Datang Nongwang

Chapter 407 Help
The day.

The helpers who came to Li Zhuang to help, seemed to have taken some kind of pills, they worked with inexhaustible energy, and they seemed to be calling for friends. You said something, and I conveyed it in a word. Such a sudden good news.

Until the evening hours.

Only then did they receive the pancakes and went home.

"His mother, do you know that Li Xianbo has spoken, and he said that we can learn from Lizhuang's retting, and he can also sell us some chickens, ducks and goose seedlings. In the future, we can also be like the villagers of Lizhuang, I live a nourishing life, and I don’t have to worry about starving my stomach anymore.” When Lao Song returned home, he was so happy that he was a little overwhelmed.

When his wife heard Lao Song's words, she was shocked for a long time before she realized, "Father, are you serious? Li Xianbo really said that?"

"Mom, I've heard a lot of people say it, and there will be news in two days." Lao Song's son Xiao Zhi hurriedly said.

And this time.

Lao Song's mother came out of the house after hearing the voice, "Son, is what you said true? If Li Xianbo can teach us how to fertilize, then the crops in the field will definitely increase this year. Yes, when can these chicks, ducks and geese be raised? How much does it cost?"

Lao Song's mother is a real person.

There is always a fear of spending money inside and outside the words.

Also really.

Old Song's family, if it wasn't because of her health that they spent all the money in the family, naturally, she would be afraid of spending money.

The family, which was not well-to-do, borrowed several foreign debts because of her illness. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it made things worse.

Up to now, Lao Song, father and son, have worked in Li Zhuang for several months and earned some wages, so they will pay off their debts.

If it hadn't been for Lao Song's family working as a helper to make money last year, they might not be able to spend much money to treat his mother.

"Mother, I just heard that County Uncle Li has spoken about this matter, and we will have to wait two days for more information." Lao Song responded.

Just such a scene.

In every village and village, it is happening everywhere.

And this time.

Within Li Zhuang.

As soon as Li Chongyuan had finished his dinner, Qiao Su complained to Li Chongyuan, "My lord, we in Lizhuang haven't gotten rid of poverty yet, so you're going to help others, isn't it too early? Besides, you As soon as the words came out, the helpers from all the nearby villages spread the word. I guess they will have to ask me about the situation tomorrow."

"You, you, you really don't see the big picture at all. This kind of fattening is commonplace, and not everyone can raise a large number of poultry. Except for us in Lizhuang, who has the ability? You are so stingy, Really, alas! Forget it, just do what I say." Li Chongyuan saw Qiao Su complaining like this, and it was still in front of Li Yuan.

This made Li Chongyuan feel that in the eyes of these servants in charge, he was almost becoming a display.

Just when Li Chongyuan felt that he lost face, Li Yuan said, "Okay. Yuan'er, this time uncle supports you, that's how it should be. A person who is rich doesn't mean he is rich. If he is capable, he can bring other common people together. Rich, that’s called rich. A village’s wealth is not rich, but the whole world’s rich, that’s called real rich.”

Okay.

When Li Chongyuan heard Li Yuan's words.

I suddenly wondered if this little old man also came from modern times.

and.

If this is the case, it is obvious that the great man on the southern tour said it, so why did it get into Li Yuan's mouth.

This made Li Chongyuan really curious. He stared at Li Yuan closely, wanting to see if this little old man came from modern times like him.

Li Yuan frowned when Li Chongyuan stared at him, "Why are you staring at me? Is there a flower on my face?"

"Hey, Uncle, what you said is good. One person is not rich, but everyone is rich. That's great!" Li Chongyuan quickly flattered Li Yuan.

As soon as Li Chongyuan's words fell, Wan'er waved her hands and shouted the slogan, "One person is not rich, but everyone is rich!"

"One person is not rich, but everyone is rich!"

"One person is not rich, but everyone is rich!"

"..."

Li Chongyuan saw that the girl was obviously talking about herself, so he quickly stopped, "Stop, stop, can you be quiet, you are not rich? You have more than 200 yuan, your fourth brother and I are poor. Give half of your money to the fourth brother, and the fourth brother has a new idea recently."

"No, that's my money. Uncle rewarded you with gold pancakes. You didn't spend any of them. You're richer than me. Just now, my uncle said that one person is not rich, but everyone is rich. Just give me half of the pancake." Wan'er, the little Pixiu, seemed to have been woken up, and bluntly said that the family was going to be separated.

Li Chongyuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache, "Go, go, write and read quickly, good new ideas, if you don't want to make money, forget it, but want to share my golden cakes, you think I'm a local tyrant and evil gentry."

"Local tyrant and evil gentry, where did Yuan'er learn this?" Li Yuan was curious when he heard such a new term.

After Li Chongyuan had to ask, he showed a smile on his face and said, "Uncle, I'm just being careless. Uncle, look, you've drunk the wine too, or you can go to rest too, Qiao Su and I have something to discuss .”

Li Yuan didn't go deep into it, but shook his head, and walked towards the big house with the help of Jin's servant.

Li Yuan was no stranger to seeing some new terms popping up from Li Chongyuan's mouth from time to time.

even.

He, Li Yuan, also felt that his nephew was like a literati, saying that he had the potential to become a great Confucian.

Confucianism?

forget it.

He Li Chongyuan didn't want to be a great Confucian, and Li Chongyuan couldn't be such a great Confucian either.

Who are the Great Confucians?

In Li Chongyuan's words, they are some self-proclaimed nobles, but they are dirty and dirty behind the scenes, just like Kong Yu, who offered sacrifices to the Imperial Academy.

On the surface, it looks like serving the country, the people and the Imperial College.

For the students of the world, for the common people of the world.

But behind this, men thieves and women prostitutes do everything.

As far as Li Chongyuan knows.

Kong Yu, the so-called great Confucian, had three concubines, and one of the concubines was newly recruited two years ago.

He was in his seventies and eighties, and Li Chongyuan was worried that this guy would die in the belly of some concubine. If so, Li Chongyuan would really laugh out loud.

of course.

In this day and age.

Marrying a concubine, or visiting a brothel, is called romantic and unrestrained.

It can even be called elegant.

But in Li Chongyuan's place, it's dirty and filthy.

To put it bluntly, it was Li Chongyuan who disliked such things the most.

Potentially said.

That's because Li Chongyuan hasn't even grown his hair yet. If he really grows it, he will probably follow the trend.

Just like when Li Chongyuan saw a beautiful girl, he would also be distracted.

Don't talk about seeing any beautiful girls, even if Li Chongyuan was molested by the women in the brothel every time he went to Pingkangfang, he would be even more distracted, wishing he could just sneak in.

Two generations of single dogs.

At this point, he can completely let go and play, and he doesn't have to be responsible.

but.

Li Chongyuan has important things to do at this time, and he has no time to take care of these self-pursuits.

Two days later.

Helpers who got the word.

They gathered on the south side of Lizhuang, waiting for the villagers of Lizhuang to count poultry for the helpers.

"Zhang Mao, there are ten chickens, ten ducks, and two geese, totaling 240 Wen. Do you keep the account or pay for it yourself?" Qiao Su asked the helper's name loudly.

The man named Zhang Mao danced happily when he heard his name, and then squeezed through the crowd and approached, and replied awkwardly and anxiously: "Qiao Guanshi, I, I, let me keep the account first." .”

"Okay, Zhang Mao, keep the account for 240 Wen. Wang Chong, Zhang Mao's 240 Wen, you can come to me to get it when the time comes." Qiao Su said to a villager named Wang Chong in Li Zhuang after hearing what Zhang Mao said. .

After Wang Chong got the words, he quickly responded, "Okay, Zhang Mao, there are ten chickens, ten ducks and two geese in here, and you have to bring me the bamboo baskets when the time comes." , otherwise, I will have to find a bamboo strip maker to make bamboo baskets for me again."

After Zhang Mao thanked him for his words, he quickly walked aside with the bamboo basket, so that he could have a look at the poultry that would belong to his family in the future.

Chickens and ducks cost ten cents each, while goose babies are more expensive at twenty cents each.

This is the price that Li Chongyuan and Qiao Su came up with after asking all the villagers in Lizhuang.

Just like Zhang Mao's 22 poultry, accounting for 240 Wen, which is equivalent to working in Li Zhuangbai for nearly half a month.

"Liu De, ten chickens, ten ducks, two geese, a total of 240 Wen, should I keep the account or pay by myself?" Qiao Su continued to read the name.

Liu De, who was standing at the front, saw Qiao Su read his name, and hurriedly said, "Steward Qiao, can I pay half of the price?"

"Yes, but I suggest you to keep the account, so that I can settle the account easily, otherwise, I will pay in one lump sum." Qiao Su laughed after hearing the words.

He really hadn't thought about such a thing before.

According to Qiao Su's understanding, these helpers are estimated to keep the most accounts, and there are not many paying them.

And it's really not easy for him to settle the account of paying half of the money and keeping half of the account.

After Liu De heard the words, he thought for a while, "Then I will keep the account."

"Okay, Liu De recorded 240 Wen..." Qiao Su shouted again after hearing this.

The day.

Li Zhuang was extremely lively.

Since the early morning, the bustle has not stopped.

The batch in the morning didn't end until before breakfast.

And this time.

On Niu Shou Mountain, the helpers of Hujiazhuang heard that Li Zhuang distributed poultry to the helpers, and they also inquired about the helpers who brought them pancakes and hot soup, "I heard that Li Xianbo gave out poultry, how many did your family get?" Poultry?"

"Hey, my family got 22. It seems that this is the number that Li Xianbo assigned to each family. Every family has so many. However, you have to pay 240 yuan. After these poultry grow up, they will be unified by Li County Bo. Buying, I think my family can earn more money when we come here.” The helper didn’t say anything about raising poultry to eliminate pests, but only about earning money.

After hearing this, the helpers in Hujiazhuang thought it was a distribution, but it turned out that they were asking for money, so they didn't continue to inquire.

but.

There is still a fire in their hearts.

after all.

Today's farmers are basically living in the same way. In a word, they are poor.

Even the Hu family in Hujiazhuang are similar.

Just a little bit better.

They are not tenant farmers and have their own fields.

But even if he has land, he needs to pay the government for the land and other taxes.

So no matter how good they are and how rich they are, they are only slightly better than these tenants.

If you meet a bad-spoken and greedy master bookkeeper, or a bureaucrat who skips cards and takes what you want.

I'm sorry, but your life is not as good as that of a tenant.

At least, when the tenants come to the door, there is another owner, and they don't need to pay land tax or anything.

evening.

The tenants of Hujiazhuang from Zhang Ping's family, after receiving their own poultry, rushed towards Hujiazhuang happily, talking and laughing.

And this time.

The Hu family in Hujiazhuang once again blocked their way home.

When Zhang Pingping saw the Hu family blocking the road again, although he didn't understand why, he was not as vigilant and nervous as before, "What's the matter with you? If there is something, just say it, you don't have to do it every time. You are blocking our way home."

"Boss Zhang, don't blame, don't blame, we just heard that Mr. Li is distributing poultry, so we want to come over and ask for advice." A Hu family approached, cupped their hands and said.

When Zhang Ping heard this person's words, he understood, "Don't you also want to raise poultry? But I can't help you with this matter. When we came back, Qiao Guanshi told me that if you If you want to raise poultry, you can go to a few people to ask Manager Qiao, as for what Manager Qiao said, then I don’t know.”

When the Hu family heard Zhang Ping's words, they were overjoyed.

It was the first time for them to be allowed to enter Lizhuang.

"Thank you, thank you. Tomorrow we will send a few people to Lizhuang to obey the orders of County Uncle Li and Steward Qiao." After the Hu family had Zhang Ping's words, thanked them, and then dispersed.

And this time.

Helpers from every village and village.

They also returned home with their own poultry.

And their family members have been waiting at home for a long time.

"Son, this is the chicken, duck, and goose you brought back? Good, good, really good, I haven't seen the chicken, duck, and goose for many years, and our family will get better in the future." An old woman Seeing his son brought home the poultry and came back, leaning on a cane, he was happy and said hello.

His son, who was a helper, was rarely happy to see his old mother, "Mother, don't worry, good days are yet to come, just take care."

Scenes like this abound.

Maybe it's because of poverty.

Just like Li Zhuang last year.

But now in Lizhuang, every household is relatively rich.

And the poultry seedlings sold in large quantities in the form of distribution this time have also made each family earn a lot of money.

What's more, they are all lamenting that their family did not listen to their young man this year and hatch more chickens, ducks and geese.

This is not.

Just like Erwa's family at that time.

Erwa's parents and elders sighed that they did not listen to Li Chongyuan's words, and sat there sighing.

"Father, this money is endless, as long as we listen more to Mr. Xiaolang in the future, we can only blame us for being too careful if we didn't make more money this time." After the mother sighed, she began to comfort her husband.

Erwa's father was relieved by his wife, and looked at Erwa who was sitting not far away, eating pancakes heartlessly, "Oh, it's just that our family didn't produce a smart person. What about you? Little bastard, the little lady teaches you to read and write, every time you run far away, see if I don't beat you to death!"
