"That's right." Mr. Qu said: "Crimson and gold are both festive colors, and people in Fucheng like it very much."
As soon as the cloth arrived at the cloth store, it was all robbed, and there were many wealthy people. Every household went directly to the dyeing shop to place an order, so even if the crimson and gold color soup sold for three taels of silver a jar, Fourth Master Qu was still rushing to buy it.
Master Qu called his nephew again: "Hurry up and bring the books you prepared!"
"Here it comes!" Quda brought a box over, bang, put it in At Grandpa Qin's feet, he then looked at Grandpa Qin without speaking.
Master Qu felt like hitting him: "Are you mute? Can't you speak?"
Just put it at your feet like this. Mr. Qin knows what you want to do?
Quda then said: "Village Chief Qin, I heard that the children of Qin Jiang and Xu Qiao's family are going to study, so I sorted out the books I have learned before and sent them to your family."< br>
He opened the box, pointed to the books inside and said: "From painting, enlightenment, to studying scriptures, there are all of them. There is also my cousin. Here are the annotations and notes after we read them!”
Grandpa Qin was overjoyed: “There are also annotations and notes, sir? Thank you very much.”
The books of today are relatively obscure. It's difficult to understand, but this book contains annotations, detailed explanations, and notes from people who have read it. It's like having an extra teacher teaching children.
Fourth Master Qu smiled and said: "Our two families will continue to cooperate for a long time. Mr. Qin does not need to be polite... Is Brother Jiang here? My nephew admires his bravery very much and wants to have a chat with him to increase his experience."
Grandpa Qin shook his head: "Unfortunately, he went to Fenfang Yard again."
If he really accompanied Mr. Lin to Fenfang Yard, then his book was delivered too early!
Master Qu was very sorry, but he said: "It doesn't matter, we have to stay for a few more days, as long as he can return to the village within these few days."
After that, no Later, I took my nephew with me and drove the empty cart to the town.
Fourth Master Qu told his nephew in detail in the car: "Vice General Liang has sent news to the Wen family, saying that he accepted the gift on behalf of His Majesty, so you have to run to the Qin family these days and stay here for a while. You must meet Mr. Lin and show your face to him all day long, got it?”
Quda was afraid: "Fourth Uncle, is this too obvious? What if Mr. Tao knows about it? He, he is not good..."
"Shut up!" Fourth Master Qu said angrily : "If you dare to speak out against your master in private in the future, you don't need to take action. I'll kiss you I'll destroy you."
Seeing that Quda's eyes were red with grievance, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he softened his tone and said: "Things in this world are not just about the immediate, but about the long-term. Decades from now, your generation will determine whether Qu Jia will be a semi-professional in a few decades. Should I be a slave or a master?”
“Brother Da, the Qin and Jiang families are not ordinary people, especially the daughter of the Qin family and Jiang Dalang, so you must learn from Jia Xiang, make friends with Jiang Dalang, and borrow their It’s my job to help the Qu family break free from their shackles, do you understand?”
"Understood." Quda nodded, but was still afraid of the Wen family's blame: "Where's Mr. Tao?"
Qu Siye said: "It's just a communication between juniors, and you are the one going to interact. It’s not like Brother Wen or Brother Zhao, the master’s family won’t care.”
They might even laugh at Brother Da, thinking that Brother Da is wasting his efforts.
He said again: "Don't worry, you must be sincere and don't fool me. In terms of fooling you, you will never be as good as the Qin and Jiang families."
Qu Da is naive Nodding: "Yes, my nephew understands. Fourth uncle, don't worry... Fourth uncle, my nephew will work hard!"
He didn't want his fourth uncle to be forced to kneel and humiliate in public by the Wen family again, so he would work hard to climb Jiang Dalang, climb Lin Zongqi, climb the Northwest Army and Xinhuang, in order to help the family.
“You kid.” Fourth Master Qu smiled, feeling very pleased.
......
Early the next morning, Quda came by car and said euphemistically: "Village Chief Qin, I'm here to see the excitement, gain knowledge, and help!" After saying this, everyone who came to sell grass thought he was crazy.
But...
"I heard that scholars from aristocratic families like to wander around in the countryside, saying that they are called study tours and imitating saints. This Qu family has some connections with aristocratic families, and I guess they also like to pretend to be like this."
Quda was only thirteen years old and had a thin skin. He heard the villagers talking and looked down at his shoes.
Grandpa Qin smiled and said: "Young Master Qu, then you can take your servants to the side to maintain order. If Cunquan and Xiaogu are too busy, go and help with the registration."< br>
Qin Xiaogu called him: "Master Qu, we read the book your family sent last night. It was very useful, but I can't understand some of it. Can you teach me when you are not busy later? ?”
"Yes!" Quda was extremely happy. After arranging his servants to maintain order, he ran to Qin Xiaogu to keep him company.
The old village chief Zhou was so angry that he scolded Mr. Zhou: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you go and recommend yourself to teach the children of the Qin family to study!"
What a great opportunity! , but we can’t give it to the Qu family in vain.
I cursed Fourth Master Qu secretly in my heart... I looked down on the Qin family before, but now I realized that I had made a mistake and sent a junior over to curry favor with the Qin family's junior, shameless!
Master Zhou smiled, he really convinced his own father...
Dang, Dang, Dang!
There was a sound of gongs, and Lu Sanpang shouted: "The hay collection convoy is here again, everyone, please give way!"
Secretary Lu also came, and his face was full of people. He walked over with a smile and shouted: "Village Chief Qin, it's my nephew's hay collection team. As soon as they arrived at Lu's house yesterday, I led people to check the hay overnight. They were all washed and dried, and there was nothing useless. The best of weed You are so lustful!”
He called his nephew again: “Ah, please bring me the gift and thank Village Chief Qin’s family for giving you the job!”
“Uncle is here!” Shen Daocheng He hurriedly came over with two loads of generous gifts, piled them on the registration table, saluted Grandpa Qin, and said: "Thank you to Village Chief Qin's family for the work. I can earn twenty taels of silver from such a trip."
< br>
Although it is cumbersome to go to a distant place to collect colored grass, you can earn twenty taels of silver in one trip. If you make several trips a year, you can earn hundreds of taels of silver. In this countryside, it is already an extremely good way out. .
Grandpa Qin said with a smile: "It's difficult to transport the grass back and forth. Now that you help collect the grass and deliver it, my family and the villagers selling grass far away can save a lot of hard work. It's a good thing that kills three birds with one stone. No need to thank you."
But...
Grandpa Qin said: "This is the harvest. Your family can't set the price too low."
Secretary Lu hurriedly said: "Village Chief Qin, don't worry, I have repeatedly told him that this price can only be compared with yours. The price is three cents lower. If he dares to lower the price of grass sold by the folks from far away, then he will not do this business.”
Shen Dian directly handed over the account book: "Village Chief Qin, I registered the grass when I collected it. Can you please take a look and see if the price is acceptable?"
Grandpa Qin looked at it and said with a smile: "Fuck it A pound of madder root costs seven cents, indeed. It’s three cents lower than mine, and the price is right. It’s not bad.”
He said again: “Bring the hay into the west of the village.”
“Hey!” Shen Du said happily. Drove grass into the village in a convoy.
Because Vice General Liang wanted to report the situation of the new dye business to the new emperor, before going to Fenfang Yuan, General Lin Qi specially left a literate soldier in the village to check on the situation.
The soldiers were very happy when they saw this: "This new dye is really powerful. It has stimulated other businesses and created more wealth for the villagers."
