Crossing the road to riches

Chapter 78 Take down Lijia Village

It may be that the cannibal's mouth is soft. Just after he finished speaking, Chief Wu called more than 20 people.

All of these people are strong and strong, with bronze skin and well-developed muscles.

"Let's go! Mrs. Wen, let's go now. I'll see those people in Lijia Village kneel down and beg for mercy when they see me."

Wu Shichang sometimes speaks with a bit of gangster air, if you don't understand, you may not look like a good person.

In fact, Wen Hao didn't think about being so anxious. It's the same to take a rest for a whole day and go to reason with them tomorrow, but now that Wu Shichang is an impatient person, she doesn't want to disappoint her.

Shoulder to shoulder with Wu Shichang and these more than 20 people set off, it is quite a taste of bullying.

Lijia Village was not far from Wenjia Village, and arrived in the village in half an hour. Wen Mao stood up and pointed out the location of the village chief's house in Lijia Village.

Village head Li felt guilty for some reason when he heard that Wen Hao had brought more than 20 people here, and wanted to be a coward.

Chief Wu Shi was quite polite and knocked on the door several times, but Village Chief Li was trembling inside and dared not open the door.

Immediately, many villagers from Lijia Village gathered around, and there was a lot of discussion at the door of Village Chief Li's house. Village Chief Li felt relieved and opened the door tremblingly.

Wen Hao wouldn't teach her a lesson in the presence of so many people, and besides, everyone in Lijia Village was there, so they wouldn't just ignore her.

She didn't recognize Mr. Wu Shi, and thought that the tall and burly people behind were thugs invited by Wen Hao.

"I don't know why Mrs. Wen came to the door so aggressively."

In a funny and elegant way, Wen bowed politely in front of his elders and saluted.

"It's nothing important. I just came here to talk about the situation in Lijia Village. Last time my sister came here, she didn't say that she offended everyone in Lijia Village. She also came to ask what's going on."

Isn't this here for revenge?

However, Village Chief Li thinks that Wen Hao can't act recklessly. If the people in Li's Village are bullied by bandits, they will definitely not get any benefits if they go to the government.

Village head Li put on a trembling but smooth smiling face.

"I can't decide this matter alone. Mrs. Wen waits for me to invite the old people from the village."

At this time, Village Chief Li's house was completely surrounded, and almost every household put down their work related to livelihood issues, and some people spontaneously invited prestigious old people in the village.

People came after a while, and I have to say that the Feng Shui of Lijia Village is quite supportive. These seven or eight old people can't walk well, but their eyes are shining brightly, and they won't die for a while.

After everyone was seated, there was no Wu Shichang's share, because Wu Shichang's complexion was dark, otherwise, I'm afraid his face would be gloomy and ugly.

Wen Hao wanted to leave the stool to Wu Shizhang, but Wu Shizhang pressed him to sit down. The force was not small, and Wen Hao's shoulders hurt a little because of the pressure. He must have been suffocated in his stomach.

Village Chief Li is quite witty when he should be smart but not when he shouldn't.

He didn't introduce the topic at the first time, but let the old man next to him speak first.

"Mrs. Wen, that little granddaughter must have told you after she went back yesterday that our Lijia Village is a big village with a lot of people, a lot of labor, and a lot of good fields. We must not agree to the same conditions as everyone else."

There was some commotion among the surrounding villagers, but some did not dare to stand out for fear of being squeezed out at that time.

Life is hard nowadays, if they are squeezed out again in the village, the people who kicked out the big pot will really have to starve to death.

Wen Hao smiled as if she was an obedient granddaughter, and listened to the conversation.

"Okay, I already know what this grandma thinks, and I don't know if the other grandmas also think the same way."

Anyway, in the last word, these old women really wear a crotch.

Wen Hao nodded, then the next thing is that Wen Mao was detained in Lijia Village.

"The younger generation has another question. Last time, my sister couldn't come back so late. In the end, another girl picked her up. After she came back, I heard that the elders insulted her because you took you."

He said it calmly and had no intention of revenge at all.

However, these people still couldn't hold back their faces.

Village Chief Li: "That's true, but it's definitely not that we rely on the old to sell the old, but that your sister spoke rudely to us. We just taught him a few words. You also know that we are all old women, and it is inevitable that we will be a little long-winded."

Another old man also followed the words of the village chief.

"We didn't do anything to her. She is a junior, even if we want her to stay and chat with us for a while, she can stay."

Wu Shichang took the dog's tail grass in his mouth and leaned against the pillar next to him to watch.

Wen Hao winked at Wen Mao.

Wen Mao walked up to everyone, cleared his throat, and explained the benefits of land acquisition again.

"Now I have a notebook here. Everyone, whether you want to or not, please come and register. We can count the numbers. Don't worry, these are confidential and don't be afraid of being known by others."

Although Village Chief Li had a bad face and felt a little nervous, he felt that everyone would not be so stupid that they would not even fight for their own interests.

Wen Mao stood in a place far away, and the villagers could only come one by one, register with a note, and report the name of the head of the household. There are two small seals, the red one is for agreeing and the black one is for disagreeing.

Wen Mao didn't look at it after writing it and threw it into the cloth bag.

There are quite a few people in Lijia Village who boarded the plane for half an hour.

"Mrs. Wen, it's disrespectful for you to do this on our Lijia Village site without the consent of the village head of my Lijia Village."

Wen Hao picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea.

"Don't you also respect people, let the court officials stand aside."

The old people who were sitting there felt a thump in their hearts. They are not so stupid that they still don't know what Wen Hao said.

Wen Hao stood up calmly and invited Chief Wu to his seat.

"This is an official ordered by the imperial court to come down to protect the foundation of the people."

After a brief introduction, Wen Hao retreated and waited for Wu Shichang's performance.

Wu Shichang looked at Erlang's legs and looked at these old people. She should have respected them, but now it seems unnecessary.

"Okay! Very good! Very good! Quite good! For the sake of contempt for the imperial court officials, I don't care about it because of your old age, but you can't escape the crime of obstructing the court's affairs. "

"But I have a compassionate heart, and I don't want to throw you old things in the court. It's just that if you don't want to give this land, you have to conscript it to the court. If you have the guts, you can sue."

Then Wu Shichang said to Wen Hao again.

"The land in Lijia Village, you can use it. If you don't want to register just now, you may be lazy at work, so the final share will be removed, and the wages will be halved. As for the amiable elders in the yard, there is only one person. Leave an acre of land for them to grow by themselves, pay taxes and support themselves, and I will tell my superiors to let them make more contributions to the court."

As soon as these words came out, several old people almost fainted, especially Village Chief Li, who pointed at Wen Hao and was speechless.

"You, you, you are simply deceiving people too much."

Chief Wu opened Village Chief Li's hand.

"Isn't Village Chief Li old and faint? I'm the one who bullies people too much. It seems that you should stop being the village chief. Then choose other promising people."

The angry village head Li rolled his eyes and passed out.

But with Chief Wu Shi leading people here, no one really dared to make trouble.

The matter was resolved perfectly. Three days after returning to Wenjia Village, they heard the news from Lijia Village. The county personally sent someone down to scold the old women in Lijia Village, and then increased the tax by half.

Some people in the family did not agree with this matter, but now they are also blamed by their children at home, and even their granddaughter does not talk to them.

The soldiers brought by Chief Wu Shi took turns to eat at the long table, and thought that the meal on the first day was already the best.

Unexpectedly, the quality of this food has not decreased but increased, and Wen's Juewei can't sell out many of them every day, so they are directly sent to Wen's Village, and there are all kinds of new things.

But the staple food really made Wen Hao very worried. Fortunately, the shopkeeper who used to do grain business in the town had now opened a grain store in the county.

Because Wen Hao is a regular customer, she came here to buy in person this time, so she didn't show any face. One-third of her food was sold to Wen Hao.

This time it directly became Wen Hao's private grain depot.

The two were courteous in the tea room.

"Mrs. Wen is really a boy who makes money. She has made such a fortune in such a short period of time. It is an honor to be able to associate with Mrs. Wen."

Wen Hao also carried it back in a different way.

"The shopkeeper's business is sincere, and Wen Mou is fortunate to have a long-term cooperation with the shopkeeper."

After exchanging compliments several times, both of them were a little smug.

It's just that not everything goes smoothly, and other villages must send reliable people to preside over it.

Wen Mao was alone, and Wen Chun also went to another village for the time being, so Lijia Village had no candidates, so she had to go to sit in the town in person, but she was afraid that Wen's Juewei might not be able to go back in time.

Wen Hao's head was buzzing when he came back from Li's Village. Those old people in Li's Village were really troublesome.

They came and cried next to her ear one by one, crying until she was upset.

He walked back to Wenjia Village with a sad face.

Wu Shichang looked at Wen Hao like this, full of interest.

"What's the matter? Why is Mrs. Wen acting like this?"

Wen was funny and had a bitter face.

"Those old people are so noisy, I can't do anything, and now I feel that my ears are ringing."

Wu Shichang's eyes were somewhat disgusted, and it was a few old things from the Li family village.

Woosh waved his hand.

"Don't go, I'll watch for you."

This Wu Shichang is really loyal, but it's not something that can be done just by being able to guard those old ladies.

"Thank you Mr. Wu Shi for your kindness, I still have to watch the project."

Wu Shi stretched the host's warm shoulder.

Wen Hao didn't like this behavior very much. Wu Shichang's strength is really great, and there are blue finger marks on her shoulders.

But the kindness is hard to turn down, every time she comes suddenly, she can't hide.

Chief Wu Shi didn't think there was anything, she and those good sisters in the army have always been like this.

"You just find someone who can understand it. I think the third uncle in your village is very knowledgeable. Tell him to watch, and I will watch for you. If anyone dares to gossip, I will just take their chin off." ".

This is a good idea, but I don't know if Third Uncle would like it or not.

Wen Hao came to the school and the third uncle was just showing the children their homework.

Wen Hao respected this old man very much.

As soon as he entered, he bent down and made a ninety-degree salute.

"The third uncle's younger generation has something to ask, I don't know if the third uncle is willing to listen."

The third uncle is almost seventy now, but he is cleanly dressed, his back is very straight, and his eyes are not cloudy.

Seeing Wen Hao coming, he also stood up.

"Look at what you said. If you have anything to say, just say it. If I can make my old bones more valuable, it will be considered that I have lived up to these knowledge in this life."

Wen Hao could see that the third uncle must have experienced a lot of ups and downs when he was young. For some reason, the tip of her nose was a little sore when she said this.

"Third Uncle, this junior shouldn't bother you, but I really don't have anyone to use. I want Third Uncle to help me look at the Li Family Village."

Hearing that the third uncle's fingertips were trembling, he naturally knew the importance of this matter, a warm current flowed in his heart, and he also felt the respect Mrs. Wen had for him.

"I would like to, it's just a matter of the school."

Things in the school are simple.

"I'll hire a good-educated and good-natured teacher to take care of the third uncle for a while. If the third uncle is worried, he can come back every day to check the children's studies."

All the children in the village know that the opportunity to study is hard-won. Even if some people are not talented enough, they are all hard-working children.

She was also afraid that her third uncle would worry about those unreasonable old women in Lijia Village, so she also told about Wu Shizhang going with her.

"Don't worry, third uncle, there are many unreasonable and arrogant old women in Lijia Village, Wu Shichang will also go with third uncle, if they gossiping at a young age, Wu Shichang will not forgive them lightly."

The third uncle didn't have any doubts about this aspect. He hadn't heard too many gossips over the years, and he had already practiced the ability to turn a blind eye.

But she was more worried about what was going well in front of her.

"Mrs. Wen, the children in the village are not very old now, and the older ones are all illiterate. Even if you want to cultivate it, it will take many years. Now you are short of manpower. Third Uncle said more, you should recruit more talented people." .

Wen Hao wanted to accept it, but it was so easy to meet talented people.

"Thank you, Uncle San, for your reminder. I've been thinking about this too recently, but I just don't know how to start."

The third uncle gave Wen Hao a wake-up call. The imperial court held exams every year, and only one person could be admitted. Although many people failed the exam, most of them were genuine talents.

"If it is appropriate, you can start from here, but you must choose people with good character, otherwise it will not be a benefit but a cancer."

Wen Hao's third uncle is like a ray of light.

There are not many people taking the official examination in this village, but there are a lot in the county seat. As long as the notice is posted on the square, people will definitely come.

But it is true to pay attention to character, especially whether it is loyal or not, this is the most important point.
