Early in the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the staff of the biscuit factory came early.

The big guys were curious, what was the start of work that Luo Ying said earlier.

"Don't look at Quanfu, it's not food, it's a red envelope for each person." After Liu Yifan finished speaking, he handed over the red envelope.

Now everyone is still a little embarrassed.

Liu Dabao said: "Brother, this ...... Why give red envelopes again! ”

Erhu said: "That's it! I thought it was food, too. ”

The pillar said, "Yifan, you can take the money back!" We've got paid, and when we talk about the New Year, you've all given red envelopes, ......"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, a red envelope is also an auspicious picture, everyone work hard, this year our factory will be expanded, we will have new members to join at the beginning of the ninth year, when the time comes, a few of you are masters, you want to bring apprentices, you must bring people to me well, teach well, you old employees, this year everyone's salary will be added to 100 Wen per month!"

This is very exciting news!

Now many people in the village are jealous of this work, and now that the wages have risen again, several of them cherish it in their hearts and are more motivated.

Erhu immediately promised: "Brother Yifan, don't worry, I will do a good job!" ”

"That's it! With such a good treatment, I'm sorry for myself if I don't do it well! Quanfu said with a smile.

"Alright, then you go to work!"

Liu Yifan's words fell, and the pillars and others washed their hands and went in to work.

At that time, Liu Shunfa and Xu Chunhua came to the door,

Xu Chunhua said with a smile: "I heard that in order to save us last time, Yingzi still caught a cold, this is my mother's black chicken, just catch two for Yingzi to make up." ”

"Auntie, you are too polite." Luo Ying said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. ”

At this time, Hong's served tea and snacks.

"Hey, Yingzi, where did you buy this candy? It's so fragrant. Liu Shunfa asked, pointing to peanut candy.

Hong smiled and said, "This is made by the young grandmother herself, and you can't buy it outside." ”

When Xu Chunhua heard this, she immediately took a piece and put it in her mouth, and after chewing, her eyes lit up and she praised: "Well, it's delicious!" Yingzi is so ingenious! ”

Luo Ying smiled and said, "If you like it, eat two more pieces, and Aunt Hong will pretend to be a little bit for the eldest lady in a while, and bring it back for Sigui and Wufu to taste." ”

"Then the aunt won't be polite to you, your sister-in-law Qiaolan has it again, and she loves sweets recently."

Qiaolan in Xu Chunhua's mouth is her eldest daughter-in-law.

"That's a good thing!"

"There are more children, it's a blessing, but it's hard to raise, half of the eldest child eats Lao Tzu to death, and my family's four nobles and five blessings haven't said kiss." Liu Shunfa said, "Yingzi, we have thought about the pig farm that you and Fan Boy said before, let's follow you!" Yesterday I also inquired at my mother-in-law's house, where Xu Butcher's house, on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the sow gave birth to more than ten piglets! I also said hello to them and will keep them for us. ”

"I'm afraid a dozen heads are not enough! Shun Fa Bo, you have a wide range of ways in this regard, so you have to bother to buy more piglets and come back. After Luo Ying finished speaking, she turned her face to Yan Qing and said, "Uncle Yan, you go and invite the village chief, Uncle Xiaoyong, my uncle, and the Li family, and say that there is something to discuss with them." ”

"Okay, young grandma, I'll go and please." After speaking, Yan Qing went out.

The Xiao family and the Li family had the interest of raising pigs before, so this time in the pig farm, Liu Yifan and Luo Ying discussed that they would do it together, and the village chief didn't know if he would participate in the shares, but whether he participated or not, the village wanted to run a pig farm, he was the village head, and he should also be informed, and Liu Xiaoyong still had the intention of participating in the shares that day.

Soon, the Xiao family, the village chief's family, and the Li family, just today Li Dafeng and his wife took their children here to pay New Year's greetings, and they heard that they were going to set up a pig farm, so they also came.

Yin Zhen was also very interested in listening to them talk about this, so he and Liu Yifan stopped playing chess, and the two of them walked out of the study, everyone saw Yin Zhen, and they were uneasy, Liu Xiaoyong and the village chief were still about to kneel, Yin Zhen said: "No need to be polite, you talk about yours." ”

Although Yin Zhen said this, the village chief and the others were also worried.

At this time, Liu Yifan took the lead in speaking, relieved the atmosphere, and said: "Village Chief, Uncle Xiaoyong, do you want to participate in the shares?" ”

"Ginseng, definitely ginseng!" The village chief said categorically.

When Liu Yifan heard this, he said: "Then we have five households, first raise fifty heads, in the second half of the year we will make bacon sausages or something, and then raise more and raise more than 100 heads, what do you think?" ”

Fifty first, then one hundred, adding up to one hundred and fifteen, hearing this number, everyone took a breath!

Pigs, at least half a year to slaughter, raising such a pig at once, the more the pig eats in the future, the old man Xiao was worried, he asked: "Will it be too much?" Why don't we raise less for the first time? ”

Xiao Dashu had a different opinion, and said: "Dad, I don't think it's much, fifty pigs, on average, there are only ten of us in each family, and Fan Boy and Yingzi must have a way to sell them." ”

"Yes, if you want to do it, you can do it bigger, if you raise two or three heads in a family, we don't have to think so much." Liu Yifan said, "Grandpa, don't worry. ”

"Our family listens to Fan Boy and Yingzi, you can do what you say!" Grandpa Li said with a smile.

Last year, I made a lot of money with them, especially at the trade fair, although they only accounted for a part, but the money they earned was already beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Liu Yifan continued: "The money of a piglet is about 170 yuan, and 50 heads are eight and a half silver, and in addition, it is necessary to build a pig house, make a pig trough, etc., and it is estimated that the pig's food part and manpower investment are not counted, and the early investment should also prepare twelve taels of silver, so it is a family of two and a half silver, as for the work of the pig farm, there is one person in the family, and one or two silver is hired a month if there is no one." ”

Liu Yifan's words fell, and everyone fell into deep thought, each calculating.

The village chief thought for a while and said, "According to what the sail boy said, our family will not have a person, and we will give one or two pieces of silver." ”

Liu Yifan said to the Xiao family: "Grandpa, don't think about it, after the weather warms up, the lo-mei will begin, and there is still land to be planted at home, and we are still thinking about the expansion of chicken and duck breeding, and you can't spare your hands." ”

When the Li family heard this, they said, "That's ...... Then let's pay for it too! ”

At this time, Li Dafeng persuaded: "Uncle Xiao, don't keep thinking about doing all the work yourself. ”

Mrs. Xiao thought for a moment and said, "If you don't do it, you can't do it, the children in the family are all older, and we still want to build a house!" If you ask someone to do it, this house ......."

Liu Yifan considered that they wanted to build a house, so when they paid New Year's greetings, they gave each of the four elders of the Xiao family a red envelope of two taels of silver, which added up to eight taels, and they only needed to add a little to build a blue brick house.

"What's this? Don't you still have wages for chicken and duck farming? Use this salary to fill it, you can return to the cost in half a year, and the lo-mei can be sold in a few months, your family also has a salary in the biscuit factory, and the greenhouse vegetables can be sold immediately, which is full of money! The more Li Dafeng said, the more envious he became, and at the same time regretted it, thinking that his mother had sent a message to him and let him follow the greenhouse vegetables, they all thought it was a fantasy, but now when they look at the greenhouse, they have the heart to commit suicide.

The Xiao family was finally moved, so they finally discussed and decided that each family would give Liu Shunfa one tael of silver per month, and Liu Shunfa would be responsible for feeding and cleaning the pig farm.

Just while Li Duofu was also there, the matter of building a pigsty was also handed over to him.

Li Dafeng smiled and said, "Oops! Last year, Tuo Yingzi's blessing made money and had a fat year, and this year seems to have a good start again! ”

This year, the Li family wants to build a house, the Xiao family wants to build a house, and this is to build a pigsty, and the men of the Li family have been working for half a year.

After a little more small talk, they dispersed.

Yin Zhen said: "It seems that doing business is not necessarily a bad thing! ”

Luo Ying said: "Doing business is not a bad thing, and it is not right for the imperial court to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. ”

"Bold!" Ah San stood up and reprimanded.

After saying this, Luo Ying regretted it, this is not a modern freedom of speech, Luo Ying's words to them have the meaning of questioning the imperial power.

When Yin Zhen heard this, his brows frowned slightly, but he didn't get angry, but said calmly: "Tell me, what's wrong?" If everyone goes into business, who will plant the land? Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are sufficient and knows honor and disgrace, there is no food, foreign invasion or natural disasters, do you know what it will be like? ”

When Liu Yifan heard this, he smiled and said: "Lord Yin, you think too much, do you think that everyone can do business and have the capital to do business?" ”

Yin Zhen was stunned, and even Xiao Yu was shocked by the words of the couple.

No matter which dynasty, Shang is always the last.

Yin Zhen hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Yifan said: "I think everything is complementary to each other, for example, my biscuits to use flour, then flour is bound to be planted, the more we sell biscuits, the more raw materials we want, the market demand, there will be people to plant, and the production of biscuits also needs a lot of people to do, which means that we have to hire people, please pay wages, workers have income, even if the family has less land and more population, they can fill their stomachs, and even improve their lives, people's living standards have improved, in order to be like adults said, food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace." ”

When Yin Zhen heard this, his heart was shocked.

At this time, Luo Ying told Yin Zhen about the role of business in the national economy again, and Yin Zhen and Xiaoyu who listened were dumbfounded.

"Anyway, it's all important, we have to do a good balance, it's not right to blindly focus on agriculture and suppress business, don't talk about it, I'll cook." AFTER LUO YING FINISHED SPEAKING, HE GOT UP AND TURNED AROUND AND LEFT.

"Lady, I'll help you."

At this time, Yin Zhen hadn't come back to his senses yet, and after a long time, he asked, "Xiao Yu, have you ever seen her master?" ”

"I haven't seen it."

Yin Zhen deeply regretted it, now he is becoming more and more curious about Luo Ying's master, what kind of person can teach such an apprentice? and Liu Yifan, this kid is a manufacturable material, but it's ...... What's the matter with a woman around?

Yin Zhen returned to the room, repaired a book, and sent it back to the capital, as for the content......
