Everyone knows that the Zhou family has flourished in just two years, at first it was only a poor farmer, but now it is the richest man in Baiyue Village. If all the Zhou family's property is counted, including the textile workshop, the Zhou family will be counted as a wealthy household in the entire Gaochang Town.

Among the people present, Fan Jin, Wei Haogu, Qiu Haolan, and the three of them are all middle-class families, and they live a more prosperous life, but they are not rich. Che Lang, Lu Xingchuan, and Feng Mao's family background is better. Especially Che Lang and Feng Mao, their two families are considered wealthy families, and they are slightly better than Zhou Zhi's family. But both the Che family and the Feng family are the result of the hard work of several generations. If it continues to develop like this, according to the development momentum of the Zhou family, it will definitely surpass the two of them.

As for the Yue family in Baiyue Village, they are considered landlords, but now they are worse than the Zhou family.

Everyone knows that the Zhou family has been able to have such earth-shaking changes in the past two years entirely because of Zhou Zhi's contributions.

When the Zhou family was poor, Zhou Zhi planted vegetable greenhouses in the harsh winter, which was a fresh thing, and their family caught the first pot of gold. After that, the Zhou family was the first to make vermicelli fans and the like, which also made the Zhou family make a small fortune. After that, I heard that Zhou Zhi made a special snack of donkey meat in Baoding Mansion, and there was a lot of income in a year. Zhou Zhi won the small three yuan in the exam, and even won the eight thousand taels of silver from Boye Liu Long. The Zhou family immediately opened a textile workshop.

Observing all this, all of them are Zhou Zhi and intelligent, and his thinking is ahead of others.

The Zhou family is doing profitable business, but Zhou Zhi now said that there is a matter of losing money to discuss with everyone, and everyone was stunned and hesitated.

Seeing that everyone was depressed, Zhou Zhi smiled bitterly in his heart. yes, who wants to do something that loses money? can make friends with people, Zhou Zhi knows these people very well, these people are all kind people, not to mention, but also known as ambitious, with friends of the people in their hearts.

Zhou Zhi expected that he would get their support for speaking out about losing money. His face became solemn in negligence, and he said, "This winter is cold, much colder than in previous years. On the way to Shulu Village today, the younger brother saw that the wheat field was covered with thick snow, and when the snow was removed, the younger brother saw that the wheat seedlings had frozen to death. If this continues, by next year, more people will freeze to death.

In this way, it seems that the people in our area will face no harvest next year.

In my younger brother's mind, the family background of a few of us and others is not bad, if we build a righteous warehouse together, or wait for the poor harvest next year to help the people in the nearby villages. ”

When Zhou Zhi said this, he stopped talking and waited to see what everyone said.

Zhou Zhi's ability to have such an idea was really beyond the expectations of those present. This week, it seems that there are people in the chest! Such a knowledgeable and intelligent person, and it seems that he has some connections in the court now, and he has the heart of the world, and it is difficult not to make a name for himself in the future!

Everyone knows very well in their hearts that in fact, such a thing as the formation of Yicang, according to the current conditions of the Zhou family, the Zhou family can do it. After all, the past two years have been smooth, and the people have produced a lot of grain, so the price of food should be very cheap now.

The reason why Zhou Zhi invited everyone was nothing more than to build Yicang bigger and benefit more farmers and people in the nearby townships. Again, in fact, the main thing is that such a thing is a good thing for fame. Zhou Zhi pulled everyone in, this is to let everyone have a good reputation.

When everyone thought about it, they couldn't help but deeply admire Zhou Zhi and be grateful to Zhou Zhi.

Although Fan Jin's family background is not too good, he first supported it and said, "Brother Zhou Zhixian's idea is good, as a scholar, and they are all talents in the nearby townships, I just want to do something for the people, and the old man is the first to support." Although the old man's family background is not as good as yours, the old man's family will not be affected by the old man's hundred taels of silver. ”

Fan Jin was actually very afraid of his wife Fan Hu at home. Van Hu has always been the head of the family. But in the face of major rights and wrongs, what Fan Jin said still worked. If he says it today, it will be done.

"Hehe, Brother Zhou Zhixian's good idea, my Yue Shuzhen also firmly supports it, I just want to follow you!" Yue Shuzhen then said.

The Yue family is not as good as the Zhou family now, and Yue Shuzhen has long lost his jealousy towards Zhou Zhi, and is full of respect. At first, he wanted to be the boss in Baiyue Village and become the leader of the scholars in Baiyue Village. But now it is clear that it is not as good as Zhouzhi, so he is willing to be second.

Hehe! Actually, it's good to get a second one.

Yue Shuzhen and Che Lang expressed their stance almost at the same time, and the rest of the people also expressed their support afterwards.

The next thing is to spread the silver, Zhou Zhi took out three hundred taels, Feng Mao three hundred taels, Che Lang three hundred taels, Lu Xingchuan two hundred taels, Yue Shuzhen two hundred taels, Fan Jin, Wei Haogu and Qiu Haolan each took out one hundred taels.

In this way, the eight men quickly scraped together 1,600 taels of silver. A hundred taels were used to form a righteous warehouse, and guards were hired, and the rest were all used to hoard grain.

As for the location, it was simply chosen in an open land of more than ten acres behind the Lu family. The Lu family now has hundreds of acres of fertile land, and the more than ten acres of open land behind it has been idle and unused.

The eight people agreed that the grain purchased in the spring could be given to the people free of charge when it was time to help them, but when the people's lives were comfortable and the grain harvest was in good times, they would still have to be recovered without interest.

Since then, the establishment of the Yicang is only to pay the wages of the management personnel.

To form a Yicang, there must be a nice name, the eight people frowned and pondered for a while, or Lao Fan Jin said, "Do you still need to think about this?" It's a great thing that we're doing, and we're all upright and gentlemen, so it's only fitting to call it 'Eight Gentlemen's Yicang'." ”

"Okay, then it's called Eight Gentlemen Yicang!" Yue Shuzhen was the first to say excitedly.

In the beginning, the Wenhui often excluded Yue Shuzhen. Now that he has the names of these eight gentlemen, Yue Shuzhen seems to have integrated into this small circle, how can he not like it?

You know, he has long seen that there is a bright future for following these people. Especially thoughtful, the future prospects are limitless.

Of course, this is just a small selfishness of Yue Shuzhen. In fact, he still appreciates and supports the establishment of Yicang and helping the people and farmers from the bottom of his heart.

Che Lang said, "Since it is called Eight Gentlemen Yicang, there should also be a person who takes the lead." The matter of Yicang was initiated by Brother Zhou Zhixian, in my opinion, let Brother Zhou Zhixian take the lead! ”

The rest of the people are also vying to recommend thoughtfully.

But Zhou Zhi blushed and waved his hand again and again, "The little brother is just the first person to propose, but he can't be the one who takes the lead." According to the younger brother, we eight gentlemen have Fan Jin as the oldest brother, so it is most suitable for Fan Jin to take the lead. ”
