Chapter 180
After dinner together in the evening, Li Yu showed them the notebook.

"Grandpa, I'm thinking of a way. Give me a look. I think pigs, cattle and sheep are selling well, and there are few places to raise them. Refugees need time to open up wasteland and grow food. They can't be idle these few years. People have to eat."

"Why don't we give him food or money and other support, give him piglets or chickens, and let them go to the village to raise them, and I will take them back when they are raised. Do you think it will work?"

"You can try it. I'm afraid I will die if I eat it all if I'm so hungry. If I don't have any money to pay you back, you can do whatever you want."

Grandpa Li knows better that there are many bad people among the poor.

"It's possible. I don't think everyone can act like this. It's really impossible to treat me as a good deed. Anyway, it costs a lot of food to give away porridge. There are always people who are willing to live a good life. There are families and villages that can succeed. , there are people who are willing to follow suit.”

After hearing this, Li Rui said: "Grandpa, I think we can try it. If it succeeds, we can solve some practical difficulties for the refugee village. It will be more long-term than giving away porridge. I believe someone will understand the benefits of it."

"It's also possible to change the grain without money. Humans and pigs are still different. Pigs can eat pig grass and some bran. I'll give you grain or grain, and you help me raise pigs and chickens. Chickens only last for a few months, and restaurants only want half-sized baby chickens, and big roosters that are too old don’t taste good.”

Gu Lei also followed suit.

"It can be done, but there will definitely be losses if you do it. If there is false accusation, there will be free food and drink, and there will be that lazy man who does nothing and waits for your relief."

"Then I'll find some refugees to come over and replant saplings, and now I can replant another batch in autumn."

"Since you have thought it through clearly, let's do it. You brothers discuss it. If there are not enough people, you will drag the children in the school, and learn to keep your eyebrows high and your eyes low. Don't eat meat and look like a fool. The channel of work Contact several more. It's more affordable."

"The price given to tenant farmers in the market cannot be changed randomly, otherwise people will be offended. How about this, if the market price does not change, it will still be [-], tenant farmers three, we seven, we can give grain seeds or chickens and piglets, and we will collect them after raising them , agree on the exact price, how many catties, etc.”

Nowadays, many recruiters in the market pay their wages with food. This is not to take advantage, but to help refugees.

The family affairs are like this, the land is still fundamental, and if we can't buy good land, we will add some woodland and wasteland. Basically, we don't need to spend money to eat and drink, and we can survive no matter how difficult it is.

"There are medicinal materials in the forest that they picked and sent to Zhuangzi. I have already greeted the steward."

Gu Lei chuckled lightly.

"I'm afraid of embarrassing grandpa."

"Okay, don't make a big move, or it will be too wasteful."

"That won't work, grandpa said, I want to live for the rest of my life, it's too much trouble to look good. I have money myself, so don't worry about money."

"Then I know, I will draw a range, according to the spread around our two wasteland farms, select a few of the most difficult and poorest villages to help construction, this is not eye-catching."

"Row."

The aristocratic family pays for their wages with food, and they don’t need to pay for cash. They are also very friendly to the tenant farmers. The tenant farmers just want to eat their stomachs, and they don’t mix any grain with sand. It’s as much as a bucket of grain, which is much more affordable than a grain store. .

"I plan to replant some good trees in that woodland to benefit my children and grandchildren in the future. Good wood is also excellent for furniture."

All that was given was millet, yellow rice and chestnut rice, decent food, and tenant farmers were especially willing to ask for food.

"Yu'er is right, we can't do it all, and we have to give other families a little leeway, otherwise we will become the target of public criticism."

Gu Lei insisted on redecorating the main courtyard where they lived. Grandpa Gu said that he was going to redecorate the courtyard, but in fact he was trying to stand in front of Li Yu so that no one could say anything about her.

During the famine years, some people had the audacity to mix sand with half of the food. Half of the food bought back could not be eaten. The price of food fluctuated according to the market environment due to natural disasters and man-made disasters.

"Sure, I've sent someone to go to the south of the Yangtze River by boat to buy stones and good tree plants, and the house needs to be refurbished."

Their engagement ceremony will be next month. Grandpa Gu has said that the main courtyard of the house is going to be redecorated. Some places were made inappropriate before, and the old man didn't like it.

Li Rui added with a smile.

The Gu family has divided the production, but they still live together, and even food and drink are calculated separately and paid quarterly.

"Row."

"How do you plan to build the main courtyard? Draw me a picture and tell me what flowers and trees you like. I'll buy them and plant a batch in spring."

At present, almost all the aristocratic families recruiting workers in the market are giving decent food, not mixing sand, helping refugees, and making face for the Night King.

"Then use him to fulfill our good reputation, and things can't be eaten for nothing."

Li Yu smiled.

"Grandpa, I thought of something. There are many refugees who need to rebuild houses and cut wood. We can find someone to help, and then recruit some tenant farmers, and directly use food to offset the money."

Some time ago, the second uncle returned all the property from the heir to Gu Lei, and the third aunt agreed to Gu Lei to take care of Gu Xin's property.

The Gu and Li families also give millet and yellow rice. They don’t give much rice, and they will give some during festivals. Generally, tenant farmers don’t want rice, but millet and yellow rice. The price is different. The money to buy rice can buy several catties of millet. Have a full stomach.

After the Gu family came here, it basically belonged to the division of property, but the old man was still there, and the property was divided without dividing the family. When he left the capital, the old man divided the property and only let the second uncle take care of it temporarily.

"The loggers help those who are willing to grow vegetables and raise chickens for us in advance, and help the most difficult villages. Being on the pole is not a business."

The grain in the grain store outside is mixed with sand, and a stone of grain will be mixed with sand in proportion to be used for weighing.

"Don't be afraid, I spend my parents' money, and I don't spend anyone else's money, so I don't care about other people's business."

Li Yu understands the economy better, has worked independently for many years, and knows the market conditions.

"Okay, I remember."

You can eat as much as millet without starving for half a year, but you can only eat it for two months if you eat delicious rice. You also know what to choose.

"For the saplings, contact Xie's family. I bought them from Xie's family last time. Buy better wood."

Gu Lei said something casually.

"Then I like sweet-scented osmanthus. When it blooms, the garden is full of fragrance, and the color is also beautiful. There are also spring flower trees, wisteria is also beautiful, crabapple flower trees are also good, and peach blossoms."

"Okay, I'll remember, I'll look to find a good one for you."

After hearing this, Gu Lei kept it in his heart, and turned around to let his own boat pull it.

After dinner, Gu Lei went back. There are still many things to do at home. The third aunt is the only one in the house to support the family. It is very hard work. Some things cannot be left to the third aunt. Gu Lin's is similar and needs a long time to recuperate.
