Chapter 359: Raising Pearls
Seeing that Bai Zhu didn't accept it, Pei Yunbian squeezed out a smile and sent the basket in his hand to him.
Seeing this, Bai Zhu hurriedly took a step back, avoiding the basket that Miss Pei stuffed over.
"Miss Pei, these eggs are still left for the young grandmother!"
Bai Zhu said politely and detachedly, and then closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Pei Yunbian bit his lower lip hard to confirm that Bai Zhu would not open the door again, and then stomped away.
Bai Zhu went in and told Pei Yan about Pei Yunfang's coming, Pei Yan waved his hand and replied with a twisted eyebrow.
"In the future, whenever she comes, she will say that I am not there.
Her mind is not right, if she comes into the house, if she sees something, she is afraid that she will cause trouble. ”
If it weren't for Pei Yunbian being the daughter of the eldest brother, he could directly let her disappear in the Northland and avoid future troubles.
Now, I can only be more cautious about my whereabouts.
So, wait until Ning Laosan arrives in the Northland.
Pei Yan directly changed places to meet him, and after listening to what Ning Laosan said, Pei Yan was silent for a long time.
"Didn't Mrs. Ning object to this?"
Ning Laosan shook his head, and then pushed the things he had placed on the table before towards Pei Yan.
"My mother said that since she has made a decision, it is useless to regret it."
Pei Yan looked at the stack of things, lowered his eyes, and then smiled.
"Since Mrs. Ning has already made a choice, Pei will naturally not refuse."
Seeing this, Ning Laosan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Before going to Fucheng, my mother talked to him again.
If Pei Gongzi is unwilling to agree, he has the right to do what happened before, and he didn't say it.
However, people work with their heads, and if they are ruthless, the Ning family is afraid that they will not be able to say whether they will be guaranteed.
However, his mother said that the heart of Pei Gongzi is not so bad.
If you don't want something to happen to their family, you should agree to it.
Now, it proves that what my mother said is right.
Here Ning Laosan and Pei Yan took over, and over there Ning Laosi and Liu Hu also arrived at Nanyue Mansion.
Today's Nanyue Mansion is becoming more and more chaotic.
After all, most of the rich people in the city moved out of South Vietnam with their wives and children.
The rest are either poor ghosts who can't afford to pay a penny, or fishermen in those fishing villages by the sea.
Their ancestors have been in this Nanyue Province for generations, and Nanyue Province is their home, and it is impossible for them to leave.
In addition to the poor ghosts and fishermen, there are naturally the ruffians and hooligans who form a gang of Nala.
However, even this kind of gang-forming ruffian hooligans are not having a good time now.
After all, where does the oil and water come from to scrape?
Lord Futai Chen of Nanyue Province was angry at the repeated loss of population under his jurisdiction, which was all white money!
Fortunately, there was still a group of fishermen who could help him with pearl diving.
In fact, he also wanted to spend some money and move to a more prosperous place as soon as possible.
However, in those rich places, there is a turnip and a pit, where there is a superfluous.
Especially now that he is Futai, he can't lower his status in order to change to a rich place, right?
But now, his income has dropped sharply, which makes Chen Tai feel very unhappy.
And Ning Laosi and Liu Hulai actually said that they wanted to buy a piece of land by the sea, and even opened a shop in Nanyue Mansion with thirteen lines in the north and south, which made Chen Tai surprised and was very happy.
After all, as long as Ning Laosi and the others were willing to do business in Nanyue Mansion, the oil and water would naturally roll in.
However, this time, Master Mao Wanxi talked to Chen Tai in private.
For the sake of long-term planning, you can't just cut the thirteen north-south lines bald at once!
Chen Tai listened to his master's words, and recalled that the oil and water had decreased so much during this time, so he could only nod and agree.
It's just that he didn't know that Mao Wanxi would help the Ning family's north-south thirteen lines to speak, all because Ning Laosi secretly stuffed him with a thousand taels of silver tickets.
And promised that as long as the Ning family's thirteen north-south lines were in Nanyue Mansion for one day, they would give a generous gift to Master Mao every year.
If you say good things, you can get a thousand taels of silver, Mao Wanxi can imagine that the generous gifts given to him by the thirteen elements of the north and south every year must be only a lot more.
For the sake of the annual gift, Master Mao even cheaply sold a small fishing village more than ten miles away from Nanyue Mansion to the Ning family.
After all, in his opinion, the small fishing village was in tatters, and the Ning family bought it, so they could not grow grain, and they could not pick pearls, and it was for nothing to buy it.
can also help the government, support the fishermen in that small fishing village, and the government can receive a sum of silver, why not?
Liu Hu didn't expect that the purchase of a fishing village would go so smoothly.
Ning Laosi heard this, but he sneered.
If there is silver to open the way, it will naturally be smooth.
On the other side of the small fishing village, when they learned that their village had been bought, there were only about a dozen families in the village, and everyone was panicked.
I'm afraid that the people who bought the fishing village will ask their entire village to go to the sea to dive for pearls, so how can it be good?
Therefore, when Liu Hu took people to the fishing village, a dark-covered old man knelt down with more than a dozen families behind him.
"Ask the master to give me a way to live, ask the master to give me a way to live!"
The swarthy forehead, although it was knocked on the gravel, was red and swollen after a while.
The dozen or so families behind him, young and old, also followed this old man, kowtowing desperately.
"Hey, old man, what's going on?"
Liu Hu was taken aback by the old man's operation, and then saw such a group of people behind him, who had been kowtowing to him, and couldn't help but step forward, holding the old man's arm and helping him up.
"The eldest lord spares his life, there are only so many families left in our village now.
It is said that there are more than a dozen households, but in fact, there is only one person in each household.
There are only three or five people.
There is no manpower at all, and there is no ability, go to the sea to dive pearls! ”
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Old man, you misunderstood.
We're not here to dive pearls, we're here to raise pearls. ”
Liu Hu thought about the method that the old lady taught him, smiled at the old man, and then said.
"What, raising pearls?"
When the old man heard the words of the eldest man, he was directly stunned on the spot.
He has been at the beach for so many years, and he has never heard of it, can this pearl still be raised by himself?
"Yes, Yangzhu.
Raise pearls only in the shallow seas, and do not let you enter the deep sea to dive pearls.
But you also have to be obedient to the arrangement.
As long as the people who are willing to obey the arrangement, not only do they not have to go to the sea to dive pearls, but they can also eat a full meal every day, and they will also reward those who perform well. ”
】
Liu Hu looked at the group of fishermen behind the old man, with a blank look, and immediately explained to them.
Originally, he wanted to talk about paying his salary, but after thinking about it, he didn't mention it for now.
After all, if the benefits are given all at once, there is no motivation.
It's better to take it slowly, which will make them grateful to the Ning family.
