After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

"However, raising silkworms is different. In a [-]-acre mulberry garden, you can only raise about [-] silkworms at most this year. How many cocoons can be produced? Only half of the cocoons can be used to make silk quilts. The cost is so high, indeed. It should also be sold for two taels of silver."

Nanny Li immediately made a calculation in her heart and couldn't help but click her tongue.

Cotton is planted in the ground, watering and fertilizing is enough. When the pests are serious, it will be a little harder, but no matter how hard it is, it is easier than raising silkworms.

Sericulture requires certain skills, and if one is not careful, silkworms are prone to die in large areas, and if they are not properly raised, their production will be reduced. Therefore, workers need to carefully maintain them, and they must not stop for a moment.

It is also a field of nearly 6 mu, and the cotton can be harvested more than [-] catties, while the silk is less than [-] catties in the end.

Gu Qing's pricing seems to be a disadvantage on the surface, but in fact, he has made a fortune. This money is much easier than raising silkworms.

"After the promotion of cotton, every household has cotton, and the quilts will not make much money. I never thought of making money from this. We should focus on clothing design."

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Before other people knew what cotton cloth was, we produced cotton underwear and took the lead in occupying the market. Do you worry about not making money in the future..."

When the two were talking, there was a figure standing outside the door. Afraid of being discovered, the figure turned around and left quickly.

After the cotton is completely harvested, it is already the middle and late September.

Autumn is slowly getting stronger, and the peanuts, sesame beans and so on harvested in autumn are slowly being put into the warehouse. However, these villagers don't grow much, and they will finish their work after a little busy three or five days.

Only Gu Qing has a major task to do, and that is collecting peppers.

In the late autumn season, the last batch of peppers are hung on the seedlings one by one. They are fiery red and look very attractive.

Whether it is making chili sauce or chili powder, red peppers must be used. Arrange people to collect them all, some of them are dried in the sun to make chili powder chili noodles, and some of them are directly cut into mixed salt or beans to make sauce... all of a sudden , The whole mansion is filled with the pungent chili smell.

When it was a little less busy, Li was calling a meeting for the whole village.

The acacia tree in the village has become a special place for village meetings, and some people have placed many stones of different heights on the side, so that the elderly or pregnant women can sit and attend the meeting.

"I called everyone here today because it's about dividends." Li Zheng cleared his throat and said loudly, "At the beginning of the year, under the leadership of the princess, everyone worked together. After seven months, the village's The development is obvious to all, since we have a commercial street in our village, it is very convenient for the big guys to buy things, and we don’t have to get up early in the morning to go to the city. We won’t talk about the convenience, the main reason is that everyone has made money!”

When they heard about the money, the villagers became more serious.

"Minmin, come up and report to everyone."

As soon as Lizheng finished speaking, Gu Minmin, also known as Jinhua Niang, stood on the stage holding the ledger.

"Hi everyone, I'm Gu Minmin, and I've been recording all the income and expenditure of the village in the past seven months."

She spoke very calmly, "The income of our village includes two aspects in general. One is the income from the tea mountain, and the other is the income from receiving tourists in the village. The income from the tea mountain is 400 taels..."

The villagers gasped.

"The reception of tourists officially started from the Lantern Festival. In the seven months since then, the daily income has been between 20 taels and 50 taels, a total of 300 taels."

"The total of the two incomes is 700 taels."

The voice fell, and the audience fell silent.

The next moment, the crowd erupted into an astonishingly high level of discussion.

"My God, more than 3 taels of silver, is it real or not?!"

"I only knew that the village was making money. I thought it was a thousand taels, but I didn't expect it to be 3 taels!"

"Our Gu Family Village is going to get rich, my God!"

"Old man, how much money did our family raise at the beginning, how much can we divide?"

"..."

"Quiet, everyone is quiet!" Lizheng shouted loudly, "This is the income without removing the cost, and it is not so much after removing the cost!"

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

Gu Minmin continued: "The cost is mainly labor costs. The manpower includes the people who receive tourists, the people who protect the safety of tourists, plus the wages of the tea-frying masters. The total is 700 taels."

"After removing the cost, the profit is 4000 taels!"

"Thirty-four thousand taels is a lot. I have never seen so much money in my life."

The elders in the village raised their hands to celebrate, but also questioned.

"The last time I sold the shop and divided so much money, how come there is still money here?"

"That's right, we took over the house and divided the money for selling the shop. Why do we still divide the money?"

"Lizheng, did you make a mistake? How can this money be distributed to us? It should be the princess's money!"

"That's right! Everyone, run away, or you will have to divide the money again!"

"Hurry up, let's go, let's go!"

Aunt Zhao stood up and said to Li Zheng: "Li Zheng, please go and tell the princess that we don't want this money. People in Gu's Village have shops and have shops, and those without shops work in workshops. People in Gu's Village The days have passed, let the princess take back the silver!"

"If you agree with what Aunt Zhao said, then quickly withdraw, don't stay where you are shamelessly and wait for the money!"

Seeing thousands of villagers turn around and want to leave, Lizheng stamped his foot, stared and angrily said: "I'll see who dares to leave!"

Seeing that Lizheng was angry, everyone stopped and looked at Lizheng in puzzlement. Lizheng said in time, "This is the dividend that the princess said, and every household will get it on the basis of their head! Men, women and children in our village plus the princess's family There are a total of 800 people, and each of them gets 12 taels of silver!"

The crowd fell silent suddenly.

Just when everyone was still hesitating whether to accept the dividend, a discordant voice sounded.

"Lizheng, I have something unpleasant to say. I know I shouldn't say it, but I have to say it."

The patriarch of the Zhao family stood up, "There are more than 2000 people in our Gu family village, more than 200 households... Oh no, after the exiles built the village last year, there were almost [-] households. There are so many households, and most of them are named Gu, so we The Lizheng of the village is also Gu Lizheng..."

Li Zheng frowned: "Old Zhao, what exactly do you want to say?"

"I just want to say that whether it's a tea mountain or a tourist, these are all in the hands of you Gu. How much you earn, how much you spend, and how much you earn are all up to you Gu."

Patriarch Zhao went straight to the point, "How do we know that this account book is real? How do we know that the Gu family has been corrupted by it? After all, money touches people's hearts. I don't think anyone will be able to keep such tens of thousands of taels of silver at home. Will be indifferent..."
