Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 245 Teach a Man to Fish
After a long time, Pinellia came to his senses.

She had imagined all kinds of things, but she didn't expect this to happen, which was far from what she had guessed.

A person has lost his mother since he was a child, and with his dead father who is already alive, he may not be easy to live.

It's no wonder that when I first saw him, I was full of hostility and kept away from others.

"Uncle Zhang, at least, you are still here, Doctor Mu is still here, and there are many people, including us, what happened before, how can we allow it to happen again?" When Ban Xia said this, she faintly made up her mind .

Fate goes round and round, and it is always fair.

Even Mr. Su, Su Qian's family, and even Su Youli's brothers all survived the troubled times, and they naturally got the favor of General Mu. What do they have now?It's just a business like a workshop, even if it disperses, it's still worth it.

Hearing what Ban Xia said, Zhang Liu came back to his senses, and quickly waved his hands, "No, no, you misunderstood, how can we ask for things from the shop."

But Ban Xia thought, if that day really comes, no amount of money can fill the hole, "Uncle Zhang, don't worry too much, we have come through the hard times before, not to mention grandpa and dad, but my grandma I'm afraid I won't stop it, let alone we can start over..."

"Ban Xia! To put it bluntly, even if you sell everything, there is still not enough for a hole, let alone a bottomless pit!"

Ban Xia came back to her senses, this is true, she was acting affectionate.

"That?" There are many questions I want to ask, where did so many people come from, and how did they manage such a large expenditure?If this really messes up, it will come in handy here, the food, the supplies... can there be?

Zhang Liu shook his head, "Don't worry about these things. Although we are in the same place, we are not separated from the outside world. Doctor Mu is an extraordinary person. People in Shengjing City, who would think of a son of a family, but in this place? The place is so miserable, it's just that he is traveling freely and freely."

It's hard to say, Ban Xia doesn't ask anymore.

"Ban Xia, when I said it, I became more relaxed. It's the same as when they found me back then."

"Find?"

"You don't know, after the war is over, I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm like a walking corpse. One day, I never think about what will happen in the future. At that time, I didn't expect to see the general again. "

No one would have thought of this matter.

"I'm pretty good, at least my hands and feet are complete, but... many brothers were disabled on the battlefield, and they are like disabled people when they come back. Those with better family members have a place to raise them, and those whose family members treat them harshly. I wish I could die early. There is no difference between being alive and being dead." Zhang Liu was a little excited as he spoke.

Ban Xia thought for a while, "Find those people, then what?"

"It was very difficult at the beginning, and then slowly I was able to send some things, at least I could have a bite to eat, but what's the point of relying on others to support you like this? We didn't know it until a while ago. Heizi from my place sent all these things back, and jumped off the cliff after getting drunk..."

"Is he very embarrassed just because of this?" Ban Xia thought about Di Yan's face and said.

Even a tough and resolute man like General Mu became a different person after he injured his leg. Di Yan was taken by him, so he naturally had a shadow of the consequences, and he knew the pain very well.

But war is unavoidable, and what happens to the people who come down from the battlefield naturally becomes a problem. Others may not find it too embarrassing. It is not anyone's fault, and he certainly does not think so.

At this time, if he still has these worries, how can he...

Ban Xia couldn't think about it.

She walked around a bit, "Uncle Zhang, do you know how many shops we have?"

"220 six." Zhang Liu was very sure.

But Banxia's expression changed, her eyes widened, and she shook her head, "No, it's unlikely, there are towns and cities in this county, and there are less than thirty places in the county town. The workshop was forced to open at the beginning, so there are so many left..." And it came from somewhere.

Zhang Liu was very sure, "There are 37 places here, but there are more than one in the city. Back then, Brother Yan and I went to the workshop in the city together."

Be obedient and listen to the sound, and stop when you hear some words.

Ban Xia was surprised. She thought that Li Shi treated Di Yan first as a savior and then as a son. She was still a little wary at that time. Who is she going to complain about.

Now it seems that he is indeed hiding his selfishness, but the shop has blossomed so much everywhere!

"Those shops were indeed related to the shops in the city at the beginning, but later they were almost the same as here. You can rest assured that Pinellia is clean."

Originally, Ban Xia was only thinking of taking one step at a time, and walking steadily in this way.

It seems that there is indeed a difference in the way men and women do things.

There are at least 200 shops, which is beyond her expectation.

Zhang Liu saw that Banxia had a strange expression on his face, and quickly explained, "I didn't intend to say this now. Since you asked, there is no need to lie to you. We have shops in various places, and those shopkeepers are trustworthy people. Stay here, since you know, I put the ledger and income in the store in the county, you can read it at any time, this... is the way that brother Yan left for you, I am afraid that one day, you can still All the way..."

Quietly, I don't know when he did such a thing.

Ban Xia shook her head, "No, nothing will happen, I'm not going anywhere."

Zhang Liu nodded with a smile, a smile appeared on his face.

Now that we have so many shops, it is much easier, "Uncle Zhang, since we have so many shops, what are we worried about?"

"Ban Xia, you know that there is no problem for the shop to make money, but if there is a real war, there are not many times when it can help." Zhang Liu said truthfully.

Ban Xia nodded with a smile, "There are not many times when I can help, it just happens to help, that's all."

Zhang Liu didn't understand.

Ban Xia carefully explained to him, "I'm not mature enough to think now, it's just a rough idea, since most of the things are earned by him, I can always help him with these."

Looking at Banxia's appearance, Zhang Liu was very relieved. Seeing her determination, it seemed that many things could pass like this.

It can be seen that it is rare for a girl to have such a heart and not be confused by those things.

What's more, what he didn't say is that if it weren't for the workshops in the city, if it wasn't for the soybean-growing model proposed at the beginning, or even the cassava at the beginning, they can't say that they would definitely starve to death, but they would have to take a lot of detours.

The opportunity waits for no one, whether it can be ready today is another matter.

In this way, I am afraid that she is the only one who is worthy of standing beside Brother Yan.

"Ban Xia, don't force yourself..."

"Uncle Zhang, have you ever thought about it? With so many shops, how many people are needed? Not to mention that we rely on the things in the field, how many people are there in the shop? What about those who help grow things? So we have to teach How many people can be used? If we want to be better in the future and have more shops, wouldn't we need more manpower?" Ban Xia said.

Zhang Liu hadn't realized what Ban Xia was talking about, but he couldn't figure it out by pinching his fingers. For example, in the nearby villages, there are a lot of people who grow soybeans. At that time, the workshops in the city just started. At that time, people from almost every household in Dongwang Village came to work.

This counts as a snowball.

Ban Xia said again, "So, I don't know how much power it can have, but I think it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. There is really no way out from the battlefield, even if he can keep it, he will still die. If something like Uncle Heizi happened, how can we let them support themselves?"

Zhang Liu suddenly stood up, but sat down again, a little slumped, "It's easy to say, but you can also farm, but it's always much slower than others, the feeling of being laughed at..."

"Uncle Zhang, now, it is not only by farming that one can survive. People can only have the will to live if they are useful. I can't guarantee anything, but there will be those people at that time, and we can at least let them work. , Look, can't a person with an injured leg be a shopkeeper? Of course, there is no problem without a hand. No matter how bad it is, he can learn to be a teacher and teach others to grow soybeans and cassava directly without guidance from others? In many cases, it is not necessary to have hands and feet to live well. Look at our workshop, there are more than 200 shops, how many people should we be able to support? We will use them first, and we will talk about what is not enough. Wouldn’t it be better.” Semi Xia finished all these in one breath.

Seeing Zhang Liu standing still, she wondered if she was being a little reckless, "Uncle Zhang, this may not be so good, but the way is invented by people, we can always find a balance slowly... ..."

With a slap, Zhang Liu knelt down, making Ban Xia jump.

Hurry to help, "Uncle Zhang! Are you trying to kill my life?!"

Zhang Liu looked at the face of crying and laughing, "You are laughing at a big man. If he had been like this earlier, Heizi might not have died. We are so stupid!"

Ban Xia supported him, but she thought in her heart that she is not smart, she just came from modern times, standing on the shoulders of others, and seeing more in the long run.

"Perhaps, there is still Zhao Yang, not only in our place, other places can take the lead in using these people, and then the tax can be reduced or something, so there will be no worries about the future, and there will be less pressure on the future. OK."

"No matter what, let me thank you on behalf of the brothers!" Zhang Liu said, "I'll tell Brother Yan right away, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep because of his happiness."

After speaking, he hurried out.

Seeing his excited appearance, Ban Xia didn't stop him.

"By the way, you guys get ready first. I'll come back overnight, and I can set off together tomorrow morning." Zhang Liu took a deep breath before running out again.

Ban Xia looked at his back, thinking about the many more shops that had been quietly added, and still thinking about the future.

She still has a lot to do.
