The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Jiang Li saw that everyone had rested their stomachs, so she said: "It has been a month since we came here to escape the famine. Now that we have settled here, it is time to think about our family's livelihood."

When talking about this issue, everyone stopped their chopsticks and raised their ears to listen to what Jiang Li said, even Jiang Baishu.

Although he is young, he has a lot to worry about, and he still does not forget to take care of Tie Niu and pick up vegetables for Tie Niu.

"Now our family has a total of three incomes. One is my mother's medicine collection, one is my eldest brother's work in the dental shop, and the other is our braised pork business."

"If we maintain the current scale of medicine collection, we will have a net income of about 20 taels a month. Although the braised pork business started late, we still have 23 taels of silver now. The eldest brother has the highest income in the dental shop. Yes, I brought back a total of one hundred and sixteen taels of silver this month, which is the biggest source of income for the whole family. We applaud the eldest brother for his hard work!"

Jiang Li said, taking the lead in applauding.

But Jiang Songshu was so embarrassed that his cheeks turned red and he touched his nose uncomfortably. The haze in his heart had to dissipate a lot because of this.

Suddenly he felt that the words on his lips were not so difficult to say, so he looked at Jiang Li.

"Ah Li, there may not be that many next month." Jiang Songshu hesitated for a moment and decided to tell everyone.

Everyone looked at Jiang Songshu, and Jiang Li guessed and asked, "The income in your industry fluctuates greatly. This month may be due to the influx of people fleeing famine, so it is normal for the income to be higher. Brother, don't be too busy." Worry."

Jiang Songshu shook his head, "That's not what I'm referring to. Today, the boss has re-established the rules. Originally, we Ya people could take 50% of the money earned for the Ya shop, but now it will be reduced to 10%."

Of the 116 taels that Jiang Songshu took back, 50 taels were earned equally by Duan Yuanzhou and the seller when Duan Yuanzhou competed with him. The remaining 66 taels were earned from Yahang and he will earn the same amount for Yahang next month. of silver, you can only get 13 taels of silver.

What's more, next month's market may not be as good as this month's, and there will be even less that can be obtained.

"Ali, I've thought about it for a while. It may not be suitable to stay in Yaxing anymore. I don't have a clue about what to do next, but I want to calm down with you first."

After saying it, Jiang Songshu felt much more at ease.

Jiang Li didn't speak immediately. She tapped her fingers on the table. After thinking for a while, she asked Jiang Songshu, "Brother, have you considered coming over to start a braised pork business together?"

"what?"

The Jiang family all looked at Jiang Li.

Mr. Jiang took the first step to stop him and said, "Ali, you started the braised pork business first, and you will get married later. This can be considered as a source of confidence for you. None of us have thought about taking away your business."

"But I can't be busy by myself. Instead of looking for outsiders, I might as well come with my brother." Jiang Lei raised his eyelids and looked at everyone.

"The amount of braised pork we make now is very small. Yunzhou City is so big. I want to expand our braised pork business to the entire Yunzhou City. Didn't our family also rent a hill? If the braised pork business Well done, I also plan to raise pigs, chickens, and ducks at home. This marinade can be used to braise pork, and that one can also be used to braise chickens and ducks."

Jiang Li opened up her thoughts to everyone.

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Songshu, "Brother can get so much money back from the dental shop. Obviously, helping the dental shop earns far more than the one hundred taels of silver. Instead of helping others make money, it is better to help our own family make money."

Jiang Songshu's heart boiled with excitement when Jiang Li said it. Unfortunately, Jiang Songshu didn't know that there is a modern word called painted cakes.

So after hearing this, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Ah Li, I'll go home and help you."

"It's not about helping me, it's about us working together."

If you want a horse to run, you must give it grass.

Although Jiang Songshu is illiterate, her ability to run business is beyond doubt based on what she has observed over the past month.

After making arrangements for Jiang Songshu, Jiang Li looked at Jiang Youli and Zhao.

"Starting from tomorrow, everyone in our family will start learning numbers and arithmetic."

"After we can learn arithmetic, we will start to read."

Jiang Li looked at Jiang Baishu and Tieniu, "From now on, we will leave the job of teaching literacy at home to Abai and Tieniu. What you learned in private school will be taught to us when you come back. This is equivalent to spending two cents of money, but it will I’ve taught the whole family, do you think it’s worth the money?”

Tieniu is still young and doesn't quite understand.

Hearing this, Jiang Baishu straightened his back, feeling like a little adult, and nodded solemnly.

Jiang Li warned: "Abai, your responsibilities will be very heavy in the future. Everyone in our family is counting on you to teach. You must listen carefully in class, otherwise if you teach the wrong thing later, we will tell you when we go out." Doesn’t it make people laugh out loud?”

Jiang Baishu's ears were red and he clenched his fists, "Sister, I will study hard!"

"Me too!" Tieniu followed closely.

"Mom and dad, you two are responsible for collecting the medicinal materials, as much as you can. Later I will find a book about medicinal materials for you. This way, you can collect more types of medicinal materials. This is why I want our whole family to be literate. The reason is, if we want to make money, we must be literate. If we can’t write, we must at least be able to read, don’t you think?”

Jiang Li said earnestly.

Jiang Youli and Zhao quickly nodded in agreement, "That's the truth."

Jiang Li finally looked at Mr. Jiang. The old man's face was calm, but the expectant light in his cloudy eyes showed his inner unrest.

After fleeing and being abandoned by his sons, Jiang Dacheng finally understood a truth.

It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone. If it weren't for the conscientious daughter of Lao Er's family, Lao Er's family would be lazy and they wouldn't be able to take care of themselves, let alone him.

Moreover, he has been a farmer all his life. If you want him to be idle, he will not be idle. He does not want to be a useless person.

"Grandpa, you said before that you know how to make an abacus, right?"

Jiang Li asked.

Mr. Jiang looked serious and nodded, but he was eager to give it a try.

"Everyone in our family has learned abacus from my grandfather. To do business, you must first be able to do arithmetic. Everyone has no objection to this."

Jiang Li assigned tasks to everyone.

After arranging the work, it’s time to pay everyone.

Jiang Li took out a small box and put it on the table.

Everyone's attention was attracted.

When he opened it, he could see dozens of taels of silver, folded banknotes, and more than a dozen copper plates.

Everyone's eyes lit up. It was one thing to hear Jiang Li say it, but it was another thing to actually see it.

"Everyone has worked hard this month, and I am responsible for most of the money we make, but we should also let everyone have money that they can use."
