Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

The bead nucleus implantation work lasted for several days, and it was finally completed with the efforts of several people.Since there is no better tool for raising shellfish, the mother shellfish is placed in a bamboo cage, loaded with stones, and sunk into the sea area designated by the government.Bamboo cages are prone to decay, so they must be salvaged and inspected every year.

Although it is in a sea area where fishing is prohibited by the government, the cultured shells still have the risk of being discovered and secretly salvaged. Losses are inevitable, but excluding losses, as long as the pearls can survive, the pearl production rate is also very impressive.

After this time, Xiao Yu has gained experience, and he will never do so much at once again in the future. He is too tired, his eyes are almost blind, and his fingers are jumping nervously for the next few days. count.In the future, getting a few hundred at a time will be very considerable, and it will be enough to pay tribute.

Even if the surplus is circulated on the market, the quantity must be controlled.The reason why luxury goods are extravagant is because the quantity is small, and things are vaguely expensive.

This afternoon, Xiao Yu finished his lessons for the children, packed up his things, and was about to go to the brick yard to have a look, but someone stopped him: "Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."

Xiao Yu turned around and saw Min Chong standing behind him, with an unnatural expression on his face, he seldom took the initiative to talk to himself, Xiao Yu stopped: "Is Master Min in trouble?"

Min Chong asked: "When do you plan to go to sea?" He didn't seem to intend to address Xiao Yu, but called you directly every time.

Xiao Yu said: "It's still early to go to sea. I don't have all the things ready, and I don't have the manpower. Master Min's body still needs to be recuperated."

Min Chong said, "Can you allow me to leave for a while?"

"Where are you going?" This is a big deal. Although he decided to cooperate with Min Chong, he didn't make preparations. He dared not let him go. If he never returned, he would return home. He and Min Chong Rin is in big trouble.

Min Chong hesitated for a moment: "I used to regularly deliver food to some old people and orphans who had nowhere to go. Now I haven't gone back for more than a month. I'm a little worried. I have to go back and have a look."

Xiao Yu was a little surprised. He thought he was going home to take a look, but he didn't expect that he was going to visit the sheltered people.He didn't answer him directly, but asked, "After you go back and look at it, what are your plans? Do those old people and children have the ability to survive?"

Min Chong shook his head: "They used to beg for a living. I found a place for them to stay and gave them food regularly. Now that I haven't gone back for a long time, I'm afraid they will have to beg again."

Xiao Yu frowned, this is indeed a big problem: "I will prepare some food for you later, you can take it back to see them."

Min Chong raised his eyes and looked at him in surprise: "Why do you help me?"

"It's not helping you, it's helping the homeless." Xiao Yu put his hands behind his back and went out.

Ji Hai hurriedly followed, Pei Lin was out hunting, and Ji Hai's task was to protect Xiao Yu, which was instructed by his master.Ji Hai asked with some doubts: "Lang Jun, are you really going to let him go?"

Xiao Yu said: "To subdue a person, the most important thing is to convince him sincerely, not to force him to stay, otherwise he won't stay for long."

Ji Hai thought about it thoughtfully: "Mr. Lang is justified. Sooner or later, Master Min will be completely convinced by Mr. Lang." He believes that Mr. Lang has this ability, and the person he admires most is Mr. Lang. In his heart, Mr. Lang Apart from not knowing martial arts, Jun is better than Master in everything else, of course he dare not say this.

Xiao Yu walked out of the yard and passed by the yellowed rice fields. He remembered that there was not much food at home, and the rice would take at least half a month to harvest, so he had to buy some food.

Xiao Yu thought about it in his heart. Although the income of the paper workshop has never stopped, and the lime kiln also has some income, but the family's expenses are also high. A few days ago, it cost a lot of money to buy shells. To make porcelain, so many people are hired, and money is needed everywhere.The purchase of food costs a lot of money. It is really costly, and there is no way to save money. You have to go to sea to do business in order to make a lot of money.

Xiao Yu went to the brick yard first, where the master workers were making mud and mud, and the adobe maker was making adobe, joking and working at the same time, the scene was quite relaxed.The progress of the work is not slow, and in two days, the work should be over, and then it is time to wait for the bricks to dry before going to the kiln.

After visiting the brick yard and lime kiln, he went to the paper mill.The paper workshop was bustling with excitement, Xiao Yu just arrived at the door when Erlang saw him, he said excitedly: "Lang Jun, look quickly, this is my brother's new paper, do you think it is good?"

Hearing his younger brother's words, Wu Jia Dalang turned around quickly and walked towards Xiao Yu on crutches: "Look, sir, this is a new batch of paper." His legs were still limping a little.

Xiao Yu could clearly see the paper in Da Lang's hand. Different from the yellow-brown paper in the past, the color of this paper was very light, almost white, and it had a slight luster. It was smoother than the previous paper. Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and touched it: "Is this paper made by Da Lang? What is it made of?"

Dalang laughed: "I changed to a different kind of bark. After the bark was boiled with lime, I rinsed it in the stream for a few days, took it up to expose it to the sun, then soaked it softly, washed it repeatedly, and made it into pulp. Added a kind of white vine juice, and then made it like this. What do you think of this paper, sir?"

Xiao Yu said, "It looks good, bring a pen and ink, and I'll try the effect."

Immediately, someone brought up the pen and ink of the test paper. Xiao Yu dipped it into the ink and wrote the character "Xiao". Dalang, how many did you make in this batch?"

Hearing his comment, Da Lang was so excited that his hands were shaking: "Tengzhi is a bit short, and this batch has only made less than [-] sheets."

Xiao Yu said: "The output is not high, right? But it doesn't matter, you just do it slowly, and don't rush to mass-produce it. The price of this paper is several times more expensive than the other ones. I plan to price this one at two yuan."

Everyone was amazed, what is the concept of selling two articles for a piece of paper?A liter of rice is less than two pennies.

Xiao Yu said: "Da Lang, you can make this paper a little bigger, you can make two more types, and I will give you the size later." This kind of paper can be used as drawing paper. , are all famous families, all rich masters, let alone Zhang Mai.

Xiao Yu happily held Dalang's new paper, and immediately announced loudly: "Dalang has the courage to innovate and has produced high-quality paper. From this month, his wages will be doubled."

As soon as the news was announced, all the apprentices present looked at Da Lang with envy. Da Lang's salary was originally higher than theirs, but now that it doubled, it was ridiculously high, isn't it enviable.

While Wu Xingyi was happy for his son, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can't force it. This is all our duty, so we don't need extra money."

Da Lang also waved his hand and refused: "Mr. Lang, I don't need to process money, as long as Mr. Lang thinks the paper is good. I will redouble my efforts to make better paper in the future."

Xiao Yu waved his hands with a smile: "There is no need to discuss this matter again. From now on, our paper factory will be like this. Those who perform well will be rewarded. If they can make better paper, they will increase the money as appropriate." The reward mechanism is like this Use, there will be innovation if there are rewards.

Xiao Yu took the stack of papers and walked home cheerfully. Ji Hai followed him: "Mr. Sir, can this paper really sell for two yuan? Who would buy it?"

Xiao Yu said: "Some people buy it. Rich people are willing to buy even twenty coins, let alone two."

"So rich." Ji Hai was speechless. He thought that Mr. Lang was rich, but he didn't expect that there were richer people.

Xiao Yu said: "When you grow up and go to many places, you will know how extravagant the rich people are in this world. There are not enough wine pools and meat forests."

"How can they be so rich?" Ji Hai asked.

"How come?" Xiao Yu repeated, saying, "Some people have completed the initial accumulation through their own intelligence and hard work. For example, in farming, he has great strength and is willing to endure hardships. After selling the grain, he went to buy land. Gradually, there was more land, and he could hire people to cultivate the land. He only collected rent, and the money he got from the rent was used to buy shops and open shops. It just rolled down like a snowball. became rich."

"There are also some people who rely on military exploits and talents. This kind of wealth obtained by hard work, bravery and wisdom is still legitimate. More people use their power to occupy favorable resources and become rich. For example, someone in a family is an official, and his family can obtain a license from the government to sell salt and iron, so that he can easily make huge profits, and even become wealthy." Xiao Yu said.

Ji Hai frowned: "Isn't this the collusion between officials and businessmen that Mr. Lang said?"

"Yes, collusion between officials and businessmen has been the norm since ancient times. Money and power are always tied together. With power, it is too easy to get money. With money, you will find ways to cling to the powerful to protect your money. "Xiao Yu said.

Ji Hai said: "That money and power are not good things."

Xiao Yu smiled and squinted at him: "Why is it not a good thing? No, why are so many people still fighting?"

"But Mr. Lang said that the wealth obtained through collusion between officials and businessmen is illegal. So it's not a good thing."

Xiao Yu was surprised that his logic was still on the line: "Yes, the wealth obtained by the collusion of money and power is of course not good. But money and power are still good things. As long as they are used positively, they can completely benefit the people, so that the people will not suffer from hunger, cold, etc. , the suffering of disease."

Ji Hai said: "I remembered, Mr. Lang said that power is only good if it is in the hands of good people. For example, it should be in the hands of someone like Mr. Lang."

Xiao Yu raised his head and laughed loudly: "I don't want any power."

"Doesn't Mr. Lang want to work for the welfare of the people?" Ji Hai asked.

Xiao Yu turned his head to look at Ji Hai, this boy's question was quite sharp: "I don't want any power, being a rich man can help some poor people. But you can fight for it, and I'll be a good teacher." The person he admired most in his life was the teacher.

Ji Hai drooped his head: "Lang Jun doesn't want it, and I don't want it either."

Xiao Yu smiled, and didn't entangle him with this issue. He is still young, and when he grows up in the future, he will naturally figure out what he wants.But even if you want power, it’s not easy. In this era where there are so many powerful families, the low-level children like Ji Hai are not even considered poor, and there is no way for them to rise. The only thing they can rely on is probably military exploits. .

But it's hard to say, this era is so chaotic, and heroes emerge in troubled times, maybe there will be some opportunities to make contributions in the future. I hope that at that time, he can still maintain his original intention and not become the kind of person he once hated.

Before entering the village, he heard the sound of horseshoes behind him, Xiao Yu was overjoyed, and when he looked back, it was indeed Pei Linzhi who had returned: "Rinzhi."

"Master!" Ji Hai looked at the master who was riding a tall horse, and suddenly showed a look of surprise. The master is really good at riding a horse. It would be great if he could teach him to ride a horse sometime.

Pei Linzhi drove his horse to their side and stopped: "Lang Jun, where have you been?"

Xiao Yu raised the paper in his hand: "Go to the paper workshop, Da Lang made good paper."

"That's a good thing. Mr. Lang, get on the horse, and I'll take you back." Pei Linzhi bent down and stretched out his hand towards Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked at the girdle hanging on the horse behind him, and said, "I can't sit on the horse, I'll just walk back, it's not far away."

Pei Linzhi took off the bag containing the prey behind him, and threw it to Ji Hai: "Ji Hai follows, take it back."

Ji Hai hurriedly caught the heavy prey: "Yes, Master."

Pei Linzhi stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Yu, letting him sit in front of him.

Xiao Yu: "..." He said, "Shouldn't I sit in the back?" Sitting in his arms felt weird.

Pei Linzhi took out a little fluffy thing from his arms, and put it into Xiao Yu's arms: "Young Lord, take it."

Xiao Yu lowered his head and looked at Fluffy in his arms. This, is this a kitten?No, this pattern looks like a leopard cat, a wild animal: "How did you bring it back?"

Pei Linzhi pinched the horse's belly with his legs and said: "While hunting, I saw a big cat biting some kittens. When I came, the big cat ran away. Only this one was left alive. I brought it back. .I don’t know if I can support it, it seems that I haven’t been weaned yet.”

Xiao Yu looked at it, and it was indeed a little leopard cat that hadn't opened its eyes yet. He thought for a while, "Probably the tom cat fought for territory and killed the cub of the previous tom cat. Since there is such a fate, we will raise it." Well, I don’t know if it can survive. It’s not weaned, so what should I feed? Can rice soup work?”

Pei Linzhi said: "Go back and ask if there is a bitch or cat who has a litter."

"it is good."

Xiao Yu told Pei Linzhi about Min Chong's desire to go back, and Pei Linzhi asked, "Have you promised him?"

Xiao Yu said: "Well, I promised him to go back, and I plan to send him some food, so you can accompany him back later?"

Pei Linzhi frowned: "But I don't worry that Mr. Lang is at home alone."

"Isn't there Ji Hai?"

"Ji Hai is still young, and he has only practiced martial arts for a few months. His kung fu is too rough. It's okay to follow you at home during the day, but not at night. I don't worry." Pei Linzhi said.

"Then I'll go with you, and take a look at those people Min Chong rescued?" Xiao Yu said.

Pei Linzhi said, "That's fine."

When they got home, Xiao Yu asked Ji Hai and Yu Er to find out who the bitch and the cat had given birth to, so that the little milk cat could drink milk. Ji Hai said: "In the village, only the Lizheng family has a dog, and it seems to be a male dog." .The mother cat didn’t hear about it”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't seen much of a dog, most likely because he couldn't fill his own stomach and couldn't afford a dog: "Then what should I do? Rinzhi, can you find a sheep that has just given birth?"

The lady of the Meng family happened to come to discuss the experience of raising silkworms with the lady of the Wu family. When she saw the kitten in Xiao Yu's arms, she said, "Where did you find this kitten, sir? Is it still not weaned?" Xiao Yu He shared some of the silkworm eggs he brought back with her and asked her to raise them too, and then bought silkworm cocoons from her.

Xiao Yu said: "The wild cat that Linzhi picked up from the mountain is not weaned, I don't know where to find the milk."

The lady of Meng's family said: "Go to Erniu's house and ask. His cow just gave birth to a calf a few days ago, so there should be milk."

Xiao Yu was overjoyed: "Thank you for the reminder, Mrs. Meng, Ji Hai, take a basin and go to Er Niu's house to ask for some milk for the kitten to drink."

Ji Hai took the bowl and stopped again: "Mr., how do you get the milk?"

Xiao Yu said, "Squeeze."

Ji Hai thought about the scene, blushed, and was embarrassed to go, the lady of the Meng family laughed: "Xiao Hai is sorry, I will ask for it for you."

Xiao Yu said: "Then I'll go by myself. It's not enough once or twice. At least I have to wait until the kitten is weaned." I can't bother her every time.

Pei Linzhi tied up the horse, fed the fodder, and said, "Lang Jun, let me go."

Xiao Yu guessed that he would not be able to milk the cow, so he said, "Let's go together." The cow probably wouldn't just stand there obediently and let it be milked, so it would be safer for Pei Linzhi to go.

So Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi went to Erniu's house to beg for milk. Erniu was also their student, the kind who came to attend classes at night. Hearing that the two gentlemen wanted milk, how could they not agree, and took the initiative to lure them to the cowshed, Afraid of soiling their feet, he thoughtfully led the cow out.

Er Niu said: "Xiao Langjun, I have never milked a cow, how can I milk it?"

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu: "I'll do it." There was an imperceptible blush on his face.

Xiao Yu said with a smile, "I'll do it." Although he had never milked a cow, he had seen it, and he didn't think Pei Linzhi could do it.

Pei Linzhi felt a little offended: "Let me do it, sir."

Xiao Yu said: "Stand aside and watch for me, lest this bull lose his temper and kick people."

After hearing what he said, Pei Linzhi stopped arguing.Standing next to Xiao Yu and watching him milk the cow, Xiao Yu tried it, but at first he couldn't squeeze it out, the cow was so painful that it moved irritably, Er Niu hurriedly comforted the cow's head, Pei Linzhi stretched out his hand nervously, In order to prevent the corbel from kicking up.

Xiao Yu recalled what he saw on TV, and tried a few more times, and this time the milk came out smoothly, Pei Linzhi's face beamed with joy, "Yes."

Xiao Yu smiled and squeezed a bowl of milk: "That's enough, I'll come back tomorrow. Thank you Er Niu and your cow." Later, I will send some soybeans to supplement the cow, so as to stimulate milk.

On the way back, Pei Linzhi held the wooden basin, looked at the milky white juice in the basin, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to know how to do this."

It's really hard for Xiao Yu to explain this time, because it's impossible to write this in the book, and it's impossible for him to see a woman breastfeeding, so he said: "Try a little bit, and you will do it too."

Pei Linzhi blushed, he was really embarrassed to milk the cow.

The little milk cat finally drank milk, and drank a lot for the first time, and seemed very hungry.Xiao Yu found a bamboo stick, wrapped it with a ball of wool, and stimulated the kitten to defecate.

The corners of Pei Linzhi's mouth twitched, feeling that it was amazing, his Highness knew even this.However, he also felt that such a highness is really too gentle, as if a layer of soft light enveloped him, making it impossible to move one's eyes away.
