Take Taobao to ancient times

Lu Siyu could also see the guilty conscience of the four of them, and took the initiative to collect a pile of copper coins.

"Uncle and aunt, second uncle and second aunt, the purchase price of charcoal and the sale price in the town are public. We didn't tell any lies. As for the fact that we were able to sell such a high price this time, it wasn't because of the charcoal. It's very good, but we planned well, and we didn't just pull the charcoal and buy it, and it took time to classify it, so we should earn the money." Lu Siyu was trying to find a way to reassure them of their guilt.

In fact, as far as Lu Siyu knew, the gap between scholars, farmers, businessmen, and commerce in this dynasty was not so significant, and the status of merchants was not as low as the history he had learned. In fact, merchants could have a certain voice when they reached a certain position.

It's just that for farmers, they have been selling labor all their lives. Even if they sell food, it is only a small amount. They are all hard-earned things in their own homes. It is acceptable to sell them to make a little money.

This time, the charcoal can earn more than 1000 yuan just by changing hands, which seems to be beyond the plan of the four of them, but since Lu Siyu has made up his mind to make his family better in the future, he will definitely embark on the road of doing business. Help is definitely needed, so the four must not be allowed to back down at this time.

"Xiaoyu is right, this is what we have earned hard, and we are selling it. If other people would not be able to sell it at such a high price, you don't know that there are servants in almost every household there, but it is not like us. If it wasn't for Xiaoyu, we would definitely not be able to find land, talk, and make money." The uncle said suddenly, and this old-fashioned middle-aged man was the first to figure it out.

However, as a middle-aged man, his uncle is less than 35 years old. He is still a young man in modern society, but here, he is already a grandfather.

"Okay, that's it, but we should not talk about the things we have earned so much, so as not to cause gossip. Anyway, after our reminder, everyone in the village has sold charcoal, and this year's life will be easier. Even if we A little better life will not cause suspicion." The auntie is in good spirits.

"That's right, we also took the initiative to tell everyone about the way of selling charcoal. It is right to earn this little money." The second aunt said with a smile. She was selfish and didn't want to say it before, but she was reprimanded by the second uncle. I was still holding my breath in my heart, but now I saw that I could still make so much money after I said it, I immediately became excited, and my mood value gradually increased.

The second uncle sat on the side and nodded silently. When the people in the village are having a hard time, it’s always uncomfortable for them to feel better. Now that the villagers are getting better too, he doesn’t have anything to worry about. It would be nice if his family can save more money. .

"Since everyone agrees, this matter is settled like this. Don't disclose the price of charcoal we sell in the county, just know it yourself. As for the money, today's profit will be divided into three parts, one for my family and one for the second child's family. One, Xiaohan one."

"I don't need it." Lu Siyu said quickly.

The uncle looked up at him: "You have to take it this time. It was also your suggestion before. The charcoal sold was from our own family, so we didn't give you too much. But this time, we can make money only because of you. So you have to take the money, in fact, if not... you should take more."

The unfinished voice in the words is naturally because of poverty. There is no wealth in the countryside, and everyone is poor, but it will not be nice to say this.

Uncle Lu wanted to give more, but thinking of the children in his own family and the children in the womb of the eldest daughter-in-law, he still gritted his teeth and divided them into three shares. At worst, he would take care of the four children of the third eldest family in the future.

Lu Siyu saw the embarrassment of his uncle, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't be embarrassed. Although I made the attention this time, if there is no uncle, aunt, and aunt, I can't do it alone. Who can say that manual work is not work? Isn’t everyone doing hard work? This time, according to what my uncle said, they will be divided into three parts. However, I have already taken fifty coins before, so the rest I How about taking another three hundred Wen, and the rest will be divided between the uncle's family and the second uncle's family?"

"This... isn't it a loss for you?" The second aunt spoke quickly, and blurted out directly, regardless of the fact that it was her own family who took advantage this time.

"Nothing," Lu Siyu shook his head with a smile, "Didn't the second aunt say that I am good at studying and have great ideas, this time selling charcoal is just one item, and we can think of many businesses in the future, and, in fact, I also have one thing to ask Uncle and Uncle help."

"If you have anything to say, just tell me, if there is anything you can't help." The second uncle said quickly, he also felt that they took advantage of this matter, so he couldn't wait to help Lu Siyu, even if it was just for a while A little bit is fine, anyway, I feel better.

"That's right," Lu Siyu said hastily, "My parents passed away accidentally before, and I was also seriously ill. I didn't have time to think about it. Think about it first. My younger siblings are still young, and I am relatively weak. I am afraid that the fields at home will not be taken care of. , so next spring, I'm afraid I will ask my uncle and second uncle for help."

"On this matter, even if you don't tell us about this matter, we will definitely help, but this matter..." The uncle hesitated a little, but still felt that he had taken advantage of it.

Lu Siyu quickly waved his hand: "Uncle, this is what we should be most concerned about. If there is no help from Uncle and Second Uncle, the family's field may be abandoned, and we will not be able to pay taxes in the coming year."

When Lu's father was around, he was exempt from taxes because he was a scholar, but now that Lu's father passed away, their family no longer had the preferential policy of tax exemption, so naturally they had to pay taxes like everyone else.

"I almost forgot about this, Xiaoyu, don't worry, we will take good care of your field." The second uncle patted his chest as a promise.

Probably because of the contribution, the four of them made more money in this charcoal sale incident, and felt much better.

Lu Siyu nodded. He himself was not willing to do farm work. After all, farm work was much harder than many people imagined. In addition, although the original owner lived in the countryside, he didn't usually do farm work very much, and his body was weak. It is almost impossible for him to do farm work.

This way didn't work, so Lu Siyu had no choice but to find a way to choose something that could use his brain to work, such as coming up with an idea to sell charcoal, and he could earn some money.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. I guess it won't be too cold in about ten days at most. Are we still selling this charcoal?" Uncle asked suddenly.

"Sell," Lu Siyu nodded immediately, "not only sell, but sell quickly."

"Ah, what does this mean?" The uncle was a little at a loss.

"Our climate here is not particularly cold. The heavy snow this time disrupted many people's plans, but not only us, but other people must also try to solve this dilemma, especially the road, which will be the fastest and smooth , once a professional charcoal source is opened, there will be no market for our charcoal, so we'd better sell the charcoal within these two days, the sooner the better." Lu Siyu said seriously, the quality of their charcoal varies. Qi, definitely not as good as a professional one, so he earns quick money. After passing this village, there is no such shop.

"Then what should we do?" The uncle suddenly felt a little nervous, as if trying to grab money by every means, fighting for every minute and every second.

"Is there another bullock cart at the village chief's place?" Lu Siyu asked.

"Yes." The uncle nodded dumbly.

"Ask the village chief to rent it. Tomorrow, the uncle and the second uncle will each drive an ox cart to take out the goods that the uncle and the second uncle received today, and then come back in the afternoon. This is equivalent to transporting four times. I will follow Let's go together, the county is not small, not only the residential area today, but according to today's progress, there should be a lot of sales." Lu Siyu said firmly.

"What about us?" the aunt asked.

"The auntie and the second auntie continue to collect the charcoal. They have to divide the charcoal at noon tomorrow morning. If it's too late, you can find some children to share it. If you give a penny in the morning, it's like playing. Some people should be willing to come." Lu Siyu said hesitantly.

"This is feasible. For a penny in the morning, there will definitely be many children willing to come." The auntie said enthusiastically, very interested in Lu Siyu's proposal.

"I estimate that our business can only last for two or three days at most, so the uncle and the second wife should not collect too much charcoal, lest the charcoal will be overwhelmed in our hands and cannot be sold." Lu Siyu urged, doing business In fact, the circulation process is relatively profitable, but I am afraid that the goods will be overstocked, and no matter how much I earn before the goods are overstocked, it may be in vain.

"Remember, you can't sell goods." The aunt said seriously, feeling that she had learned a new word.

"That's right, you must not underestimate the goods, or you will suffer a lot." The second aunt also nodded immediately, applying what she learned.

After finishing what was to be said, Lu Siyu took the three little ones home, and by the way, he did not forget to bring the package he had brought back.

The package hadn't been opened much since he brought it back. It wasn't that the children were curious, but they didn't dare to open it.

After arriving home, Lu Siyu took it out, but actually took it out from the Taobao warehouse. When he took his hand out of the package, three small transparent stones appeared in the palm of his hand.

"What is this?" Lu Siyue looked curiously at the thing in Lu Siyu's hand.

"This is rock candy, one for each person," Lu Siyu smiled, "Because the three of you are very sensible today, I specially give it to you as a gift."

"Bingtang?" Lu Siyue looked at Lu Siyu suddenly, "Is it candy? Can I eat it?"

"Of course," Lu Siyu nodded, "Take one each, and go to bed after eating, brother will go to the county tomorrow, you have to be obedient, do you know?"

"I know, I know," Lu Siyue said excitedly, but took Lu Siyu's hand and placed it in front of the two little ones, "Hurry up, take one each, and eat slowly."

Lu Siyun immediately took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and after a while he showed a happy expression: "Wow, it's so sweet~~"

Lu Sile hesitated. In his eyes, the color of this rock candy was very similar to the color of the ice cream before. Thinking of the cold touch before, he was a little afraid to make a move.

However, Lu Siyue didn't give him a chance to hesitate, she directly stuffed the rock sugar into his mouth, and stuffed the remaining one into his mouth.

"It really smells like sugar, so sweet~~"

Lu Siyu looked at them and couldn't help smiling. Rock sugar is not expensive in modern times, only 26 yuan for five catties. He bought five catties and put them in the warehouse, but he only dared to take out some. After all, sugar in ancient times was relatively rare. Taking too much arouses suspicion.

"Lele eat slowly, don't choke."

"Yeah." Lu Sile nodded hastily, his mouth didn't feel cold, but he got used to it quickly and ate happily.

There was a slight smile on Lu Siyu's face, and he felt a little helpless. These things are really cheap in modern times, but they have become luxury goods here.

But let's take it slowly, the road has to be walked step by step, and their lives will definitely get better and better.
