Chapter 34
The desert is no different than that of the Southern Dynasties, and there are more people raising horses and more horse farms, but that doesn't mean horses aren't rare.
In fact, it would be good for ordinary people to have a mule cart and an ox cart.
horse?
Don’t even think about it!
Not only because the price is expensive, but also because the horse farm is not something that ordinary people can contact. Even if there are horse dealers, most of them sell to familiar customers. Without them, ordinary people with no connections will have nothing to do!
Xie Zhan rolled his eyes, "It's a coincidence. When I came back, I met a horse dealer who had no money to stay in an inn. I helped him pay out the money to stay in the inn. He didn't want to repay me, so he gave me a gift.
A horse can be used to pay debts. How do I know if it is a good horse? Can Uncle Ming help me take a look?"
Hearing what he said, Mingxiu couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was used to saying nice things, but who would believe this?
Ming's father and Ming's mother really believed it.
"He has never seen a few cows in his life, so he can tell you how to judge a horse. I think it's very good. You are a good person and you will be rewarded." Ming's mother mercilessly demolished her husband's trap, "All the way
Are you okay? Do you have enough money on you?"
Although ten taels of silver is considered a big price here, Ming's mother knows that when it comes time to use the money, what is ten taels of silver?
Nothing!
What's more, Xie Zhan also helped another horse dealer. Although he seemed to be making a profit, the horse couldn't be worth cash!
"That's enough. Don't worry, Auntie. Thanks to Mingxiu, I've made some money along the way." He looked around and said with a smile, "I still have a few friends in the capital. I'll let them
With your help, our method of raising soil has sold for a lot of money!"
"Really?! That's great. You seem to be in good spirits. You seem to have endured no hardship."
Ming's mother pulled her husband and asked him to go back to the house to talk. Didn't you see that since Xie Zhan came back, more people "passed by" their house intentionally or unintentionally?
It all depends on the situation.
Even if you have money, you should be more cautious.
Ming's father came to his senses and said, "Let's go back and ask your aunt to cut two kilograms of meat and get a pot of wine. If anything happens along the way, let's talk to my uncle."
The family entered the house with Xie Zhan and watched the excitement without seeing anything.
I only vaguely heard that Xie Zhan had some friends in the capital and had returned with a lot of money.
Who are his friends in the capital? How much money did he earn?
They heard nothing about the things they were curious about.
But one thing that is certain is that Xie Zhan is willing to come back after making money, just to help the Ming family.
If Xie Zhan really has some ability, then the Ming family is about to rise!
"Where's the silver?"
"What money?" Ming's father looked at the two younger ones in confusion, as if they were hiding something from him.
Mingxiu thought about it, she couldn't hide this matter from Ming's father, and she didn't want Ming's father to think that all the good sons were Xie Zhan's. The identity of this person was unknown. If there was any danger, Ming's father was not prepared.
What should I do if I get reckless?
"I have slightly improved the soil-raising method for our family. The effect is better than the original one. Dad, do you know what this means?"
"This...this..." Ming's father was at a loss, "Xiu'er, do you still have this ability?"
As a father, he didn't know anything about it, which was really shameful.
He was ashamed that he didn't have a daughter to help him, and he was even more ashamed that he didn't know about Mingxiu's research until he converted it into money.
"It's all here." Xie Zhan directly put one hundred and fifty taels of silver on the table, "I used some off and on on the way, and I still have this much left."
"The agreed one hundred taels is one hundred taels, you can keep the extra for yourself." Seeing Xie Zhan was about to refuse, Mingxiu said again, "Just consider it as your hard work for traveling all the way."
His hard work cost only fifty taels of silver?
Xie Zhan smiled bitterly. If in the past, even 55,000 silver could not hire him, would he be a bit cheap in Mingxiu's eyes?
"Why are there so many?"
Ming's father was not dissatisfied because Mingxiu took the initiative to give the extra fifty taels to Xie Zhan. On the contrary, he was extremely panicked.
How come my family has a hundred taels of silver without saying a word?
Even though he doted on his daughter, Ming's father could not rest assured.
He looked directly at Mingxiu and Xie Zhan, asking them to give an explanation.
"...Dad, do you know how valuable the method of improving the land is? Not to mention a hundred taels, even tens of thousands of taels are worth it."
Ming's father frowned, "What nonsense are you kidding? Even if it's worth it, this method belongs to Xie Zhan. What does it have to do with us? How can we have the dignity to take money?" As he said this, he wanted to return the silver to Xie Zhan.
Zhan.
"Uncle Ming, I originally had this method, but during the experiment, I found many things that didn't work. Only with Mingxiu's improvements can it be carried out easily and smoothly. It stands to reason that she will be beneficial to the country and the people. If the emperor
I know, even the princess deserves it, but it's a pity that we are just ordinary people, we can't go to heaven to answer, and we can't keep the things we want."
Xie Zhan felt a little ashamed as he spoke.
"It seems that I was useless, so I only brought back a hundred taels of silver, which cost your family a lot of credit."
"Princess?! No, no, no, how come the princess is something that ordinary people like us can think of? You did the right thing, it would be great if you can have money, and you can pay back so much..."
Ming's father believed what Xie Zhan and Mingxiu said, but he still felt that it was not worth so much money.
To him, this silver was as unstable as being blown by a strong wind!
"This is what we deserve. If I hadn't thought too much, we wouldn't have been able to save our family, and that's not all."
One hundred taels is the amount that Mingxiu thinks is most suitable for his family. It can keep their family living a good life for a period of time and they can also farm and build houses. After everything is done, there will be only a few left. This is
If someone wants to come to your door and cause trouble, you can fight back.
All things considered.
Of course, this is with the support of both parents.
If, like last time, people gave away their family's land as soon as they asked, even Mingxiu, with his extraordinary abilities, would not be able to do anything about it.
It is true that they are doing it for their daughter's benefit, but Mingxiu's benefit is really...
"You're right, it would be great to have these, but they must be kept secret and not allowed to be known to outsiders!"
"I will tell my mother later, but..." Mingxiu hesitated, "Dad, our family is going to build a house in the spring. Even if we hide it, we can't hide it for long. Instead of hiding it, it's better to build a house."
Fang Fang lets people know that Xie Zhan made money by using our family's method of raising land, just don't mention the amount."
If someone comes back to ask the Ming family to hand over the method to the village without taking any money, there will be something to say.
Outsiders tried their best to provide money to build a house for their family. Even though the villagers were fellow villagers, they still settled the accounts clearly.
