand, and has made an appointment to go to my warehouse tomorrow to see the goods. If he's satisfied, he'll have to buy a batch first. Maybe we can increase the amount of money to open a shop. ”

Gui Yuxia smiled and said, "Then you didn't open a shop, so you made a business first?" ”

The big cow laughed.

Gui Yuxia asked: "Your eldest sister's family lives in our Zhuangzi now, how are they living?" I don't always have time to visit them. ”

Da Niu said: "I hired them to be the head of my Zhuangzi, and I watched those Japanese slaves do work for us, and it was basically okay." However, this is also a stopgap measure. It's not a long way. Actually, I'm going to hire a few more knowledgeable people to take care of Zhuangzi for me. It's best to be from a black family. My eldest sister's family lives in the north, where can they serve these fragrant flowers, fruit trees and other things. When I introduced them to the house, they were going to move to the city. The eldest brother-in-law also plans to reclaim wasteland next to our Zhuangzi and cultivate it. After they bought the house, I helped them get another loan, and they went to buy Japanese slaves and reclaim wasteland, and after a year, if they had land and a house, they could apply to become residents. ”

Gui Yuxia nodded and said: "Let's help them buy a house, just don't let them spend money, let's buy it, although the current house is expensive, but a small one is only a matter of seven or eight taels of silver." This silver is nothing to us now. ”

Da Niu was very moved and said, "Actually, they were not able to come to Qingchun City because of the ten taels of silver we gave. Now that we are here, the food and drink are ours, that is, we are to take care of the manor for a few days, and we have also paid our wages. Now you're going to buy them a house again, thank you so much. You see, we've been here for a year, and you haven't ever made clothes or jewelry for yourself. Now that we are rich, you should make jewelry and buy clothes. You're an official of the Yamen, it's not good if you're too shabby. ”

Gui Yuxia said: "Where do we have money? We still have to borrow money from the bank, and your shop has not yet opened, so it costs a lot of money to do business. Let's save money for a while, you make money, pay off the bank loan, and the business of the shop is good, and it's not too late for me to do these things. I am now wearing official uniforms in the Yamen, and I am wearing a pipe hat on my head, where do I need jewelry? Even when I don't go to the yamen, I have a lot of jewelry? The city lord and the deputy city lord often give rewards, and besides, I also brought some jewelry from the palace, which is not bad. ”

Da Niu looked at Gui Yuxia and suddenly found that he was too lucky.

At this time, Gui Yuxia suddenly turned red and said, "Actually, I came back early today because I have something to tell you." ”

Da Niu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Gui Yuxia snorted for a while, blushed and said, "Didn't I feel a little uncomfortable some time ago?" I thought I was tired, and you advised me to rest at home for a few days. Today, the city lord knew about this, and at that time he called a doctor from the black family to check my pulse, guess what? ”

Da Niu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gui Yuxia looked at Da Niu's nervous look, smiled slightly, and said happily: "The doctor said, I'm happy." ”

The big cow suddenly felt as if he had been smashed by great joy, and his face showed a demented smirk, and he didn't even know what to say.

Gui Yuxia looked at the big cow for a long time and didn't react, a little strange, peeked at it, saw the stupid statue of the big cow, and suddenly laughed and trembled, patted the big cow and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Da Niu woke up and said in ecstasy: "Is this true? ”

Gui Yuxia blushed and said, "Of course it's true." The doctor said that it had been two months, and that he wanted me to rest more, so the lord told me to come back early, and told me not to be so tired every day. Now all the officials of our yamen are complete, and most of them are from the black family. There are also some capable people who came from Da Chu. They are all very capable. The lord of the city said, I just need to recuperate and watch them, and don't do it myself. ”

Da Niu happily wandered around the house, and after a while, his mood calmed down, and then he said, "What the city lord said is that you should have a good rest." Why did I just ask you to pour me tea? In the future, you will leave everything else to me except for the yamen. I'm going to have to hire a few more mothers-in-law to do the housework, so you don't have to do any work, and you'll have someone to serve. By the way, you can't just ask for a mother-in-law, it's better to buy two more maidservants to serve you. Well, a few days ago, there was a group of Silla handmaidens on the dock, and I want to buy two to serve you. You have to take care of it. ”

Gui Yuxia smiled happily. (To be continued)
