Chapter 223 The Workshop Half an hour later, Li Shimin's mood continued to fluctuate as he continued to flip through the ledger.
His idea was similar to Fang Xuanling's at first, thinking that families with higher incomes would be given priority, which he was not surprised by.
But as he flipped through it, he realized that the immortals were arranged like this.
Because there is no pattern at all. The first one is still an income of [-] guan, the next one is an income of [-] guan, and the next page turns to an income of [-] guan.
In the end, he discovered that this registration was done at random. He just registered with whichever house he met, and there was no order according to any rules.
Especially when he saw that a member of the Ji clan named Ji Shan had made five hundred guan in half a year, this made him a little dizzy.
There was also a widowed woman of the Ji family named Ji Liuniang who also made nearly [-] yuan in half a year, which made him think that Ji Song was joking with him!
But he knew that the account book was correct, because it could not withstand inspection at all, and it was impossible for Ji Song to do such a thing with his caution.
"What on earth is going on? Are my people so rich already?" Li Shimin asked in a tone of voice, staring at Ji Song.
In fact, he himself didn't believe what he said. After the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he knew best what the life of the people in the world was like.
Maybe Guanzhong has not gone through too much war, but if you want to reach this level, even the founding emperor's heyday is far behind!
"Your Majesty and Wei Chen will understand after you come and take a look!"
After Ji Song finished speaking, he walked out the door. Li Shimin and the other three looked at each other and followed him out without saying anything. They wanted to see what tricks this kid was playing! After leaving the academy and walking on the country paths filled with the fragrance of birds and flowers, stepping on the hard bluestone, they gradually calmed down.
At this time, it was the time when the villagers were cooking. Some women were picking vegetables in the yard, and the children were doing what they could with their parents.
In a house with the door open, there was also a woman busy.
Seeing Brother Song leading the three of them to the door of her house, the woman quickly wiped her hands clean on her apron and stepped forward to greet him: "Why is Brother Song here? Since he is here, let's go inside first Sit down, the food will be ready in a moment.”
Ji Song quickly stopped her and said, "Sixth Aunt, stop working so hard. These are my elders. I want to come over and take a look at your property. Isn't it convenient?"
Then someone said to Li Shimin and others: "This is Song's sixth aunt. You should have seen his son."
"Could it be that Ji family who was driven back by her husband's family? What do you call the mother who gave birth to her child first?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong with the surrounding atmosphere.
Ji Song looked helpless, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng looked like I don't know you, and turned their heads away. Ji Liuniang's eyes turned red and her face was dejected.
Li Shimin was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. Only then did he realize that what he had just said was a little out of his mind. Can he say this in front of others? "What, I really didn't mean it."
Li Shimin was at a loss and really didn't know what to say.
"Young lady, I understand that noble people don't have to be like this. If Brother Song hadn't seen me and my children pitifully, we would have starved to death somewhere."
Ji Song interrupted her and said, "Sixth Aunt, why are you talking about this? My family had a hard time before, and we couldn't help it. Don't blame them."
"If you want to blame me, the clan leader should blame me for not doing a good job, allowing you and your children to be so bullied by the Liu family. Now that Xiancheng has grown up and is good at learning and martial arts, your time to enjoy happiness has just come!" Liu Gu thought of her own family. This time his son followed his family elders to the south for business, and he couldn't help but feel proud. He had long since put away the grievances in his heart.
Wiping his eyes, he said to Ji Song: "Don't you want to see the Jamsil? But there is nothing interesting there now, only the dyeing side is still busy."
"Take us to see it. My nephew is a bit unqualified as the leader of the clan. You have done such a big thing and I haven't seen it yet. I really shouldn't have seen it!" Ji Song said with a smile.
These words also made Liu Gu chuckle, hit him, and said: "Okay, stop being naughty like this, Auntie. We, the elders, don't know what you are doing?
If you hadn't been there to protect us from the wind and rain, no matter how big a thing we did, we would have been eaten up by those people. "
After saying that, he asked Ji Song to wait for a while. He had to explain to his mother.
"Has anyone ever caused trouble for you?" Li Shimin asked thoughtfully.
Ji Song was stunned and immediately knew who he was talking about.
"I've been here before, but after being taught a lesson by the boy, I became more honest." Ji Song talked for a while and stopped dwelling on this topic.
Li Shimin and Wei Zhengfang Xuanling also understand that some things are unavoidable. Ji Song can do this, which shows that he does not want to provoke them at this time.
After a while, the sixth aunt came out. She changed into a pair of coarse clothes, which looked like what she usually wears.
"Let's go! We just have time to eat when we get back from the show!" Liu Gu said, holding Ji Song's hand.
Ji Song also held her arm and smiled and said: "Then I have to taste your cooking. I heard that you have secretly learned a lot from the cooking skills at home. You can't hide it later!"
"Bah, what are you studying secretly? Your aunt and I studied openly, but your cook is so stupid that he doesn't even know when I learned it? When cooking mutton, don't just put a few pine sticks in it. What's so rare about that?Still hiding it from others? "
After saying that, he realized that there were outsiders here, and whispered to Ji Song: "They won't listen, right?"
Li Shimin heard a black line from behind, who was he guarding against? Ji Song suppressed his laughter and quickly told her no, which made her sigh in relief.
Liugu took them directly to a slope behind Zhuangzi. This is where Ji's workshops are concentrated. Many industries are located here, and there are usually more than a dozen soldiers guarding them day and night.
Walking up the hillside, Li Shimin and the other three felt that their eyes suddenly opened up. Under the slope was a large building with a large area. At this time, people inside were constantly moving around and busy with something.
Ji Song introduced: "There are perfume making workshops, paper making workshops, bean sprouts and bean products workshops, and of course Liu Gu's silkworm room and dyeing workshop."
Ji Song kept introducing them to them along the way, which opened their eyes to several people.
This kind of large-scale concentration of workshops from different industries appeared for the first time in the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention other things, based on the scale of these workshops and secret estimates, they knew that it could feed at least a thousand people.
This made them speechless. This kid, who usually kept quiet, actually made so many industries here.
Which of these industries outside can easily create a few wealthy families?But now they are all concentrated here. I have to lament that there is only a wrong name, not a wrong nickname. The name of the God of Wealth is well-deserved! (End of this chapter)
