"Is this true?"

"Our family is enough to support two maids?"

When Mrs. Xu heard Mr. Xu’s advice, her first reaction was to shake her head.

The family has some money, but there is money to buy two maids.

But for families like them, life is not stuttering, but they are not very rich. After all, there is a Xu Laosan who is still studying and studying. These days, he spends a lot of money on studying.

Not to mention pen, ink, paper and inkstone, just the expenses of taking the exam are the boss’ expenses for ordinary families.

The Xu family has saved some money over the years, and this time, Xu Laosan earned another fifty taels, but the future is long.

Even if Xu Laosan passed the exam for a scholar next year, if he wants to have a future, he still has to continue taking the exam.

If you become a juren in the exam, you should go to Beijing to take the exam, and the expenses will be even greater.

Well, Wang married a low-marriage and brought a lot of dowry money. But that was Wang's private house, and the money was the foundation for a woman to settle down in her in-laws' house.

When the Xu family was in the most difficult time, Mrs. Xu became her jewelry and never spent a penny of dowry for three daughters-in-law.

This is the fundamental reason why her old lady can stand in front of her daughter-in-law!

In other words, their family is not well-off now, and in the future, the old lady will have to write this into the family rules of the old Xu family.

The daughter-in-law's dowry is the daughter-in-law's own private house, with money on her side. Anyone who is a child or a woman in the Xu family is greedy for the daughter-in-law's dowry is not worthy of being the Xu family's wife.

Whether men or women, they must have some backbone.

This is the backbone of Mrs. Xu.

"It should be to be able to raise it!"

Mr. Xu smiled, "Our family is so lucky. I thought about it. When the spring starts, I will go to the town to build a shop and sell some food. The ingredients are grown by our own. It is just hired to process them. The cost is not much. If you earn, you will get rid of the wages of the chef and the hall. The rest will be ours!"

"Then we have become a merchant family?"

Old Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "The third brother wants to study, if our family becomes a merchant family..."

"Wife, you don't know anything about this!"

Mr. Xu smiled, "Scholars, farmers, industrialists and commerce, like those who do small business, such as those who open shops or walk around the streets, are actually not considered business."

"We are still farmers!"

"After all, the things we grow and the things we get from hunting and fishing are also sold. Just a different way to sell them. Don't worry, I value this much more than you!"

"If this is the case, open a shop and open a shop!"

Mrs. Xu was relieved after hearing Mr. Xu’s explanation.

Mr. Xu didn't care at all about this.

Scholars, peasants, industry and commerce? As long as the third brother succeeds, his family will be a scholar. Everything else has become a minority. Besides, the new dynasty does not attach as much importance to the division of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce as the previous dynasty.

On the contrary, the Xin Dynasty also encouraged commerce.

I heard that there was a maritime merchant who made a fortune after returning from overseas.

Unfortunately, the risks at sea are unpredictable. Some people return from overseas and shine their ancestors, while others lose their bodies.

Mr. Xu has no great ambitions, nor does he think that he can live a rich life with his family, and that his wish is fulfilled.

It’s great to be at ease with a little wealth!

Thinking of this, Mr. Xu no longer had much worry.
