Chapter 446: Dissuasion (Medium)
Qiu Ci was not convinced: "How does Madam know that I am a bold person?" You also said that you also know how to make glass, and this kind of business is a lucrative one. ”
Dong Xiaoman sneered: "A book of ten thousand profits? I don't know, it's just that the cost you brought it up to me was too high. I don't want to do this business, but since Wei'er wants me. I can communicate with you about that private kiln and let the owner rent it to you. ”
Qiu Ci shook his head: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, since Madam thinks that I, Qiu Ci, am not a trustworthy partner." Then this is more than business, but it still has to be Mrs. Xie Luxie. ”
Dong Xiaoman frowned and asked, "You don't want to know what Lu Dao is for, I don't want to do this profitable business with you?" ”
Qiu Ci shook his head: "I don't want to know Lu Dao, Madam has her own reason." I also have my own ideas, I don't want to listen to Madame's reasoning, I don't want to change my own mind. ”
Dong Xiaoman gritted his teeth and endured the reason he wanted to blurt out. said a few words of gossip and asked people to send Qiu Porcelain out.
Wei'er likes the free life in the countryside very much, so much so that Qiu Ci has no idea when he comes to complain about his mother.
said with a smile: "My mother understands more things than us, and the things she is worried about must be something we didn't expect." Didn't my mother say that I could lend you money if I wanted it, so you can take it with confidence. ”
Looking at Wei'er, who was staring excitedly at the boys who were competing with wild horses in the distance, Qiu Ci had an indescribable sense of powerlessness.
used to look like he was going to do a big job, but when he arrived in the countryside, he became a vulgar and wild man.
The gentleman himself is a gentleman, and he has no interest at all.
Qiu Ci left with a snort, but he still didn't forget to borrow two thousand taels of silver from Dong Xiaoman.
Wei'er secretly lent her five hundred taels from private money. He also asked for five hundred taels of silver from the eldest brother.
In this way, Qiu Ci has a reserve fund of three thousand taels in his hand. And what about her own silver?
She wanted to leave a way out for herself. I also feel that I should leave some money in my soap business.
Wu Dapeng inquired about Wei'er's thoughts. The original attitude of skepticism and wait-and-see immediately changed.
"My mother is right, since I don't know anything about business, why do I have to stand in the pit and not? I have a knack for dealing with horses, and I'll have to train a few more horses. In the future, I will have my own horse gang, and I will be able to make a living. Wei'er's words reassured Wu Dapeng.
When I inquired about the money that people gave to Qiu Ci, I was even more relieved. Dong Xiaoman can make so much money, which means that people are optimistic about it.
Only then did he make it clear to his mother and put out a large amount of the family's savings to invest in it.
Dong Xiaoman later saw Qiu Porcelain several times. Every time I tried to remind her, she blocked her back.
After a few times, I didn't bother to say anything.
Wei'er has her own horse farm, although there are not many horses, but there are about twenty horses, and most of them are wild horses.
That also made him feel like a big landlord, and every day he excitedly imagined that he had 10,000 acres of fertile land and 10,000 good horses.
Dong Xiaoman felt that it was time to teach his son to recognize the current situation.
"If you want a big horse farm, you have to have a lot of feed. You can't just buy this grain and grass in the street. ”
Wei'er nodded: "I know that there should be all on the farm." ”
Dong Xiaoman said: "According to your ideas, but in three years and five years, your horse ring will not be able to fit." Where are you going to put the hundreds of horses? ”
Wei'er scratched the back of her head and said embarrassedly: "It's because I think too little." Didn't think it through! ”
Dong Xiaoman praised with a smile: "It's not that you haven't thought it through, you are too young." Young after all. There is also less experience. ”
Wei'er smiled, her dark face tinged red.
"Looking at the entire Central Plains at your age, there are not a few of them. When you want to do business, I know that my son is not simple! Among these children, Wei'er's temperament is the most like a stubborn donkey. You have to follow the hair repeatedly, and the more you twist it, the more unconvinced you are.
"Do you still want to be in business, or do you want to stay in your business?" Dong Xiaoman asked tentatively, but the answer was already clear in her heart.
Judging from Qiu Ci's muttering expression every time she walks, Wei'er no longer has the momentum she had at that time.
"Oh, I think I'm a little sorry for Qiu Porcelain. She's the best girl I've ever met, but I really don't know much about her business. If I am short of money, can I give her money, and if I am allowed to take a stake, I can also be half of the owner. But she said that I was not good at raising horses, and I was really holding back a fire in my heart. ”
Wei'er's words made Dong Xiaoman almost burst out laughing, and said in his heart: I thought that you were just starting to fall in love with your youth, and you didn't care about anything.
Wei'er said again: "I've already suffered losses twice, if I don't make up my mind to be the third time." That really means I'm a pig, and I'll make people laugh to death. ”
Dong Xiaoman's smile darkened when he heard this, and the child still remembered what happened back then. But who can forget it.
Wei'er said again: "Mother, how do you think I can make my horse farm bigger and bigger?" ”
Dong Xiaoman said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, if you want to raise horses, you must need place and food." The only way to do these two things is for you to become a landlord, and the land that reaches the end of the sky from your feet is yours. Your horse will run as much as you want, and the mountains and the water will be yours. ”
Wei'er raised her eyebrows and thought for a long time, then smiled: "This can go to the northwest, there are many mountains over there." ”
Dong Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "That's true, but most of the land over there is too small." If you really have so many horses, you won't have enough to eat. ”
Wei'er said: "What should I do? ”
Dong Xiaoman said in his heart: I haven't planned it for you yet, but it's important to put your mind in a useful and safe place first.
"You can farm here and raise horses in the northwest." Wei'er thinks it does make sense.
Dong Xiaoman continued to brainwash: "When I made a fortune with your father, I had a lot of land because of a coincidence. The two of us have the ability to settle down, and to put it bluntly, this is what can save lives. Do you think that my shops have been burned or smashed, do I deserve to be tinkling? ”
Wei'er nodded: "Yes." If it burns, there's nothing left. ”
Dong Xiaoman said: "If you have land, it's different. This year's harvest was not good. We may be able to harvest well next year. Even if there is a natural disaster, it is difficult for people. What are we afraid of? Just eating rent can feed a large family, not people. ”
Wei'er's bright eyes admired and said, "Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy." ”
Dong Xiaoman smiled: "So, it's no problem for you to do business." Mother supports you, but you have to see if you want to do what you are good at. Your ability is so wasted, my mother really can't bear it. ”
Seeing that Wei'er was moved, she continued to persuade: "Which of your father's brothers is not a good player." In the future, when you go back, how happy it will be to take them to gallop across the grassland every day. ”
Wei'er stood up and said excitedly: "Breaking into the rivers and lakes? ”
"That's right, it's a big deal. You can be chivalrous and righteous, and you can also make friends with heroes from all walks of life. There is no such thing to pay you for. How do you navigate the rivers and lakes? Dong Xiaoman tempted, and Wei'er's face turned red with excitement.
"That's right, that's right."
"Then you can rest assured that you will hand over those businesses to your two friends, and the money we lent will be returned to us in the future. You just do your part in a down-to-earth manner, don't be half-hearted. Dong Xiaoman's ear mentioned his face, and Wei'er's mouth was already grinning on her eyebrows at this time.
jumped three high and walked to his room, and Dong Xiaoman's heart relaxed.
"You are so eloquent that you coax your own son around." Erya brought Dong Xiaoman a bowl of mung bean soup, and Dong Xiaoman has been on fire in recent days.
Drinking the mung bean soup in one go, Dong Xiaoman took a deep breath: "Isn't there anything I can't do." This kid is just as stupid as his father. But anyone who has a head can't make people set it twice, and he doesn't have a long memory. ”
After speaking, he pointed outside and said, "Tell me, who is Wu Dapeng?" His eldest brother didn't care. My sister doesn't buy it, so she can be called to play every day as a baby. ”
Erya sneered: "Isn't there another girl, I look pretty powerful." Except for some I don't know how thick the sky is, I don't see anything on the side! ”
Dong Xiaoman snorted coldly: "She? I've tried to persuade me a few times, but when didn't I choke back when I just started? ”
Erya then asked, "Speaking of which, do you think something is wrong?" ”
Dong Xiaoman sighed: "She said that those materials do look very easy. The thing to do is just sand, which is made into juice and then blown into glass. ”
Erya was stunned: "What? It's that easy? How do you blow that thing? How much strength? ”
Dong Xiaoman waved his hand: "The point is not this. This sand is not all kinds of sand, it needs to be carefully selected. For what kind of people's big food is better than ours? That's because the origin is different, the material is different. Besides, if you use a kiln to smelt glass, can you guarantee safety? Even if it's juice, how can she let people blow it? The movement is so big, the loss is sooner or later. ”
Not all people can use it as a weapon just because they have some knowledge, and that requires skills.
I asked a few times, and found that this girl didn't understand anything except a little fur.
And, the most depressing thing is that she is very disdainful of many rules in this era.
The first is that the man has three wives and four concubines, and she has said several times that men and women are equal and does not want her future husband to take concubines.
Can you say this openly, it's just that you're a princess? Dong Xiaoman has not seen a concubine standing at the door of his house so far, and that is because Erlang knows that she does not allow it. But did you say you wouldn't allow it?
If you are so strong before you get married, what good can you do when you get to your in-laws' house?
The second is to oppose the trade in slaves, saying that it is a violation of human rights.
This is a hierarchical society, and there is no pure fairness to speak of.
Otherwise, I just crossed over back then, and I just wanted to live alone through the portal. But she is a married woman, even if she escapes from the silver of the two jujubes, she will point fingers.
Without waiting for the mother-in-law's family to find him, the nosy masses of people also have to go to the government so that they can check their details.
The third is that I feel that there is something wrong here, and complain that this place is troublesome and that place is unhygienic.
Even in the city that was so developed in later generations, there were also schools that built toilets outdoors. Is that clean? Do you have a flush toilet too? (To be continued......)
