Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

The head of the Wang family was afraid that the head of the Chen family would not help him, so he stuffed a piece of silver in his hand and said, "Remember what you promised me."

The head of the Chen family looked at the weight of the silver ingot, his face unchanged and his heartbeat steady: "Deal."

When the bidding price for brewing skills reached as high as nine hundred taels, only a handful of people had the strength to bid.

Patriarch Li and Patriarch Huang looked at each other, then Patriarch Li raised his right hand and loudly announced the price: "One thousand taels!"

Patriarch Chen's palms itched. It turned out that Patriarch Wang was writing on his palms. He shook his hand away suddenly, stood up and said, "One thousand and fifty taels!"

The head of the Huang family originally thought that the Wang family was trying to steal the brewing skills. His head was buzzing and he quoted uncontrollably: "One thousand three hundred taels!"

Magistrate Wang smiled and looked at the head of the Wang family who was ready to go, waiting for him to quote the highest price in the audience.

The head of the Wang family took a deep breath, stood up and reported the target price: "One thousand eight hundred taels."

Patriarch Chen’s eyes widened and he couldn’t help but said: “Are you crazy?”

The head of the Wang family was unmoved. He stared directly at Huo Yunchao and bowed again and again: "Master Hou, a villain can only pay such a high price."

Huo Yunchao said with a smile: "Boss Wang, if you offer one thousand five hundred taels, this wine-making skill will not be sold."

The head of the Wang family took a deep breath, his heart beating uncontrollably, and he looked at Huo Yunchao intently, wanting to hear his final answer.

Huo Yunchao pointed to the wine jar that was snatched up by all the guests and said: "Boss Wang, you paid the highest price in the whole room. It stands to reason that you have captured the wine-making skills. But I must tell you that the wine-making skills are the key to success." The value is no less than 10,000 taels. The reason why I sold my brewing skills was to understand the urgent need to build river embankments.

It is worth noting that brewing skills, like soap, will all be produced in workshops in the future. The 1,800 taels you spend can only buy the exclusive right to use the brewing skills and cannot be transferred to other people.

I assure you that as long as the wine brewed by your Wang family is qualified, the brewing workshop will recycle the wine brewed by your Wang family at market price in the future. The conditions for the repurchase will be written in the document for purchasing the brewing technology. The details of the relevant agreement will be further explained when the document is signed. "

The head of the Wang family pursed his lips, thought for a while and said, "Master Marquis, I have learned about this and am willing to purchase the wine-making skills."

He vaguely guessed that the brewing skills would be the same as soap, but he really wanted to acquire a skill that could continue the family, which gave him more peace of mind than the mountains of food at home.

Huo Yunchao reminded again: "Boss Wang, have you really thought about it? There are so many guests as witnesses today, so you have to think carefully before answering. I will never buy or sell by force. If you don't I am willing to give you one last chance to change my story."

His main purpose of holding this auction was to raise money to build river embankments. Secondly, he wanted to revitalize the local economy and gather various forces from top to bottom so that more people can participate and obtain tangible benefits.

Therefore, Huo Yunchao did not want to make a one-time deal at all. He wanted to show his goodwill and the county government's determination to boost the local economy to the large and small landowners and businessmen present.

The head of the Wang family glanced around at the people who were making wine, bowed his hands and said, "Master Marquis, the county magistrate, I have thought clearly about this and am willing to spend a lot of money to purchase wine-making skills!"

When Huo Yunchao saw that the head of the Wang family had made up his mind, he nodded to County Magistrate Wang.

Magistrate Wang smiled and knocked the wooden hammer, and finally said: "The wine-making skills have been lost to the grain merchant Boss Wang!"

The head of the Wang family stepped forward to take the bidding voucher and sat down again.

Patriarch Chen pondered for a long time but still couldn't figure out why Patriarch Wang spent so much money to buy a not-so-good wine-making technique: "Hey, you spent one thousand eight hundred taels to buy the secret recipe for wine-making, did you really think about it?" No. Are people stupid and have too much money?

The owner of the Wang family's trembling hands and excited heart took a long time to calm down, and then he heard Magistrate Wang banging the wooden hammer: "The next item to be auctioned is the Monument of Merit."

Everyone present was surprised and looked at Magistrate Wang with curiosity.

As soon as Magistrate Wang finished speaking, Zheng Shaoxuan ordered his servants to unfold the drawings. Magistrate Wang then passionately described various work arrangements after the construction of the river embankment, including but not limited to the reconstruction of the refugee area, the construction of Xishan School, and the bombing of the mountain. Open the way etc.

The four major families of Huang, Li, Chen and Wang are not very interested in the reconstruction project of the refugee area. At this time, they have no idea how much potential the construction industry has. Why should they spend money and effort to build houses for a group of refugees? What are you thinking about?

The four heads of the family are more concerned about Xishan Academy, especially the head of the Chen family. He claims to be from a scholarly family. After passing the exam, he tried a few times, but felt that his talent was not enough. He gave up the desire to continue climbing and returned to his hometown to teach his children and grandchildren. The reason is to hope that our children and grandchildren will be better than their masters.

However, the Chen family has a libertine like Chen Yuanlang who molests well-bred girls in the street. The head of the Chen family has to admit that he is not a qualified teacher, at least he cannot control his eldest grandson.

If Xishan Academy can hire a teacher who is more knowledgeable than him, and has the full support of Pinglehou and the county magistrate, then if the children and grandchildren enter Xishan Academy with strong teachers, they will have a great chance of leaping over the dragon gate and achieving a class jump!

The more Chen Patriarch thought about it, the more excited he became. He clenched his wrist hard. He never thought he was too excited. What he was gripping was not his own wrist, but that of Patriarch Wang.

The head of the Wang family opened the hand of the Chen family and said angrily: "You grab your own wrist!"

"Huh?" The head of the Chen family later realized that he had arrested the wrong person, and said with a silly grin: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm just too happy."

The head of the Wang family asked casually: "What's so exciting about this?" Anyway, he didn't have the money to buy any merit monument.

In order to capture the wine-making skills, he has spent more than half of the Wang family's working capital. The head of the Wang family still needs to invest more manpower, material and financial resources in the wine-making skills. He calculated carefully and found that the initial investment must be at least one thousand taels. Coupled with the management fee of 77,888, the family's wealth has been reduced to 80%.

The head of the Chen family knows that the head of the Wang family hates scholars the most, and thinks that scholars are selfish and only care about themselves.

After thinking about it, Patriarch Chen decided to use words that Patriarch Wang could understand: "Have you ever thought about it? If someone in your family is an official, how much more money can you make from your business?"

The head of the Wang family sneered disdainfully: "No one in my family can read. Instead of expecting my children and grandchildren to become officials, I should work harder for a few more years."

He is a self-made rich man, and his children and grandchildren are also promising, but they are still too young in his eyes. As for what the head of the Chen family wanted to say, he could guess it, but he didn't think it had anything to do with him.

The head of the Chen family tried to persuade him a few words, but when he saw that the head of the Wang family ignored his words, he stamped his feet angrily: "Your children and grandchildren are not good at studying, but what about your great-grandchildren? Don't they have the talent to study too? You can't I only think about the three melons and two dates in front of me, and think more about the nine generations in the future! The eighteen generations of descendants!"

The head of the Wang family dismissed it: "I spent a lot of money to buy wine-making skills, isn't it just for future generations? I have done it all for them, it's a beautiful idea."
