Chapter 300
This matter will not be done for a while, and it needs to be done slowly. The first step is to dry the sea boat, and then start the workshop after making money. The Night King is also short of money, and the family has no money.
The Gu and Li families have no money, and they can’t get it out. The annual supply to the Northwest is a large sum, and the two families have invested all their energy. The Night King and the powerful family know this very well, and the accounts cannot be falsified.
Now there is a shortage of money everywhere in Fandi, and the people need to recuperate. Next, we need to reduce or exempt farmers from taxes again, so that the people can have enough food, and Fandi can be more stable.
Without taxes, there is no money. Construction needs money, and there is an increase in troops to protect itself. Everything needs money.
In a blink of an eye, it was snowing, and everyone had changed into thicker woolen clothes.
"Grandpa, I'll take you to Zhuangzi to recuperate, soak in the hot spring."
It was too cold, and several elderly people in the family fell ill one after another, and the government doctor took care of them every day for half a month before they recovered.
"also."
Grandpa Gu thought that the old brothers were suffering from various disasters and needed to be cultivated, so he agreed.
"Go, I'll take care of the house and let the government doctor follow."
"become."
Li Yu began to make arrangements, so that tomorrow morning, he would send someone to send a few old people to the Zhuangzi in Xinghualin to recuperate. There is a hot spring there, and the bubbles are very comfortable in winter.
Early the next morning, the children of the Gu family personally escorted the carriage to Zhuangzi to settle down.
After more than half a year of revision on Zhuangzi, it is a very beautiful small farmyard, with pavilions, pavilions, flowers, trees and plants, and the design is very elegant, very suitable for vacation and self-cultivation.
"Brother Xin, pay attention to safety on the road, Wan'er takes good care of grandparents and aunts."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry."
This time Brother Xin escorted everyone, and Wan'er also accompanied her. She has been busy for a year. Li Yu feels sorry for her worrying about her family. There are only two months left at the end of the year. Let him go to the hot spring to rest and take care of her by the way. Good old man.
Send the old man away, Li Yu still has a lot of things to do, Gu Lei is busy with the town, the weather is too cold to start construction, but there is still a lot of work that does not require civil engineering.
Li Yu has to count the profits of the family property, as well as his own dowry and the property of the mansion. At the end of the year, he has to settle the accounts, and he has to meet with the steward to discuss the arrangements for next year.
"It's snowing this year, and the snow is quite thick. I'm worried that next year there will be a lot of rain, and this year's grain will not be sold. Let's keep it for ourselves, and the excess will not be wasted when it is turned into wine."
Li Yu sat in the main hall, met with all the stewards, and arranged them one by one.
"Yes, young mistress, I bought a few Zhuangzi in the summer, and I need people over there, do you want to send some experienced people over there?"
"You look at promoting the second steward to work in the past, and lift up the young and experienced to be the second steward. Now our family is short of people, and the more you work, the better you will be. Otherwise, you will not be able to fall."
"Yes, then I'll sort it out and report back to you."
"Can."
"The medicinal materials for spring should be sent back in time. When the price of good medicinal materials is right, we will take them. There is only enough for our family, and there is no reason why we can't use them up. There is also a shortage of medicinal materials in the northwest. Even if you buy them boldly, the price must be right. Our hands Money is limited."
"yes."
"Next year, there will be several civilian places in the academy. I want three back. The grandson of Guanshi Sun will occupy one, and the other two will be given to Guanshi Yang's grandson. In the end, the uncle said that he will go to Guanshi Ma. He has been outside a lot these years. Hard work, our family has not forgotten everyone’s contributions, those who are not ranked still have a chance to turn over the new year, don’t worry, come and talk to me if you want, we can discuss it.”
At the end of the year, when it is time to judge meritorious service, you should also give chances to the managers.
Three generations of slaves can be good citizens, and Sun Guanshi himself is the fourth generation, so he naturally hopes to become a scholar, so Li Yu arranged for his grandson to study in the academy and enter as a commoner.
Even such an opportunity is not something he can get by himself, so he is naturally very happy.
The stewards immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thank you so much.
"The slave thanked the master for his great kindness..."
"Get up, I also hope that more and more talents can be used by our family. If your children are promising and capable, I can also consider arranging official positions for you. The prerequisite is to follow the right path."
"Yes, we have been the Gu family for several generations, and the gold and silver nests are not as strong as our own kennels."
Sun Guanshi's words are not rough, they will not redeem themselves to be good citizens. The children and grandchildren redeem their lives for their future, and for studying to get an official position.
It’s really troublesome for the whole family to be free. Survival is difficult in today’s chaotic world. The Gu family tree has deep roots, with military achievements, family style and connections. With the Gu family connections, children and grandchildren can be officials even if they are famous.
This is the path taken by the servants of the aristocratic family, ascending to Qingyun by the east wind.
It is much more stable than the humble scholars, and there are backers and backgrounds to take care of them, so others dare not bully them easily. If you are an official, you will have a future if you have fame.
Sun Guanshi and others have been servants of the Gu family for several generations. In fact, the Gu family is also their root, and they will never leave unless they have to.
"I went to study hard, seize the opportunity, and fight for my own future."
"yes."
Li Yu made new deployments and arrangements, and bought a lot of land and shops in the Jiangnan area to prepare for the future.
The south of the Yangtze River is rich in food, and it is impossible for the Night King not to see it. It is necessary to deploy in advance, and the same is true for Shu.
These strategies require a forward-looking clan wife to arrange, and it also leaves behind for the family.
The Gu family came out of the capital and was not defeated. It was the old lady who fought bravely when she was young and had profitable industries in several places, which supported the Gu family from falling down.
Now it is Li Yu who manages to plan these, and it is also passed down from generation to generation.
After a busy morning, I was relieved to drink some tea.
Gu Lei came back, and Li Yu got up to greet him.
"Come back so early, is there something to order?"
"I have an appointment for dinner in the afternoon, and I will come back early to accompany you to have lunch. Are you tired? There are many things to do at the end of the year. If you can't finish it, wait for me to come back and do it together. Don't tire yourself out."
Gu Lei touched her little face distressedly.
"It's okay, I can't wait for you. I met with the steward today and arranged a few major events. I will go to buy Zhuangzi and open stores in key locations such as Jiangnan, Sichuan, and Guangdong and Fujian. We have to pave our own way so as not to be controlled by others. .”
"Okay, you can't go wrong with the arrangement."
"Our workshop will increase its efforts to make dyes this year. Last year, small troubles accounted for one-third of the profit. It is really a lot of money. With the help of His Highness, we will catch up on dyes in the past two years. Catch it, get all the recipes out, and try to gain the upper hand."
Li Yu reacted quickly, led the family forward bravely, had a good strategy and a long-term perspective, and looked at problems in the long run. The family property has regained its vitality and has a trend of prosperity.
Now the Gu family and clan admire her a hundred times, and everyone is united in their hearts. No one dares to disobey her.
The united Gu family showed its due strength, and let the family members see Li Yu's ability.
