Chapter 16: The Road to Riches
Coming out of Penglai Pavilion, Qin Hao was a little drunk, with his amount of alcohol, it was difficult for him to get drunk when he originally drank this kind of low-alcohol wine, but he really wanted to get drunk tonight, he wanted to use alcohol to soak his heart hard, so that he would not be soft-hearted when he killed people.

Although Lai Baye is a good drinker, his alcohol consumption is really not good, but today's Lai Baye is like a hanger, no matter how he drank, he didn't get drunk until he sent Qin Hao away, and then he took those scoundrels to Dongcheng.
Qin Hao looked at their backs, a grim smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and when he left Dengzhou Mansion, he saw Tian Xiaoqian following behind him from a distance.
It was originally a quick thing to quarrel with Tian Xiaoqian, but today Qin Hao really didn't feel that mood, so he went straight back to the City God Temple, came to the corner of the wall, took out all the copper coins and gun barrels, and then returned to the thatched house at the bottom of the mountain.
The thatched house was very quiet, and Qin Di could not be seen playing with a spinning top in the yard, nor could he see the old hens that were clucking, and the Qin family gathered neatly in the yard, and no one said a word.
Qin Hao walked over, saw his mother and his own parents, and then stood respectfully at the bottom, quietly waiting for Old Qintou's lecture.
"Hao'er, the gentleman of the school didn't lie to us, you can earn fifteen yuan in three days, which means that you are the extraordinary person, and the grandfather still hopes that you can go back to the school to continue your education!" Facing Qin Hao, Old Qin Tou still wanted to make a final effort.
Qin Hao handed over all the copper coins on his body to the Qin Wang family, and said respectfully to the old Qin head: "Grandpa, all the elders here, it's not that Qin Hao is stubborn, but that Qin Hao is really thinking about the Qin family, and he can really let the Qin family's Mengtong study within three months." ”
Speaking of this, he pulled Qin Di over, and then pulled the bare-ass child of the third aunt's family to his side, and continued, "Elders, look at it, the descendants of our Qin family are all ghosts and spirits, if they are given the same opportunity, who may not be able to achieve their achievements above Qin Hao." ”
People are selfish, and it was really helpless to use the strength of the entire Qin family to provide Qin Hao with one person to study, because they really couldn't afford to provide a second person to study.
Now they have this opportunity in front of them, so that their children can also go to school, the same literacy, in the hearts of parents, everyone thinks that their children are the smartest.
Qin Hao is right, if they are given the same opportunity to study, who said that there can't be another Qin Hao?
Although Qin Hao's withdrawal from school disappointed them, Qin Hao's promise made them see a greater hope, and after contemplating for a while, Old Qin Tou said slowly: "Baby, can you really let them all go to school?" ”
"Of course!" Qin Hao replied very affirmatively, without the slightest hesitation, as a modern person, even if his knowledge was all taught by the physical education teacher, he also said that there was no pressure to send these dozen or so little children to the school.
The second grandfather, who had not spoken, interjected at this time: "Hao'er, when Master Tian gave the copper money today, he said that the matter of drying salt will be handed over to our Qin family to be responsible, and he will give us some wages as usual, but what makes the second grandfather wonder is that such a good thing as salt drying should be given to the Tian family?" ”
Without waiting for Qin Hao to answer, the third aunt also echoed: "Your second grandfather asked very much, even if we haven't made salt before, but with you here, we will definitely be able to make high-quality salt, why worry that our old Qin family can't be rich?" ”
In response to everyone's questions, Lao Qin waved his hand and said: "Don't blame Hao'er, Hao'er has his own reasons for doing this, hand over the salt-making method to Master Tian, and in the future, it will not be bad for the descendants of our Qin family to work and eat in the salt farm." ”
Qin Hao didn't take the family's doubts to heart, but smiled lightly: "What the second grandfather and the third aunt question is that in fact, Qin Hao's purpose in doing this is just to find a way to live for the Qin family, not a dead end!" ”
"Dead end?" When Qin Hao said this, everyone present didn't understand what he meant, and they were all surprised.
Qin Hao nodded and said: "That's right, since ancient times, salt and iron have been controlled by the imperial court, and their profits are immeasurable, and it is precisely because of this that we can't take this method of making salt for ourselves." ”
Old Qin Tou stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and said approvingly: "The baby is right, the gentleman is not guilty, and the grandfather still knows the truth of his guilt, with the current strength of our Qin family, even if we have this method of making salt, we can't keep it." ”
"Moreover, without the salt introduction of the government, even if we make salt, we can't sell it, rather than this, it is better to hand over this method of salt production to Master Tian, and Master Tian will naturally take good care of the Qin family while making huge profits!"
Qin Hao was really a little impressed by the words of the old Qin Tou, because what he just said was exactly what he was thinking, so he immediately took over the topic and said: "What Grandpa said is exactly what Qin Hao's original intention. ”
Old Qin Tou nodded, looked at Qin Hao with burning eyes, and continued to ask: "Baby, you have always sworn to let all the sons and daughters of the Qin family study within three months, could it be that there are other ways to be rich and noble in your heart?" ”
Qin Hao saw that everyone was slowly gathering the topic on the way to get rich, indicating that they had slowly accepted the reality of dropping out of school, so he immediately nodded and said, "That's right, Hao'er does have a way to get rich here, and everyone needs to work together." ”
Speaking of which, go back and ask Qin Di to find a broken clay pot, first pour in the tung oil used to light the lamp at home, and then pour some things like plant ash caustic soda, and then put it on the fire and boil it slowly.
With the evaporation of water, the things in the crockpot slowly turned into lumps, and when the items cooled, he took out a piece of it, handed it to Lao Qintou's hand and said, "Grandpa, try washing your hands with this kind of thing, and see how it works?" ”
Looking at the dirty thing in front of him, although Lao Qin Tou felt a little puzzled, he still cleaned his hands in the way of Qin Hao's professor, and it was strange to say that this slippery and greasy thing was very clean when he wiped it on his hands.
Qin Hao looked at the surprised old Qin Tou, and then explained: "This thing is called soap, its function is similar to the pancreas we use now, but the effect is ten times that of the pancreas, but the thing we want to really sell is not this." ”
"It's not this, what's that?" The Qin family was surprised when they saw that Qin Hao had gone to great lengths to get such a thing, but now they said that it was not such a thing.
Qin Hao took the soap from Old Qin's hand, and then said: "What we want to sell is not called soap, but soap, that is, add some spices to this soap, and then sell these soaps to those rich families." ”
"A rich family? Why can't these things be sold to civilians? I think ordinary people need these things even more! For Qin Hao's words, Old Qin Tou felt very incomprehensible.
"Because this thing can only be produced by our Qin family, and the Qin family has limited manpower and insufficient production capacity, we can only take the high-end route, this piece of soap, sell it for one or two silver, more than enough!"
"A piece of soap, a tael of silver? Hao'er, you're not selling, you're robbing! ”
"Robbery?" Qin Hao smiled faintly, "Rob it, rob it, anyway, if you don't rob the rich people's money, you won't rob it in vain!" ”
