One acre of land, not to mention other places, just according to the market conditions in Qiongshan County, no matter how barren you are, you can still sell two or three cents of silver.

A piece of land that belongs to you is of great significance to many people in this world, and no matter whether it is rural farmers or gentry or doctors, they are no exception.

Usually, the biggest source of income for a large family in a county town is the hundreds of acres, or even thousands of acres of land. The profit income of the shop is, except for some shops selling special necessities, and the rest are just "small heads".

However, Yu Qiao was in a hurry to take action, and there was nothing he could do if he sold it at a low price.

After dealing with his acre of land, Yu Qiao came to his shop.

This is an old street with low and simple houses on both sides, with sewage on the ground, which is all domestic wastewater. After use, you can directly open the door and go to the street.

Fortunately, there are people who buy and sell "gold juice" in Qiongshan County. Otherwise, if you go to the streets, you have to cover your mouth and nose.

Finally, Yu Qiao found his shop.

It is also a low and simple house, but compared to the houses of nearby houses, the tiles of this shop have been renovated, and the window paper was also replaced before the New Year to shelter from wind and rain.

Yu Qiao walked in.

There is an old man in this shop named Qian Dongzi. In his early years, Qian Dongzi came to join the cousin who worked in Yu's family. But his cousin left because of a cold wind, but Yu's family still accepted him.

But because Qian Dongzi had no money to respect the servants in charge of the Yu Mansion, Qian Dongzi was sent here to see the shop after entering the Yu Mansion.

Yu Qiao had talked to Qian Dongzi before, and Qian Dongzi still remembered Yu Qiao. Besides, before that, he had already asked someone to inquire about Yu Qiao's situation. Therefore, as soon as Yu Qiao entered the door, Qian Dongzi greeted him enthusiastically, and immediately poured hot tea for Yu Qiao and brought salt introductions.

The salt introduction looks like a document, which is the court's license to buy and sell official salt. Only with this salt introduction can you sell salt.

This salt introduction is undoubtedly the most valuable thing in this shop.

If it weren't for this salt introduction, even if he would offend the county magistrate, Yu Qiao wouldn't have agreed to Juren Lin.

He carefully checked the salt introduction and confirmed that it was correct, he said to Qian Dongzi: "You are doing well. I want to study and plan to take the exam for a juren next year. You will be responsible for this shop. This is three cents of silver, which is your monthly salary."

As he spoke, Yu Qiao took out three strings of copper coins.

A string of copper coins is a monday of silver.

These are all customized by the imperial court.

Because silver is usually used frequently by wealthy families and is widely circulated among the market, mainly copper coins.

Otherwise, there would be no different quality of silver, and the exchangeable copper coins would be different.

One or two high-quality silver can be exchanged for three thousand copper plates.

And the same one or two silvers, in most cases, can't replace 1,500 copper plates, or even barely replace 1,000 copper plates.

"Thank you, Master Xiucai!" Qian Dongzi hurriedly thanked and was very excited.

Three cents a month, this can be said to be a "high-paying" profession in Qiongshan County.

"How much salt is left in the shop?" Yu Qiao asked again.

"Scholar, there are not many." Qian Dongzi pointed to the clay pot on the shelf next to him and said, "There are still half a can left. After Brother Li came to take away the silver in the counter in the shop last month, he did not leave any silver for the purchase of goods for the villain, so the villain..."

As he said that, Qian Dongzi quickly handed the account book to Yu Qiao.

Yu Qiao glanced at it, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and said, "You wrote this?"

"Some of them are villains, most of which are recorded by Brother Li. Because Brother Li thinks it is troublesome to come here, he specially teaches villains to write and arithmetic, so villains can simply remember the account." Qian Dongzi quickly explained.

Yu Qiao nodded. He was sure that Qian Dongzi must have secretly "eated" some silver in private, but the amount was not large, so I guess there would be no one or two silvers in a few years. Otherwise, Qian Dongzi would definitely not be able to pass the record of the book proofreading at the end of each month.

So Yu Qiao didn't say anything, he just asked, "Where is the Brother Li you mentioned now? How many cabinets of silver have you taken away?"

"Li Ge was a accountant in Yu's mansion. He should be working in the Meng family now. If you want to know the silver in the box, it's this." Qian Dongzi specifically pointed out the records on the books to Yu Qiao.

Yu Qiao took a look and found that there were three or five cents of silver. He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Three taels and five cents of silver can barely be considered a small amount.

But this is calculated together with the principal and profit.

Yu Qiao knew the price of official salt. The profit margin of selling official salt is not large, mainly because of the stability. After all, individuals cannot do without eating salt.

The salt was monopolized by the court. Anyone who dared to make private salt had been confiscated and exterminated. If it was implicated in a wealthy family, it would even be even exposed to the ancestral tombs.

Kill one to warn a hundred people, no one dares to commit another crime now.

So Yu Qiao asked, "Meng Family? Which Meng Family?"

"It's the Meng family that had the best relationship with the mansion before." Qian Dongzi whispered.

Yu Qiao nodded and said that he knew.

It turned out to be the best friend of Meng Hechang, who is famous for "Yan Junzi", and Yu Shoutian had the best relationship during his lifetime.

But at this time, I heard Qian Dongzi's words clearly because after the family was destroyed, Yu Shoutian's friend Yan Junzi also ate a piece of fat from the Yu family.

"It's true that he's a gentleman..." Yu Qiao sneered in his heart, but he was not surprised by it.

There are still five or six thousand taels of silver in the Yu family's fields and shops, and it will take hundreds of taels of silver at a random bite. If it were Yu Qiao, Yu Qiao wouldn't be able to help it.

Thinking of this, Yu Qiao thought for a moment, then sighed and took out a silver ingot from his purse.

This is a standard ingot of five taels of silver.

It was him who came forward to save the old yellow dog in the lantern of Dr. Xu's house, and the thank-you gift from Dr. Xu later.

These five taels of silver are worth not!

Yu Qiao also understood that after the Liu family would not continue to threaten the old yellow dog lantern that was regarded as a relative by Dr. Xu, Dr. Xu was not going to let the lantern follow him, and he also asked him not to tell the lantern about it.

Otherwise, how could he have to give him five taels of silver?

"Get this ingot of silver, go and buy it! By the way, this shop will only sell salt in the future, and the rest, as long as it is recorded in the account book, will be sold at a discount."

Yu Qiao Ruo pointed at the account book casually.

This was just Yu Qiao's random finger, but Qian Dongzi's face turned pale, and then he quickly said that.

Yu Qiao nodded, then got up and left.
Chapter completed!
