Chapter 313: We Don't Understand
"Make money?" Xin Kun and Xin Yao sat together in the flower hall of their house and met three elders, a prince, well, why is there an old eunuch? Well, why is the old eunuch still holding Xiaobao.
"There is a flood peak in the Yangtze River, but the imperial court has no money." Prince Ren is very direct.
"Let's donate money? I have no money. Xin Yao said that she had no money, mainly because she really didn't have the heart. No matter how stupid she is, she knows that this is not something that a businessman can do, thinking about how Shen Wansan died tomorrow, she didn't want to come out like this. Looking at Xin Kun, she felt that Xin Kun probably wouldn't be.
Xin Kun didn't speak, she was a scholar, not a fool. I don't understand anything, I always understand it when I read the folds of the past dynasties. She can only respond to change now.
"No, let me think about it, how does the imperial court find money?" Prince Ren was busy explaining that now the Xin Xin family is also an attachment to his own family. Otherwise, they would not let their only son live here, which is also a kind of protection for their son.
"How do you find money? Hehe, I'm a scholar. Xin Kun smiled and took a slow sip of tea.
"Well, you only collect agricultural taxes, of course you don't have any money. That is, relying on the sky to eat, the weather is not good, there is a big water, there is no land and no one, collect a fart! Xin Yao was speechless and said casually.
"Yao'er!" Xin Kun drank his sister lightly, "Xiaobao, are you going to play with your aunt?" ”
Xiaobao wanted to go out to play, but he was a smart child, and it was not right to look at the form, so he could only shut up honestly. The face is a little bitter!
"Do you mean business tax? Is that what you want the imperial court to do to improve the status of merchants? "Cai Ge Lao was depressed again, obviously he should have asked Xin Kun to go to the yamen. As a result, the four of them actually wanted to come to see this kid, and Cai Ge felt angry when he thought about it.
"No, no, this, students are scholars, and they can take care of their families and teach their children well; The sister is still young, and there are some things she doesn't understand. Xin Kun leaned over slightly.
"You just want to live a good life by yourself, and you don't care about the lives of people outside?" Niu Ge Lao frowned.
Just now, he proposed to go to Xinjia Lane to take a look. He wanted to see how the poor alleys in the city had changed all of a sudden because of the Xin family's arrival.
Of course, after walking around, the high archway, the flat bluestone slab, and the vermilion gate on both sides, if it weren't for people, they would never believe it, most of the people who lived here were the masters of the Xin family. He also really thinks that it is normal for the price to increase here. The houses have been rebuilt, and the walls are all in the same color. Such alleys are stronger than where you live. If it's just twice as much, it's not that high.
But now, Xin Kun obviously doesn't want to support, Xin Yao may want to speak, but, obviously, Xin Kun doesn't want to be troublesome.
"No, we are all ordinary ordinary people. I have managed at most one workshop, and what Yao'er can manage is actually just one shop. What we can feed is now more than 100 households! Xin Yao may be able to manage two or three hundred households! But in this world, thousands of households, it is not within our reach! Xin Kun said word by word.
"No one wants you to smelt the country, just tell me how you feed these hundreds of households." Cai Ge said helplessly.
"We have a couple of workshops and a shop at home. If you know a little about the Xin family, you will know. The Xin family's industry is divided into three parts, and now in addition to workshops and shops, there are also a lot of houses and shops; There is also a small Zhuangzi. The main production of the workshop is in the small Zhuangzi, but the location is very careful and will not affect the production of the Zhuangzi at all. In fact, the three parties are complementary to each other, at home, the main ingredients of the workshop are produced by their own Zhuangzi, and the raw materials of the workshop are also produced in their own raw material workshops, and these are also made by collecting folk scrap steel. Then we bought things ourselves and sold them in our own shop, which is also our own industry. So, speaking of which, it's quite ashamed, in addition to coal, charcoal, and scrap iron, we are actually self-sufficient in the consciousness of small farmers. Xin Kun smiled and casually introduced.
"And what are you going to do with those houses and shops?"
"yes, I don't like to save money. Buying a house and a shop is a bit of a caution. You have also seen that the Xin family now only has Xiaobao, and the students have the intention to let Xiaobao inherit the family business, but Yao'er also said that Xiaobao has his own ideals, what if Xiaobao wants to practice martial arts with Shen Gonggong in the future and go to chivalry? So what I can prepare for him is an industry that doesn't require too much thought. In case we're gone, he'll have the money to support himself! Xin Kun twisted Xiaobao's ear and sighed softly.
"What is a hero?" Xiaobao looked up at Gonggong Shen.
"Don't worry, grandpa is not a hero, and he won't force you." Gonggong Shen smiled and nodded Xiaobao to calm his heart.
"Baby, if you don't become a hero and a villain, we will be uncomfortable!" Xin Yao grimaced. But in front of Gonggong Shen, she really didn't dare to say, 'If you become an eagle dog, I will be sad!' ’
"Is Peng Peng a hero or a villain?" Xiaobao thought seriously, he felt that Peng Peng was the best.
"Xiaobao, he's a little ......" Xin Yao was about to say something, but Xin Kun cleared his throat.
"Ahem, Lord Cai, the villain is really not good at anything other than reading and striking iron." Xin Kun still faced Cai Ge Lao, anyway, he showed that our family will only do our own business, and we are not good at other things, so we don't dare to ruin the big things of the imperial court.
"So you mean, you only know your own business, so you don't understand anything outside?" Prince Ren frowned.
"Yes!" Xin Kun didn't hesitate at all.
"You can see the people on both sides of the Yangtze River......"
"Well, I can raise money in Kyochu. As long as everyone gives a little love, I don't think it's too difficult. Of course, you can also donate clothes, quilts, etc. Xin Kun said hurriedly.
"Brother, you're really ...... That's awesome! Xin Yao looked sideways at Xin Kun, so that she could refuse so strongly.
"Mainly, we're too weak." Xin Kun patted Xin Yao lightly, and looked back at the old men, "Otherwise, we won't donate money, let's donate some shovels." To fight floods, shovels seem to be more useful. ”
"Brother, you're really ...... That's great. Xin Yao really admired this time, donating money and donating shovels are two different things, even if you use the same money, the things you donate are completely different. In any era, in this matter, don't test human nature.
"You have no opinion on the court looking for money?" Liu Ge Lao has not spoken since he entered the door. He was observing the new Xin family, the Xin family he saw last time, and the Xin family this time, except for the people who have not changed, everything else has changed. But after sitting down again, I felt that nothing had changed. That place was the Xin family before, but this place is also the Xin family.
Of course, at this time, he even felt that this was the Xin family. At this time, these two people, in this beautiful garden, this beautiful brother and sister, it seems that they should live in this situation.
