Chapter 43 The Great Cause of the Second Son

"Greetings to the owner!" Ge Zhuangtou is a shrewd-looking old man, in fact, he is only in his fifties, and when he heard that this young man is the owner, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The original owner is a kind-hearted, collecting forty percent of the rent, and not harsh on the miscellaneous taxes next to it, the miscellaneous trees on the mountain are cut down as firewood with everyone, and the lotus root in the water is also contracted to his family, the climate in the Jiangnan region is pleasant, although the farming is hard, life is still passable, but I don't know what the new owner will do.

"Get up!" Lin Shaoxuan saw that no one knelt down, so he hurriedly called him up.

Lin Shaoxuan has farmed, but that was in his previous life, when he was a child, he saw the most tractors plowing the fields and harvesting rice and wheat, and I really don't know what people will do at this time.

Lin Shaoxuan talked with Ge Zhuangtou while walking, and walked to the edge of the field. The rice field was already green, and there were men and healthy women in the fields, all barefoot and didn't know what they were busy with.

"How many months can I get it?"

"Go back to the owner, when the year is good, the cold dew can be harvested."

"Do you want to grow wheat?" Wheat seeds were popularized in the ancient Tang and Song dynasties, but this time and space is different from the history he knows after all, Lin Shaoxuan wants to ask clearly.

When Ge Zhuangtou heard him ask, he thought he had met an insider. Wheat seeds have just come at this time, and there are not many people who plant them, but everyone who has tried them has gained sweetness, and their Zhuangzi is also planning to plant it this year.

Seeing the hesitation of the head of the village, Lin Shaoxuan thought that he didn't know the benefits of planting wheat, so he simply ordered directly: "Let's start planting this year, and the land rent is still the same as before." In addition, my son also wants to expand a flower field, to recruit some people from your village who can plant flowers, both men and women, one or two silver per month, you first help me to ask who is willing to come. ”

Ge Zhuangtou heard him say that the land rent was still the same, and he put down a big stone in his heart, and then heard that he had to recruit flower farmers, and the monthly money he gave was also high, so he was even more happy, and immediately patted his chest to pack the ticket, and he must find the right person for the master's family.

Both men and women can do it, his wife and little girl like to play with flowers and plants when they are fine, and if they are both selected, they will have two taels of silver a month.

Dozens of families in Zhuangzi all planted the land of the main family, and the women would also go to the fields to help when they were busy with farming, and they would weave and embroider at home in their spare time. Everyone is doing well, and he is worry-free when he does it.

Ge Zhuang thought about the silver, and saw that Lin Shaoxuan became more and more pleasing to the eye, and his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

"Okay, you go first, I'll take a look, you ask someone to prepare a meal, and we'll talk while eating at noon."

Lin Shaoxuan sent Ge Zhuangtou away and walked towards the mountains and forests.

"Fubo, you stay here for a day, I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, there are a few things you can arrange for me."

"Second son, you command." Fu Bo is not old yet, his legs and feet are very neat, and it is not ambiguous to follow Lin Shaoxuan to walk the ridge into the mountains and forests. He was already very satisfied with this Zhuangzi, and he didn't know what else Gongzi would do.

"Tomorrow I will ask a few people to cut down all the miscellaneous trees, plant some orange trees, lemons, camphor, and osmanthus flowers, and tell people to level the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, and dig out the drainage ditch, which I will use to make a flower field. I'll write you a list and make a sketch of it, and you can do it. ”

Lin Shaoxuan said as he walked, and he looked like he was pointing out the country. Although Zhuangzi is small, it is the starting point of his career, and it must be built well. He already has a plan for this Zhuangzi, woodland, flower fields, greenhouses, pearl mussel farming, everything needs people, and he now has a talent crisis.

Alas, it seems that the most lacking talent in any century is talent!

Everything he wants to do needs to be kept secret, and it's really not good if he doesn't have his own people. What to do? I don't know if the craftsman can buy it like a little girl.

"Fu Bo, is there a craftsman in the tooth shop to sell it?" In this era, there is no way to sign any confidential non-compete agreement with others, and the best way to keep it secret is to take the identity deed and let them become their own people.

"There are no craftsmen who specialize in selling them, but there are occasional craftsmen who have committed crimes and are sold, and if you want to buy them, you have to wait for the opportunity." Fu Bo knew Lin Shaoxuan's business plan, which was too profitable, and he really needed some people.

"The old slave will say hello to the familiar tooth shop, ask them to pay attention to me, and if you have one, please pick it."

"Good!" Lin Shaoxuan nodded and walked around his territory.

Well, the terrain is high and sandy, which is very suitable for growing rose jasmine.

It's all cedars, so don't move it.

Spruce does not need, just cut down to build a house.

Lin Shaoxuan was planning in his heart, lunch was prepared over there, and Ge Zhuangtou came to invite.

Fresh fish, tender lotus root, old hen, and a few newly picked vegetables, Lin Shaoxuan ate very beautifully, and Ge Zhuangtou was also very satisfied, not satisfied with the meal, but satisfied with the new owner.

The wasteland under the hillside was full of sand and gravel, and no one wanted to ask for it, so the new owner paid 30 yuan a day to hire people to call it all open. The miscellaneous trees, thirty wen a day, were all cut down, and everyone took them home to be used as firewood. A large workshop was to be built on a large open space to the west, and the farmers were busy again.

The new owner is good, kind and willing to spend money, and the life of such an owner will definitely get better and better, and when she has saved enough dowry, she will go to the city to find a good family for the little girl, don't let her suffer with her again.

The wine was hot, Ge Zhuangtou called all three sons to salute, patted his chest and promised that as long as the owner said a word, he would arrange the manpower and ensure that everything was done properly.

"Fu Bo, I'll go back later, you discuss with Ge Zhuangtou, according to what I wrote in the plan, and arrange for someone to do it. You don't have to watch here, I'll take the opportunity to see what this head is capable of. ”

Fu Bo took the piece of paper and looked at it, and there were a few lines of words written crookedly on it, which were exactly the few things he had just said when he checked Zhuangzi. The picture is drawn with charcoal, and it looks exquisite, which is the word...... Alas, this second son has a good brain, why can't he study well, look at what is written!

"Childe, you just have to go back if you have something, don't use it to pick it up, the old slave will ask Zhuang Tou to send me back after he finishes tomorrow."

Fu Bo now admires Lin Er Gongzi from the bottom of his heart. Why, naturally, I believed in his big fool. What short-term planning, medium and long-term planning, talent reserve, technology research and development, mom, Faber has never heard of these many theories in his life.

Anyway, I gave up this old bone to accompany the second son to go crazy, and I also left a name on Li Erfucheng.

The second son was full of wine and food, and returned to Xing'er Hutong in the car, leaving Fu Bo, who had been beaten with chicken blood, to be busy there.

Jinyu, although he can't see him every day, as long as he invites himself, he will definitely come. Lin Shaoxuan's heart was stable, and he was no longer spinning around like a headless fly before. After this grounding, he has already understood his heart, and there is only Jinyu in that heart.

The prefect's yamen is as deep as the sea, and the second son of Lin is not allowed to enter the door, so he wants to compete with Jinyu in a grand manner, and he can only hurry up to improve his social status. The son of a wealthy merchant, how can this title be compared to the richest man in the city or even the richest forester in the Great Song Dynasty?

Hmph, soil buns, don't blame Second Master Lin for having a black heart, who told the master to do things that you can't even dream of, prepare the silver and wait for the master to slaughter it!

Hey, hey, the second and third children brought in a few glass plates.

"Master, the glass has been bought, where do you see it for you?"

"Put it next door to the perfume workshop in the backyard."

A square glass plate costs a tael of silver, and the workers of the glass mill still look at them like fools, wondering why they buy so much at once.

At that time, the glass firing process had just been introduced, and everyone used it to make screens and handicrafts at most, and no one had ever thought of making windows, let alone making mirrors, what Lin Shaoxuan wanted to do today was a glass mirror.

The glass plate was flattened, tin foil was spread, and mercury was poured on it, and Lin Shaoxuan laughed three times.

A piece of glass, you pit me a tael of silver? Master, I move my fingers a little and it is a hundred times the price!

"Master, Mrs. Ya invites you over." Lin Shaoxuan was proud, waiting for a month to take the mirror and count the silver, when he suddenly heard a call outside the door.

This little girl was a little reluctant when she first came, but now that she has seen the world in the shop, she is very energetic to do her work, and her attitude towards Lin Ergongzi is much better.

"Got it, I'll go." Lin Shaoxuan washed his hands carefully, and then locked the door to find Xinya. Mercury was poisonous, and he didn't want to die.

"Brother, say hello to my brother!" Xinya sat in the embroidery building and waited for him, and took out an account book as soon as they met.

"Guess how much money Bao Xiangzhai has earned in the past few days!"

"Haha, with my sister in charge, it's not a daily profit!"

The hydrosol was renamed "Rose Fairy Dew", and the difference of one word immediately became much taller. Only 30 bottles are sold a week, with Xinya, a live model, and the endorsement of the prefect's daughter, the business is not too good, and a bottle of ten taels of silver is also snatched up.

Those who didn't buy it came, and most of them who couldn't buy Xianlu would buy something else, and Bao Xiangzhai's business was very prosperous these days.

It's not the end of the month yet, Xinya is not here to repay the account today, she has already set her eyes on Lin Shaoxuan's perfume, but Jinyu had an accident before, and she has never found a chance to speak.

"Brother, can you give me another bottle of perfume?"

What the? Want perfume? The bottle I gave you is enough for a year, and you want it now?

Lin Shaoxuan looked at Xinya suspiciously: "Are you running out?" ”

"It's not used up, there are many more. The perfume was so fragrant that many ladies and ladies asked me, but I didn't dare to tell them. I wanted to ask for a bottle for Cong Lang. ”

It turned out that although Yuan Xinya was accepted by Zhao Cong as an outer room, the two places were separated, and he was always worried that he would forget about him. That Zhao Cong has a sister who has been elected to the palace for many years, and is now a concubine. Isn't Zhao Cong competing with his second brother for the position of the prince, Xinya thought about finding something new to please the concubine, and asked her to help Zhao Cong say something, and after thinking about it, she hit Lin Shaoxuan's perfume.

She also knew that the production of this perfume was not much, there were only a few bottles in total, but she was a little woman from a Qinglou, how could she have anything to get her hands on, only this perfume was precious, so she cheekily asked Lin Shaoxuan for it.

Perfumes, perfumes...... How could Lin Shaoxuan forget such a profiteering thing? It's just that the yield of this thing is really low, and he originally planned to make some light incense to sell it first.

For the concubine Niangniang, how can you say that there is none? As long as she likes it, she can immediately take the high-end route.

"Okay, my sister's business is my business. Tomorrow, I'll make something good later, and I'll give it to you tomorrow with perfume. ”
