The happy little days of the Ye family

Back in the room, Ye's father and Ye's mother also began to take stock of their family's assets.

In fact, Ye's mother has wanted to take inventory for a long time, but it's just that Ye's father hasn't gotten back the money from the grocery store this month, so it's been postponed until now.

Ever since Ye's mother learned to keep accounts, she has recorded every income and expense of the family one by one.

If you want to take stock of your money, you don’t need to dig out all the money and count it. Just look at the ledger.

Of course, Mother Ye will not ignore the hidden silver.

Mother Ye put some small silk threads in the place where the silver was hidden, and Mother Ye would check to see if these silk threads were messed up every now and then.

Mother Ye is not so stupid as to just put silk thread where the silver is hidden. That means there is no 300 taels of silver in this place.

Mother Ye put some silk threads in every corner of the house to hide people's eyes and ears.

Anyway, Mother Ye makes embroidery every day. The most common thing in the house is all kinds of silk threads. It is normal to have silk threads in the house.

Mother Ye opened the last page of the account book, looked at the money saved on it, and couldn't help but smile brightly.

"After years of hard work, our little family has now saved a total of 243 taels of silver."

All the money from the public school was used to buy shops and houses, and a large amount of money was spent this year to knock down the old house and rebuild it, so the money in the public account was not much.

As for the private money of Ye's mother and Ye's father, except for the large sum they took out when they bought the house, most of the money they earned later was saved.

Mother Ye opened the account book and showed it to Father Ye, "The most profitable thing this year is the rabbit fur coat."

The Ye family's rabbit shed raised many rabbits. Father Ye saved all the rabbit skins and made them into rabbit fur coats. After autumn, he sold them to merchants in the north. Father Ye made a huge profit.

In addition to rabbit skins, Ye's mother's embroidery and Ye's father's braised pork stall and braised pork shop are also profitable businesses.

Together, they can save several taels of silver every month.

Mother Ye watched the number in the account book getting bigger and bigger, feeling both happy and a little worried.

"My family has saved more than 200 taels of silver now. Do you want to use this money to buy property?"

"I keep my money at home, and I'm always worried that someone will come and steal it."

Although there are two ferocious wolf dogs at home, and there are usually people at home, Ye's mother still feels uneasy.

She and Father Ye had worked hard to save this money for more than ten years. If a thief took away the money, Mother Ye would probably go crazy.

The family had too much money, but Mother Ye still thought it would be safer to exchange it for family property.

Father Ye also wants to buy property. Although the family has a lot of property, these were purchased by Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye.

Even Ye Qingqing bought his own small shop, and Ye's father also wanted to use his own money to buy property.

"This money is too much. It's really not safe to leave it at home. I'll discuss it with my parents tomorrow."

Old Mrs. Ye had previously asked Father Ye to make his own decisions in the future, but for such a big matter as buying a house, Father Ye was in a state of uneasiness and still had to ask Mr. Ye and Old Mrs. Ye to make decisions.

Ye's mother and Ye's father had just finished counting the family's private money. Separated by a wall, the Tang family's father and son were also taking stock of the family's money.

Tangshan has been a good fighter since he was a child and has never been to school.

Tang Xiaojing had been studying for three years, but he still had to doze off every day. The little things he learned in school had long been returned to his master.

It is impossible for the Tang family's father and son to keep a ledger to keep accounts like the Ye family did.

After the new house was built, father and son Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing studied it for a long time, and finally dug two small secret compartments in their respective houses specifically for storing silver and valuables.

Although the father and son made the secret grid together, the other party only knew the location, and the two of them figured out how to open it.

There are two secret pavilions in Tang Xiaojing's house, one is on the wall behind the wardrobe, and the other is on the beam.

The hidden compartments in the beams are more secretive, so they are filled with large silver ingots and banknotes. The hidden compartments behind the wardrobe are mostly filled with broken silver.

In addition, there is a locked drawer in the big wardrobe, which contains the change that Tang Xiaojing usually uses for his expenses.

But the money was not much, only two or three taels of silver in total, so Tang Xiaojing didn't care about the change.

Tang Xiaojing took out the money from both places, put it in a small box, and carried it over to find Tangshan.

Tang Xiaojing came to Tangshan's house. By this time, Tangshan had also found all the money from the secret room.

After Tang Xiaojing locked the door, he poured the money on the table. Tang Shan, who was beside him, also poured the money on the bed. The father and son started counting the money with smiles on their faces.

In addition to the rabbit shed and pig pen at the foot of the mountain, Tang Xiaojing also has medicinal fields planted on the mountain, as well as prey caught on the mountain and mushrooms collected.

Although I still have to support the family's 12 long-term workers, there are many ways to get money, and I still have a few dendrobium trees.

Tang Xiaojing saved a total of 260 taels of silver in the past few years.

But here in Tangshan, we only have the food produced in the paddy fields and the money from driving cattle carts to attract customers, plus the rent of houses in the county and town.

Tangshan didn't have as many ways to get money as Tang Xiaojing, and he had only saved a total of 119 taels of silver over the years.

The silver counted by Tang Shan and Tang Xiaojing actually did not include the 62 taels of silver from the last time they sold sika deer.

Although Tangshan said he didn't care if Tang Xiaojing wanted money, Tang Xiaojing was still young after all, and Tangshan was afraid that he would spend money recklessly.

Therefore, Tang Xiao Jing's money will be checked regularly. If there is a big discrepancy, he will definitely ask questions.

In addition to money, the Tang family also has a small house near the county academy.

There is also a small house and a house with a front yard and a backyard in the town.

Now the three houses are rented out, and the monthly rent can be more than two taels.

Tangshan felt that it would be more cost-effective to convert the money into household property money to generate money than to keep it at home.

Tang Shan looked at Tang Xiaojing, "You have so much money, why don't you buy some family property."

"I also have this plan. There is no land for sale in the village, and there is no barren land to open up. I can only buy a shop or a house."

Tangshan suggested: "It is troublesome to buy so many small houses and take care of them. In fact, we pool the money together and then buy a shop or house in the county."

"Okay, after the Lantern Festival, let's go to the county to inquire."

Tang Xiaojing grew up in the county and is familiar with the county. He also agrees with buying property in the county.
