After The Divorce, I Became the Favorite of the Powerful Ministers

Chapter 50 Luckily, She's Stronger

Xiao Hanzheng knew that sugar cane could be used to make sugar.

"This beet can also make sugar?"

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Of course, apart from sugar cane, sugar beets are good."

The raw materials for modern sugar production are mainly these two.

"Let's dig some home first and make some sugar first."

"Then hire someone to dig all these sugar beets back, and then let the people in the village open up some land to grow sugar beets. We can pay for them and open a sugar workshop."

Regarding agricultural science, Shi Qingluo himself is an expert.

"Opening a few more workshops can also promote the development of our village and nearby villages, so that everyone can live a good life and tie our interests to us."

In ancient times, it was very important to have a good reputation, to unite all interests that can be united, and do not underestimate the power of the people.

For example, not many people know about you, and no one cares when someone dies.

But if the entire county knows you, and the interests of most people are tied together by you.

If something happens to you, even if these people are not harmed for their own interests, they must speak up and reach out to help.

Xiao Hanzheng understood the meaning of the little daughter-in-law as soon as he heard it.

This is very good, I made money myself, and also led other people to make money and develop together.

If you want to open various workshops, you can't do it without hiring people.

Lele alone is not as good as everyone, so that it is not easy to be envied by everyone, or be regarded as a thorn in the flesh by jealousy.

On the contrary, because everyone's interests are tied together, they can maintain a good relationship.

He nodded and smiled: "Okay!"

Whether it's lacquer or sugar, it's expensive, and it's still very profitable to open a workshop.

The two dug beets together and filled the baskets before returning down the mountain.

Xiao Hanzheng took the initiative to lead Shi Qingluo away, "Where do you want to build a house?"

"I suggest that it is better to open a workshop on the old house. We can choose a new place to build a new house."

The memory of the old house left him is not very good.

Shi Qingluo said with a smile, "I'm already optimistic about a place. Not only is the environment good, but it's also good for our papermaking."

"Isn't there a wild bamboo forest near the river? We can buy it all, and the new house will be built in the open space in the middle of the bamboo forest."

"Being in a bamboo forest, the environment is also very elegant. A small paper workshop is built next to it, and the materials are also around, so that others don't know that we use bamboo as the material for papermaking."

"The chopped bamboo can be replanted. It's better to buy all that hillside and plant it all with bamboo."

Xiao Hanzheng is a scholar, even if he learned martial arts and killed the enemy in his previous life, he still prefers elegant things.

Therefore, I support Shi Qingluo's proposal, "Okay, the new house surrounded by bamboo forests is very artistic."

Shi Qingluo said: "We bought the mountain behind the old house and used it for farming."

She added: "After talking like this, we are quite short of money."

It's just a lack of upfront money.

If the breeding mountain and these workshops are built and operated, there is no need to worry about making money.

Xiao Hanzheng said with a smile, "Just take it slow, let's build a house first."

He now wants to give his daughter-in-law, mother, younger siblings, a comfortable living environment and life.

Shi Qingluo agreed, "Old Xiao, we can always think of it together."

Xiao Hanzheng chuckled: "Who made us husband and wife?"

Shi Qing frowned and smiled, "That's right, husband and wife work together to cut the money."

She thought about it and asked, "Are you going to study in the county town in the future?"

Learning at home is behind closed doors, and it is not easy to excel even if you are a genius.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "I'm going to report to the county school next month."

"Soon there will be a high-ranking first-rank official, a former champion, to visit relatives in the county town."

"And I will go to the county school for a period of time. I want to see if I can worship each other as a teacher."

"It's not difficult for me to test people, but it's not easy to go further. My knowledge is still a lot worse."

In his previous life, because he missed the way to continue taking the imperial examinations, and later attained a high position, he read the examination questions every year after he dropped out of school.

He used these test questions to write his own articles and show them to others, and the evaluations he got were all lacking.

What he lacks is the guidance of famous teachers, whether it is to go to the county school to have teaching and class guidance, or to worship a talented teacher in the belly.

Shi Qingluo agreed, "It would be really good if I could worship the other party as a teacher."

Guidance by famous teachers is also very important in modern times, otherwise why would everyone want to go to a famous school?

The high-ranking officer of the first grade who made his official career knows the court very well, and he is also the first-ranked scholar, and his knowledge must be very high.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: "Well, I will try hard."

It is naturally the best to be able to worship the other party as a teacher. If you can't, it's nothing.

Shi Qingluo raised his hand and made a gesture of encouragement to him, "I support you!"

Xiao Hanzheng held her hand tightly, "Thank you lady!"

In this life, he finally stopped fighting alone, and it felt so good.

Today, more people in the village sell tofu, but they are all sold out.

The three brothers of Xiao Dashu’s family also borrowed a donkey cart and rushed to the county town to sell.

county people

I was more willing to eat it, so the sixty catties of tofu were sold out at noon.

This made them even more excited, and as soon as they returned to the village to publicize, more people were tempted.

More people want to buy it back and resell it, so more people order tofu today.

The three brothers Xiao Dashu set an additional 100 jin this time.

People from nearby villages also heard about tofu as a food, and some people came to exchange tofu early the next morning, or bought it for resale.

The workload of the few people who came to make tofu has increased greatly, and some people want to sell tofu or sell it to their family after finishing their work.

Shi Qingluo wanted to improve their enthusiasm for work. After all, selling tofu is obviously easier to make money than making tofu.

Therefore, they promised that as long as their family members came to get tofu, they would be counted as three cents if they bought more than ten pounds.

That is, if they sell tofu, they can earn two cents more per pound than others.

But you need to work in the workshop all the time. If you leave, this benefit will be cancelled.

There were still some people who wanted to sell tofu, but now they no longer hesitate, and of course they continue to do it.

Because tofu is easy to sell, all the tofu made in the morning was sold out, and some people didn't get it.

Everyone kept telling Mother Xiao to let her bring people to do more tomorrow.

Mother Xiao agreed leisurely. The business of the tofu workshop was getting better day by day, which made her more motivated.

Not long after the tofu was sold, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo went to the county seat.

The two went there by ox cart, and there were people in the next village who specialized in pulling the ox cart into the county town for a living.

It takes about an hour to walk to the county seat, and the ox cart does not save much time, but it is not necessary to walk.

After getting off the bus at the county seat, Shi Qingluo rubbed his numb waist, "When we have money, let's go buy a carriage."

It takes twenty or thirty minutes for the carriage to travel to and from the county seat.

If it wasn't in a crowded place in the county seat, Xiao Hanzheng would have reached out and rubbed his daughter-in-law's waist, "Okay, buy it!"

When Shi Qingluo heard his arrogant words, he was overjoyed.

Fortunately, she started to be strong first, and no one was cheap.
