Madam, She Has a Tender Heart - Chapter 443

Chapter 443 Looking for something to do

Su Qingyu saw them pushing the money back and pushed it back to them.

 “Take it. He has some money now.”

“Iron ore was discovered in Xuzhou last year, and now he finally has money to support the army. In the past, the government offices bullied him for not knowing how to read the ledgers. When he asked for money, the officials in each state said that there was no money in the ledger, and they all cried to him about poverty. Not only did they not You gave him money and asked for it. You know that he is not a cruel person and would not kill someone.”

“He wanted to do something, but he couldn’t do it because there was no money in the army. Now he has some money, but once the army is sent to Jiangning to fight, it will be a huge expenditure.”

“Ordinary people don’t understand his difficulties. Although he is an envoy, he still has 200,000 troops and horses, food, drink, clothing, etc. all coming to him for money. He has to feed them, pay them, and make the soldiers They and the horses are well fed.”

“For an army of 200,000, each person has sixty-two meters per day, and one month of rice will cost thirty thousand stone. The monthly salary of the soldiers is one tael per person, which is 200,000 taels. It is a huge expense every month. He Even when I’m sleeping and dreaming, I’m thinking about money.”

　　After hearing what Su Qingyu said, Lu Shengcai and others were shocked.

 Eating rice for a month costs 30,000 shi? Two hundred thousand taels for salary alone?

 Where does this much money come from?

 Bo Cheng, this is not easy!

I thought he was a military governor with a lot of money in his hands, but I never thought that an army of 200,000 would cost so much money in a month!

When Su Qingyu left, Lu Shengcai stuffed a thousand taels back to her.

“Dad has nothing to do, so you can take this money back. I still have money in my hand. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me. Although I can’t help you, I can, and I can also listen to your worries.”

Su Qingyu didn’t want it, but Lu Shengcai insisted on giving it. He stuffed the money and turned around and left.

Su Qingyu returned to the house, and Qingxing came over holding the little girl in her arms.

“Sister, have they settled in yet?”

Su Qingyu took Xiaoqi over, kissed her, carried her into the house, and said, “Settled.”

Youbai next to you curled your lips: “Madam, my mother-in-law, she thought that your lady was very rich, sleeping in a golden house, and she didn’t even look down on the thousand taels that Madam gave her, huh. If it hadn’t been for what Madam said later. , I’m afraid they won’t come back for more money in the future.”

Mrs. Guo also nodded: “Thanks to what Madam said, otherwise they would all think that Madam and Sir have an easy life. It will not encourage their greed in the future.”

Su Qingyu also sighed as she thought about Wu’s appearance just now. If she had regarded her as her eldest daughter-in-law before and treated her better, she would not have said those words.

Turning to Mrs. Guo, he said: “Remember this for me in the future. Remember to remind me every month to send them some food. You also help me go over to visit them often. This will prevent others from saying you are unfilial.”

“yes.”

Within a few days, people in several houses had arranged their belongings.

Lu Shengcai, his two brothers, Bo Zong and Bo Xiang came to the house and asked Su Qingyu if he could find some work or buy a few acres of land for farming.

But he was afraid of having a bad influence on Lu Bocheng, so he thought he was just a military governor and would let his family farm the land.

Su Qingyu was very happy that except for the Wu family, everyone in this family was considered sensible.

 Thought for a while and looked at Lu Shengcai, “Dad used to be a businessman, now he wants to farm?”

“Dad wants to continue doing business, but he is worried about the negative impact on Bo Cheng and is afraid that people will say that his family is competing with the people for profit.”

“It doesn’t matter. Just do your business honestly and don’t cheat.” “Okay, then dad will walk around the streets to see what can be done. Dad has never farmed a few times in his life, and he wants to go to the ground. , It’s really not possible, and neither are your two brothers.”

“Two brothers, have you ever thought about doing something?”

“Bo Zong didn’t have any ideas yet. Bo Zu saw that there was a private school opening in the city and found that the children in this city were not like other places. They were quite willing to study. After studying for so many years, he didn’t know how to do anything else. I’m thinking about opening a private school.”

Su Qingyu nodded: “Bo Cheng issued a decree to encourage school-age children in Zhenhai to go to school. If my second brother wants to open a private school, there will be no shortage of students.”

“That’s good, that’s good. If you can open a private school and accept some students, you can also fill your stomach. You don’t know, now our private schools have stopped and everyone says that studying is useless. But can the martial arts school be opened? few.”

Lu Bozong saw that his sister-in-law agreed to allow his second brother to open a private school. What on earth was he going to do? In the past, in my hometown, I followed my father to look after the shop and purchase goods. Now, do I want to start a small business with my father?

Su Qingyu saw that Lu Bozong lowered his head and had no intention of speaking, so he looked at Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu.

“We, we don’t know anything, so we just thought it would be good to buy a few acres of land, grow some grain, and be self-sufficient every year.”

Su Qingyu nodded and looked at Uncle Lu: “I remember that my uncle used to help me collect and carry vegetables. He was also very talkative. Don’t you want to do something? What about Bo Xiang, what do you think?”

Lu Boxiang glanced at this cousin. In the past, when he and his father carried vegetables to the town, this cousin would always buy him a lot of delicious food.

He then smiled at Su Qingyu and said, “I listen to my sister-in-law.”

Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

 Uncle Lu also laughed.

“This kid has not studied for a few years, but he can only recognize a few words. If he can have martial arts, he can be sent to Bo Cheng to practice. Now he can’t do anything except a handful of strength. He only knows how to do it. Follow the farming.”

Su Qingyu smiled, thought for a while, and said to Bo Xiang: “Can you endure hardship? If you can endure hardship, my sister-in-law really has a task for you to do.”

“Yes, I can endure hardship! Sister-in-law, just leave it to me.” Bo Xiang was a little excited after hearing this.

Uncle Lu looked at him and saw that he was the only one of his three sons left, and he was not married yet. He was also worried.

He said to Su Qingyu: “Qingyu, if you need him to do anything, just leave it to him. This kid is not good at literature or military, but he does things seriously.”

Boxiang also patted his chest and promised.

Su Qingyu said to him: “I have a skill of making tofu, which I can teach you. I have seen that no one in Xuzhou City is engaged in this business. You can take the first and third rooms to do this business.” You are in charge of the business. You can make the tofu shop in your house. Once it is ready, you can sell it in the shop. I can lend you the money to buy the shop. If this business is done well, you can make a lot of money in a month. ”

“Really? Can you really make money?” Bo Xiang looked interested, his eyes widened, and he was eager to try.

“My sister-in-law has this business in the mountains and makes a lot of money in a month. Besides, you are a one-person business in Xuzhou. If you do well, your income should be considerable.”

 “That’s okay, sister-in-law, I’ll do it!”

“Okay, then you go back to your house and discuss with your father, uncle and others how to divide the labor between the two families, how to occupy shares, how to arrange the workshop, and where to buy the shop. After you buy the shop, I will ask Mother Guo to teach you at home. you.”

“Okay. I’ll go out to find a shop in a while.”
