People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 465: Done! The prototype is ready!
Speaking of this, in fact, many villagers are in the same mood, whether they are at the entrance of the village or inside the village, they are all in a bad mood.

When they thought that if they really took such a sum of money, they would have to wander around outside, they felt empty in their hearts.

It’s not that these people miss this land so much. On the one hand, they feel that they were born and raised here. If they really leave this land, they don’t know how they will live.

I grew up slowly on this land, from being ignorant to being sensible.

From growing up in their parents' arms to becoming independent, they know in their hearts that without this land, they would not be able to carry those ideals and beliefs.

In fact, they collapsed a long time ago.

So when they think about leaving here one day and going to a completely unfamiliar place, they don’t know how they should face such a life.

So they are particularly emotional now. They have never been so emotional before, and they have never thought about leaving this place one day.

However, when building a road through their village may occupy some people's land and houses and require compensation, this problem arises.

When this problem comes, many people don’t know how to bear it.

For the dozen or so households at the entrance of the village, they did think at the beginning that they might give us a lot of money as subsidies, making our lives suddenly richer.

In this way, we don't need to worry about whether food can grow in the soil every day. We don't need to manage the things in the land at all, but can just buy them directly.

Even though we have so many grudges that have not been avenged yet, we must show off in front of those enemies.

But when this problem was really put in front of them, they finally understood that it was not that simple.

After all, I have lived on this land for decades, and even my parents and ancestors have lived here.

Our ancestors put so much effort to manage this land so well, just hoping that their descendants and grandchildren can live well on this land.

Our ancestors must have thought so in their hearts. Even if we, the later generations, encounter any problems, we should not leave this land easily.

Because this land carries the sadness and sorrow of too many people, I hope that my children and grandchildren can protect it well.

In this way, I can say that I have justified my efforts in managing this land.

Even at that moment just now, they thought that if they couldn't even be buried with their ancestors after death, wouldn't that be too unfair of a life?

No matter what they have been taught or what they have been taught, they have been taught a very obvious truth: what people seek in life is not wealth and glory, nor the admiration of others.

All I want is peace of mind, a place to return to, and a comfortable life.

If you can't even do this, what's the use of having a lot of wealth?

Just like what the gangster said just now, if you leave this place, even if you have a lot of wealth, it will only bring disaster to yourself.

It doesn't seem to bring anything to myself.

In fact, these people understand very well that they are just ordinary people, so ordinary that no one can resist the temptation of so much money.

And if they have so much money, what do they think of first? Isn't it to save it well and make plans for the future?

They would definitely splurge first and then do other things, but they asked themselves if they could really control themselves.

The answer is obvious. If you can't control yourself, you will definitely spend money extravagantly and get nothing in the end.

What would happen to my life then? I had no money, no land, and no people's support. Would I really become a wanderer like those gangsters?
The people of Jianghu at least have a skill, otherwise they would not be able to wander around. But what else can our people do besides farming?
Once they lose their land, these people will be worse than the people in the underworld.

So when people thought about this, many people were actually very frightened, especially the dozen or so households at the entrance of the village.

I almost suffered eternal regret because of one misstep.

Because if they really left this place, with so much money in their pockets, even if they went to the city, they would quickly squander the money, and then they would have no way to live.

They knew themselves too well, so they knew they couldn't keep the money. That's why they were really scared when they thought of this.

Fortunately, after the quarrel, some gangsters stood up in time and told them that if you guys really take so much money outside, ordinary people will not be able to keep it, and you will definitely bring a lot of trouble to yourselves.

If it weren't for the quarrel that calmed everyone down, they would actually be very unconvinced in their hearts and would definitely ask, "Why do you say that to us?"

Why are you so sure that we will suffer disaster because of so much future? We won’t do that. We are sure we can keep the money.

But now they dare not have such thoughts anymore.

Because they know very well what kind of people they are. It is really like what the people in the underworld say, it is impossible for them to keep all this money. They would be guilty of possessing a treasure only if they got so much money. This is secondary. They have never thought that they will definitely be robbed by robbers and bandits. They don’t think they are that pitiful.

However, they think that after they get the money, they cannot keep it because they cannot control their own hands and feet and will spend it lavishly.

Then they will soon have no money and can't make ends meet. In the countryside, you can still rely on a piece of land to support yourself, but what can you rely on outside? Do you really have to eat dirt? Or beg for food? So they are particularly emotional, especially the dozen or so families at the entrance of the village.

One villager said directly, "If we hadn't had such a fight here and hadn't let out all the luck in our hearts, we would have died outside after we got the money."

This villager's words did not cause everyone to look down on him. Instead, everyone felt that his sincerity and calmness were particularly impressive.

It is actually very valuable to be able to clearly realize this at this time. What is worrying is that at this time, there are people who still don’t know how to restrain their little thoughts.

There are many people who think they are so great because they can control all situations, but that is actually nonsense.

Because anyone can say that they are very capable, and anyone can say that if they encounter that kind of situation, there is no possibility of making any mistakes.

But who can really do it? It is actually very difficult. Precisely because it is difficult, the people in the world would say such a truth at this time, just to make all the villagers understand.

Ordinary people like us cannot keep so much money after getting it, and we may even bring disaster upon ourselves.

Old Li spoke again at this time, "So we all have to stick together. Let's not do things that will make people from the neighboring villages laugh at us."

When it comes to this big guy, I really feel that it is a thorn in my side.

Because of the river channel renovation incident that year, their village became the object of ridicule for the villages within a hundred miles.

Everyone knew that Li Village, with such excellent conditions, missed such a good river because of the river construction, which caused great troubles in irrigation and life.

So this incident immediately became the object of ridicule in the surrounding area. Everyone was saying that people should not be like those people in Li Village, who were so petty and missed out on so many good things.

Being used as a negative example is a thorn in the hearts of everyone in Li Village. When everyone mentions that incident, they all feel that it was wrong at the time.

So when Old Li said this, everyone was actually secretly reminding themselves that such a thing should not happen again.

If something like that happens again, it would not only bring shame to our ancestors, but also to ourselves.

The man from Jianghu said at this time, "So what you are doing now is to prove to yourself and others that you are not that kind of people. Let others know that the men of Li Village are real men and the women of Li Village are not petty."

This sentence is very emotionally powerful, and it immediately stirred the expectations in the hearts of the men and women present.

Then he started to yell, "Yes, yes, you are right. The men in our Li Village have always been upright. They can't say they want to do something big, but they can't be so fussy about trivial matters."

"Brothers, aren't the things we did before embarrassing enough? Those people have been laughing at us, thinking that the men in our Li Village are like sissies and the women are like little girls, not generous at all."

“When people from our village go out, other villages laugh at us and say that we are petty-minded and that no one would cooperate with us in anything.

Because we might not be united because of our stinginess, so even if they are doing labor service outside, they are unwilling to walk with the villagers in our village.

It's really embarrassing to say this to others. Our ancestors in Li Village and our surname Li once had an emperor, but now we are being laughed at by so many people."

Although such words are a bit presumptuous, people in the martial arts world are free and easy by nature and don't care what they say. Instead, they think that this guy is quite capable of living a fulfilled life and what he says is quite convincing.

What's more, his words were even more emotional and inspiring, and many people present understood very clearly what he meant.

These men in my village, no matter what they do, are actually well-known enough to go out into the world.

Just because of the river repair incident, people remembered the disunity in their own village, causing everyone to think that people from Li Village are not worth associating with.

After this reputation spread, the people of Li Village, regardless of gender, age or status, all lost face.

And now they will face another issue, which is the compensation for the land occupied by road construction. So this time real money is being spent, but the core essence of the matter is the same.

It is also about whether we can be more magnanimous. If we really only care about the gains and losses of each household, then not only will this matter not be accomplished, but it will also become a point of ridicule for outsiders.

At this time, Old Li said at the right time: "Young men, young ladies and young wives, tell me, is this little money more important, or is our face more important? I know that everyone is not living a particularly good life now, but as I said, if a person does not even care about his face in his life, I don't know how to live on."

After Old Li finished speaking, some villagers said, "Of course, face is more important. Money can be earned later. Just like what the people in the underworld say, even if I don't get any compensation when this road is built to the entrance of our village, there will be so many people coming and going in the future. I can set up a stall at the door and sell some food, and I can also make some money.

But if we go against the court over the issue of compensation, and the court chooses to take a detour, then this point will be lost."

Someone else said, "That's right. One-time compensation is a one-time deal and it's not always possible. But if we build this road to the entrance of the village, we can set up a stall at the entrance.

Although we don’t get much money at once, it will be a considerable sum of money if it accumulates over the years. Not only can we enjoy it, but we can also pass it on to our children and grandchildren.”

This opened up the conversation and everyone became enthusiastic. Everyone's mind was also opened. The blind man and the gangster who had just spoken saw this scene, smiled slightly, and knew in his heart that it worked.

This village, no, not only this village, this success story has already been accomplished.

In the future, when I go to other villages to promote it, I can also use this village as an example to let everyone understand that in fact, everyone should not focus on the trivialities in front of them, but should see the future gains...
