After returning home, Zheng Yanqing told Zheng Shi'an about his thoughts.

"Don't want fields?"

For people of this era, the fields represent everything. Zheng Shian looked at Yan Qing in surprise, a little confused about what he was thinking in his head. He finally got so much land, but he didn't want to let it go?

This made Zheng Shian a little unacceptable.

Zheng Yanqing also knew that it was not easy to persuade Zheng Shi'an to change his inherent concept of land, so he could only touch on others.

"Grandpa, don't you want to help Grandpa Xiong and the others?"

Zheng Shi'an nodded and said, "Yes!"

"How are you going to help?"

"You just made a scissor and just sold it."

"Sell, how to sell? Why should people abandon the things they were already used to and buy Grandpa Dahammer's scissors?"

"Well..."

Zheng Shian really has no idea.

"Yan Qing, don't you have a way?"

"I do have a way, but the problem is that any way requires a lot of money to support it. How much money do you have? How much money does Grandpa Big Hammer have?"

Zheng Shi'an was stunned!

He has been a housekeeper for the Zheng family for decades, and has never had to worry about food and accommodation, nor has he cared about how much savings he has. However, after careful calculation, he has worked for the Zheng family for so many years, but he really doesn't have much money. The total amount is only a few dozen cents.

This is what he can save since he adopted Yan Qing.

If Yan Qing hadn't been in his prime, I'd probably not even have the money forever. As for the big hammer, it would be almost twenty people to add up and down, which would only be a full meal. It is obviously an unlikely thing to ask them to pay.

"No matter how good the stuff is, what's the use of others don't know?

Grandpa, let’s take the oxanthus cake shop as an example. I heard that when his couple first started cooking, they tried it for free for a whole month. Have you ever calculated how much money they would spend in this month? If there is no investment in this money, who would know the reputation of the oxanthus cake shop? So, if you don’t have money, nothing can be done.”

Zheng Shi'an was silent.

Yan Qing said nothing wrong. If you don’t have money, it’s really a big trouble.

"Besides, grandpa, don't you want to turn this hero into a hundred-year-old font? You just have an idea and someone will give it to you. When Grandpa Dahammer was here, everything was easy. But if Grandpa Dahammer is away, will he give it to you? People will always change. When our grandpa was sent back to Xingyang, grandpa just wanted to have a free life. But now, grandpa, you have begun to think about how to be a rich man.

Can you guarantee that Xiong’s power will not change, Xiongdahai will not change, and that Xiongdahai’s son and grandson will not change?"

Zheng Shi'an was speechless.

"What do you think you should do?"

"We don't want houses and fields, but we can exchange them for real money and silver."

Zheng Shian was a little unhappy, "Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't want such a good house?"

"Haha, there is no land, what is the purpose of this house? Besides, this place is on the side of the official road, and the people coming and going every day are very noisy. Grandpa, I still have to study, so how can I calm down in this kind of place?"

"Then you mean..."

Zheng Yanqing thought for a while, "I remember there is a bamboo forest at the foot of Longmen Mountain, which is also under the name of our Zheng family.

No one pays attention to that piece of land, and it doesn't think it's too expensive. Isn't it elegant to follow my grandson and study in the bamboo forest hut? Besides, we can explain to the eldest son that we can exchange the land and houses for real money and silver. I heard that a mu of fertile land is priced at twenty cents and a hundred acres of land can almost be exchanged for a thousand cents."

It’s not that Zheng Yanqing doesn’t know how to count, but that he has to consider whether the Zheng family will count based on twenty cents.

Don’t forget that there are 200 acres of land in these 100 acres of land. Logically speaking, these lands must be returned to the government. However, it will not be too difficult to turn into Yongye fields. One thousand guan is probably a reasonable number.

Neither too much will make the Zheng family unhappy; nor will it be too little, enough to make Zheng Shi'an start a business.

Zheng Shi'an felt a little painful, and couldn't help scratching his head, thinking and silent.

"Grandpa, let's use this house to exchange Longmen Mango bamboo forest, and the eldest son won't feel at a loss."

"Yan Qing, tell grandpa first, can this really happen?"

Zheng Yanqing nodded and said, "Grandpa, I am 80% sure to do this."

"Then what do we do?"

Zheng Yanqing smiled and spread the paper on the desk, then wrote a seven-character quatrain on the paper in Yan style: Jade made up a tree with thousands of green silk ribbons hanging down. I don’t know who cuts out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

"Didn't Grandpa Big Hammer make a hundred pairs of scissors?

Grandpa, you should take out five hundred stags for decoration. The box should be made of the best golden nanmu, and the most expensive velvet should be used as precipitation. The box should be made of elegant and dignified, and then splash this poem... You said, how much does this pair of scissors cost?"

Zheng Shi'an opened his mouth, "It's okay to have to be ten thousand characters."

"Ten coins, that's the cost, and you have to start at 20 coins."

"Slow down, what is cost?"

This kind of vocabulary that is well-known to people in later generations is undoubtedly too profound for Zheng Shi'an. Yan Qing couldn't explain the economics of later generations, so he explained in the simplest way: "This cost is too much. For example, Grandpa Dahammer needs to make a pair of scissors, the sum of various materials, time, hands, and other things required.

Grandpa, don’t think it’s expensive. You can afford to buy scissors of ten-tons, so you won’t care about the extra ten-tons.”

It sounds like this.

"But in this way, how many people will afford it."

"Grandpa, we didn't have this capital before, so of course we had to start from the lowest level. Now that we have this capital, we have to start from the highest level. At that time, we will divide the scissors into different levels. The most expensive ones will be sold to the royal family... Haha, the so-called upward and lower effect. When those upper-class people start to use them, lower-class people will naturally hear the news.

The same thing, who doesn’t use scissors! But if even the emperor uses it, you will be prosperous..."

Zheng Shi'an was stunned by Yan Qing's fooling.

"Yes, that's right. Even the emperor used my scissors. Who dares not use it?"

Yan Qing let out a long breath and gently rubbed his temples.

Perhaps, the one I am most concerned about at the moment is this grandfather. I have to find a way to gradually fade his feelings for the Zheng family.

Of course, this is not something that can be done every day.

But he had to arouse his self-confidence first. For this, Yan Qing pulled out the emperor's banner, but he had to admit that this banner was indeed useful. At least now, Zheng Shi'an looked full of the emperor's old man.

I just don’t know how the Zheng family members will react?
