Gu Yunji was a little helpless about his dividend proposal being strongly opposed by the two: "Don't worry, listen to me first. It seems that what I provide is the key technology, but it only plays a big role in the early stage. As long as the hot pepper is promoted Come on, the chili sauce recipe, chili planting, etc. that I can give is worthless."

"Besides, I'm an official of the imperial court. I don't know how long I can stay in the position of judge. Once I am transferred from the Syrian state capital, I can't do anything except get the dividends on time every year. At that time, I will have to rely on you to support me for nothing. I."

"From the beginning to the end, buying raw materials, making chili sauce, opening a shop... It is up to you to worry about it. You are the ones who have contributed the most. I just sit back and make a profit, and a share of the dividend is enough."

Gu Yunji is a child of an aristocratic family. Although the family is not as wealthy as a big businessman like Fan Li, they are not short of money.What's more, his daily life is not extravagant, so it is useless to ask for too much money, on the contrary, it may cause disasters, and be misunderstood that he is corrupt and accepting bribes.

That being said, Zhang Cuiying still hesitated: "Without you..."

"The reason why I share dividends like this is another very important point." Before Zhang Cuiying continued to refuse, Gu Yunji made a gesture to signal her to stop, "The two of you have helped me a lot with the promotion and planting of yams, especially Fan Yuanwai. , and even spent a full 5000 taels of silver to buy fine seeds."

"Although the promotion of yams is beneficial to the common people, that is the primary responsibility of my general judge. As members of the common people, you two took the initiative to take up the righteousness and gave so much selflessly, so you should be rewarded."

Gu Yunji looked at Fan Li and Zhang Cuiying, and said sincerely: "However, the fine varieties of yams bought will be distributed to the people for free in the future, and the government will not collect taxes for the short-term harvest. I myself can't get any real benefits from it, let alone Qualified to represent the Syrian state government to pay the two."

"I, Gu Yunji, don't think I'm an ungrateful person. The two of you helped me. If I don't repay me, my conscience will be disturbed. I have nothing else to do. The dividends of this business should be used to express my feelings Thank you, please accept it both of you."

As he said that, Gu Yunji bowed his hands and bowed slightly to the two of them.

There was a gap in status between the officials and the people. Gu Yunji was worried that Zhang Cuiying and Fan Li would not dare to accept it, so he didn't pay too much respect.

Even so, Gu Yunji's action still shocked the two of them, especially Zhang Cuiying, who almost knelt down on the spot in panic: "How can this be so, Mr. Gu! You are a lord, and I am just a grassroots person, so I should kowtow to you ! Master Gu’s dismissal of my gift is a flattery to me, how dare I accept your gift? Isn’t this a shame for me!”

Gu Yunji held her arm to prevent her from kneeling down, insisted on bowing and saluted, and simply said: "You two are unwilling to accept such a dividend, I don't know how to repay, my conscience is really disturbed, not to mention doing this salute, even at night it is difficult Pillow!"

Fan Li had no choice but to hold his hand while turning sideways to avoid receiving the gift, and said anxiously: "Okay, okay, I promise, I promise! Master Gu, please stop doing this!"

Hearing these words, Gu Yunji straightened up and stopped insisting.

Zhang Cuiying didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "Master Gu, why are you doing this? If you get more dividends, you get more money, isn't it good? This is what you deserve."

Gu Yunji said frankly: "There is no right or wrong, only what should be done and what should not be done. Yu Gong, I am the general judge of the Xuzhou government, and I should do a good job in the promotion of yams and peppers. Yu private, you have helped me. You have given me a lot of support, even if I can't represent the government to reward you, I should give back in my own name as much as I can."

As he said that, he joked again: "Besides, this is dividends and not cash. Don't act like I have suffered a lot. If this pepper business is not successful, I will not only return it in another way, but also find ways to make up for it. It’s a deficit. If you two are really thinking about me, you should try your best to manage the business well, and don’t let me put money in it!”

Fan Li looked at Gu Yunji with complicated eyes, hesitated to speak for a long time, finally sighed, and said with emotion: "Master Gu, it is Fan's good fortune to meet you."

Fan Li traveled all over the world and dealt with many officials, but he had never met an official like Gu Yunji.Not only is he knowledgeable and knowledgeable about foreign crops such as yams and peppers, but he can also take the initiative to give up profits when he has key knowledge and core technologies.

Gu Yunji is not a saint, he just came from a previous life, and he has a little more insight into the development of history than contemporary people.

After seeing the advanced social system and science and technology in the previous life, as long as you are not extremely selfish, you can cultivate some vision of "the world is for the public". Compared with the development of human beings and the well-being of the people, gold, silver, etc. Worldly interests are really hard to confuse him.

Doing a little more can save one more person and live one more person. With such an idea and the foresight consciousness from modern times, it is difficult for others to imagine how much energy and motivation Gu Yunji has in his heart.

After all, it is still the same sentence - seek your own government in your position.

After discussing dividends and various specific matters, the next thing to do is to purchase peppers and prepare to open a shop.

Zhang Cuiying was in charge of the business of the shop and the workers, while Fan Li was busy buying peppers along the coast and opening up transportation channels. Gu Yunji was not idle either. Even if he didn't have to worry about the pepper business, he was too busy with the government's daily business. Stained.

The ordinary days passed day by day, Xu Zhenzhi stayed at home for half a month, and was ready to continue his journey.Gu Zhaoxi was bored at home every day, his father was busy with official duties, and his mother was busy with housework. It was rare that there was a patient and well-informed elder who was willing to play with her. Finally, half a month of happy days passed.

Knowing that Xu Zhenzhi was going to leave, Gu Zhaoxi was very reluctant, but after all, he was a little older than Su Qi when he left, and he no longer cried so emotionally.He just looked at the other party with red eye circles, his small mouth shrunk, and without saying a word, tears fell down.

Xu Zhenzhi's heart ached when he saw it, and he immediately let go of his burden and decided to stay for two more days.However, if he stayed for two more days, he still had to leave. On the day of farewell, Xu Zhenzhi was so cruel that he didn't want to see Gu Zhaoxi's tears, and finally left.

In the blink of an eye, autumn came, and Zhang Cuiying planted the [-] catties of potatoes reserved in spring. More than a month later, when the late rice was harvested, the potatoes also broke through the soil and sprouted.

Zhang Cuiying found all the shop workers, and the only thing left was to make the raw materials for chili sauce.Fan Li was still buying peppers along the coast. Although he hadn't come back yet, he had sent back some pepper seeds and was going to try to cultivate them in the Syrian state capital.

However, not long after Zhang Cuiying planted the peppers, an unexpected incident occurred: the natives came down the mountain again to make trouble.
