Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 132 made a fortune

Every morning Yuxian would catch toads, so that the backyard of Tong's house was full of shelves with toads hanging on them.Of course, catching toads was just an activity in the morning. After breakfast, Yuxian and the others would still go into the mountain.At this time, I have to hurry up and get things at home.Almost all the children in the village go into the mountains, even some adults.Every day I see people carrying baskets full of them, and their faces are tired but satisfied.At this time, the leaves have begun to fall, and the autumn wind blows, and pieces of fallen leaves are flying with the wind.

The forests around Yanjiang Village are mostly broad-leaved trees, including many oak trees.Oak trees bear a fruit called an acorn.Yuxian doesn't understand why the fruit on the oak tree is called acorn. There is a kind of wood in the south called oak. I don't know what the relationship between the oak tree and the oak tree is.However, the leaves of the two are very similar, and the fruits are also called acorns, and they look similar, so they may still be related.Yuxian didn't study plants, and she didn't want to figure it out.She only knows that acorns are a good thing, they can be fed to pigs and chickens, and people eat them in times of famine.So when they couldn't find anything else, they started picking up acorns again.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a busy way.On August 5000th, Fang Yun came back to Tong's house, and gave Yuxian the money from selling ginseng in the capital this time.The two largest trees, one sold for 4000 taels, and the other sold for 200 taels, were bought by a prince, who said they wanted to pay tribute to the current emperor.This kind of treasure is only suitable for the royal family. Fortunately, Fang Yun also has a background in Beijing, otherwise, no one would have snatched it away.The remaining eleven trees were bought by some pharmacies and dignitaries.Of course, the pharmacy bought it as the treasure of the store, and those high-ranking officials, who are not greedy for life and afraid of death, have this thing, which can save lives in critical times.Therefore, the selling price was not low, with an average of around 2000 taels. A total of thirteen ginseng plants were sold for 1 taels of silver.Because of the huge amount, Fang Yun replaced them with gold and silver notes, 200 taels of silver notes, and the rest were gold.There are 50 taels of gold, 24 taels of ingot, a total of [-] ingots, and a box.When Fang Yun came back, he was escorted by someone, so he came back safe and sound.

The Tong family was frightened by the money, even Yuxian was no exception, oh my god, the money came too easily. More than 2 taels, how do you spend it?There are more than 50 ginseng trees at home. Even if they are smaller and cannot be sold for that high, they still have to be sold for another 2 taels.Dizzy, Yuxian was knocked out by so much money.She smiled foolishly, "Master, is this true? Just pinch me, I'm afraid I'm dreaming. God, I never thought that I could have so much money." Yu Xian He bit his own hand. "Oh, it hurts, master, it's real, I'm not dreaming. Great, great, we finally have money." Yu Xian hugged Fang Yun's arm, jumping and jumping.

"Look at your stupidity, these are nothing, you will earn more money in the future. At that time, you will have to pass out." Yuan Qingyun curled his lips and said.

"Uncle Yuan, tell me, is this true? It's too easy, I dare not close my eyes, for fear that if I close my eyes, the money will be gone." Yu Xian ran to Yuan Qingyun's side again, hugging Yuan Qingyun's arm shook for a while.

"Okay, if you shake it again, my old bones will let you shake off. It's true, you will have much more money than this in the future." Yuan Qingyun also smiled.

The whole family was a little bit overwhelmed, but seeing Yuxian jumping and jumping there, they all laughed. "Okay, why don't you go crazy here, I'll get the vegetables, and you guys will have a good drink later." Fang went out.

"Little girl, don't jump there anymore, it's all yours, think about how to spend it quickly." Haoyu grabbed Yuxian and stopped her from jumping down.

"By the way, think about how to spend it, buy mountains, buy mountains. Dad, you have to tell the village chief that we have to buy all that mountain. With this money, we can buy that large mountain , anyway, our family doesn’t have to pay taxes.” The first thing Yuxian thought of was the forest with ginseng, who dares to say that there will be no more there?Besides, there are hundreds of trees in that place.

"Success, I'll tell the village chief about this in a while." Yun Song also understood that this mountain must be bought, and it will be the root of the Tong family from then on.

"Brother-in-law, just now Yuxian said that your family doesn't have to pay taxes, what's going on?" Fang Yun didn't understand.

Yun Song told Fang Yun what happened a month ago, and Fang Yun was also happy for them, "Brother-in-law, these good things really happened one after another. Brother-in-law is going to get rich this time. With this It will be convenient for you to do things in the future. Otherwise, if you want to buy such a large mountain, I am afraid that people will be jealous. Even the people in the county will make things difficult for you. This is all right, all at once It's all settled."

"By the way, brother Yun, we can't keep all the money, we must share it with you this time. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to sell those ginsengs at all. I'm afraid people will be worried about it, and it may cause a catastrophe." You take this 1 taels of silver note." Yun Song stuffed the silver note into Fang Yun's hand.

"Brother-in-law, my family, why are you so heretic like me? Yuxian is my apprentice, and your husband and wife are my sister and brother-in-law. I am doing things for my family, so how can I ask for your money? Besides, Yuxian has already You gave me a ginseng tree, and that tree is worth a lot of money, I really can't ask for any more money." Fang Yun resolutely refused to accept it.

"Master, this is what you deserve. In this way, if you feel that 1 taels is too much, I will give you 5000 taels. If you don't want it, then I will throw it out, and whoever loves it will pick it up." Yu Xian Also advise.

"Okay, it's up to you. I just want to expand Tongrentang, and I can't afford it. I'll take your 5000 taels, and I'll return it to you when I have enough money." Fang Yun agreed to borrow it first.

"It's done, Master, just take it." Yuxian felt relieved now.Master helped her sell those ginsengs, and I'm afraid he was trying his best to negotiate with those dignitaries. The money should have been distributed to him.

Da Lang helped to take out ten ingots of gold, wrapped them in a bundle, and handed them to Fang Yun. "Uncle, take it for emergency first."

Fang Yun took the burden and didn't say anything more, just put it aside.Yuxian led Fang Yun to the backyard to look at the toads she made, "Master, look, after these are dried, the toad oil can be peeled out."

"Are you talking about snow clams? Yuxian, how did you catch so many? This thing is very valuable. Someone has caught it before, but it only catches a hundred or eighty in one autumn. I haven't seen anything like you before." , I’m afraid there are no less than ten thousand in this yard, right?” Fang Yun was very surprised that snow clams are rare tonics, which have been recorded a long time ago.But it's not easy to catch them, so the price is very expensive. I didn't expect to see so many here in Yuxian.

"Hee hee hee, master, I have my own plan. Is this thing worth much? How much will it sell for a catty?" Yu Xian asked curiously.In the previous life, good snow clam oil could be sold for three to four thousand kilograms. At that time, it was all farmed. I don’t know how much it can sell here.

"One catty? Hahaha, Yuxian, you are so funny. Do you think anyone can catch a yard full of toads like you? It would be good if they caught a hundred and eighty toads in one autumn. Half a catty is good. This thing is sold in terms of taels, and one tael can be sold for at least seven or eight taels of silver. Some people sell snow clams in autumn, which is enough for their family's life for a year. Snow clams nourish kidneys and nourish essence , Nourishing yin and nourishing the lungs, used for weakness, post-illness disorders, mental fatigue, lack of energy due to kidney deficiency, palpitations, insomnia, night sweats, consumptive cough and hemoptysis. It is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, and it can also prolong life and delay aging , It also has a good effect on people who are sick and weak all the year round. This thing used to be a tribute, specially for the emperor and concubines in the harem, and ordinary people couldn't buy it if they wanted to. Do you think it is cheap?" Fang Yun told Yuxian about the value of snow clams.

In fact, Yu Xian understands what Fang Yun said.I just forgot that no one would catch toads like her, so my estimation was wrong. "Master, don't I get rich?" Yuxian looked at the toads all over the yard, her eyes were full of shadows of silver.

"Little money-grubber, did you get rich? Well, no matter what method you use to catch so many toads, you must not spread it to the outside world, or you will be caught by others in the future. It is not a good thing to fish in a dry marsh. "Fang Yun warned Yuxian.

"Master, don't worry, I will figure out a way. Let's raise toads in the future, so that we won't be afraid of being caught in the wild." This is also what Yuxian is thinking about recently. She tried her best to get her father to buy the mountain for this reason. The things in this mountain will be dug up sooner or later. Why don't they try it before everyone realizes that many things can be cultivated. When others realize it, her family will already be earning a lot of money.

"If you have a way to grow toads, that would be a great thing. Not only toads, but also many medicinal materials can be planted. There are already some medicinal farmers in the south. Our Tong Ren Tang will also go to the south to purchase some medicinal materials. Yes, the quantity purchased this time will be larger." Fang Yun naturally hoped that the more medicinal materials the better.

"Well, Yuxian remembered what Master said. By the way, Master, the south is the place of Fengyun Dynasty. Can we go there?" Yuxian asked curiously.

"Actually, the imperial court does not prohibit non-governmental trade. After all, the north and south regions are different, and the production is also different. If there is no mutual market trade, there may be too much shortage of people's livelihood. Generally, weapons are not allowed to be traded. When you get older, Master will take you to the south. The landscape in the south is different from our north." Fang Yun touched Yuxian's little head and explained to her.
