First of all, since he was successful in killing the enemy this time, the government gave Wubao a lot of rewards, and Gongsun Yan generously divided them among them.
Secondly, after listening to Xu Da's analysis of the current world situation, Gongsun Zan decided to hire him as his personal consultant, so Xu Da will report to the government office in the future.
Of course, this analysis of the situation in the world is the result of a family of five. It just puts Xu Da on the head and conforms to the mainstream of the times when men make contributions.
The trouble is that Gongsun Zan will not stay in the county for a long time, so Xu Da will be separated from his family for a period of time.
The family of five has never been separated. Thinking of Xu Da leaving home this time, reluctance spread in the small courtyard, and everyone felt a little sad.
But this sadness was soon diluted by the next piece of good news.
Gongsun Zan was born into a noble family, but due to his mother's humble status, he only worked as a minor official at first. Later, he was appreciated by the governor of Zhuo County and became the governor's son-in-law. With his military talents, he gradually reached his current position.
He started working hard from the bottom and climbed to a high position by relying on his own strength.
Perhaps because he was discriminated against by the nobles when he was young, he saw the corruption and extravagance of the powerful nobles, and developed a character of hatred and hatred. He did not have a good look towards these wealthy officials who rose to power through nepotism.
As a result, there are no real talents available.
Because in this era, knowledge is completely monopolized by aristocratic families, and the counselors and generals working for powerful people from all over the world are all selected from aristocratic families.
The current chaotic battles are not so much fought by warlords from various places as they are played behind the scenes by these aristocratic families.
Therefore, the background of the Xu family is simply not to Gongsun Zan’s liking.
With a wave of his hand, he gave away eighty horses of the Wang family, as well as the eighty-two prisoners of war from the Yuan family's army in Jizhou.
Xu Yue has bought horses and knows the price of a war horse, ranging from 20,000 to 50,000, and a good one from 100,000 to 200,000.
Even at the lowest value, eighty war horses are worth millions of dollars.
Therefore, at first glance, the reward of only eighty horses is not much, but after careful calculation, it is actually a huge sum of money!
Wang said that although this young man with a white horse has a surly and extreme personality, he has a pretty good mind.
If there is another think tank around him who can control him, it will indeed be a high-performance stock worth investing in.
And now, with Xu Da following this man, a real hero might emerge in this northern land.
Anyway, people nowadays are superstitious. In Wang's view, Xu Dabie is not good at it, but no one can match him in pretending to be mysterious!
Gongsun Zan was very efficient in his work. He agreed to deliver the horse and had it delivered the next day.
Wang checked them out and found that they were all good horses, but they were a bit expensive.
Three days will come in a blink of an eye.
Even though a good horse diluted the sadness of parting, the family still reluctantly hugged each other in front of the Wubao gate for a long time before they separated.
Looking at his daughters who were full of reluctance and red eyes, Xu Da felt helpless.
"Don't make me feel like I'm going to the execution ground. Last night I watched the stars and made a fortune. I'll be back in two months at most." Xu Da said helplessly, holding his forehead.
Two months is enough for Gongsun Zan to fight Yuan's army back to his hometown, and perhaps there will be unexpected gains.
This trip went smoothly, I really don't have to worry about him too much.
However, facts have proven that it is not advisable to take one's status in the family too seriously.
I just heard Mrs. Wang say calmly: "You should leave quickly. Out of sight and out of mind, there won't be so much sorrow about separation."
Xu Da: "..."
Fortunately, his children still care about him.
"Dad, remember to write to us!" Xu Yue warned.
Xu Erniang also said: "It's getting cold, so I've packed my sweaters and pants in a box. Remember to add more clothes when the time comes and take care of yourself."
Xu Da was so moved that he nodded and said that he would do it, which warmed his wife's hurt heart again.
He looked at Xu Dalang who said nothing, with a fatherly look on his face, expecting instructions from his son.
Xu Dalang looked bored: "Get out!"
Xu Da took a breath and immediately put down the windshield curtain in the car, "Goodbye!"
Old Wutou smiled coquettishly at Wang, mother and son, flicked off his whip, and the carriage rolled forward.
He Zeng solemnly gave his idol Wang a fist, and followed the carriage as a guard.
The mother and son stood at the gate of Uburg for a long time and stared at the carriage until there was no trace of the carriage, and then they all sighed.
"Oh~" I feel a little uncomfortable.
However, the reality soon made them no longer willing to feel the discomfort.
Mrs. Wang led the eighty captives who were in a daze of hunger to the back mountain for ideological education.
Xu Dalang returned to the tofu shop and continued to make his tofu.
It’s just that the tofu shop without He Zeng and Lao Wutou doesn’t seem that interesting anymore.
Xu Yue renamed the nine slaves in the family, from Ada to Ajiu.
The first three stayed to work in the tofu shop, and the middle three were allocated to Wang Youliang to build chicken sheds for breeding.
The last three were lent to Wang Dayou to get a high-temperature furnace.
Seeing her sister also entering the room and continuing to study her messy potions, Xu Yue, who felt the pressure on her family to pay more, called Xiao Junmei over.
Let her calculate whether the tofu factory's current output can feed the family's growing population.
After calculating for an afternoon, Xiao Junmei shook her head regretfully: "It's not enough, it's far from enough."
"Only relying on the government reward from the second room, I can survive for two months at most."
She handed the calculated account to Xu Yue, "We need to build a new dormitory and a stable at home. After excluding the original expenses at home, we need at least five tofu shops like this to support the eighty-year-old wife."
.”
Part?
Xu Yue thought this word was a bit catchy, but she didn't expect that she would now have her own song.
However, this piece of music is really not something that ordinary people can master!
Looking at the account book handed over by Jun Mei, Xu Yue took a deep breath and whispered: "It's time to develop some different high-end products."
It couldn't be done before because conditions didn't allow it.
But now that my father is considered a general and a new celebrity, with this kind of relationship, he can start doing things like glass and porcelain.
But, where should I choose the address of the workshop?
While Xu Yue was writing down her next plan, she looked up at the spacious Uburg outside with its own natural defenses, and was filled with envy.
Now she just wants a Uburg of her own.
During dinner in the evening, Xu Yue expressed her wish.
Mrs. Wang has already considered this issue. There were not so many people in the past, but now this place is quite nice to live in.
But now that there are more people, she has to train soldiers and horses, and the space is obviously not enough.
Moreover, she also plans to arm her first elite force. These details cannot be put in front of others to be seen casually.
Immediately, Mrs. Wang stood up and said: "Tomorrow I will go to Gongsun Yan to ask for a piece of land. I will make do with it for a while. When you and Wang Dayou finish the things, we will make preparations for moving."
