284 Blue bricks and black tiles

"I'm going to the Northern Desert this time, the northern land, and the snow has already begun to fall, this cotton undershirt should be very popular, and I want a thousand sets too."

"It's a pity that I'm going to the south, but I can give it a try, I'll take 300 sets."

"I'm going to go around the capital this time, it is said that the Holy Lord is going to hold a birthday festival, and dignitaries from all over the world will gather in the capital, and I want to go to the capital with 2,000 sets to try my luck."

「……」

Everyone scrambled to speak, and more than 10,000 sets of clothes were divided up in an instant.

Mama Li couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

If they open their own shops and sell them in the city, it will take at least a month or two to sell out, which is really beyond her imagination.

Gu Qing didn't expect everyone to help so much, she smiled and said: "There is another thing, now Gujia Village has built dozens of warehouses, when you come back to pick up the goods, you can bring some local specialties to exchange with others, if there is no time between each other, then temporarily store the goods in the warehouse, the warehouse rental fee is five hundred wen a month, if you need someone to take care of it, add another five hundred wen."

The merchants laughed.

Every time they come to Gujia Village, they come empty, it is indeed a waste, if they can exchange goods with merchants in other places, this is equivalent to one more transaction, who would think that there are many ways to make money?

The shopkeeper Wang smiled and took everyone to the inner room to sign the contract registration, pay the payment, and then go to the warehouse to deliver, and now the demand for the warehouse can also be booked.

After talking with the merchants, Gu Qing walked to the warehouse area, which had almost been built here, and the rows of houses were all warehouses, and the windward outlet here was relatively ventilated and suitable for storing goods.

"County Lord, this warehouse is good, isn't it?" Li Zheng was full of smiles, "The main street in Youshui Town is almost so big, I really didn't expect that our Gujia Village is about to catch up with the city in just one warehouse area, and our village is getting more and more complete, and there will be more and more people doing business in the future."

Gu Qing answered: "After this side is fully completed, go to the city to publicize it, there should still be businessmen willing to rent warehouses, and the development of our village will get better and better in the future."

Nowadays, there is a large flow of people in Gujia Village, there are low-level farmers, middle-level workers, and high-class scholars and nobles, no matter what business they do, there is a market.

She paused and said, "During this time, many people have come to the village to buy land, is there any land left in the village?"

"People in the village now have people in every household to open a shop or work, everyone has no time to take care of the extra crops, basically no one buys land, despite this, I still plan to leave about 200 acres of land for the villagers, this land is the foundation of our farmers, in case the business can't go on one day, can you go back to farming?"

Li Zheng said with the corner of his clothes, "Those people in the city, all of them have money, I raised the price of wasteland to two taels of silver per mu, and they paid unequivocally, and once they bought it, it was fifty acres and one hundred acres, but I felt that selling land did not make money by renting land......

This warehouse covers an area of only two acres, more than 60 warehouses, and the income is also very considerable, and there will always be income in the future.

Selling land is a one-shot deal, selling it for a sum of money, and then there is nothing left, and I always feel a bit of a loss when I look back.

….

"The wasteland on the periphery will be sold if it is sold, and even if it is not sold, no one will rent it."

Gu Qing pointed to the area around the commercial street and said, "Don't sell the land near here, maybe the third and fourth phases will be built in the future, the bigger the commercial street, the more profitable the village will be."

Also, after the wasteland in Gujia Village is almost sold, I am afraid that some businessmen will pay a high price to buy the fertile land in the hands of the villagers, and Aunt Li Zheng had better issue a notice that if the villagers need to sell the land, they can only sell it to the village, and it is not allowed to sell it to outsiders."

In this era, land is the foundation of farmers, and once they lose their land, it is difficult to buy it back in the future.

While the two were chatting, Gu Yu jumped over and said, "Eldest sister, the master of the school said that the affairs of the village school need to be replanned, and I want to ask the eldest sister and Li Zheng to come over and give advice."

Li Zheng's face was full of comfort: "Your master is doing things quickly, let's go, let's go and see."

This time the village bought land

The tide is because of Dong Rong, and when Dong Rong is really admitted to the lift, I am afraid that the tide will be even worse.

Those businessmen couldn't wait to buy land and build houses, and the matter of the school naturally had to be put on the agenda quickly.

In the past, he and the county lord must have formulated the charter for this matter, but since the burden on his shoulders was divided, it was not his turn to worry about these matters, he only needed to listen to the results and give opinions.

The two followed Gu Yu to the place of the school.

The school is built near the ancestral hall of the Gu family, and the surrounding environment is relatively quiet, and the sound of students reading aloud is clearly heard, which is very pleasant.

The village school consisted of six houses, four of which were used as classrooms, one where the masters corrected the students' assignments, and the other where the two masters lived.

This school was originally built of green bricks, and the roof was covered with black tiles, which looked no worse than the Yunshan Academy in the town.

Many children sit in the classroom, the desks and chairs are neatly aligned, the children are full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the atmosphere of learning is also very strong.

The school has been established for nearly a year, every three months is counted as a period, some children who are not gifted in the last period, know a little words will not come again, some children like to read, then continue to read, if it is a gifted child, the two masters will set up a small classroom to teach.

It's just that the people in Gujia Village have been farmers for generations, and there are not many gifted children, except for Gu Yu and Gu Nuo Jinhua, the only person who can be lucky enough to join the small class is a little grandson of the Zhao family.

"In addition to the children in our village, there are also villagers from Yujia Village, Zhangjia Village, Zhujia Village and other villages who have also sent their children."

Master Sun opened his mouth and said the basic situation of the school, "A few days ago, the daughter of the old Xiucai of Dongjia Village came to me, hoping that Gujia Village could accept the students of Dongjia Village, so that the number of students may reach three hundred."

Li Zheng asked curiously, "Dong Laoxiu has only been teaching for thirty or forty years, why did he suddenly stop teaching?"

"Lao Xiucai is old, and the children are too noisy, and the body can't stand it."

Master Sun said, "Originally, I planned to pass on the school to his daughter, but recently, aren't there many people in Dongjia Village working in the workshop of the county lord's house, they can earn nearly one or two silver a month, which is much more than Lao Xiucai, and his daughter doesn't want to do this thankless job."

Gu Qing knew that this old Xiucai was teaching purely for charity, Dong Rong was talented back then, and Lao Xiucai took Dong Rong with him every day to teach him to read and write, and he didn't charge money.

Other children in Dongjia Village used to study, and they were not given money, but a pound of meat, ten eggs, a piece of cloth, and so on...... It is completely understandable that Lao Xiucai's daughter is unwilling to inherit the school.

A year ago, in the entire village of Youshui County, only Dongjia Village had a formal school.

A year later, this year, in these ten miles and eight townships, only Gujia Village has a school, and it is also a university hall with blue bricks and black tiles.
