Chapter 44 Accept the change of surname and count the money

Li Xiaoyue smiled and looked around at everyone, "Don't you care about changing your surname?" ”

Li Changlu waved his hand, not caring at all, "Anyway, the surname Liu, or the surname Li, it's almost the same for me, I don't care about anything." I'm more concerned about our business. ”

Xiucai's father ran away with others, and the soft rice was delicious, and it is estimated that he had long forgotten about them, the children of the countryside.

It doesn't matter if you follow your father's surname or not, what matters is whether you can make money and live a good life of eating and drinking spicy food.

Li Changlu thought that if he made a lot of money, no matter what, he would have to go to the county seat to see the shop.

Such a good thing cannot be monopolized by the eldest brother.

Zhou Xiaohua also urged, "Mother, hurry up, count the money and eat again, it is more fragrant." ”

Li Changhuan soaked a glass of dandelion water and brought it over, "Mother, you drink some water." ”

Li Xiaoyue was talking dry, took the water, and took a few sips, "It's still Changhuan who is careful, you guys, just keep an eye on the money." However, you are right, today is the first day we have opened in the county, count the money and then eat. ”

Li Changlu smiled, and then poured the copper coin directly on the table, "Start counting the money!" ”

The sound of copper coins colliding is the best sound in the world.

Several people sat down around the table, and used hemp rope to string a hundred wen into a string, and then ten strings of copper coins were strung together, which was a thousand wen, one tael of silver.

Li Xiaoyue is looking at the account book, although Brother Li records it very neatly, but it is all text, which makes Li Xiaoyue, who is used to reading digital reports, very uncomfortable.

Li Xiaoyue took her bookkeeping book again and recorded it again with numbers, which was clear at a glance.

Fifty-seven furnaces were sold today, one hundred and fifty yuan, which is eight thousand five hundred and fifty yuan.

Honeycomb coal sold for 8,700 yuan, most of which will not be delivered until tomorrow. A penny for a piece of honeycomb coal, that's 8,700 yuan.

Today, all the income is 17,250 yuan, which is converted into silver, that is, 17 taels and 50 yuan.

Now I have broken silver in my hand, a total of five taels and two coins, and the rest are copper coins.

After a quarter of an hour of counting the money, several people finally counted the copper coins, and the copper coins on the table, a total of 12,500 yuan, plus the amount of broken silver, happened to match the account book.

Li Changlu looked at the account book, and after a rough estimate, he was slightly disappointed, "Mother, let's hire someone, and spend two taels of silver a day, and then remove the money from the stove, we will earn seven taels of silver!" ”

Hearing Li Changlu's words, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but laugh, "Earn so much in one day, is it still less?" In the past, I couldn't even save seven taels of silver a year. ”

"Quite a lot, quite a lot." Li Changlu smiled, and felt that he was too much, "This month, there are two hundred taels of silver." ”

Li Xiaoyue glanced at Li Changlu, "The pattern is small, right?" There are about 12,000 households in our county, and even if only ordinary people buy our stoves, this is 6,000 households. A family burns five pieces of honeycomb coal a day, which is 30,000 pieces of honeycomb coal. ”

"You can sell 30,000 pieces of honeycomb coal in one day, 30 taels of silver, and after removing the cost, at least 25 taels of silver, can you earn more than 7800 taels this month?"

Everyone originally thought that one person would earn more than 200 taels of silver, but it was already a lot.

Hearing Li Xiaoyue's calculation, eight hundred taels of silver? Oh my God, I've never seen so much silver in my life.

When Li Changfu heard that he could make so much money, he immediately said, "Mother, when we make money, let's build a house and live more comfortably." ”

"In the past, the bricks on our side were very expensive, and they had to be used for that person to study, and the house in the family had never been built. Now that I'm making money, I'm going to build a good house and a big house for my mother. ”

Li Changlu also agreed, "Big brother is right, build a house." The third child is about to talk about his daughter-in-law. has a good house, can be said to be a good daughter-in-law. ”

The third child, Li Changshou, smiled shyly, as always, with few words, "Hard work, mother." ”

The fourth child, Li Changxi, has a lively mind, and the family has money, maybe his mother can promise him to take the exam a few more times, and she can also give him more pocket money.

Li Xiaoyue looked around at everyone, and then immediately said, "If you make money, you have to work harder." Changfu suggested very well, build a house, I will arrange. Longevity said daughter-in-law, I will take it to heart. ”

"As for Changxi, you remember it for me, study hard for me, whether you have money or not, if you don't get into the Xiucai exam twice, you will come down to work for me. If you are so busy at home, no one will provide for you in vain. ”

"The fifth child is not in good health, but I heard Mr. Gongsun say that this year, Doctor Yu will come to us, he has excellent medical skills, and when the time comes, we will ask him to see a doctor in Chang'an and strive to cure Chang'an."

"Thank you, mother." When Li Changan heard this, he was very excited, his body was panting as soon as he ran, and he had no strength in his body.

As soon as I read a book, I get dizzy, and when I work, I feel weak, and now I can only herd cattle and sheep at home.

"No thanks, you are my son, I will try my best to save you." Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Next, I want to talk about your wages." ”

At this time, Li Changlu's face was flattering, "Mother, I have a sharp mouth, and I am also lively, and I will definitely be able to do better in the future when the county store business is handed over to me." ”

Of course, Li Xiaoyue couldn't agree, but she didn't say directly: "Changlu, you have grown a lot recently, you are more careful in your work, and you are sharp-tongued, I have more important tasks for you." ”

Originally, when he heard his mother praise him, Li Changlu thought that his mother had agreed, but he didn't expect that he was asked to do other things and not let him do this fat job.

"Mother, you really like big brother." Li Changlu muttered, a little dissatisfied.

Li Xiaoyue knew that Li Changlu would be like this, and she didn't get angry and reprimanded, they were all adults, and they couldn't beat their sons all day long.

Li Xiaoyue is a civilized person, a gentleman does not use his words, and it is useful to deal with people like his second son Li Changlu with a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.

"Changlu, you have a sharp mouth and good eloquence, your brother can't talk about you, this is your great merit, so the task I gave you is even more important. We have more than 30 people in our family, and there are many things going on. ”

"Digging stones, digging yellow mud, sifting out large pieces of stone and mud, and then making honeycomb coal, as well as furnace production, and later transporting honeycomb coal, before and after, inside and out, need people to communicate. It's a very important job, and you're best suited to do it. ”

Li Changlu, who was still a little unhappy, envied his eldest brother in the county seat, and his eyes lit up when he heard his mother's words.

He stayed in the village, and although it was not as prosperous as the county seat, he could manage dozens of people.

Li Changfu also echoed at this time, "Changlu, there are so many people, you also know that I am short-tempered, and when I communicate with others, I am easy to quarrel, but you are different." ”

"Since you were a child, you have been eloquent, you talk to people, you can talk to anyone, I can rest assured that you are here. In my absence, you will be a good son and a good brother in my place. ”

As soon as these two jars of honey were poured, Li Changlu was proud in his heart, "It's also said that no one can take care of this big mess at home." The third child is a stuffy gourd, the fourth child has to study, and the fifth child is not in good health, so he has to rely on me. ”

Li Xiaoyue chuckled, "It was meant to be!" After talking about the duties, let's talk about the reward. Let's hire other people to pay for it, and I'll take care of the accounts in our house, but I'll pay all of you. ”

"The eldest and second, and third, are adults, and they do a lot of work, and each person earns 100 yuan a day. The fourth, by copying the risk notice, make money, ten pennies. ”

Li Changxi heard that he only had ten pennies for one penny, and when he wrote a thousand, he only paid one hundred pennies.

But he can't copy so much in a day, and he can't earn a hundred wen at all.

"Mother, this is not fair." Li Changxi retorted that he had to fight for the greatest benefit for himself, otherwise the money earned by his family would not be his turn.

Li Xiaoyue looked at her fourth son Li Changxi, and seemed to be smiling, this fourth son began to itch again!
