Although Chang Xile made the thresher before the autumn harvest, the popularity was not large. Except for Taoyuan Village, only a few wealthy villages and landlords can afford to buy it.

The main reason is that the cost is relatively high, and there are still iron tools involved, and there is still a lot of iron needed. It took a long time to make zuò, and it was not long after this thing was launched, and it was too late to expand production.

Iron tools are controlled by the imperial court, if you want to make fewer things, you can't make a large number of zuò, you have to go through the instructions. It is determined what the thing is made for and there is no malicious intent before it is approved.

Murder weapons such as kitchen knives and woodcutters must be registered when they are purchased, and each family still has a limit, and you can't buy more if you have money. But as the country has become more stable, so have fewer restrictions. In the past, when the situation was tense, there were even cases where five or more families shared a kitchen knife.

The blacksmith shop in the county is small, and it only makes some of the most common ironware, such as pots and kitchen knives. What Chang Xile wanted was too difficult for them, and they didn't have the energy and financial resources to support it, so they could only refuse.

Therefore, Chang Xile had to entrust Shen Baili to help him find a more skilled blacksmith shop in the mansion to help create the things he needed. Because it is a new object, you have to start everything over again, and you have to think about it, which is much more difficult than making common iron objects, and the price is extremely high at the beginning.

Although Chang Xile didn't have to pay a penny in the end, all of them were covered by the Pei family, but it also benefited the entire Taoyuan Village, and people outside the village had to pay a lot of money if they wanted to have it. Many people were frightened when they heard the price, and waved their hands to refuse, anyway, the rice bed was very good, so it was better to spend more effort. Even many of those landlords were reluctant to buy it, thinking that it was better to hire people, and it was not him who was tired of giving the money anyway.

The threshing machine was made for a short time, and the fame has not yet spread, so although there are people who buy it, there are not too many people for the time being.

The Pei family is so generous to give away so many threshers in Daoxiang Village that are not cheap, and they also have other plans.

They plan to send this thing to the front of the emperor, although they did not make it, but such a thing that benefits the people and the country, no matter who sends it, it will be rewarded, just look at the original county order of Taoyuan Village. Sure enough, as soon as this thing was delivered, the emperor was very happy, and shouted a few times in the palace.

That's it, after retiring from the dynasty, he actually got up in the palace in person. The emperor was so happy that he almost didn't stir his hands in, but fortunately the eunuch next to him reacted quickly.

However, the emperor was not annoyed by this, and was still happy, and stayed at Li Concubine's place for several nights in a row, which was self-evident.

The former dynasty and the harem have never been separated, which also shows the emperor's appreciation for the Pei family. Although the Pei family does not have immediate family members who are big officials in the court, but the business is so big, it naturally has its own party, and the Qincha is in this faction, and in this way, they will benefit together.

Chang Xile had previously returned from the mansion and had tried the Qincha.

He entrusted Chang Xisheng to send the rare items brought back by the Shen family from overseas, and told Chang Xisheng to explain more when giving gifts, these are the things brought back by the Shen family's caravan, and the other party will understand immediately.

Chang Xisheng has always understood why literati like to beat around the bush so much, if one of them didn't react, wouldn't it be a chicken and a duck? But he was convinced that Chang Xile would not come to him, and although he doubted in his heart, he did so.

Qin Cha received the gift, and as soon as he heard Chang Xisheng's words, he understood in his heart that he had bought some new things in the Shen family. Chang Xile breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, fortunately he was not an enemy, otherwise it would be quite troublesome, and he had to give up one side.

In this way, everyone is happy.

The reason why Chang Xile let the Pei family receive this credit is also to help their faction to achieve their own goals.

Although he is not firmly tied to this faction now, as long as he goes to the scientific expedition, he will be branded. So it's better to show favor at the beginning, and the growth of this faction will also be beneficial to him. At least what he saw so far, the people in this faction had very good senses and were all practical.

Anyway, this thing is definitely going to get out, so it's better to take this opportunity to benefit your faction.

Today's emperors pay great attention to the people's livelihood, and as long as it is beneficial to the people's livelihood, they will be highly rewarded.

And the Pei family did not disappoint him, not only signed a contract with him, but the content did not let him suffer at all, and even took the initiative to make profits. The Pei family, a businessman, can do this, and he really has a long-term vision.

The contract stated that all the threshing machines sold from the Pei family, although they were not caused by Taoyuan Village, he could share 30% of the profits. Not only that, but it will also ensure that each threshing machine will be marked with the symbol of the Taoyuan Village brand logo, but there is no unique number made by Taoyuan Village.

The Pei family also moved up and down to get officials from their faction to Daoxiang County. This official is notoriously honest and has a clear mind to do practical things. This move is not only to facilitate Chang Xile and find him a backer, but also to profit from Chang Xile.

Chang Xile can do what others can't do in a short period of time at such a young age, his life is still so long, and he will definitely make achievements in the future, and the officials in charge of Daoxiang County will also benefit, which is a good place for experience.

It is not easy for Daoxiang County to come in and be an official today, because many people have the same idea as the Pei family. Especially seeing that the county magistrate of Daoxiang County was promoted so quickly, he had a few feet in his heart.

Originally a small county town that was regarded as a barbarian land, it has become a hot place in the blink of an eye. The Pei family still spent a lot of effort to win this place.

Now Taoyuan Village has become unusual, it has been registered in front of the emperor, and even the emperor knows the name Chang Xile.

Although Chang Xile in order to dilute his own savings, put all the credit on the entire Taoyuan Village. And these farm tools were indeed developed by him and a few carpenters. But the emperor is not a fool, although he is a poor mountain and a remote place, he has never escaped his control, and naturally knows the most crucial person among them.

However, he did not speak, and the Pei family did not mention his name under Chang Xile's advice, but put the credit on the entire Taoyuan Village.

The Pei family did not forget to pat the ass at the right time, and praised: The farmers of the good country are so smart and capable, and every qiē is given by the emperor's grace. With such an auspicious sign, the country will surely prosper, and the emperor will become the first emperor of the ages.

These words have been said to the emperor's heart, no matter how much water is mixed in it, but everyone loves to listen to good words. Moreover, these things are indeed extraordinary, and will greatly promote the development of agriculture.

The emperor is a clear reward and punishment, and with a direct stroke of the pen, the entire farmland in Daoxiang County will be exempted from taxes for five years, and Taoyuan Village will be exempted from taxes for twenty years, exempting everyone from forced labor. And Chang Xile was also singled out separately, and he could enjoy ten times the tax exemption of the fields than before, and if he made further progress in the future, he would increase ten times on the original basis until he was no longer in the world.

Now the whole Daoxiang County is boiling, which is a great thing!

Although as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he repeatedly lowered taxes in order to recuperate. However, the yield in this world is low, and taxes are still a great burden on farmers, not to mention exemption from forced labor.

As soon as the news was announced, Taoyuan Village stopped doing any work, and the whole village set up a banquet for three days. Regardless of men, women and children, all began to have fun during the holiday, and later this day became a day that Taoyuan Village must celebrate every year, even more lively than the Spring Festival.

Li Zheng also used the money from the public middle school to buy a dragon and lion dance outfit, formed a dragon and lion dance team in the village, and danced on the same day. Although the things have just been gotten in their hands and they haven't started practicing yet, everyone's movements are inevitably rusty, but no one will feel bad about it, everyone watched it with relish, and many people danced along with it.

Some people even ran home to pick up their own straw mounds, cloth strips and other things and pretended to dance along, at this time no one blames the nonsense, and they think it is very interesting.

The children even ran around the village, each holding a candy that they had rarely eaten once a year.

The laughter resounded in the sky and did not subside until the night.

This year's autumn harvest was already better than in previous years, but what they didn't expect was that they didn't even have to pay taxes, which meant that the grain produced in the field was their own! In addition, this year's income from picking dogwoods, camellia fruits, digging rivers, etc., not only has food but also money in hand, which is something that I never dared to think of before!

The joy of the people of Taoyuan Village is on their faces, they are singing and dancing, everyone doesn't care about what they sing and how they dance, as long as they can vent their joy.

Even Wan Niang, who was quite introverted, was driven to be in a very happy mood, and even jumped around the bonfire with the people of Taoyuan Village. Although Wan Niang is not from everyone's beautiful background, she is also a small jasper, plus she joins the scholarly family, she is the most reserved on weekdays, but at this time, she is infected by the atmosphere, so she lets go of herself and enjoys herself.

The Chang family also stopped their business for the day and all returned to the village to celebrate together.

And when the new county order appeared in Taoyuan Village, he saw such a happy scene, and the official in civilian clothes next to him wanted to step forward to inform him that the county order was coming, but he stopped him.

Someone appeared in Taoyuan Village, and was soon discovered, seeing that although he was dressed in a simple and extraordinary manner, and there were several entourages around him, he hurriedly went to find Lizheng.

Taoyuan Village has never relaxed its vigilance because of its ancestral teachings, no matter how happy it is.

Li Zheng came quickly, because the new county order was not long in office, so I didn't know if I had never seen it, and I didn't know it, and when I saw the person who came dressed as a scholar, I stepped forward to greet and ask: "I am Li Zheng of Taoyuan Village, I don't know why Mr. came to Taoyuan Village?" ”

The new county magistrate is only in his early thirties, and said with a smile: "I'm here to visit Chang Xiucai, can Li Zheng introduce me conveniently?" ”

Li Zheng understood as soon as he heard it, since the reward of the emperor, many people have come to visit, and even the Qian family has the cheekiness to want to re-establish friendship with Chang Xile. That's it, he even wanted to bring up the marriage again, and was kicked out directly.

Li Zheng saw that he was very human and hurriedly ordered the villagers around him to call Chang Xile, and Chang Xile hurriedly bowed his hand when he saw the new county order, "I don't know that the county order is here, I have missed the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

When the surrounding villagers, including Li Zheng, heard this, they hurriedly knelt down, and the new county commander hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Zhengxu up, "No need to be polite, today is just a visit as an old friend, let's get up quickly." ”

Only then did everyone get up from the ground, although they heard the new county order say this, they still lowered their heads and didn't dare to say more.

The new county commander also knew that he was in an awkward atmosphere here, so he asked Chang Xile to lead him around.

"Song Xiucai lives here." Chang Xile pointed to the small bamboo corridor.

The new county commander nodded, "Song Xiu is a very elegant person, and such a place must be extremely in line with his intentions." ”

Although the new county order has not been here for a long time, it has touched the situation in Daoxiang County almost the same.

Under the leadership of Chang Xile, he not only visited various workshops, but also went to see the saline-alkali land that Chang Xile had remediated before. The previously remediated area grows green alfalfa, which contrasts sharply with the barrenness next to it.

The new county commander personally squatted down and touched the soil on the ground, and the part of the land where the canal was dug was the best in preparation, and there were already some shadows of fertile land.

"If it can really be done, it will be a great achievement." The new county commander sighed.

After some inspection, you can understand why so many people want to squeeze in here. But a small village can do this, and now it is just getting started, and I don't know what it will be like in the future.

Not to mention anything else, if this piece of land is successfully remediated, it will be able to prosper by then.

The new county commander looked at the young man in front of him, although he had a scar on his face, but he couldn't hide his handsome face, and admired it in his heart.

The original future was ruined, but he didn't expect to open up a new path. But in a short period of time, he has made so many things, and he is worthy of being a young genius.

Chang Xile had been observing the changes in the land before, and would record the relevant numbers every day to provide a basis for future governance. Although he can only judge the condition of the land with the naked eye, the progress of the alfalfa side alone is relatively slow, but the alfalfa has taken root and is growing very well, which gives him hope.

After digging the canal, he deduced that in less than three years, it would be fertile enough to grow food.

If such a large piece of land can be turned into fertile land, I don't know how spectacular it will be then!

This is very rare in Daoxiang County, a hilly area.

Hearing the new county order say this, he was also full of expectations.

"The county order has won the award, but he is a farmer's child, and he has an inexplicable attachment to the land, so he likes to put his mind on this." Chang Xile said modestly.

He was rewarded before, and to be honest, he was still a little panicked. Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, he has never been dazzling, and now he is really unaccustomed to pushing him in front of people. Especially the person who has the power of life and death knows about him, which makes him even more restless.

Although for that one, he may be a little person who turns around and forgets about it, but maybe he has watched too many history books and TV in the past, and he always feels that the emperor is like a broom star, and once he is contaminated, he will not end well.

But this feeling was only for a moment, and soon it was calm, and then the matter was forgotten.

It's useless to worry about these, it's better to enjoy the moment.

The new county magistrate just smiled, and he had a plan in his heart.

"It's going to be over next year, are you ready?"

Chang Xile suddenly felt a little weak, because of Song Wangcheng, Chang Xile was more aware of his gap. It's just that he does one thing after another, and he can't devote himself to it, so he can only spare part of his time to read every day.

Seeing this, the new county commander understood, and comforted: "You are still young, so you don't need to be so anxious. Most of the people who can pass the exam are in the recent years, you are still young, and every time you fail, you will have one more precipitation, which is not without benefits. ”

Chang Xile said gratefully: "Thank you for your teachings. ”

"I still have some books there, which I read when I was preparing for the scientific examination, and there are a lot of annotations on them, which may be of some use to you."

Chang Xile's eyes lit up suddenly, the new county order was born as a jinshi and was very experienced in scientific research.

You can't buy these books for any amount of money!

"Thank you, sir! I will definitely work hard and will not disappoint adults. ”

"One qiē only needs to do his best, and the success is in the people, and the plan is in the sky."

The new county order is a pragmatist, and it is not like ordinary scholars who think that reading for an official is the right way. He saw that Chang Xile had a talent in farming, and although he still hoped that his scientific expedition would succeed, he did not want him to bury this talent because of the scientific expedition.

Chang Xile has a good impression of the new county order because of this sentence, this Pei family is really reliable, and the people who move are the type he needs and likes.

After seeing the saline-alkali land, the new county order left, and did not enter the village after a detour, not wanting to disturb the joy of the villagers.

After three days of excitement, the people of Taoyuan Village began to get busy again.

Last year's rotation saw the effect, and it was found that it did not reduce the fertility of the land, and the harvest was still very good. Therefore, after the rice harvest, rape was planted one after another.

The business of the oil mill is good, and there is no worry about sales, as long as everyone is willing to plant, the oil mill can be consumed.

Now that they don't have to pay taxes, the people of Taoyuan Village are eager to spend all their energy.

Last year, the oil mill was idle for a while because there were no raw materials in the later stage. A group of old men in the oil mill had waited until their eyes were green at this time, and they wanted to start work quickly. Now seeing that there are so many raw materials for them to process, I am so happy that my mouth is almost crooked. I don't care how much work this will bring, for them, there is work to do.

This year's harvest of dogwood and camellia fruit is more than last year, we have passed last year, many people usually pay special attention to where there are dogwood and camellia. Especially everyone knows that dogwood sauce and tea oil have long been sold out, and this year it will be overcharged, so they have already started to explore in the forest.

Moreover, Chang Xile also sent people to the neighboring counties to collect them, and the You family was also in Loquat County, and in the end, the total number of collections was found to have increased fivefold compared to last year.

Fortunately, Chang Xile had prepared for it this time, and had built the warehouse before, so he didn't have to worry about having no place to store it.

In this way, there are more people who hire and handle dogwood, and Chang Xile has specially built a house for processing, which is also all mud tile houses, and is called Taoyuan Village Dogwood Workshop. The oil mill also recruited more people, otherwise it would not have been able to turn around.

All the women employed in the workshop were women, and they had only been working for a while. But as long as you do a good job and there is no cheating and cheating, you will be hired at this time of every year in the future, and you will become an old employee, and you will be hired until you are physically incapacitated.

These people have been exposed to pungent smells for a long time, and Chang Xile has been poisoned, and he knows that it is uncomfortable, so he is paid very high. The people who can be chosen are so happy that they can't sleep for several nights.

There are also people who go to Chang's house to do activities, and Chang's family has a unified voice, that is, they are hardworking and willing to work, and they are not afraid of no opportunities.

Although these words are a panacea, everyone has a bottom in their hearts. In addition, although they really wanted to enter the workshop, they also earned a lot of money from their usual picking and other work, so although they were disappointed, they did not feel anything.

The vermicelli and dried rice noodles in Taoyuan Village are also very popular, so Chang Xile has set up a flour mill and a special water mill to grind soybeans and rice into flour. In this way, labor is greatly saved, and the output can be increased and large-scale can be formed. The mill and the dogwood workshop were all on the same hill, one on the mountainside and the other at the foot of the mountain.

In addition to the fact that women are more careful and more suitable, it also means to take care of women. Most of the women hired are from poor families, such as those who are sick or widows with their own children. And for the sake of fairness, there is an additional condition, that is, no one in the family works in other workshops.

It is not easy for a woman in this world, although Taoyuan Village is very tolerant of women, but it is still not as good as men. Therefore, Chang Xile tries his best to provide them with corresponding positions according to the characteristics of the women here.

Economic status determines social status, and only when women stand up can they have a real right to speak.

Chang Xile feels that there should be no discrimination, everyone is equal, and it is relatively fair.

Chang Xile also looked for women in the village who were skilled in weaving, and made special work clothes for the workers in the workshop. It is also embroidered with the Taoyuan Village brand trademark involved in Chang Xile. The brand trademark of Taoyuan Village is based on the outline of peach blossoms, embroidered with green mountains and green waters.

In order to prevent broken hair from falling in, you have to wrap your head and wear a mask. Yiqiē is all for the convenience of work, so the focus is on practicality rather than good-looking, but the people of Taoyuan Village want to have such a set of clothes for themselves, because it means that they can enter the workshop to work.

Those who can work in the workshop can now not only earn money, but also be the object of envy.

Especially the female workers, they walk together every time they go to work, and they laugh and laugh along the way, and they do not hide their happiness.

These women walk with their chin slightly raised and a confident smile, making them look very beautiful regardless of their appearance.

Because if you can join the workshop, you will not only receive your salary every month, but you will also receive a pension every month when you are 'retired' when you reach the age! Not only that, but if you are sick on weekdays, you can also reimburse part of the medical expenses. These benefits have never been available here, and the most feared thing in life is that you will be sick and old and unable to work, but with these, you don't have to worry about it at all.

Although Taoyuan Village has always been kind, if a certain family really can't live a good life, everyone will take a hand, and the public middle school will also pay for it. But those are all affection, not duty, unlike the welfare of the workshop, which is the income of their own labor, and it is taken for granted and not dependent on anyone's breath.

Under such conditions, how can we not let everyone have hope for life, self-confidence and calm?

So now the clothes with the brand logo of Taoyuan Village have become the most envied by the people of Taoyuan Village.

In addition to the people in the workshop, even the villagers who are responsible for selling and collecting things outside will wear clothes embroidered with the Taoyuan Village brand logo. It's a status symbol, and it also instills the concept of branding in everyone.

Nowadays, people outside Taoyuan Village have gradually begun to have such a concept, as long as they see people wearing clothes embroidered with that logo, they will know that they are from Taoyuan Village. And the identity of these people is not simple, they are here for the things produced in Taoyuan Village.

Taoyuan Village collects dogwood, tea and oil fruits, rapeseed, mung beans, rice and other items, and the price given is very fair. Therefore, as long as there is something that you want to sell, you will be very happy when you see this sign. This is especially true in Daoxiang County, because if it weren't for Taoyuan Village, how could they have the opportunity to be tax-free for three years.

In this way, people from other villages will be warm and tolerant when they see this sign in their own place, and these treatments make Taoyuan Village people have a stronger sense of belonging.
