Chapter 55
In the evening, Xi Tongfang sent the retired people and discussed the use of the money with Ruan and his three children.
Nguyen said, "Take out two thousand taels of silver to buy some dowry and betrothal gifts for the children, and leave the remaining eight hundred taels of silver for spare."
Xi Ming said, "I am still young and I don't have to hurry to buy a betrothal gift. I will first buy a dowry of 1,000 taels of silver for my sister. If the remaining ones are left, leave 800 taels of silver for spare, and use 1,000 taels of silver to buy 50 acres of high-end paddy fields. In the future, our family will have more income."
The top-quality paddy fields in Hangzhou city land are 1 acre of twenty taels of silver and 1,000 taels of silver, which is enough to buy fifty acres of paddy fields. The annual income can support many people.
There are more than a dozen servants at home and they don’t increase their income. How can they afford to support them?
Ayun supported her chin with her hands and supported her little head. She agreed with Ah Niang's argument, and then she felt that the prince was right. Ruan was so angry that she laughed and scolded, "You are just a small fence-bearing grass. You will fall wherever there is wind."
"My grandma, I'll listen to you, but Ayun is still young and wants to study. She doesn't want to marry a wife, so Ayun will marry her elder brother first." Ayun said seriously.
Xi Feng laughed and said, "Ayun, even if you want to marry a wife now, my mother won't marry you. How old are you? You are a little kid, and she ran out with bare ass last year."
A Yun's little face suddenly turned red, and she looked embarrassed, and she argued, "A sister talks nonsense. It's been several years since she's grown up now."
Ruan Shi and Xi Ming were also happy.
Xi Tongfang coughed twice and said, "Then, as your mother said, it is important to buy you a betrothal gift and dowry first. If you can't get the money, our Xi family will be embarrassed."
"Dad, mom, my marriage is not yet settled, so there is no hurry to buy a dowry." Xi Feng said, "I heard that the Chu family has a ship going to sea recently. I think it's better for us to use this money to invest in the shares. When the ship comes back, we can make double the profit, three times, more, five or six times."
"This..." Ruan hesitated, "It's a big deal to invest in a sea boat. My grandmother has also heard of it. I heard that there will be no shadow after the ship goes out to sea."
A big ship disappears on the sea. Not only do the people on the ship disappear, but all the goods on the ship will be gone, and those who participate in the shares will lose all their money and lose all their money.
Of course, there are still a few ships that have an accident at sea, and most ships will return safely. As long as the ship returns, the people who have the shares will make a fortune.
Therefore, some families with surplus silver will take out some money and invest in the sea boat. If you invest more, you will make more money, you will make less money, and you will make less money.
Moreover, this sea ship that has a shareholding is like gambling. If you are lucky, the sea ship that has a shareholding can come back safely and make a fortune. If you are unlucky, the sea ship will lose all your money.
Xi Tongfang knows the most detailed information about the seaship stake.
When he first split up, Xi Tongfang had hundreds of taels of silver in his hand, so he wanted to join the seaship business with them and earn some money. For this reason, he also specially investigated the matter of participating in the seaship business, so he knew a lot.
