Chapter 390 It turns out that the one being kept is me
In today's world, people simply cannot choose whether they want to be a human being or a dog.
Soon, Chu Xianping, who was shocked and speechless by these words, left.
Wei Changtian stood alone at the door for a while.
Tsk tsk tsk!
I never thought that one day I would have such a realization!
Could it be that because of different identities, the level of thinking about the problem is also different?
After all, in my previous life, I was 996 every day, so I had no time to think about this kind of social problem...
Wait a moment, thinking about it this way, it seems that there is no difference in the previous life.
Although many "life mentors" claim that "you make your own decisions about your own life," Wei Changtian really doesn't understand how people like him who have worked hard for decades but can't even afford a house can "choose their own."
life".
well.
Perhaps no matter which parallel world we are in, the historical process of mankind will be the same after all.
We also don’t know when the ultimate social form that countless pioneers have fought for in previous lives will be realized.
"..."
He collected his thoughts that had wandered to nowhere, shook his head, turned around and stepped across the threshold.
In his previous life, he was a "dog" who was oppressed by the world, and now he is a "person" who has the ability to change this world. After thinking about it for a long time, Wei Changtian suddenly realized that his motives did not seem to be that complicated.
Maybe it’s just that I don’t like this kind of worldly behavior.
...
...
Although it was late in the afternoon, there were still two rooms in the courtyard lit by candlelight.
Now Yang Liushi has moved to live with Qingxian, and Liang Qin has already returned to the General Military Mansion to reunite with his family.
So if he didn't sleep most of the night, the only ones waiting for him would be Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao.
After hesitating for a moment, he stopped in front of the latter's door.
Wei Changtian gently knocked on the door twice, and almost at the same time there was a response from the door.
"who is it?"
"Ahem, it's me."
"You, come in..."
"good."
In a voice that sounded a little joyful, Wei Changtian pushed the door open, looked at the figure sitting by the bed and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Here, waiting for you..."
Lu Jingyao answered truthfully, and at the same time, her body moved, as if she wanted to get up and greet him this way.
But before her butt left the bed, Wei Changtian's words had already floated over to her.
"Oh, now that I'm back, you can sleep."
"I am leaving."
"Squeak~"
From the time he entered to the time he left, Wei Changtian stood in the room for less than ten breaths.
Lu Jingyao stared at the closed door with wide eyes. After being stunned for a long time, she suddenly grabbed the embroidered pillow beside her and raised her small fist to hit it, as if she wanted to use the pillow to vent her anger.
But just when the punch was about to land on the pillow, she suddenly stopped the force, and finally it turned into a gentle slap.
"Snapped!"
"asshole!"
Biting her lip, Lu Jingyao slapped the pillow again and again.
"Hate!"
"annoying!"
"..."
...
"I'm back!"
Just when Lu Jingyao regarded the pillow as someone and vented her resentment angrily and tenderly, Wei Changtian had already appeared in front of Xu Qingwan.
"Why are you still up so late?"
He leaned over with interest and saw a thick stack of ledgers.
"Are you... settling accounts?"
"yes."
Xu Qingwan smiled and pushed the account book this way: "I don't know when you will come back, so I want to reconcile the accounts."
"When did you learn this?"
Wei Changtian was greatly surprised. He flipped through the account book and found that these should be the accounts of his "little family".
"That's what you learned when you went to Fengyuan."
On the other side, Comrade Xiao Xu replied with some pride: "I specially found a bookkeeper to teach me."
"So now you are in charge of the money at home?"
Wei Changtian smiled and asked: "Then how much money do we have now?"
"Including what Sister Lu brought from the capital, there are more than 50,000 taels in total."
Xu Qingwan pointed to a series of capital numbers on the account book and explained: "Here, look, they are all recorded here."
"..."
Five thousand four thousand six hundred seven ten seven taels one cent.
Wei Changtian glanced at it and thought to himself that he remembered it so accurately.
More than fifty thousand taels is not too much for a family like his, and this actually has something to do with him.
He didn't take any of the property owned by the Shuzhou Branch of the Xuanjing Division, nor did he take any of the money earned by the Freemasons.
To put it bluntly, Wei Changtian only knows how to spend money and not make money.
Even the income in this account book is basically the dividends from some businesses that Xu Qingwan and Lu Jingyao had previously participated in.
"Hahaha, it looks like you are the one supporting me."
After laughing twice, Wei Changtian made a joke casually.
Xu Qingwan also smiled, hit him lightly, closed the ledger, and ran to the cabinet to lock it up.
The two have been together for a long time, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of off-color jokes, and she will no longer discuss the issue of "who supports whom" with Wei Changtian in a serious manner.
"Kacha~Kacha~"
The sound of twisting copper locks sounded one after another, and Comrade Xu was stunned to have three locks on a cabinet.
Wei Changtian looked at her behavior like a little hamster from behind and suddenly said with a smile:
"By the way, let me ask you something."
"Well, you ask." Xu Qingwan was still hiding the account books rustlingly.
"If we only have ten taels of silver now..."
Wei Changtian asked curiously: "How are you going to spend it?"
"Twelve?"
Comrade Xiao Xu turned around with a puzzled look on his face, and actually thought about it carefully before answering seriously: "Of course it will be used to buy grain and rice. You can buy more brown rice, the price is cheap, and the rice husks are
You can also feed the horses..."
"Wait a minute."
Wei Changtian interrupted with a surprised look on his face: "We only have ten taels of silver and we still need to raise horses?"
"To be raised."
Xu Qingwan nodded seriously: "Even if you don't take a carriage when you go out, you still have to ride a horse."
"..."
The poor can only eat brown rice, but they still want to raise a horse for me??
Wei Changtian didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to ask the next question.
"What if there are one hundred taels?"
"Then we can do some small business!"
"One thousand taels?"
"Well... if it's one thousand taels, then you can ride in a carriage!"
"Don't just think about me, what else?"
"Besides that, you can also open a grain store."
"Why open a grain store?"
"Because although the grain store doesn't make much money, it never loses money, especially in troubled times. Food prices have risen sharply recently."
"..."
Good guy, I never expected that Xu Qingwan actually has the potential to be a profiteer.
Wei Changtian smacked his lips and was about to continue asking, "How do you want to spend the ten thousand taels?"
But at this moment, a fleeting thought suddenly crossed my mind.
"You just said... food prices are rising recently?"
"yes."
Xu Qingwan nodded: "Shuzhou is actually not bad. I heard that the mileage increase in other states is even higher. Some places are 30% more expensive than this time last year."
"Is it?"
Wei Changtian frowned, lowered his head and stopped talking.
Comrade Xiao Xu waited for a while and finally couldn't help but asked: "Changtian, what are you thinking about?"
