185 No worries about food and clothing

Half a month has passed since the China Merchants Association, and the new businessmen in the village have also begun to make profits.

Gu Qing made a lot of money by selling shops. After all the stores were sold, Gu Qing was much more relaxed, and with the addition of foreign businessmen, the daily flow of people in Gujia Village was greater.

After Zhu Han, who was far away in Fucheng, received the news that Zhu Lian was about to get married, he rushed to Gujia Village non-stop.

Gu Qing didn't understand the matter of marriage, and this matter was handed over to Mama Zhu.

In March, the weather is getting warmer, and after a few spring rains, mushrooms grow wildly in the mountains.

Also growing crazy are the bamboo shoots in the bamboo mountain in Zhujia Village.

It was the first time Zhu Li had come to Gujia Village. In order to avoid losing to Gu Lizheng, I came today and deliberately wore a new coarse cloth dress made at the end of last year.

But as soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, I found that the ordinary villagers of Gujia Village were wearing muslin clothes, and the styles were the most popular and popular models at the moment, and some even had embroidered patterns on the sleeves and necklines.

Zhu Li was looking down at the smooth stone brick road under his feet, and his own coarse cloth shoes covered with mud were a little cramped in his heart.

I also began to be afraid to walk.

"Yo! What kind of wind blew Zhu Lizheng over? Gu Qing asked Gu Li to keep an eye on the prices in the village to prevent them from ripping off customers.

Gu Lizheng had just finished inspecting all the shops, and as soon as he went out, he saw Zhu Lizheng looking around on the street, and immediately greeted him.

"Gu Lizheng." Zhu Lizheng smiled and said enviously: "The development of your village is not comparable to the county seat, Gu Lizheng is really a good fortune, and he can get a capable person like the county lord of Rongchang." ”

"Don't worry, the good days of your village are coming soon!" Gu Lizheng seemed to stroke his hair bun inadvertently, the silver hairpin on his head was extremely eye-catching, and Zhu Lizheng's heart was hot.

"Zhu Li should have come for the mountain goods, the county lord said, a large number of purchases. No matter which village, as long as the quality is good, it will be charged at last year's price. Gu Lizheng said this, his expression was a little serious: "Don't send those rotten and bad ones over, our county lord won't be the one who is wronged!" ”

Zhu Lizheng's face was pale: "Where to say, these mountain goods were rotten in the ground in previous years, and they are worthless, but now that the county lord is willing to accept them, we are grateful, where can we still do that kind of thing!" ”

The two talked all the way to the door of Gu Qing's house, and Gu Si at the door saw that it was Gu Lizheng, so he didn't say a word, so he invited someone in.

"County Lord! Li Zheng is here, and he is still taking Zhu Li Zheng with him! "Last time I went to Zhu Han's house, Xia Zhu also went, so he naturally recognized Zhu Lizheng.

"Got it, you go to the front to serve tea first, and I'll come later!" Zhu Li is coming, it should be about mountain goods, she has to take the prepared price list.

Before he finished drinking a sip of tea, Gu Qing came over with the price list.

Those who can sit in this position know a few words.

"Ordinary mushrooms are 15 wen a catty, spring bamboo shoots are 10 wen a catty, porcini mushrooms are 50 wen a catty, dry mushrooms are 100 wen a catty, and matsutake mushrooms are 500 wen a catty?" Zhu Lizheng was stunned: "County Lord, is this price too high?" ”

Gu Qing smiled: "It's not high, how do you make money?" How to get rid of poverty? ”

"But this, the price is so high, isn't the county lord going to lose?" Zhu Li was worried.

"Don't worry, I still have a few pennies of hard work here. How many mountain goods are there in Zhulizheng, and I will collect as many as I want! Although it is delivered, our two villages are close to each other, and we will deliver it on the same day and settle the payment on the same day! ”

"Good, good!" Zhu Lizheng's eyes flashed with tears, and their village finally had an entry!

"I'll go back and make arrangements, and I can send a lot of mountain goods tomorrow!"

"Zhu Lizheng, don't worry." Gu Qing stopped Zhu Lizheng and said: "I also want the fish, shrimp and crabs in your village, you pick a big one every day and catch fifty catties each and send it to Qingpei Pavilion in the village at dawn." In addition, I have been buying a large number of these fish, shrimp and crabs for a long time, and Zhu Li might as well go back and think about how to breed fish, shrimp and crabs! ”

"Is the county lord really buying a large amount of money for a long time?"

"Seriously! They are all villagers, not only Gujia Village, my goal is to let the people of the entire Nanzhou, and even the entire Daliang have no worries about food and clothing, and never close their doors at night! Gu Qing stood there, and as soon as these words came out, everyone around her felt that she was a lot taller.

"Okay, with the words of the county lord, my Zhujia Village is obedient to the county lord! In the future, I will listen to the arrangement of the county lord at any time! ”

"Do you know how to make rice noodles in Zhujia Village?" Gu Qing still hasn't given up snail noodles, even though she doesn't really like to eat them.

"Rice noodles?" Zhu Lizheng asked, "What the county lord is asking about vermicelli made of white rice?" ”

"Yes, that's the kind of thing you have, your village has it?" Gu Qing was a little anxious.

"I'm not afraid of the jokes of the county lord, there was no food in the village one year, and someone turned over the rat's nest. There is all kinds of food in the rat's nest, and there is a lot of sand and gravel, and they can't pick it out, so they simply grind it into rice milk.

But this rice milk can't be eaten, and then the villagers came up with the idea of using a funnel to make coarse vermicelli strips one by one. Later, I made fine fans, alas, they are all poor! ”

Zhu Lizheng sighed and asked, "What are the main fans of the county doing?" ”

"It's delicious!" Gu Qing blinked, the sour bamboo shoots would be pickled for a few days at the earliest, and this matter was not in a hurry: "I'm tired of Zhu Lizheng bringing some fans over in half a month, if this matter can be done, Zhujia Village will be able to make more entries in the future!" ”

"Okay, then I'll go back to the village and arrange it first, if the county lord has something, just send someone to say it!"

After sending Zhu Lizheng away, Gu Qing called Gu Lizheng again: "Auntie, what are some specialties in other villages?" ”

Gu Lizheng pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "Where do we have any specialties in this poor and remote country, but it is the county lord that you have unique vision and quick thinking can develop Gujia Village." ”

"Then you can only farm!" Gu Qing called Gu San over: "You go to the county government and ask, we will plant rice in the entire Nanzhou, how many grains are needed in total, you let Lord Shen count it, inform me, let us plant the entire Nanzhou for two seasons this year!" ”

"Let's do it!"

Gu Qing's second-crop rice made a Youshui County pay more grain, and even Mama Zhu knew about it.

If it is really according to what the county lord said, the entire Nanzhou is planted with the kind of rice seeds provided by Gu Qing, and there are two crops a year, wouldn't the treasury be full?

Mama Zhu quietly retreated, the matter is serious, she must report this matter to the saint!

"County Lord, do we have so many rice seeds in our family?" Xia Zhu asked.

Hearing this, Mama Zhu paused, yes, she almost forgot about it.

"Why not? I have processed all the rice harvested last year, tens of thousands of catties, all of them are excellent rice seeds, all of them are full! ”

Tens of thousands of catties!

Mama Zhu's steps to leave were a little brisk.
