Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 270 Charcoal
The cave is not a place to discuss, and Ning Wan can't go out for a long time, after all, there are Sophora japonica at home.

The couple walked out of the cave and put back the stones that were covering them. When they got home, they sent Wan Shi away. The daughter-in-law nursed her daughter, and Tie Shi leaned aside and said, "It's definitely not right to take out too much gold for use." , I want to do a business to raise soldiers, and if we spend a lot of money, it will not be obvious."

"What business do you want?"

"It's impossible to grow grain here, but the mountains are full of coal, so let's sell the coal!"

Sure enough, we still have to use this method!But this thing is being produced here!

Ning Wan nodded in agreement, "I see that there is a lot of coal here, and everyone doesn't care. In fact, this thing is very useful, especially burnable, and it is much more convenient than firewood. If it is really transported to Anpingwei, Hutai County, it must be It can be sold for a good price!"

"Are you also optimistic about charcoal?" Lu Tieshi smiled, "I was worried that people would not buy it because they were not used to it."

"No, as long as it is useful, it will spread quickly." Back then when Tiishi sent charcoal to Hutai County, many people did not recognize it at first and dared not buy it, but it didn't take long for charcoal to become The goods were in short supply, and anyone who wanted to buy had to intercede with Mr. Wei Dong's family - Mr. Wei's family was the one who sold coal in Hutai County on behalf of Tieshi.

Although Lu Tieshi had already made plans in his heart, he was more confident when he got the approval of his wife. You must know that the daughter-in-law is very capable and good at doing business. The biggest thing is that the daughter-in-law did it all by herself. The father-in-law and mother-in-law have always said that if there is no daughter-in-law, the family would still be farming in Sanjia Village.

"Well, I'll send out a soldier from the General Banner to dig coal and send it to Hutai County. How to sell it there is up to you. Then you can give half of the proceeds to the army."

Ning Wan clicked on the iron stone, "You! Although you are a wise person, you still don't understand business matters!"

When Lu Tieshi heard this, he laughed and took another step forward, pillowed on Ning Wan's lap, and shook it gently, "My daughter-in-law can naturally tell me if she has any good ideas, and I have no one else to discuss with."

That's why, in his dream, Tie Shi was always alone. Even though Luo Bing was by his side, Luo Bing, who was born in the south of the Yangtze River and studied and became an official, didn't know how to run a business. He was actually better at court affairs Therefore, whenever he had the opportunity, he became a scholar of Zhongjitang University.

Ning Wan, who was the young mistress of the Zhao family, even found that Tieshi's charcoal business was not doing well enough. Now that she has opened two shops and a few workshops from scratch, her knowledge is naturally higher.

It happened that Sophora Hua'er was also full, so she crawled from Ning Wan's arms onto her father's body, pulled his hair vigorously with her small hands, and yelled "Yah!"

Tie Shi understood, and quickly sat up and lifted Sophora japonica from the ground, making her giggle.It turned out that ever since he was playing with Sophora japonica flowers in his arms on the road, the child remembered that every time he saw his father, he would ask for it.Right now the room is too low and short, and Tie Shi can barely stand upright when he gets up, so he can only sit on the kang and hold her up.

Seeing that the father and daughter had played for a while, Ning Wan picked up Sophora pagoda japonica, picked up a few wooden toys and handed them to her, and then talked about what happened just now, "You don't need to let the soldiers do the digging and transportation of coal, Now that you have to repair delivery shops and roads, there is a shortage of manpower, and it takes time to train soldiers. Soldiers who do these chores all day long don’t have time to practice!”

"Who doesn't understand this truth?" Tie Shi said helplessly: "Luckily, I have a commanding officer now, so I don't have to worry about military rations and salaries. Before, I had to spend so much effort just to feed everyone! In the early years, Liaodong’s military rations were transported by sea from the south. The 24 sailors built to transport the rations had long since been abandoned. Now they only patrol the rivers and smugglers. The Liaodong military rations are all supplemented by the military, and only the money is paid. Eight out of ten years is not enough to mobilize from the DPRK and China.”

It is precisely because of these shortcomings that the combat power of the Liaodong Army is declining day by day.It is only said that the reason why my father-in-law was able to rise from a small soldier to a fourth-rank commander decades ago was precisely because at that time the court and the barbarians were still able to fight.Since then, the imperial court has repeatedly fought and failed, and slowly withdrew the northernmost guards one by one. The Yi people won a large area of ​​grazing land and did not invade again. That is why Anpingwei became the northernmost guard. Duolun, which used to be an ordinary one-hundred-household house, became a place where barbarians lived together.

"So, we have to hire the people in the mountains to do things for us." Ning Wan had already made up her mind. If Tieshi didn't mention the coal today, she would have said it herself. The matter was almost inquired, "The reason why there are so many bandits in this area is that people say that there are troublemakers in poor mountains and rivers. I’m afraid they will come out to rob if it’s too hard, we let the common people dig coal, and they can eat enough if they earn money, so naturally they won’t be bandits anymore!”

Lu Tieshi was sent to suppress the bandits. He always thought about how to suppress the bandits, but he never thought about it from the perspective of the bandits. At this time, he couldn't help but patted on the kang, "Daughter-in-law, what you said is really reasonable!"

He was so strong that he suddenly slapped the mountain loudly. Sophora was startled and raised his head to look around, and quickly climbed into his mother's arms.Ning Wan hugged her daughter and patted her head, "Don't be afraid! Our Huaihua'er has always been very courageous! It's your father, he was not careful at all, and scared little Huaihua'er."

Tie Shi also knew that he was wrong, so he quickly took over his daughter, "Father will hold you to play again, okay?"

After making his daughter laugh for a while, Tie Shi said, "Go ahead."

Ning Wan said: "Those bandit leaders and habitual bandits have done too many bad things, and I'm afraid it's impossible to change them. You've almost wiped them out. Now the rest are little bandits, and they were just doing it for food. Eat, now give them a chance to earn food and clothing by their own efforts, and they will be willing to do so.”

"This method is good, but there are also difficulties. Hiring people to do the work always requires wages, and transporting coal requires buying mules and carts, and opening a shop in Hutai County. How can there be money if you don't move the gold?"

Although Tie Shi got a sum of money from suppressing the bandits, there was not much left as a reward. The money earned by the wife's shop and workshop was used to repair the house.

"No need, I've already done the calculations." Ning Wan pointed her fingers and said, "First, although hired workers have to pay wages, the village always pays the bills on New Year's Day, so we will settle the bills in Lidong, then At that time, a lot of charcoal had been sold, so it was natural to have money, and the work would stop when it was cold; second, the weather has warmed up now, so it is good to just build some simple work sheds for the workers, and three meals a day For the grain, we use the fur shop to mortgage the credit to the big grain merchants, and we can pay back the money at the end of the year. At that time, the coal should be sold, and the price has risen. , we only need to take the lottery, and we don't even need to spend a little effort."

The originally very complicated matter was cleared up by the daughter-in-law as soon as she said it, and it seemed to be very easy, without using a single soldier. Just smiled.

Now that Ning Wan has made up her mind, she settled down on the details, "I see that there is an open space at the foot of Huju Mountain. The first order has built a wall to store coal. The gate must be wide open so that mule carts can enter and exit. kind of..."

"Although we don't need the help of soldiers, we still need someone to manage the amount of coal here, so as to prevent someone from playing tricks in the middle. What's more, we have to remember how much coal we have dug and how much we have sent down the mountain. It is only fair to pay wages according to this amount..."

Tie Shi nodded after hearing this, but suddenly interrupted her and asked, "But daughter-in-law, don't you plan to take care of the charcoal business at all?" I want my daughter-in-law to earn some money.

Ning Wan is most aware of the hot coal business in the future, and also knows how profitable it will be, but she really doesn't want to participate, "Of course I want to help you plan, but I don't want to lose money or goods."

"Then you won't make any money!"

"I didn't even think about making money from the charcoal business!" Ning Wan smiled and said, "You gave me so much jewelry, enough for me to use for several lifetimes, and if I earn too much money, there will be no use." Let go!"

"It's not entirely about making money," Lu Tieshi vaguely understood that the so-called daughter-in-law likes money, of course she likes doing business, but she should prefer doing business.There should be a reason why he refuses to accept the charcoal business now. After thinking about it, he understood, "You don't have to be afraid of other people's gossip, I have it!"

"I know, I know! And I'm very, very happy!" Ning Wan smiled, and patted his head as if comforting a pagoda tree.Tieshi is a very capable person. He is brave and good at fighting, and has firm beliefs. However, because of his special family and experience, he is different from others, and his personality is a bit too maverick.

In dealing with people, Tieshi is very indifferent to most people and is lazy in dealing with them.But if he really becomes the one he cares about from the bottom of his heart, he will use his heart infinitely.In the dream, his real friend was only Luo Bing, but now he was added to him, and he even had to be ranked above Luo Bing.Therefore, Tie Shi's kindness to himself is not ordinary, and can only be described by the word "favor". He doesn't care about other people's eyes, and he doesn't care about public opinion, he just wants to make his wife happy.

Tieshi asked himself to do coal business, but in fact he gave the money to himself for nothing. He dug out the coal and sent it to the city. He will also subsidize himself with gold.

Ning Wan is really lucky to have such a husband, but besides being lucky, she doesn't want to live only by Tie Shi's favor, but also wants to help Tie Shi.Because she is actually the same person as Tieshi at a certain point, she also loves Tieshi to the bottom of her heart, and is willing to do her best to let him achieve his wish!
As a husband and wife, Ning Wan will use her cheerful personality and experienced social skills to help Tieshi make up for what he lacks, such as human relations, such as establishing a good reputation, etc., because these are also very, very important!
"Tieshi, I know what I should do for the best for our family!"
