The landowner's wife of the imperial examination

Chapter 143
Moreover, during the slack season, it is not troublesome for the family to build a few houses with the labor force that does not cost money, and the green bricks that are burned by themselves.

But this aroused the enthusiasm of Zhuangzi's superiors and subordinates to do things, which was unexpected.

There is also a farmhouse near Zhuangzi. I heard that Zhuangzi fired bricks, and there were people who ordered them in the past. This was a surprise.

Although Jiang Changxi didn't like these three melons and two dates, but the housekeeper and the accountant liked them, and they thought they were very promising.

The manpower was specially organized, and some bricks were burned out during the slack season and placed on the Zhuangzi.

The housekeeper said, it doesn't matter if no one buys them, they can be used to repair the wall, anyway, Zhuangzi is so big, it is not afraid that it will not be used up.

Those men are also willing, people have said, they are happy to burn some bricks and tiles when they are full and live well.

And obviously they have all become skilled workers, which is quite popular in Zhuangzi.

What's more, the housekeeper is subsidizing copper coins.

The stewards of the other villages came over and saw the situation here, basically they all came to ask for people to burn bricks in their village.

Compared with transportation, they want to spend more on their own farms.

I can burn bricks and build houses by myself, and the cost of repairing walls has been significantly reduced.

Who doesn't want to tidy up the place under their jurisdiction.At that time, she will also have face in front of the grandma.

The scattered copper coins earned by burning bricks are all in the account room, and are at the discretion of the housekeeper.

So the old counting house is now the counting house of a brick kiln, and the old housekeeper thought that these copper coins can be regarded as the uncle's private house after all.

But then again, even if it's the money, Grandma didn't say whether it belongs to the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard.

The old butler was confused.

When Zhou Lan heard about it, she went to look at it on purpose. She can only say that her daughter-in-law has a lot of experience in managing the property, and she praised her generously: "Grandma's kindness has been spread all over Zhuangzi."

Jiang Changxi: "It's good that the uncle doesn't dislike me as a prodigal."

Zhou Lan stared at Jiang Changxi with burning eyes, how could she dislike her, what a smart and kind woman!

If it is on oneself, it would be better if the mind is a little less.

Zhou Lan has already realized one thing, that is, between husband and wife, he is often fooled by his wife.

Although I have tried my best to wake myself up, I will still be fooled from time to time, and sometimes I am quite cooperative.

Jiang Changxi: "Husband seems to be in a bit of a mess today, he doesn't study anymore."

Zhou Lan: "It's true that some of them can't be read."

Jiang Changxi: "Then, I'll have a cup of tea with my husband."

Then: "I'll talk to my husband about the accounts on our Zhuangzi later."

Don't use this, Zhou Lan: "Grandma just does her own thing."

Jiang Changxi: "Chang Xi is full of confidence to win the trust of my husband, but generally speaking, the uncle still needs to understand, just treat me as a small talk."

Jiang Changxi doesn't like to raise a prodigal son who is not ordinary. Zhou Lan must let Zhou Lan know how Zhuangzi got his money, how much he earned, and how much he spent.

Although Zhou Lan's prodigal qualities have not been seen so far, who knows what will happen in the future.

There are some things that should be penetrated to let him know.

So Jiang Changxi began to talk about his plans bit by bit, how his expenses were, and what his income was.

Especially when it comes to burning bricks, it turns out that the income of one copper plate is one copper plate, and it is all on the ledger.

Zhou Lan was in a trance for a moment, and felt that the voice was clear and sweet, like a fairy voice.

Then I heard: "If you do the calculations like this, our Zhuangzi can have a surplus of 200 taels every year."

Zhou Lan hesitated for a while, and couldn't sit still: "200 taels, how could it be." It was really too little.The expenses of his own pen, ink, paper and inkstone are more than these.

Jiang Changxi: "According to the old accounts on Zhuangzi in the past, it is already quite a lot."

Followed: "But don't worry, my husband. We have income from roast chicken, roast duck and preserved fruit. Although these can't be recorded in the account book, there is still a minimum surplus of 500 taels per year."

That's because my wife has a good management, otherwise, relying on Zhuangzi's words, I'm afraid I will live in the same poverty as Li Langjun.

Zhou Lan: "I forgot. In the past, the accounts were put together with the store. After you do the calculations, I realized that we must live on a budget, and let the grandma suffer with me."

Jiang Changxi: "That's not the case. The income of the farm is still very good, but we have a lot of expenses. The income I mentioned is the surplus other than our daily expenses and relatives' travel. It is already very good."

It turned out to be like this, Zhou Lan blushed a little, and was distracted just now.

Jiang Changxi: "Of course, it's also because Zhuangzi is in the name of Mr. Zhuangzi. If there is no Mr., this farm will not have much surplus."

Zhou Lan: "Let the people from Cloth come over later, buy more clothes and jewelry. I just heard about our accounts today, and I know that I am a scholar, but I don't do production, it's all expenses."

This fact broke Zhou Langjun's heart.

Jiang Changxi: "There is no need for this. How could I treat myself badly? There are still many clothes that I bought when I was newlyweds that I haven't worn. I am now growing up, and the clothes will soon not fit."

Then he said: "As for the expenses, my uncle is indeed wrong. Whoever said that my uncle is not involved in production, and my uncle's reading is the greatest achievement. Without my uncle's blessing, these Zhuangzi will not only make a profit, but even lose money."

Followed: "Sir, if you can protect us for a while, the uncle is the master who protects our Zhou family for the rest of our lives. Reading is the most important thing for our Zhou family."

Although I really don't want to admit it, it is such a fact.These days, the honor and disgrace are all tied to the Patriarch.

Zhou Lan was embarrassed by what Jiang Changxi said, because he really didn't have the spirit to study.

He was already addicted to the beauty of his wife, but with just a few words, Zhou Lan picked up the book and put aside the beauty.

Uncle Zhou, who didn't know much about the relationship between men and women, suddenly understood it. If he wants to conquer a woman, he must first have a strong shoulder and be her backer, otherwise no amount of sweet talk will work.

At least his wife's cognition told him so.

Originally, Zhou Lan thought that since he had entered the county school, he could be a little proud in front of his wife, or even relax, and express his feelings with his wife, but now it seems that he should wait until he becomes a scholar in the future.

Letting Madam like it is worse than making Madam feel at ease.

He also didn't have to ask Li Langjun for advice on how to express his friendship in front of women.

Of course, Li Langjun is also a lone goose now, he probably just asks for advice, and he doesn't have any good tricks, otherwise he wouldn't even want his fiancée.
