Contracts were signed one after another, and all deposits from the salt merchants were handed over to Liu Mo.
When the last salt merchant signed the contract and left the salt gang hall.
Liu Mo immediately took out one hundred thousand taels and handed it to Zhu Min, "Brother Zhu, take it and share it with your brothers!"
"Haha, the elder brother won't be polite to you!" Zhu Min took the banknote and let out a hearty laugh. "As I said before, if you need Lao Zhu, just ask."
"Brothers, don't speak the same language!" Liu Mo smiled.
Then, he took out another 20,000 taels of silver notes and handed them to Gong Changyi, "Father-in-law, please keep these taels of silver."
"This..." Gong Changyi was speechless for a long time.
"In the future, safety on the road depends on our brothers from the Salt Gang." Liu Mo replied. "If it's not enough, father-in-law, just ask."
During this period of time, the Salt Gang suffered a lot from Liu Mo. After so many slaps, I had to give them something sweet.
If you want to reel in wool, you must first fatten the sheep, right?
Gong Changyi didn't refuse. The people under his command had to live, and Liu Mo's banknote was delivered in time, so he had no reason to refuse.
"Thank you!" Gong Changyi accepted the banknote, "Master Liu..."
"Father-in-law, don't call me Mr. Liu from now on!" Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Liu Mo asked, "What do you want to ask me?"
"Okay, Mo'er, Xiaorou?"
"Father-in-law, please rest assured. Since I married Xiaorou, I will treat her wholeheartedly and will not let her suffer!" Liu Mo replied.
Gong Changyi had naturally heard about Liu Mo's treatment of Xin'er, and upon hearing his words, his heart dropped. "That's good! My daughter has been pampered since she was a child. If she accidentally gets into trouble..."
"My son-in-law will watch her!"
Gong Changyi breathed a long sigh of relief, "I believe you!!!"
Next, as a son-in-law, some pleasantries are inevitable.
About half an hour later, Liu Mo said goodbye to Gong Changyi.
Back home, Liu Mo was in a very comfortable mood. The problems that troubled him were solved at once. Not only that, the deposit received today was 120,000 taels, leaving 30,000 taels left on hand.
Counting the previous silver deposits, Liu Mo's small treasury now has more than 40,000 taels of silver.
Wait, this is the deposit, which will be returned to the salt merchant after three years.
return? joke!
Regarding the quality of the new salt, sales volume and market share after three years, if Liu Mo does not increase the deposit, these salt merchants will pray to God.
As for production, Liu Mo is not worried at all.
There is still enough room for development in the more than a dozen salt-making factories in Xiangshan County. Now that the ban is in hand, it is nothing more than recruiting more islanders.
Liu Mo doesn't have to worry about the land. Didn't He Ruda say before that the sixth prince had asked for a reward from the court, and the certificate of appointment as the seventh-grade censor of the Salt Transport Department would arrive soon.
The official of the seventh grade who is in charge of Daxia Salt Industry comes to your Xiangshan to develop a salt production factory. Who else dares to say NO?
Even if it’s public prostitution, it’s all thanks to the good deeds of your ancestors!
Write the letter, put it in a brocade box, seal it, and have your servants deliver it to the inn. The letter mentioned that Lin Yuan must make a personal trip to Xiangshan County to supervise the expansion of the production line and cooperate with the Salt Gang to transport salt.
At the same time, he was informed of recent events and the future development of the salt business.
The reason why Liu Mo didn't choose to go there by himself was to let Lin Yuan, who was a bit "cheated", do it.
On the one hand, my father-in-law is the head of the Lin family's second house. Even though he cheats, he is still one of our own. With such an important matter, our own family members are always more at ease than outsiders.
Second, regarding the salt production industry, the new salt industry will definitely develop in the Great Xia Dynasty in the future. The "company" is developing, and many things need to be shared by people immediately, and Lin Yuan needs to be familiar with it as soon as possible.
The most important thing is that Xin'er's "due date" has arrived.
A few days later at night, at one hour.
Xin'er suddenly felt a burst of abdominal pain.
In ancient times, medical conditions were not high, and giving birth to a child could be said to be a "narrow escape from death"! For this reason, Liu Mo and Lin Shiqi had made full preparations a few days ago.
The maids, servants, and everything needed to deliver the baby are all ready.
The midwife and doctor even moved directly into Liu Mo's home.
Seeing this, Lin Shiqi quickly called the midwife and doctor. Soon after, Xin'er's amniotic water broke.
According to the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, eldest men were not allowed to approach the delivery room. It was said that men entering the delivery room would bring bad luck to the newborn baby and cause disaster.
For this reason, Liu Mo had to wait anxiously in the hall.
"Don't give birth to a boy, otherwise you will be in constant trouble!"
"No, no, no, anything is fine. As long as adults and children are healthy!"
As time passed, Liu Mo became more and more nervous.
About an hour later, at a quarter of a hour, we were in the delivery room. With a cry, a new life falls to the ground.
Soon after, the maid who took care of Xin'er came to the hall to announce the good news.
"Congratulations, sir, congratulations, sir, Mrs. Xin'er has given birth!"
"How is Xin'er? Is she feeling well?"
"Go back to my lord, mother and daughter are safe!"
"Xin'er, she's fine!" Liu Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, "By the way, just now you said that mother and daughter are safe?"
"Yes, sir, Mrs. Xin'er has a daughter left for you!"
My daughter...haha, it’s a little cotton-padded jacket!
It's so perfect. In this way, it can be said that everyone's wish has been fulfilled!
Daughters of the Daxia Dynasty theoretically have no inheritance rights. As long as Lin Shiqi gives birth to a son for me in the future, everything will be fine!
In addition to being excited, Liu Mo couldn't wait to see his first daughter.
"Master, where are you going?" A servant stopped him, "Master, grown men cannot enter the delivery room, it is unlucky!"
"Ah..." Liu Mo frowned, damn, this statement is not scientific at all!
But living in the Great Xia Dynasty, one had to more or less follow the local customs.
"Then quickly bring my daughter over and show me!" Liu Mo said immediately.
"Master, this won't work either!"
"Why? What are the rules?"
"There are no rules!" The maid answered him, "It's night now. If the young lady dares to be born, how can she be exposed to the wind?"
"Ha, yes!" Liu Mo looked slightly embarrassed, "I forgot about this incident."
"Master, the eldest lady, Mrs. Yuan'er, and the fourth lady are all here." A servant told him, "There are also Doctor Cui and Mother Li. There are so many people taking care of you, so just be at ease!" "
Although Liu Mo wished he could appear next to Xin'er and his daughter, in the end he suppressed his anxiety and went back to his room to rest.
"It's good that mother and daughter are safe!" he comforted himself.
It wasn't until the next morning, after Lin Shiqi had settled everything, that she sent her servant to notify Liu Mo.
"Finally I can see the daughter I miss so much!"
When he first arrived at Xiner's room, Liu Mo couldn't wait to run over and gently opened the bed curtain.
The moment he saw his daughter, Liu Mo froze. Her pink and tender face, her two small eyes narrowed into a thin line, her small mouth opened and closed, as if she wanted to shout out the joy of her coming into this world.
"So beautiful...Is this my daughter? My God, she looks like an angel!" Liu Mo thought to himself.
"Xin'er, you've worked hard!" Of course, he didn't forget to thank Xin'er.
"It's not hard!" Xin'er looked tired but kept smiling, "By the way, husband, have you decided on a name?"
"I've already thought of a name!" Liu Mo announced, "It's called Siyu, Liu Siyu, hahaha!"
