Lin Qingwan stepped out of the carriage, looked up at the completed reading building, and nodded with satisfaction. ◢ with * dream ◢ small *.lā

It's big, it's tall, and it's especially grand in a low-rise building.

Zhou Tingshi stood in front of the door, and when he saw her get out of the car, he greeted her and asked, "How does Lord Lin think this building is built?" ”

Lin Qingwan did not hesitate to praise, "Yes, the layout is very reasonable, better than I imagined." ”

Zhou Tingshi smiled and touched his beard and said: "It's also the county lord's face, I heard that this reading building is rewarded by His Majesty, so Mr. Shan took the initiative to help design it, and you don't have special requirements for building materials, and the budget is a little more, so we can build it so well." ”

"Oh? This was designed by Mr. Shan? ”

Zhou Assassin Shi bowed, "In addition to this building, Mr. Shan also drew the layout map inside, and the county is not disgusted, but you can refer to it." ”

"I can't ask for it." Mr. Shan is a representative of the design of Jiangnan gardens, I heard that he is a member of the Mo family, the design of the house is not only pleasant, but also implies the five elements of gossip, as long as you can afford the price, he can also design a mechanism for you in the house.

It is the best treasure for anti-theft and anti-theft.

It's a pity that his asking price is too high, so Lin Qingwan didn't dare to invite him when she built Wenyuan, and she didn't have money at that time.

Now that she has money, Mr. Shan is willing to help for free.

Lin Qingwan shook her head amusedly, and walked up and down the reading building, now it was empty, there was nothing, she had to ask someone to make bookshelves, and put some tables, chairs and benches in it.

She took the design draft handed over by Zhou Tingshi, flipped through it, and finally clicked on the bookshelf and said, "This design is good." ”

"What about the others?"

Lin Qingwan looked up at the empty room and said, "I have other arrangements." Mr. Shan's design is good, but it doesn't fit my purpose. ”

Zhou Tingshi saw that she had no intention of saying more, so he didn't ask anymore, and after she finished reading it and confirmed that there was no problem, the two of them handed over.

Zhou Tingshi withdrew the person at this time, his task was completed, and now there is still some money left from the household department, and he has to settle the account and return it when he goes back.

As for the decoration inside, Lin Qingwan is naturally worried about it, which is also a lot of expenses, thinking that there is a timber shop under his name, he smiled and said to Lin Qingwan: "If Lord Lin needs bookshelves, cabinets, etc., why don't you go to Zhouji to have a look?" ”

Lin Qingwan tilted her head, remembering the information that Chief Steward Zhong gave her two days ago, "Zhou Ji timber line? ”

Zhou Tingshi nodded with a smile, "That shopkeeper is a distant nephew of mine, if you order from there, I will say hello to him and ask him to count you cheaper." ”

Lin Qingwan understood in seconds, this timber shop was only Zhou Tingshi's own, but he couldn't be an official or do business, so he hung it in his nephew's name.

This is the same as when the Lin family's shop business was mostly hung in the name of the next person.

She recalled the introduction of the chief steward Zhong to her at the beginning, this week's record seemed to be not bad, she thought it was the property of the Zhou family in Jiangdu, who knew that it was the history of Zhou Thorn.

It's better this way, the two are more familiar, and they are not afraid of being pitted.

Lin Qingwan nodded and said, "Then Lord Lao Zhou will take care of it." ”

Zhou Tingshi made a business, and his heart was happy, who said that he wouldn't do business, wouldn't this be a deal?

Zhou Tingshi felt that his mother's evaluation was very one-sided, so he happily took someone back and decided to show off with his mother when he went back.

Well, by the way, talk to my nephew again, and press the price, but don't let Lord Lin feel that he cheated her.

Chief Steward Zhong walked to Lin Qingwan's side and whispered, "Auntie, the nearby land and the small house have been bought, look ......?"

"Then bring the idle long-term workers in the Zhuangzi to build a house," Lin Qingwan said: "If there are not enough people, recruit some more, and all of them will be built on the second floor and unified in style." ”

Chief Zhong should be in charge, and he didn't worry about the flow of people at all.

He has seen the situation in the past few years, and knows that his aunt and grandmother will not fight a battle that she is not sure of, and she dares to buy all these lands, which must be calculated that there will be no fewer people here in the future, and business will not be bad.

Of course, there will be no shortage of people here, because Lin Qingwan revised the plan of the Reading Building last night, and movable type printing is not so easy, so she decided to copy books and print books at the same time.

This can be regarded as an opportunity for poor students to make money, but in this way, the cost of the reading building is greater, and it is impossible for her to invest money in it without restrictions.

The family's money has to be saved for Yubin as a dowry, and in the future, she will have to buy this piece of Jue Tian with the emperor to make Yongye Tian, so the money can't be spent indiscriminately.

Therefore, it is better for the reading building to be self-sufficient.

The best money in the world is women's money and scholars' money.

This time, she plans to earn money from scholars, especially those from well-off families.

She wanted to make this street a street that integrates learning, eating, and entertainment.

Of course, the task is difficult, so she needs to invest a lot of money in the early stage, but fortunately, she has not been short of money in the past two years.

Paper mills, weaving mills and embroidery mills all made her a lot of money.

The income in Zhuangzi is also good, not referring to the income from grain, Lin Qingwan never expected to make money by selling grain.

The grain in the Zhuangzi is either donated, or one is sold and a large portion is hoarded.

This autumn, the Lin family only sold two hundred loads of grain, and the rest were hoarded, the situation has been unstable in the past few years, even if she doesn't mention it, the Zhong steward knows that they can't sell too much grain.

At critical moments, gold can kill people, but food can keep people alive, as long as you have food in your hands, you can build an army.

The income in the Zhuangzi is mainly concentrated in agricultural and sideline products, not to mention the silkworms raised in the mulberry orchards, and each orchard has entered the fruiting period, and even the smallest fruit tree has begun to bear fruit this year.

Lin Shun selected a few family members and long-term workers from the Zhuangzi to form a caravan, and the fruits with a long shelf life were transported to other places.

Those with a short shelf life are sold nearby, and are only sold in Yangzhou, Suzhou.

A large number of fruits have entered the market, so that the price of fruits, which has been high for many years, has fallen a lot, and people with slightly better families are willing to pay for a bag of fruit when they see it occasionally.

After earning the money of fresh fruits, Lin Shun made the remaining fruits that could not be sold or had no time to sell them into preserved fruits and fruit wine.

Especially the fruit wine, the kid said that he moved the big manager Zhong, and dug up a family from a small village at the bottom of Suzhou who is good at making wine to help, and the fruit wine is fragrant and sweet, and the degree of the wine is not high or low, children can also drink it, and adults also love to drink it.

Lin Qingwan and Lin Yubin exchanged three kinds of fruit wine for three days in a row.

Although preserved fruit and fruit wine are not on the market in large quantities, Lin Qingwan is not worried, not only because they are durable, but also because Jiangnan has been in peace for a long time, and it has been smooth in the past few years.

In addition to that, there were chickens and ducks, and eggs, and there were fish in the big ponds, and oh, the ponds were now fishing.

Zhuangzi is bustling every day, full of fish vendors, who transport fish elsewhere and turn around to make a fortune.

Prices in other places are still high, but in Suzhou, prices have slowly fallen, Zhou Tingshi and Lin Qingwan are very concerned about this aspect, as long as prices fall too much, Lin Qingwan let the long-term workers rest, reduce the supply or stop the supply.

It's a pity that the price of things like wood is still very fixed, so Lin Qingwan still has to spend a lot of money to buy wood.

Lin Qingwan was not distressed, but the long-term workers in Zhuangzi were distressed first, and ran over to Lin Qingwan and said, "County Lord, if you don't care about the variety of wood, then we will go up the mountain and cut it for you, so as not to buy it." ”

Lin Qingwan was surprised, "Where to cut?" ”

"On the mountain," the Changgong who stopped Lin Qingwan pointed to a mountain in the distance, and said as a matter of course: "Isn't that also the land of you and the county lord of Lin, I think the trees on it are very good." ”

Lin Qingwan looked at the mountain and was silent.

That happened to be the dividing line between her and Lin Yubin Juetian, because the mountain was full of rocks and trees, and it was difficult to reclaim, so the officials who came to measure the land back then were very ignorant and did not include that mountain.

But because the mountain was right in the middle, it was useless to look at it, so the officials casually remembered it as her land.

She carefully recalled the trees on the mountain, and blinked, "The trees on it can be used as bookshelves?" ”

"Why can't you, what tree can't be made on the shelf......"

Changgong wanted to recommend it again, but Uncle Chen slapped him on the head, "County Lord, don't listen to his nonsense, he just feels sorry for the money for you, it's okay to make some tables, chairs and benches from the trees on the mountain, it's not good to make that long-term bookshelf." ”

Uncle Chen also knows some carpentry, and knows that the bookshelves of scholars are exquisite, and they will be passed down for generations.

And the trees on the mountain are usually used to make tables, chairs, benches and cages, and most of them are used for more than ten years, and they can't bear it for a long time.

Lin Qingwan also understood, she touched her chin and said, "That's really not good to use as a bookshelf, but it's okay to make tables, chairs and benches." ”

The chief worker came out again, and asked with blazing eyes, "Is the county going to cut down trees?" I can make stools and chairs, and I can make tables, uh, but I haven't made cages......"

"You go aside," Uncle Chen pushed him away and said, "Even if it is to do it, Liu Gui will do it, and keep your craftsmanship for your own family." ”

This is what he meant, Changgong pouted unconvinced, but thinking of Liu Gui's craftsmanship, he could only hold back.

Lin Qingwan smiled and said: "When I go back, I will discuss with Liu Gui, if you use the books on it to make tables, chairs and benches, I will ask you to cut them when I turn around." ”

The long-term worker happily responded, so that the owner could spend less money, and they still had work to do.

Although as a long-term worker, even if you don't have a job to do, you can get a salary, but if you have a job to do, there will be a red envelope at the end of the month, the minimum is 30 Wen, and the most can be 100 Wen.

It's all about everyone's performance, he works hard, and there are more than 50 red envelopes every month.

This is also in the Lin family, and there is no such benefit in other families, so the long-term workers have special work in their eyes.

If you can save money for the owner, you will never choose to save money and effort.

At the beginning, Chief Steward Zhong and Steward Lin would feel sorry for the extra red envelopes sent out every month, but after a few months of account books, they were not distressed, but became more and more generous to their subordinates, and even let them go, as long as they did a good job, there would be big red envelopes for the New Year.

This is also why the Lin family's Zhuangzi is so big, and there are so many birds and beasts in it, but the road and the garden are clean and neat.

Because most people work hard for red envelopes, and a small number of people want to be lazy, but when they see that others get more than 50 red envelopes every month, they can only get 30 yuan, and sometimes they don't even have 30 yuan, so they feel heartbroken.

So they also began to work diligently, so Changgong said that the people in the Zhuangzi could get at least 30 wen.

Because nowadays, no one is so lazy that they can't even do their own work.
