Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 286 Persuasion
Wang Zhong was on the wine table at that time, and his heart was moved when he heard this.

The annual income of more than twenty taels of silver is not a small amount. They may not be able to earn such income after a year of hard work.Moreover, the work in the orchard is easy, and you can just go for a turn when you have nothing to do; when you need to fertilize, prune, and thin fruit, you can directly hire two or three honest and willing people in the village to do it, and you can only help; During the season, he even recruited a group of people in the village to pick them, and he just kept an eye on these people to work.

If you have money, you can order people around. The power and money are directly in front of you, and the work is not tiring.The most important thing is to be able to catch up with Young Master Du who has a background and a great future. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
After discussing with his father, Wang Zhong went to Qin Laoliu and Lu Xiaobei to express his heart, invited them to drink, and gave several generous gifts to beg them to speak well of Young Master Du for him.If so, Qin Lao Liu and Lu Xiaobei didn't dare to agree, they just said to pass the words in front of their young master, and his nod would count, but they would help Wang Zhong to say something nice.

When Du Jinning nodded and agreed to Wang Zhong to be in charge, Wang Zhong was very grateful to Qin Laoliu and Lu Xiaobei, and said that he regarded them as brothers.

The effect of asking Wang Zhong to take care of the orchard for him on his own initiative is completely different from asking Wang Zhong to take the initiative to be the orchard manager crying and shouting.

Not to mention Wang Zhong's respect for Du Jinning, and his affection for Qin Laoliu and Lu Xiaobei. Since he took office, he has been competitive with the orchard, and his work attitude is really nothing to say. Come here and report to Du Jinning about the work progress. He is definitely a good Chinese employee.

As for Du Jinning hiring Wang Zhong to be in charge, the benefits are not yet apparent, but he can imagine it if he thinks about it.

She is not from an aristocratic family, and the nearby villagers will not be jealous of her. When the fruit is ripe, the fruit that has been grafted and cared for by her will fill the branches, and it will definitely attract people's envy.At that time, if you come to steal a few people in this village, and he will pick a few, just arguing all day is enough, and these things are not big enough to cause trouble in the government.Let Lizheng deal with it. If you want him not to favor people in his own village, you can only use money to fill his stomach.Can greed be filled?It will only increase the appetite.In the end, even if the villagers don't come to steal the fruit, it is estimated that Lizheng has to instigate people to steal the fruit for his own benefit.This matter is endless.Not only did her orchard fail to make money, but it also caused a lot of trouble.

And the best way to do it once and for all is to hire someone like Wang Zhong to be in charge.

Twenty taels of silver is already a lot of money for the farmers.For this income, Wang Zhong has to work hard, not to mention that there are carrots hanging in front of him to lure him forward.

With his father behind his back as a deterrent, who would dare to steal fruit from the orchard?It is easier to use him to manage things than Qin Lao Liu and Lu Xiaobei, and the trouble is less.

Therefore, when Wang Zhong heard that Du Fangfei was the owner of half of the orchard, he immediately saluted Du Fangfei respectfully.

"Half of your two taels of silver a month is paid by my elder sister. Her words are mine. If you have any problems in the future, if I am not in the county, you can also go to my elder sister." Du Jinning said.

"Yes, yes." Wang Zhong's attitude became even more respectful.

"After the grafting, I will write you the regulations on how to manage the orchard in the future, and you just follow it. At that time, my eldest sister and fourth sister will come to visit from time to time. I will take the government examination next time, maybe I don't have time to come here." Du Jinning said again.

"Young Master Du, don't worry, I will take good care of this orchard according to your instructions. You can go to the scientific research with peace of mind, and come back with a reputation as a scholar." Wang Zhong said with a smile.

"I accept your good words." Du Jinning said with a smile.

Seeing that Du Jinning had no other orders, Wang Zhong took his leave and went to work in the orchard.

Du Fangfei was a little uneasy: "I don't understand anything about these things. When Guanshi Wang really asks me, I can't make up my mind."

"It's okay, if there are other things, Lu Xiaobei will take care of them; for the problem of fruit trees, you can invite Fourth Sister to come over and take a look. She has read a lot of books on planting during this time, and she knows a lot." Du Jinning said .

As she spoke, she saw that there was no one around and everyone was busy doing things, so she persuaded Du Fangfei: "Sis, since you can read and write, I don't want you to spend all your time on those trivial housework. You have a rich dowry, and your annual income is no less than the entire income of the Xu family. You don’t need to embroider all day to make money for the Xu family. You should spend an hour or two every day reading. Even if it’s not for yourself , but also for brother-in-law.

If he passes the examination and becomes an official in the future, you behave awkwardly, talk vulgarly, and dress rustically, how will you let your brother-in-law deal with himself?No matter how good the relationship between the couple is, there will be gaps.At that time, that lady with elegant manners and good speech will fall in love with my brother-in-law. In my face, my brother-in-law may not dare to abandon you, a wretched wife, but how can he dislike you in his heart?I tried my best to buy a generous dowry for you, just to make your life better, and you don't want to mess up your good life. "

It was not without reason that she beat Du Fangfei.

She can see how Du Fangfei lives after getting married.

At the beginning, because of Du Fangfei's rich dowry, her younger brother was more valued by the gentlemen than Xu Chengyuan, and he was better at making money, so Mrs. Xie and Xu Chengyuan treated her very well and were reluctant to let her work.

But Du Fangfei was beaten and scolded by Niu Shi when she was young, and she lived in the mud. She was used to working with her head down, and she always wanted to behave to satisfy everyone.After marrying Xu Chengyuan, she strictly abides by her duties as a daughter-in-law and a wife. She always puts herself in the lowest position at home, rushing to work, and letting her mother-in-law and husband have food and drink first. I just do embroidery work, wanting to earn more money, so that my husband can dress decently when going out, and have some extra money in hand when socializing with people, or buy some delicious food to honor my mother-in-law.

After getting married for two to three months or even half a year and still not pregnant, Du Fangfei's "filial piety and sensible" and "inferior" practices became even more severe.

Who wouldn't want to have such a daughter-in-law?Xie Shi and Xu Chengyuan praised Du Fangfei for being filial and sensible, and gradually got used to Du Fangfei's hard work.

Although in this ancient time, all women did this, listen to their mother-in-law and regard their husbands as heaven.A person like Du Fangfei, even in modern times, is a good daughter-in-law and wife praised by everyone, and is recognized by social morality.

But in Du Jinning's view, Du Fangfei lived without himself.She was kind to everyone, except herself.
