Gu Fei said again: "Dad, now we have so much land and shops in our house. They all need people to take care of them, collect rent, deal with tenants and so on. Someone has to do it."
"This land ." I think it's better to hire a permanent laborer to do the work in the fields and ponds. I'm afraid I won't have time to go to the fields myself."
Gu Zhang nodded, "Okay, then we'll hire a permanent laborer."
Gu Fei said seriously: "Our family still has to do it. Go buy some servants. From now on, you will have your own stewards in the fields and shops, and your parents will be too busy."
Mrs. Chen waved her hands, "How can our family use servants, even Lian'er, and I will too. Treat her as a member of the family, and besides, there isn't much going on at home. Your sister-in-law, me, and now Lanzhi, we just did it casually."
Gu Fei shook his head, "When dad goes out, he has to have a servant follow him, right in front of the house. " You also need a concierge, otherwise if anything happens, you won't be able to find anyone."
"Second brother, don't sell barbecue anymore. Let's learn from the stewards in the shop first. When second brother gets the experience, those few people will be there." The second brother will be in charge of the shop."
Gu Erlang was filled with surprise, "Will I be in charge of the shop from now on?"
Gu Fei smiled, "If you don't take care of it, who will take care of it? This is the family's property, so of course the family will take care of it. Besides, the second brother is older and is now the mainstay of the family."
Gu Erlang scratched his head sheepishly and glanced at Lanzhi, who was also looking at him and nodded to him.
Gu Fei paused, "None of this is urgent. There is another big thing right now. Dad, I plan to buy a few ships and go to sea."
"What?" Chen's tone changed, "You want to go to sea by yourself?"
Ping'an City Being close to the sea, she had also heard people say about going to sea. It was not unusual for the boat to capsize in the sea.
Gu Fei wanted to go to sea by herself. In her previous life, she had only gone to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. When she came here, she also wanted to go out and see the outside world.
She hesitated for a moment, "That's not necessarily true. The trouble right now is the lack of manpower."
Mrs. Chen then said, "I don't care if you buy a boat and go to sea, but just one thing, you can't go by yourself!"
Gu Fei smiled at her mother and didn't say go. , without counting, he turned to tell Gu Zhang in detail about buying a ship and going to sea. This requires purchasing goods. When you go overseas, you have to sell and buy. This requires smart and capable people, preferably experienced people. .
Even if she goes by herself, she still has to bring a few trustworthy people with her, otherwise, no one will do anything.
Gu Zhang and Chen fell silent when they heard that a ship cost five thousand taels of silver and goods worth tens of thousands of silver.
Gu Zhang thought to himself where his daughter had made a fortune. He still couldn't understand her daughter's abilities.
Mrs. Chen was happy that her daughter could earn money, but she was also a little sad. She worked hard growing peppers and hoped that her daughter could live a good life, but she didn't know that they couldn't keep up with her daughter's footsteps.
Not long after the inn opened, it was time to buy a boat and go to sea.
With the little money I earned from farming, I could really only buy a few flowers for my daughter to wear.
Fortunately for Lanzhi, after all, she came out of the Hou Mansion, so she was not frightened, but she admired Gu Fei more and more.
Li Chunhua already suspected that she was listening to the Book of Heaven. She couldn't believe what her sister-in-law was saying.
After all, Gu Zhang was a man who had read books and had knowledge. He accepted this fact after just thinking about it for a moment, "Now, what do you mean, you have the money to buy ships and goods, but you just need manpower to do these things?"
Gu Fei nodded vigorously, and his father's words hit the point.
