Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

Gu Xiaoyu thought carefully about what she said, and nodded after a moment, "My son understands, but if they really reveal the formula, the business will definitely be affected. Will my husband's family be willing?"

Gu Huanxi sighed, "What does it matter whether you are willing or not? You can't ignore your daughter-in-law's natal family. Who in the world can truly put aside favors and only act according to the rules?"

After a pause, she smiled and touched Gu Xiaoyu's head, and said, "They spread the formula, but the impact is actually not very big. At most, the business is deserted, but if you make less money, you will make less money." Well, after all, the people’s roots are still the fields, and they are all doing business, so who will grow the crops?”

Gu Xiaoyu's heart moved and he blurted out, "The founding emperor of Dayong did not emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce. On the contrary, he advocated the development of commerce. He believed that only when commerce was prosperous would the country be rich and the people strong, so when he was in power, he raised The status of merchants allowed their sons to take part in the imperial examinations. Many academies and martial arts academies in the capital had sons of merchants, and the academies were required to treat them equally and not behave in a disgraceful way. In order to develop business and increase taxes, the city even imposed a curfew on hours. Everything has been changed and postponed until midnight. At night, the shops on several main streets have lanterns hanging high, making them as bright as day."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi looked at him and said, "It's right not to suppress business, and it's right to promote and encourage moderately, but you can't go beyond agriculture. Agriculture is the foundation and business is the supplement. Once this balance is broken, the consequences will be disastrous."

Later generations vigorously developed commercial activities because grain production increased significantly and mechanized operations freed up too much labor. What would we do if we didn't do business? There was no shortage of food at that time, and no matter how hard it was, you could still rely on imports from abroad. But now, conditions in all aspects are lagging behind, and there are fewer people farming the land, and we will immediately fall into a food crisis. Not to mention that there are still droughts from time to time, and the court still has If you don't do much, it will be a peaceful and prosperous time, and the person who sits on it will be a wise king, and agriculture will be the main focus, otherwise there will not be enough food to eat.

unless……

Gu Huanxi thought about the sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn in the RV. Unless these high-yielding grains became widely available, he would no longer have to worry about starvation.

Next year, I don’t know if there will be a chance to take it out.

……

Next, Xu Huaiyi woke up like a star, and persisted for seven days. When he saw that the tofu shop was on track and there was nothing he needed to keep an eye on, he was finally able to sleep peacefully.

In the past seven days, Gu Huanxi only went to look at the account books once in the afternoon. She taught Liu Xiuwen how to do accounting in later generations and drew a simple form. There were so many records coming in and out every day, which was clear at a glance and very convenient to read.

The daily income is quite considerable. There is no hope of making a fortune, but it does not take much effort to become a small landowner with no worries about food and drink.

The villagers also tasted the benefits. The timid and conservative group at first only dared to move some white tofu to sell in nearby villages. They could earn dozens of pennies a day. They were quite satisfied at first, but things were getting worse. Later, when I saw that other people could make several times their money by selling snacks at a stall, they immediately became jealous and changed their careers.

Nowadays, people in the village spontaneously allocate the land to each family. Anyway, the capital is big enough, so there is no need to worry about taking each other's business. They can make money together and everyone is happy.

Even though I was a little busy and tired, I had to get up before dawn. I first bought tofu from the Gu family, and then pushed it on a cart for dozens of miles to sell it. I had to attract customers while making it. Often every family had to Follow two or three people, otherwise you won't be able to use them.

But no matter how busy or tired they are, the villagers are still willing to go home and earn money every day. Only when they live a busy life can they have more smiles on their faces. People are also in good spirits and greet each other when they meet. His voice was bright, his steps were windy, and the whole village seemed to wake up from silence and glow with vitality.

The people of the original Hutian Village were envious.

When Village Chief Xu saw this, he secretly wiped away his tears with joy and privately said to his eldest son, "Even if dad dies now, he will still be smiling."

When Xu Changsong heard this, he panicked and quickly advised, "Where are we now? The good times are still to come. When everyone makes money, they can buy land, build houses, and marry wives for their sons. When the children of Stubble get up again, they will have no shortage of food and drink, and they will have spare money to study in school. At that time, the situation will be really good."

Village Chief Xu smiled so hard that his old eyes narrowed, "Yes, that's when we will be happy. If our village can provide a few more educated people, my life will be beautiful just thinking about it."

When Xu Changsong heard this, he suddenly asked strangely, "You're not still pointing to Huaiyi to study and looking forward to the smoke rising from the Xu family's ancestral graves, are you?"

Village Chief Xu asked, "What? No?"

Xu Changsong noticed the oppression and laughed dryly, "It's either that he can't do it, or he thinks you are too confident in him? I admit that he is very capable, but being capable does not mean that he is talented in reading. Besides, how old is he? Isn’t it too late to read it now?”

Village Chief Xu snorted displeased, "That's because you don't know him well enough. If you're not sure about something, do you think he would do it based on his temperament? Haven't you understood this along the way? In our eyes, no matter how difficult or impossible it is to do, it won't be a big deal to him, so if he says he wants to go to school, he will be able to achieve success."

Xu Changsong wanted to say something, but his father slapped him unceremoniously, "If you pour cold water on me again, believe it or not, I will slap you to death!"

Xu Changsong, "..."

Who is the real son? Isn't he allowed to question it?

It's not that he is petty and doesn't like Xu Huaiyi, it's just that he doesn't see any scholarly temperament in Xu Huaiyi.

At this moment, Gu Huanxi was also worried about Xu Huaiyi going to study. After the Tofu Fang area stabilized, the enemy was ready to find out the details of the neighbor next door. She didn't stop him, but when he wanted to go to the city At that time, he reminded me, "By the way, go to Jingwu Academy and ask when they will recruit students. Don't delay the registration."

Hearing this, Xu Huaiyi's scalp suddenly went numb, "Daughter-in-law, don't be in such a hurry, right? I seem to have heard someone say before that the college generally recruits students in spring and autumn. We must have missed it this year, otherwise I'll ask again next spring, I'm still thinking..."

Gu Huanxi intercepted the words expressionlessly, "Do you want to back out?"

Xu Huaiyi immediately shook his head as if it was about to fall, "I definitely didn't mean this!"

"Then if you're not in a hurry to sign up, what do you want to do with this time?"

"Ah? No, I just want to expand the tofu shop's business and make more money."

Gu Huanxi raised his eyebrows, clearly showing his disbelief, "Really? Don't you have other plans?"

Xu Huaiyi said firmly, "No, I just think it's too slow for Gao Zhuang to expand channels alone. I want to make the reputation of our tofu shop in the capital as soon as possible, so that I can go to Jingwu Academy with peace of mind in the future." Otherwise, I can’t worry about you.”
