BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1040
Seeing that her father was interested, Gu Xin tidied up her thoughts and said, ” “I also thought of it when I was registering. We’ll still use the method of the lantern show, but the target will be our Gu family and the common people. The Yamen will build a food street in the trading area. Those who are interested can come and rent it. We will teach them the craft, and once we teach them, they will earn money. They will give us five or ten taels of silver every month. If he gave two hundred taels, then he didn’t have to give it to him anymore. The craftsmanship would be his own. I’m sure the other five countries don’t have the food that our great Zhou has. Therefore, most of the money we earn is from the other five Nations. This way, our family will earn silver, and the people will earn silver. Won’t their lives get better and better? Of course, if they’re stupid and can’t learn it, we’ll let them rent the uncultivated land that uncle has cultivated and collect rent every year. They won’t be able to earn money by doing short-term work like this.”
Gu si said, ” third sister, when I went home last night, my father told me. He invited someone to explore the wasteland. Someone wants to rent land! However, I don’t have the seeds.”
Gu shouxin touched his chin,”the seeds are easy to handle. I can transfer them over from the prefecture.” Let me think, these two things are feasible.”
The three of them returned to the backyard to eat. At the table, Gu shouxin told them about Gu Xin’s suggestion.
Grandpa Gu was the first to agree. “Recently, I’ve talked to the old people in the city. Many people’s children have gone to other states to make a living. If there was something suitable for them in kun city, they wouldn’t have to leave their homes.”
There were very few young people in kun city. Previously, when Gu shouxin wanted to recruit bailiffs, he had to relax the age limit and even recruited a few women who were stronger than him and were in their thirties.
In kun city, most of the men were below 16 and above 40. The younger ones had almost all gone to make a living elsewhere. They might come back once a year, and some only came back once every two years.
Of course, uncle Gu also agreed. The happiest thing in his life was to look at the crops.
Cai Xiaolian, on the other hand, was interested in the food street and was thinking about Gu Xin’s suggestion.
After the whole Gu family discussed it, Gu shouxin made a complete plan and then asked the bailiff to go door to door to ask.
Anyone want to learn how to make snacks? To earn some silver to make a living!
Anyone want to farm? In the first year, the Yamen would distribute seeds for free. The Gu family had land to rent, or you could go and explore if you wanted.
The people in kun city had never thought about land reclamation. Since the Gu family arrived here, they had already cleared out many lands. Now that spring plowing had begun, would it be too late for them to start land reclamation?
I’d better rent land and try it!
On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Gu Nian took the glass out.
She immediately decided to build herself a bright laboratory.
On the 21st, she brought Gu Xin and Gu si out of the city to find a site for her laboratory.
She had her own laboratory in the Gu family, which was used to study some small things. Some things could not be studied in the house. It would not be good if an explosion occurred.
The Three Sisters brought white two out of the city.
The weather at the end of the first month was very good. They didn’t take the carriage, but rode on horses.
After exiting the northeast gate, they left the main road and headed towards a small path.
White six and white eight had already scouted out the surroundings of kun city over the past two months. It was the perfect time to introduce the place to Gu Nian.
