Chapter 760: Chapter 760 Suggestion

“That’s exactly what I want. It’s also beneficial for us to build a good relations.h.i.+p with them.” Gu Chengye replied.
Gu Chengzhi would not refuse after hearing this. After all, getting to know more influential people would definitely be helpful to their business in the future.
Next, Gu Chengrui mentioned his plans for the harvest of chili and sweet potatoes after autumn to everyone so that they could plant more appropriately.
Gu Chengrui accompanied Gu Chengsi to the county town’s dental clinic, buying two nannies and two servants who knew martial arts.
On the way back, Gu Chengsi asked, “Brother Chengrui, is vermicelli selling well? Can you open a shop in Pingyang Province? That way, the people there can generate some income.”
“You want everyone to plant more sweet potatoes?”
“That’s right. It’s all plains over there, and there’s no pier for docks. We can only rely on a variety of crops to make a living.”
“We can open a shop, but as you said, there’s not even a decent dock there. It’s probably inconvenient to transport the goods.
“Therefore, the quant.i.ty we get would be not much.
“However, there were benefits to being on the plains. The land on the plains is generally more fertile and more accessible for harvest.
“In my opinion, why don’t you think of a way to harvest seeds? This way, the overall income of the people there will increase by a large margin.”
“Seeds?”
“Yes, the seeds of any crop will degenerate after a long time. However, with good land and proper management, as long as we pick plump seeds every time, we can slow down the degeneration of the seeds.
“Then, you can sell the seeds to other places. It’s much more cost-effective than selling the grain alone.
“Also, you can plant chili and cotton. I can accept these.
As for potatoes, let’s wait a little longer. I’ll look for you when we expand there.”
Gu Chengsi nodded thoughtfully.
After returning home, Mrs. Bai led the servants she had bought to Gu Ziyi’s house.
Gu Chengrui took advantage of the fact that no one was around, and they parted ways to give Gu Chengsi 5,000 taels of silver. “Take this. When you take office, you’ll have to make arrangements for everyone. You’ll have to set up a livelihood. It’ll definitely come in handy.”
“I, I don’t want it. This is too much. I…”
“Take it. Just treat it as a loan. Just return it to me in the future.
“But don’t be greedy. Yang Zhicheng is an example. He didn’t have a good ending.”
“Don’t worry, I have my morality. My little brother will be my reminder.”
“Okay, I’ll go back then.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he turned around and walked home.
Gu Chengsi looked at the silver notes in his hand and felt they weighed a thousand pounds. At the same time, he silently remembered this favor in his heart.
After returning home, Gu Chengsi told the patriarch about this matter alone.
The patriarch was stunned for a moment. “Keep it. Just like he said, when you get there and buy some property, it will at least be enough for your expenses.”
“It also saves you from worrying about your livelihood.
“Also, I must remind you again that you are not allowed to be greedy.”
After all, a monthly salary of ten taels of silver is not enough to do anything. Whether for social gatherings or peace of mind as an official, they could not do without silver.
However, there are only 200 taels of silver left at their home. Even if he gave them all to Gu Chengsi, he could only buy a few sets of clothes to support his appearance.
“I know, father. I won’t.” Gu Chengsi nodded solemnly.
Over the next few days, Gu Chengrui either went to the manor to help or followed Sun Hongliang to the workshop.
Five days later, after he was almost done with his family matters, Gu Chengrui treated the people in the manor to a meal at noon and gathered together.
The next night, they gathered at Gra.s.sland Taste Restaurant and invited Manager Liu to have a good meal together..
