The place where the ash worms are stocked in Fuguoxi is a halfway up the mountainside in the mountains, a simple thatched house is built against the mountain, with a bamboo forest in front and back, and a fence in front of and behind the house. There is a stream not far away, the stream trickles, flows here, is blocked by a rocky embankment, and merges into a small pool, the water in the pool is extremely clear, and you can see all kinds of small fish swimming happily in the pool.

Living here, in addition to the Fuguo Xi family of five, there are also four of Fuguo Xi's wife and brother's family, two families of nine people live here, to raise ash worms as the main business, in addition to the collection of medicinal materials. Harvesting medicinal materials is the traditional strength of Fujia, and Fuguoxi did not let go of this start-up business.

Ash worms breed and spit wax and harvest wax flowers between March and August, the busiest is between March and April and August to collect wax and boil wax for two or three months, and most of the other time is left alone. Picking medicinal materials is also busy for a while and idle for a while. But the two families don't seem to be idle all year round.

In addition to planting a large number of parasitic trees for ash insects in the spring every year, such as ash trees, privet trees, etc., the two families also reclaimed a piece of land in the east and west on the hillside, not only planting some four-season vegetables, but also planting soybeans, to Mao Geng's surprise, they also planted cotton, but they are not called cotton, called Jibei. At this time, the flowers of Jibei are in full bloom, and they will be spit out about a short time.

Mao Geng thinks that in such a beautiful place, it is actually not bad to be a farmer.

Of course, Mao Geng regrets the backward consumption consciousness of the two Fuguo tin, it is said that the stocking of ash insects to collect ash in this era is still a profiteering industry, the price of ash is several times the price of beeswax, beekeeping has to prevent stinging, and ash insects are harmless to humans and animals, and it is very easy to reproduce, such a large mountain stocking ash insects, Mao Geng roughly to Fuguo Railway to settle accounts, not to mention that a year to enter two or three hundred yuan, not to mention the collection of medicinal materials, but Fuguo Xi guards the nine broken houses, and does not build a house with blue bricks and black tiles, It's really hard to pick the door.

Fu Guoxi is the youngest in the Fu family, but he is also nearly forty years old, and he has two sons and two daughters under his knees, the eldest daughter Fu Zhi is married, the eldest son Fu Shen is seventeen years old, the youngest son Fu Gui is fourteen years old, and the youngest daughter Fu Zhen is only ten years old. The four children are all named according to the name of the medicine, taking the Ganoderma lucidum's Zhizhi, the ginseng of ginseng, the Angelica Gui, and the privet's Zhen.

Fu Guoxi married the Han family woman Tan, Tan's eldest brother Tan Songzhu is nearly fifty years old, has four daughters and one son, the Tan family is old and has children, the youngest son Tan Jixue is only nine years old, three of the four sisters have been married, and the youngest daughter Tan Wangdi is only thirteen years old.

These two families are kind people, Fuguo Xi has always been respectful to the eldest sister, so he took special care of Mao Geng, and specially vacated a good room to let Mao Geng live, in addition to specially playing some wild things such as hares and muntjacs, which can be regarded as a treat for Mao Geng.

For the first two nights, Mao Geng was very unaccustomed to the smell of Chinese medicine, and from time to time there was the sound of dogs barking, which was said to be the warning sound of a conscientious watchdog to all kinds of visitors at night, including wild boars, and Mao Geng was almost sleepless for two days in a row. Fu Guoxi saw it in his eyes, so he adjusted the medicine for calming and sleeping with Mao Geng, and Mao Geng slept peacefully on the third day.

When I couldn't sleep two nights ago, I thought over and over again, I wanted to farm well in this mountain, plan a plan B plan c thought of countless plans, the first plan is to build a house by myself, even if it is a bamboo building, it is not a way to smell the smell of Chinese medicine every day, in addition, if you live out, you have to stay up late at night or something, and it will not affect the Tan family.

Mao Geng imagined building a bamboo building near the stream, and the bamboo bushes in front of the door and behind the house were dotted to create a landscape ink painting, which he had thought about in his dreams. It's a pity that I can't touch the qin, if I can stroke the qin, and stroke the qin in the shadow of the bamboo curtain, the demeanor of Wei and Jin must be like this.

Then he laughed at himself, he is just a fugitive now, it would be good to have a place to hide, and it is a fool's dream to be vassalage in such a situation.

It's better to follow the local customs, and don't be busy at this time, wait for the limelight to pass.

is new to the city, and Mao Geng is not the kind of person who can speak well, so it is inevitable that they will get along a little jerky at first. Fuguo Xi also spoke very little, Tan Xiuzhu almost didn't see him speak, the two housewives seemed more enthusiastic, and they were only polite, but Fugui, Fuzhen and Tan Jixue quickly became familiar with Mao Geng.

From the mouths of Fugui, Fuzhen and Tan Jixue, Mao Geng learned that Tan Xiuzhu was originally a Langzhong, but he accidentally misdiagnosed and diagnosed a dead person, this thing is also common, just lose some money, but the other party is a local strong background, and he used the topic to "carry the corpse" to Tan Langzhong's house, not to say that Tan Langzhong harmed people's lives, this move was of course intended to extort a large amount of money, but Tan Langzhong's family has long been down, where can they deal with this kind of strong beam's opportunity to blackmail. Later, thanks to the help of Fuguo Xi, who supplied medicinal materials to his family, this matter was settled, Tan Langzhong's sister was grateful for Fuguo Xi's chivalrous heart, so she married Fu Guoxi, and Tan Langzhong could no longer practice medicine in the local area, so he also lived with Fu Guoxi and made a living of collecting medicinal materials together.

Later, Kang Yuliang and Fuguo Xi occasionally talked about stocking ash insects to harvest ash, and the two families started to make a living by stocking ash insects.

Only then did Mao Geng know that the shareholding cooperation in this year is called Liancai Heben. At the same time, I also sighed that it is not that everything is fine without asking about politics. In fact, there are many uncomfortable places to be a grass farmer.

Fugui took Mao Geng to see the ash worm, at this time the ash worm has begun to spit wax, the ash worm is as small as a flea, a finger long branch can inhabit hundreds of small ash worms, the ash worm sucks the sap, spit out the ash silk, little by little, until finally the whole branch is full of ash, the branch will look like a layer of hoarfrost from a distance, but at this time it has not yet reached that Cheng dù, until August when the wax flowers are harvested, it is full of "hoarfrost", there is a different scenery.

On the fourth day, the fat man Fuguo Railway brought a horse team to the mountains, transported tobacco charcoal, white mud, and in addition, brought a surprise to Mao Geng.

Fuguo Tie wiped the sweat on his face, and in front of Fuguo Xi, handed Mao Geng a bunch of people, and said:

"Mr. Mao, this is the meeting brought to you by the eldest sister, it is about a hundred times, this is what you deserve, you take it first. The eldest sister said that if you divide three or seven, you will get seven. This is the money that has been divided in advance, and there should be more after calculating the accounts. That's the case, Xu Zhixian wants to order 1o8 sets of wax paper engraved all kinds of things in one go, of which eight sets are the county's own, it is said that 20 sets will be sent to Shaozhou Mansion, 30 sets will be sent to Changsha, and 50 sets will be sent to Lin'an. Stencil paper, ink, steel plate iron pen and mimeograph machine must be complete, a set of wax paper to a hundred sheets, ink to two boxes, I according to your meaning out of a high price, nine dollars! Originally, I thought that it would be good for Xu County to give a price of six or seven yuan at most, but I didn't want Xu County Ling to say nothing, so he immediately ordered his brother-in-law to give nine hundred and seventy-two yuan. That's a good deal, isn't it? It's just that 1o8 sets will be delivered within ten days, and the goods must be tight, and Mr. Mao will have to plan together. ”

As soon as Mao Geng heard it, he said in his heart that good things are coming, this Xu County Order is really generous, and this person's future is limitless! What a good investment! - Well, it can also be called speculation, if the officials of the Great Song Dynasty do not reuse such considerate courtiers with a sacred heart, then there is no heavenly reason.

Fuguo Xi was particularly surprised when he heard this, the wax paper engraving is not clear to others, Fu Guoxi is no longer clear, according to the price of the Great Song Dynasty at this time, the cost of a brick house is also ten dollars, Xinhua is less than two stones of rice, and Lin'an is only four times. Oh, a set of wax paper engraving tools and materials will be nine times, just those few things, among which the wax paper itself will make zuò, actually to nine times, there is really no reason!

"Nine runs! That's too expensive, isn't it? Fu Guoxi, a person who rarely expresses his opinions, couldn't help but sigh.

Mao Gengxin said that this is still merciful to his subordinates, okay! Originally, according to their original meaning, they wanted to quote more than ten times directly, but then they thought about it, and then they thought about it, after all, the wax paper engraving was not high, and it was not good to force everyone to go to the cottage.

Fuguo Railway hurriedly calculated the account for Fuguo Xi:

"It's a little more expensive, and it's also a lot to make money by pricing seven times. But if you want to print a book, I asked, now to print a 16o page book, the engraving fee is at least 150 times, if you print a thick book, the engraving fee is not uncommon at all, and spend nine times to buy a set of wax paper engraving house, want to print a few books, at most buy more wax paper and ink, so compared, where is the money expensive! ”

Mao Geng smiled:

"The price of Jiuguan is a little higher, but this is the beginning, of course, the price is a little higher--- and it has to be lowered slowly. The steel plate now costs three times, you can try it, or you can reduce the cost to half of the ---, or the consistent appearance, when it is reduced to seven, or even six, it is also profitable. ”

At this time, although ironmaking in the Great Song Dynasty had been popularized, most of the iron tools were still to be made by blacksmiths, rather than the mass production mode of later generations. If the practice of mass production in later generations is followed, the cost of an engraved steel plate is about less than 100 words, and there is room to reduce the cost of steel plates.

Fu Guoxi pulled his fat fingers again, counted the accounts, and said:

"It is difficult to reduce the cost of wax paper, a good page of leather paper costs two pennies, but also to print lattices, to dip wax, at least a hundred must be sold consistently! There are also mimeograph machines that have to be sold twice, and two boxes of ink have to be sold consistently, at most reduced to six. ”

Mao Geng couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Fu Guoxi's bargaining look, and reminded:

"That's a matter for the future, it's better to make --- one hundred and eight sets first, it's serious!"

Fuguo Tie nodded again and again, he came for this.

In the end, Fuguo Xi was assigned the task of making wax paper, and the original wax workshop was upgraded to a wax paper workshop.

And Mao Geng believes that the mimeograph machine dedicated to the Song Dynasty should be a little exquisite, so Mao Geng wants to come up with an upgraded version of the mimeograph machine design, but he has to find a skilled carpenter to go up the mountain to cooperate, of course, it is best to have a blacksmith, in addition to various materials.

I easily made 1oo yuan of money, and the first pot of gold was in hand! 1oo money is equivalent to a quarter of the annual income of Xu County, if you want to build a house, you can build ten brick houses, and you can finally join the petty bourgeoisie of the Great Song Dynasty, congratulations!

Mao Geng feels that the routine of making money through farming is decent, and relying on technology to improve his economic strength can be called dignified. While feeling very satisfied, Mao Geng decided that from now on, he would insist on taking the route of high-quality products, making high-quality products, and making the most refined high-quality products in the Great Song Dynasty.
