Chapter 62 A Journey Is Imminent A Ride Comes to Visit
It took a while for the atmosphere in the room to calm down, and when things were settled, everyone was beaming.
On the other hand, Xiang Bo thought of something else, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Since there are four villages that can be sold, how to use the salt in the cave and how to mix it together." β
Speaking of this, Zhu Da's father leaned forward, his face was excited, now it is a market in four villages, if you add rock salt, which has almost no capital, the profits will really skyrocket.
After the two adults finished speaking, they all looked at Zhu Da, and Zhu Da also said bluntly: "Don't sell the rock salt first, you have the territory of four villages at once, there must be a lot of people staring inside and out, and it is easy to see if there is anything wrong, besides, these four villages can definitely make a lot of money." β
"That's the truth, it's just that it's unwilling to make money if you don't make it!" Juda's father nodded.
Zhu Da smiled and said: "As long as you look at that cave, the salt can't be broken if you put it inside, you can use it anyway." β
What should be said is decided, Xiang Bo pointed to the chickens and ducks that had quieted down and said: "You take these back and raise them, the old man can't serve them." β
These dozen or so are hens and ducks that can lay eggs, eggs and duck eggs can replenish the body and can be bought and sold for money and things, and they can lay eggs for a few years after feeding, and they are considered very decent property in the city and countryside.
When he came back, it was already dark, and it was already late after discussing this, Zhu Da's parents took half of the goods they had received and went home happily to rest, but Zhu Da deliberately stayed.
"Master, as soon as the apprentice and Qingyun leave, there will be no one around you, and my father can't take care of it all the time, the apprentice thinks that the master should take in a few more apprentices, on the one hand, someone will help with things, and on the other hand, there will be a person to take care of daily life." Zhu Da said very sincerely.
Xiang Bo smiled and said: "Your mind is the same as that of an adult, the old man has not reached the point where he can't walk, besides, except for an elf and eccentric child like you, who would want to find an old man to be a master." β
"How could it not, my family is living a good life, Qingyun and I have a good future, from an outsider's point of view, isn't this all the credit of the master? It's just that the apprentice reminds me first, the master has to choose an honest and reliable apprentice, there are some secret things in our family. β
"Go and go, you are the master, I am the master, go back and rest, I have to go back to the Zheng family the day after tomorrow!" Xiang Bo obviously listened, and drove Zhu Da away with a smile.
When they went to bed at night, the three members of the Zhu family were very excited, but Zhu Da was silent and recalled and thought, and seemed to be asleep, passively listening to his parents whispering there.
β...... Brother Xiang is so good to our family, and Xiaoda has a future, we can't be ambiguous, let's raise ...... to Big Brother's old brother."
β...... If the salt goods in several villages are sold by the two of us, I am afraid that this field will not be busy, so we will have to find someone to ......."
β...... Uncle Xiaoda's child is not young, he is an honest man, and he can't eat enough, but he can ......"
β...... How to feed the chickens and ducks, our food may not be able to reach the spring famine......"
β...... Are you really confused, are we still worried about food? If you don't have enough to eat, go buy it, by the way, tomorrow Zhang Luoton wine and meat, please come over to eat with the eldest brother......"
The voices of the parents' discussions are not well controlled, they tend to get louder, they are excited for a happy life in the future, Juda lies there with a smile on his face, in his mind that this is not enough, he must do his best to make his parents live better.
Thinking about it, his thoughts inexplicably turned to Qin Xiucai's side, the other party wanted to accept himself to sit on the Yizi, it seemed to be very impulsive and sudden, but in fact, from the meeting, Qin Xiucai did not have any reckless behavior, every step was verified as much as possible, this Xiucai just bet relatively fast, Zhu Da fell asleep after thinking about it.
When I woke up the next morning, the north wind was noticeably stronger, the chill was gusting, winter was approaching, and everyone was saying that this year was cold early, and autumn snow was not very common.
There is no need to practice martial arts today, after breakfast, Zhu Da watched his parents pack up their things, and they wanted to go over to help and were driven back, but there was nothing to clean up, Zhu Shishi said apologetically that he would buy a good one for Zhu Da in a few months.
It is estimated that Xiang Bo is also packing Zhou Qingyun's luggage, Zhu Da pondered, it is better to catch a few fish, now that his mother can make fish, he should not lack a mouth when he goes to the Qin family, but it is always good for his parents and master to eat a few more fish to supplement nutrition.
Zhu Da simply made some fish food at home, and went to Zhou Qingyun with a fishing rod, which was similar to his judgment, Xiang Bo was tidying up, and told him to be careful and not to worry too much.
"Let's call the Li brothers and teach them how to fish."
It's really a coincidence, after saying this, I saw Li Ying and Li He coming over, and without waiting for Zhu Da to speak, Li Ying said politely: "Brother Zhu, my father invited you to come over." β
In the past, they used to call him by his name, but today he is much more polite in terms of title and attitude, Zhu Da said with a grin: "When I was a brother, I called Zhu Da, I haven't seen him for a few days, so why am I polite." β
"My father said that you have climbed up to the nobleman, you can't slack off......" Li He said angrily on the side, but Li Ying poked and stared, and didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhu Da said with a smile: "Let's talk about us, I just had to ask you to go fishing by the river and teach you how to use a fishing rod, and I won't teach you when you see you again!" β
A few days ago, they were already acquainted, but just now they seemed a lot rusty, after such a gag, there was no distance, everyone laughed together, Li Ying's age was barely an adult, Li He immediately sounded, Zhu Da didn't hide anything, but he pushed everything on Xiang Bo, saying that he met Xiang Bo's old acquaintance, so he had gifts and other things, and this explanation is acceptable to everyone.
When I arrived at Mr. Li's house, the first thing I saw was Li Chunhua, this little girl didn't dare to play any tricks on Zhu Da, but she was a little cringe, just looking at Zhu Da curiously, thinking about why there were so many changes.
Li Zongqi was waiting in the living room, he had the status of a military attachΓ© and an elder, and his attitude had not changed much, but after Zhu Da sat down, he actually ordered Li Ying to bring a bowl of tea, which made the Li brothers widen their eyes.
In Baibao Village, it is not as good as Zheng Jiaji, you can't buy anything here, you have to buy everything other than food and vegetables, the Li family's tea is used to entertain distinguished guests, ordinary people come with a bowl of hot water, I never thought that Zhu Da is this age, and he is a child of a military family under his jurisdiction, so he actually has this treatment.
"Zhu Da, the thieves have been wiped out, and the men who have been transferred have also returned, do you still want to do the patrol and repair the soil fence this night, you also know the mood of the group, and they have long complained that they are tired." General Banner Li Ji asked straight to the point.
Zhu Da groaned, but did not answer this question directly, but said: "If Lord Zongqi wants to do something, if he wants to deal with other hundred households in the future, he will not suffer a loss, and things like wall repair and practice will have to be maintained to some extent." β
"But it costs money to maintain it, and we don't have so much room for hundreds of households." According to the rules, each of the 100 households stationed in the camp should have part of the grain in stock, in fact, almost 10% of this grain belongs to the 1000 households in charge, and a few percent belongs to the 100 households and the general banner, there is no public grain, just private property, now it is too peaceful and safe, it has nothing to do with itself, and it is naturally unwilling to spend more.
"It always costs money to do things, and what Lord Zongqi can rely on in a hundred households is these men in the yard, if you make these, there are still more than a dozen people, and it will be much more convenient to do things." Juda replied.
How to choose, or that Li Zongqi decided by himself, Zhu Da just pointed out two directions, as for letting the men in Baibao Village twist into a rope and become what kind of power, it is unrealistic at the moment, everyone is an isolated small family, there is no link between them, the reason why they are holding together during this period of time is nothing more than the pressure of foreign thieves and smokers, now there is no external pressure, people's hearts are scattered, and even if they can become a force, Zhu Da is not good for a teenager, and it will even hinder his parents and Uncle Xiang, So his attitude is to be a clear spectator.
Li Zongqi thought about it for a moment, just shook his head, but didn't say that he had made any decisions, but pulled the topic away: "It's really useful for you to give us hundreds of households to draw ideas, other hundred households are obedient and honest, this time they were also assigned other errands, complaining bitterly, and some people were sent to work hard and were killed and injured, only our hundreds of dozens of people were covered in thorns, and no one bothered to pay attention." β
"Lord Zongqi, this time there is also half-heartedness in the guard, so if we can get mixed up, if it is really a big event, we have to bow our heads." Zhu Da said it very clearly.
Li Zongqi nodded, pointed at Li Ying and Li He and said: "Look at Zhu Da, and then look at yourself, you must be able to have half of Zhu Da's awakening, I have not lived in vain in this life, you are about the same age, you will have to be more close in the future." β
The words are almost over, Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and the Li brothers all left, and the four of them rushed to the river, the youngest daughter of the Li family, Li Chunhua, wanted to follow, but was stopped by the family and not allowed to go out, for a girl who is more than ten years old, the river is too far.
After coming to the river, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun subconsciously avoided the location of the thief last time, and the two of them were very vigilant, when one was fishing, the other was watching the wind and watching the wind in a distant position, the Li brothers didn't realize these at all, they just watched and studied with great interest.
The fish is still very good to catch, Zhu Da caught one and asked the Li brothers to pick up the fishing rod and try it, it was not too difficult to use, plus there were too many fish in the river and it was too stupid, and it was caught after trying a few times, and the Li brothers were shouting excitedly.
This time it can be said that it is a full load, at noon the four of them were eating fish soup at Xiang Bo's house, Li He also went to the kitchen to see what Zhu Da did, Zhu Da did not hide his secrets, the two brothers of the Li family brought a few cleaned up fish, ready to go home to try.
Before dark, Zhu Da's luggage for going out had been packed, and his parents began to tell him to say a few words about what he couldn't think of, and Zhu Da could only listen, occasionally explaining with a wry smile, "I'll stay there for a few days, and I'll stay here for a few days, and it's not that I won't come back." β
It was easy to finish the instructions, and asked Zhu Da to call Xiang Bo and Zhou Qingyun to come to the house for dinner, he heard the sound of horses' hooves when he went out, there should be a person riding a horse into the village, in Zhu Da's memory, there are only two kinds of people riding into Baibao Village, one is the cavalry of the guard, and the other is the horse guard of the salt stack.
When I arrived in front of Xiang Bo's house, I found a horse parked there......
