Chapter 49. The way to become wealthy
Hu Sanlu took the people who had built the house to build a house for the people of the Wang family. For all these people dragged their families with their families, and they all built houses according to one house at a time.
On the other side, Wu Qing continued to open up the wasteland with nearly fifty or sixty people. Now that there are more people and more food, he only thinks about earning the rations of so many people. He heard Su Yan say that sweet potatoes can still be planted for one season, so Wu Qing couldn't wait to immediately open all the wasteland and plant sweet potatoes.
Hu Sanlu is really a bit of a heart, in order to facilitate the management of the people of the Wang family, and in order to let them integrate into the village quickly, he deliberately scattered the houses of the Wang family.
After all, when he first came, he took his subordinates with him, and they didn't form a lot of gangs to make trouble for Wu Qing. It wasn't until he led people to practice martial arts and manage everyone every day that he slowly turned his mind around.
Su Yan has been thinking about how to make money since years ago, but at this point, she hasn't come up with an idea.
After all, Panlong Mountain is in the middle of the heavy mountains, far away from the county seat. They usually go out to the nearest county seat, and it takes a day to drive the ox cart back and forth.
Su Yan searched in her mind for a way to make a fortune through the protagonist, and finally only thought of a rough idea.
"Hey! My silver is scarce again! She lay on the bed and sighed.
"I have silver here. You can use it! Pei Jing walked into the room and magnificently took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms.
"Yikes!" Su Yan sat up from the bed all of a sudden. "How can there be so much silver? Isn't Panlongzhai poor? ”
Su Yan, who had excellent eyesight, could see clearly the silver ticket with a denomination of 10,000 taels on her face at a glance, she stared at the thick stack of silver tickets with a dull gaze, and accidentally said what was in her heart.
"Huh! Underestimate your man, don't you? Pei Jing casually stuffed the silver ticket into Su Yan's arms.
Su Yan took the silver ticket and immediately nodded beautifully.
"What makes you think that we are poor in Panlong Village?" Pei Jing asked leisurely.
Su Yan counted the silver tickets and paused, "Hehe...... I'm fooling myself around. ”
Su Yan can't say that when she found that the food in the village was too poor, she would think that Panlong Village was very poor! Wouldn't that make him too faceless?
"Heh~" Pei Jing didn't poke her either. Originally, when the territory was not so big, their village was not very rich, and Ziche also managed the food expenses in the village to death. A group of rough old men don't care about what they eat, they just think they can fill their stomachs.
Now their Panlong Village is the third largest village in the boundary of the two provinces and three states, and the territory is several times larger than before, and the village is naturally a lot richer.
Su Yan immediately stopped what she was doing and kissed Pei Jing next to her on the face, "My husband is handsome and golden!" I liked it the most! ”
The sudden confession made Pei Jing's face slightly red, and he coughed softly uncomfortably. "What else?"
"What?" Su Yan didn't react for a while. When she touched Pei Jing's somewhat dangerous eyes, her mind immediately turned around, "People love each other, and flowers bloom." What was behind was naturally swallowed by Su Yan.
She didn't expect Pei Jing to be such a person. The villain in his heart stuck his waist and complained about Pei Jing, a narcissist.
Pei Jing smiled slightly. With a long arm, he hugged the person into his arms, "You are also the best in my heart!" ”
Su Yan couldn't help laughing, what's wrong? They actually blew rainbow farts on each other on a big night! "Take me to the mountains tomorrow to look for stones!"
"Okay." Pei Jing didn't ask what to do.
He has always been like this, no matter what Su Yan does, he supports her without saying a word.
On this cold spring night, the couple snuggled up to each other, and there was a feeling of quiet years.
Pei Jing took her over two hills before she found what Su Yan was looking for, limestone and quartz. These are glass-burning materials. There is also alkali, which is now sold in pharmacies. It can also be filtered repeatedly with plant ash and boiled to extract alkali.
Su Yan loaded sacks of limestone and two sacks of translucent sand, quartz, which she found in a stream at the foot of a mountain.
Su Yan put all the things in the gourd and brought them back to Wolong Village, and when the couple walked outside the village, Su Yan took out the four sacks of things under the cover of Pei Jing.
Pei Jing has a lot of strength, and he doesn't need Su Yan to do it, he is holding two sacks and four bags of sand and gravel in one hand, and he does not change the color of his face. "Let's go."
Back in the village, Su Yan found Ma Tao. As for why she looked for Ma Tao, she felt that burning ceramics is also burning, and burning glass is also burning.
The kiln that was built was only half built because he had been busy farming. At this time, Ma Tao was building a wall with a few people who wanted to learn B.
She felt a little embarrassed that her decision might have made him change careers. Maybe you don't have to change, but you can wear many hats. She made some psychological hints before walking over.
"Ma Tao, I have something I want to tell you."
"Mrs. Su, what do you command?" Ma Tao ran over. The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy had been here for a few months, and he looked a little fatter, not like the skinny and hemp pole he used to be.
"I've got something here that I need you to make for me. It's similar to how you used to burn ceramics. Su Yan flickered as much as she could, so that he could raise some interest.
Pei Jing looked at Su Yan with a smile on his face, flickering Ma Tao.
"Oh? What is it? Ma Tao was really excited.
"It's glass, it's glass." Su Yan leaned into his ear and whispered.
Pei Jing's face changed, and his eyes showed surprise. He has a good ear, so he naturally listens to it.
Ma Tao's eyes burst into astonishment. "Really... It's true? ”
"Of course, but you have to burn the pottery that is strong and not easy to burn. Can you? Su Yan looked at him seriously.
"I can! I'll definitely be able to! Ma Tao assured.
"Okay, I'll have someone help you cover the kiln later, and then you can burn some ceramics first." You don't have to rush, take your time, I'm sure you can do it! There was encouragement in her eyes.
Isn't it encouraged? This is the only way for her to make a fortune. This Longshan mountain road is rugged, and large items are easy to break on the road.
Therefore, she does not ask for large pieces, and she is already very satisfied if she can make some small mirrors and sell them at a high price.
"Don't talk about it for now, I don't know if this will work."
"Madam, don't worry, I will keep it secret!" Ma Tao said with a serious face.
"Well, I believe you. Then you get busy first! ”
Su Yan turned around and walked to Pei Jing's side, "Let's go find the fourth master!" ”
"Wu Jin, this kid, I didn't find him so capable before!"
"Isn't this a good teaching of yours as a big brother?" Su Yan praised from the bottom of her heart.
This Wolong Village, if it weren't for Wu Jin who had been busy all the time, she would definitely not be able to do it alone. After all, these people were bandits!
Su Yan found Wu Jin and asked him to build a glazed workshop with stone and blue bricks around the kiln.
Wu Jin's eyes widened, "Sister-in-law, what did you say to cover?" ”
"Workshop."
"What... Workshop? Wu Jin wanted to confirm it again.
"Glass, that is, glass." Su Yan didn't think he was making a fuss.
"Are you going to make glass?"
"Hmm. Let's cover it first! Su Yan paused, "You find two people to help me burn some things." Here's how. Su Yan handed the note with the extraction of alkali to Wu Jin.
"This is..."Wu Jin opened the note, a little puzzled. What does this boiled plant ash do? Boiled to eat?
"Let's burn it first! You'll know later, it's best to find two tight-mouthed ones. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Wolong Village was fully staffed, and the construction of ten houses of the Wang family started at the same time, and in less than a month, new houses were erected.
Su Yan's money has shrunk a lot. Thankfully, she has now found a way to make money.
