Gui Er said, "Isn't it? They are all straightforward, hard-working, and enthusiastic grassland men, who were bullied when they were in the grassland, and then they fought, and were dragged to the battlefield by those nobles to fight, and their eldest brother was killed in battle. Kumar is actually the second. Later, after losing the battle, Kuma's family became slaves and were relocated to the camp in the capital, and many people died, including Kuma's youngest son, Kuma's father. Fortunately, they later came to Qingchun City, where they had food and a place to live. Later, he redeemed himself, became free, and bought a farm, which now has 1,000 acres of pasture and thousands of acres of mountains and forests. Even better, they are very good at raising sheep and cows, and the goat's milk and milk sold to me every month are worth a lot of money. I see, when the Chinese New Year comes, their sheep will be ready to be slaughtered, and they will definitely be able to repay all the loans and make some money. Hey, when they talk about it, they all feel that life is the best now, even better than when they were barbarians. ”

Da Niu nodded and said, "We are all blessed by the county lord." ”

Gui Er said: "No, the Kuma family is also very grateful to the county lord." By the way, Kuma's eldest brother's son is now adopted by Kumar, his name is Ugo, and he is already studying in the academy. That boy, when the summer school is on vacation, helps his uncles with the work, herding, and is smart and capable. I looked very good, so I introduced it to my sister-in-law. The two families have already made a marriage. After two or three years, when the children are older, they will get married. ”

Everyone laughed. Da Niu said: "Then such a child is a child of Da Chu, or a child of the barbarians?" ”

Gui Er said: "I also asked Brother Kuma, and Brother Kuma said that in the future, such a child will be a child of Qingchun City." ”

The big cow muttered, "The children of Qingchun City." ”

The feast was soon over. They are now rich though. But he was born as a peasant, and he didn't know the tricks of the aristocracy to listen to music and watch plays, and he was very happy to eat a dinner party with big fish and meat, and with famous wine, this meal was a good banquet.

In the evening, when everyone was gone, Da Niu and Gui Yuxia settled their son. Freshen up and rest. Gui Yuxia told Da Niu about the matter of the woman's table: "This matter about the Acropolis can be seen, everyone's thoughts are different." Jin Xia was a shrewd person, and immediately decided not to want the 500 acres of land. I think. Yinxia didn't want it very much, and Gui's second family didn't say it, but Gui's daughter-in-law. And the eldest sister wants these lands very much. ”

Da Niu said, "What can you do with such a little bit? Why don't you do business? Luo Hu has already told me that he is looking for the patent office. Let's see if we can improve the sugar extraction technology and plan to further expand the business. Of course, it is also necessary to buy a few more large farms in the Acropolis so that there will be a continuous supply of sugar cane. There is also Katsura Er. He was going to open the dairy to the Acropolis. In the future, the residents of the Acropolis will also be indispensable, and there will not be many customers? and Yinxia's husband Jun Weigang. He wanted to learn business from me. It's just my brother-in-law, who just drinks. That's right. There is also Guida, who knows how to farm. There are no plans to do business. ”

Gui Yuxia sighed and said: "Gui Da is hardworking and capable, but both of them only look at the present, so it can only be like this, everyone has their own fate, we just need to ensure that my father and mother have a good life." Hengzhi father and mother are now raised by our family. Every year, he gave the second elder a hundred taels of silver. Enough to live. ”

Da Niu nodded. He can't do anything about the short-sightedness of his sister and brother-in-law. He said, "Then how do you divide these 500 acres?" ”

Gui Yuxia said: "I'll go to Yamen tomorrow and ask if I can ask for another 100 acres, as if the city lord said that if you are willing to divide these 500 acres, you can have 100 acres more." I want 600 acres, divided into two acropolis, the eldest sister and the Gui family each have 300 acres, and they can earn thousands of taels of silver in the future, which is also good. ”

Da Niu said, "You have a lot of share." I'll talk to them tomorrow. Speaking of this, Da Niu remembered what Gui Er said, so he told Gui Yuxia some things about the barbarians as strange talks. Gui Yuxia was dumbfounded when she heard this: "Is there still a virgin right in this world?" It's so filthy, it's disgusting. No wonder the royal family of the barbarians, the nobles were defeated by our army of Great Chu, they really deserved it. Speaking of which, these barbarian prisoners of war are also very pitiful. They worked in Qingchun City, and they did the hardest and hardest work, opening mountains, building roads, quarrying, repairing city walls, these jobs, but they were busy for a year or two before they could redeem their whole family and become free people. When we arrived in Qingchun City together, we all became landlords and rich people, and we had big houses to live in, and many of them had just become free people to live in the temporary houses. It's pathetic. I think that if I have a chance, I will talk to the county lord if I can give any benefits to these barbarian prisoners of war. ”

Da Niu remembered one thing and said: "Gui Er has dealt with them a lot, admires them very much, and introduced his sister-in-law to a prisoner of war orphan, who was adopted by a family of people he knew about as a Kumar teacher. Kumar was the child's uncle. But now they're all free men. Gui Er also said that Kuma's family has pasture, woodland, and a lot of livestock, and the family is doing well. That kid is also very smart, and he is in school. Now the family affairs are settled first, and it will be a few years before they are old enough to get married. We asked him if he would give birth to a child in the future, whether he would be a person from Dachu or a barbarian. Guess what the barbarian said? ”

Gui Yuxia was curious and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Da Niu said: "The children of Qingchun City. ”

Gui Yuxia's heart was shocked. Although Da Niu has gone to night school, learned culture, and done business in recent years, he has never been in contact with officialdom after all. Gui Yuxia was born in the palace, and she has experienced a lot in the past few years, so she naturally understands the meaning of this at once. She felt that she should find some time to talk about this matter with the county lord.

The next day, Gui Yuxia went to the Yamen, Da Niu took care of the family's qiē, and went to the workshop to arrange it, Luo Hu and Wei Gang came to find it, and Da Niu first took them to the patent office to see if they could buy a method for making snowflake candy.

When I arrived at the patent office, because this is also the engineering department that manages the craftsmen, I naturally knew that Da Niu is the husband of Gui Yuxia, the deputy director, and was very warmly entertained. Da Niu explained his intentions and solemnly introduced Luo Hu, saying that he was the owner of a famous sugar mill in the city, and his family was rich. He is also Gui Yuxia's brother-in-law, and his wife is the chief steward of the embroidery room.

Suddenly, the person from the patent office was in awe, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, we not only have a method of making snowflake candy here, but there are also several kinds of them." I think there's one that fits perfectly. ”

As he spoke, he went out and got a book back, handed it to Luo Hu and said, "This method of making snowflake candy was invented by the county lord, and I heard that it was written by Emperor Guanglie of the previous dynasty. Not only can brown sugar be made into snowflake candy, but it can also be added to various fruit juices to make delicious fruit candy. Nowadays, there are several methods of making zuò from snowflake candy, which have been bought by the owners of several sugar mills in the city. Even if you buy it again, it's just doing business with others, and it's not in accordance with the regulations. In my opinion, it is still a novelty to make zuò this fructose. The fruit yield in our Qingchun City is very high, and it is just the right time, place and people. I'm sure I'll be rich. ”

Luo Hu's heart was itchy and hard to scratch when he said this, and he thanked him vigorously. The big cow hurriedly took out a purse and gave it to the little official. The little official postponed for a while and took over.

Luo Hu thought about it for a while and decided to buy this patent. But when I asked the price, I asked for 30,000 taels of silver. Luo Hu hesitated. Da Niu said: "The more valuable it is, the more money it will make in the future." Don't hesitate, the family doesn't have enough money, nothing matters, you can let Jin Xia go to the bank to borrow. Your family's credit is good, and Jin Xia is the chief steward, so borrowing 30,000 taels of silver is nothing. Maybe it will pay back in a year or two. ”

Luo Hu thought about it, gritted his teeth, agreed, first put the two hundred taels of silver paper he was carrying, and then prepared to go back to the bank for a loan.

Wei Gang on the side looked at the hot eyes, and couldn't help asking: "Little brother, do you have any good patents here, suitable for me, I want to learn to do business, can you introduce them to me?" ”

The little official smiled bitterly: "I have a lot of patents in hand, and I can't count them, so how do I know which one is suitable for you." You've chosen your business first, and then let's see if there's any technology in this area, right? ”

Da Niu laughed and said, "Wei Gang, don't worry, think about what you're good at." ”

Wei Gang said: "What can we be good at? It's just that she is good at farming, and Yinxia is good at embroidery and weaving. ”

The little official thought about it and said, "There is nothing to say about farming. But if you are good at weaving, I have a new type of textile machine here, which is also patented. Now we have more cotton growers in Qingchun City and the three surrounding cities, but there are not many textile households. The cotton cloth we supply now is not good enough for our own embroidery room procurement. Therefore, the black family and the county lord developed this new type of textile machine together, and the weaving speed was much faster. If you buy it, it won't be expensive, but it will cost you five thousand taels of silver. But after buying the technology, I had to ask the craftsmen of the black family to make this kind of loom. The black family also sent technicians to teach how to use this loom. It's just that the cost is big in this way. A loom may cost about a dozen taels of silver. The investment is naturally large. Another point, this technology is not like their technology, in Qingchun City, it is just sold to their family. The technology of this loom can be sold casually, as long as someone buys it, as many people buy it. In other words, you will have more competitors in the future. ”

Wei Gang thought about it and said, "I think it's very good, so I'll go home and discuss it with Yinxia." ”

Da Niu said: "This is a big deal, you and Yinxia discuss it, and it's best to discuss it with your eldest sister." ”

Wei Gang nodded.

Luo Hu saw that they had finished talking, and hurriedly urged him to leave, he waited to hurry home to discuss the loan, so much money, he must see the benefits quickly.

Da Niu could only say goodbye to the little official and take them back. (To be continued)
