Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Li Haitang reflected on herself, she was just too lazy to bother thinking about some things, but during this trip to Kyoto, she actually didn't experience much, so she suddenly thought about it for no reason.

Making money is the top priority. No matter how good your reputation is, it is useless without money.

She didn't plan to make a profit at the medical clinic, but she didn't want to lose too much either. She couldn't keep holding her back. There was a certain limit to whether too much was too much or too little.

For poor people, medical treatment fees and medicinal materials are reduced or exempted when necessary, and credit is given if possible. Then when they are rich, they can find money to make up for it. They cannot always think that their family is a charity hall. After all, its strength is not enough to let the common people The extent of publicly funded medical care.

Li Haitang still had some money in hand, which was mostly earned by her husband. Part of her medical fees were jewelry, and the other small part was gold and silver. Almost all of it was invested in Yue Hetang in the later period.

This time she arrived in Kyoto, not to mention that she would be able to do something big, but she had already thought of several ideas, and if she had the chance, she would definitely make a pot of gold.

"Madam, what are you thinking about?"

From the moment he entered the inn, Xiao Lingchuan found that his wife had been distracted. She didn't even hear Bean Bao's request to fan herself.

He had no choice but to take Li Haitang's round fan and go down to the ground to fan the bean buns. He felt at a loss for the energetic little buns and quickly coaxed him to sleep. He would also receive a wave of rewards in the evening.

"Thinking about making money."

Li Haitang raised her head and blinked. She realized that she was making money with a hammer and a stick, but she had not found the point at all.

If you want to make a lot of money, there is no way, and it is impossible without a backstage, so you can only accumulate it bit by bit. In short, the family needs manpower now.

When arriving in Kyoto, it is impossible for a family to live in Zhuangzi all the time. They have to buy private property. Land in Kyoto is very expensive. I heard that a two-story house in the inner city costs ten thousand taels of silver. Many officials cannot afford it. Since then, the whole family has been renting in a small courtyard, which is not as comfortable as an old farmer in the countryside.

"Ji Qiu's shop is in a good location, right next to an academy in Kyoto."

As soon as it got dark, Xiao Lingchuan felt a little restless. He tried his best to steady his mind, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the box, sat across from his wife, and drew the layout of the shop.

Li Haitang held his chin with one hand. The savage husband lowered his head and pursed his lips tightly. The last afterglow of the sunset hit him. Half of his face was reflected in the fiery red halo, making his cold outline appear slightly softer. Some.

The scar at the corner of his eye was hidden in the shadows on the other side, and there was a light mint fragrance all over his body.

Li Haitang fixed her gaze on the purse around Xiao Lingchuan's waist. Inside was the mint leaves she had placed. If the two of them were out, the mint leaves could repel mosquitoes and soak in water to relieve the heat.

"Madam, look."

In just a few breaths, Xiao Lingchuan had already mapped out the location of Ji Qiu's shop.

The wine shop is located near a busy street in the outer city of Kyoto, and not far from the street is one of the most famous academies in Kyoto, Shohe Academy.

"Songhe Academy? I seem to have heard my cousin mention it."

It turned out that the headmaster of Songhe Academy was her grandfather Ruan Laoshang, and he was later changed. It is said that many of the students who graduated from Songhe Academy were able to pass the Jinshi examination and be sent abroad to serve as officials, which was second only to the Imperial College.

Songhe Academy is not a closed institution. Of course, it also has accommodation facilities for students coming from afar.

Most people study in the academy day in and day out, coming in the morning and going back in the evening. Many people nearby are renting houses, and their families come to study with them.

Therefore, the street where Jiqiu Liquor Shop is located is prosperous, surrounded by restaurants, bookstores, restaurants, pen, ink, paper and inkstone shops, and grocery stores. It is like a business district in the surrounding area.

"Yes, that's the academy."

Xiao Lingchuan nodded. Although Songhe Academy was very famous, people had to rely on their true talents to get into the academy. Of course, there were also some rich kids from wealthy families who had gone through the back door.

Among scholars, Lu Yuanqing's family was from a poor family, but according to the conditions of the Lu family, it was considered a wealthy family in the village.

At least the Lu family has land and a house. Lu Yuanqing can study, and can afford to pay Shu Xiu. People who are too poor can't afford food, how can they pay for pens, ink, paper, and inkstones?

Printing in this era was mainly woodblock printing. One book and one mold required huge investment of manpower and material resources. Because of the high initial cost, the template could only be used for one book, so the cost increased greatly. Ordinary thousand-character texts , and also a few taels of silver.

For ordinary people at home, they can only buy used books that others have used, which is relatively cheaper.

In short, those who can come to Songhe Academy to study cannot be considered to be truly poor. There are very few people from the village, unless they are the sons of landlords.

"Scholars like to be arty. Baihua Liquor has a low alcohol content and a strong aroma without being intoxicating. Therefore, Ji Qiu's business is acceptable."

Ji Qiu decided to change hands of a wine shop that was doing well. He and Lan Yi discussed it. Neither of them liked an environment that was too complicated, especially since Lan Yi once worked as a maid in the Zhang family, and she didn't really want to go back to Kyoto. .

Ji Qiu also had the same idea. After working hard, all he wanted was his wife and children. Now that he had everything, he just wanted to stay away from the place of right and wrong.

He had no intention of managing the shop as it stood, and he really couldn't control the people under his command who were evil-minded, cheating, and stealing money from behind their backs.

"I always feel like I'm taking advantage."

Li Haitang could only give Ji Qiu a high price based on the market price in Kyoto. After she became the owner of the shop, she would not have much money left.

Fortunately, she had a sum of money from Liusu Tou Charity Hall in her hand. Charity Hall didn't need that much in the early stage. She could borrow some and make up for it when the turnover came over.

When the shop opens, she will write to Liusu to explain.

"Madam, have you ever thought about what kind of business you want to do?"

Xiao Lingchuan saw that his wife was interested and strongly supported her. He thought that she was just a three-minute sensation, just like the medical clinic, and he became the salesperson in less than a month.

In short, it's good that the lady is happy. If he loses money, at worst, he will think of ways to make some money.

"There are academies around. It would be best to open a Chu Guan. I just don't know where to find those girls."

Li Haitang said, stood up and bent down, hooking the savage husband's chin with his hand, "Come on, give me a smile!"

Xiao Lingchuan raised his head, his eyes were deep, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

His gaze was captivating, staring at Li Haitang's collar and squinting.

"No, not sure."

Li Haitang surrendered very spinelessly. She learned her lesson last time. She flirted with her savage husband. Of course, he cooperated. Without saying a word, he tore her dress from the collar and threw her away. Got to bed.

The next day, her back and legs ached, and she lay down and didn't get up until noon. Thinking of his painful experience, Li Haitang felt that he could not turn over.
