Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 393 Like-minded people

Thinking about whether to go to the back mountain tomorrow morning, but not wanting you to go with him, Gu Wenxuan hesitated for a moment but did not say anything, and quickly started to have afternoon tea.

The entire mountain belongs to my family, and I can still run. Don't rush, wait for the right opportunity, make good use of it, and you will naturally get good results.

Besides, in summer, the forest is full of vegetation, not to mention shrubs, even weeds can reach knee high, so why bother letting my daughter-in-law go into the mountains.

At the very least, we have to wait for the letter from the Linya person, then see if we can exchange two pieces of wasteland with the Ma family, and then we can make plans.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you. Yesterday I ordered to go down and inform Gu Yourong that this group of people can come here first.

As for the newly bought manpower, it is better to get used to it in the three Zhuangzi first. If they can't get through with the Zhuangzi, there is no need to send them here.

As long as I didn't intend to cheat on the girl, I also gave the order and asked Uncle Zhang to make an appointment with Yahang in advance, so that the person could only be sent back to Yahang.

There's nothing you can do about it, as the saying goes, 'One rat droppings ruins a pot of soup.' 'It's not like doing charity. You can make a lot of money and spend a lot of money. You can't be a good person if you are soft-hearted. "

But no, if you don’t become a family, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are. If you don’t travel through time, you don’t know how difficult it is for the lower class people in ancient times to live.

Despite repeated claims that the dynasty was light on corvee and low on taxes, land tax was still paid every summer and autumn, and grain production was very small.

The average yield per mu of good farmland in the county is four to five hundred kilograms of sorghum and two to three hundred kilograms of wheat. However, the so-called high-yielding corn is not the multi-ear corn developed by later generations.

Nowadays, one stalk per ear, no matter how carefully managed, the yield per acre is not much more than that of sorghum. Nowadays, for the people at the bottom, sweet potatoes are the real staple food to satisfy their hunger.

Tell your wife that Qinghe Village was actually a Fuyu Village before, but once a disaster occurs for a year and a half, at least one-third of the village's households will be without food?

This year alone, there are more people working for the couple. As long as every household is diligent and earns twenty cash a day, they don't even have to worry about paying summer taxes.

It’s better to forget it and don’t mention it.

His wife is busy enough here.

"clever!"

Is this worthy of praise?
Zhou Banxia glanced at Gu Wenxuan in a funny way. Seeing that he was no longer distracted, he almost held his chopsticks upside down. He also picked up the bowl and tasted the bird's nest porridge spoon by spoon.

Although there were many varieties of porridge and pastries at afternoon tea, and there were nourishing ones for men and women, the portions of each were not large, and Aunt Lan must have been worried that she and the couple would be too full to eat dinner.

Therefore, eating three times or two times no slower than lunch time, Zhou Banxia said that she was already seventy percent full and needed to keep her stomach to go home for dinner.

As Gu Wenxuan expected, his wife couldn't take any time off. After eating, she couldn't wait to go to the incense making room in the Neifang on the pretext of eating.

Wormwood in May, sweet-scented osmanthus in August.

These are among the easiest spices to collect.

It's already July. In order to smoothly launch the next product, Zhou Banxia specially held a small meeting within the incense workshop today.

Because making incense is a top priority, the people here are all carefully selected by her. They are also the only R&D personnel in the entire workshop who will not be picked out by Chang Qing and Zhou Molan and assigned to other tasks. Gu Dayou I am one of the R&D personnel here.

Gu Wenxuan didn't think much about it for a moment. Seeing Zhou Banxia was busy, he also changed his route to the paper mill on the west side, but couldn't find anyone. Then he remembered that Gu Dayou was called away.

Fortunately, after a few days, the papermaking workshop here and whether the papermaking technology had been improved or not, Gu Dayou, the master master, left, and everyone else was still busy. With the steward of the paper mill who cooperated with Gu Dayou accompanying him to explain, Gu Wenxuan more or less understood the latest situation after witnessing it with his own eyes.

Several types of paper produced here can definitely be improved after modification, but the degree of improvement is very limited. After all, every process is made by hand.

Gu Wenxuan thought that his requirements were not high, so he simply selected two types of paper from the several types of paper produced after the reconstruction so far, and announced that these two types of paper would be produced.

One of the most exquisitely crafted papers is still used for wrapping soap and candles, while the other is toilet paper.

Toilet paper is essential and the best paper to put into production.

Nowadays, he and his wife basically use the best toilet paper on the market except in the space. The last time they consumed a large toilet paper, they could buy half a catty of meat.

It's extremely expensive, but it really can't be saved. Wiping your butt with a corn peel is already very good. It makes it clean, so that's all.

His father-in-law was such a frugal person, but now he was jokingly saying that he smelled of shit when he walked out, and that corn peel would no longer work.

With the thought that no matter what kind of paper he made, he must first serve himself and his wife, Gu Wenxuan made this decision very decisively and quickly.

The same goes for Zhou Banxia in the incense making workshop. The final content of the meeting was to produce a set of high-quality scented soaps that moisturize and whiten skin.

In her words, this set of high-quality spices is planned to be launched on the market first as a New Year gift, and then we will see how the subsequent sales increase or decrease.

Now she has begun to worry about how many favors she and her husband have had, and what to prepare for the holiday on August 15th next year.

It's not like the Dragon Boat Festival. Most of the favor exchanges basically take away the things from the master's family and return them to the west's family, and take away the things from the west's family and return them to the master's family.

It's only once, how can it be easy to cheat, but it will become a joke if it happens again and again. It is easier to put the things produced in one's own workshop into gift boxes one by one.

The small meeting was dismissed.

After leaving the incense making shop, we returned to the small courtyard.

Considering that some of the people who came and went could not put all the fragrant soap gift boxes, Zhou Banxia immediately started to strike while the iron was hot and convened a meeting with all the managers in charge of the soap shop, oil shop, tofu shop, as well as the candle shop and paper shop that were in trial production.

The purpose of this meeting was just one - gift box, gift box, gift box. Gu Wenxuan, who returned to the small courtyard with the steward of the paper mill, could not bear the laughter until he was almost hurt internally.

He just pretended to be doing it for his own benefit by making a piece of toilet paper, but his wife wished she could even make tofu into a gift box as a gift to give and receive in return.

Impressed!

As Datong's instructions continued, the stewards, who didn't know his wife's little thoughts, came up with new tricks, but they were shocked.

Now, everyone is as if they have been given a shot of chicken blood, and they can't wait to issue military orders to compete for the first place. No, they are rushing to various workshops non-stop.

This daughter-in-law is worthy of being a sales leader. She talks about people and ghosts, doing one thing after another. There is no need for a otaku like him to hold the line.

"Otaku?" Zhou Banxia decisively ignored someone and wanted to praise her in disguise, "Not a scheming person? Gu Xiucai, you are being humble again."

"You've lost your temper again. Let's go, madam, go home. It's too late, and Aunt Lan has to raise pigs again."
