From the end of the world to ancient times with the writer system

The old lady and the others have already taken them home, and Ji Xuanhe doesn't care about the little money for food.He originally planned to let the old lady and the others live in Ji's house first, and then find a house to move out when Pan Mingjie came over.

The old lady didn't agree, these days were enough for her to understand the situation of her grandson Lang, knowing that Ji Xuan and the whole family supported the whole family at a young age, how could she take advantage of this when she was old?So asking the eldest daughter-in-law to go out to find a place to stay the next day has already burdened the grandson, and he can't even burden his husband's family anymore.

The money in Tian's hands is not enough to buy a decent house with a shop and a backyard in Kangping County.This Shao Yunchen knew a long time ago that he wanted to subsidize it directly, but the old lady was unwilling, so she said that she would lend it to them first and pay it back later when she has money.Using the eldest daughter's dowry has already lost the grandson, and then using the grandson's dowry, it really doesn't know what to do.

Shao Yunchen didn't say any more, people have self-esteem, the old lady is getting old, it's better to do what she wants.

After staying in Kangping County for a few days, Ji Xuan and his wife were going back to Yangjiabu.There are workshops, Zhuangzi, and old master Zhen. They have been away for a few months, so they have to go back and have a look.

Before leaving, Shao Yunchen asked Ji Xuanhe, if his cousin Pan Hongli wanted to take the exam, would he be able to study with Old Master Zhen?How can Ji Xuanhe disagree with such a trivial matter.

In Kangping County, the third quarter house enters the main room.

The old lady's family got together, and Shao Yunchen spoke only after deliberation: "Grandmother, Xuanhe and I hired a gentleman a few years ago. He is very knowledgeable. Is my cousin still interested in studying? After studying for a few years, not to mention raising people to be a Jinshi, at least being a scholar should not be a big problem."

"Yunchen, what you said is true?" Before the old lady could speak, Tian spoke first.It is about the future of the only son, which mother would not care?

"Auntie, it's true. Cousin, are you willing?" Pan Hongli is not young, and this matter still has to be done if he wants to, Shao Yunchen doesn't want to do bad things with good intentions.

"Cousin, I am willing." Pan Hongli's eyes lit up when he heard the good news.When they were still in Yunzhou Mansion, he had been enlightened for several years, and then he came to Rongjin Town. Although he did not go to school again, he followed his father to study the Four Books and Five Classics. If you try your luck, you may be able to pass the entrance examination as a Tongsheng, and then a scholar.

"That's fine, but if this is the case, you have to go back to Yangjiabu with me, and Xuanhe and I will spend most of our time there." Shao Yunchen smiled. He himself has a lot of knowledge, but he doesn't have this opportunity. What about Xuanhe? You Zhi is not here. Now that he meets his cousin who is determined to take the exam, he doesn't mind helping out, "Grandmother, eldest aunt, please pack up and salute your cousin. Xuanhe and I will leave tomorrow morning."

It was getting late, Shao Yunchen went back to his room after finishing speaking, leaving the old lady and the others to pack Pan Hongli's belongings.

"Hongli, we have delayed you for the past few years, this time you have such a good opportunity, you should take care of yourself." Before Pan Hongli went to bed, the old lady still did not forget to teach.

When they were in Rongjin Town, they saved a province, and they could still get the money that allowed Pan Hongli to enter the private school.It's just that although Pan Hongli is small, he is very sensible.He didn't want the whole family to live frugally just to support one of his students.Besides, even if he doesn't go to school, he can learn some from his father.Although my father is not a scholar, at least he passed the Tongsheng examination, so it is enough to teach him.

Early the next morning, Ji Xuan and his wife took Pan Hongli and drove towards Yangjiabu in a carriage.

Although Kangping County is good, the two of them are used to living in Yangjiabu, and they missed it very much after being away for a few months.

"You two little bastards, it's really cool for you. Are you willing to leave the old man here alone?" As soon as he entered the door, Old Master Zhen didn't even care about his image, and complained a lot.

Mrs. Chen was covering her mouth and laughing, Mr. Zhen also had the nerve to say that, these few months his life has been unbelievably carefree, he went to the village every day, a group of old men stayed together, chatting, how can Not happy at all?

"Mr. calm down, I brought you Yunwu tea, do you want more?" Ji Xuanhe saved the good tea from that year for his second uncle to drink, and he himself only drank last year's old tea, and even Old Master Zhen could only drink it. in this way.This Yunwu tea is relatively light, suitable for the elderly to drink, and I bought it when I came across it on the road.

"You have a conscience, come on, you haven't entered school for a few months, so you won't forget everything you learned before?" Old Master Zhen accepted the student's filial piety happily, and waved the two of them off, "It's so late It's been a long time, and classes will start as usual tomorrow morning!"

"Sir, this is my cousin Pan Hongli, who wants to study with me, you see?" Shao Yunchen pulled Pan Hongli who was standing beside him, and introduced him to Old Master Zhen.

"Teaching one is teaching. I have already taught two, and it will not be a waste if I add one more. This one will not take the exam, right?" Thinking of this, Old Master Zhen felt a little sad. Both students have good aptitude, One has nothing to do with the official career, the other has no such heart, and another like this, he will probably turn his hair gray with worry.In fact, Old Master Zhen's hair was already half gray, but fortunately he just thought about it, otherwise, Ji Xuan and Zhunbao would have to choke him again.

"Don't worry about that, sir, my cousin's goal is at least to be a scholar." Shao Yunchen is kind and will not easily make fun of his master.

"Okay, Xuanhe, Yunchen, you are busy with your work." Old Master Zhen stopped talking to Ji Xuan and his wife after finishing speaking. He turned to Pan Hongli and said, "Your name is Pan Hongli, right? You stay, I see Let's see how well you learn."

Pan Hongli was older than Shao Yunchen, Ji Xuan and his husband had nothing to worry about, they greeted Jimo Qiucheng, and moved the specialties they bought along the way back to the backyard.

After finishing these trivial matters, the two went out together to inspect Ji's property.Ji Xuanhe went to check the workshop, while Shao Yunchen went to see Zhuangzi.The two walked together all the way, and they didn't divide into two groups until Zhuangzi.

When Ji Xuanhe walked to the door of the workshop, the concierge recognized him and welcomed him in immediately.

There are a lot of seafood in the yard of the workshop, including fish, shrimp and crab.In addition to these dry goods, the workshop also produces seafood sauce. The products are no longer single, and the ability to resist risks can be improved.

The taste of the yard is much better than that of the fish market, which was specially requested by Ji Xuanhe.The place where the fish are killed should be cleaned every day. If the environment is improved, workers can feel better.

The workshop is no longer the same three or five people as before. When Ji Xuan and his wife embarked on a journey to find relatives, Uncle Qiu devoted himself to developing and expanding the workshop.The newly added ones are all Yangjiabu villagers, most of them are girls and daughters-in-law, and there are only a few men. There are a few green leaves dotted among the red flowers, which are quite eye-catching.

In order to avoid suspicion, men and women are separated most of the working hours.A few times, it was also under the watchful eyes of the public, but no trouble was caused.

Uncle Qiu didn't come back with Ji Xuan and his husband this time, he had to help Tian's find a house.Ji Xuanhe listened to the workshop manager Yan Wei's introduction slowly with great interest, and was not bored at all.

Guanshi Yan is the second shopkeeper of Yunji Cloth Village, and now he has become the steward of the workshop, which is a promotion for him. Now he is full of energy and wants to perform well in front of his master.

Because the amount of seafood received is different every day, the hired villagers do not have to go to work every day.According to everyone's performance, Guanshi Yan will choose the best ones to work when the supply of goods is scarce. Only when the quantity of seafood received is large, will all the villagers who signed the contract with the workshop be invited.Wages are not calculated on a daily basis, but on the basis of each person's output.If you do it fast and well, you will be paid more and have more opportunities to work.

In this regard, Ji Xuanhe agreed. It is the last thing to want to eat a big pot of rice. Only with competition can there be vitality.

"The weather is hot now, and the goods should be made into dry goods as much as possible before they go bad. If you are too busy for a while, please invite a few more people." Ji Xuanhe stood under the sun for a while, and felt a little uncomfortably hot.After watching all the processes in the workshop, he went out to look for Shao Yunchen.

The weather this year is not bad, but there is little rain and the ground is a little dry, so it doesn't hurt to water it a few times.The villagers can still bear this kind of hard work, as long as they don't work hard for a year and end up with nothing in the end.

Zhang Zhuang led Shao Yunchen to walk around to see that the crops were growing well.At this time, watering is not suitable, and farmers only pull weeds and insects in the fields.

"What's the water level in the river now?" Shao Yunchen looked at the lush crops and felt his whole body and mind were at ease.

Zhang Zhuangtou: "It's okay, as long as it stays like this, the river water is more than enough to support the autumn harvest."

Shao Yunchen passed by the canal on Zhuangzi, looking at the gurgling water, his eyes were particularly bright.The water conservancy repairs at the beginning were not in vain, but now it has played a role. It is much easier for farmers to carry water, which can save them a lot of time.

Ningzhuang covers an area of ​​[-] mu, and it is impossible for Shao Yunchen to see all of them. It is enough for him to see every crop.The wheat with the largest planting area was the last dry crop Shao Yunchen saw.After a while, he will turn to the paddy field, where rice and fragrant rice are planted, right by the river.

Ningzhuang is next to the river, but unfortunately, the river does not pass through the village, but along the southwest side of Zhuangzi, passes through Yangjiabu, and flows into the sea a few miles further.

The river is not big, and there is no alluvial plain formed near Yangjiabu like the mouth of the Yangtze River.

When Shao Yunchen turned to the paddy field, he saw Ji Xuanhe from a distance, he quickened his pace, and said with a smile: "The sun is hot in the sky, why are you here?"

"You don't care, and I don't care." Ji Xuanhe knew that married men pay more attention to their appearance than ordinary men, Shao Yunchen is not afraid of getting tanned, so what is Ji Xuanhe afraid of.

I forgot to bring a straw hat when I came here, let Jimo be more careful next time.

It's been a long time since I walked under the scorching sun, not only Ji Xuan and his wife, but even Jimo Qiu Cheng didn't think of it for a while.

"Finished?" The ridge was very small, so Ji Xuanhe had to walk ahead.There are many rules in the Jin Dynasty, Ji Xuan and himself may not care, but they have to think about Shao Yunchen, there is no big mistake in being careful.

"Almost, only the paddy fields are left." Shao Yunchen half-closed his eyes and looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly. Although the temperature was high, it was not too hot to be unbearable.Even so, after walking for a while, Shao Yunchen's inner shirt was already slightly damp with sweat, and the sticky taste was not so good.

Zhuangzi is built near the center of Ningzhuang, and the paddy field is located on the west side of Ningzhuang, and it takes less than half an hour to walk there.This kind of weather, if the temperature is lower, it is very suitable for outing in the garden.

Jimo Qiu Cheng forgot to bring sunshades, but he did everything else well.When Ji Xuanhe felt thirsty, Qiu Cheng poured him a glass of cold boiled water at the right time.Everyone in the Jin Dynasty loves to drink tea, Ji Xuanhe doesn't want to be with tea all day long, and usually likes to quench his thirst with boiled water.

Shao Yunchen was also influenced by Ji Xuanhe, boiled water was the first thing he thought of when he was really thirsty.

There are not many paddy fields in Zhuangzi, and the small fragrant rice takes up five acres, but only a dozen acres of rice are planted.In the south of the Yangtze River, the early rice has gradually matured at this time, and it is the harvest season.It's still early at Yangjiabu, and it will take at least a month or two to open the sickle.

Although only five acres of fragrant rice were planted, the seeds equivalent to six acres of rice were consumed, which shows how delicate it is.Fragrant rice ranks at the bottom of many high-end grains, and it is so difficult to grow. Other more expensive grains are even more daunting for the common people.

Where do the dignitaries of the royal family want to eat?According to the regulations of the imperial court, honorable officials and rich merchants all have a certain quota, which decreases from high to low according to the rank or degree of wealth.

Ji's family still can't meet the minimum requirements, so they don't need to hand in, so there's no need to worry about it.Both the Jifu Shaofu and the second uncle's family complied with the regulations, and they need to hand in additional high-quality food to the court every year.Last year, disasters hit all over the country. This kind of grain, which is more expensive than rice, is rare. The imperial court reduced or exempted it as appropriate, and only collected the remaining high-quality grain. After making enough for the royal family, the remaining high-quality grain was distributed to the nobles Although officials and merchants were not lowly in the Jin Dynasty, they had to be left behind at this time.

Last year, there were not many merchants who could eat high-quality new grains. When these can't be bought with money, they become a status symbol.It's not that no one is interested in the profits, just thinking about how delicate they are, few people dare to plant them.

The reason why high-quality food is so expensive lies in its scarcity.Ordinary rice can yield at least two to three hundred catties per mu of rice. The more expensive and high-quality grain, the lower the yield per mu. It is safe to take the lives of ordinary people.High-quality grain seeds are expensive, and the common people cannot afford them.

Ji Xuanhe had more than 300 mu of land, and he didn't dare to plant delicate and high-quality grain at will. What Shao Yunchen used to try was the low-ranking fragrant rice, and he only planted five mu, so even if he lost money, he wouldn't lose much.

Like noble officials and wealthy businessmen who grow this kind of high-quality grain, what they fear most is that other families will have a good harvest, but they not only fail to make money, but also lose money.At this time, the imperial court will not make a special case for a family. They should pay no less than one grain, and if they fail to pay, they will pay with silver.Therefore, every few years, there are always one or two family members who have fallen into ruin because of this.

By doing so, the imperial court also prevented the upper class of the Jin Dynasty from amassing wealth to a certain extent.

Having lived in Yangjiabu for so many years, Ji Xuanhe knew his own Zhuangzi quite well, so he was the first to reach the river.

The wind blows gently, engulfing the water vapor of the river, which makes people feel a little less heat.

Fragrant rice and rice are not the same species, so it is easy to distinguish them.Ji Xuan can easily distinguish Ji Xuan from the first time they met.The stalk of small fragrant rice is taller than that of rice, and the leaves are also more slender. The color is green with a little red. You can smell a very light fragrance.

Half of the small fragrant rice seeds left in the family's four-acre field were cooked and eaten by Ji Xuan and his husband, and the fragrance was much stronger than that.Ji Xuanhe didn't like it very much, but he still thought white rice tasted better.As for the staple food, the less tasteful the more suitable for the public taste, like these high-quality grains, each has its own characteristics, and the scarcity does not mean that the taste is better than others.

Zhangzhuangtou and the others have taken good care of it, but the growth of the small fragrant rice is still not comparable to that of the rice nearby.It took several times of effort, but the result was like this. No wonder the court needs to compel apportionment.

Judging from the current situation, the total value of one mu of fragrant rice should be higher than that of rice, but it takes more labor to take care of one mu of fragrant rice, and it is enough to take care of two acres of rice. Not worth it.

Ji Xuanhe doesn't like small fragrant rice very much, and Shao Yunchen's taste is very similar to Ji Xuanhe's, so he doesn't like it very much either.It seems that this five-acre field of fragrant rice can only be sold or given away.

There are all kinds of high-quality grains on the market, but the price is high enough, and the quality is left over. Ji Xuan and his wife didn't think about trying these for a while, so they didn't mention them, and Uncle Qiu didn't buy them.

After Shao Yunchen got this idea, he thought about planting a few acres of what he and Xuanhe both liked, and didn't sell it out, only for his family to enjoy.Even if it doesn't work, it's just a loss of a few acres of seeds, and it won't cause much damage to Ji's family.

The paddy field was Shao Yunchen's last stop. After watching it, he sent Zhang Zhuangtou away and walked slowly along the river bank with Ji Xuanhe.It wasn't that hot by the river, so the two of them didn't rush back.

His body was sticky, and when he got home, Ji Xuanhe washed it well, and then he felt refreshed again.

After being away from home for several months, the first meal after returning home was a dust-cleaning feast. The two mothers of the crepe family made several special dishes to reward a few people.

Pan Hongli also enjoyed it when he was a child, but since he left Yunzhou Mansion, his life has gone from bad to worse.This lunch can't be compared with that in Yunzhou Mansion, but it is much better than what he ate afterwards.He thought about bothering his cousin and husband for a long time in the future, so he was not restrained, he should eat and drink.After a meal, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Pan Hongli was arranged in the guest room in the front yard, right next to Old Master Zhen, so everyone, old or young, could be a companion.Pan Hongli is going to take an exam, so this arrangement is also convenient for him to ask Old Master Zhen for advice at any time.

Because of the different goals, Pan Hongli took classes with Ji Xuan and his husband in the morning, and in the afternoon, Old Master Zhen gave him an extra class alone.After Pan Hongli knew about it, he cherished the opportunity in front of him even more, and stayed with books all day long.

Ji Xuanhe saw that this was not going to work, so he forced him to race horses in Zhuangzi every evening.The most important thing to do in the imperial examination is to be in good health. Otherwise, after a few exams, people will lose half their lives.

Pan Hongli readily accepted his cousin's husband's kindness.It is also because he is not young that he is a little anxious for a while, so he is so concerned about learning, and after he gets used to it, he thinks about it.After all these years, it would be best if he could go a little farther along the way of the imperial examination. If this road didn't work out, he would stop thinking about it and go home to help his parents with their livelihood.

Pan Hongli devoted himself to learning, while Ji Xuan and his colleague Shao Yunchen were busy handling accounts.After the two of them left for a few months, all the accounts they saved had to be cleaned up.

Three shops, plus a workshop, and the details of several months are put together, which is also quite spectacular.

These accounts will not be finished in a while, Ji Xuanhe is not in a hurry.He first opened the accounts of the workshop and the dried seafood store. These two were newly opened. He had to look at the profits inside, and then decide when to open the dried seafood store to the capital.

The risk of going to sea is high, and the amount of seafood that can be caught every day is uncertain, and the seafood that the workshop can receive is often too much, so the amount ordered by the seller should not be too large, otherwise the delivery will not be delivered at that time. Have to lose money?

Looking at the accounts requires patience and carefulness. How can Ji Xuanhe care about these things in modern times?In the Jin Dynasty, he had to master this skill.Let’s just talk about the workshop. There are many kinds of seafood, and there are several pages in the daily account. At a glance, there are fish, shrimps and crabs everywhere, which makes people dazzled.

Ji Xuanhe was originally a semi-nerd, but now he can calm down even more.It can be seen that he learned from Qiu Bo, otherwise, if he wants to learn without a teacher, the difficulty is not 01:30.

Ji's family property is under Ji Xuanhe's nose, and the shopkeepers in charge can't be fooled. The accounts are very clear, and Ji Xuanhe can see it quickly.If there is a slight discrepancy in the accounts, as long as it is not deliberate and can balance the accounts on its own, Ji Xuanhe will just fine the money and settle the matter, and he will never condone those who have a bad mind.

Ji Xuanhe is like this, Shao Yunchen is not easy.He has to manage the two villages, the greenhouse, and the salt field, and he has to deal with the internal accounts of the Ji Zhai. He also needs to look over the accounts of the Yunji cloth village under his name.

The two of them worked hard for several days before they cleared up the accounts that had been accumulated for several months.

The income for more than half a year this year is not as good as in previous years, but it is much better than last year.With the addition of workshops and dried seafood stores, the total income will be even higher.

Things are not easy to preserve in summer, and the workshop consumes a lot of salt. The production from Yantian is directly pulled to the workshop, and the cost is lower than others.Ji's family doesn't have fishing boats, otherwise it would cover everything from production to sales, and the profits would be maximized.Ji Xuanhe thought that if he had the conditions in the future, he could consider giving it a try.

After dealing with everything, Ji Xuan and his husband relaxed again.

Ji Xuanhe was thinking about how much family business he needs to own in order to live comfortably without lowering his current standard of living.At least like last year, if there is a turmoil and the income can be higher than the expenditure, it will definitely not work.What's more, as he grows up, his expenses will only increase. Although he doesn't have much ambition, who would dislike the good life that is at his fingertips?

It is difficult to grasp the degree between wanting to live a leisurely life and high income.

Ji Xuanhe has been thinking about this recently. For food, most of them are available in his own village; for clothing, there is no shortage of cotton and linen, but silk and satin can only be bought; for living, there are two houses, and one in each county town in the countryside. If you want to be quiet, you can live in Yangjiabu. If you want to be lively, you can live in Kangping County. You can buy good furniture and decorations slowly.

All of these, without human relations, the expenses are not very large.But in this way, after a year, it will cost a few hundred taels.It sounds like a lot. On average, it’s only 50 taels per month. Are these a lot?Not much at all.

Old Master Zhen's income from Shu Xiu is less, which is almost a meaning, how can Ji Xuan and his husband take advantage of this, Old Master Zhen's food and drink are compared with the two, basically his treatment is equivalent to that of the only two masters of the Ji family.Old Master Zhen also deserves to be like this. He is different from ordinary teachers. Both of them have benefited a lot in terms of academics and life.

Old Master Zhen never talked about his previous life, but Ji Xuanhe could tell that his previous life must have been wonderful.There are many things that one should not think deeply about. With this thought, Ji Xuanhe discovered that after coming to Ji's house for several years, Old Master Zhen only wandered around Yangjiabu, and the number of times he went to Kangping County was very few.

Ji Xuanhe didn't have the desire to explore the details, so many years later, the situation is still calm, maybe Old Master Zhen likes life in the countryside.Ji Xuanhe convinced himself so much, only he knew how much he believed.

Including Pan Hongli, the Ji family now has a total of 16 people, including four masters and twelve servants, and the monthly income of the servants is several taels.That's not counting Shao Yunchen's grandmother's family, ever since Ji Xuan and his wife returned to Yangjiabu, Shao Yunchen's grandmother didn't ask her grandson to pay, and they started the fire by themselves.

The monthly expenses of tens of taels, food, clothing, housing and transportation are just ordinary. If you want to eat bird's nest and ginseng every day, this little money is only enough to stuff your teeth.The 200-year-old ginseng that Ji Xuan and his second uncle gave last year cost hundreds of taels of silver in pharmacies. Even if you don’t eat such old ginseng, it will cost tens of taels of silver to get 50-year-old ginseng.

Money is not easy to earn, but it is quickly spent.Ji Xuanhe thinks about the huge expenses of a small family like his own, and then thinks that there are only twenty or thirty masters in Ji's mansion, and after a year, how many thousand taels of silver will they have to send out?Adding in the hundreds of servants, hehe, the numbers add up to be a bit scary.

This doesn't include the Four Seasons clothes and jewelry for the madam and the young master's pen and ink for entertaining guests. If you want to maintain the bright life of the big family, you must invest a lot of money.If no one in the family is proficient in general affairs, and the head wife is not good at housekeeping, it is estimated that the family will soon be ruined.

The specific accounts of Yunji Buzhuang are managed by Ji Xuanhe, and Shao Yunchen only looks at the general ledger of income and expenditure.Similarly, Shao Yunchen is in charge of Zhuangzi and the like, and Ji Xuanhe has to leave a copy of the general ledger. After all, these are the properties of the Ji family, and Ji Xuanhe, as the head of the family, must be clear.

Summer is the peak season for vegetables to mature, and vegetables cannot be sold at a high price in these months.Shao Yunchen has been in charge of the greenhouse for several years, so he knows all these things clearly.Every year, Jijia Greenhouse sells the last batch of off-season vegetables before the peak vegetable season, and then plants crops with different growing seasons in batches, trying to either mature earlier than others, or rush to the market in winter .

With such a plan, the income of the greenhouse immediately increased by more than [-]%.
