Chapter 176
After the flood, other villages complained and suffered unspeakably.

But Luxi Village is a thriving scene.

Not only is the fertile land green, but the people in the village are full of energy.

Seeing that the crab seedlings came back, they all circled around the carts of crab buckets autonomously.

"This, is this the crab?"

"Look, so many legs."

"Hey, take it easy, be careful it pinches you—"

The man was so frightened that he threw it into the bucket in a hurry, which made everyone laugh.

The old man Lizheng also had a constant smile on his face.

"Good good-"

Whether it is raising fish or crabs, it is serious business when the seedlings come back.

However, Miao came back, and distribution became a new problem.

"Girl Xia, I don't know how much these crab seedlings are worth?"

When everyone heard this question, they were very disturbed.

Who knows, this crab seedling was brought back from a long distance, and it may have been half a month on the road alone, so the price must be extremely expensive.

Everyone stared at Xia Xiaoqiao closely, and sweat began to sweat on their nervous foreheads.

Because there were rice seeds first, some people had thoughts that they shouldn't have.

"Miss Xia? Is this crab seedling the same as rice seed? Let us use it on credit first, and we will settle it together during the autumn harvest?"

"Then, is that still [-]%?"

Everyone, you say a word to me.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

As long as you don't spend money, you will take a lot less risk. If the harvest is not good, you will not lose anything, but if you have a harvest, you can still get some benefits.

No one would think that there will be a bumper harvest in the golden autumn, and no one can guarantee it in this year.

Even Xia Xiaoqiao didn't dare to guarantee it. The reason why she wanted the [-]% of the food was not for herself, but to keep the seeds.

But crab seedlings are different from farming.

Apparently the old man Lizheng also understood this truth, so he directly glanced at the man's father.

His father understood, turned around and slapped his son on the head, cursing: "You brat, how old are you? You don't want to be shameless, can't you take advantage of it? How did I give birth to you?" thing?"

Not only did he slap, but he also kicked his own son.

The kid wasn't angry either, and hurriedly smiled and coaxed: "Father, dad, you should be gentle, I, I'm just asking, asking—"

Everyone laughed and laughed, and the matter was over.

However, everyone was even more nervous.

Seeing this, the old man Lizheng looked at Xia Xiaoqiao and said, "How much money should be paid, Miss Xia, everyone is very grateful to you for doing this for our village, I can't let you pay for favors and money—"

"Third Grandpa, since I'm married, I'm from our village. I'm busy with my own family affairs, shouldn't I?"

Xia Xiaoqiao finished speaking with a smile, and then immediately got into the main topic: "However, this crab seedling is different from rice seedlings. The rice seedlings need to be taken care of and harvested in autumn. But the crab seedlings have to be raised and fed—"

When everyone heard this, they all became serious.

Fortunately, river crabs generally eat some aquatic plants, snails, rotten fish and shrimps, earth dragons and some small aquatic insects. Of course, they also eat food, but at this time, people have no food to eat, let alone them.

"So, whether the crabs are raised well or not depends on each family's dedication."

After Xia Xiaoqiao finished speaking, she said, "Whether it's crab seedlings or the money for selling crabs when they grow up in the future, they will not go to me. From now on, all these will go to the account books of the clan. Our village will form a team, just like the previous patrols. The team is the same, but the nature is different, it is responsible for external business, and everyone should know that in the future, not only tea gardens, but also rice crabs, and even rice, must have a dedicated person in charge, and they cannot be sold privately—”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it. What does this mean?
What kind of team should be formed?
Still not allowed to sell privately?
But Xia Xiaoqiao mentioned this more than once, so they probably can accept it.

It's a matter of candidates, and everyone is more concerned.

"I don't know, how do you choose this person?"

"Yeah? Is there any request?"

Xia Xiaoqiao raised her hand to everyone, and the scene fell silent instantly.

"Of course there are requirements. First, what he does. All choices must be to safeguard the common interests of all villagers in our village. Second, the elected person must have a sense of serving all the villagers in the village. The ones that everyone will definitely like, the third, must be those who have advanced skills and are beneficial to the whole village, the fourth, must be able to read more than [-] words, and the fifth—”

This demanded a string of strings, and the villagers who heard it were dumbfounded.

That's all for the rest, can you read?

Isn't this fatal?

Everyone doesn't know each other!
"Su Jing, I know that everyone is illiterate. It doesn't matter. Although you Lu Xiucai went to Fucheng to study, he taught me a lot of words before he left. Moreover, my master is also literate when he practices medicine, so I will be the two of you first." Teach me, when we find a suitable teacher, our village can set up an ethnology school, and everyone in the village will be able to read and write."

As soon as this was said, everyone was happy.

"It scares me to death. Fortunately, the election is not scheduled now, but after the autumn harvest, so don't our Dalang and Erlang have a chance?"

"Isn't it? Maybe I can have a chance too."

"Hmph, you can push it down, don't say anything else, can you recognize all of those two hundred characters?"

As soon as he mentioned literacy, the old man froze for a moment.

Therefore, everyone quickly realized a problem. They were afraid that the team to be formed could only be selected from young people.

But at this moment, Mancang's daughter-in-law couldn't stand it anymore, she blushed and raised her hands and said, "Miss Xiucai, then, can we women do it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone around her looked at her in surprise.

Mancang hurriedly dragged his wife and reprimanded him in a low voice: "What are you doing? Isn't this a nonsense? Such an important team, why do you meddle with a woman?"

"What's wrong with the girl? Why can't I get involved? This is a big deal in our Luxi Village. I'm also a member of Luxi Village. Why can't I get involved? Isn't it just two hundred characters? The lady of the scholar taught me when she was not busy, I know my name now."

"you--"

The court suddenly fell into a state of silence, and Xia Xiaoqiao smiled and said: "If a woman meets the conditions, it is also possible."

"Huh? Really?"

"Great, great!!!"

In an instant, the female compatriots in the audience began to cheer.

Especially Mancang's daughter-in-law is very happy.

It's almost time to call Xia Xiaoqiao, long live, long live, long live.

You know, in ancient times, women were only men's vassals. How can such a big event have a woman's share?
But Xia Xiaoqiao actually agreed, can they not be excited?

Some were even dumbfounded, stunned, and cried.

Instead, the old people in the village frowned.

"What kind of system is this?"

"Yeah, how can a woman show her face in public?"

"What I'm talking about is, if they are treated as members of that squad, how will the family live in the future? Who do you listen to?"

"Yeah, isn't this nonsense?"
