That day Yunjing came back from grazing cattle in the afternoon. Since there were no entertainment activities in the countryside, he had dinner and went to bed early.
He didn't sleep even while lying in bed, but began to think seriously about how to study.
It is unrealistic to rely on family support. How much money can you make from farming?
He has never thought of making money from maltose. The risk is too great. Studying is a long-term issue, not a one-time deal. If his family sells maltose from time to time, it will definitely attract covetousness from all parties, which will cause the family to bear the burden.
Unbearable consequences.
Maltose is so profitable that no one with even the slightest ambition will let go of this piece of fat.
So the question is, how can I make money to study?
Moreover, it is a long-term stable financial source. It is best to have a steady stream of financial resources until you grow up and not too much at one time. If there are too many, the family cannot keep it.
"This involves personal connections. Having a long-term partner can solve this problem, and this partner also needs to have a certain amount of energy to keep the business and maintain a foothold. But where can this family find such a partner?
Connections? Why should someone with that kind of energy cooperate with me? Let’s not talk about business and making money. How can we guarantee that after the money is earned, they will calmly distribute it to me and not bite back and swallow all the bones?”
Thinking of all these things, Yun Jing felt his head hurt.
The restrictions of status are too great, and you are constrained in doing anything, but you must find ways to overcome these problems, unless you can work as a farmer with peace of mind for the rest of your life.
Yunjing couldn't help feeling that it was too difficult for someone with muddy legs to stand up in such a social environment.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind. He wanted a long-term and stable financial source to support his studies. Currently, he could only think of three alternative partners.
Li Qiu, Wang Shi, Zhang Changgui.
These three people represent the three identities in current society.
Li Qiu is a scholar, and he is definitely the kind who has a reputation. He can be regarded as a person within the system, and he can speak well in official circles.
Wang Shi is a policeman, but he is a martial arts practitioner, half a martial arts man and half a public servant. He is absolutely knowledgeable in the gray area and can handle some difficult things.
Zhang Changgui is from the civilian class and represents the working people.
They are three people from different walks of life. The way they want to cooperate with them is definitely different, and the projects they collaborate on are also very different.
The first is Li Qiu. His family is not short of money, and he has official connections, so it is impossible for him to make small fuss. He is suitable for big business. Why should someone take you to play in a small business? Although he is courteous to others, he is definitely not a bad person.
There is nothing to say about how this kind of person treats people, but when it comes to interests, he is absolutely as shrewd as an old fox. How to cooperate with him normally is a huge challenge. It is not Yunjing's malicious slander. Let's not talk about how to cooperate with Li Qiu. How to ensure that he
If you don't bite back and eat it, it will be a headache.
Cooperating with Li Qiu has great benefits but also the greatest risks. Once this scholar does something bad, ten martial arts practitioners will not be able to compare with him.
The second is Wang Baotou Wang Shi. This kind of person is much easier to deal with. As a martial arts practitioner, he will never be satisfied with his current achievements. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely want to go one step further. He only needs to use a large amount of wealth as a reward.
It's not difficult to get rid of him by using a stepping stone. To put it bluntly, it's a bundle of interests. Of course, when facing this kind of person, you have to be on guard against him stabbing you in the back.
Co-authored with Wang Shi, the business he engages in has to be more restrained. It is difficult to maintain a delicate balance that he can control, which does not make him jealous and monopolizes it, but also requires him to be reluctant to give up.
But relatively speaking, it is easier to operate than facing Li Qiu, just relatively speaking.
In fact, Yunjing is more willing to cooperate with people like Wang Shi. After all, it is much more troublesome to cooperate with smart people.
However, there is a question involved here, that is, Yunjing's purpose of making money is to study. Wouldn't it be bad to cooperate too much with people in the Jianghu? Even if Wang Shi and Gongmen are people, they have to consider the subsequent consequences.
Finally, there is Zhang Changgui. It is undoubtedly the safest to cooperate with him. After all, we have a good foundation for cooperation, and his status is not much higher than his own, and the risks and consequences he bears are much smaller.
But the problem is that cooperation with such a person is too restrictive. First of all, he has no chance of big business. Neither he nor his family can afford the risk. However, small business, making a little money, can really support his studies.
Cost?
Thinking over and over again, Yun Jing felt his teeth aching.
too difficult.
One thing Yunjing is very clear about, no matter who he cooperates with, he is first prepared to suffer losses.
His purpose is to make money to support his studies, rather than focusing on making money. In order to achieve the purpose of studying, he has no objection at all to suffering a loss, and if he does not suffer a loss, why should others cooperate with you? You can herd cattle.
Or will you farm?
Before there is no cost or ability, you can only get what you want by giving up your interests.
As for when he grows up in the future and reaches a certain height, Yunjing believes that he will not have to say anything about the losses he has suffered. The people who took advantage of him will find ways to pay them back, otherwise they will not feel at ease!
this is the truth.
However, can he successfully grow to that point through studying? To be honest, Yunjing is not completely sure, and who can say clearly about the future.
But I have a photographic memory, and with my hard work in the later period, I think it shouldn't be too bad.
In short, as long as he can achieve his goal of reading and literacy, even if he does not reach the peak of reading in the future, his efforts will be worth it!
After thinking all this through, Yunjing began to think about which industries would be suitable for cooperation with Li Qiu, Wang Shi, and Zhang Changgui based on their situations...
After pondering for a while, Yunjing roughly had an idea, and the next step was to find a way to slowly implement it.
At the end, Yunjing frowned slightly.
He realized that he might have overlooked a problem. Reading, maybe it could be solved by more than just having money!
Think about it, if you can read and write with money, then ordinary farmers, who tighten their belts, grit their teeth and stomp their feet, can’t study for a few days after saving money for several years? How can they not be able to read a single big character?
If you want to go deeper, why are the people in the world so peaceful? It's not because they can't read a basket of Chinese characters. They don't think about anything else except farming peacefully. It's enough to have a full stomach.
Reading and literacy are the exclusive preserve of the powerful class. You want to read and write even though you are weak, do you want to ask for rights next?
If the people are not stupid but are smart, how should the officials control them?
Thinking of this, cold sweat breaks out on Yunjing's forehead. If this is the case, it will be even more difficult for him to study. Reading and literacy were something that was easily accessible in his previous life, but here it is even more difficult, because knowledge is such a thing.
It is in the hands of a few people, and this circle of people has isolated their identity as farmers from the outside, and they are not even qualified to join!
“Let’s find a way to understand the situation first, and then we’ll talk after we understand it in detail.”
Yunjing made up his mind to just find a way to solve the problem. Nothing is absolute...
When Yunjing was alone and thinking about his future, he was outside in the yard.
The weather is very good today, with a bright moon in the sky. Yunlin Yunshan and Jiang Susu are enjoying the cool air in the yard.
Xiao Yundong fell asleep soundly in Jiang Susu's arms, thinking about something in her mind. Jiang Susu was so distracted that she didn't even notice a big mosquito bite on Xiao Yundong's face.
Yun Shan was chopping firewood with a heavy sweat, and Yun Lin was weaving baskets with deft hands and feet.
Jiang Susu's expression was sometimes tangled and sometimes hesitant. In the end, she couldn't help but broke the silence anxiously and said: "Dad, the child's father, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter? Just tell me." Hearing this, Yunshan stopped swinging his ax and looked at Jiang Susu strangely. This was not like her usual self.
Yunlin over there also looked over curiously.
Facing their gazes, Jiang Susu mustered up the courage to say: "Dad, the child's father, when you were not at home today, Xiao Jing and I were chatting. He said he wanted to study, so I will discuss this matter with you. Let's see.
Can it be done?”
"Reading? Xiaojing said he wants to study?"
Yunshan was suddenly startled, with a dull look on his face. The ax in his hand dropped to the ground and almost hit his toe. You can imagine how much impact the words "reading" had on him.
Hearing this, Yun Lin over there subconsciously stopped weaving baskets with a look of astonishment on his face.
Jiang Susu nodded nervously and said, "Yes, Xiaojing said he wants to study. Do you think this is possible?"
To be honest, Jiang Susu also felt that it was unreliable. She just wanted to hear her family's opinions. After all, studying was too unrealistic.
"This..." Yunshan scratched his head and pulled back his hair. He didn't know how to face this problem for a moment.
Over there, Yun Lin put down the half-woven basket, thought for a while, looked at Jiang Susu seriously and asked, "Xiao Jing really said that?"
"Yeah", Jiang Susu nodded.
Then Yun Lin opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He subconsciously took out his dry cigarette and took a few puffs and said, "I'll think about this matter."
After speaking, he fell into a long silence.
With a deep frown on his face, he lowered his head slightly. He looked so small in the moonlight, like a heavy mountain on his shoulders, giving people a heavy feeling that was so oppressive that he could not breathe...
