After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 58 The road to gold mining begins from exile

If the family was really divided, and the eldest son was frail and probably couldn't work in the fields, wouldn't the burden of the whole family fall on him alone?

In the countryside, families like theirs are the most vulnerable to bullying. The eldest son is unworthy, the daughter is thin, and there is only one person taking care of the family. Now in Qianzhou, how can they be bullied to death?

Xu Degui woke up with a start.

He suddenly understood why everyone agreed with Xu Qingying's proposal of dividing the family that day. It turned out that except him, most people had their own little plans.

But the third family is obviously weak, so why does Xu Qingying always want to separate the family?
Xu Degui looked at his eldest daughter and saw that she was indescribably weird and elegant.

It seems that Xu Qingying is completely different from the timid and timid Xu Qingying before.

I saw her smiling slightly, but there was no smile in her eyes. She walked with her head held high and her chest high, and she spoke and acted without any embarrassment. She walked with a calm and relaxed pace.

Changed, really changed.

Xu Qingying naturally noticed the change in Xu Degui's eyes and asked, "Why is father looking at me like this?"

Xu Degui looked a little embarrassed, but he still couldn't save his face by asking him to admit his mistake, so he had to think about other things, "Um... I heard that you are going to the city tomorrow?"

"Yes, I need to buy some raw materials and molds."

"I'll go with you. You're young and don't want to be deceived."

"That's naturally better."

Xu Qingying agreed with a smile, and the two fathers and daughters were in unison and did not mention the quarrel of the previous two days.

Xu Qingying thinks very broadly. She has a lot of things to do right now and has no energy to think about other things.What's more, these things about the Xu family are trivial and not worth spending too much energy on.

So in the evening, everyone went to the inn to rest, and Xu Qingying recruited ten people one after another.

Of course, Li Zhaodi's name is included.

Xu Qingying looked at the list and suddenly felt a sense of trance.

Is this her first career after time travel?Begin your journey to gold from exile?
Xu Qingying cupped her chin and smiled. This setting seemed good——

Maybe one day she will be as rich as anyone else?

Of course, she also signed another deed under the witness of the old man of the Fang family.

The content of the deed is roughly that the soap business belongs to Sanfang exclusively, and Sanfang will be responsible for all future profits and losses.

Xu Qingying was naturally satisfied and agreed to sign without hesitation. She stepped forward, but was stopped by Xu Degui. He gritted his teeth and said to everyone: "I'll sign."

Xu Qingying raised her eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the pen to him.

These words also represent Xu Degui's attitude.

Xu Qingying previously thought that there would be some trouble if Xu Degui disagreed. After all, unmarried children in the Zhou Dynasty did not have private property. From a legal perspective, Xu Degui had the right to make any decisions on her behalf.

She didn't want someone to pluck the fruits of her hard work.

Xu Deyuan shook his head and sighed, "Good words can't persuade you damn ghost. Third brother, you are confused. You haven't studied much since you were a child, and you have no business talent. You should just live your whole life honestly. Do you think you are still here?" In Bianjing City, if I raise my hand and say hello, others won’t dare to trouble you? You just watch, and you will jump in after hearing someone’s lies. How can it be so easy to do business——"

Xu Degui hesitated for a moment, only to feel that what he signed was not a deed, but a life-defining talisman.

Yes, when I was doing business in Bianjing City, whoever didn't take care of my second brother more for his sake.Those with no connections and no one above them, holding thousands of taels of silver, lost everything in Bianjing City——

Without the protection of his second brother, can he really do these things well?
Xu Degui fell into deep doubts.

Xu Qingying saw Xu Degui's hesitation and stepped forward, "Father, how about I come?"

Looking at Xu Qingying's clean and transparent eyes, Xu Degui suddenly woke up, and then his eyes became clear, "No need, I'll do it."

Xu Degui signed his name.

The eldest aunt was also on the side. She pulled Xu Qingying and said: "Sixth girl, don't blame the eldest aunt for being cruel. The family really has no money and can't stand the trouble. The eldest aunt still believes in you. You are a capable person. You can't say for sure. You can really do whatever you want with this soap."

After saying that, she smiled and said: "When you get rich now, don't forget to win over your eldest uncle's family. Aren't you recruiting people? My eldest aunt doesn't know how to deal with other people, but she is a good hand at work. Who can do this work for?" If you do, you have to take care of your family first."

Huang Cui'e said this, but she was thinking in her heart, Xu Qingying dared to hire ten people even though she didn't know what the soap was. This was so courageous. What if she couldn't sell it all and threw it into her hands? Young man Well, I am still a little too impulsive in doing things.

Fortunately, the deed has been signed now, so if the third house loses money in the future, they won’t be blamed.

Xu Qingying had no idea what Huang Cui'e was thinking.

This is the mentality of most people who are unwilling to take risks and just want to ensure harvests despite droughts and floods.

She couldn't blame anyone.

"Auntie, you are late. The ten places have just been filled."

Huang Cui'e slapped her thigh, "You damn girl, they say that wealth and wealth don't go to outsiders. How can you take advantage of outsiders with such a good thing?"

"Auntie, my soap business is not sure. It's easy to talk about the wages I owe to others, but I don't want to be scolded in the spine every day for the wages I owe to my own family?"

Huang Cui'e said with a guilty conscience: "We are all a family, how can we blame you just for a small amount of money?"

Xu Qingying smiled but remained silent.

Huang Cui'e made a mental calculation and realized that this was indeed the case.If the soap cannot be sold and the wages owed cannot be paid, will it be possible for the whole family to be together, and she can still lick her face and ask for the debt?

Isn't this equivalent to working for Sanfang in vain?
After thinking about this section, Huang Cui'e stopped dwelling on this topic. Instead, she remembered another thing and mumbled: "I saw that your father and your eldest brother had taken off their shackles and they were all energetic, but how could you?" How can you bear it when an uncle still has to suffer this? Besides, seeing that you have such a good relationship with Bantou Zhao and the others, why don't you say something nice to them and let them remove all the shackles of the men in our family?"

Xu Qingying thought about it for a moment. It was expected that all the manpower would be mobilized in a few days. Team Leader Zhao had also promised to remove all the shackles by then, but he had not said it to the outside world for fear of causing people's confusion.

Xu Qingying was happy to be a favor and nodded immediately, "Auntie, wait a minute. I'll go talk to the squad leader in a few days."

"Hey!" Huang Cui'e immediately became overjoyed and began to flatter her, "Our six girls are capable. Your parents are really lucky to have a capable daughter like you."

Xu Degui has also put away the deed.

This time he was finally able to straighten his back and walk towards Miao. There were tears in Miao's eyes, and she said angrily: "I thought you only had your brother in your heart, not me and my three children."

Xu Degui hugged Miao with one hand, looking a little embarrassed, and finally sighed deeply, "I was overthinking it, and the second brother... didn't say anything..."

Mrs. Miao felt anxious, "Head of the family, this soap business will belong to the third family from now on. We have to work hard and show a good performance, so that others can see that our family can live a good life even without the second uncle."

"Yes, let's sit down together as a family and discuss it in the evening. Let Ying'er explain it to us. It also gives me a sense of confidence. To tell you the truth, my hand was shaking when I signed just now. I have never done it myself before. I had made up my mind, but who would have thought that it would be such a big scene, and my daughter would really defeat me."

"Don't talk about her, she is doing it for the good of our family." Miao's face showed a hint of anger, as if she was a little angry, "Eldest brother and second brother are also true. When they took away the supplies of our third room, they still said It's better for us. No one is optimistic about soap at the moment, so that's it. They all avoid us like snakes and scorpions, as if they want to distance themselves from us, for fear that we will be blamed for losing money in the future. I want to bet on them. With this tone, our daughter has taken care of everything, and she is so smart. She refuses to lead them to make a fortune with good intentions, but is afraid that we will harm her..."

As Miao spoke, she felt aggrieved and shed tears.

Xu Degui helped her calm down, but he also sighed repeatedly, "My second brother...it's really..."

Miao frowned slightly, "Speaking of which, I find something very strange. My second uncle has been an official for many years, so he is naturally smarter than us. Couldn't he see that the guards and our daughter are already in the same group? Why? Does he still want to play devil’s advocate?”

The corners of Xu Degui's lips pursed slightly, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He was silent for a long time, seemed to want to speak but stopped, and then said: "Second brother... it's not that he can't see... but he pretends to be confused because he understands."

Miao was stunned, "What do you mean?"

There was an indescribable sadness in Xu Degui's eyes, "Second brother, of course he knows that the soap business can make money... but he also knows very well that Qingying will not agree to his investment in shares. My second brother, if he lives well , will naturally consider relaxing his fingers and taking care of a few brothers. If he is not living well, then he will not allow anyone to surpass him. "

Miao covered her chest and understood instantly. She lowered her voice and said, "Are you saying that my second uncle knows that the soap business can make money, but he still doesn't agree to other people's participation in it, because he is afraid that if we make money, we will pass him by?"

"I just heard that he has been encouraging the people in the other houses to sign a contract with us, asking us to be responsible for our profits and losses, saying that our soap business will definitely not work. He also lied to them that doing business on the exile road is against the law. All the money earned during that time will be taken away by Bantou Zhao and the others. The rest of the people in the house have always followed his lead. Who would dare to follow us after being bullied by him like this?"

Miao was shocked, "How could my second uncle do this? This...how could he do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit himself? Is it possible that even if he has money, he doesn't allow others to earn it?"

"If the brothers are all prosperous, how will he take charge of this family? Who will listen to his orders?" Xu Degui felt sad when he talked about this, his eyes were red, "He was not like this before, why is he like this now? Bihe, when he forced me to express my opinion that day, I didn't know that he wanted to drive a wedge between Ying'er and me, but... I felt that the whole family was closely related, so why did it make such an ugly scene? In addition, Ying'er was also a bit aggressive that day. , I was thinking about saving some face for my second brother..."

Mrs. Miao comforted him and said: "That's all, everyone has their own destiny. Second Uncle... Forget it, don't mention it. Let's just settle down and do the things in front of us. We must help our daughter with this soap business - —”

"Hey!" Xu Degui responded. Although he was still worried in his heart, his attention was diverted by Miao's few words.

Yes, once the cost of this soap is invested, don't you have to hurry up and work?A full 15 taels of silver were thrown into the water. This was their last capital——

When I arrived in Qianzhou, my food, clothing, housing, transportation, life, old age, illness and death all depended on this hammer sale.

Xu Degui forced himself not to think about these things and only focus on soap.

The next day, Xu Qingying divided her work very early.

Everyone was divided into two groups. One group did not enter the city. They were taken directly by the escorts and rushed along the outside of the city. Finally, they waited on the official road out of the city.

Another wave of people followed Xu Qingying into the city.

This is the first time Xu Qingying has entered the city since time travel. Although the original owner often went out to play in Bianjing City, she had never seen it with her own eyes.

Sure enough, one cannot have too high expectations for ancient cities.

First, when entering the city gate, everyone has to pay an entrance tax of two cents. The city gate is also small and far less grand than the simulated buildings of later generations.The street planning is very typical of the northern style, boxy, with obvious directions from southeast to northwest.

Xu Qingying thought while observing that the production level of the Zhou Dynasty seemed to be even lower than that of the Song Dynasty. Most of the people were wearing coarse linen clothes, and they were skinny, with withered faces and numb expressions.

That should be hungry.

When a person is hungry, the body's heat will be given priority to maintain the basic functions of the body, then provided to the limbs to resist cold, and finally the brain.

This is why when people are hungry, their brains naturally stop functioning, as if they are dull. This is reflected in the fact that their eyes are empty, their speech is slow, and they are unable to think.

Team leader Zhao paid the capitation fee and saw that the people on the roadside were looking at the people behind him. Knowing that the people behind him were too conspicuous, he pulled Xu Qingying and whispered: "Miss Xu Liu, are we too high-profile? What if someone finds out? How about asking Mrs. Xu to change her clothes?"

Xu Qingying turned her head and saw that Mrs. Lian was wearing a dark red jacket today, her hair was combed meticulously, a green and transparent hosta was inserted sideways on her head, and a necklace of Hainan pearls hung around her neck. Each one was rounder than the other, and there were also pearls on her wrists. Wearing a blood-red agate bracelet, she looked very noble and attracted passersby to look at her.

Xu Qingying also brought a few movies with her, all of which were about girls.

Leader Zhao could see that these people were carefully selected by Xu Qingying. They were all young ladies or maids with good looks and had seen the world before.

These girls also have something in common. They are honest people and their close relatives are all left in the exile team. According to Xu Qingying's intention, it is to prevent these people from escaping.

If there are really those who are unwilling to open their eyes and are willing to become fugitives, at least their parents are still in their hands, which is somewhat of a weakness.

Captain Zhao was inexplicably shocked by Xu Qingying's methods. He slapped and gave sweets and immediately put these girls into submission.

Needless to say, these girls were still disgraced before, but now they just washed their faces, tidied up temporarily, and found some decent clothes to put on in the exile team. Their whole demeanor instantly changed.

She looked like a maid from a wealthy family.
