Jishui County

Wang Hongyi took Song Xinyou and Zhao Wan on a big boat and floated on the Jishui River.

On the deck, the sun is shining, and the September sun is still a little hot, but sitting under the covered canopy above, the sunlight shines through the panes, and the fine pieces are sprinkled on the utensils, which shows the mood.

The pale green liquor was poured out of the silver kettle by the maid, making the wine glass a piece of blue, and Wang Hongyi sighed and drank the wine.

The two women were looking at Wang Hongyi with fluctuating eyes.

For a few months, the women in the family also knew Wang Hongyi's habit that they could drink some wine, but the wine must be low, according to Wang Hongyi's inner thoughts, that is, it should not exceed the degree of beer, and the taste is sweet.

However, it was difficult for the maid and mother-in-law of the Song family to marry, and soon a sweet wine came up.

Wang Hongyi is served on the table, it is a fried chicken with some marinated and cut pork ears, and some vegetables, as long as his wife can order her own food and add it, but it is only five or six.

If this is known to outsiders, it is simple, but now the two women already know that it is just that Wang Hongyi is afraid of trouble and never likes to make seventeen or eighteen dishes.

The three of them shared the table and dined together, Wang Hongyi looked at Song Xinyou and Zhao Wan, and saw that Song Xinyou was smiling and talking freely, and his eyebrows and eyes smiled into a crooked crescent moon, and Zhao Wan sat upright, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, showing a little graceful, and couldn't help laughing.

Wang Hongyi understands very well that Song Xinyou is confident in herself, confident in her family background, and has her own demeanor, so she naturally doesn't need to be like this, and Zhao Wan was originally from a small family, although she is rigid and soft on the inside, smart and wise, but this kind of connotation and confidence is not something that can be cultivated in a day or two, so she naturally has some ingenuity.

However, for Wang Hongyi, they are all good, even if they know that they have some intrigue inside, but at least on the surface, there is a group of harmony, which makes a kind of happiness and satisfaction fill Wang Hongyi's mind.

Wang Hongyi is still very willing to be confused in this regard, although some people will feel a little aq.

At this time, Song Xinyou was reporting the situation at home.

Many people always think that the ancient family has a wealthy family of 100,000 silver, and the hostess can use it how she wants, which is actually a very wrong thing, only to listen to Song Xinyou said: "The old lady has twenty taels a month, and there are eight maids in the room, two big maids for one or two a month, and six maids for five hundred dollars a month, how about it?"

"Well, yes, you are the wife, the same as the old lady, the same, Wan'er is a little inferior, eighteen taels, six maids, and two foreman maids. "The following is about the treatment of herself and Zhao Wan, Song Xinyou is not very easy to say, if it is a wife, there is no other wife, you can decide in a word, of course there is some trouble at this time, so Wang Hongyi directly helped her.

Song Xinyou's autumn-like eyes lit up, and her eyebrows and smile expanded little by little, not for this treatment, but because Wang Hongyi was empathetic and divided the difference.

Twenty taels and eighteen taels, eight maids and six maids, it seems simple, but it is a matter of name.

It's like Li Cunyi and Li Chengye, although they have the courage to suppress everywhere, is this a matter of talent, no, this is just the power of the monarch and the minister.

"The steward set a monthly rate of five taels, and the mother-in-law and servants below also followed the ...... Roughly calculated, the monthly expenses in the government are one hundred and fifty taels, and if you count the others, three hundred taels. ”

Twenty taels of silver is enough for a family to live without worry, Wang Hongyi suddenly felt a little ridiculous, this expenditure is already very extravagant.

However, Shuzhong is the country of abundance, with mild climate, developed water conservancy, abundant products, and few natural disasters.

Of course, this has led to a peculiar relative conservative and closed surname, which is really not too extravagant.

"You can decide all of this, and let's talk about the more important things. Wang Hongyi waved his hand and said.

"Husband, please speak. ”

"The family is three hundred taels a month, and three thousand six hundred a year, plus the annual holiday rewards and rewards, no less than four thousand taels of silver, which can support half of the army. ”

"Husband, isn't it too much, then I'll take the lead in cutting some ......" Song Xinyou stood up and wanted to say.

“...... I'm not refuting what you mean, the need for decency in the family, I know, I mean, there has to be a way to open source. Seeing that Song Xinyou was about to speak, he waved his hand and said.

"Open source, how do you want to open source?"

"There are 200,000 acres of land in Jishui County, but only about 40,000 acres really belong to me, and these 40,000 acres are the fields that will be rewarded to the heroes in the future. ”

"Four thousand acres, build a Zhuangzi every five hundred acres, that is, six, the old lady is mainly to enjoy happiness, it is enough to manage one for her, Zhao Wan, you also manage two, and three belong to Song Xinyou. ”

"In addition to the old lady's Zhuangzi, Zhao Wan, you are in charge, and you have to report to Song Xinyou at the end of the year. ”

"The rules of my family are not ordinary, women are in charge of the inside, men are in charge of the outside, for me, this military and political event is the outside, the rent of the Zhuangzi field is the inside, the serious and famous women in the family have to be managed, and with the expansion of reclamation in the future, the private land in the family will also expand, this is a large piece, whether the management is good or not, and then calculate at the end of the year, I will adjudicate. ”

"Husband......" Song Xinyou changed color a little, which is very contrary to the current common sense.

“...... After listening to me, this field is only a piece, and the other piece is commerce, restaurants, caravans, fleets, money houses, etc., all of which are built by you, and you are in charge, and I have only one request -- that is, these family businesses are private wealth, and they must not hinder the great cause, and do not make me angry with heaven and people, and take things by force. ”

"I know these things, business and family business are inevitable, but I have to control the proportions, and I know that for the sake of the great cause, I can only deal with it strictly. ”

The two daughters both stood up, saluted and said, "Yes, husband." ”

As soon as this family law came out, Zhao Wan's eyes finally lit up, she was originally from a farmer's family, and she loved the fields very much.

Song Xinyou was a little uncomfortable, but thinking that all the business and trade aspects were in her hands, and she would review it at the end of the year, plus she was newly married, so after thinking about it, she didn't have any opinions.

After solving these family matters, Wang Hongyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, sipped a sip of sweet wine, hung it in his throat, and after a while, he said again: "Not only that, but there will be some property in the future, I estimate that it will be half a year's thing, Cui Chengyu, in the future, it will be allocated to my name, and I will do it directly, I have some things I want him to do." ”

"Husband, I'm married, and the person I bring is naturally my husband's person, just use it...... Sister, I've almost eaten this lunch, let's go down!"

Watching the two of them go down, Wang Hongyi sighed a little emotionally, now Zhao Wan is silent, this is actually not that she is not smart, but that she has no confidence.

The wealth, knowledge, manpower, and status brought by the family background are very heavy, just like the difference between Wang Hongyi and ordinary Wang family members now.

If Wang Hongyi didn't care about it like this, Song Xinyou would swallow this house sooner or later, suffocating Zhao Wan.

To give her two Zhuangzi is to give her a foundation for breathing and growth.

No matter what, Zhao Wan can't let her down, and always has to silently prepare for her and set aside a pure land.

What a home is, is a private and self-owned space.

No matter how depressed it is outside, home is a pure land, and in his previous life, even a small piece of residence on the earth was not his own, Wang Hongyi was actually full of depression and dissatisfaction.

If you don't have full sovereignty over your small homestead, you won't be able to breathe and relax freely, even in a small residential area, and your heart will be at peace.

It is precisely because Wang Hongyi wants to leave a piece of soil for Zhao Wan that allows her to breathe freely.

Even if it's a small piece.

Just thinking about it, a man in green clothes has come up, this person is wearing green clothes, he is not very old, his hands and feet are slender and strong, and his skin has a long-term weathered color.

When Wang Hongyi arrived, his eyes shrank and he bowed: "Uncle, oh, no, lord." ”

This person is Cui Chengyu.

"I have something to do for you. Wang Hongyi said, "Find me some people who specialize in digging mines." ”

Cui Chengyu didn't expect this new master to ask for this, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "If it's only within a hundred people, the villain can get it." ”

"100 people are enough, but this matter can't be leaked, you know the consequences if it is leaked. Wang Hongyi said lightly.

Cui Chengyu responded awe-inspiringly: "Yes!"

"Also, you are a merchant, send people around, and slowly collect the map. ”

"No!"

When he retired, Wang Hongyi spread out a map, the ancient map was really not flattering, but at least a few counties were still marked.

There is iron, gold, and silver in Shu.

In Jishui County, there is sand gold, sand gold, originated from the mine, the gold ore is blown by the wind and rain, the rock is weathered and cracked, the gold will be separated from the vein along with the sediment and go down the water, naturally precipitated in the stone sand, in the bottom of the river or under the sand and gravel deposited as a gold-bearing layer, thus forming sand gold.

It's hard to dig out the sand gold, and it's actually not worth it.

But Wang Hongyi knows that Changding Town, that is, Shunyi County, next door to Taisu County, has a golden vein upstream of the water, which is not big, but it is almost equal to the open pit.

This mine is not very large, it is said that it was mined for seven years and then opened, and it is 5,000 taels of gold per year.

At first, it was a top secret, and the specific situation was still after the mining was completed, and there was no need for secrecy, so Wang Hongyi, who was imprisoned by chance, knew.

Five thousand taels of gold a year is fifty thousand taels of silver, and you can do many things.

At least the early expenses will make up for a large chunk.

When the golden veins dry up later, half or the entire Shu land has already been occupied by then, and there are naturally many financial sources.

If this mine is taken, the last lifeblood of the hidden dragon will wither.
