The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 44 Accepting the surname change calmly and counting the money
Li Xiaoyue smiled and looked around at everyone, "Don't you care about changing your surname?"

Li Changlu waved his hand, not caring, "Anyway, the surname is Liu or Li, it doesn't matter to me, it doesn't matter. I care more about our family's business."

The scholar's father has run away with others, and the soft rice is so delicious that he may have long forgotten about these country children.

It doesn't matter whether you take your father's surname or not. What matters is whether you can make money and live a good life of being popular and drinking spicy food.

Li Changlu thought that if he made more money, he would go to the county town to look at shops no matter what.

Such good things cannot be left to the eldest brother.

Zhou Xiaohua also urged, "Mom, hurry up, count the money before eating, it will taste better."

Li Changhuan made a cup of dandelion water and brought it over, "Mom, drink some water."

Li Xiaoyue was thirsty, so she took the water and drank a few sips, "Chang Huan is still careful, you guys, just focus on the money. But you are right, today is our first day of business in the county, so count the Eat money later.”

Li Changlu chuckled, then poured the coins directly on the table, "Start counting the coins!"

The sound of coins colliding is the best sound in the world.

Several people sat around the table and strung a hundred coins into a string with hemp rope, and then strung together ten strings of copper coins. This was a thousand coins and one tael of silver.

Li Xiaoyue looked at the account book. Although Brother Li recorded it very neatly, it was all written in text, which made Li Xiaoyue who was used to reading digital reports very uncomfortable.

Li Xiaoyue took her accounting book over again and recorded it again with numbers so that it was clear at a glance.

Today, 57 stoves were sold for 150 Wen each, which is 550 Wen.

The briquettes were sold for 700 yuan, and most of them have to wait until tomorrow for delivery.One penny and one piece of briquettes is [-] pence.

Today's total income is 250 Wen, which is converted into silver, which is 17 taels and fifty Wen.

Now I have broken silver in my hand, totaling five taels, and the rest are copper coins.

After several people counted the money for a quarter of an hour, they finally counted the copper coins. The copper coins on the table totaled 1 yuan, plus the amount of broken silver, which matched the amount in the ledger.

Li Changlu looked at the account book and after a rough estimate, he was slightly disappointed, "Mom, we hired people and spent two taels of silver a day. After excluding the cost of the stove, we earned seven taels of silver!"

Upon hearing what Li Changlu said, Li Xiaoyue couldn't laugh or cry, "Is it still little to earn so much in one day? In the past, I couldn't even save seven taels of silver in a year."

"Quite a lot, quite a lot." Li Changlu smiled and felt that he was going too far. "This month, there are 200 taels of silver."

Li Xiaoyue glanced at Li Changlu, "Is the layout too small? There are about 1 households in our county. Even if only ordinary people buy our stoves, that's 3 households. A family burns five pieces of briquettes a day, which is [-] yuan of briquettes. .”

"You can sell 3 yuan of briquettes and 30 taels of silver in one day. After excluding the cost, you will get at least 25 taels of silver. Can you make more than 800 taels in this month?"

Everyone originally thought that earning more than 200 taels of silver each was already a lot.

I heard Li Xiaoyue calculate like this, 800 taels of silver?My God, I have never seen so much silver in my life.

When Li Changfu heard that he could make so much money, he immediately said, "Mom, when we make money, let's build a house and live more comfortably."

"Bricks here used to be very expensive here, and we had to support that person's education, so the house at home was never built. Now that I have made money, I want to build a good and big house for my mother."

Li Changlu also agreed, "Brother is right, build a house. The third brother is about to talk about a wife. If you have a good house, you can find a good wife." The third brother, Li Changlu, smiled shyly and said few words as usual, "Thank you for your hard work, mother." .”

The fourth child, Li Changxi, is very active and his family has money. Maybe his mother can promise him to take more exams and give him more pocket money.

Li Xiaoyue looked around everyone, and then said immediately, "You have to work harder when you make money. Changfu's suggestion is very good. I will make arrangements to build a house. I will take it to heart when Changshou talks about his wife."

"As for Chang Xi, please remember and study hard for me. No matter you have money or not, if you failed to pass the scholar examination twice, you will come down and work for me. The family is so busy, no one will support you in vain. "

"Lao Wu is not in good health, but I heard from Mr. Gongsun that the imperial doctor Yu will come to us this year. He has excellent medical skills. When the time comes, we will ask him to treat Chang'an and try to cure Chang'an."

"Thank you, mother." Li Changan was very excited when he heard this. His body was panting when he ran and he had no strength.

I feel dizzy when I study and feel weak when I work. Now I can only herd cows and sheep at home.

"You're welcome, you are my son, and I will try my best to save you." Li Xiaoyue smiled, "Next, I want to talk about your wages."

At this time, Li Changlu had a flattering expression on his face, "Mom, I am sharp-tongued and flexible. From now on, I will be able to do a better job in the county shop business."

Of course Li Xiaoyue couldn't agree, but she didn't say directly: "Changlu, you have made a lot of progress recently. You are more careful in your work and speak sharply. I have a more important task for you."

When Li Changlu heard his mother praising him, he thought her mother had agreed. Unexpectedly, she asked him to do other things instead of doing this fat job.

"Mom, you really favor elder brother." Li Changlu muttered, a little dissatisfied.

Li Xiaoyue knew that Li Changlu would be like this, so she didn't get angry and scold him. He was an adult and couldn't beat his son all day long.

Li Xiaoyue is a civilized person, a gentleman talks but never uses his hands. To deal with people like his second son Li Changlu, it is only useful to have a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other.

"Changlu, you are sharp-tongued and eloquent. Your brother cannot match you. This is your biggest advantage, so the task I give you is even more important. Our family employs more than 30 people in total, and there are many things to do."

“Dig out stone nuggets and yellow mud, sift out large pieces of stone nuggets and mud, and then make them into briquettes, and make stoves. Later, you have to transport the briquettes, back and forth, inside and outside, and you need people to communicate. This job is very important and you are the best suited to do it.”

Li Changlu, who was still a little unhappy at first, was envious that his eldest brother was in the county. When he heard his mother's words, his eyes lit up.

He stayed in the village. Although it was not as prosperous as the county town, he could manage dozens of people.

Li Changfu also echoed at this time, "Changlu, there are so many people, and you also know that I have a bad temper and tend to quarrel when communicating with others, but you are different."

"You have been very eloquent since you were a child. You can talk to people and ghosts, and you can talk to everyone. I feel at ease when you are here. When I am not here, you take my place and be a good son and brother."

After filling the two jars of honey, Li Changlu felt proud in his heart, "That's right. It's okay if no one takes care of this big stall at home. The third child is just a boring gourd, the fourth child has to study, and the fifth child is not in good health, so he has to rely on me. .”

Li Xiaoyue chuckled, "That's right! After talking about responsibilities, let's talk about remuneration. We hire other people to pay wages. In our family, I am in charge of the accounting, but I pay wages to all of you."

"The eldest brother, the second child, and the third child are adults and do a lot of work. Each of them earns one hundred cents a day. The fourth child makes money by copying risk notices, which costs a penny for ten sheets."

Li Changxi heard that ten of them cost one penny, and writing one thousand of them cost only one hundred cents.

But he couldn't copy that much in a day, and he couldn't make a hundred cents at all.

"Mom, this is unfair." Li Changxi retorted. He had to strive for the greatest benefit for himself, otherwise the money earned by his family would not be his.

Li Xiaoyue looked at her fourth son Li Changxi, half-smiling but not smiling. This fourth son started to feel itchy again!
