Interstellar female dressed as country dude

After the Wan family brothers left, those honorable sons who followed Wan Ruyi also left one after another.

The Wan family brothers came to Baiyu Mountain Villa. Although they only stayed for three days, the benefits and contacts they brought to them were extremely rich.

Soon after they left, many guests came to the village again.

This time, there are many honorable and famous people who follow suit, and some literati and poets who come here because of their fame.

Among those literati, some were Bai Shu who had posted before, and some came here by themselves, wanting to draw inspiration from Baiyu Villa.

But for all the literati who came to the villa, Bai Shu would give them generous hospitality. Before they left, they would have to ask them for a calligraphy or painting or a poem.

The display wall was originally designed by Bai Shu to display calligraphy from various calligraphy schools.After hanging many pens and inks of everyone, gradually, it became one of the scenic spots in Baiyu Villa.

After this reputation spread, people who like writing and ink would come to appreciate it, and feel proud that their calligraphy can be hung on the wall.

After about half a month, the weather gradually turned cooler, and the red leaves on the back mountain gradually began to wither.

Before you know it, the day has come to the twelfth lunar month.

Seeing that the crisp autumn season is gone forever, the temperature is getting colder day by day, and it has entered the deep winter.

The business of Baiyu Villa is also as expected by Baishu, and the weather has cooled down.

With no business, Bai Shu still has time to make some recent gains.

He found Chen Dongqing and asked him to follow him and learn how to settle accounts.

Chen Dongqing himself also learned some arithmetic from someone who knows how to do it, and now he can use the abacus, and he can also do simple addition and subtraction.

After half a day, Bai Shu finally settled the account.The income of Baiyu Villa last month was more than 8000 taels, which was more than he expected.Plus the previous 6 taels, the total is [-] taels of silver.

For such benefits, Chen Dongqing was extremely excited, and Bai Shu was also very satisfied.

Even for Xie Huaiyu, 6 taels is a lot of money, and I finally have some use for him!

Bai Shu packed the silver and bills into piles, and took the whole cart to Xie Huaiyu's house.

It was so easy to earn the money, so naturally Xie Huaiyu had to keep it all.

Xie Huaiyu was practicing calligraphy in the study at this time, the door curtain was thrown open suddenly, and he saw Bai Shu carrying some boxes to his study, opened it, and found that there were silver and bank notes inside.

"Why is there so much money?" Even Xiaoshu was taken aback.Even the Tang family's business is not small, but the money is also scattered in various silver villages, so there is no such thing as a whole brain piled up at home.

"Xie Huaiyu! I earned more than 6 taels, all of which are for you!" Bai Shu said loudly, with some pride in his voice.

His eyes were wide and round, looking at Xie Huaiyu with burning eyes, as if begging for praise.

"6 taels!" Xiao Shu couldn't help being a little surprised: "It's really a lot."

Xie Huaiyu chuckled, patted Bai Shu's head and said, "It's not safe to keep so much money with me, it's better to take it to the bank and store it."

Xie Huaiyu ran the Tang family's business, although 6 taels of silver was a lot, but he was not that uninformed, so he just nodded slightly and was not very surprised.

He first counted those that were originally bank notes.He also packed the remaining silver in integers and sent people to the bank in the city to exchange the silver bills.

In addition to the bank notes, Xie Huaiyu specially asked people to exchange 2000 taels of cash into gold.

In the Xuan Dynasty, gold was exchanged for silver, and one tael of gold could be exchanged for ten taels of silver.Therefore, 2000 taels of silver were only exchanged for 200 taels of gold ingots.

And these gold ingots were divided into several parts by him, and sent to the various government offices in the name of Baishu for management.

Seeing Xie Huaiyu like this, Bai Shu realized that he hadn't thought of this place at all.He couldn't help admiring secretly, after all, it was Xie Huaiyu who was well-informed and had finally made up for what he hadn't thought of.

"Sending these money is just to clear the way." Xie Huaiyu taught Bai Shu: "Baiyu Villa has made money, if you don't manage it as soon as possible, you will definitely be troubled in the future."

"Even if I send these over, after the Chinese New Year, I have to prepare an annual gift for them, and the amount can't be too low. It will cost thousands of taels of silver in total. It will cost at least ten thousand taels for all kinds of management in a year." Xie Huaiyu said.

Bai Shu was shocked again, and couldn't help saying, "It takes so much!"

"That's not too much." Xie Huaiyu smiled slightly: "It's just a small official in the prefecture city, which is easy to get rid of, so that's why I got this money. If it's in the capital, even if it can earn hundreds of thousands a month, it also needs to have money. Most of it went into other people's pockets."

Bai Shu clicked his tongue after hearing this, and lamented that the prices in the capital are too expensive.

Xie Huaiyu then said to him: "You have also been to the Xie Mansion in the capital before. Can you see the wealth and honor in the Xie family?"

Bai Shu thought of the big courtyard he saw, there were various ponds, gardens, artificial mountains and strange rocks, and piles of servants, all dressed exquisitely, not to mention the clothes of the masters of the Xie Mansion.

"The mansion in the capital was a reward from the late emperor, but it needs to be repaired every year, and it costs thousands of taels of silver." Xie Huaiyu said lightly: "Besides, there are hundreds of people in the Xie family, and the annual monthly silver is about 5000 taels. Uncle Xie is very particular about food, there are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas in the mansion, and it costs thousands of taels every year. Not to mention the clothes and jewelry they wear."

"Ms. Lou likes luxury, and loves to put on big banquets. A banquet costs thousands of taels of silver. Her and Xie Qi's clothes are custom-made, and the silk material alone is worth thousands of gold. Xie Qi usually When Lixi went to brothel and flower street, he spent a lot of money and didn't pay attention to money."

Xie Huaiyu said this, paused, and suddenly asked: "Bai Shu, guess how much Earl Xie's annual salary is?"

Bai Shu roughly calculated in his mind what Xie Huaiyu said before, tentatively stretched out a finger and said, "Ten... 10 taels?"

"Wrong! It's only ten thousand taels." Xie Huaiyu shook his head and said with a smile: "But even ten thousand taels is quite a lot in the salary of an official. If the other officials don't have titles, they can only spend two thousand taels a year. 3000 taels."

"Then how can it be enough for them?" Bai Shu said in astonishment.

"Of course it's not enough. However, there is still a fief in the uncle's mansion, and the annual rent is tens of thousands." Xie Huaiyu said.

And his mother ran a lot of businesses back then, and saved the Bo family's savings for many years.

It is also because of these savings that Lou and Xie Qi are now able to live such a luxurious life wearing silk clothes worth thousands of gold and jewels all over their heads.

"Most of the noble children in the capital live such a luxurious life like the Xie family." Xie Huaiyu said: "The salary is not enough, so we have to find compensation from other sources. Naturally, merchants are the most important place to find compensation. Convenience. The annual filial silver becomes the bulk of their income."

Bai Shu heard Xie Huaiyu talk about these unspoken rules, and his heart was in a turmoil.

If he hadn't met such a knowledgeable person as Xie Huaiyu, he might be imprisoned in Zhuangzi after a while, and he doesn't know why.

Xie Huaiyu explained many secret rules to Bai Shu, and then changed the topic to other places, and the two of them had another chat.

The winter in Baitang Village is not so easy.

It is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the temperature is not too low, so it didn't snow for a while.

It's just that the light rain is sometimes mixed with cold snowdrops, which is more unbearable than the heavy snow.

Bai Shu pushed the door and took only a few steps, but her whole body was about to be drenched by the light rain, no matter how many layers of clothes she put on, it was useless.

These days, even the quilt that he sleeps on is damp. If Bai Shu still lives in that dilapidated house, he is probably half frozen to death.

This kind of weather makes everyone feel a little tired.

Even Li'er, who loves to go to the village to study every day, doesn't like to get up these days.

There is still more than half a month before the road will be blocked by the real heavy snow.At this time, Atractylodes macrocephala must be prepared, and everything will be ready until the next spring.

The first thing in this preparation is eating.

Baizhu purchased [-] catties of japonica rice, [-] catties of white flour, dozens of catties of oil and some seasonings.He harvested dozens of catties of pork and beef, salted them, dried them in the air, and made them into jerky.

In addition, there are some fish in his fish pond, which are naturally not sent to Laifulu in winter, so they can be eaten by themselves.

As for those vegetables, melons and fruits, many people in the village have them.Even in winter, you can charge a little more at a higher price, and the Atractylodes macrocephala will not be stored.

There are so many ingredients to deal with at once.All the staff of Baiyu Villa went into battle together, even Baishu changed into coarse cloth to help out.

When he was rubbing the salt mixed with spices evenly on a piece of tenderloin, Bai Baoshan suddenly found him in the door and asked him to go to his house.

Bai Shu didn't have time to change her clothes, so she washed her hands and followed Bai Baoshan out.

While walking on the road, Bai Shu inquired with Bai Baoshan, only to find out that Bai Laosan's family had died, and seven or seven years later, the property left by them would now have to be distributed.

For Bai Laosan's property, Bai Shu naturally doesn't take it seriously, but according to the rules of Baitang Village, Bai Laosan has no offspring, so his inheritance must be left to his closest relatives, and Bai Shu is his closest relative. one of my relatives.

If only Bai Shu was alone, this matter would be easy to deal with. On the day of Bai Laosan's burial, a meeting can be held to settle the matter.

But apart from Baishu, the Bai family has another relative, but this relative has left Baitang Village for several years and settled down in Fucheng.

Even after more than a month, Baibaoshan took a lot of effort to ask the Bai family to find this person in Fucheng.

This person can be regarded as having a small family business in Fucheng now, and he doesn't bother to associate with Bai Laosan's family.It was also because of what the man said, that Bai Laosan's family left nearly a hundred taels of property, and they returned to the village with the tribe.

When Bai Shu arrived at Baibaoshan's house, he saw men and women sitting on stone benches. These people looked arrogant and were all wearing fine cotton clothes.

There is a middle-aged man in the middle, who seems to have passed forty years, but his face is delicate, and his face is five points similar to Bai Laosan.

"Bai Shu, come and meet, this is your second uncle." Bai Baoshan pointed to the middle-aged man and said.

That man is the second son of Bai, the second son of the Bai family who has been away from home for a long time.

Although Bai Lao Er is older than Bai Lao San, but because he doesn't need to farm, he looks younger.

Sitting next to him was a woman in her forties, and there were four young men and women standing beside him.At this moment, the four of them looked at Bai Zhu, looked him up and down at his coarse clothes, with a hint of contempt in their eyes.

The author has something to say: Baishu has handed in his salary...

Regarding the prices in the article, many people probably think why it is so cheap in the countryside and so expensive in the city?

Because it is overhead, the prices of many things are estimated.When the author made the estimate, he referred to the price of a relatively modern dynasty, so I won’t say what dynasty it was.

The gap between rich and poor in ancient times was really huge.Poor families may not even be able to afford a pair of trousers.When it was cold in winter, the whole family sat at home, and only those who wanted to go out had pants to wear.

But rich people, such as the corrupt official He Shen, his family property was estimated to be 8 million taels of silver, and 220 pure gold spittoons were found in the house.And when the fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty was only 6000 million taels, when Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River, the officials got a silver silk spittoon to please him.

In our Daxuan Dynasty, Baitang Village is just a remote village, so the prices of various commodities and labor in the village are relatively low, referring to the living standards of rural people in a certain dynasty.But the price of goods in the city is much higher. After all, it is a prefectural city or a capital city. There are so many local tyrants, and the price cannot be the same as that in the village.

Because there is a huge gap between money and prices in different dynasties in ancient times, when you read it, you may think that the last time I read a certain dynasty, the prices in a certain book were like this, and they are like that in this book.

This is the difference caused by the different dynasties that each author refers to. Don’t get too entangled in this. If you see something that you don’t understand, just turn a blind eye and close your eyes, and just read the text easily~
