Chapter 326： spend money

The kindergarten plans to build three large canteens. In the future, children will eat together in the canteens. In addition, classrooms will also be built. Since there are many children of all ages, they must be taught separately. Among them, there are literacy classes and others. Learn various crafts.

You need to buy a lot of tools. To learn woodworking, you need a saw, a knife, etc., right? To learn to calculate accounts, you have to do something like abacus?

This is a lot of money.

Qi Haoran was proud to show Mu Yangling around, but when he saw what she had written down later, he couldn't help but worry, "Do you have enough money?"

"It doesn't matter, if it's not enough, just ask Zijin for it."

"Yes, Zijin is rich," Qi Haoran immediately felt relieved, "If you can't speak well, I'll go and ask for it for you."

Mu Yangling stopped, looked up and asked him, "Did you go to He Zijin to get money recently?"

Qi Haoran nodded, "The Hu people have a special kind of machete. I plan to distribute them to the cavalry battalion. I bought 500 of them in one go, so I spent a lot of money."

Mu Yangling hated that iron could not become steel and said, "Fan Zijin can't make enough money for you to spend it like this. Why do you have to buy five hundred? Buy ten or so and ask the craftsmen to study it slowly. Now, can't you fight yourself?"

"Is the knife smuggled from the Jin Kingdom?"

Qi Haoran nodded, "Otherwise, where do you think it came from? If it was in our big week, I would have brought someone to seal the shop, so I wouldn't have to buy it."

The control of iron was very strict in the imperial court. People who made iron must obtain documents from the yamen, and there were restrictions on the amount of pig iron they could buy each time.

Qi Haoran bought 500 pieces in one go, which was impossible to buy in Da Zhou.

Mu Yangling felt even more distressed. The price of these weapons was not low when they were smuggled from the Jin Kingdom. She reluctantly asked, "How much is a piece?"

Qi Haoran touched his head and smiled, "It's not particularly expensive, forty-five taels."

Mu Yangling almost wanted to stretch out his feet and kick people flying, "That's enough to buy a foal."

"That knife is really good. It's sharp and durable. I'll bring you one later. You can try it out. After all, you have to cross the border. The other party also bought it from Jinbing, so it's more expensive."

Mu Yangling gritted his teeth, and then said enviously, "If only I had a Fan Zijin." No matter how much money was spent, someone would pay for it.

She took advantage of Fan Zijin, as if she wanted his life.

"You better give the knives to the craftsmen to study and study. Find a few more people, and you will definitely be able to make them. Then you won't have to buy them anymore. It's a waste of money." Mu Yangling asked Qi Haoran to buy something in the future. Discuss with her or Fan Zijin, their money is not from the wind, it is all hard earned.

Especially Fan Zijin, in order to make money, he even delayed his schoolwork.

I heard that Qi Xiuyuan was arrested two days ago and went back to study in the study room.

"My eldest brother wants Zijin to go back to take the imperial examination. Next year will be the township examination every three years."

Mu Yangling couldn't help but stop, "Fan Zijin is a scholar?"

Qi Haoran glanced at her and said proudly, "Otherwise, what do you think? He was born a child at the age of nine, a scholar at the age of eleven, and a talented person even in Lin'an. Just said, he will be able to play in one more session, at least a 70% chance of winning, next year happens to be the second session, hahaha, a sixteen-year-old Juren! Hahaha...how about it, Zijin is amazing, right?"

Mu Yangling knew that Fan Zijin was smart, but he never thought he was so smart!

The township exam is even more difficult than the college entrance examination in their previous life. Although they come and go with just those books, they need to answer the questions well. There are not one or two extra-curricular books. You should also read them roughly, and talk about a historical event, no matter how big or small, you should follow it up.

Of course, it may not be too difficult for those who have passed the college entrance examination in their previous lives. After all, they have done all the books, but what about choosing 200 students out of 30,000 or 40,000 students?

This selection ratio is too small, and there are more students in Lin'an Prefecture. Only about 80,000 people are competing for more than 200 places in the township examination, not to mention the ability to try, that is, the students from all over the country will not be able to compete for 500 places. 's quota.

Mu Yangling sighed sincerely, but still said: "Fan Zijin has been focusing on doing business for the past two years, what do you think his chances of winning are?"

Qi Haoran was silent.

Mu Yangling sighed and said, "I think it's better to let him wait for another three years, that's more certain." Mu Yangling glanced at him and said, "You also save him a little bit of worry, maybe he will put More time for homework."

Qi Haoran was stunned for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, let him study hard, then Mu Yangling, you can help him, you can also do business, you can take over and let him have more time to study."

Mu Yangling rolled his eyes rudely and said, "Which one of your eyes sees that I can do business? I can only farm and sell sheep and cattle, so I might as well leave it to the steward below."

"That's true," Qi Haoran nodded and said, "You look smart, but you're actually very stupid."

Mu Yangling glared at him, "Where am I stupid?"

Qi Haoran smiled, "I don't believe you if you say you are stupid. If you run a kindergarten, you will lose money, or you will lose money, but you insist on doing it. What is it that you are not stupid?"

"I'm happy." Mu Yangling raised his head and turned away.

Qi Haoran hurriedly chased after him and said in a low voice, "I'll be leaving Hanzhong Mansion in the next two days. Give me the gift of the Winter Solstice tomorrow."

When did I say I was going to give you a gift for the winter solstice?

Looking at Qi Haoran who was looking at her eagerly, Mu Yangling didn't say the words, but nodded, "You should pay more attention to your own safety." He didn't ask him where he was going.

Qi Haoran's round face was suddenly full of smiles, and he nodded cheerfully, "I must pay attention to safety."

When Mu Yangling went back, he was thinking about what gift to give Qi Haoran, Xiuhong came to her with the account book, "Cousin, I have already discussed with the cotton cloth dealer and cotton, this is the price, but who do we call to sew? It's expensive to hand over to a clothing store."

"The prefect of Fang won't be delayed for long. When the time comes, people will be sent to pick people from the inside, and all the women who can make clothes will be left to make clothes. When you go back, you can call out a few children of height and measure them, and just follow them. Be large, medium and small for your height and send the assignments."

Xiuhong responded, and wrote down what Mu Yangling said.

"When supervising, keep your eyes open. Don't let people take things out. Our money is already low. If we let people go out, the clothes will really not be enough for children."

Xiuhong hesitated: "Cousin, those old people are also very pitiful."

"I know, but now we can only take care of the children first. You should also pay attention to the elderly. If you have a headache, remember to call a doctor, and the medical expenses will be charged to our account."

She doesn't even think about making winter clothes for the old man. Her current budget is about to exceed all the savings in the family. Now she can only hope to butcher Qin and Butcher Hua, and hope that they will come soon, and then the sheep seller will be taken away. Going out, maybe you can earn extra money to buy them winter clothes before the coldest weather.
