Gu Xiaoyu thought about what she said seriously, and nodded after a while, "My son understands, but if they really reveal the formula, the business will definitely be affected, and when the time comes, will the in-laws be willing?" ”

Gu Huanxi sighed, "What if you are willing or not?" The daughter-in-law's maiden family can't be ignored, people live in the world, who can really leave human favor and only act according to the rules? ”

After a pause, she smiled and touched Gu Xiaoyu's head again, and said, "They passed on the formula, in fact, the impact is not very big, at most, the business is colder, but if you make less, you can make less, after all, the roots of the people are still fields, and they are all going to do business, who will grow crops?" ”

Gu Xiaoyu's heart moved, and blurted out, "The founding emperor of Dayong does not pay attention to agriculture and suppress business, on the contrary, he, he advocates business, he thinks that when commerce is prosperous, there will be a rich country and a strong people, so when he was in power, he improved the status of merchants, and allowed the sons of merchants to participate in the imperial examination, many academies and martial arts academies in the capital have the sons of merchants, and require the academies to treat everyone equally, and there must be no despised behavior, and even in order to develop commerce and increase taxes, the city has changed the time of the curfew and postponed it to the sub-hour, at night, The shops on several main streets are lit by lanterns. ”

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi looked at him and said, "It's not wrong not to suppress business, and it's not wrong to advocate and encourage moderately, but you can't go beyond agriculture, agriculture is the foundation, business is supplemented, once this balance is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Later generations vigorously developed commercial activities, that is because grain production has increased substantially, and mechanized operations have liberated too many laborers, so what can you do if you don't do business? At that time, there was no shortage of food to eat, no matter how poor it was, it could still rely on foreign imports, but now, the conditions are backward in all aspects, and there are fewer people who farm the land, and they will immediately fall into a food crisis, not to mention that there is still a drought from time to time, and the imperial court has not done much, that is, it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and the top is sitting for the Ming monarch, and it is mainly agriculture, otherwise the food will not be enough to eat.

Unless......

Gu Huanxi thought about those sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in the RV, unless these high-yield grains were popularized, it would be possible to stop worrying about hunger.

Next year, I don't know if there will be a chance to take it out.

……

Next, Xu Huaiyi got up in the stars and the moon, persisted for seven days, and saw that the tofu workshop was on the right track, and there was nothing he needed to keep an eye on, so he could finally sleep peacefully.

In the past seven days, Gu Huanxi only went to see the account book once in the afternoon, and she taught Liu Xiuwen to use the way of making accounts in later generations, drawing simple forms, and so many records in and out every day, which are clear at a glance and extremely convenient to see.

The daily income is also considerable, and there is no hope of making a fortune, but it doesn't take too much effort to be a small landlord who doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

The villagers also tasted the sweetness, at the beginning of the timid and conservative group of people, only dared to move some white tofu to the nearby village to sell, but they could also earn a few dozen dollars a day, originally quite satisfied, but things were afraid of comparison, and then saw other people set up stalls to sell snacks can earn them several times the silver, immediately changed their careers.

Now the people in the village have spontaneously allocated the territory of each family, anyway, the capital is big enough, but there is no need to worry about robbing each other's business, making money together, and everyone is happy.

It's just a little busy, but also tired, you have to get up before dawn, first buy tofu from the Gu family, and then use the car to push dozens of miles to sell, and you have to do it while recruiting guests, often each family has to go out with two or three people, otherwise it can't be called.

But no matter how busy and tired, the villagers are also willing, every day to go home to earn back silver, this day to have a head, there is a head, there is a head, there is more smile on the face, people also look at the spirit, meet each other to greet each other, the voice is bright, walking with the wind, even with the whole village seems to wake up from the silence, full of vitality.

The people of Harota Village were envious.

Seeing this, Village Chief Xu secretly wiped a handful of tears with joy, and whispered to his eldest son in private, "Even if Dad is dead now, he can smile Jiuquan." ”

When Xu Changsong heard this, he panicked and hurriedly persuaded, "Where is this?" The good days are still ahead, and when the big guys have made money, they can buy land, build houses, marry daughters-in-law for their sons, and get up again with stubble, without lack of food and drink, and spare money to study in the school. ”

Village Chief Xu smiled so hard that his old eyes narrowed, "Yes, it was only applauded at that time, if our village can provide a few more people who can study, hey, just thinking about it makes me feel that the days are beautiful." ”

When Xu Changsong heard this, he suddenly asked strangely, "Won't you still point to Huaiyi to study and look forward to the green smoke on the ancestral grave of the Xu family?" ”

Village Chief Xu asked rhetorically, "What's the matter?" Can't you? ”

Xu Changsong sensed the oppression and said with a dry smile, "It's not that it can't be done, but you just think that you are too confident in him?" I admit that he is very capable, but being capable does not mean that he has talent for reading, and how old is he? At this time, is it too late to read? ”

Village Chief Xu snorted displeasedly, "That's because you don't know him well enough, if you are not sure, do you think you will do it according to his temperament?" Along the way, you haven't seen it clearly, have you? In our eyes, no matter how difficult it is to do it, it is not a problem when it comes to him, so he said that if he wants to study, then he will definitely be able to read a famous place. ”

Xu Changsong still wanted to say something, but was unceremoniously slapped by his father, "If you pour cold water again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will beat you to death!" ”

Xu Changsong, "......"

Who is the son? He is not allowed to question it?

It's not that he is small-minded and can't see Xu Huaiyi's good, but he doesn't see a little bit of the temperament of a scholar from Xu Huaiyi.

At this time, Gu Huanxi was also worried about Xu Huaiyi's study, after the tofu shop stabilized, the enemy was ready to move, and wanted to check the details of the neighbor next door, but she didn't stop it, but when he wanted to enter the city, he reminded him, "By the way, go to Jingwu Academy and ask, when will people recruit students, don't delay the registration." ”

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi's scalp suddenly went numb, "Daughter-in-law, don't be in such a hurry, right?" I seem to have heard someone say before, the college is generally divided into spring and autumn two enrollments, we must have missed it this year, or wait until next spring to ask, I still think ......"

Gu Huanxi cut off the words expressionlessly, "Do you want to retreat?" ”

Xu Huaiyi immediately shook his head as if he was about to fall off, "I definitely didn't mean that!" ”

"Then you're not in a hurry to sign up, what kind of moth do you want to use this time to do?"

"Huh? No, I just want to expand the business of the tofu shop a little further and make more money. ”

Gu Huanxi raised his eyebrows, showing his disbelief, "Really? Don't you have other plans? ”

Xu Huaiyi swore and said, "It's really not, I just see that it's too slow for Gao Zhuang to expand the channels alone, and I want to start the reputation of our tofu shop in the capital as soon as possible, so that I can go to Jingwu Academy to study with peace of mind in the future, otherwise, I can't rest assured that you can't be relieved."
