Sole Favor Husband Section 403
Knowing that Li Xiaorui was very concerned about the few children he personally selected, from time to time he would set aside some of his meals for people to send over, so she followed suit.
She loves food, but her personal appetite is limited, and in the past, she couldn't finish the food, and she threw it away.
Now that she has married into the Li family, she knows that doing good deeds is not just about donating money and materials, and she is ashamed of her previous waste, while quickly following Li Xiaorui's example.
With the autumn, the temperature has dropped a lot, and the autumn tiger has lost the power of previous years, Tao Zhu thought of the situation in the previous two years, so he shifted a lot of his thoughts to the purchase of cotton.
Last year, the people in Shengjing City got cotton clothes, but the people outside the city did not receive them, and now the temperature has dropped significantly in autumn, and this winter is afraid that it will be as difficult as last year.
Therefore, Tao Zhu deliberately hung up a notice at the gate of the city, and the Li family purchased a large amount of cotton, and the purchase location was in the branch of Shantang Academy, and the price per catty was one penny higher than the market price.
This article is very important to farmers.
One pound is more than one penny, and a thousand catties is a thousand wen.
Moreover, because of the cold winter for two consecutive years, there are many people who grow cotton this year, and the price of cotton has also risen a little compared with previous years.
Now the Li family is still willing to be one penny higher than the market price, so what are you waiting for?
Hurry up and send your cotton to the branch of Shantang Academy!
Fan Yuanyuan learned that Li Qiao and Taozhu bought cotton, and they were very impressed.
However, as a family of merchants, the Fan family does not have many fields in Shengjing, and cotton is not grown in these fields.
But the Fan family's hometown grows cotton.
Because she has a cloth village in Jincheng Mansion.
The Fan family does not have much industry in Shengjing, a territory where imperial relatives and relatives are everywhere, and the main business of the Fan family is in Jincheng Mansion.
It's the same with hers, most of the fields and shops she married are in Jincheng Mansion.
She wants to donate all the cotton she grows in her own field this year to the Charitable Hall.
When Tao Zhu heard this, he first praised her, and then shook his head and refused, Jincheng Mansion is too far away from Shengjing, there is no need, it is enough to have this heart.
Fan Yuanyuan was rejected, pursed his lips and thought about it, and then said: "Uncle Zhu, then I will simply send those cotton to the people of Jincheng, and when it is cold in the future, just like Shantang, directly let the poor people who are not clothed go to my cloth village to receive cotton." ”
"You child, it's only been a long time since you married into the Li family, and it's just for you to spend money. It's okay, there's an official mansion over there in Jincheng. ”
Tao Zhu shook his head.
How embarrassing this is, Li Qiao didn't give the Fan family any substantial benefits, how could he let Fan Yuanyuan keep taking money and things outside.
"I didn't spend my money, Ershan gave me his silver, let me spend it as I wanted, what a lot of silver, plus my dowry, I have money."
Fan Yuanyuan patted his heart with a smile, looking angry.
Tao Zhu looked at her proud little appearance in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "That's not possible, you two are juniors, how can you use your silver." Moreover, the Li family can't spend your dowry openly. ”
"But I also want to do something for the people! In the past, I only knew that I was eating Hesse, and after I married Ershan, I realized that there are so many meaningful things in the world, and I want to do these things. ”
Fan Yuanyuan opened his round eyes and said very seriously.
"Then you can follow me to buy cotton."
Tao Zhu still does not let go.
The Fan family married their daughter, how could he be embarrassed to let the juniors pay the money, and with the current family background of the Li family, he could still withstand these expenses.
These shops are really profitable.
After Fan Yuanyuan was rejected, she was not discouraged, she told her father Fan Buyu about it, Fan Buyu praised her behavior, and said that the entire Fan family would contribute at that time.
In the past, the Fan family, as a big fat sheep who owned several mines and had 300,000 acres of arable land, had to spend a lot of silver every year to keep the Fan family's property.
In fact, under the repeated governance of Sheng Jun and Shenghong's father and son, the situation of Dasheng officials cheating business has been much better, and there are few tragedies in which officials encroach on the merchant's property and the merchant's family is ruined.
But if you want to make the business bigger and stronger, the businessman himself has to have a good eye, otherwise there are some convenient doors, why should the officials in power leave others to open for his Fan family?
The Fan family is in the coal business, and mining is prone to accidents, although his family attaches great importance to safety work, but there are still accidents over the years.
However, because he was generous to the deceased and the officials involved, the officials of the Ministry of Industry did not hold them accountable.
That's what silver is for.
Fan Bu understands this truth very well, so he pays filial piety and respect every year, and the Fan family's business is getting bigger and bigger, so that he has lived in Shengjing for a long time in the past few years, and wants to get involved in the business community in Shengjing.
But there are too many nobles in Shengjing, and there are too many big businessmen with strong financial resources, he has been in Shengjing for a few years, and his family's main business is still selling coal.
Other shops, such as cloth and porcelain, are not going well.
However, since the news of Fan Yuanyuan and Li Ershan's marriage spread, his family's business has been much better than before, and those who asked him to order coal and discussed with him to carry out other aspects of cooperation have been visited almost every day.
Especially on the Jincheng side, those officials who needed him to spend money on it actually returned the silver he gave out before!
From now on, the Fan family doesn't need to give officials filial piety silver!
That's a lot of money saved!
Although Lord Li did not give him any benefits, with the banner of Lord Li, the Fan family will definitely take off in the future.
So, what is it to donate some silver and cotton?
These are what the Fan family needs to give, and now they are spent on the people, and the power should be to accumulate virtue.
Chapter 213: Knowing that Li Qiao's fans entered Beijing. This year it was cold early.
Fan Bu sent a letter to his hometown, asking his family to buy cotton in Jincheng Mansion, relying only on the little cotton grown by his family, which was not used at all. After all, his family only grows cotton for Fan Yuanyuan's cloth village.
After writing the letter, I thought that Li Qiao had also opened a shop in Yuncheng Mansion and Changzhi Mansion, so I picked up the pen again and added these two mansions as well.
In terms of his family's financial resources, buying this little bit of cotton in Sanfu is nothing at all, but this matter can accumulate virtue and leave a good impression on Lord Li, and this little money is too well spent.
Fan Yuanyuan integrated into the Li family so quickly, and the Xin family, who had been paying attention to the Li family, attached great importance to it, and immediately followed the example of the Fan family.
Their family is also very kind-hearted.
However, Sheng Jing and they can't intervene, after all, Li Qiao is there, and they can't be seen.
But the Xin family also has a hometown.
Huaidong Mansion is the territory of the Xin family, buying cotton, no problem, trivial, the Xin family is not short of money.
Speaking of which, the saint is really conniving at Li Qiao, and even allowed the marriage of Li Qiao and the Ming governor.
Li Qiao has won the sacred heart so much, and his Xin family wants to return to the power center of Dasheng, so he naturally has to follow Li Qiao's steps.
So, when Xin Zhi came to Li Yu'an to discuss marriage, he talked to Li Qiao about the Xin family's purchase of cotton in Huaidong Mansion.
Huaidong Province is in Hu'an Province, very close to Jiangshu Province, close to Taihu Lake, let's say south, not south, but not north.
There are not many people who grow cotton here, but in the first two years, Huaidong Mansion was indeed quite cold, and the people needed cotton.
Therefore, the Xin family simply bought some cotton in Dongshan Province and shipped it to Huaidong Province.
This year can only be so emergency, and next year the Xin family will grow some cotton.
Li Qiao couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.
Wu Anhou also fought hard for the Xin family, and even bought cotton across provinces, and the cement road between Dongshan Province and Hui'an Province has not been repaired, and the freight alone is more expensive than cotton.
Back then, Wu Anhou didn't stand up and tell the truth, and as a bystander, he didn't judge right or wrong.
But the Xin family has worked hard over the years, and Xin Zhi is also a good young man, and now that the imperial court is employing people, it is a bit of a waste to let Xin Zhi continue to stay in the Hanlin Academy.
However, with the lessons of the third prince and the fifth prince in front of him, he did not dare to meddle in the promotion of officials.
However, according to what Gao Zhiyuan wrote in the booklet, Sheng Hong was in urgent need of talents in his previous life, although he had him in this life, his influence was limited, and Sheng Hong still needed a lot of talents to stabilize the situation in various places.
At that time, he will find a way to recommend Xin Zhi.
And explained.
The Ming governor's hometown is in Beihu Province, a little far away from Shengjing, and after he received the letter from the Ming governor, he immediately packed his bags and entered Beijing.
Hurry up and hurry, and finally came to Shengjing at the beginning of the ninth lunar month.
First rested in the house of the Ming Governor for two days, repaired it, and then he handed a prayer note to the Li family.
Li Qiao attaches great importance to it, and this family business is also approved by Sheng Hong, so he specially asked for a day off to see Ming.
As described by Governor Ming, Mingxi has good facial features and a Chinese face, and, to Li Qiao's surprise, Mingxi turned out to be his fan......
Of course, there is no concept of fans at this time, but when I look at Li Qiao, my face is full of admiration, and when I talk about Li Qiao's fortune experience, it seems that I have seen it with my own eyes, which is clearer than Li Qiao himself.
mentioned the set of books that Li Qiao wrote when he was in the Hanlin Academy to facilitate the scientific examination of students all over the world, and he was even more gushing, boasting, saying that this set of reference books would bring together cumbersome knowledge points, and also mark the key points, reading this set of reference books, which is equivalent to reading hundreds of related books.
How much effort does this save?
It is important to know that there are not many books in remote areas, and it is very difficult to collect books on water conservancy, disaster prevention and treatment, agriculture, and law.
Moreover, this is still something that only rich people can do, and some students from poor families have the effort and money to collect relevant books?
This set of books compiled by Li Qiao has helped students all over the world a lot.
As long as you thoroughly read these four books, coupled with solid basic skills, you will have no problem in passing the exam.
I know that this is how I got in.
Also, this set of books can not only make people gain fame, but also really let people master a lot of skills, to be honest, if he is now the governor of any county, then he is confident that he will govern this county well.
Li Qiao looked at Mingxi's face that was flushed with excitement, and felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
The weather was good today, so after sitting in the study for a while, he took Ming Xi to the persimmon tree in the West Cross Courtyard.
At this moment, Li Yuning was standing behind the osmanthus tree not far away. Knowing that this compliment was all listened to by Li Yuning, a junior.
But the world loves to hear compliments, and he is no exception.
Besides, what I said is also the truth.
The set of reference books he compiled has become a treasure trove for students all over the world in just a few years.
Jiang Mao came to visit him at home before, and he brought a special set to ask him for advice on what he didn't understand.
Compared with Jiang Mao's recklessness and pride, he was much more simple when he knew it, and as soon as they met, he put the topic on him and praised him from head to toe.
He likes such real people.
However, although she likes to listen to this, Li Qiao still interrupts the rainbow fart.
