Chapter 401: Buy a Person

"Shi Liu, what do you want from me?" Li Rongsong asked, his eyes still drifting towards the east room.

Shi Liu said, "It's like this. I was thinking, eldest cousin, why don't you buy a maid? Now that eldest cousin's wife has given birth, there are three children to take care of at home. The eldest and second cousin's wives are both working, and there's no one to take care of them at home. It would be more appropriate to buy a maid."

Shi Liu had considered this suggestion before. Even if Old Yuan helped to look after the people, she was old and San Ni was young, so they were not capable of taking on the responsibility.

If she hadn't known that her eldest cousin would not agree, she would have sent two people over directly.

However, even if she didn't give it to him, she calculated that her eldest cousin's family was wealthy, so it would not be a problem for her to buy a wife for him.

Jiang and Wan both hired small managers in the workshop. As their own workshops must take care of their own people first, the small manager's monthly salary is one tael of silver, which is twelve taels a year, not to mention the gifts during the New Year holidays.

The two brothers Li Rongsong took turns delivering goods and could earn one or two taels of silver every month.

There are fields and other things at home.

Even if he could send Tan Ge'er to school, he could still save some money after a year.

Buying a mother-in-law is not a problem.

After hearing this, Li Rongsong couldn't help but think about it carefully. He had thought about this before, but except for Shi Liu's family, no other family in the village had hired someone to serve them.

They are all genuine farmers, and they really don't dare to think about hiring people to serve them.

But Shi Liu is right. It would be a lot more convenient to have someone at home to take care of the children.

His wife and brother's wife could earn a lot of money in the workshop every year. If any of them stopped working and came back to take care of the family, the loss would be so great that he didn't know how many people they could buy.

My wife is about to give birth again—

Thinking of this, Li Rongsong said, "It's time to buy someone, but I don't know the market in this city. Can you trouble Shi Liu to help me buy a woman?"

As he said this, he was about to give Shi Liu some silver. Shi Liu did not refuse and took the silver and said, "At most, I will buy the person back for my eldest cousin in the next few days."

After that, he changed the subject and said, "Brother, you should hire someone to harvest the crops in your fields this year, and let your second cousin deliver the goods. I have bought the land near the official road at the entrance of the village. I want your eldest cousin to supervise the construction of the house. When the time comes, we will open a branch of the express post station here, and you will be the manager."

There will be many branch stations around. She has money, so it won’t be a big deal to build one in Xiahe Village.

Besides, it is not far from Luoshui City to Qianping County. If there are any escorts or goods that need to be transported through, it would be appropriate to have a branch station here for rest and transit.

Li Rongsong was confused. He understood the idea of ​​building a house, but what was a branch of a Kuaiyi Station? What was a station manager?
"That's what the manager meant. As for the express post station, I have teamed up with Liu Dongjia and plan to open an express post station that combines an escort agency and a post station..."

Shi Liu explained the situation in general, and when the express station opens, they will have an idea of ​​how to operate it specifically.

Li Rongsong was shocked when he heard this. He didn't care about his wife for the time being. He looked at Shi Liu with nothing but admiration.

Ever since he was a child, he had always thought that his cousin was quiet but organized and had her own ideas. But he never thought that his cousin would be so lucky.

In just a few years, Xiahe Village had undergone such great changes that he wondered if he or Shi Liu had been born in the wrong family.

Such a capable pomegranate could only be born in the Li family.

If it were him, he would not have thought of all the money-making businesses.

From food workshops to toy shops to Sheep Workshop herbal medicine restaurant, and now to this express delivery station, this is really something that cannot be imagined by an ordinary mind.

Although it is still unclear what this express station is called, Li Rongsong understands one thing clearly.

Shi Liu is also helping his cousin.

Needless to say, Li Rongsong's heart was filled with emotion. His family had inherited a lot of benefits from pomegranates. Without pomegranates, their family wouldn't be in its current situation.

He didn't know how to repay Shi Liu, the only thing he could do was to listen to Shi Liu and do whatever Shi Liu asked him to do well, and would never cause trouble or hold Shi Liu back!
