The orphanage was not far from the county government. After lunch and a short rest, Huang Xiancheng and his wife left. Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi also planned to take Zhao Zhuxin home.

Qianhe asked Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi for Zhao Qiusheng before they left, "Master, master husband, there are more than ten children over ten years old in the yard, and there is nothing else to do except literacy, but in order to take care of most of them They don’t know many words every day. If they are left idle, they may learn badly. Can the master find something for them to do, or the master said before that he would invite skilled masters to teach these children, can you? Invite people in advance."

Zhao Shutong has never managed an orphanage, but he also knows that people's needs are constantly improving.When you are poor, you may only think that a bowl of hot soup and rice is enough. When you are satisfied with food and clothing, you will no longer be satisfied with eating and drinking every day, and you will want to improve yourself and live a better life.

Some children who are older but have no serious errands and studies to drain their energy are easy to go astray, especially when they are surrounded by weaker children, it is easier to pass on their inner anxiety by bullying the weak.It may be more difficult to lead a bully into the right direction after having tasted the benefits of bullying.

Zhao Qiusheng can think of these things, and knows how to stabilize these restless elements, he is indeed a very smart boy.Moreover, if they can really arrange work and errands for these children now, with such a carrot hanging in front of them when they see the money, maybe this temporary orphanage will be more harmonious and the children will be more motivated.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shutong glanced at Qianhe.

In front of Zhao Qiusheng, Qianhe looked solid.

Let Qianhe come here to help take care of these children, so as to prevent someone from mistreating these children.It doesn't matter if he is careful or not, but from the long and short Xiao Qiu's voice in his mouth, it can be known that he has been coaxed by a 12-year-old child.

"I will take this matter to heart. After a while, I will let Zhao Gui come to you. You tell Zhao Qiusheng that if you have any ideas in the future, let him come to me by himself, and you don't need to convey it through you." Zhao Shutong said, Qianhe is stupid, rather than letting him be a middleman, it is better to let Zhao Qiusheng come to find him.

This person is really interesting. He dared to challenge him a few days ago, but now he dare not stand up when encountering things.

Seeing that the master agreed, Qianhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Qiusheng came to tell him before that the older children in the orphanage wanted to go out to work and earn money earlier, and they couldn't learn from books in the orphanage, and they didn't get together to play with others.After a long time, I was afraid that they would learn bad things, go out to steal chickens and dogs, or bully children, so I asked him if he could urge the county magistrate to invite the master who taught the craft as soon as possible.

When Qianhe heard Zhao Qiusheng asking him to urge Zhao Shutong, she was immediately frightened.

He didn't dare to urge their master even though he had gained ten courage.The master of their family avoids suspicion a bit too much, except for the master husband, he speaks honestly to the maids, brothers and servants in the mansion.Qian He is actually a little afraid of his master.

But what Xiao Qiusheng said was pitiful, he and his younger brother were both taken in by the master, and the master asked him to do things, he felt that he had not done well, so he did not dare to ask the master for help.But he was also for these orphans, for the comfort of the orphanage, Qianhe couldn't help but agree with him.Just now when he asked Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi, Qianhe had already mustered all his strength for the rest of his life.

"Brother Qianhe, you said that the county magistrate promised to invite the masters who will teach the children crafts in advance." After Zhao Shutong and the others left, Zhao Qiusheng came to Qianhe, pleasantly surprised.

"Well, but the master didn't say that he would arrange for these children to learn what to do." Qian He said.

"The county magistrate's arrangement must be very appropriate." Zhao Qiusheng said with admiration, but at the same time he was a little complicated. He just wanted to test whether the county magistrate's original promise was true through Qianhe brother. The county magistrate is too good at speaking. It was because the county magistrate spoke so nicely that he excitedly agreed to help the county magistrate, but he still wondered in his heart whether this was a way for the county magistrate to gain fame, whether these orphans were his pawns to gain fame, Unexpectedly, the county magistrate really wanted to arrange a way out for these children.

The county magistrate would tell lies to others, but there is no need to tell his servants.

"The master said, you can go to him directly if you need something. The master entrusted so many children to you to teach, and he must have believed in you. Our master is a good man and treats his subordinates very well. Don't be afraid." Persuading Zhao Qiusheng is more guilty, he is afraid of Zhao Shutong himself, he really doesn't have the confidence to persuade others not to be afraid

"Brother Qianhe, I understand, I will not disappoint the county magistrate's expectations of me." Zhao Qiu said.

Back at the mansion, Pei Qi asked Zhao Shutong, "Husband, how do you plan to help them?"

"After the new year, let Zhao Gui buy some wool and come back, let them spin wool for the time being, girls and brothers can learn to knit sweaters and scarves." Zhao Shutong said.

"Then let's spin the wool. Our shop can collect the things they make. When the time comes, every child who works will pay them wages. They will be very happy." Pei Qi said excitedly. He also feels very happy to help these children.

"Our family, Qiqi, is really kind. I can marry Qiqi. Little Sweet Potato must be lucky to have a mother like you in several lifetimes." Zhao Shutong praised.

"I learned everything from my husband." Pei Qi said shyly, with Zhao Shutong leading the way, and he seemed to be able to be a good person by paying the money in the back.

It seems easy to be a kind person.

When Zhao Shutong calmed down the rise in food prices at the end of the year, Pei Qi met Butler Pei who came from the Shangshu Mansion in the capital to give him a New Year's gift.

Steward Pei sent Pei Qi an annual gift from Shangshu Mansion and a letter from Mrs. Shangshu.

The letter wrote some family affairs, and this year's share of the wool shop. Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi were not in the capital, and Mrs. Shangshu sealed up this year's share for them.Pei Qi was a little dumbfounded when he saw the huge number on the letter.

When Zhao Shutong came back at night, Pei Qi threw himself into Zhao Shutong's arms and said excitedly, "Husband, we are rich."

Zhao Shutong stopped him by the waist, "Why did you get rich? How much money can make you so happy, Xiqi?"

Pei Qi stuffed the letter to Zhao Shutong, "The wool shop has made a lot of money. Last year, we had a dividend of 25 taels, 25 taels." His bottom line was only 10 taels.

Pei Qi had only been in charge of a small part of the wool shop's business. He didn't even know that the wool shop was so profitable. He made a fortune in one year.

Zhao Shutong was not surprised.

Their wool is well treated and can be worn in spring, autumn and winter.The items are divided into grades and the prices are set at a reasonable price. Whether you are a wealthy businessman or an ordinary person, you can buy wool products suitable for them to keep out the cold.Orders from the Qiang people accounted for a large proportion, and it is not an exaggeration to earn one million taels of silver a year.

It's just, "Qiqi, our wool business won't last long."

"I see." Pei Qi said, thumping twice in Zhao Shutong's arms.

"Hey, don't you ask why?"

"If we had our own business, we would definitely be able to do it. But there is still the stingy emperor involved in it. How could he be willing to give us so much money." Pei Qi said.

"Speak out loud, if you talk nonsense again, I dare not take our family back to the capital."

"I know I know."

"Next year I will find a suitable opportunity to sell the share of our wool shop. I think my father-in-law thinks the same way. One million taels of silver is already a year's tax in a wealthy province. Let's accept it as soon as we see it. " Zhao Shutong said.

Pei Qi has never been short of money since he was a child, and he is open-minded about it, "Well, without the wool business, we can open a sugar shop and make money."

"Corn candy, you will have to hand it in in the future, right?" Pei Qi suddenly thought of this possibility, and looked at Zhao Shutong warily.

Although he doesn't care much about doing business, my husband said before that all these businesses are given to him to make money.If you do one and pay the other, Pei Qi decided to go on strike, no matter what anyone said, he would not do it.

"No, Daqi is so big, our sugar can be sold in several places. Wool is different. Now the court is gradually realizing that wool is inextricably linked with the Qiang people. Wool products are so profitable that only the court can sell them. Supervision can no longer be in the hands of officials." Zhao Shutong said.

"Well, let's do it like this. Husband, how should I spend so much money." Although the profitable wool business is about to take off, Pei Qi is very excited to get so much dividends.

"You can spend it however you want."

"Then I'm going to spend all your money."

"This is all your money." Zhao Shutong said helplessly.

"Let's save some of it. Buy a house for Xiao Sweet Potato in the capital, and let him live there when he gets married." Pei Qi said before that the children were separated when they got married, and they never forgot.

Zhao Zhuxin, who was sleeping soundly, had no idea that his mother had been thinking that when he got married, he would let him take his wife and children out to live alone.

Zhao Shutong wrote a reply letter and asked Steward Pei to bring it to Pei Shangshu.

When the imperial envoy left a few days ago, they asked the people in the imperial envoy team to take back the New Year's goods they prepared for the capital, and they were probably still on the way at this time.Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi bought some local specialties such as jujubes and asked Steward Pei to take them back with them.
