Chapter 62: Putting Down Your Face and Seeking Profit
Bai Yun smiled slightly, and began to give Bai Feng advice: "The first thing, to reduce the number of domestic slaves, you must have the appearance of being in debt, don't slap your swollen face and become fat." ”
Bai Feng nodded, he had long wanted to do the matter of reducing domestic slaves, but it was not his father's turn to speak when he was alive, and after his father died, he was not in the mood to rectify Qianyunzhuang......
"The second thing is not only to reduce the number of domestic slaves, but also all the members of the Bai family must do their best to do things for the farm, as a member of the farm, they should roll up their trouser legs and work, but they are all pampered and there are people waiting, and the farm is not at a loss!"
Let all the members of the Bai family work, this Bai Feng didn't dare to nod.
Their Bai family was originally an aristocracy, and in their heyday, they lived in luxury second only to the royal family.
Although they lived on farms, none of them had ever cultivated crops.
Later, the Bai family gradually fell into disrepair, and the big house was not rich, but it sat empty every year, but the living habits left behind have not changed.
Bai Yun continued: "The third thing is the most important, we have to change the existing business model of the farm immediately. ”
Bai Feng asked puzzledly: "Business model...... How to change? ”
He only knew that their fields and land were all rented to tenants from outside, and the rent of grain was less than that of outsiders.
Does the eldest sister mean to increase the rent?
Even if the rent is raised, it will not increase much, and it will definitely not make up for the dilemma of lack of silver.
Bai Yun patiently explained: "It's not about increasing the rent, but about making full use of the existing resources of the farm, putting down your face, and being mercenary!" ”
Bai Yun spit out a string of new nouns from his mouth, Bai Feng couldn't understand all of them at once, but he understood that the eldest sister had a way to get the silver.
As long as you can get the silver, it's a good thing, who cares if you don't have a face, anyway, the face of Qianyunzhuang is already gone.
Bai Yun pulled Bai Feng out: "Let's go to the observation deck, and I'll tell you in detail." ”
The sister and brother went to the observation deck that Bai Yun had been on before.
From the observation deck, you can clearly see the whole of Qianyunzhuang and the five and a half mountains that surround Jiangyunzhuang.
Bai Yun pointed to the cherry blossoms all over the mountain on Thumb Mountain and said, "The cherry blossoms are in full bloom, they must be very beautiful and beautiful." ”
Bai Feng showed an intoxicated look on his face, and nodded: "It's very shocking, the cherry blossoms in the sky are sprinkled one after another, the snow-white petals are slightly pink, and the golden stamens are clustered together like golden threads, and the flowers are so delicate, floating to the ground, leaving a gorgeous ......
At this time of year, the literati and writers in the capital, the noble sons and ladies, will come to watch in horse-drawn carriages one after another, and even hold a large gathering of friends in writing. ”
Sure enough, Bai Yun was secretly happy in her heart, this is a ready-made way to make money.
The cherry blossom season is only about half a month
"Our farm is so close to the capital, such a beautiful, romantic, and shocking scene, it's no wonder that those rich people who are idle and have nothing to do are keen on it."
Bai Yun deliberately accentuated the three words rich man.
Bai Feng's head was not stupid, he immediately understood what Bai Yun meant, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Eldest sister, you mean that we can use the day when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom to earn silver?" ”
Bai Yun nodded: "Yes, it used to be free to watch, but now we can charge a fee, and after a while, you will go and let people prepare more than a dozen vertical signs, erect them at each entrance, and each entrance will be guarded, and everyone who wants to come in to enjoy the flowers, all masters will receive ten taels of silver, and slaves will receive five taels of silver." ”
