Ancient Fortune Records

The merchants and farmers in Jizhou ushered in the peak period of income, and merchants from all over the country shuttled in the streets and alleys in an endless stream, and any novelty commodities were quite popular among those merchants.In particular, some unique local desserts, handicrafts, and embroidery that are suitable for long-distance transportation are particularly popular.

When there are more vendors, the inn will be full.Many flexible families will rent out their spare rooms at a low price, and pay the daily rental fee, so that the merchants will rent without any worries.

Some merchants are lucky to live in cement houses. The walls of the cement houses are painted white, and the floor is covered with wooden floors. There are wardrobes, desks, dining tables, chairs, and sofas. They are clean and tidy, and the space is large. The facilities inside are all available.What's even more amazing is that people who live here don't need to empty the chamber pot when they wake up early, because there is a toilet in the house, which is different from the dry toilets of ordinary farmers. It is very clean and has almost no peculiar smell. After using the toilet, just flush it with water. Very convenient.

The merchants praised the cement house they lived in, "It's so strong, it seems that the earthquake can't make this kind of house shake."

"It's very easy to clean. There is no balcony in my room. There are some flowers and plants on the balcony, which is very pleasing to the eye."

"Let's go to the sofa and take it home? This sofa, when I lie on it, I feel that my bones are going to be crispy. It's so comfortable!"

"More than just this sofa? I think the swing rocking chair painted milky white in the courtyard is very good. People sit on this swing rocking chair, and then lean on the backrest, swinging slowly in the shadow of flowers, blowing the cool breeze, smelling The fragrance of flowers is simply a great pleasure in the world!"

"Hahaha, you will still enjoy it!"

While talking and laughing with several merchants, they brought a valuable order to the furniture workshop in Youzhou.The orders were like snowflakes, flying to the homes of various local traders, and the workshop had to ask the craftsmen to work overtime.At this time, no one resisted working overtime. They only felt that there were very few opportunities to earn double or even triple wages, and everyone was happy to work overtime.

Lu Yi even learned a few dialects from Shen Yan, and in the past few days, he helped a few out-of-town traders and negotiated business with local workshop owners, earning a lot of money as rewards.Later, seeing that he was doing a good job, those merchants took the initiative to buy the goods that Lu Yi had hoarded directly, and asked him to follow them without any worries, as a translator and guide, and discuss business together.The merchants are very happy, because although some local craftsmen are very skilled, they are unwilling to do business with them because of the language barrier and they can’t trust foreigners. , When people from different places get along, it seems that the old gears are lubricated and run in very smoothly.

The Lu family also benefited a lot from this, because Lu Yi deliberately lured these vendors who were going to buy some grain, vegetables, or cotton to Qishan Village where his parents and uncle and aunt lived, and sold the old and new grains at home, as well as cotton. Even the cotton spun by the female relatives of the family was purchased and taken away.

Father Lu looked at the twelve hanging coins in his hand in disbelief. When did it become so easy to make money?

Lu Yi's mother looked at the family, and couldn't help but pinch herself, "This much money is enough for our family until next year." In fact, their family still has peppers and corn that haven't grown yet, and when the peppers are harvested , It is another sum of money entered into the account, needless to say corn, someone will come to buy it naturally.

Father Lu took a breath, "Hey, life is really easy for our family! Who would have known that three months ago, our family couldn't even have enough to eat?"

Lu Yi's mother said, "Head of the house, don't sigh, our daughter's family still has food and cloth not to sell, hurry up and ask Lu Yi for help, our uncle will treat our daughter better because of Lu Yi's ability. "

Dad Lu said, "Okay, okay. I'll go and talk to Lu Yi right now. Back then, his sister married the widower and became a stepmother for him because of him, and for the ten taels of silver. He must not forget his roots. "

"Lu Yi is a sensible person. Once you say it, you will definitely not forget your instruction. Go and say it."

Seeing his father coming over to talk to him, Lu Yi knew what his father was going to say. After all, this is a family matter, so it is not easy for others to hear, so he immediately said, "Dad, don't worry, I will call me in the morning The daughter-in-law and eldest son, with another team, went to Xinghua Village to collect the local products of my sister's family. This year, my sister's salted duck eggs and ducks are selling very well. This year, my sister and brother-in-law's income will definitely not Low—you can rest assured!"

As for whether his brother-in-law would bully his sister, he didn't think so.First of all, in the past few months, he has been promising, selling goods and acting as a middleman for merchants, and he has already earned more than 50 taels.Some wealthy businessmen who spend a lot of money pay five taels or even eight taels of money when they make a move. After discussing with his wife at home, he wrapped up 15 taels of silver and sent it to his sister. That's okay, anyway, let his sister accept it.

The brother-in-law probably saw what he meant, and after drinking for three rounds, he swore to him, "Little brother-in-law! Your sister, marry me, and I will definitely treat her well! It's not easy for her! Two stepdaughters , a parent-child, she is busy at home and abroad, and if I don’t treat her well, then who am I? Then I really will die! When my mother was alive, I did treat her badly, but I also Comfort her and make up for her. The whole family can live a happy life through stumbles, and now that the family is getting richer, it will only be better than before!"

Lu nodded, "My sister and brother-in-law saved my life at the beginning. Only when you are well can I be well."

In this way, the relationship between the two families has become better.

Hearing what Lu Yi said, Father Lu immediately felt relieved.

Not only Lu Yi's family, but now the lives of farmers have undergone earth-shaking changes.The traders and craftsmen in the town have made a lot of money, and they are getting more and more ruthless about spending money.The chickens, ducks and geese raised by farmers are in short supply now, and the price keeps rising.When the common people live well and are willing to eat and wear, they will naturally realize the circulation of wealth, and the tax of a local government will also rise.

And those vendors who brought toothpaste and soap from other places also felt the purchasing power of the people in Youzhou.Shen Li also built a soap shop locally, but the output could not meet the needs of the local people.Soap is in short supply. Some families with a little money like to stock up on soap, because they are afraid that they will not be able to buy it when they need it. Besides, soap is cheap and can be stored for a long time. Once a part is produced, it will be looted by the people.Like other places, when marrying a daughter or daughter-in-law here, they also like to use things like soap and towels as gifts, and let those who come to the house to attend the wedding bring them back. This has become a fashion and decent.
