Chapter 274 Payment for Quilts
Not long after returning to Xiangjun's mansion, people gathered at the gate.Villagers from Qijiadu came first, followed by those from other villages.

Mo Jian went out to inquire about the situation.The people didn't panic when they saw him, and said, "Let's thank the township lord for allowing us to survive the cold winter safely."

"Explain more clearly." Hei Jian reminded.

"Let's thank the Xiangjun Mansion for the quilts."

When Chen Fan walked out the door, the people immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for the quilt!"

Subconsciously, Chen Fan wanted to step back, held back, and said, "Excuse me, don't thank me for the quilt, you have to pay."

The villagers stood up one after another.Qi Lizheng said: "Payment is due, and gratitude is also due. Everyone's quilts are paid on credit first, and the price is also cheap. The township is righteous."

Others also chattered.

The winter quilts of the people used to be stuffed with various things: straw, reeds, bark, feathers... Last year, the Xiangjun Mansion planted ten acres of cotton, and some people were called to learn how to make quilts.

At first, none of the villagers wanted to buy it.Strangeness is true, and so is expensive.

The villages are responsible for explaining: "The quilt can be paid on credit first, and the payment will be made in several months after the New Year. If you are not satisfied with the cover, you can return the quilt to the township government after the year."

The villagers were skeptical, and with the idea that I would also credit others, each family bought a quilt and went home on credit.Those who wanted to pay also shrank back.

During the days when it was snowing heavily, Chen Fan would not send someone to ask if it was warm or comfortable under the quilt.Then they returned to Wangjiadun.

Seeing the performance of the villagers now, the feeling of being in bed is definitely warm and comfortable.

Some villagers continued to express their gratitude: "My father's legs and feet are not very flexible, so he couldn't come here in person. He asked me to come and say thank you to Mr. Xiang for the quilt that Mr. Xiang sent him. He has never felt so warm in winter. "

People over the age of 60 can receive a quilt for free.

Chen Fan looked at him: "Who covered the quilt?"

The man was a little embarrassed: "My father slept with his two grandchildren."

Chen Fan nodded and looked at the crowd: "Is there anyone who occupies the old man's quilt?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison.Someone boldly said: "The quilts distributed by the Xiangjun Mansion to the elderly are naturally for the elderly. If we as juniors occupy it, wouldn't that be unfilial?"

Everyone nodded vigorously.

Chen Fan felt hehe.Some people are sincerely filial, and some people are probably afraid that they will be punished if they are discovered?
"Respecting the elderly is a virtue. If one is not filial, the Xiangjun Mansion also wants to get to know them." Chen Fan said.

Everyone became serious in an instant.

Chen Fan said: "Go to Lizheng for the payment. You can pay in one lump sum, or in installments, plus interest. How much you pay each time, and how many times you pay it off in installments, should be recorded."

The crowd said some words of gratitude, and gradually dispersed.

Chen Zhongzhu asked: "Who said that the quilt should be returned?"

Chen Fan shook his head lightly: "I haven't heard of it yet, I need to read the records from Lizheng."

"Those who send the quilts back will not have the right to buy quilts from the Xiangjun Mansion in the future, and the villagers are not stupid." Chen Ying said, "They can feel the warmth of the quilts."

The payment for quilts is going smoothly, and the villages are still comparing each other to see which village will receive the payment first.The next day, Eleven Lizheng sent over the money and account books.

"All collected? No installment payment?" Chen Fan thought it was too uniform.

Zheng Jiang Chengda of Qiaoshang Village said: "The villagers are afraid that the payment will be delayed and they will not be able to express their gratitude to the township lord."

Why are these words so unbelievable?

Others did not repeat the words.Xi Quanning from Kaiyun Village said something vulgar: "The villagers can afford two hundred Wen for a five-jin quilt."

This is true, last year the crops were all harvested, even if we bought poultry or livestock, we could still scrape together two hundred renminbi.

Mo Jian spoke: "Have the villagers in Kaiyun Village experienced the feeling of being rich?"

Xi Lizheng's body trembled.

Chen Fan smiled and praised. "Kaiyun Village worked very hard last year, Xi Lizheng contributed a lot."

Xi Quanning smiled cheerfully, and Qi Lizheng's expression was meaningful.

Many people in Kaiyun Village would tremble three times when they saw the ink paper.As long as he hears "ink paper is coming", the lazy man will immediately roll off the bed and drive the hoe to the field.

Vegetables such as celery and eggplant have been planted, and dredging and weeding have begun in the wheat fields.Chen Fan and the others took a boat to cruise the upper reaches of the Chang River.

"I plan to clean up this piece of land this year." Chen Fan was referring to the piece of land between Changhe River and Qingxi River.

"The trees are all cut down, will it affect the weather?" Chen Zhonglin was the first to question.

"It can be transplanted and cut, and several small forests have formed in Changping Township." Chen Yue is not worried.

"Perhaps a paper mill can be built here." Chen Zhongmei was thoughtful.

"We still have a task today, to find wild tea trees." Chen Fan said.

"I haven't seen it." The children shook their heads together.

Chen Fan took out the drawings from the bag and sent them to them.

"There are still such tall tea trees? How did the tea pickers pick them?" Chen Zhongyan was surprised.

What he is talking about is an arbor-type tea tree, which is generally more than ten meters long.

Chen Fan glanced at the blueprint: "This kind of tea tree is located in the ancient Shu Kingdom, Dian Kingdom, and Yelang Kingdom. It may be a bit difficult to find it here. We can find short tea trees."

"We want to plant tea trees over there in Qingshan Village?" Chen Yue quickly thought of the almost bare hill over there.

Chen Fan nodded.

The boat stopped at the foot of a certain mountain, and everyone abandoned the boat and landed with bows and arrows on their backs.

It was slippery and slippery in the forest, and it was a bit difficult to walk.As Chen Fan walked, he looked at the new shoots and leaves on the tree.

"These young leaves are so cute, they're so soft, and they're still greasy." Chen Ya still spoke very cutely.

"What if I can't find the tea tree?" Chen Zhongzhu was thinking about the mission.

"If you can't find it, look for it slowly." Chen Fan said, "You can't delay looking at the scenery."

"When you built the reservoir, you walked hundreds of times in the mountains, but you didn't find a single tea tree?" Chen Fanyan looked at Zhang Ci.

Zhang Ci is very frank: "The few mountains over there have not noticed the tea trees."

The children began to whisper: "Tea trees like light or shade?"

"Tea trees originally grew in the big forest, what do you think?" Zhang Ci looked at them.

Now it's all right, just now we just communicated in a low voice, and now we're directly arguing.

No one can convince anyone.Finally, they found that the eldest sister and brother-in-law had gone far ahead.
