Gao Mingcheng's transfer to Henan Governor was a sensational event for Tingzhou Mansion, and Hui Niang and others, who had just finished disaster relief affairs, had to organize colleagues from the Chamber of Commerce to congratulate Gao Mingcheng and practice it.

In recent years, the Yellow River has been flooded every year, which has become the biggest hidden danger affecting the rule of the imperial court. Gao Mingcheng was only immersed in the surprise of his promotion, and he didn't realize how tricky this position was. Taking advantage of the fact that he was about to go north to Henan in September, Gao Mingcheng received a lot of filial piety before leaving.

Although Hui Niang was unwilling, she was able to control the flood well, and the people lived a peaceful life, which was what she longed for, and she didn't feel much distressed about the silver that gave gifts to Gaoming City.

The Chamber of Commerce contributed money and efforts to the local people in this flood, and even the shops that had been hesitant to join the Chamber of Commerce before were actively joined after the flood. Due to the good reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, when it goes to the surrounding prefectures and counties for development, it is also welcomed by local governments in various places.

The parent official of the previous chamber of commerce, the Han Association of Ninghua Zhixian County, was transferred to Nanjing because of the good way to control the plague, and now Gaomingcheng has moved directly from the prefect to the governor because of the good way to control the water. The two of them don't know how to be grateful, but the magistrates of the surrounding prefectures and counties have a clear eye, and the Chamber of Commerce is so powerful, why don't I hurry up and lead it to my own ground? Not only is there filial piety, but also can create political achievements, and in the future, maybe he will be able to prosper like Han Xie and Gao Mingcheng.

“…… The surrounding prefectures and counties of Tingzhou Mansion have been roughly completed, just waiting for us to drive the Chamber of Commerce branch and the silver trumpet branch over. I'm going to transfer people from Tingzhou to preside over and coordinate affairs, in fact, it's best for me to go in person, but ...... After all, it is not convenient to travel far. ”

After the flood, Hui Niang made a calculation with Zhou, this time for flood relief, plus gifts to Gaoming City, spent 3,000 taels of silver from the Chamber of Commerce, half of which came from Hui Niang and Zhou.

Originally, the Zhou family wanted to bear the loss in half, but Hui Niang felt that she was duty-bound as the president of the Chamber of Commerce for these things, and took out a thousand taels of silver in one go, and the Zhou family only needed a little help to take out five hundred taels from his savings to fill the vacancy.

Zhou sighed: "There are gains and losses, do silver trading." Lend money with other people's money to make money, go as fast as you want. My sister doesn't have to take it too seriously, it is estimated that in a year and a half, she will be able to earn back the money she lost. ”

Hui Niang smiled: "I'm afraid that my sister will feel sorry for the silver." ”

Zhou waved his hand: "What's the matter?" The money I earned is not brought by life and not taken away by death, and I suddenly got so much silver in the past two years, I don't know how to spend it. Squandered it again. ”

Hui Niang and Zhou both had smiles on their faces.

This loss seems to be very large, but the printing workshop alone earns more than three thousand taels of silver a year.

What's more, in the past, the most profitable thing for the two families was the printing workshop, but now it has become a silver trumpet. As the bank became bigger and stronger, the deposit and lending business increased, and the profits naturally rolled in.

The two sisters had almost discussed, and Hui Niang suddenly mentioned: "Sister, after this disaster, many houses in the city have to be repaired. There are more people selling houses and yards, and my sister has found a few larger storefronts and houses, and is also going to buy some fields outside the city. ”

Zhou said that she was not distressed, but in fact, she was distressed to death in her heart, but after listening to Hui Niang's words, she immediately left her reluctance to the silver behind: "How cheap can it be?" If it's good, you should really buy more. ”

Hui Niang explained the details to Zhou. In the past few days, in addition to helping to resettle the victims in and out of the city, she also inquired about the sale of houses and fields.

The floods occurred in late summer, and the autumn harvest was largely hopeless. It's good that the people's families have a little bit of food. Those who have no food in store have no other way to survive than to sell their land.

“…… What I want is that we can buy the land back and rent it to the original people to plant. We don't charge them more rent, and if we have anything to do in the future, these tenants can help them a little. ”

Zhou had a wistful smile on his face: "I never thought about it, in just a few years, we will have the money to buy land and rent it, and in the future, will we be able to raise one or twenty nursing homes at home like those gentry." Take people to the village to collect rent and put on a prestige? ”

Hui Niang smiled: "Sister likes it, anything can be done." Since this is the case, my sister will go to Zhang Luo. Nowadays, one acre of mature land is only five or six taels of silver, and we can buy hundreds of acres at a time, which is really a lot. Let's take a look at these yards, which one my sister likes, let's buy it, and we can move to the big yard at the end of the year. ”

Zhou took the information sorted out by Hui Niang in his hand, and suddenly made a difficulty: "Sister, look at me, I am blind, if it is the name of the medicinal material, I still know a few, these words it knows me I don't know it." ”

Hui Niang smiled and introduced the specific situation, comparing the advantages and disadvantages of Zhou: "...... They are all houses of large families in the city, feng shui is prosperous, and after buying it back, it can be lived in a little cleaned up, and I picked a house that is not far from each other, so that the two families can take care of each other in the future. ”

Zhou sighed: "It's good to have money, I didn't even dare to think about the house in Ninghua County before, but now I can buy a house here in Fucheng." It's better to leave it to your sister, and take me over to see it when you're ready. Han Wa'er, did you hear me, we're going to move to a new house in a while. ”

Shen Xi had been listening to them in the name of doing homework, and shook his head when he heard the words: "Mother, isn't it good for us to live here?" ”

"Bastard boy, a few days ago, I complained to my mother that there were too many people in the family, and now I have jumped out and sang the opposite, and you are the most difficult to serve in the emotional family, right?" Zhou scolded again.

Hui Niang hurriedly persuaded: "My sister told the truth, Xiaolang is ambitious and far-sighted, and he really has to serve well." Our two families are living so comfortably now, Xiaolang has made great contributions, and we should listen to his opinions more in the future. Xiaolang, when I move the place, I will leave you a large room, and then prepare a spacious study room for you, so that you can study with peace of mind......"

Shen Xi smiled and did not express any more opinions. In fact, he likes the two families to be crowded together, relying on a pharmacy and workshop to make a living by doing small business, so that there is hope for life, and it is not too eye-catching, and his life is dull and fulfilling. It's a pity that now, I can't go back to my old life.

Hui Niang did not procrastinate, and a few days later, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she took care of the matter of buying land outside the city.

A total of 120 acres of land.

Because they still have to rent to the original landowners, those farmers are grateful to the Chamber of Commerce for helping the victims, and the price given to Hui Niang is very fair, an acre of land is only five taels of silver on average, and one hundred and twenty acres of land also costs six hundred taels of silver.

When he got the title deed and land sale contract back, Zhou held his share in his hand and couldn't put it down for a while.

She didn't take the silver tickets that Shen Xi printed in the past seriously, mainly because she felt that the silver tickets were not uncommon to print as many as she wanted. However, these deeds are genuine "family property" that can be passed down from generation to generation.

“…… This one is for you, this one is for Shiro, this one is ...... Alas, the old lady still has to support the elderly. You little guys, make your own money in the future, don't spend your mother's money. ”

Zhou was just about to generously "divide" the family property, but immediately became stingy again, and took back the land deed divided into three piles and held it in his hand.

After thinking about it, Zhou said cautiously, "If any of your brothers is not angry and filial in the future, after the old lady dies, these fields will not have his share...... By the way, Han Wa'er, my mother thinks you are quite capable, don't bully your brother in the future......"

Maybe it's because the Shen family has happened too much in the past few years, the brothers don't get along, the Shen family is broken, and she has to fight openly and secretly to make her feel tired, and she is very worried that her children will be like this in the future.

"Mother, don't worry, I will treat my younger brothers and sisters as the closest people in the future." Shen Xi said with a smile.

"Your sister is going to marry in the future, so she needs you to hurt her? In the past, when my mother first entered your Shen family, your uncles were also very good to your father, but who didn't have a daughter-in-law? I'm afraid that you will marry a wife in the future......" Zhou said this, and suddenly realized something, "Oh, what kind of talk is it with you, the old lady went to Dai'er and said, go and do your homework!" ”

It turned out that Zhou thought that in order to make her children harmonious, she must first cultivate Lin Dai, the "eldest sister-in-law", after all, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, if Lin Dai is kind-hearted, the rest of her children can follow her.

As a result, Lin Dai was found by the Zhou family in a daze and instilled a great principle of three obedience and four virtues.

Lin Dai listened to these words that she didn't quite understand, her eyes were full of doubts, and she could only look at Shen Xi for help.

Shen Xi spread his hands, meaning that the old lady wants to find you, and I can't help it.

Lin Dai glared at Shen Xi and continued to listen to Zhou's chatter.

At this time, Xie Yun'er came out of the backyard warehouse and said with a smile: "What about my sister teaching her daughter-in-law?" ”

Zhou replied casually: "No, I must teach my daughter-in-law well, and my sister will have children in the future...... The younger sister should also teach her younger siblings well. ”

Zhou realized that he was speechless halfway through speaking, Xie Yun'er is nearly twenty years old now, and she is not married at this age, so she can be called an "old girl".

Xie Yun'er didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "They are all sisters, why should they avoid taboos?" Say what to say, I don't want to be an old aunt in the future......"

She said this, but brought Hui Niang in. Xie Yun'er looked around and was relieved to make sure that Hui Niang was not in the pharmacy.

In the past few days, in addition to buying a field and a house for herself and the Zhou family in Zhang Luo, Hui Niang also spent money to help Xie Yun'er buy the courtyard where the Xie family lived as a gift for sisterhood.

Hui Niang's recruitment is very effective, Xie Yun'er is far less restrained than when she first came, and after the flood receded this time, the screen blocking the sitting hall was also removed, and she concentrated on being the third shopkeeper of the pharmacy.

Among the three sisters in the pharmacy, the happiest is the Zhou family, with a husband and children by her side, Shen Xi still has the opportunity to win glory for her.

These are all things that Hui Niang and Xie Yun'er can't envy.
