It's not scary to travel through a book, you can change your fate as a cannon fodder by yoursel

"If there is a suitable house, you can move out. I have no intention of chasing you away. Even if you move out, Xiaoliu can still stay at home. There are many people at home, so you can lend a hand."

"Is it because I leave early and come back late that it affects everyone?" Pei Jun asked when he thought of this.

Weng Xiaoxiao didn't hide it, she lowered her head and drank a mouthful of porridge, and after swallowing it, she said: "It's a little bit. If you move out, it will be convenient for you to do things. It's convenient."

Pei Jun nodded. His boss was an upright person and he shouldn’t be suspicious.

"The carpenter's workshop has finished the toys. I need you to find a shop in the downtown area, as big as possible. I plan to set up a place for children to play in the shop. If they find the toys fun, adults will buy from us."

This is a really good idea! Pei Jun was impressed.

"Is it urgent?"

"It would be best if we could open it before the New Year and make some holiday money."

Pei Jun nodded in agreement. He was most familiar with the brokerage firm, so it would not be difficult for him to find a shop.

The boss is not a profit-driven businessman, but he always comes up with some novel and good ideas, and knows how to seize business opportunities. It is rewarding to be a subordinate following such a person.

He often went to inspect the pickle shop, but since the shop was already running smoothly, he didn't need to worry about it. Now he had a new task, and he was full of energy.

"We also need to find a few literate young men who are lively, like children, and can play with children."

It is easiest to earn money from children, but in this era, we can only earn money from rich people. The poor are lucky enough to have enough to eat and not go hungry. How can they buy toys for their children!

The novelty of the things is one thing, but the service must also be up to par, and only by appeasing the little customers can you sell things.

As for the shop manager, he can be promoted from his original shop.

Pei Jun listened very carefully and silently took note of Weng Xiaoxiao's request.

"How is the price of rice these days?"

"The price of a bushel of rice has risen from 60 coins to 70 coins, and there are limits on how much you can buy. No matter how much the price rises, what can the people do? They always spend their earnings buying rice first."

Because of this, the villagers in Maoxian changed their wages into food distribution. Since they could not get help from outside, they could only take care of those around them first.

"I remember you said last time that you met a businessman who was doing overseas business?"

"Yes, he sailed from Quanzhou to Luzon, Ryukyu and other places, trading goods back and forth and making a lot of profit."

Corn and sweet potatoes are high-yield crops brought from overseas. If they can be promoted, they can at least solve the food problem for many people.

These two crops are highly adaptable and can be grown all over the world.

The Book of History says: "Three years of plenty, three years of poverty. Six years of minor disasters, twelve years of major disasters." This was the celestial phenomenon during the Yao and Shun eras, and successive years of good weather and good harvests were just a luxury.

At present, the war in the north has not affected many places, and there have been no major disasters, so the impact on people's lives is not that great. However, if the war continues for a few years, it is hard to say.

It is always advisable to plan ahead and make more preparations.

If a great disaster strikes, money is not enough to buy food and drink. Weng Xiaoxiao has dug a large cellar in her yard. Ping An and Shun Sui carry the food in at night. When it comes to saving lives, Weng Xiaoxiao is always cautious.

Pulling back her thoughts, Weng Xiaoxiao continued, "Ask him to bring back some plants that we don't have here. As long as they're new and edible, I'll buy them at a high price."

No matter how high the price is, it is still more cost-effective than making a trip herself. The key is that she doesn't have time to search around.

What is the boss doing? Although Pei Jun felt strange, he did not ask. Rich people have different collection quirks. Finding some fresh crops is nothing. "Yes, I will tell him."

As long as they can make money, there is no business that a businessman is unwilling to take.

After finishing what needed to be said and almost finishing breakfast, Weng Xiaoxiao was sent to the money house by Ping An, and Pei Jun was free to move around.

......

Pei Jun was walking on the road, carefully thinking about the task assigned to him by his boss.

Pei Jun was extremely satisfied with this job. He was satisfied with his boss's trust and the freedom to do things. As long as he could get things done, his boss would not ask about the process.

Of course, the boss had already made three rules with him: if he used any means necessary to achieve his goals, or did something illegal, he would never be let off easily.

He doesn't want to waste his good days.

If you think carefully about what the boss meant today, you will understand that it is time for him to start a family and settle down.

Besides, the courtyard is full of young boys and girls. If he comes back drunk or covered in makeup all day long, it will really have a bad influence.

Then let's rent a small courtyard. Last time he bought the farm, the owner gave him ten taels of silver. The monthly expenses have also increased, so he can save a little. Add to that his original savings, and he might be able to buy a small courtyard in a year or two.

However, he lied about finding a wife. He didn't say he had any prospects, but that he had already hooked up with a young widow who was his childhood sweetheart.

Since both parties were willing, he asked a matchmaker to come to his house. He thought everything would go smoothly, but he didn't expect her in-laws to be too greedy and insisted on a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver before they agreed.

Pei Jun can afford this money.

But even if Pei Jun agreed to the bride price, they would not allow her to take the seven-year-old daughter away. The child was her life, and if she was not allowed to take the child away, she would not agree to remarry and was willing to suffer in that family.

Things came to a standstill.

Pei Jun was willing to pay this high betrothal gift because of their childhood friendship and because he couldn't bear to see her suffer. He liked her to some extent. Paying the betrothal gift was fine, and raising the child was also acceptable, but he was also asked to pay a large sum of money. Pei Jun was not happy about being blackmailed like this.

He was a little hesitant, so he didn't mention the marriage to his employer.

The boss said, "A good wife brings less trouble to her husband." This is absolutely true. If he works hard, he will have a good future. But he should be cautious about getting married.

......

"Chang Qing, do you think it's appropriate for us to report this way?"

Lin Changqing was complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He bowed respectfully and said, "Sir Huang, I am a humble person with little influence. I only know how to obey your orders and follow your instructions in everything."

Little rascal.

Huang Jing snorted coldly, but didn't want to show it too much.

The Marquis of Zhongxin's mansion is ordinary, but the young man's maternal family is extraordinary. The court is in need of talents, and the old marquis is already in the battlefield at this age. The emperor will take good care of the relatives and old friends of the Yang family.

If they report the truth, they are afraid that many people will be demoted and investigated. However, if they conceal it, they will also be held responsible for poor supervision if something happens in the future. Huang Jing was undecided for a moment, so he asked about Lin Changqing.

Since he started working, Lin Changqing has always kept in mind his father's way of survival in the officialdom. He always smiles but never stands out.
