The husband's son-in-law
Chapter 115 Construction of Zhaozhou 15
Master Gu has built a coconut factory in Jiting Prefecture.
At the beginning of May, the first wave of news spread back to Zhaozhou City. The first reaction of the merchants in the city was disbelief and impossibility. If you send it to Zhaozhou, you won’t be able to sell it for a few dollars, and it’s nothing unusual.”
"I think so too. Even if the road is repaired and it's easy to go, this coconut is really nothing rare."
The merchants sat together and said that the coconut business is not worthwhile, and that it is not profitable to work hard, and finally laughed: "Master Gu is an official, this is it, but it is not good when it comes to business." Thumbs up and fell down again.
"But I think it might be possible?" Someone didn't say anything, because they had been slapped in the face before, and said to those jokers: "We have never heard of cement before, but now look at the cement road, it's Mr. Gu Brought, maybe this coconut business can also be successful."
Everyone put away their joke faces, but after thinking about it carefully, they lost their heads and didn't figure out how to do this coconut business. It's not profitable to think about it anyway. It can't be because of the factory run by Mr. Gu. If you make money, is it possible to buy and sell by force?
"Then tell me how to make money from this business?"
It is well known that the worthless coconuts are not rare, even if they are sold to Muzhou, it is thankless.The person who just said that it might be successful was blocked speechless, and looked at the first three big merchants.
"Boss Chen, what do you say?"
Boss Chen also murmured in his heart, like those discussing below, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't make money, but when he thought that this is Mr. Gu, he hesitated, without showing it, and said: "I will say what I say, and let people talk about it again." Take a look and see more, don't listen to the news."
"What are you talking about? How long has Mr. Gu been there? Why don't you look at the road of our Lin family. Hey, it has been repaired halfway, and it is smooth. I ask the servants to pour some water on it every day. I asked the people before it was repaired. Just pour more water on the cement road..." Boss Lin began to show off the merits of the Lin family.
Everyone was naturally envious. Boss Wang also wanted to show off his family's way, and felt that he jumped high before. Now it's better to be more stable and low-key, but Boss Lin picked him out.
"Has the road to Boss Wang's house been repaired? After all, Boss Wang is the first merchant in Zhaozhou City to donate money to build roads." Boss Lin's words gave Boss Wang a lot of firepower.
Boss Wang's originally round face was covered with sweat, and he made some good words for the big brothers with a smile.
There was also no discussion at this gathering, and later they all talked about the cement road and Gongde Road.More than ten days later, in mid-May, the news of Ji Ting came back again.
At this time, the road from Zhaozhou to Jiting has almost been repaired. As soon as the gate of the city is opened in the morning, they can ride horses to Jiting, and they can reach the gate of Jiting Prefecture before dark in the afternoon, which is not as troublesome as before.
The road from Zhaozhou to Bolin was built first, and the people of Zhaozhou who built the Bolin road are now vigorously building the road to Zhaozhou City.Roads are being built everywhere in Zhaozhou City, and there is no one who dislikes it.
The cement road is such a good road. In the future, when it rains, you don't need to step out of mud.
There are also ditches for sewage and rainwater.
This time the merchants gathered together again.
"—The coconut factory is run by Mrs. Gu?!"
Everyone was shocked, and they didn't believe it, so they asked: "Is it really Madam Gu's business?", "Madam Gu is in business? And built two factories?", "I just said that this coconut business is not profitable. It must not be what Master Gu thought, okay I see, I see, it turned out that Mrs. Gu was making a fuss."
"I didn't say that the head of the house should stay in the backyard, with his arms stretched to the front like this."
"It's not the stewed cooking business with a small business that made Mrs. Gu think about it."
"That is, can food be compared with one another? Small fights, how big are the two factories, Brother Fulang is detained in the back house, who has the brains to manage affairs and do business, come out to discuss business and make deals, it's not me, a few The old man's voice is higher, and his legs are weak from fright."
Because of the previous cement road, the big guys respect and admire Mrs. Gu. He is an official, and he is a good official. When he goes to Li Mansion to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, he also respects Mrs. Gu.But this will hear that Mrs. Gu is doing business, and there are still two unprofitable coconut factories, but these businessmen who have been doing business all year round have been stabbed.
I've never heard of a girl brother who can make the business bigger.
Small food stalls are nothing, but when it comes to doing big business, you can still be a man.
These men have been in business for more than ten years, and some have been in business for 30 to [-] years. This is what they do at home. Naturally, they respect those who are higher than them, and they instinctively look down on the women in the back house.
Except for the real wife who can get some respect, let's talk about the aunts and aunts of the various courtyards behind the lords. The lords are happy to sit and have fun, but if the aunt says that she is not staying in the house one day, she wants to go out Do business and do business.
The first thought of these old men was - this man is crazy!
You live a comfortable life wearing gold and silver and being served, but if you go out and show your face, don't tell me, are you a woman who is in business? Anyone who says this is stupid.
Now there is not only something to say, but also something to do directly.
But these merchants messed up and exploded. They felt like they didn’t fit in without saying a few words. Lose money!"
There are also angry ones, "He is a husband and wife, I still respect him a little bit, and now he ran to Jiting to set up a factory, this is a disaster for the people of the entire Jiting Prefecture!!!"
"Master Gu, why don't you stop him?"
"Can you stop it? Don't forget, the mansion plaque behind the Yamen in Zhaozhou City is Li Mansion."
Everyone was heartbroken, "How can Mr. Gu have such a shrew, it's pitiful."
"Let's wait and see. I said that maybe the stall is spread out, and Mrs. Gu can't continue to do it. When the time comes, I will ask Mr. Gu to finish it. My daughter and brother are like that. She can make a mess even if she embroiders. Ma'am tidy up."
Talked endlessly.The three major merchants were actually not at ease, and were very dissatisfied with Mrs. Gu's behavior. After hearing this, Master Wang took it to heart. Seeing the overwhelming opposition, some even started to talk about it in a low voice. Mrs. Gu—I dare not scold, because there are so many people.
Mr. Wang thought, Mrs. Gu can do such a big job when she arrives in Jiting, and Mrs. Gu agrees, or Mrs. Gu can't hold Mrs. Gu back. Anyway, the husband and wife are one, and he also feels that Mrs. Gu can't do this coconut well. Buying and selling, but he must be sincere, especially those who don't believe here. If he supports the letter, won't he be favored by Mr. Gu and look at him differently.
Otherwise, go to Jiting one day to have a look, anyway, the road is about to be repaired.Master Wang thought to himself.
By the end of May, the news came back again.
The addresses of Jiting's two factories have been selected, and construction has begun.Around mid-June, the factory was built. I heard that Mrs. Gu recruited workers for training. When the coconuts ripen in July, they can do it directly.
"What training? I've never heard of it."
"Do you want to teach me how to do business? Make coconuts?"
"Madam Gu teaches others how to do business?" The person seemed to have heard some joke, "His food shop guy has never been there, and it is thanks to Mrs. Gu that he can take root in Zhaozhou City smoothly. If you don't have that official skin, hum."
"Look at what you said, why don't people who are fair and official?"
"Stop arguing and don't talk about it elsewhere. Speaking of which, what else can I do with this coconut?"
"Wash it clean and pack it, it will look good, what else can I do?"
"How did Mrs. Gu have the money to build a factory? Don't you have the trick you learned from Mr. Gu to donate money? I didn't say that, even if it is Mrs. Gu's wife, it will be different if you do business. It's just throwing money down Yes, who would dare to ruin it like this, Jiting is not a wealthy prefecture."
"I heard it's investment promotion." He replied.
Merchants don't understand, what is investment promotion?Ask one by one.The bosses of Chen Huanglin's family and the Li family sitting in front were all taken aback because they had heard Mr. Gu say that.
"By the way, where's Boss Wang? Why haven't I seen anyone today?"
Somebody in the crowd said something, and the four people sitting in front realized that Boss Wang of the silk and satin shop had disappeared. The first thought in the four people's minds was: let the grandson take the lead again, and the appointment is to offer it to Mrs. Gu. up.
Are those four moving?Go to Keating too?
After everyone left, the four of them looked at each other, and Boss Chen said, "If Mr. Gu did it, I would be the first to go ahead to attract business, but the business Mrs. Gu did—"
The words are not complete, but the meaning has already been understood by others.
They all think the same as Boss Chen, what profit can coconuts make?Besides, can the Wang family compare with the four of them?In the past year since Mr. Gu came up, the Wang family has been sticking to it. Everyone knows what they are thinking, but because each family has nothing to do with it - except for the Huang family, which is also in the silk and satin business.
Now the Wang family is afraid of them, so they have to hold Mr. Gu's thigh tightly.Not to mention the four who hugged Master Gu's thigh, they also hugged, but now they are going to hug Mrs. Gu, these four big merchants will look down on them.
I feel that the Wang family really wants to be in a hurry.
Boss Wang wanted to make his mark in Zhaozhou City, break the situation where the Chen, Huang, Lin and Li families joined, and wanted to squeeze the Wang family in. He had been thinking about it for seven or eight years, but he had no chance.Now a new Shangguan finally came, Mr. Chen is old and has no interest in official duties, so he will be handled by Mr. Gu.
If Mr. Wang doesn't hug Mr. Gu's leg, who else can he hug?
When there is only one road, there is no need to choose.On the way to Jiting, Boss Wang was still thinking in the carriage, not asking Mrs. Gu's coconut business to make money, as long as it doesn't lose money.
He has already boarded Mr. Gu's boat, and now he can only go to Hei one way.
At the last meeting, a meritorious road, the Lin family took him as a joke, Master Wang could only apologize, knowing that his Wang family has already been missed by the four families, and he will only be able to consolidate the impression in front of Mr. Gu.
Master Wang's carriage was followed by another, which was his fourth brother.
Mrs. Gu is a brother, so he brought his brother there to chat with Mrs. Gu to relieve boredom.
Boss Wang took this trip to Jiting as spending money to hug Mrs. Gu's thigh. He really never thought that Mrs. Gu's coconut business would be a success, or a big success, so when he went, he took his brother at home and taught him how to do it. Talk to Mrs. Gu to relieve boredom and chat.
I don't believe in coconut business either, I think Mrs. Gu is just playing around.
As a result, when I arrived in Jiting, Mrs. Gu was dumbfounded when she heard it in the factory.From the back of Mrs. Gu's figure, she looks quite similar to Mrs. Gu. When he met someone, he was polite and said some flattering words. Mrs. Gu was smiling, but unconsciously, his flattering words followed. The other party got up and talked about business.
"...Boss Wang wants to donate money? I don't need to donate money here, I'm here for business."
"Then let's do business, Mrs. Gu, I, Mr. Wang, want to do business, and I can pay you money." Master Wang changed his words.
Who knew Mrs. Gu said: "That will have to wait for the China Merchants Association. In our prefecture of Jiting, the merchants and bosses in the four towns below will participate in this coconut business. If you want to get involved, then I will ask Xiaoshi to give it to you." Make a note, remember to come when the China Merchants Association opens."
Boss Wang didn't understand what a business promotion meeting was, but he understood the meaning: There are a lot of merchants holding money to sell coconuts to Mrs. Gu, and it seems that they are not as short of money as he imagined.
Fortunately, fortunately, it came over.
Boss Wang rented a small yard and settled down. He planned to stay for a few more days and see what the investment promotion meeting would be like.As for his fourth brother, the child raised by his aunt is too soft-tempered to poke him, and he doesn't know how to show his face in front of Mrs. Gu.
"...I asked you to serve Mrs. Gu, not to stay in the house and go back if you are disobedient." Boss Wang said unhappy.
The fourth brother lowered his head and bit his lips without saying a word. He was dressed in pink and green fresh thin short jacket and skirt trousers, with a headband on his hair, and two silver ornaments under the headband. His face was powdered and lip balm—— These were brought to him by his aunt.
Knowing that the master is going to bring him to Jiting to meet Mrs. Gu, his wife and aunt bought him new outfits, but the fourth brother doesn't like these. Since seeing Mrs. Gu during the Chinese New Year last year, the fourth brother doesn't like to wear them when he comes back Bright colors too.
But he can't help him when he goes out.
"You look like a man in those dusty clothes. You don't look like a brother at all. You won't be able to get married when the time comes. You can't let you mess around outside. Since you came back last time, it's like you've changed your temper. I don’t like these beautiful colored clothes anymore.” Auntie blamed and worried at the same time.
She doesn't like to dress up, and as she gets older, how can she find her husband's family in the future?
The wife said: "Our family is in the silk business. Now you are the face of the Wang family when you go out. You are dressed in shabby clothes. People outside will think that I am mean to you without knowing it."
So this time Mrs. Wang asked her mother to go with her to take care of the fourth brother, and to remind the fourth brother everywhere, so that the fourth brother would not make any jokes and shame the Wang family to the prefecture.
The mother next to the lady dresses and combs the fourth brother's hair, no matter how delicate and beautiful he is.With this face and this outfit on his fourth brother's face, he saw Mrs. Gu, who is also his brother, dressed up from a distance. For some reason, he felt ashamed that his face was flushed.
He wished he could get into the cracks of the ground so that Mrs. Gu would not see his attire, so why would he want to walk in front of Mrs. Gu?
Now the master is scolding him, the fourth brother just listens, and dare not say what is in his heart, biting his lip and hanging his face, it is fine if he wants to go back, but if he goes back, he will be scolded by his wife and scolded by his aunt, who scolds him for not being smart enough to come It's better than embarrassing yourself in front of Mrs. Gu with this outfit.
The house temporarily rented by the Wang family, originally the carriage was set up, and the fourth brother was going to be sent back. Who knew that Mrs. Gu’s hand came down, and Mr. Wang knew it. Woolen cloth.
Immediately, he didn't dare to judge others by others, so he went out to receive him in person.
Su Shiyi sent the investment invitation letter to Mr. Wang, and said after sending it: "...My boss Li saw from a distance last time that Mr. Wang was followed by the fourth brother? The boss sent me to ask, can I borrow the help of the fourth brother?" Help? I know that the brother of the Wang family, Jingui—”
"There is no such thing as expensive, they are all ordinary people, Madam Gu will be honored if she orders her around." Master Wang immediately greeted him with a smile, and asked the people below to quickly call the fourth brother.
Fortunately, he hasn't left yet.Mr. Wang thought to himself, Mrs. Gu only saw the fourth brother and wrote it down, so he was right to bring the fourth brother here.
The fourth brother heard that he couldn't leave, and wanted to see Mrs. Gu, and was pressed by his mother to change into the best satin clothes. He didn't feel much when he went to see Mrs. Gu's entourage. I can't lift my head up.
He is so ugly dressed.
"Your clothes are not good. It's easy to get scratched when working with me." Li Zhouzhou saw that the fourth brother of the Wang family who bowed his head was in distress. Last time, he saw him from a distance. After looking at it, he was busy and lowered his head, with a look of embarrassment.
Definitely don't like the outfit either.
"My clothes are definitely not suitable for you, they are too big." Li Zhouzhou frowned.
The fourth brother was courageous, but still lowered his head and said, "I brought my clothes, but Mama Wang didn't give them to me."
"Su Shiyi, make another trip and bring his luggage here." Li Zhouzhou arranged, "Go and wash your face, come here later, and I'll talk to you."
The fourth brother went to find his own room, and the servants here brought him hot water to wash. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately pulled the hairband on his hair, and he didn't cry when it hurt, and jingled the embarrassing thing. The silver bell was torn off and packed into a ball, which made her feel at ease.
Later, Gu Zhao heard that Zhou Zhou wanted the brother of the Wang family to come to work, so he naturally didn't believe this excuse, "Brother of the Wang family, I seem to have heard you say that you can't read, and you were raised pampered, maybe you can't even run errands. Unfavorable."
If you are busy and need manpower, you can recruit a strong man with seven or eight pennies.
"...At the beginning, Xiaomeng was also stubborn. Seeing the thorny one, my husband also bought it." Li Zhouzhou replied.
Gu Zhao smiled and said, "At this time, people, especially the victims, have numb faces, like walking corpses without souls. Xiaomeng has bright eyes, and there is still a sense of dissatisfaction in his body."
"When I met Zhou Zhou for the first time, Zhou Zhou's eyes were bright." Gu Zhao couldn't help but stepped forward to kiss him, even though Zhou Zhou was wearing patched clothes and standing in the village, it was like a layer of veil covering him. took pearls.
Now Zhou Zhou has blown away that layer of yarn.
The faces of the folks in the village who planed food in the soil, in fact, Gu Zhao can't remember the faces now, only the smiles on everyone's faces and the light in the eyes during the harvest, he can remember.
"The fourth brother is also, wearing the clothes of the current brother, he feels embarrassed, I think he is the same as me." Li Zhouzhou said.
For such a person, he felt that it was easy to help.
If the fourth brother likes to dress like this and likes to be manipulated and accepted by the elders, then Li Zhouzhou will be fine.
The fourth brother of the Wang family changed into the clothes he wore at home. They were also short jackets and culottes, but the color was navy blue and the material was cotton. Sometimes he ran down with Mrs. Gu one day and was wrinkled, but the fourth brother was happy .
He saw a lot that he hadn't seen before.
It turns out that brother can also be so powerful, many men listen to brother.
"It's not my brother's words, but the power and money in my hands." Li Zhouzhou said.
The Merchants Fair was held in the main courtyard of the small courtyard where the couple lived temporarily.
Li Zhouzhou handed over the work of arranging the venue to the fourth brother to take charge of the management, "The yard was cleaned up, the chairs were neatly arranged, and I went to the carpenter's shop to find someone to sign the sign and check the guest list..."
It was the first time for the fourth brother to work, and he was a little flustered, afraid that he would fail.
"Memorize it with your head, and do it one by one. If you can't remember it, ask me." After Li Zhouzhou finished speaking, he was busy with other things. He had a notepad, which listed all the things to do every day.
The fourth brother has seen Mrs. Gu's notebook, it's as big as a palm, and there is a charcoal pencil in his hand. It's great to write and draw when he has nothing to do, but he can't read. It would be great if he could.
The fourth brother of the China Merchants Association was busy setting up the venue. Sometimes he forgot one thing and dared not ask, and was criticized by Mrs. Gu. The fourth brother's face turned red——
"Don't cry, what I told you, if you don't remember, come and ask me, the China Merchants Conference has not yet opened, and everything can be changed if it is not done well, but what if the bad ones are delayed until the day of the China Merchants Conference?" Li Zhouzhou fiercely When it's over, tell me what you did wrong again, "Do you remember?"
The fourth brother said he remembered, and his heart was aroused.
Since then, the fourth brother no longer called Mrs. Gu, but changed his name to Boss Li just like Su Shiyi.
The Merchants Fair is open.Li Zhouzhou was also nervous, although Xianggong was sitting in the first row, but he was the main one to introduce and attract investment, so he practiced in the back house two days ago, and captured Xianggong Fubao as an "investor" for him .
Because the number of people was too small, Wang Wang also obediently sat side by side and played a guest role.
The scene Li Zhouzhou told Boss Wang at that time, in fact, the merchants came here because of his father-in-law’s face. He built a factory to recruit workers. He had heard some words from the local merchants, but he didn’t think coconuts could make money, and they were worth spending money on. Covering the sale of the factory.
Xianggong just told him about 'merchants'. First, he used his official authority to lure those merchants in to sit down and listen to the speech. After that, he talked about how the coconut business is done, what products are produced, how much is the price, how much is the labor, How much is the road toll?
"When you say this, the people sitting below are all merchants. As long as they are not stupid, they know that they will make money." Gu Zhao said.
Coconut soap, coconut sugar, and minced coconut can all be stored. Although the shelf life is not as exaggerated as one year, it is definitely no problem for more than one month.Desiccated coconut is dried and has no moisture, and it can be sealed in clay pots with paper and mud.
Now it can't be opened by hand, and the rubber ring sealing cover will be replaced later.
So is coconut sugar.
Coconut soap is not imported, let alone.It is convenient to store, does not take up space, is lightweight, the road is repaired, and there is no delay in delivery, and all aspects are planned, so what are you afraid of?
Li Zhouzhou was full of confidence, so he went!
Two factories, Xin'an Factory and Ruyi Factory.Xin'an Factory is the powerful local Li family, and the representatives they sent were actually trying to save Mr. Gu's face, and they didn't take it seriously—as the Li family thought, so did everyone sitting here.
But following Li Zhouzhou's introduction, the merchants who were "seemingly listening to the lecture carefully but actually wandering into space thinking about what to eat for lunch" suddenly became more energetic, and their eyes began to shine...
Naturally it is done.
"How does this coconut soap work? Can it really clean the hair and dirt on your body?"
Li Zhouzhou: "How to do it? This is the Li family's technology investment. Today, we will attract investment, and each factory will recruit three major shareholders..."
The major shareholders will definitely know how to do it. This is to open a factory in Jiting. These major shareholders are all local forces, and the coconut processing factory is not a place with strict confidentiality measures. You will know if you bribe the workers.
However, these major shareholders dare not mess around-start a new stove or something.
One is that behind the Li family is the government.After Erma's factory is built, you only need to pay for the money, and every year the coconuts are harvested and sold, and you will get money. This is really making money by sitting still.
In Xin'an factory, Li's family has a large proportion, which is slightly inferior to Li's family. The other Liu's, Wang's, and Chen's have no scattered shareholders.Liu, Wang, and Chen here are all local clans with surnames.
For example, a factory seems to have a large number of personnel, but it is actually better and easier to manage.
Zhaozhou Wang's family, the fourth brother's father, the other two country gentry, and a dozen or so loose stockholders.Naturally, the Li family took the lead.
The merchants have nothing to say about this. It seems that the Li family is actually supported by Mr. Gu. Can they still fight against the official?Besides, now every family has money to earn, but it is less than that of the official's family. What's the matter with it, we should be filial to Mr. Gu's family, so that the business can be done properly.
The two factories are backed by officials and go out to sell goods, which is much better than the merchants who ship them by themselves.From the merchant's point of view, this business is done by Li's family, and they 'give' money to them to earn money, so they are much respectful and polite to Mrs. Gu.
In July, when the coconuts are ripe, people in the four towns under Jiting climb trees to pick coconuts or beat coconuts.The factory charges this, two coconuts cost a penny.These local people have practiced climbing trees since they were young, and they climbed up quickly, because the county magistrate told them to pay attention to safety, so they had to tie themselves and the tree with an extra hemp rope-in the eyes of the locals, this was an extra effort. layer of kung fu.
There is nothing to be afraid of, from childhood to adulthood.
Jiting County Magistrate also passed on Master Gu's words, saying "safe operation", this safe operation, Jiting County Magistrate thought about it, and thought that Gu Daren is really amazing, this word is good, it means to let the people work safely, coconut If you sell more, you can accumulate a family business.
The coconut trees in the four towns used to be neglected—or people in the towns and villages were thirsty and picked one to quench their thirst. It is not a rare thing on weekdays, let alone pick it up for money.
Because there are almost every doorstep, and there are many more, who is willing to buy this.
In modern terms, it is: you dare to sell me money for free stuff all over the street?Believe it or not I pump you!
Now it doesn't matter how much it is, it doesn't matter what size it is, it's two cents a penny, but it needs to be good and familiar.Since the news spread, the people in the villages and towns have been guarding under the coconut tree in front of their house every day and night, and the children are bouncing under it and counting on their fingers.
One, two, three... Count to ten and you won't be able to.
Go to count the trees next to you.
In the past, the coconut trees were not taken care of, but now they are afraid that someone will steal them, and there are undivided areas where no one lives, and some fight over the coconut trees.
When people are poor and have money, they will quarrel.
The county magistrate reported it to Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu said: "Seeing that no one will die, let the village chief mediate. These trivial matters in the village are difficult for upright officials. This is the first year to harvest coconuts, and the people have been poor for a long time. It’s good to get rich slowly in the future.”
These are disputes only caused by poor people, and it is good to have money.
As for the matter of the government's order--on the surface, it seems that there is no fighting, but it's just to hold grudges, and secretly do some trivial things in private. It's not that Gu Zhao has never been in the village.
After the beating, the faces were torn off, and the two families would ignore each other for a while, which was better than Lai Yin's.
"If you're worried, take your men and horses to patrol a few more times to deter them," Gu Zhao said.
Jiting county magistrate immediately took people to patrol the streets, and after that, it was peaceful for a period of time, and a few lawsuits were broken, but just like Mr. Gu said, after listening to this person, he felt sorry for the other one. But after hearing what that family said, this family is just talking nonsense.
In the end, we could only play five boards each.
The processing at Xin'an Factory and Ruyi Factory is in full swing.Both male and female workers are recruited. The male workers are responsible for chopping coconuts, transporting them, and lighting the fire, while the female workers are responsible for the complex work of extracting coconut meat and canning.
All types of work are paid one wage, eight cents a day.
Male workers need to be strong, and female workers need to be young and dexterous. The people in the nearby villages and towns are anxious and send their brothers, daughters-in-law, and husbands to work, but they don’t accept old people.Those who can enter the factory to work, the daughter-in-law, the girl, and the brother who had a low status in the family and had no right to speak, suddenly became the favorites of the family.
It's eight coins a day! ! !
Even the mean mother-in-law, now she can smile a little when she sees her daughter-in-law, and when she sees someone coming back from work at night, she puts some meat in the bowl-don't be too tired and you won't be able to make money.
In mid-July, the first batch shipped.
The road from Jiting to Zhaozhou has been repaired long ago, and the goods can be shipped.Where are the goods sold this time?
"Go to the Central Plains!" Li Zhouzhou said.
Gu Zhao smiled, "It's been almost four months, and the road should be almost repaired."
The Central Plains is good, and the first shot was fired in Zhaozhou.
At the beginning of May, the first wave of news spread back to Zhaozhou City. The first reaction of the merchants in the city was disbelief and impossibility. If you send it to Zhaozhou, you won’t be able to sell it for a few dollars, and it’s nothing unusual.”
"I think so too. Even if the road is repaired and it's easy to go, this coconut is really nothing rare."
The merchants sat together and said that the coconut business is not worthwhile, and that it is not profitable to work hard, and finally laughed: "Master Gu is an official, this is it, but it is not good when it comes to business." Thumbs up and fell down again.
"But I think it might be possible?" Someone didn't say anything, because they had been slapped in the face before, and said to those jokers: "We have never heard of cement before, but now look at the cement road, it's Mr. Gu Brought, maybe this coconut business can also be successful."
Everyone put away their joke faces, but after thinking about it carefully, they lost their heads and didn't figure out how to do this coconut business. It's not profitable to think about it anyway. It can't be because of the factory run by Mr. Gu. If you make money, is it possible to buy and sell by force?
"Then tell me how to make money from this business?"
It is well known that the worthless coconuts are not rare, even if they are sold to Muzhou, it is thankless.The person who just said that it might be successful was blocked speechless, and looked at the first three big merchants.
"Boss Chen, what do you say?"
Boss Chen also murmured in his heart, like those discussing below, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't make money, but when he thought that this is Mr. Gu, he hesitated, without showing it, and said: "I will say what I say, and let people talk about it again." Take a look and see more, don't listen to the news."
"What are you talking about? How long has Mr. Gu been there? Why don't you look at the road of our Lin family. Hey, it has been repaired halfway, and it is smooth. I ask the servants to pour some water on it every day. I asked the people before it was repaired. Just pour more water on the cement road..." Boss Lin began to show off the merits of the Lin family.
Everyone was naturally envious. Boss Wang also wanted to show off his family's way, and felt that he jumped high before. Now it's better to be more stable and low-key, but Boss Lin picked him out.
"Has the road to Boss Wang's house been repaired? After all, Boss Wang is the first merchant in Zhaozhou City to donate money to build roads." Boss Lin's words gave Boss Wang a lot of firepower.
Boss Wang's originally round face was covered with sweat, and he made some good words for the big brothers with a smile.
There was also no discussion at this gathering, and later they all talked about the cement road and Gongde Road.More than ten days later, in mid-May, the news of Ji Ting came back again.
At this time, the road from Zhaozhou to Jiting has almost been repaired. As soon as the gate of the city is opened in the morning, they can ride horses to Jiting, and they can reach the gate of Jiting Prefecture before dark in the afternoon, which is not as troublesome as before.
The road from Zhaozhou to Bolin was built first, and the people of Zhaozhou who built the Bolin road are now vigorously building the road to Zhaozhou City.Roads are being built everywhere in Zhaozhou City, and there is no one who dislikes it.
The cement road is such a good road. In the future, when it rains, you don't need to step out of mud.
There are also ditches for sewage and rainwater.
This time the merchants gathered together again.
"—The coconut factory is run by Mrs. Gu?!"
Everyone was shocked, and they didn't believe it, so they asked: "Is it really Madam Gu's business?", "Madam Gu is in business? And built two factories?", "I just said that this coconut business is not profitable. It must not be what Master Gu thought, okay I see, I see, it turned out that Mrs. Gu was making a fuss."
"I didn't say that the head of the house should stay in the backyard, with his arms stretched to the front like this."
"It's not the stewed cooking business with a small business that made Mrs. Gu think about it."
"That is, can food be compared with one another? Small fights, how big are the two factories, Brother Fulang is detained in the back house, who has the brains to manage affairs and do business, come out to discuss business and make deals, it's not me, a few The old man's voice is higher, and his legs are weak from fright."
Because of the previous cement road, the big guys respect and admire Mrs. Gu. He is an official, and he is a good official. When he goes to Li Mansion to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, he also respects Mrs. Gu.But this will hear that Mrs. Gu is doing business, and there are still two unprofitable coconut factories, but these businessmen who have been doing business all year round have been stabbed.
I've never heard of a girl brother who can make the business bigger.
Small food stalls are nothing, but when it comes to doing big business, you can still be a man.
These men have been in business for more than ten years, and some have been in business for 30 to [-] years. This is what they do at home. Naturally, they respect those who are higher than them, and they instinctively look down on the women in the back house.
Except for the real wife who can get some respect, let's talk about the aunts and aunts of the various courtyards behind the lords. The lords are happy to sit and have fun, but if the aunt says that she is not staying in the house one day, she wants to go out Do business and do business.
The first thought of these old men was - this man is crazy!
You live a comfortable life wearing gold and silver and being served, but if you go out and show your face, don't tell me, are you a woman who is in business? Anyone who says this is stupid.
Now there is not only something to say, but also something to do directly.
But these merchants messed up and exploded. They felt like they didn’t fit in without saying a few words. Lose money!"
There are also angry ones, "He is a husband and wife, I still respect him a little bit, and now he ran to Jiting to set up a factory, this is a disaster for the people of the entire Jiting Prefecture!!!"
"Master Gu, why don't you stop him?"
"Can you stop it? Don't forget, the mansion plaque behind the Yamen in Zhaozhou City is Li Mansion."
Everyone was heartbroken, "How can Mr. Gu have such a shrew, it's pitiful."
"Let's wait and see. I said that maybe the stall is spread out, and Mrs. Gu can't continue to do it. When the time comes, I will ask Mr. Gu to finish it. My daughter and brother are like that. She can make a mess even if she embroiders. Ma'am tidy up."
Talked endlessly.The three major merchants were actually not at ease, and were very dissatisfied with Mrs. Gu's behavior. After hearing this, Master Wang took it to heart. Seeing the overwhelming opposition, some even started to talk about it in a low voice. Mrs. Gu—I dare not scold, because there are so many people.
Mr. Wang thought, Mrs. Gu can do such a big job when she arrives in Jiting, and Mrs. Gu agrees, or Mrs. Gu can't hold Mrs. Gu back. Anyway, the husband and wife are one, and he also feels that Mrs. Gu can't do this coconut well. Buying and selling, but he must be sincere, especially those who don't believe here. If he supports the letter, won't he be favored by Mr. Gu and look at him differently.
Otherwise, go to Jiting one day to have a look, anyway, the road is about to be repaired.Master Wang thought to himself.
By the end of May, the news came back again.
The addresses of Jiting's two factories have been selected, and construction has begun.Around mid-June, the factory was built. I heard that Mrs. Gu recruited workers for training. When the coconuts ripen in July, they can do it directly.
"What training? I've never heard of it."
"Do you want to teach me how to do business? Make coconuts?"
"Madam Gu teaches others how to do business?" The person seemed to have heard some joke, "His food shop guy has never been there, and it is thanks to Mrs. Gu that he can take root in Zhaozhou City smoothly. If you don't have that official skin, hum."
"Look at what you said, why don't people who are fair and official?"
"Stop arguing and don't talk about it elsewhere. Speaking of which, what else can I do with this coconut?"
"Wash it clean and pack it, it will look good, what else can I do?"
"How did Mrs. Gu have the money to build a factory? Don't you have the trick you learned from Mr. Gu to donate money? I didn't say that, even if it is Mrs. Gu's wife, it will be different if you do business. It's just throwing money down Yes, who would dare to ruin it like this, Jiting is not a wealthy prefecture."
"I heard it's investment promotion." He replied.
Merchants don't understand, what is investment promotion?Ask one by one.The bosses of Chen Huanglin's family and the Li family sitting in front were all taken aback because they had heard Mr. Gu say that.
"By the way, where's Boss Wang? Why haven't I seen anyone today?"
Somebody in the crowd said something, and the four people sitting in front realized that Boss Wang of the silk and satin shop had disappeared. The first thought in the four people's minds was: let the grandson take the lead again, and the appointment is to offer it to Mrs. Gu. up.
Are those four moving?Go to Keating too?
After everyone left, the four of them looked at each other, and Boss Chen said, "If Mr. Gu did it, I would be the first to go ahead to attract business, but the business Mrs. Gu did—"
The words are not complete, but the meaning has already been understood by others.
They all think the same as Boss Chen, what profit can coconuts make?Besides, can the Wang family compare with the four of them?In the past year since Mr. Gu came up, the Wang family has been sticking to it. Everyone knows what they are thinking, but because each family has nothing to do with it - except for the Huang family, which is also in the silk and satin business.
Now the Wang family is afraid of them, so they have to hold Mr. Gu's thigh tightly.Not to mention the four who hugged Master Gu's thigh, they also hugged, but now they are going to hug Mrs. Gu, these four big merchants will look down on them.
I feel that the Wang family really wants to be in a hurry.
Boss Wang wanted to make his mark in Zhaozhou City, break the situation where the Chen, Huang, Lin and Li families joined, and wanted to squeeze the Wang family in. He had been thinking about it for seven or eight years, but he had no chance.Now a new Shangguan finally came, Mr. Chen is old and has no interest in official duties, so he will be handled by Mr. Gu.
If Mr. Wang doesn't hug Mr. Gu's leg, who else can he hug?
When there is only one road, there is no need to choose.On the way to Jiting, Boss Wang was still thinking in the carriage, not asking Mrs. Gu's coconut business to make money, as long as it doesn't lose money.
He has already boarded Mr. Gu's boat, and now he can only go to Hei one way.
At the last meeting, a meritorious road, the Lin family took him as a joke, Master Wang could only apologize, knowing that his Wang family has already been missed by the four families, and he will only be able to consolidate the impression in front of Mr. Gu.
Master Wang's carriage was followed by another, which was his fourth brother.
Mrs. Gu is a brother, so he brought his brother there to chat with Mrs. Gu to relieve boredom.
Boss Wang took this trip to Jiting as spending money to hug Mrs. Gu's thigh. He really never thought that Mrs. Gu's coconut business would be a success, or a big success, so when he went, he took his brother at home and taught him how to do it. Talk to Mrs. Gu to relieve boredom and chat.
I don't believe in coconut business either, I think Mrs. Gu is just playing around.
As a result, when I arrived in Jiting, Mrs. Gu was dumbfounded when she heard it in the factory.From the back of Mrs. Gu's figure, she looks quite similar to Mrs. Gu. When he met someone, he was polite and said some flattering words. Mrs. Gu was smiling, but unconsciously, his flattering words followed. The other party got up and talked about business.
"...Boss Wang wants to donate money? I don't need to donate money here, I'm here for business."
"Then let's do business, Mrs. Gu, I, Mr. Wang, want to do business, and I can pay you money." Master Wang changed his words.
Who knew Mrs. Gu said: "That will have to wait for the China Merchants Association. In our prefecture of Jiting, the merchants and bosses in the four towns below will participate in this coconut business. If you want to get involved, then I will ask Xiaoshi to give it to you." Make a note, remember to come when the China Merchants Association opens."
Boss Wang didn't understand what a business promotion meeting was, but he understood the meaning: There are a lot of merchants holding money to sell coconuts to Mrs. Gu, and it seems that they are not as short of money as he imagined.
Fortunately, fortunately, it came over.
Boss Wang rented a small yard and settled down. He planned to stay for a few more days and see what the investment promotion meeting would be like.As for his fourth brother, the child raised by his aunt is too soft-tempered to poke him, and he doesn't know how to show his face in front of Mrs. Gu.
"...I asked you to serve Mrs. Gu, not to stay in the house and go back if you are disobedient." Boss Wang said unhappy.
The fourth brother lowered his head and bit his lips without saying a word. He was dressed in pink and green fresh thin short jacket and skirt trousers, with a headband on his hair, and two silver ornaments under the headband. His face was powdered and lip balm—— These were brought to him by his aunt.
Knowing that the master is going to bring him to Jiting to meet Mrs. Gu, his wife and aunt bought him new outfits, but the fourth brother doesn't like these. Since seeing Mrs. Gu during the Chinese New Year last year, the fourth brother doesn't like to wear them when he comes back Bright colors too.
But he can't help him when he goes out.
"You look like a man in those dusty clothes. You don't look like a brother at all. You won't be able to get married when the time comes. You can't let you mess around outside. Since you came back last time, it's like you've changed your temper. I don’t like these beautiful colored clothes anymore.” Auntie blamed and worried at the same time.
She doesn't like to dress up, and as she gets older, how can she find her husband's family in the future?
The wife said: "Our family is in the silk business. Now you are the face of the Wang family when you go out. You are dressed in shabby clothes. People outside will think that I am mean to you without knowing it."
So this time Mrs. Wang asked her mother to go with her to take care of the fourth brother, and to remind the fourth brother everywhere, so that the fourth brother would not make any jokes and shame the Wang family to the prefecture.
The mother next to the lady dresses and combs the fourth brother's hair, no matter how delicate and beautiful he is.With this face and this outfit on his fourth brother's face, he saw Mrs. Gu, who is also his brother, dressed up from a distance. For some reason, he felt ashamed that his face was flushed.
He wished he could get into the cracks of the ground so that Mrs. Gu would not see his attire, so why would he want to walk in front of Mrs. Gu?
Now the master is scolding him, the fourth brother just listens, and dare not say what is in his heart, biting his lip and hanging his face, it is fine if he wants to go back, but if he goes back, he will be scolded by his wife and scolded by his aunt, who scolds him for not being smart enough to come It's better than embarrassing yourself in front of Mrs. Gu with this outfit.
The house temporarily rented by the Wang family, originally the carriage was set up, and the fourth brother was going to be sent back. Who knew that Mrs. Gu’s hand came down, and Mr. Wang knew it. Woolen cloth.
Immediately, he didn't dare to judge others by others, so he went out to receive him in person.
Su Shiyi sent the investment invitation letter to Mr. Wang, and said after sending it: "...My boss Li saw from a distance last time that Mr. Wang was followed by the fourth brother? The boss sent me to ask, can I borrow the help of the fourth brother?" Help? I know that the brother of the Wang family, Jingui—”
"There is no such thing as expensive, they are all ordinary people, Madam Gu will be honored if she orders her around." Master Wang immediately greeted him with a smile, and asked the people below to quickly call the fourth brother.
Fortunately, he hasn't left yet.Mr. Wang thought to himself, Mrs. Gu only saw the fourth brother and wrote it down, so he was right to bring the fourth brother here.
The fourth brother heard that he couldn't leave, and wanted to see Mrs. Gu, and was pressed by his mother to change into the best satin clothes. He didn't feel much when he went to see Mrs. Gu's entourage. I can't lift my head up.
He is so ugly dressed.
"Your clothes are not good. It's easy to get scratched when working with me." Li Zhouzhou saw that the fourth brother of the Wang family who bowed his head was in distress. Last time, he saw him from a distance. After looking at it, he was busy and lowered his head, with a look of embarrassment.
Definitely don't like the outfit either.
"My clothes are definitely not suitable for you, they are too big." Li Zhouzhou frowned.
The fourth brother was courageous, but still lowered his head and said, "I brought my clothes, but Mama Wang didn't give them to me."
"Su Shiyi, make another trip and bring his luggage here." Li Zhouzhou arranged, "Go and wash your face, come here later, and I'll talk to you."
The fourth brother went to find his own room, and the servants here brought him hot water to wash. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately pulled the hairband on his hair, and he didn't cry when it hurt, and jingled the embarrassing thing. The silver bell was torn off and packed into a ball, which made her feel at ease.
Later, Gu Zhao heard that Zhou Zhou wanted the brother of the Wang family to come to work, so he naturally didn't believe this excuse, "Brother of the Wang family, I seem to have heard you say that you can't read, and you were raised pampered, maybe you can't even run errands. Unfavorable."
If you are busy and need manpower, you can recruit a strong man with seven or eight pennies.
"...At the beginning, Xiaomeng was also stubborn. Seeing the thorny one, my husband also bought it." Li Zhouzhou replied.
Gu Zhao smiled and said, "At this time, people, especially the victims, have numb faces, like walking corpses without souls. Xiaomeng has bright eyes, and there is still a sense of dissatisfaction in his body."
"When I met Zhou Zhou for the first time, Zhou Zhou's eyes were bright." Gu Zhao couldn't help but stepped forward to kiss him, even though Zhou Zhou was wearing patched clothes and standing in the village, it was like a layer of veil covering him. took pearls.
Now Zhou Zhou has blown away that layer of yarn.
The faces of the folks in the village who planed food in the soil, in fact, Gu Zhao can't remember the faces now, only the smiles on everyone's faces and the light in the eyes during the harvest, he can remember.
"The fourth brother is also, wearing the clothes of the current brother, he feels embarrassed, I think he is the same as me." Li Zhouzhou said.
For such a person, he felt that it was easy to help.
If the fourth brother likes to dress like this and likes to be manipulated and accepted by the elders, then Li Zhouzhou will be fine.
The fourth brother of the Wang family changed into the clothes he wore at home. They were also short jackets and culottes, but the color was navy blue and the material was cotton. Sometimes he ran down with Mrs. Gu one day and was wrinkled, but the fourth brother was happy .
He saw a lot that he hadn't seen before.
It turns out that brother can also be so powerful, many men listen to brother.
"It's not my brother's words, but the power and money in my hands." Li Zhouzhou said.
The Merchants Fair was held in the main courtyard of the small courtyard where the couple lived temporarily.
Li Zhouzhou handed over the work of arranging the venue to the fourth brother to take charge of the management, "The yard was cleaned up, the chairs were neatly arranged, and I went to the carpenter's shop to find someone to sign the sign and check the guest list..."
It was the first time for the fourth brother to work, and he was a little flustered, afraid that he would fail.
"Memorize it with your head, and do it one by one. If you can't remember it, ask me." After Li Zhouzhou finished speaking, he was busy with other things. He had a notepad, which listed all the things to do every day.
The fourth brother has seen Mrs. Gu's notebook, it's as big as a palm, and there is a charcoal pencil in his hand. It's great to write and draw when he has nothing to do, but he can't read. It would be great if he could.
The fourth brother of the China Merchants Association was busy setting up the venue. Sometimes he forgot one thing and dared not ask, and was criticized by Mrs. Gu. The fourth brother's face turned red——
"Don't cry, what I told you, if you don't remember, come and ask me, the China Merchants Conference has not yet opened, and everything can be changed if it is not done well, but what if the bad ones are delayed until the day of the China Merchants Conference?" Li Zhouzhou fiercely When it's over, tell me what you did wrong again, "Do you remember?"
The fourth brother said he remembered, and his heart was aroused.
Since then, the fourth brother no longer called Mrs. Gu, but changed his name to Boss Li just like Su Shiyi.
The Merchants Fair is open.Li Zhouzhou was also nervous, although Xianggong was sitting in the first row, but he was the main one to introduce and attract investment, so he practiced in the back house two days ago, and captured Xianggong Fubao as an "investor" for him .
Because the number of people was too small, Wang Wang also obediently sat side by side and played a guest role.
The scene Li Zhouzhou told Boss Wang at that time, in fact, the merchants came here because of his father-in-law’s face. He built a factory to recruit workers. He had heard some words from the local merchants, but he didn’t think coconuts could make money, and they were worth spending money on. Covering the sale of the factory.
Xianggong just told him about 'merchants'. First, he used his official authority to lure those merchants in to sit down and listen to the speech. After that, he talked about how the coconut business is done, what products are produced, how much is the price, how much is the labor, How much is the road toll?
"When you say this, the people sitting below are all merchants. As long as they are not stupid, they know that they will make money." Gu Zhao said.
Coconut soap, coconut sugar, and minced coconut can all be stored. Although the shelf life is not as exaggerated as one year, it is definitely no problem for more than one month.Desiccated coconut is dried and has no moisture, and it can be sealed in clay pots with paper and mud.
Now it can't be opened by hand, and the rubber ring sealing cover will be replaced later.
So is coconut sugar.
Coconut soap is not imported, let alone.It is convenient to store, does not take up space, is lightweight, the road is repaired, and there is no delay in delivery, and all aspects are planned, so what are you afraid of?
Li Zhouzhou was full of confidence, so he went!
Two factories, Xin'an Factory and Ruyi Factory.Xin'an Factory is the powerful local Li family, and the representatives they sent were actually trying to save Mr. Gu's face, and they didn't take it seriously—as the Li family thought, so did everyone sitting here.
But following Li Zhouzhou's introduction, the merchants who were "seemingly listening to the lecture carefully but actually wandering into space thinking about what to eat for lunch" suddenly became more energetic, and their eyes began to shine...
Naturally it is done.
"How does this coconut soap work? Can it really clean the hair and dirt on your body?"
Li Zhouzhou: "How to do it? This is the Li family's technology investment. Today, we will attract investment, and each factory will recruit three major shareholders..."
The major shareholders will definitely know how to do it. This is to open a factory in Jiting. These major shareholders are all local forces, and the coconut processing factory is not a place with strict confidentiality measures. You will know if you bribe the workers.
However, these major shareholders dare not mess around-start a new stove or something.
One is that behind the Li family is the government.After Erma's factory is built, you only need to pay for the money, and every year the coconuts are harvested and sold, and you will get money. This is really making money by sitting still.
In Xin'an factory, Li's family has a large proportion, which is slightly inferior to Li's family. The other Liu's, Wang's, and Chen's have no scattered shareholders.Liu, Wang, and Chen here are all local clans with surnames.
For example, a factory seems to have a large number of personnel, but it is actually better and easier to manage.
Zhaozhou Wang's family, the fourth brother's father, the other two country gentry, and a dozen or so loose stockholders.Naturally, the Li family took the lead.
The merchants have nothing to say about this. It seems that the Li family is actually supported by Mr. Gu. Can they still fight against the official?Besides, now every family has money to earn, but it is less than that of the official's family. What's the matter with it, we should be filial to Mr. Gu's family, so that the business can be done properly.
The two factories are backed by officials and go out to sell goods, which is much better than the merchants who ship them by themselves.From the merchant's point of view, this business is done by Li's family, and they 'give' money to them to earn money, so they are much respectful and polite to Mrs. Gu.
In July, when the coconuts are ripe, people in the four towns under Jiting climb trees to pick coconuts or beat coconuts.The factory charges this, two coconuts cost a penny.These local people have practiced climbing trees since they were young, and they climbed up quickly, because the county magistrate told them to pay attention to safety, so they had to tie themselves and the tree with an extra hemp rope-in the eyes of the locals, this was an extra effort. layer of kung fu.
There is nothing to be afraid of, from childhood to adulthood.
Jiting County Magistrate also passed on Master Gu's words, saying "safe operation", this safe operation, Jiting County Magistrate thought about it, and thought that Gu Daren is really amazing, this word is good, it means to let the people work safely, coconut If you sell more, you can accumulate a family business.
The coconut trees in the four towns used to be neglected—or people in the towns and villages were thirsty and picked one to quench their thirst. It is not a rare thing on weekdays, let alone pick it up for money.
Because there are almost every doorstep, and there are many more, who is willing to buy this.
In modern terms, it is: you dare to sell me money for free stuff all over the street?Believe it or not I pump you!
Now it doesn't matter how much it is, it doesn't matter what size it is, it's two cents a penny, but it needs to be good and familiar.Since the news spread, the people in the villages and towns have been guarding under the coconut tree in front of their house every day and night, and the children are bouncing under it and counting on their fingers.
One, two, three... Count to ten and you won't be able to.
Go to count the trees next to you.
In the past, the coconut trees were not taken care of, but now they are afraid that someone will steal them, and there are undivided areas where no one lives, and some fight over the coconut trees.
When people are poor and have money, they will quarrel.
The county magistrate reported it to Mr. Gu, and Mr. Gu said: "Seeing that no one will die, let the village chief mediate. These trivial matters in the village are difficult for upright officials. This is the first year to harvest coconuts, and the people have been poor for a long time. It’s good to get rich slowly in the future.”
These are disputes only caused by poor people, and it is good to have money.
As for the matter of the government's order--on the surface, it seems that there is no fighting, but it's just to hold grudges, and secretly do some trivial things in private. It's not that Gu Zhao has never been in the village.
After the beating, the faces were torn off, and the two families would ignore each other for a while, which was better than Lai Yin's.
"If you're worried, take your men and horses to patrol a few more times to deter them," Gu Zhao said.
Jiting county magistrate immediately took people to patrol the streets, and after that, it was peaceful for a period of time, and a few lawsuits were broken, but just like Mr. Gu said, after listening to this person, he felt sorry for the other one. But after hearing what that family said, this family is just talking nonsense.
In the end, we could only play five boards each.
The processing at Xin'an Factory and Ruyi Factory is in full swing.Both male and female workers are recruited. The male workers are responsible for chopping coconuts, transporting them, and lighting the fire, while the female workers are responsible for the complex work of extracting coconut meat and canning.
All types of work are paid one wage, eight cents a day.
Male workers need to be strong, and female workers need to be young and dexterous. The people in the nearby villages and towns are anxious and send their brothers, daughters-in-law, and husbands to work, but they don’t accept old people.Those who can enter the factory to work, the daughter-in-law, the girl, and the brother who had a low status in the family and had no right to speak, suddenly became the favorites of the family.
It's eight coins a day! ! !
Even the mean mother-in-law, now she can smile a little when she sees her daughter-in-law, and when she sees someone coming back from work at night, she puts some meat in the bowl-don't be too tired and you won't be able to make money.
In mid-July, the first batch shipped.
The road from Jiting to Zhaozhou has been repaired long ago, and the goods can be shipped.Where are the goods sold this time?
"Go to the Central Plains!" Li Zhouzhou said.
Gu Zhao smiled, "It's been almost four months, and the road should be almost repaired."
The Central Plains is good, and the first shot was fired in Zhaozhou.
