Chapter 578 Please
Manbao looked at him.
Zhou Silang looked around and asked mysteriously, "Manbao, what do you say? I go home and bring all the remaining herbs here?"
"There's not much left at home, right?"
"It's not much, but we can plant more," Zhou Silang said. "Ginger can be planted in the vegetable garden or in sandy land. There's a lot of dry land in the village like that. It's not suitable for growing wheat, and there's not much yield from growing beans, so growing ginger is perfect."
He said, "In the past two years, because my family has made money growing ginger, many families in the village have wanted to follow suit and grow larger plots. I've noticed that Yizhou uses much more ginger than our Luojiang County."
Manbao said helplessly: "Fourth brother, ginger needs fertilizer more than beans, you use poor land to grow ginger..."
"Anyway, they're not planting it. When the time comes, they'll naturally fertilize it themselves to make money," Zhou Silang said. "It's still early now. I can go back and tell them, and they can replant a batch, just in time for the winter harvest. By then, I can go back every few days to bring a truckload over."
Manbao thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. "The ginger can be preserved. Even if the fresh ginger cannot be sold, we can grow more for a year and then dry it and sell it the following year."
"That's right, this is a sure-win business." Zhou Silang's eyes sparkled. "As for Ligustrum lucidum, I've made arrangements with several herbal medicine shop owners to sell it to them at the agreed price when the Ligustrum lucidum is ready for harvest in the fall. They want a large quantity, which our family can't provide, so we can ask the villagers to help grow it. After all, everyone has their own mountain."
"Then I'll buy them from them and sell them to Yizhou City, and I'll make a killing."
Manbao: "Then you still have to teach them how to prepare it."
Zhou Silang waved his hand and said, "This is easy. I'll discuss it with my parents when I get home. If they want to learn, I'll teach them. If they don't want to learn, I'll buy them for a low price and we'll make it ourselves."
"Then go back."
Zhou Silang was delighted and said happily, "It's settled. I'm going back now."
"Well, let's go back."
Zhou Silang put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, little sister. I'll just go back and tell her, and I'll be back in a couple of days."
Manbao nodded to show that he understood.
Zhou Silang is going home, and the first thing everyone thinks about is what to do with their meals in the future?
What should I do with the water for washing?
What should I do if I still have horses to feed?
Mr. Zhuang glanced back and forth at his three disciples, and finally reminded Zhou Silang, "Silang, go early and come back early."
Zhou Silang agreed and asked, "Do you have anything you want me to take back?"
It really does exist.
Let’s not talk about Mr. Zhuang. He has been away for quite some time and didn’t even go home during the Qingming Festival. Now he really has something to bring back for his son.
Although Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang had just sent a letter back through Daji, they didn't know that the person delivering the letter was their own servant. They just thought he was looking for a businessman, so they only delivered the letter and no goods.
But now Zhou Silang is going back, so they have to take a lot of things with them, but they ask Zhou Silang to take even more things with him when he comes back.
Bai Shanbao said, "I've made a list of books. Fourth brother, give it to my grandmother and ask her to pack them up and send them to me. Also, bring my box for silver and my box for toys. Don't leave anything behind."
Bai Jilang also asked for a lot of things.
Manbao, who had not taken it seriously at first, immediately started to ask, "Fourth brother, can you please move the box at the end of my bed to me? It's full of toys I've collected, as well as the books and other things on my bookshelf. Please bring them over to me as well."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhuang also became eager to take action. "I left quite a few books at the Bai family. After coming to Yizhou, many of them can only be read at bookstores, which is very inconvenient. Besides, when I came here, I only brought the simplest set of brushes, ink, paper and inkstone..."
Books are very expensive, and the four treasures of the study are also expensive.
Although his income is higher now than before, Mr. Zhuang is still reluctant to buy again what he already owns.
During this period, when he needed to read certain books, he would go to the bookstore to borrow books. In fact, it would be best if he could bring his own books.
Everyone looked at Zhou Silang with anticipation.
Zhou Silang: ...Is he going home to start a business, or is he going back to move?
But facing the looks from the master and his four disciples, what else could he do except agree?
The next day, Zhou Silang finally drove away in the carriage full of worry. He was not sure if the carriage could hold so many things.
Daji walked the man to the alley entrance with great sympathy, then waved goodbye to him.
Mr. Zhuang is preparing for Bai Shanbao's admission to school.
There are two types of students in the provincial school.
Those who live inside the dormitory are supervised by the warden, and those who live outside the dormitory are supervised by the warden.
Most students from other places will live in the dormitory and only need to pay a small amount of rent every year, which is much cheaper than renting outside.
Mr. Zhuang lived here for many years.
Another part of them live outside, especially local students, who naturally go home early and go to bed late, or rent a house nearby.
Mr. Zhuang originally wanted Bai Shan to live in the dormitory, but after he took a look at the current environment of the dormitory and learned from Lan Cheng that there were so many students specially recruited this year, he simply let Bai Shan come back to live.
Of course, the main reason was that Daji came to talk to him.
Servants were not allowed to enter the government school, so Daji could not enter.
If Bai Shan lived in the prefectural school, he would not be able to go out easily, and he would have to do his own laundry and meals. Of course, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that if he got into danger, Daji would not know about it and would not be able to help him.
So Daji suggested that his young master live outside so that he could see people every morning and evening and know whether he was being bullied or in danger.
After all, with his young master's temper, he was still very afraid that he would be put in a sack in the government school.
Mr. Zhuang had long noticed that the Bai family was particularly concerned about Bai Shan's safety, otherwise they would not have kept Daji by their side.
Daji was not a servant, nor was he an ordinary servant. He had seen him fighting with others on the roof.
So Mr. Zhuang agreed after a little thought.
The list is out, but there are still a few days before school registration starts.
Mr. Zhuang took Bai Shan to go through the formalities, starting with going to the school supervisor's office to register him for school.
As a student who was admitted to the provincial school through formal channels, he received a rice subsidy every month. It was not much, but it was enough for his own consumption.
Even for the average student, there will be some left over.
This is also a policy of the imperial court to support education. It is only available to students who have been formally admitted to the provincial school. Other students who are recommended for admission or even those who do not have school records are not eligible for this preferential policy.
This is why Mr. Zhuang was determined to enter the provincial school.
Not only does this place have the best educational resources in the entire Jiannan Road, but you don’t have to pay tuition fees, and your food and clothing are also taken care of.
If I copy some books and write some articles, I can still support my family.
Of course, Bai Shan, who is only twelve years old and comes from a wealthy family, does not have to worry about this.
The next update will be around 9pm
