"Let's go to the town ahead and see if there is a mule and horse market."

The two men were driving more than a dozen horses, and there were far more horse dealers than gold diggers.

"Let's clean up after we get to the town. Otherwise, when we get home, mother will think how much hardship we have suffered."

Zhu Chuanwen looked at Zhu Kaishan and said, when they came out of Laojingou, the two people were not dressed well but they were clean and had basic decency.

After so many days of eating and sleeping outdoors and crawling around to survive, the two of them were already very embarrassed.

If it weren't for the many horses being driven, it wouldn't look like they couldn't afford to eat. With a bowl, the two of them could seamlessly integrate into the Beggar Clan.

"I suffered a lot in the first place."

Zhu Kaishan muttered, indicating that he had some resentment towards Zhu Chuanwen.

The experience in Laojingou cannot be said to be good, and that is not the point.

The focus is on this act of revenge. The further it goes on, the closer it becomes to a supporting role for Zhu Kaishan.

Most of them didn't listen to Zhu Chuanwen's command, but Zhu Chuanwen was quick to take action.

He has not snatched any heads, and his son has surpassed me. Apart from being happy, Zhu Kaishan also feels a little complicated.

His performance is that he can't help but say a few sarcastic words to Zhu Chuanwen.

"Even if you suffer so much, you can't let your mother see it, otherwise she shouldn't blame me for not taking care of you." Zhu Chuanwen replied calmly: "Don't say you suffered, and I won't say there are old ladies out there. I'm attracted to you."

Zhu Chuanwen was not helpless in dealing with Zhu Kaishan's sour words. This old lady, the big black girl, could be regarded as Zhu Kaishan's dark history.

"How come there are so many weird words? Hurry up and hurry up." Zhu Kaishan said angrily.

When you're bored on the road, it's fun to tease this "dad".

"Shopkeeper, bring us two rooms, get two buckets of hot water, and send a waiter to the tailor shop to buy us two sets of clothes."

After arriving at the inn in the town, Zhu Chuanwen became public.

I haven't spent much money in Laojingou for more than half a year.

In addition to going to the pub to eat and drink, there was really no place for Zhu Chuanwen to spend money in Laojingou.

You can't be like Jin Fu and give all your money to the kiln sister and the gambling shop.

Zhu Chuanwen really doesn't accept this level.

"Don't panic when you have some money, save it a little bit, you know?"

Zhu Kaishan was not stingy, he just couldn't stand Zhu Chuanwen's arrogance.

"I know, isn't it just to save some money? Then I'll just buy you clothes, and I'll go home in rags, okay?" Zhu Chuanwen replied to Zhu Kaishan.

"..." Zhu Kaishan.

Zhu Kaishan dressed like a big landowner, and Zhu Chuanwen went back dressed as a beggar. Of course, it was impossible.

After freshening up at the inn and putting on new clothes, the two of them went to have their hair cut and shaved, so that they looked more presentable.

Then he sold most of the horses at the mule and horse market, and purchased a wave of various gifts, including cloth, tea leaves, rouge and gouache.

Naturally, it was Zhu Chuanwen's idea to buy these gifts. If Zhu Kaishan was the one who made the decision, even if he didn't have this awareness, he would just buy some practical items.

To put it simply, Zhu Kaishan's thinking has not changed yet.

The two men were each wearing brocade robes, and the other was driving a carriage loaded with various goods. It looked like they were returning home in rich clothes.

"Mom, Xian'er, we are back!"

Outside the gate, Zhu Chuanwen shouted, still thinking of two people.

"Brother Chuanwen, you are back." Xian'er was the first to run out of the courtyard.

"Father Wen, when you come back this time, you won't leave."

Mrs. Zhu Wei was a little slower and quickly came out of the room to greet her.

The only pity is that Zhu Chuanwen and Zhu Kaishan were not noticed immediately by Xian'er and Zhu Wei because of their dog-like appearance.

"If we don't leave, we will settle down in the future. We will build a big yard and put dozens of acres of land there, and our family will be able to live a solid life in the future."

Zhu Kaishan's expectations are of course very good, but this era is the end of feudalism.

Not to mention that there are a group of idiots and worries about life outside this land, but there are no foreign troubles.

The imperial court and natural and man-made disasters will also force the people to live a good life.

So many people from Shandong have been driven to the northeast. It has to be said that there are already too many people and too little land in the pass. The land annexation is too serious and it is difficult for the people to survive.

"Okay...we don't ask for any wealth, as long as the whole family can be together in peace." Zhu Weishi pulled Zhu Kaishan and replied.

"Mom, let's go into the house. Dad and I have brought back a lot of things. See if you like them."

Several people were too excited and stood at the door chatting endlessly. Zhu Chuanwen couldn't help but remind them.

"Come in the house, come in the house, let's talk about it after we get in the house." He said he wanted to go in the house, but he still had to drive the carriage home first, unharness him, and drive the horse back to the barn.

In addition to the original two horses in the family, the family now has six horses, which is enough for an average family.

We won't be able to catch up on building a house this year, but the livestock shed must be enlarged.

"Where are those two boys?"

After returning to the house and sitting down, Zhu Kaishan remembered that he still had two sons.

"They are apprentices in Chunhesheng. Our family has made great achievements, and now it has begun to occupy the counter in the shop." Mrs. Zhu Wei couldn't help but feel proud as she said this.

"Yes, Chuanjie is promising. He has lived up to my expectations and worked hard for them to earn a fortune. Where is Chuanwu?"

Zhu Kaishan's attitude is exactly the same as that of modern parents working abroad when they come home and ask about their children's academic performance.

I am very happy when my child learns well, but of course I am very disappointed if my child does not learn well.

"Chuanwu is also very good. I eat well and sleep well. I am getting more and more happy."

Zhu Wei could only help Chuan Wu to whitewash it.

"I'll take care of him when he comes back."

Of course Zhu Kaishan understood Zhu Wei's subtext. Chuanwu had nothing to praise except his good health.

"Oh, I need to find someone to go to town to deliver a message. Chuanwu still goes home to live every day, but Chuanjie has already stood at the counter in the shop. He usually lives in the shop."

Mrs. Zhu Wei patted her thigh and prepared to get off the kang to find the people who were going to the town. She helped bring the letter there and asked Chuanjie to come back together for a reunion.

"Mother Wen, there's no need. It won't take more than one day. I won't go far away after I come back this time. It will be the same if I ask Chuanjie to come back tomorrow."

Zhu Kaishan stopped Zhu Weishi.

"Then you two take a rest. You must have not eaten well on the way. I will cook you some food." Zhu Wei said again.

"Mom, let me help you." Xian'er followed.

Although Xian'er really wanted to chat with Zhu Chuanwen for a while, it was obviously not the right time yet.

"Don't be too busy for now. We had good food on the way. Let's collect the things we brought back."

Zhu Kaishan pointed to a room full of goods and said.

"Father Wen, you and Wen'er are both wearing brocade. Have you made a fortune? Is this how you make money from gold mining? You have only been out for more than half a year."

At this time, Mrs. Zhu Wei realized the value of the clothes and various goods brought back by the two people. Brocade has never been a garment worn by the poor. Even small landowners with hundreds of acres of land wear cotton.

If you are a farmer with only a few dozen acres of land, you will only wear linen.

The price of cotton cloth is generally about three times that of linen cloth.

The price of brocade is directly ten times that of linen.

"It's not that easy to pan for gold. If it were so easy to make a fortune, wouldn't everyone go gold panning? This is the satin that your prodigal son insisted on buying just to return home in glory.

Our family has only had a few days of vacation here in Fangniugou, and it is time to return to Shandong in rich clothes. "

When Zhu Kaishan told Zhu Weishi this way, he obviously meant to complain.

"Mom, take a look with Xian'er. I bought a piece of brocade for each of you. You can keep it to make a dress for each of you."

As for Chuanwu and Chuanjie, they don't need to get used to it when they are still growing up and rolling around all day. They just wear cotton.

"Why do we need these, Chuanwen, you really forgot last year, when we almost couldn't even eat."

Zhu Weishi glanced at Zhu Chuanwen and said.

If we still look at the economic situation of Lao Zhu's family last year, Zhu Chuanwen's approach is indeed quite extravagant.

"Mom, our family has made some money. In the future, we will buy more property and find two servants to serve you. Just wait and enjoy your happiness. These things are just the beginning. You have to learn to adapt to them. You can't treat us like we are still here. It’s time for Shandong.”

Zhu Chuanwen smiled and explained that it was not easy to reveal his family background, so Zhu Chuanwen could only say this ambiguously.

"If you have this spirit, mother will be satisfied." Zhu Weishi obviously didn't believe it.

Zhu Kaishan has already been to Laojingou once, and no one knows how much gold he brought back than Zhu Wei.

There is no expectation that the two men will come back with more gold.

"How can I be satisfied just by listening to it? It is a blessing to live it."

After returning to Fangniugou, Lao Zhu's family did not live a good life immediately.

The first thing is to collect the food at home.

Although the land at home is not much yet, only a dozen acres.

But it also allowed Zhu Chuanwen to experience the level of farming in this era.

Apart from plowing and sowing, which can use animal power, everything else requires manual labor.

If you want to be a landlord, it is very necessary to recruit more long-term workers.

Zhu Kaishan was thinking about spreading his wealth and taking care of He Laosi and other "brothers" when they were young.

Zhu Chuanwen was measuring the land in Fangniugou. The old Zhu family wanted the landowner to plant at least thirty to forty acres of land.

In addition to buying land from others in the village, the most important thing is to open up wasteland.

When people from Shandong come to the Northeast, there is no reason why they are rejected by the locals.

They are mainly Shandong people and do not squeeze the living space of local people too much.

Most of the land obtained comes from wild land reclamation.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty also had a policy of opening up wasteland, and even provided loans and subsidies for improved seeds and agricultural tools.

But even if you don't consider whether the local government can implement it properly, these have nothing to do with the Zhu family who are wanted by the Qing Dynasty.

"Brother Zhu, I heard that you are back. I should have come to see you a long time ago, but the number is quite busy at this time, so I was delayed for some time."

Just after finishing the autumn harvest, Xia Yuanzhang took Chuanwu and Chuanjie to the Zhu family in Fangniugou.

"Shopkeeper Xia, you are so polite. We were supposed to go to the town to visit you when we came back. But we were busy with the autumn harvest and really didn't have time, so I didn't expect you to come over first." Zhu Kaishan said politely to Xia Yuanzhang.

"We don't have to be so polite to each other. It's the same for everyone who comes to see us."

"I should go to the town to visit you. Not to mention anything else, just because you have taken good care of Chuanwu and Chuanjie so well, I should go and thank you on their behalf."

Chuanwu and Chuanjie studied in other companies, and Chuanjie also received great training. I must thank them no matter what.

It's just that Zhu Kaishan is still busy with many things. He wants to share some of the gold brought out from Lao Jingou to the "brothers" who need it.

Of course, the most important thing is how to settle He Laosi's family, so this matter was delayed.

"Uncle Xia, shopkeeper Xia, if you have anything to say, just say it. Given the relationship between our two families, there is no need to be so polite."

Zhu Kaishan was still apologizing, but Zhu Chuanwen had already discovered that Xia Yuanzhang's expression was wrong. The more Zhu Kaishan thanked Xia Yuanzhang, the more ashamed he became on his face.

"Brother Zhu, Chuanwen, I am sorry for you."

Xia Yuanzhang's face became even more ashamed, he looked in the direction where Chuanwu and Chuanjie were standing and said.

"You two, who caused trouble in the shop?"

Xia Yuanzhang, a great actor, was so straightforward that Zhu Kaishan couldn't understand that he had a problem with his IQ.

So Zhu Kaishan used the "Eye of Death" to attack Chuanwu and Chuanjie.

"Dad, I just ate a piece of grass. Not to mention it didn't taste good, and it was so irritating that I had a lot of nosebleeds."

The big copper bell-like eyes looked very stressful. Chuanwu couldn't resist the death gaze and opened his mouth to defend himself.

"Dad, what the second brother ate was not an ordinary piece of grass. What he ate was an old wild ginseng collected by the old shopkeeper."

Chuanjie sold Chuanwu without hesitation.

If it weren't for Chuanjie, Chuanwu would have gotten into a lot of trouble since childhood, and no one would know about it.

"Nonsense, old wild ginseng is such a precious thing, but you just treated it like a piece of grass and wasted it."

Zhu Kaishan sat up from the edge of the kang, ready to find someone.

Chuanwu is like a fool, shouting about the Three Treasures of the Northeast every day.

But in a shop that makes mountain goods, after half a year of training, I don’t know anyone except the urala grass that makes shoe soles.

It can only be said that everyone has learned from the dog belly.

But Zhu Kaishan is not a novice, so he certainly knows the value of a root of old wild ginseng.

Because the richest group in the Qing Dynasty were the Manchus.

These people are from the Northeast, and they highly value the Three Treasures of the Northeast, such as mink and ginseng.

If there is a need to be popular, the price will naturally be high.

The price of these treasures is also considered to be the highest in history.

Zhu Chuanwen was very discerning and handed over a wooden ruler used by Zhu Wei to make clothes.

"Dad, I also heard them say that that thing is a big supply of food. Who would have thought it tasted so bad."

Chuanwu is a person with imperfect views. He does not have a complete view of right and wrong. He thinks that he is not at fault for many things, and he is not convinced when he is beaten by Zhu Kaishan.

"No matter whether the food is supplementary or not, whether it tastes good or not, it belongs to the store. Do you just take it and eat it yourself? Taking it without asking is considered stealing. Is that what you do?"

Zhu Kaishan took a ruler, pressed Chuanwu on the kang, and slapped Chuanwu on the buttocks.

"Brother Zhu, stop hitting me. If you hit this kid, aren't you just hitting me in the face?"

Seeing that Zhu Kaishan really took action, Xia Yuanzhang hurriedly advised. (End of chapter)
