Chapter 54 Equity
The imperial examination failed repeatedly, and the expenses caused made Xu Xiucai's life even more embarrassing.

Mr. Xu paused while drinking the red date porridge. He looked at Bai Gui's face and spoke sincerely. He froze and took another sip of the porridge, chewing the red dates. Picked ones are sweeter, and the tongue is full of rice fragrance.

He couldn't afford to hire Western language teachers for the subject of translation.

Going to a higher school to learn Western language, he couldn't bear to study with a group of dolls.

"Let's teach!"

Xu Xiucai licked the porridge bowl, licking every grain of rice clean and clean, he repeated a few times, as if he had strengthened his belief, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and carefully cleaned the jujube core. Throw it into a small bamboo cage, which has been filled with many date pits.

"In this life, I have passed the difficult exams. It is my blessing to teach a few students, and a few students who can become talents."

He got up, said goodbye to Bai Gui, and walked to the opposite school where the sound of reading was loud.

Poetry and books are in my ears.

"The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is prehistoric."

"The sun and the moon are in full bloom, and the celestial places are listed."

……

After returning home, Bai Gui and a group of classmates went to see the white pheasant raised in the family.

The breeding place is the willow grove where they went on an outing, and it is also the place where they "discovered" wild eggs. This place is open and flat, and it also nourishes many insects, which can be used as feed for white pheasants.

The chicken shepherd was invited from the next county.It is said that gamecocks were once raised.Fighting cocks are different from ordinary chickens. A chicken costs a few taels of silver, or even tens of taels of silver.

But now most of the nobles who walk birds and fight cocks are dilapidated and lonely, and Zhou chicken farmers who raise game chickens have no way to survive. They eat a meal and are hungry. They were introduced by Mr. Zhu's friends and became chicken farmers in Bailu Village.

"If he dares to secretly keep our chicken breeds, see if he still has a way to survive on the plain or nearby!"

Bai Jiaxuan smoked a dry cigarette and said to Bai Gui.

He was referring to the breed of white pheasant, which can lay golden eggs. 24 hours a day, he sent people from Bailu Village to monitor the chicken farmer.Once it is found that something is wrong, it will be ruthless.

This seems to be contrary to the benevolence and righteousness of Bailu Village.

But this is the norm at this time.

Fighting for water can be fought with weapons, and the number of casualties is unknown, not to mention the breeding of white pheasants.

No matter how benevolent and righteous he is, he must be red-eyed.

"Uh, what I mean is, can we wait for the future to expand the breeding, one by one chicken coops are all raised with white pheasants, and it is still too slow to raise them in free range now..."

Bai Gui put forward his suggestion in due course.

Regardless of whether his suggestion is useful or not, when it is implemented, it is these elders who are in charge. If it is really useful, they will definitely follow it. If it is useless, they will not go against their own financial resources.

"Okay, take note of this."

Bai Jiaxuan nodded in agreement.

"See if you can marry a girl from our Bailu Village to Zhou Jiwan. If there is a widow in any family, see if you can marry Zhou Jiwan. It's not a problem to keep on guard against him."

Hearing that Zhou Jiwan didn't seem to be married yet and was still a bachelor, Bai Gui became interested.

At this time, the in-laws are reliable, and it is not a good thing to be on guard against outsiders all the time.As for widows, there is so-called chastity in the village, but as long as they don't steal people without authorization, remarriage is also a reasonable thing, and few people talk about it.

Stealing people is corrupting the village.It has nothing to do with whether the widow is single or not.In the current law, a widow belongs to her husband's family, and if she does not remarry, she must keep chastity for her husband.But if you remarry, you have to get the permission of your husband's parents and your own elders, which does not violate secular morality, but gossip is still indispensable.

"Row!"

Bai Jiaxuan hesitated for a while, and then agreed to the matter.

There are not many widows in Bailu Village, so if anyone has the intention of remarrying, just ask.With the skill of raising chickens, it is quite easy to find a wife in Bailu Village.

"By the way, Guiwazi, your father is illiterate, and he said that he will wait for you to come back to talk about the share distribution."

Back at the ancestral hall, Bai Jiaxuan took out the contract, which was written about family property and share distribution.

The joint-stock system had been introduced to the Qing court in the 30s. Under the advocacy of the Westernization School in the 80s, there was an upsurge of investing in joint-stock enterprises everywhere.For example, the Dasheng Spinning Mill run by Zhang Jian, the number one scholar, is a joint-stock enterprise.

Bai Gui picked up the contract and looked at it. The profit allocated to his own family was [-]% and half. The Lu family who took out the secret recipe for making gourd chicken got [-]% and the patriarch Bai's family also got [-]%. [-]% belonged to all Bailu villagers, and there were more detailed divisions.

"Yes! I'm quite satisfied with the amount of this contract, but the other half of the amount will be donated to the Bailu Academy in our county. Each of our three families has [-]% of the shares. You are in charge, you don’t participate in this matter..."

He said.

The contract seemed to be taking advantage of him, but it actually gave him a lot of profit, because his family didn't have any start-up capital, and only the white pheasant breeders raised, it was fair enough to account for [-]% of the shares.

As for the twenty silver dollars given by the county government, this amount of money is a drop in the bucket for doing business!
The Lu family is the world's number one scoop of gourd chicken, and has a secret recipe for gourd chicken. It has a certain reputation in the whole Qin Province, and it also spent a certain amount of money to do this. [-]% of the shares are reasonable.

And the patriarch's family accounted for [-]% of the shares, which is also reasonable. It is also a matter of whether Mr. Zhu is willing to protect or not.

"Donate to the academy, how about that!"

Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin looked at each other and nodded.

This suggestion is also good.

What kind of place is Bailu Academy? It is a government-run academy in the county, and there are all students and scholars in it. This relationship is almost all over the county. With this kind of relationship, at least it will not be hindered in the county.

At the same time, they feel a lot more comfortable in their hearts.Each family accounts for [-]%, which is quite balanced, and no one is superior to the other.

"Since the two uncles have agreed, this matter is settled."

Bai Gui smiled, this contract seems to have many disadvantages of future generations, but under the secular morality, it is the most suitable contract.He also has no intention of competing for these petty profits.

Have the right to have money!
This is the society of the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, not the bourgeois society of the West. Even the society of the West is the collusion of money and power.No matter how rich you are, you are just a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered.

"Okay! Guiwazi is worthy of being a person who has read the book, and he is magnificent!"

Several people in the conference room praised Bai Gui, and they were also satisfied with the result. Whoever is willing to work hard is better than those who sit back and enjoy the profits.
