The days when I purchased goods in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 14 Miracle Doctor Reincarnation
Ye Xun's original planning policy was to develop insignificantly, because he really didn't want to be a village chief.

Becoming the village head is bound to be a bunch of trivial things, maybe you will be stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes all the time, and you have to be extra careful when going back and forth between time and space, isn't that just looking for trouble for yourself?
But Li Dali doesn't seem to think so, this guy's complexion is not very good-looking, he looks a little scary under the dimly flickering candlelight of the oil lamp, he asked in a deep voice: "Since Brother Ye also has this intention, why don't you tell me how to do it?" How can we bring the whole village of [-] people through this winter?"

The gazes of the dozens of people present immediately turned. Some were expecting, some were puzzled, and some seemed unfriendly and vicious.

I heard that when Li Dali entered the village, his group had the largest number of people, at least two to thirty people. Now it seems that this is indeed the case. It originally accounted for nearly one-third of the village's population.

It's just that Ye Xun is a little confused. Zhangjia Village is not a rich place. What's the point of this guy who deliberately wants to be the village head?
After a moment of silence, Ye Xun leaned against the door and said slowly, "There are old and young here, and my own family may not be able to support them. How can we guarantee the life of the whole village? The village chief, I think Li Dali very suitable."

Back in the room, Xiaodouzi was still a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to speak out, so he could only squat in the corner, like a cat left alone.

Old man Liu and Ye Xun looked at each other and smiled. Old man Liu stopped Ye Xun who wanted to explain with his eyes, walked forward with his crutches, and slowly squatted down next to Xiaodouzi: "Do you think it's unfair? You brother Ye is a scholar, why can't you be the village head?"

With the moonlight on his back, Xiaodouzi stretched out his sleeve and wiped his face, so that old man Liu could not see the tears on his face, he took a breath and said, "Brother Li is not a good person, I was wrong before."

"Hahahahaha..." Old man Li smiled happily, and rubbed Xiaodouzi's half-length black hair: "We Xiaodouzi are grown up now, and we all know how to think about things that adults would think about. Actually, you It's not a bad idea at all, if you let Brother Ye become the village head, Zhangjia Village will surely survive smoothly, but this village head...we can't be."

"Why? The village head should be home to capable people, so why can't Brother Ye be the one?" Xiaodouzi asked confusedly, not understanding.

"Then how do you know that other people are incompetent?" Old man Liu looked into Xiaodouzi's eyes: "The world is so big, and there are many capable people. Li Dali may be inferior to your brother Ye in some aspects, but he is much more capable than most people." Support, isn't this a kind of ability in itself? Besides, your eldest brother has no intention of interfering in village affairs, and Li Dali is more able to focus on it, so isn't it the best of both worlds?"

It was difficult for Xiaodouzi to understand the falseness of what he said, so he nodded half-understood, and went back to the room to rest under the sign of old man Liu.

The other two were sitting in the yard. Old man Liu sighed, with an apologetic look on his face: "Little Douzi is not sensible and said something wrong, I'm afraid it will implicate Ye Xiaoyou and be restrained everywhere in the future, hey."

Ye Xun waved his hand indifferently and said, "Li Dali just wants to be the village head. As long as the goal is achieved and everyone stays in the same boat, he may not make things difficult for us."

Old man Liu said worriedly: "But there are so many others, I am afraid that this old man..."

"The soldiers will block the water and cover them with soil. If he insists on targeting us, then we can talk about it." Ye Xun didn't want to continue this topic, and asked instead: "Master, if we can't grow food, how will the government collect taxes in spring?" ?”

"It's hard to say... If the law of the previous dynasty would allow the common people to use property to offset taxes, all valuables at home can be taxed. I heard that some places will wait until the next season to collect taxes. It depends on the officials. I'm in a good mood." Old man Liu raised his head and recalled for a moment, then told what he knew.

"Then let's grow some vegetables and turn them in, isn't it okay?" Ye Xun asked suspiciously. He clearly remembered that Xiaodouzi said that vegetable leaves were useless before, but he couldn't help being surprised to hear Li Dali mention this again tonight.

Old man Liu also expressed his incomprehension: "It stands to reason that Li Dali's method will not work. Vegetables are different from rice, noodles, oil and salt, and they are stored for a short period of time. If the government takes them away, they will not be of great use. If there is another natural disaster When there is a famine, is it possible that the emperor’s grain storehouse distributes vegetables and leaves to our people? Except for food, I only heard that gold, silver, silk and cloth are used to pay taxes, and no other old man has ever seen it.”

It turned out to be the case.

Ye Xun understands why his uncle is so worried. That Li Dali seems to be planning to lead everyone out of poverty and become rich. What is the use of vegetables to pay taxes? It's all a lie. I'm afraid that if everyone doesn't believe it, he will bless him as a descendant of the former royal family. identity of……

What a mess.

"I begged some grain seeds from the town today that can be planted in autumn and winter. According to your opinion, can we still grow this grain? Will it attract people's schemes?"

Old man Liu was startled when he heard this, and was about to get up while holding on to his crutches. He asked in surprise, "Is there really such a crop? Can it be planted in winter?!"

Hurrying up to help the old man, Ye Xun looked uncertain: "This thing is called corn. I heard that it has a chance of surviving in autumn and winter, but its shape is different from our common rice and wheat. It is cylindrical... ..."

After introducing the characteristics of corn in detail, the old man Liu patted his thigh excitedly: "Okay, this thing is miraculously tight, and it has a lot to do, a lot to do!"

As for whether it will attract other people's attention or attract the attention of the government, old man Liu actually doesn't care about it: "The world is so big that there are countless things that people have never seen before. As long as it is easy to store, the government will just focus on harvesting. It’s just a matter of asking the sky, it’s okay!”

Ye Xun made sense, what era is it now?There are many places where people don't understand. In the era of thunder and rain and ghosts, who will care what new varieties you grow, as long as they can be eaten.

……

Two days passed in a flash. When Ye Xun came out of the medical clinic, Wu Youshan, who was grateful to him by his side, looked ruddy a lot. The condition of his daughter Wu Sanniang was getting better day by day. It's time to go down to the ground.

Wu Youshan repeatedly stated that when his daughter recovered from her illness in the future, she would definitely come to thank her.

Li Henong, the doctor on the other side, has already become a man of heaven, calling Ye Xun the reincarnation of Hua Tuo's contemporary genius doctor. The news that the medical clinic cured a patient with wind evil spread like wildfire. The doctor of the restaurant came to visit... Fortunately, Ye Xun ran fast and asked Li Henong to decline these invitations on the grounds of his busy work. Otherwise, with his poor medical knowledge, he might not be asked by a bunch of white-bearded old men Unable to speak, he was thrown into a corner abruptly.

Sometimes, you still have to maintain a sense of mystery, so that you can live a stable life with uncertainty.
