Chapter 284: Attracting the Emperor's Attention
Li Shan is a petty and attentive man, and while walking, he told Liang Xinming that his family lives at the end of the village, and there is a road from the village. ”
Liang Xinming said: "This is reasonable. ”
Li Shan said: "Our family didn't build a courtyard wall, and when we were busy for a while, the villain would make some adobe and build a courtyard wall, so that chickens would run around and weasels would also be harmed." ”
Liang Xinming didn't care, thinking that he was deliberately following his own words.
When he arrived at Li's house, Liang Xinming's eyes lit up.
The Li family has four rooms, earthen walls and thatched roofs, and the yard in front of the door is very large and flat, as he said, there is no wall. There are two willow trees on the left side of the yard, and there is a rope in the middle to dry clothes, and a bright red rooster and a few hens are napping under the willow trees, and on the right side of the yard is a vegetable garden.
A bamboo fence was planted around the boxy vegetable garden, and hibiscus was planted outside the bamboo fence, which had not yet grown tall and had pink flowers. When these hibiscus grow taller, they can replace bamboo fences and become natural green flower barriers and fences.
There are abundant fruits and vegetables in the bamboo fence, and from the outside, you can see lentils and beans climbing all over the bamboo fence, as well as a few peach and plum trees in the middle of the vegetable garden.
Liang Xinming praised from the bottom of his heart: "This vegetable garden is well tied. ”
Li Shan was overjoyed, didn't let her enter the house first, and led her and Zhao Ziyi to the vegetable garden first. The entrance of the vegetable garden was only blocked by a door made of bamboo branches, Li Shan took it away, turned sideways and let Liang Xinming and the others go in first, and then followed up by himself.
Liang Xinming discovered that there were not only lentils, but also pumpkins and watermelons planted in the bamboo fence. The watermelon vines climbed to the middle of the ditch and occupied the road, and under the thick green leaves and in the grass, there were many green-skinned watermelons. The peach tree is not yet tall. Li Shan said that these fruit trees were planted only last year, and that they were fruit tree saplings that he had specially asked for after listening to the county magistrate's words, and that watermelon seeds were bought in the city.
Liang Xinming looked at the vegetable garden with abundant melons and fruits and was amazed.
Li Shan picked a big watermelon, and then took Liang Xinming home.
Li Shan's house was only cleaned up in an orderly manner, and his daughter-in-law and daughter were about to go to the field, when they saw that the county lord had come to the house, they didn't go to the ground anymore, and they were all busy.
Li Shan called his daughter-in-law to use cold water to take the watermelon town for a while, and he took Liang Xinming to "visit" the backyard of his house, the backyard has no walls, there are many soybeans planted, and the side of the house is a pigsty and thatched house, which is much cleaner than the one at the head of the village.
Li Shandao, when he was done, he put up the courtyard walls in the front yard and the backyard, and used adobe in the front yard, and planted a circle of tea trees in the backyard, which could be used as a courtyard wall and pick tea leaves.
This time, Liang Xinming no longer thinks that he is obedient to himself, but really has a heart, knows how to live, and is good at learning and learning. Li Shan proved to her that what she said before was not a utopian theory, as long as she had the heart, she could do it.
This is the desirable farm life!
Back in the house, Li Shan's daughter-in-law brought a watermelon. The watermelon was not cut into pieces, but cut in half, and Liang Xinming and Zhao Ziyi held half of it. Li Shan's daughter-in-law gave them each a bamboo spoon and said, "Master, let's eat." ”
Liang Xinming said: "This is too much!"
The countrymen are simple and hospitable.
Li Shan pushed hard and said with a smile: "Master, let's eat, there are still in the garden, we have to eat and pick again." It's rare for the lord to come back, and there is nothing to entertain, catch up with the watermelon when it's ripe, and you can't eat one poor. The master is right, if you are diligent and thrifty, you will not be poor if you have a lively brain. The villain still wants to hear the old man's teaching......"
Liang Xinming and Zhao Ziyi looked at each other and smiled.
I took a bite and praised "This watermelon is very sweet." ”
Li Shan grinned, and cautiously told Liang Xinming: "This is what the countryside looks like." The father can't control his son, let alone the county master. In such a big county, how can everyone be obedient. Don't worry too much about the master, as long as someone is developed, others will blush when they see it - he will definitely be red-eyed, he will follow others to learn, and no one needs to urge ......"
Liang Xinming ate watermelon while listening carefully to Li Shan's lecture on life. "There must be my teacher in a threesome", the words of the sage are indeed true. This Li Shan taught her a vivid lesson in simple language, and it also coincided with some of her ideas.
After eating the watermelon, Liang Xinming has made a decision: to take Li Shan as a typical example of this village, and let him lead the whole village to get rich.
She said, "...... You plant another piece of bamboo, dry the bamboo shoots and sell them, and there are many kinds of fruit trees, and you can't eat them all, and you can grow the fruits, and tell your daughter-in-law to go to the city, and the official will let her teach her this craft. And tea too. These things can be eaten and sold......"
"You are rich, the people in the village are red, don't be afraid of losses, keep more watermelon seeds, give them all, let them all plant. If you plant them all, no one will steal from you, and you will have less trouble. Suffering is a blessing, you do these things in front, you are one step ahead of others, you have more capital and experience than others, you can become bigger!"
Li Shan nodded excitedly, full of confidence.
His daughter-in-law and daughter also hid in their rooms and listened.
Liang Xinming decided to find one or two capable, hard-working, and quick-witted people in each village to set up a model and guide them to make a fortune first. When the people see the benefits, they will automatically follow suit. As for the result, it depends on their creation.
The smallholder economy is characterized by self-sufficiency, and it is difficult to sell what is surplus. To this end, Liang Xinming has to consider the next step: the market's affordability. Whether it is medicinal materials or native products, once there are more people planting, the county seat of Qianxian County is so big, the price will inevitably fall, and it must be sold to Huzhou, Beijing and other prosperous places.
Then, naturally, it comes to business.
If you want to get rich, build roads first!
Liang Xinming's next goal is to build roads.
She also united with the rich and large families in the villages, persuaded them to raise funds to build dirt roads, stone bridges or wooden bridges in the villages, and improved the traffic situation in various places. However, this road repair is not a small project, and she must report to the top.
Liang Xinming knows very well that if there is no Wang Heng, if she doesn't want to climb up, she is afraid that it is possible to stay in this ravine and make a county order for the rest of her life.
She won't settle for mediocrity!
Wang Heng once advised her not to "walk at night in brocade clothes" and to draw the scene of her work on the ruins of the county government fire and send it to the capital, so that the emperor would know her efforts;
How could she get the emperor's attention to her?
She remembered what Emperor Jing Kang had said on the day she left the capital, "I have twenty states in Dajing." The territory is vast and the land is vast. I sit on this world, but I never go out to see this world. He asked Liang Xinming if he was willing to share his worries?
Liang Xinming knew what to send to Jing Kangdi.
Liang County's order is going to climb up, ask the girls for monthly ticket support!
