Chapter 1091 Killing Pigs and Sheep
The money he has in his hands is increasing year by year, but having too much money also brings him worries, as he has nowhere to put it.
The floor of his house was almost like a sieve, with all kinds of things inside. If a thief came, he could become a rich man by just prying the bricks.
Zhou Guo said, "How can that be? I'll still give you the money. Let's put it this way. Besides, who would complain about having too much money? I'm so rich, I don't complain. Don't I still find ways to make money every year?"
Making money is addictive. Although she earns so much every year and can't save much, she is happy even if she spends it.
The money was given to the permanent and temporary workers and flowed to those who were extremely short of money. With this money, they could support their families and stop them from suffering from hunger and cold.
Whenever she saw these people with smiles on their faces, she felt a great sense of satisfaction in her heart.
If you keep the money in your own hands, it will become a dead thing. It should flow out to the people who need it, then it can play its original value.
The old man laughed, "Aren't you ashamed? Who says they are rich? Didn't you say before that your family is poor and can't compare with those people in the Wang family?"
Zhou Guo said, "I can't compare with the Wang family, but compared with ordinary people, I am still considered a very wealthy person. Not to mention the millions of dan of grain I earn every year, just the hundreds of thousands of taels of money I earn every year. Only a few wealthy families in the north can earn as much as I do."
The old man laughed at her, "You earn hundreds of thousands of taels every year, how much will you have left in the end?"
Zhou Guo: "...Although there is not much left, but I have fed people. So many mouths are counting on me for food. Isn't this more meaningful than how much money is left every year?"
The old man shook his head, not understanding. "I think you were born to work hard. You shoulder all the burdens you have. You don't know what those people have to do with you. In the end, you work yourself to death, all for outsiders."
Zhou Guo smiled but said nothing. People have to do something in their lifetime, right?
It is fun for others to make money, save money and build a career, but her fun comes from these people. For her, feeding these people and allowing more people to survive is fun and meaningful.
Although she seems a bit saintly.
In the end, she gave the money to the old man.
The old man declined several times, but finally accepted it, "Then I'll keep it. If you are short of money in the future, remember to come to me. I am rich now, maybe the richest person in the family."
Anyway, these will belong to the child after he dies, so just save them for her.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "That's fine. If I have no clothes to wear in the future, I will ask you to buy them for me."
The old man frowned immediately, "If you make a few clothes for girls, I will be happy to buy them for you. You already have so many men's clothes, aren't they enough?"
Zhou Guo said, "Who would complain about having too many clothes? You can see that I'm so busy every day, running around, and I basically change clothes every day. If I wash my clothes too much, they won't look good. I'm away from home all year round, and I basically have to meet people every day, big officials, small officials, big landlords, I can't wear too bad clothes, right?"
It is said that one should respect the clothes first and then the person, and she experienced this in her early years.
She would not be stingy with the money as long as she could give herself the best food and clothing within her means. She should not suffer any loss after supporting so many people.
The old man said, "You should have two sets of girls' clothes. Didn't you like wearing them in the early years? Why don't you wear them once all year round?"
Zhou Guo shook his head. "It's too troublesome. I have to comb my hair and put on jewelry. It's so jingling. It's inconvenient to walk. It's very cumbersome."
Men's clothing is much more convenient. Two jade pendants and a few sachets around the waist are all the accessories you need. You can walk, sit or lie down however you are comfortable. It is indeed much more refreshing.
……
Zhou Guo looked at the account books for a few days and then went around to various farms. By this time, the grain had been harvested and all that was left on the fields were stubble and piles of hay.
These fields will be deeply plowed again before winter.
All the village heads know this.
The granaries in the village were all full, so two more were built temporarily to fill up the granaries. Although they cannot be compared with the previous ones, they are good enough for temporary use.
After touring the farm, she still had to go to the shop.
By the time I had visited all these places, more than half a month had passed.
Mo Da came back with his brothers.
Zhou Guo was very happy that he came back just in time.
She asked, "How is the autumn harvest in the south?"
Mo Da wiped the sweat off his head and said, "I don't know about this. I was just busy delivering the grain."
Zhou Guo had no choice but to ask, "Did you see him, Baldy?"
Mo Dadao: "Yes, I met him. I brought back a lot of brothers from him this time. He said you need manpower here, so I brought back half of the manpower and vehicles."
Lai Zi Tou is heading south, and the food will be placed in various places along the way. The baggage will become less and less, and there will be more manpower.
She said, "Then take a good rest for a few days. I'm afraid you will have to go south again. Most of the grain produced in Nanhe this year will be transported to the south. You will have to work hard."
Mo Da was shocked. "It's not hard. This is what we do in the escort agency. The monthly salary is so high. If you still find it hard work, then you'd better not work at all."
Farming and relying on the weather for food, when the taxes you pay throughout the year are still not enough to feed your family, that’s hard work.
This time, Mo Da brought back more than two thousand people. Zhou Guo asked them to slaughter pigs and sheep in the evening to reward everyone.
The village was as lively as a market.
By the evening, when it was not yet completely dark, pork, wine and food were all served. Everyone sat in several long rows, their eyes shining with excitement.
Zhou Guo sat at the top, holding a bowl of wine and stood up, saying loudly: "Brothers, you have all worked hard these days. Eat and drink well tonight, and take a good rest these days. Only if you rest well, our escort agency will have a better future! Come, I'll toast you all!"
"Cheers to the Boss!" Everyone raised their bowls and shouted in unison.
The sound echoed everywhere.
Everyone drank the wine in one gulp.
Zhou Guo wiped the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Everyone eat meat!"
"Eat!" Cheers were heard, and everyone started to grab meat and eat vegetables. No one had time to look at her again.
It was a very difficult road to travel on, as we made two trips there and back.
When it rains heavily, the road becomes muddy, with some wheels deep and some shallow. The wheels become stuck in the mud and cannot be pushed forward.
Or you may not be able to find water for a long time and be dying of thirst.
Sleeping in the open air is no easier than fighting in a war.
I haven’t had such a satisfying meal for several months, so how can I care about anything else?
Zhou Guo sat down and gnawed on the roasted lamb bones that the old man had prepared. He nodded as he ate, "Master, how come you roasted this lamb chop so deliciously?"
