Chapter 109 Interests Tied Together
Twenty taels of silver.
In Taoxi Village, it can be placed in any farmhouse.
It's not a small amount.
But Taoxi Village is different today.
In less than a year.
Almost every family has solved the problem of food and clothing.
They earned money, had food and meat, bought new clothes, renovated their houses, and bought more poultry and livestock.
Until now.
The villagers all have some savings in their pockets.
In less than an hour, the village head, Uncle Fu, gathered all the villagers.
After the reason was explained, the villagers were so excited that they trembled a little at the thought of having a share of silver every year.
Lu Qingyao's business is growing bigger and bigger, and everyone can see it.
From the gentry and landlords to the common people, everyone wants to have a piece of the pie.
As a result, the pie fell on the heads of the villagers of Taoxi Village.
After the bamboo fungus incident this morning.
Lu Qingyao still let go of past grudges and was willing to share the profits with them. No one could match her magnanimity.
At this moment, everyone looked at her as a bodhisattva who saved people from suffering.
There were also some villagers who were really poor, and even if they had to borrow, they had to scrape together twenty taels of silver.
After all, Lu Qingyao said that she would only charge twenty taels per household.
We will not accept any extra.
Those who commit crimes and behave badly.
She didn't accept it either.
Don’t miss the opportunity, it’s time to wait.
Aunt Yang and others who had been questioning her immediately changed their expressions.
"Mr. Lu, you are the breadwinner of Taoxi Village. We were blind before, but from now on, we will do whatever you say. Everything is up to you."
"Yes, yes, we will listen to you..."
Lu Qingyao looked at them with a warm smile.
When she first came to Taoxi Village, many of these people talked about her behind her back, and many people thought she was an abandoned woman and the daughter of a criminal.
Treat her as an alien.
Distant from him, away from her...
At this moment, she called him "Boss Lu" more sweetly than anyone else.
I wish I could follow her around and serve her.
Lu Qingyao saw them off with a smile.
Looking back.
"Mother...hug me..."
Then she saw the little girl staggering towards her like a chubby little duck.
I happened to be wearing a light yellow dress today.
Lu Qingyao picked her up and put her in her arms, "Miaomiao, be good. I'll take you out to play after I finish writing, okay?"
"good……"
The little baby nodded softly in response.
Then I saw my mother go back to the house, pick up a pen, dip it in ink, and write two lines on the rice paper.
They say a person's handwriting reflects his character, but my mother's handwriting...
Why does it look a bit like chicken feet? !
Curious about what my mother is writing?
A closer look...
Lu Qingyao had 1,500 taels of money, Yipinju had 1,000 taels, Xu Heng had 750 taels, Jiang Yunhu had 500 taels, Jiang the head of the village had 200 taels, and the villagers of Taoxi Village had 1,250 taels.
The total interest earned from the combined capital and business was 5,200 taels...
This is silver stock profit sharing!
It turned out that my mother wanted to divide the profits of her business among the villagers, the county magistrate and Yipinju.
In this way, everyone's interests are tied together!
Yes, if we tie them together, no one will stand idly by when something happens, and we won’t have to worry about our big customers cutting off their business.
I have to say that my mother is very knowledgeable about business.
But she was born into a family of military generals, how could she understand all these?
Could it be that the noble ladies in the capital also learn these things?
The little baby was very curious.
Not only was she curious, but Aunt Xiuxiu was also curious.
"Sister, how do you know so much?"
Lu Qingyao stroked her little girl's head and recalled the past.
"When I was young, I accompanied my father to the frontier to garrison troops. At that time, wars were frequent and military expenses were terrifyingly high. We asked the court for money, but they were always reluctant to pay. When there was no war, my father would take the soldiers to do some business. When there was a war, the business would be handed over to my mother to manage. Over time, I learned how to do it..."
"Did you manage the Jiang family's assets in the past?"
Xiuxiu heard news from the capital that the Jiang family seemed to have closed many shops and was unable to make ends meet.
Jiang's mother has started to set her sights on Qi Caiwei's dowry.
Lu Qingyao nodded. "After marrying into the Jiang family, Jiang Yunze's assets were handed over to me. Actually, he doesn't have much wealth. It's just his monthly salary and the reward from His Majesty..."
After leaving the capital, the shopkeepers who had followed her for many years also left one after another.
Now, the shops of the Jiang family must be managed by her mother-in-law.
It’s ridiculous to think about it. The old lady can hardly read and write, but she still wants to fight for the power of the family.
It is easy for people to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to simple.
After so many years of support from her, Jiang Yunze and his mother lived an extremely extravagant life in terms of food, clothing and other expenses.
Now, let them go back to their old lives.
I'm afraid it's worse than death!
Lu Qingyao smiled, "Xiu Xiu, let's set up the dinner. Feng'er and Yan'er should have arrived at the village entrance by now..."
Had dinner.
It was getting dark.
Aunt Xiuxiu took Jiang Xiaobai and the villagers to the mountains to wait.
Mother said that the eldest and second brothers should also go with her to meet the jackals.
Jiang Miaomiao nestled in her mother's arms and went to Qiao'er's home.
Her mother held her in one hand and the wooden box in the other.
Jiang Miaomiao found out that her mother was going to send money to her uncle's house again. Her mother made money very quickly.
Money is spent very quickly too.
The wounds on Liu Yu Niang and Jiang Qiao'er's faces had not healed, but they did not take leave to recuperate.
She was originally ashamed to see people, but her daughter wore a veil and went out without fear of what people said.
She was too embarrassed to hide at home.
Seeing Lu Qingyao, he was a little surprised, "Sister-in-law, didn't you go catch that bastard?"
Damn Jiang Yunyan! Damn Chu Yu!
As a result, the mother and daughter could not hold their heads up in front of the villagers.
"Xiu Xiu took Feng'er and Yan'er away."
"Feng'er and Yan'er are still children, how can they go?"
Lu Qingyao smiled, "Sister-in-law, they are not young anymore."
When her two brothers were this age, they had already watched the battle on the city wall with their father.
That was a sea of blood and corpses...
"Aunt, stop standing and sit down and talk."
Jiang Qiaoer hurriedly brought a stool, took the baby, and sat obediently next to the elder.
I dare not say much.
Don’t be fooled by the smiling face of my aunt, she is actually very cruel.
She only understood it after spending some time with him.
None of Liu Fugui, Aunt Wang, Master Tao, and that group of kidnappers had a good ending.
And my second uncle's concubine...
I'm afraid I'll never dare to set foot in Taoxi Village again.
Fortunately, her mother was a simpleton, but also a kindhearted person, so her aunt didn't offend her too much when she first came.
otherwise……
Jiang Qiaoer couldn't help but feel a little scared when she thought about it.
But Auntie had nothing to say about her family, and her eyes fell on the wooden box.
Lu Qingyao handed the box to Jiang Yunhu, "Brother and sister-in-law, these are the dividends from selling bamboo shoots for the past two months, one hundred and twenty taels. The price of bamboo shoots is low at the beginning of summer, so it's less than in previous months."
Jiang Yunhu didn't answer. "Sister-in-law, isn't it distributed every six months? Why is it only two months..."
Lu Qingyao told them the whole story.
"Brother, are you willing to partner in this business? I need to invest five hundred taels. Of course, you can invest less than five hundred taels. You can decide how much to invest."
"Five hundred taels?" Liu Yu Niang exclaimed.
She doesn't understand what profit-based distribution is.
She only knew that the money the family had saved with great difficulty was going to be spent before it even warmed up.
She couldn't bear to do that.
"How about we put in less, say one hundred taels?"
