After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

However, a month later, the products of Mu's grocery store captured the hearts of almost all the villagers due to their high quality and affordable price. And because Tong Guixiang's grocery store lost its reputation, he was the only one left with the largest business in the large exile village.

Unlike Tong Guixiang's monopolistic high-price sales, Mu Zhengyuan deliberately marked the price of every item in the grocery store, and never changed the price without special circumstances, nor did he deliberately increase the price or adulterate the goods just because one company was the dominant one. Miscellaneous fakes or low-quality goods, over time, his business has become more and more prosperous, and even other nearby villages will occasionally come here to buy things.

However, in just one month, the grocery store managed by Mu Zhengyuan easily earned back the principal invested in opening the store.

On the night after he had earned enough principal, at the square table after dinner, in front of everyone, Mu Zhengyuan magnanimously handed back all the principal he earned to Ruan He and solemnly thanked him.

"Thank you, Mrs. Tai, Xiaohe, and everyone for your trust. I have earned back all the principal, and now it will be returned to the public office. In the future, [-]% of the money earned from the grocery store will be handed over to my family in accordance with the rules."

Ruan He had also heard rumors about Tong Guixiang's grocery store maliciously lowering prices and selling inferior goods. Naturally, he was especially impressed by Mu Zhengyuan's countermeasures. He accepted the heavy money bag and praised it. He said: "Uncle Third, I was right about you, you are so good at doing business!"

Ask yourself, if you leave this business to her, you may not be able to earn back your principal within a month.

"I heard..." Mu Yunchao blinked and said jokingly: "Boss Tong's grocery store has even the plaque removed, so it can't do business at all! Nowadays, near the exile village, there are Our grocery store is the only one in the family."

Mu Yunchao's temper is getting more and more noisy now. On weekdays, when he has nothing to do, he spends time chatting with Mrs. Mu and the old people in the village. He has a sweet mouth and is very popular with the old people when he talks. He is very fond of all the people in the exiled village. This kind of thing is also well understood.

Mrs. Mutai also smiled happily and kindly, spread her hands, and couldn't help but said bluntly: "It's not surprising that one family is the only one. It was the same situation before. Zhengyuan, you have to do a good job in business and do things with conscience. Never imitate Tong Guixiang."

Domination by one family is only temporary. It is not difficult to start this grocery store business. What is difficult is to maintain it smoothly. If you are not careful, you may end up like Tong Guixiang.

They can easily open a grocery store in the village with their capital, which shows that other families can do the same. As long as they keep running the business well, their lives will definitely be prosperous.

"By the way, Madam, I've been thinking about something these days..." Mu Zhengyuan lowered his head and drank all the bowl of soup in front of him, then raised his head thoughtfully, with a somewhat expression on his face. He said seriously: "I think my two children are not young anymore and should be sent to school. It is best to let Yuanyuan go with them. She is about the same age. But in this exile village There is no such place as a private school. If we send them to the county town, it is really inconvenient to go back and forth. Moreover, the children are still young and have no one to take care of them, so I feel uneasy... If we find a teacher to come and teach at home, it is still possible. It's okay, but there's no suitable teacher in this village."

If there had not been this incident in the Hou Mansion, the younger generation in their family could have hired teachers since they were young to teach the children to read and write. This is a tradition passed down from their ancestors.The descendants of future generations may be powerless and impoverished, but they cannot be without virtue.

But after Mu Zhengyuan spent several days exploring the village, he found that in such a large exile village, there was not even a decent teacher. There were very few villagers who knew a few words and could read official documents. Not to mention the teacher, this made Mu Zhengyuan particularly worried. After all, the two children were already quite old, so naturally they couldn't delay their studies, lest they delay the best age for studying.As exiled prisoners, their identities were still clear. Fortunately, the imperial court did not prohibit the descendants of exiled prisoners from studying. Therefore, what worried Mu Zhengyuan the most now was where to find teachers.

Mrs. Mutai thought for a moment, smiled, and said: "Why don't you let me teach the children to read and read during this period of time? Later, when they are a little older, we will go to the county to find a suitable teacher." .”

Mrs. Mutai came from a noble family and hired a teacher to teach at home since she was a child. Even if she was not well-read, teaching a few children how to read and write was no problem.

Besides, she had nothing to do at home on weekdays, so using her spare time to teach several children how to read and write would pass the time without delaying the children's learning.

"Grandma is right...let me think about it..." Ruan He nodded silently, agreed with their ideas with a chuckle, considered it for a moment, and said: "There are no teaching tools at home, and I guess there are no teaching tools in the village. If we can’t buy it, we might as well make it ourselves.”

Mu Zhengyuan happily agreed. He didn't expect that in just a few words, he would successfully resolve the matter that he had been worrying about for several days. He immediately responded happily: "Okay, then I'll leave it to Xiaohe."

After dinner, Ruan He started to get busy, thinking about how to prepare teaching tools. The blackboard must be the most important object. This is not difficult to solve. He just needs to leave it to Uncle Huangfu to grind out a square. A large square wooden board, painted with black paint, becomes a serious blackboard.

If you want to write on such a blackboard, you need to be able to engrave marks and have stones of different colors. This is not a problem for Ruan He. He only needs to pick a batch of stones of suitable size from the mountains and then specially paint them. Can.

There are many strange plants and trees in this mountain forest, and it is especially easy to find some natural dyes that can be used for coloring.

Ruan He sat on the rocking chair next to the courtyard, rocking gently from time to time. He looked ahead intently, carefully considering all the preparations.

Because she was holding her chin and thinking carefully with half-squinted eyes, she was so serious that Mu Yunxiao, who was walking slowly by the side, couldn't help but stop and quietly looked at her lost look, her dark eyes. There was a little smile brewing in his heart, and he stood there and stared for a long time.

Ruan He was thinking about it, and when she was about to stand up, a heavy force suddenly came from her shoulders, and then a warm cloak suddenly covered her body. (End of chapter)
