Chapter 103 Look Who's Coming
Regardless of natural disasters or man-made disasters, food is an urgent need, and the price is sky-high. Let alone brewing wine, even if you want to buy it, you may not have it.
As for writing brushes, even if they dare to risk going to the city, in troubled times the imperial examinations cannot be held normally and the academies cannot be opened normally, how many people are willing to buy writing brushes?
We still don’t know what the market will be like next year, so we have to make as much money as possible during this winter!
Shui Qing took out the wooden box containing the silver.
Counted carefully.
They originally had one hundred and seventy-seven taels of silver, which they spent on bricks and tiles, wages for helpers, bricklayers, and carpenters, and food expenses for more than twenty days...a total of ninety-eight taels were spent.
However, I have sold writing brushes three times in the past 20 days, and with the income from selling rice wine every day, my savings have not decreased, but are much more than before.
There are more than three hundred and sixty taels of silver!
Before today, Shui Qing thought she was so rich.
He lives in a big courtyard house, with fields and land on three hills. He has a balance of more than 170,000 yuan in the shopping mall and more than 300 taels of silver in hand.
There is food in the warehouse and fresh vegetables in the vegetable field every day. We also feed forty or fifty chickens, more than a dozen little rabbits, five or six sheep, and three piglets.
Are there any real winners in life?
Isn’t that enough to deal with next year’s floods?
But when I heard the news that there might be a war, I suddenly felt that it was not enough, not enough at all, not anywhere!
In addition to vegetables, money, food, meat, etc. are not enough!
The warehouse must be fully stocked with food. You can still raise a lot of chickens, rabbits, sheep, and pigs. In the next four years, when the outside world will be burned, killed, looted, and messed up, and you can't go out often, you must ensure that the family can't run out of food.
Even though there is a mall there, you have to have a cover when you take it out, right?
You can't have rabbits and sheep, but you can still eat rabbit and mutton every three days, right?
Fan Jin looked at the pieces of silver in the wooden box, his eyebrows lowered and he said worriedly: "If things don't go smoothly in the future, it won't be safe to keep the silver at home."
Shui Qing also knows.
Not to mention that it will not be safe in the future, even now she is worried if she goes out. After all, more than three hundred taels of silver is really a huge sum of money.
I really want to buy a locker. Not only can I keep my money safely, but also if the vegetables in the vegetable field have been harvested, the wine has been made too much, and if there are too many pigs to kill next year, they can all be put in the locker.
It can also hold the most important self-defense weapon!
But when he thought of the price of 100,000 cubic meters, Shui Qing immediately stopped and said, "If we don't put it at home, there's no place to put it. It's not cost-effective for us to buy a locker with our balance."
Spend 100,000 yuan to buy a locker and put 300 taels of silver in it?
Might as well have a six-digit password protecting a two-digit deposit.
At least the password is free.
"I'm not talking about buying lockers, I'm talking about not putting all the money in our house." Fan Jin understood that Shui Qing had misunderstood what he meant, so he explained in a soft tone.
Shui Qing understands, does this mean that eggs cannot be put in one basket?
Indeed, this is all their belongings. It would be terrible if they were all taken away from them!
"Then divide the five children? That Ling Ran"
Fan Jin pondered: "Let's share a little. If he gets separated or something happens later, he will have more money to survive, and he will have more hope of survival."
Once the world is in chaos, we must prepare for the worst.
Shui Qing thought that even in the 1980s and 1990s, people often hid money in socks and underwear when traveling. At that time, underwear often had a small pocket inside.
But that was money, now this is money, socks and underwear are definitely not enough.
She recalled the novels she had read in the past. How did people who fled or did business hide their money?
correct!
"Tomorrow you take two hundred taels of silver to the silversmith and beat them all into thin thin slices!"
Fan Jin was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized and asked, "Are you going to hide it in your clothes?"
Shui Qing nodded: "What I'm thinking about is that you can't wear silver hairpins, nor silver bracelets. If there are really disaster victims and chaos coming, isn't this just plainly calling me a fat sheep?
Let's take apart the edge sealing at the hem of the coat, and carefully sew the thin silver strip inside without being noticeable at all. This silver can easily move, and it might become life-saving money! "
Fan Jin thought of adding: "Except for buying some necessities that cannot be bought in the mall, we have to keep all the remaining money."
Shuiqing's eyes flashed with confusion.
"The world is unstable. Even if we can go out, food will be extremely expensive and in small quantities. It doesn't make sense to exchange food for bamboo mushrooms, skirt mushrooms, and chicken head rice;
We had to buy it with silver, and the reason was easy to find, so we just said we would dry it and save it, and then give it away when the world becomes more stable. "Fan Jin didn't let Shui Qing wait and quickly answered her questions.
The mall must ensure there are deposits, the more the better!
With the mall, you are guaranteed no matter where you are. This is a real life-saving existence.
Shui Qing also agrees with this.
Business in the mall must be done!
She couldn't leave it behind. She just didn't expect it for a moment, but now after being reminded by Fan Jin, she realized that the more than three hundred silver deposits were too little.
There is even less money to use!
She sighed quietly: "It would be great if there was another large sum of money coming into the account."
Fan Jin laughed, where would the money come from?
The daily income from rice wine is clear at a glance, and the calligraphy brush business is even more clear.
However, "Don't worry, the new emperor has only inherited the throne for a few months, and it is not that fast to reduce the vassal status. Moreover, even if he starts to reduce the vassal status, it will take more than ten months to have so many vassal kings." ?
When it's King Yan's turn, it may be a year or two later. By then, we may have accumulated a lot of money by selling brushes and rice wine. "
Ling Ran said that the late emperor had more than twenty sons. After deducting the deceased among them, there are still more than twenty sons left including those who were crowned kings by their clansmen.
Among these twenty-odd people, the nine vassal kings with heavy troops stationed on the border are the most powerful, and they are also the targets that the new emperor really wants to get rid of.
If Shui Qing hadn't taken a history class, he would have believed this.
But why their new emperor failed was because he didn't plan for success at all, but was eager for success, deposing three vassal kings in a month!
After a series of deaths and derogations, who can not resist?
Just like Ling Ran said, the new emperor's path was so smooth that he had no scruples and thought that he could do whatever he wanted and that whatever he did was right.
Now she only hopes that the plot will deviate, not follow the original development!
In that case, maybe there will be no rebellion from the feudal king...
It's a good idea, but don't think about it.
In today's situation, we can only prepare for the worst, otherwise we won't even be able to cry when the day comes!
There are old people at the top and young people at the bottom. The last thing they can do is take risks, let alone fight uncertain battles.
The door suddenly banged, and Fan Jiang's loud voice of excitement and joy came:
"Auntie, daddy, come out quickly."
"Look who's here!"
