Chapter 80 The Villa Teaches People
"Miss, does the big red horse really know the way? You won't get lost. After a moment of silence, Garland couldn't help but ask.
"Garland, can you stabilize the point, Miss's things are excellent, you have to learn what you can say and what you can't say when you follow Miss. Otherwise, it will cause trouble to the young lady, and the trouble will come from the mouth, do you understand. ”
"Sister Lian, it's not like someone else is in the garland to say it, and the garland won't talk nonsense when you return to the villa."
"Garland, you remember what Hualien said. I don't have any secrets about your young lady, but there are some things that can't be too ostentatious. If we cause trouble because of our own unscrupulous words, it will be too late to regret it. Yuqing said with a pleasant face.
"Yes! Miss, the lei remembered. ”
"The big red horse was sent by the owner of the small castle of Yanwai Castle, and I want to have a horse from your master, and it is fed with fine grass and herbs to improve physical fitness on weekdays, and it is inevitable to run fast." Yuqing looked at the garland with a curious expression and explained with a smile.
"Miss, the slave maid wonders if she can feed some herbs to the cows, there are a lot of fields in the six courtyards, but there are not a few ploughing cattle in the villa. When we plough in the spring, we need a lot of manpower, and we don't know how many people can come, and I am afraid that the manpower to build a house is not enough. ”
"Hey, the garland still has the potential to be a housekeeper's wife, and you will have to worry more about the affairs of the six courtyards in the future. Miss Ploughing the Cows, I want to find a way to buy one, and save the need to use the cows in the villa in shifts with everyone. Yuqing said lightly, recognizing his aunt and finding his brother again, and there was a long list of zeros on the performance value page in the space supermarket. Yuqing decides to buy a mechanical cow and come back.
"Master, you're spending money again. It's not as cheap to buy a cow as a multi-functional farming machine. "The soul pen has settled the accounts for the jade in the divine consciousness again.
"Yuyu, you think I haven't thought about it, master, how can the machine explain to others, raising cattle that don't eat forage is a troublesome thing."
"Master, then buy another horse and a cow, and keep them together. Mechanical horses, mechanical cows eat sunlight, and ordinary horses and cows eat forage. ”
"Okay, but your master and I have money in the space, and there is not much silver outside."
"Master, you can switch energy now. In the past, the master's soul skill was in its infancy, and there was a big gap in the proportion of conversion, but with the continuous improvement of the master's soul skill, the proportion of currency in and out of the space was gradually narrowing. Now it is five to one, and in time it will become one to one, and even the performance value in the space is higher than the silver outside the space. Master, you will be a rich woman in the future. “
"Oh, that's great news, it's much easier to get things done with silver."
"Farmer's apprentice, when you came, you promised the eldest young master to buy some thick and thin noodles to go back, did you forget?" When Yuqing lowered his head and had a magical power with the soul pen, the old man who had not spoken asked a question.
"I didn't forget, apprentice, I also bought seeds in the town, and they were all in the dark compartment of the carriage."
"Dark? Isn't it under the seat? The garland came again and asked spiritually.
"Garland, don't move, we have reached the boundary of Yanwai Castle, and the carriage will be home after a while."
"Miss, I don't dare to let go of my grip on the ring, our carriage seems to be running all the time."
"Master, you girl is like a curious baby, but it's better to ask than to think in your heart." The voice of the soul pen sounded in his consciousness.
"Yuyu, Hualien didn't ask but thought more, but she was just a person who knew how to measure. Hey, the activities of the gods in the ancient castle outside Yanwai are also a little abnormal. “
"Yes, there are a lot of unstable souls, and Yuyu guesses that there are wounded soldiers in the castle."
"Yuyu, shouldn't the soldiers in the ancient castle also go to the border to help fight the Tartar Bandits?" Yuqing carefully sensed the soul movement in the ancient castle and said.
Yanwai Castle is very nervous now, and there are dozens of unkempt but unkempt wounded soldiers who have not diminished their spirits at all: "Lord of Double Eagle Castle, this is a letter from the Lord of Dazhai." A man with a wooden stick looked at Yan Shuangying and said.
The letter looked a little heavy, and Yan Shuangying only fell out of half a piece of jade after opening the lacquer seal: "Come to envoy, I don't know what the master sent this time?" Yan Shuangying asked excitedly.
"Little Castle Master, this time we have dozens of wounded soldiers here, and we want to recuperate here in the ancient castle. In the future, there will be people who will infiltrate the imperial city, and the ancient castle is ready to respond. ”
"No problem, the twin eagles will wake up Lang Zhong in the ancient castle, and the imperial city will also be prepared."
"This is not in a hurry, they have all been treated, we are in a starry night rush and just want to eat immediately and then go to the barracks. This confrontation at the border was particularly tragic, and we lost many of our brothers. ”
"Come, do you need us to go over for reinforcements?"
"Your duties remain the same, stay in the imperial city and prepare for the restoration of the country at any time."
"The master finally wants to act, I don't know what happened to the master's injury? The last time I saw my master, Shuangying was only ten years old, and more than ten years have passed. ”
"The master's injuries have improved, and this time he has been holding on to the border with us for several months. When the envoy came, the last battle had already been fought, and the inevitable result of a big victory was not surprising, but the strength of the coalition forces of several small countries was much stronger than before. That's why the master wants you to accept some of the wounded soldiers here, and after recovering from the wounds, you will stay to enrich the strength here. ”
"Understand, everything is according to the master's arrangement." The soul movement gradually became distant and could not be felt.
Yuqing's carriage quickly crossed the Yanwai Castle and ran past the Yuanwai Villa before slowing down, and the sky was already slightly bright. Back at the lodge, it's time for the running army in the lodge to exercise. I saw that the running team had expanded a lot, and the young women were mixed with children, talking while running, and they were not divided into concubines and side branches.
"Master Langzhong, you rush to the Sixth Courtyard, and a few of us will participate in the run." Yuqing said with relief.
"Okay, the master is going to eat in your six courtyards." Lao Langzhong was also in a good mood.
When Yuqing returned to the Sixth Courtyard, the hot meal had already been set on three tables. Round buns, thick coarse rice porridge, appetizing dried pickles. The original deserted six courtyards of four people have now increased several times. The Garland family and Vice General Shao were masters and apprentices, and with the addition of people who came to learn the noodle craft, the little twenty people ate happily.
"Miss Zhuang, let's come here to learn the craft and take care of two meals, you are really a good host." An aunt said gratefully.
"Auntie, the owner is my eldest brother Ye Jing, and I also asked my younger brother to support that gang."
"Listen, this is the family. The sisters and brothers have both let go, and everyone takes care of this family and is not greedy for merit, which is like our courtyard, and everyone is afraid of taking advantage of it. An aunt was envious.
"Zhen'er, mother, you gave birth to a good girl. I heard that you will go to Ye Jing's noodle shop on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is good to be able to get out of the noisy yard all day long and go out to earn money. ”
"Her sister-in-law, you can also go out and make money to support your family. There is a food court outside the walls of the villa, and it is just right for you and your daughter to rent a small stall to sell pasta. ”
"I don't want to do even if I have a stall in each yard, let alone pay rent. We didn't divide the family, but we had to pay the money to the public middle school, and we were tired enough to feed a courtyard. ”
"Miss Zhuang, your idea is very good, but it's not easy to carry it out." An aunt said with deep sympathy.
"Auntie, it doesn't matter if the people in the villa don't want to do this, the owner of the village can attract investment. In two days, the masons would come and repair the wall next to the official road on the side of the planned villa, and whoever would rent it would pay the rent every three months. A few of our young ladies in charge are still worry-free. Yuqing said with a smile.
"How can that be, this is the territory of our Ye Villa." An aunt said disapprovingly.
"Just because it is the site of the villa, we charge rent, and our villa has been built for more than 100 years, but we have never seen the site earn a copper plate. Uncle, I talked about this a few years ago, you can rent it or not, we want one in the six courtyards. Now that the uncles, uncles, and brothers are gone, and the physical strength of the farming aunts and aunts is poor, wouldn't it be a good thing to make money in a different way to raise the land. Ye Jing stood up and said in support of her sister.
"It's good to use business to raise land, Young Master Ye Jing, you are smart enough at a young age. My old man also wants a stall to sell medicine and diagnose patients on the street, which is easier than walking through the streets and alleys, and when he is hungry, he will go to a nearby stall to eat something, and if he is too tired, he will not go out of the stall and sleep at home. Lao Langzhong also said.
"Miss Zhuang, we are all Zhuang people and don't collect rent, okay?"
"Auntie, the reason for collecting rent is that one is because of the silver invested in the early repair, the second is because the Zhuang soldiers in the villa want to protect your interests, and the third is to increase some of the income of the villa. The daily life of the lonely and widowed old people in the villa, the improvement of their lives during the New Year's holidays, and the silver apportioned by the imperial court every year. These have already spent all the money earned by the dozen or so shops belonging to the villa, if there is any natural or man-made disaster, can you apportionment the required money to everyone when there is no money in the villa? In the past, when the old owner was there, he was the head of the long house and the courtyard to find a way to temporarily turn around, and at the end of the year, he was paying back the silver. Now that we have a team in charge, we try to think of everything we can think of, and we won't trouble all of you if we can. When the villa has money in the future, it will also set up a villa school and a villa clinic...... These are all related to the interests of everyone in the villa, and everyone is happy to make money in the food court, so why is it that they are not willing to spend money on the big family of the villa. Yuqing still said with a smile, but in the end, he became sharp.
"Miss Zhuang, we are not the home of the villa, how can we know that the villa still needs so much silver."
"Aunt and uncle, in the future, the villa will also make its current accounts public once every three months. The dozen or so shops in the villa are also a three-month account, and our three young ladies are the heads of the entire villa, and we also have our own yards behind us. It is also worthy of the trust of the people and the upbringing of our family. “
"Master, I didn't expect you to be like holding a meeting of the Zhuangmin just when you came back, but it's a pity that only a few people came." The soul pen said again in the Yuqing Divine Sense.
"Yuyu, you must not underestimate the transmission ability of these middle-aged women, this is also a little drizzle for them. When the time comes to convene the Zhuangmin Assembly, they will all be prepared. “
"Master, you can also take advantage of this time difference to learn some of their mental activities."
"Yuyu, how can your master have that time."
"It's not a problem that the master doesn't have time, Yuyu can play it back for the owner on the spot. Hey, where are you going if you don't rest, there is a commotion in the Seventh Courtyard. “
"Go to the villa to see the shopkeeper and the bookkeeper who came to learn the bookkeeping method, it's strange that the courtyard won't make trouble one day, and I'll wait for your live playback."
Learning is already being done in the council hall of the Lodge. Ye Jing, who came with Yuqing, quietly sat down next to a shopkeeper when he entered the door, and listened to Zhen'er's lecture very carefully.
"In the past few days, we have learned how to write and read ten numbers, and we can count a hundred numbers proficiently. Today we are starting to apply these numbers to the accounts, which requires learning addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division......" Seeing Yuqing walk in, Zhen'er did not stop lecturing, but continued with a smile. Yuqing is very satisfied with this, Zhen'er is much more stable than Ye Xuan.
"Owner, you have returned, and some of the women who went out with you came back the same day, and some stayed in the country for one night. There are already more than 100 long-term and short-term workers registered here in the villa, the owner, how many people have you found? Ye Xuan pulled Yuqing to the courtyard and asked.
"I've found two groups of people, but the specifics haven't been decided yet. How are these people learning? “
"I didn't want to learn at first, but now I'm going to learn seriously. Duku's bookkeeping method is so good, you don't need to write so many words, and you can keep the accounts clearly. However, there are also two who are not very enthusiastic, probably because they are afraid that they will not be able to do anything in the accounts in the future. “
"Ye Xuan, there will be such people at any time, so I advocate taking stock of accounts every three months. And now Zhen'er has also gone to the restaurant in the imperial city, and she also has a certain understanding of the various conditions in the market, that is, in the future, they will have eaten all this set of bookkeeping methods, and it will not be easy to fool us. “
"Owner, after the first month of February, it is February, and the beginning of February is the beginning of the Youth Festival. There are more than 30 school-age girls in our villa, and there are just 20 people who have the idea of going on a blind date for the Youth Festival. There are even more people who want to set up stalls to make money during the three days of the festival. These people want to seek the protection of Zhuang Bing, but the ghost boss has not yet agreed. “
"Ye Xuan, there are officers and soldiers patrolling at any time during the Qingqing Festival, if anyone wants extra protection, the ghost boss can't pay for free." Yuqing talked about his thoughts.
"Ghost boss, they also mean the same, we will bring twenty girls over collectively, and the next thing is not something we can control. We can't talk about it, and we're still disagreeing with others. “
"Ye Xuan, you put these ideas into words, in a few days we will hold a meeting of the villagers, and the matter of going out and the food street will be discussed together."
"Okay, when they get out of class, we'll work together on the specific terms."
"It's okay to think about everything you can think of as thoroughly as possible......"
"Miss Zhuang, someone from Yanwai Castle has come to ask you to come over and save your life!" Before Yuqing's words were finished, he was interrupted by the ghost three on duty.
"Yanwai Castle?" Yuqing was puzzled.
