A Timely Wife

Li Ruosong and Chengdong thought about it for a long time with sad faces, but they couldn't think of any way to make money. Needless to say, Li Ruosong, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, is the most direct descendant of the Li family in Songjiang, and he can't say anything. Even Li Liang, who was allowed to do business affairs, had only taken care of the Zhuangzi, and he had never touched those shops. This is the case with all fathers, let alone sons. .

Chengdong is almost the same way. It’s okay for him to spend money, but it’s okay for him to earn money. He has been paid a lifetime of dead wages, and he has no concept of earning money at all. He has heard of various ways to earn money in his previous life, but the problem is At that time, there was already such a fetish as the computer, and most of the startups were based on the Internet. He really didn't know anything about these things.

Before the two could come up with a solution, Li Liang sent Guanshi Li to call the two of them to the main hall, saying that they had something to discuss.This is also a treatment that was not available before. Although the elders in the past would not dismiss them when discussing matters, they would not use the words "negotiating matters." Li Ruosong and Cheng Dong looked at each other, and Cheng Dong smiled slightly. Wakasong nodded thoughtfully, presumably it was because their performance these days caught the eyes of the elders, that's why they called them over with such a solemn attitude.

When Li Ruosong and Chengdong walked into the main hall, Li Ruoshan was already sitting in the hall. Seeing the two of them approaching, the child immediately stood up, and respectfully shouted: "Brother, brother-in-law."

Li Ruosong raised his eyebrows in surprise, although he couldn't figure out what Li Ruoshan was doing, he replied, "Well, sit down."

Hearing this, Li Ruoshan sat back in a well-behaved manner. This time, Li Ruosong felt even more curious, and couldn't help but glance at Chengdong, but saw Chengdong's lips twitched slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Li Ruoshan's performance, Li Ruosong felt in his heart After thinking about it, he understood, maybe his husband taught Li Ruoshan something.

"I met my grandfather, my grandmother, my father, and my mother." Li Ruosong and Chengdong walked up to several elders and said with a bow.

"Well, get up and sit down." Li Qi stroked his beard and said.

Li Ruosong and Chengdong sat down as they said, and before they could speak, Li Qi continued: "I think your mother has already told you two that the money in the family is running out, but the family is spending a lot right now. The two of you came here to discuss this matter, and I want to hear your thoughts."

Hearing Li Qi's words, Chengdong looked at Li Ruosong subconsciously, Li Ruosong patted Chengdong's hand lightly, and said: "Just now, my grandson and husband have discussed this matter, but after all, grandson and husband still don't care about it." I am unable to do anything after thinking about it, and I am afraid that my grandparents and parents will have to worry about this matter."

Li Qi pondered for a while, and said: "Grandfather will not hide it from you. When we left, there were three shops in Songjiang Mansion, one was a cloth shop, one was a wine shop, and the other was a tea house. There are two shops, one is a silk shop, and the other is an inn. There are only a few shops in total. The shops in Beijing have been unable to make ends meet these years. The shop in Songjiang Mansion has just opened, but when it needs silver taels After all this back and forth, there is no money in the account.

Originally, your grandmother and I thought about 200 taels of silver, plus the ten acres of land we bought before, there is no cost at all, and then we will collect some rent every year, and our life will not be bad, but I didn’t expect that there would be more at home. With so many people, I didn't expect that Ruoshan would come to our house. If this matter was not really imminent, I would not have summoned you to discuss it.

Everyone in the world is Taoist, agricultural, business, and business, and business is the last, but they have never thought about it. If it weren't for these merchants, who would the court ask for taxes? If it weren't for these merchants, where would the world go to buy these things? Opening a business is really ridiculous. "

When Li Qi was young, he also asked his father why the status of merchants was so low. They obviously wore silk and satin and lived a luxurious life. Most people in the world look down on merchants, but they are greedy The money in the other party's hands is always contemptuous and envious when it comes to so-and-so.

At that time Li Qi couldn't figure it out, but decades later he knew some of the reasons. He has never rejected businessmen, no matter who they are, if they rely on their own ability to support their families, there is nothing to look down on. This is also true. The reason why before Li Youlan was cheated into the palace, the reason why he had good relations with those Shuzhi families in the capital was that after Li Youlan's incident, Li Qi hated the disgusting behavior of the Shuzhi, so he no longer treated the Shuzhi. The people here have a good face, and the annual routine money is always business-like, and they don't take a penny too much.

Both Guanshi Liu and Guanshi Li had a childhood friendship with Mr. Li. They were Li Qi's servants before, and later became long-term followers. When they were older, they were promoted to be a steward. It's not that the two of them have business acumen, but Relatively speaking, these two are relatively strong. To put it bluntly, it means that no one can use them, and there is nothing they can do.Hearing what his grandfather said, Li Ruosong frowned in embarrassment. He had no idea about this. He wouldn't worry at all if his grandfather took his homework exams, but now that he was asked these things, he was really a little I don't know how to answer.

"Grandfather, grandson has something to say." Just when Li Ruosong was about to scratch his head in worry, Li Ruoshan suddenly said this.

Li Qi glanced at Li Ruoshan in surprise, and said, "Ruoshan just said it."

"Yes, grandfather." After Li Ruoshan answered Li Qi's words, he continued: "As far as my grandson has seen, there are still many treasures in our Liujiagou. My grandson has eaten some wild game in his previous home. The price is extremely expensive. There is nothing else in our place, but there are big mountains and a lot of game. Now we have so many people here, some are martial arts practitioners, and some are in the army. Why don't we organize these people to go to the mountains to hunt some wild animals and come back? , one can exercise these people, and the other can fill in some income for the family."

After finishing speaking, Li Ruoshan looked at Li Qi, Li Qi laughed, turned his head to Li Liang and said, "Liang'er, your little son is really amazing, you are only eight years old, and you already know how to use people to do what, yes, really good."

Li Liang nodded with a smile, and replied: "It's because of the good teaching of the father and mother on weekdays, and the son absolutely dare not take credit for it."

Li Qi was very satisfied with Li Liang's answer, and said: "Although you are soft-tempered, you are more sensible. I think the two grandsons can learn a lot from you, so don't underestimate yourself. As for Shan'er, what you just said Words can only relieve temporary suffering, but it is not a long-term solution. The silver we need is not a small amount. In the beginning, we can indeed make a living by hunting, but, have you ever thought about it, if one day there are no more wild animals in this mountain, What should we do?"

Hearing this, Li Ruoshan frowned and thought for a long time, then said, "Then, can't we keep them? We keep a lot of wild animals, so we can't finish hunting them?"

Hearing this, Cheng Dong turned his head and whispered to Li Ruosong, "Your younger brother is much smarter than you. You actually know how to raise him and catch him slowly. You have a talent for business."

Li Ruosong gave Chengdong a sideways glance, he seemed dissatisfied with Chengdong's words, but he also knew his weakness, and he kept silent just now because he always liked to say things that he was not sure about, but now Li Ruoshan had already spoken, and he didn't want to. Opening my mouth always feels like being compared to this silly boy.

Thinking of this, Li Ruosong said: "It's not impossible to raise wild animals, but it takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and the road we go outside is not smooth, and the weather is very hot, and we have hunted too many wild animals." I'm afraid that if I don't earn money, it will cause trouble. If such meat is placed in the yard, it will stink within three days. Shan'er can think of these things, which is worthy of praise, but it is still not thorough enough.

The grandson thinks that since we already have a shop, why don't we start the business of the existing shop first, but I don't know if the grandfather has the account books of these shops. If there is, the grandson wants to discuss it with his husband. See if you can think of some ways to start the business, let alone making money every day, at least you can't make ends meet. "

In fact, Li Ruosong thought of more than these, but he didn't say it at the moment. On the one hand, he didn't know the specific situation of these shops; The plan is just a ridiculous thing, he is not Li Ruoshan, Li Ruoshan is only eight years old after all, but he is already 19 years old, Li Ruoshan can say what he wants, but he can only say it after careful consideration.

Li Qi is quite satisfied with Li Ruosong's words. The eldest grandson gave him the feeling that he was too stable. He can do things well, but he has no ideas of his own. Over the past few months, the eldest grandson has become calm. It remains the same but has its own considerations, which is definitely a good sign for their Li family.

The little grandson will always recognize his ancestors and return to his clan one day in the future. No matter whether he can soar into the sky or not, his identity will always be there. It is just an expedient measure to record them under their names now, but the eldest grandson is different. The grandson will inherit the Li family in the future. If Li Qi has no idea that Li Ruosong can make the Li family famous, it is absolutely false. Who wouldn't want their family to last forever.

Seeing that Li Ruosong is now acting more and more decently, Li Qi feels relieved. The Li family finally has someone who can inherit it. After going down a hundred years later, he can finally face the questions of his ancestors. up.

Li Ruosong didn't know his grandfather's thoughts at all. He was thinking about what the husband and wife would discuss if his grandfather gave them the ledger. He still had some superficial thoughts in his mind. Ideas can become things, the most important thing is how to do it.
