Chapter 14 The county town is a bit run down

"Actually, our family has the conditions now. If the conditions are good, they can make some rouge powder by themselves, which will make a lot of money." Zhu Kuang said with some regret.

No matter when, women's money is the best to make. Especially rouge, water, cosmetics, etc., are enough for women to flock to in any era.

In later generations, he had a friend who specialized in the ancient method of making rouge and water powder. He also remembered several prescriptions in subtle way.

However, the family's conditions are poor and they have to make rouge powder. The initial investment is quite large, but it is still unaffordable at present.

Let's wait a little longer and talk about this after making some money.

In the Ming Dynasty in history, capitalism was sprouted, and maybe he could also go this way to make a fortune.

Zhu Kuang made up his mind this year and did not go to greet the people of the Zhu family during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, except for going back to his uncle's house with his mother on the second day of the first lunar month, he only stayed at home.

In fact, if you don’t go to greet New Year, Zhu Kuang is also showing his attitude towards the people in the clan.

From now on, his family will be the head of the family. If you want to take advantage of it, you must show some sincerity. Don’t always think about getting something for nothing, and don’t even think about calculating their family.

He doesn't eat this one!

This move made the so-called clan elders who originally planned to give Zhu Kuang a warning during the Chinese New Year and felt that Zhu Kuang was disobedient.

Several old men even said when they were together during the Chinese New Year that Zhu Kuang will definitely suffer a loss in the future. At that time, no one in the Zhu family can help Zhu Kuang.

If Zhu Kuang knew that if he had left the family, he would be difficult and could not live, etc.

Zhu Kuang never cared their thoughts in his heart and lived a peaceful life every day.

During these days I spent at home, my blessings were not wasted. After exercising every morning, I would take an hour to teach Yingniang to recognize words. The rest of my time was to practice calligraphy and read a lot of books.

The original owner's handwriting was neat, but it lacked some bones. During these days, Zhu Kuang practiced every day and finally saw a little effect. Now his handwriting looks a bit more interesting.

Compared with practicing calligraphy, Zhu Kuang’s greatest gain is reading.

Because of the blessing of never forgetting skills after reading, Zhu Kuang reads books even faster, and basically remembers them as long as he reads them.

In just over a dozen days, I read all the books that were not many at home.

It’s a pity that in this era, books are too valuable, and Zhu Kuang is reluctant to spend too much money to buy them.

But this is not the biggest gain. His biggest gain is that during the reading process, he discovered that some things from later generations he had thought he had long forgotten and the knowledge he had learned slowly appeared in his mind, as if he was digging out deep memories.

Zhu Kuang was really happy. He liked reading books more and more. Even if he had read and remembered books, he would continue reading them.

In just a short time, Zhu Kuang's knowledge increased significantly.

Yingniang used to want to learn to read, but her brother ignored her. Now, with her brother teaching, Yingniang also learns very seriously.

However, Mi Shi really disagrees with saying that a woman without talent is virtue.

He was blocked by Zhu Kuang and said that women also need to read and read, so that they can only take care of their husbands and children and be good mistresses in the future.

The family lived a peaceful and comfortable life, and in a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed.

After exercising for more than 20 days, Zhu Kuang's physical fitness has improved significantly, and his physical strength has increased from the initial 2 to 9. Zhu Kuang believes that within a one-month period, he will definitely be able to complete the novice mission three.

What surprised him even more was that his reputation value was still growing steadily during this period. Although the speed was very slow, it also increased to 32 bit by bit. I don’t know if the smiley often upgraded this skill as the reputation value increased.

These days, Zhu Kuang pays attention to his facial changes, which always brings people a smile that looks like spring breeze and looks particularly comfortable.

It is the 12th day of the first lunar month and the Chinese New Year is about to end.

Although Zhu Kuang still wanted to continue to stay, he couldn't.

He discussed with Mi's family and went to the county town to see if he could rent a small yard. He couldn't wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to move in to the inn, right?

Mi also knew that Zhu Kuang would go to the yamen after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If she didn't follow him, Zhu Kuang would have problems with eating, so he didn't agree.

But Zhu Kuang never had the experience of going out alone, so he told him to be careful and wait.

Zhu Kuang laughed. Mi Shi regarded him as a child. Not to mention that he was just a small county town in Sangyu County, even if he went to the capital city, he could be confident enough to deal with it properly.

But the original owner seemed to be like this, and he had no experience in going out alone. Even when he went to take the exam for the Tongsheng exam, he was accompanied by Dad Zhu.

Qingshan Town is nearly two hours away from the county town. For Zhu Kuang, who has not walked far away, he left early in the morning and arrived at the county town, at noon. Fortunately, he has been practicing for the period of time, otherwise Zhu Kuang would have doubted that he would not be able to get there at all.

Although Sangyu County is the largest county in the surrounding area, it is indeed a good place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers. In this era, water and land transportation are both developed.

This time, the city will be located in a few hundred years later, but at this time it seems that it is just a backward and inconspicuous small county town. There is no trace of the future generations at all.

To be honest, the real development of this place is due to the Su Palace.

King Su moved here, which greatly promoted the development of local economy, politics and culture.

Now, it has only been more than ten years since the Su Mansion has moved here. In addition, after the death of the first King Su, the throne of King Su has been empty. If he remembers correctly, the new King Su will inherit the title next year.

Only then will a wave of great development be here.

Zhu Kuang thought, and felt keenly that perhaps this was an opportunity.

Most of the princes of the Ming Dynasty had no real power, especially King Su who was sent to guard the border by me, had no real power. However, the princes who had no real power were also a dignified royal relative.

At this time, he had the idea of ​​trying to make a good relationship with Prince Su's mansion, but Zhu Kuang also knew about this matter, and it was not something that could be accomplished in a hurry.

Zhu Kuang looked at this strange county town seriously.

There are one main street, four auxiliary streets, and shops are sparse. It takes less than two hours to walk around.

However, small places have small benefits, and it is easy to inquire about things.

In addition, Zhu Kuang is now a skill that smiles often, and he is polite and likable. If you say a few words and ask for some things, wouldn’t that be easy to get?
