Chapter 17: The Only Way to Get Rich

Su Ling only said a short sentence, and after listening to her words, Su Yue looked up at Zhou Qi with a somewhat uncertain look.

"Brother-in-law, come and sit." Su Yue pointed to the stool next to the table and gestured.

"Brother-in-law, I know that you are a scholar, just now my sister told me that you have the ability to hurt people, so I want to ask if you can participate in the scientific expedition?"

Zhou Qi hesitated for a moment, and said that he didn't participate, this original body has already fallen off the list several times, and said that he had participated, but he felt a little embarrassed if he didn't get in.

"Didn't get in? Didn't the children in the county exam get in? ”

As soon as Su Yue saw his expression, she already understood, glanced at her lips and sighed, then turned her head to look at Su Ling again, her face full of melancholy.

"Sister, although I have a strict imperial examination system, but this boy can't pass the exam, do you think he has the ability?"

Su Ling became anxious when he heard this, and he didn't speak to anyone's ear again, but lowered his voice: "What I said is not capable of this." ”

Zhou Qi rolled his eyes.

Skill? What do you mean?

Su Yue, who heard the words, only understood the literal meaning, and sighed suspiciously.

I saw that Su Ling's face suddenly showed a little pride, and he said quietly with a smile: "My Langjun can make money, and the toothbrush that is now popular in the city was made by my Langjun at the beginning!" ”

When Su Yue heard this, her eyes widened.

"So you fooled my Lang Jun into buying your broken brush?"

Zhou Qi, who had a sip of tea in his mouth, almost didn't squirt out.

He only fooled Liu Sichen, but there was such a coincidence, that Liu Sichen was actually his eldest uncle!?

In the end, Su Yue didn't say it explicitly, and Zhou Qi still said uncertainly: "Liu Sichen? ”

"Who said it was the black-hearted showman?"

Su Yue pouted, and rolled her eyes when she mentioned him.

"My Lang Jun's family is a textile worker, and after making some money, he sent my Lang Jun to the school, saying that he wanted to take the imperial examination."

"No, I got acquainted with this Sven scum Liu Xiucai, who took money from home every day to participate in the broken poetry meeting, and yesterday I spent four taels of silver to buy a broken brush back, I really don't know what I think!"

Realizing that it was inappropriate to say this in front of the maker, Su Yue was a little sorry and silenced.

However, at this time, Su Ling whispered: "Sister, my father also bought it..."

"I also bought two..."

He also held out two fingers as he spoke.

When Su Yue heard this, three black lines were directly crossed in her head.

Zhou Qi didn't care about anything, not to mention that it was originally a broken brush.

Thinking that there were indeed three other men walking with Liu Sichen yesterday, I don't know which one is my aunt?

But no matter which one it is, his family is a textile worker, and he is interested, doesn't this happen to be to the point?

"Then this machine is your Lang Jun's property?" Zhou Qi pointed to the spinning wheel on the side and asked.

"No, our family is just spinning, and the machine belongs to my cousin Langjun."

Zhou Qi nodded thoughtfully after receiving Su Yue's answer.

He has other things to do, and it is not good to let the eldest sister-in-law take him to the cousin immediately, this matter can only be slowed down.

"Brother-in-law, why do you start trading again? Is the school not going up? Su Yue turned the topic back.

Although she couldn't get used to Liu Sichen, she still supported her Lang Jun's scientific expedition.

Shinong industry and commerce have been like this since ancient times.

No matter how rich a businessman is, he has a low status in the eyes of others.

Fortunately, the imperial court emphasized literature and suppressed military force, and did not clearly stipulate that the children of merchants could not take scientific examinations, and even encouraged men to be exempted from forced labor if they took the examination.

There is only one man in their family, Langjun, and if she doesn't take the entrance examination, it is not impossible to be dragged into forced labor.

"The only way to solve worries is to get rich." Zhou Qi replied with a smile.

He doesn't know the class division, he is rich for businessmen, rich for officials!!

But everything is based on the economy, and if there is no money, how can we talk about scientific research? I'm afraid I'm already starving to death before I get in!

When Zhou Qi said this, Su Yue sneered, nodded approvingly, and then blinked her eyes and smiled: "Business is not so easy to do, although your toothbrush is novel, but to be honest, it is just a gust of wind, brother-in-law is confident?" ”

"Whether it's good or not, you have to do it to know."

Zhou Qi looked confident, joking, he studied economic management, if he can't play this point, he might as well find a pit and bury himself, and if he can't wear it back!

It's a pity that such a good daughter-in-law has to be widowed at a young age, where is he willing to do this? …

Su Yue pursed her lips, thinking that it was indeed a talent to be able to sell a broken brush for four taels of silver, so she looked at the two of them and said generously: "Sister, then I won't say anything, anyway, if you have any difficulties, just come to me!" There is also a brother-in-law, who still has to go to the scientific examination in the future, so that he can be regarded as on the right path! ”

Su Ling nodded again and again, and Zhou Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, even if the eldest sister-in-law was over.

After talking about the conversation, Su Yue said goodbye to the two of them and went to find the little doll.

also told Su Ling that the little doll missed her, and on the way here, she shouted that she wanted to sleep with her aunt.

Zhou Qi was not happy at the moment, but Su Ling hurriedly nodded and agreed.

Zhou Qi was very helpless! …

What's the matter with this newlywed honeymooner?

When she left, she specially kept the two silver tickets, although Su Ling repeatedly refused.

Two silver tickets are twenty taels of silver, Su Ling thought that he could also collect four catties of pig hair, so he said to Zhou Qi: "Lang Jun, take it for you." ”

Zhou Qi didn't take it and joked with a smile.

"Lady, are you going to raise me?"

He now has some experience of how happy it is to marry the daughter of a rich family, this money really comes out of his mouth, even if he lies flat and rotten, he will not worry about this life!

When Su Ling heard this, he immediately blushed.

It was the first time he had called her a lady, and her heart jumped violently when she heard it.

Zhou Qi didn't realize this at all, seeing that she was ashamed again somehow, it was really hard to guess the mind of a straight woman in her heart!

"Lang Jun has the ability, so naturally he doesn't need me to support him."

Su Ling lowered his head and looked shy, and then as if he thought of something, he raised his head and asked, "What are Lang Jun's plans?" ”

She has actually wanted to ask this for a long time, Zhou Qi told her that tomorrow it is roughly estimated that at least fifty catties of pig hair will be collected, and five taels and one catty is two hundred and fifty taels of silver.

And the total number of them in their hands now is only more than twenty taels, and twenty taels of them are still fresh and hot, which can't help but make her wonder.

"The plan is a little bit."

Zhou Qi didn't intend to hide it from Su Ling, so he replied truthfully: "I plan to find someone to cooperate." ”

In later generations, this was a very common method of financing.

To make a product first, and then find someone to invest in production, but to find someone, you must find someone who can appreciate the product, and that person must have enough strength and ambition, otherwise it can only end in failure.

"Do you want to find my daddy?" Su Ling's eyes were bright, she believed in Zhou Qi, if she cooperated with her father, she would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

Zhou Qi hurriedly waved his hand.

"No, the person we're looking for will come to the door himself within today."
