The skilled widow is busy farming

Chapter 61

It was cold, and there was no one idle in the village. Li Rui had a good chat with the clan elders, and became more and more convinced of the reward and punishment system Xiu Niang had given to the clan, one of which was the key to the competition system.

Only with competition can you have the motivation to learn well and work hard. People who are too comfortable can easily cause trouble.

In addition to the tavern, Li Jing also had to worry about the winery and clan affairs. He also began to follow his father Li Mao and a group of brothers to get involved in clan affairs. The clan belongs to everyone, not the village chief alone, and everyone has to work hard.

This year, I have been busy building the winery, comparing it over and over again, and then building it. How to save money, save every piece of wood, how to develop in the long run, how much to reserve, so as not to waste money and consider the future. Unhindered business operations, etc.

These are all done by Li Feng, Li Mao, Li Jing, Li Song and other descendants of the family. The more they work, the faster the children grow up. This winery has gathered everyone's hard work and hard work, and is the expectation of the whole village. Xiu Niang is not the only one who has to pay.

This also made the children more sensible and actively participate in clan affairs. Uncle Li and the clan elders observed carefully in private and selected the next generation of village chiefs and clan elders who were suitable for training.

And the children of Ethnic Studies are not idle either. In fact, they have made rapid progress this year. The children have become more sensible and understand that money is hard to make. Generally speaking, they do a good job in accounting and general affairs. They make mistakes but they are serious and careful. , even those who lack experience work hard.

After a few days of wandering, they were brought back after a beating. The girls studied harder and harder, participated in more settlements, family banquets, favors, gifts, housekeeping, etc., and learned more seriously.

They work harder than boys and understand Xiu Niang's painstaking efforts better. They are willing to endure the hardship in order to gain a foothold in their husband's family and live a better life for themselves in the future.

As for the boys, with the comparison of the girls, the pressure is greater than before. They dare not slack off. The sisters who cannot recognize all the words and make typos are better than them. They work carefully, but they can't do as well as the sisters. This is so embarrassing.

In addition, there is a reward and punishment system, and pen and ink books and other items are rewarded for good work, which also makes everyone feel more involved and more motivated.

Now Uncle Li asked each of them to take money and start learning how to buy, what good things are affordable, and further learn how to manage money and spend money wisely.

One person takes the lead in getting the money, and the others do the errands.

This is a lot of pressure. I spend dozens of taels of silver to buy things in one breath. I am excited but also very worried. What if I buy the wrong thing and it is too expensive? , they have personally experienced how hard it is, and understand better than anyone else how hard it is to sweat on the ground and break into eight pieces.

I have become more cautious in my actions. During the purchasing process, I have gained an understanding of the market conditions, gained a concept of money, and know how to use it, so that I can do big things with a small amount of money.

In this Qian school, children, regardless of age, can learn something once. It saves adults a lot of trouble because they don't have to do everything themselves, and can free up time to do other things.

Ethnic studies teach children more and more brilliantly, and there is a trend of diversified development. Children who are not very talented in reading have to consider what they can do in the future, and they must support themselves.

Learning a craft is one of them, learning general affairs is a must, farming is also necessary, learning to do accounting, and you can also think about accounting. Isn't the way out for the future gradually revealed? The road is made by people.

The clan members saw that their children were becoming more and more distinguished, and they became more respectful to the clan, clan scholars and clan elders. Their centripetal force towards the clan was stronger than before, and there was almost no question or objection to beating them wherever they were directed.

Now Uncle Li's prestige is no less than that of the clan leader. He always sticks to his word, and the villagers are scared when he stares at him, and they basically dare not refute his words.

Li Rui followed his cousin from the Zhou family to his overseas residence to do paperwork. It was also considered a study tour to see the outside world.

Xiuniang took a rest for the autumn, and the winter was cold and snowed for the first time. The Zhou family ordered a large amount of wine, and even agreed on the wine for next spring. After paying the deposit, the wine shop has initially established a firm foothold.

The winery is working hard and there is almost no one idle.

She was teaching two girls how to make tapestry fans at home, and she planned to make a few fans to sell. This was a small and easy thing to make, and could be made in three or two months, and could be sold at a good price.

"Xiu Niang."

"Second Aunt, you're back. Come and sit in the room. It's freezing. Qing'er is going to get a bowl of hot soup."

"Here we come." Aunt Xu came back from outside and stamped the snow and mud on her feet at the door.

After entering the house, I drank a bowl of hot soup, took a breath, and then said: "Dad, Mom, you asked me to ask about the fields and shops."

"Tell me."

"That's right. There is a shop in a prosperous area of ​​the city. The price is high. It is a shop itself. It has a good location with a backyard and a spacious place. It is a big shop."

"There is also a farm in Qianjia Village, which was sold by a squire. It is a complete farm with [-] acres of land, almost all of which is good land. There are only [-] acres of second-class land. It also has a piece of woodland close to our woodland. It's not far away, and Zhuangzi has all the items and styles. A good Zhuangzi can be used without much tidying up, but the price is not low, and the price is not compromised."

Grandpa closed his eyes slightly and thought in his mind.

"Xiu'er, which one do you like?"

Xiu Niang thought for a while and then said: "Grandpa, I prefer Zhuangzi. Although it is expensive, it can be used. It will be promising in the coming year, and you can do a lot of things with the forest land."

"The shop is not bad, good location and good location."

"I can't eat it in one breath, and our family is short of resources, so I thought about going to the winery first. Five hundred acres of fields produce a lot of grain. The winery uses grain to make wine, so I can buy less grain and save costs. It’s the same as making money back, you see.”

"What does the second child say?"

"The boss also said that he is optimistic about Zhuangzi. We can wait for a while to open the shop. You can also choose a shop and open a wine shop directly."

Aunt Xu learned what the man said.

"Choose the farm. It will be in Brother Chun's name this time. Don't bully him for being young and ignorant. Brother Qun will talk about it next time."

Grandpa also didn’t forget his youngest great-grandson.

"Grandpa, I think it will be in my mother's name so that my mother can feel at ease."

The group of brothers smiled.

"Okay, then I'll put it in Xiuniang's name. With this Zhuangzi, even if you two are not filial, it will be enough to support you in your old age."

Grandpa smiled happily.

"Grandpa, how can I be unfilial to my mother if I don't use oblique insults?"

The group of brothers pouted and were unhappy.

"Okay, you are the best. You and your brother will go and buy this village tomorrow. Look at it first before buying it. Come back and tell me how to organize it. You little ones can go and mess around with this village. Don't let your mother have to work hard."

"Understood, leave it to me."

Xiu Niang went to the house and gave him money, which was the money she got from selling jewelry last time. When Qiu Qiu was free, she drew another picture. It was the shopkeeper who asked someone to come to her to ask for a picture. The last picture sold well. The shopkeeper made a fortune and was praised by the owner, who was very happy.

The money from selling jewelry twice was enough to buy a good shop. I chose to buy a farm instead of a shop or a shop.
