Chapter 144: Three Advances and Three Retreats (8)
After all, this is the third time, Mo Zi lowered his eyes and meditated.
The first time, Qiu Sanniang asked her if she believed in fortune telling. If she hadn't hesitated to say the letter, there probably wouldn't have been a second temptation. In the carpentry room, Qiu Sanniang talked about shipbuilding, and if she was very happy to accept it, she wouldn't be able to survive this third time.
is willing to listen to the opinions of others in small things, but she must think through herself in major matters, and the more others say it according to her wishes, the more Qiu Sanniang will deny it. Speaking of caution, it might as well be said to be Qiu Sanniang's childhood shadow. After losing his mother at an early age, his father loved him no matter how much he loved him, after all, there was still the Zhang family on the side, and he couldn't say things directly, and he couldn't do things directly. The seemingly carefree eldest lady "> follows her father, who is in business, around in order to protect herself. This way of being a person who has to be careful, and the way of life where everything has to be planned by herself, is actually not what she wants, but forced by the environment.
However, this third time, Mo Zi knew that Qiu Sanniang had admitted the truth, but she didn't understand why. Because, compared with her previous expectations, Qiu Sanniang's decision was really a lot faster.
Mo Zi didn't think too clearly about it here, but Qiu Sanniang over there was because Wei Liuniang made such a fuss, Mo Zi was innocently implicated and she herself was dragged into the water, which made her think it out completely.
In this palace, there are old princesses and princesses, who are very kind to people on weekdays, but in fact, they have their own means. After yesterday, she saw it better than ever. A young lady "> became a nameless and pointless room, and the old princess and the princess did not have the slightest objection, and in the end they were so happy to see it. That's right, Hengzhi is Wei Liuniang's grandson who will definitely give himself to them, coupled with the financial resources of the Wei family, they can become the support of Xiao Er's future career, they have a lot of benefits, where do they really think about Wei Liuniang. If they have good intentions, how to make a fuss about Wei Liuniang, and finally commit suicide, anyway, Xiao Er has already rescued the person, insists on sending the person back to Luozhou, and has the elders of the Wei family to persuade them, and they may be able to find a good family. After a long time, people may not be stupid. It's good now, Wei Liuniang said that they don't care about the reputation, and they won't give the name.
On the other hand, she was from a similar background to Wei Liuniang, which made Wei Qiongyu take a fancy to her and became Xiao San's wife, which was actually lucky. But the elders look down on Wei Liuniang so much, and they may not treat themselves like this one day in the future. It is conceivable that if Xiao San treats herself badly, no one will stand up and say justice for her. She is now selling well with the old princess and the princess, but she doesn't know the road ahead.
So, she had to plan ahead.
"What do you think about Wei Liuniang's matter?" Qiu Sanniang suddenly diverted the topic.
Mo Zi's calculations are never unhurried, Qiu Sanniang said Wei Liuniang, she said Wei Liuniang's affairs.
"Obviously, people are not as good as heaven. I'll say it bluntly, don't be angry when grandma hears it. That Aunt Wei> why didn't she let Wei Liuniang marry Xiao Sanlang, obviously because she was afraid that Xiao Sanniang's notoriety of renouncing his wife might make her niece feel wronged. For the sake of Wei Liuniang, the Wei family's thoughts are self-evident, and they definitely want to climb a good family. Although Wei Liuniang has become a concubine and does not know that it is an aunt, the Wei family will be disappointed, but they will not cut off contact. Xiao Er's future is bright, and it is probably possible to become a king in the future. Since the matter is a foregone conclusion, we can only try to turn it in a good direction. Xiao Er is not waiting to see Wei Liuniang now, living in a garden, looking down and not looking up. People's hearts are flesh and blood, and Wei Liuniang's appearance is like the moon, and after a long time, feelings will arise. With feelings, everything naturally goes smoothly. The Wei family has strong financial resources, and when Xiao Erzheng's wife enters the door, he may have to rely on her mother's family, and it is a matter of time before he takes up a concubine. "Nominally, she is already Xiao Er's woman, Wei Liuniang can have such a noisy ability, naturally she should also have Huigen who is a husband and wife, otherwise wouldn't she be a blind toss?" Isn't there still Aunt Wei's wife, "> help Wei Liuniang?" The princess knew that yesterday Aunt Wei "> those angry words." Look, in the future, Wei Liuniang's biggest help will be this aunt. There is a saying that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. The jar is broken. ”
Qiu Sanniang smiled, thinking about going back to testing Mo Zi, and it really didn't disappoint her.
"Wei Liuniang has a rich maiden family, and an aunt who is going to be a side concubine, but what do I have?" The sense of crisis is better than one day.
"Grandma has a few of our smart girls. In terms of distance, we follow us all day long, and any fire can be extinguished. Mo Zi understood, yesterday's incident stimulated Qiu Sanniang.
"That's a good point, especially since I have you Mozi." Qiu Sanniang named.
Mo Zi's eyes widened, "I'm flattered that Grandma said that. ”
"Alright, don't pretend. I'll make it clear. I plan to be a good daughter-in-law and obedient granddaughter-in-law for a while, and after I get through the top and bottom of this palace, I may not be able to take care of it outside. There is Cen Er in Wangqiu Building, and it is not a new business, so I can rest assured that I will let it go. It's just a red grass, and the thought of that wild grass makes me feel uncomfortable. The ancestral industry is deserted, and my industry is not prosperous. Mo Zi, you take over. I don't ask anything, I just look at the ledger, and you are in charge of everything big and small. Qiu Sanniang officially proposed that Hongyu Pass be handed over to Mo Zi.
At this point, it is no longer a temptation, but it is time to start talking about the conditions.
Mo Zi looked at Qiu Sanniang.
Qiu Sanniang put down the pen and picked up a piece of paper on the left and right, "According to your practice, one copy per person." ”
A new contract?
"Grandma might as well read it to me, maybe I'll change it." Lo and behold, this is the right time. Obviously, I was thinking to death in my heart, and I was smiling on my face, but I didn't have any meaning yet.
With Qiu Sanniang's acquiescence, the two were equal at this time and had equal status.
"I'm lazy to read from the script, but I can give you a general idea. Listen up. I will give you two thousand taels of silver, and you can build as big a yard as you want, and as many people as you please. "Article 1.
"Two thousand taels, a little less." Drive a hard bargain.
"That's not negotiable, you know I'm the most angry." In order to save money, it is better to belittle yourself.
"But if you don't have enough money, you can't do anything." Keep fighting.
"If you have more money, you can do more. If you have less money, you will do less. I didn't let you build a big field, that is, to pick up small jobs, like ferries and painting boats. "That's the second one.
point, the two agreed. She didn't plan to make the cake bigger, she just wanted to do what she loved on her own.
"I don't have any hope of making a lot of money. I'll tell you. A small painting boat costs a hundred taels of silver, and the wood is not cheap, plus the wages of the ship's craftsmen, it takes ten days and half a month to complete, and it is good to make a net profit of twenty or thirty taels. Nowadays, there is nothing in the red earth. If you start from scratch, it will take a month or two to build a house and another month or two to find a way to get a job. No fame, no good boatmen, no experience, this year, you can earn me back, it's good. "Fundamentally, Qiu Sanniang has zero understanding of the shipping industry.
Of course Zi has to agree with her, otherwise what, it's wrong to tell her, can you make money? I'm not stupid.
"Of course, I always expect a little more from you. Let's limit it to one year. After a year, there are five thousand taels on the books, and I will give you - what you want most. "The level of understanding is zero, and the degree of cuteness is one hundred.
"Five thousand taels. According to your calculations, I have to sell fifty of the small painting boats for a hundred taels of silver. If it takes half a month to build a ship, only twenty-four can be built in a year. Coupled with what you just said, you may not be able to start work at all for the first three months. How can I not calculate this account? "Words from the heart: Fortunately, it's not asking for pure profit.
"That's right, others can only make twenty-four, but it's not difficult for you Mo Zi to make fifty, right? "Well, her expectations, her expectations for Mo Zi, are more than twice as high as ordinary people."
"Hehe, grandma looks down on me. Anything else, this boat yard is really embarrassing. Five thousand taels of silver, I can't do it. "Actually, it's really hard.
Qiu Sanniang's previous assumptions are not unreasonable. The first three or four months of the shipyard belonged to the preparatory period, and it was not possible to start construction at all. Without boatmen, just having a site will not work. The guests who want to book a boat come to see that the empty place is empty, who will place a deposit? If you want to find a boatman, you have to pay for it. The status of the craftsmen is higher than that of the merchants. Some of the world's famous craftsmen are supported by the imperial court. Although Mo Zi is comparable to those people, it is difficult to speak alone.
"Mo Zi, I know it's not easy. If it were easy, I wouldn't let you do it. You give me back five thousand taels, and I will give you back my freedom. "If you want to make this smart girl do difficult things, this is the only way.
"Freedom? Grandma, it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice. You have reduced me by two or three years, and I am still embarrassed. "Confirm, confirm.
"You say you're smart, why are you stupid? What is the matter of subtracting two or three years? A year later, there were 5,000 taels on the books, and the deed we signed at the beginning was invalid. You are no longer my girl, you can't redeem yourself, I can transfer it, I don't have to worry about it. It's really the elimination of slavery, and then the household card, only you can be your own master. I can't punish you for not having anything to eat, and no one else can help me teach you a lesson. How, I've said enough to clear it up, right? Less words: "Qiu Sanniang understands Mo Zi."
"......" sighed.
"Sigh what?" The shrewd man laughed.
"Grandma, what if I can't hand over five thousand taels?" If there is anything that only benefits her, it is better to finish what she says.
"I really love playing against you. It's very simple, if you can't hand it over, sign it again. However, it is a lifelong death contract. In the future, I will make the decision on your marriage, and you will be assigned to your own servant? Even your sons and daughters are my property. "A one-time solution, once and for all.
“…… Am I not in charge of this? Just serve by grandma's side, and release it when the years are up? "Ruthless means that all the chips are on, and if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent. The smart man gritted his teeth and pursed his lips and smiled.
"I can't." Supporting his small chin, his bright face was like a summer pool, "Also, you can't borrow or transfer, these five thousand taels can only be earned from the shipyard." ”
Mo Zi looked at the two sheets of white paper and black letters.
You say, this mudra, press it, or don't press it?
