Chapter 162: Visiting
Lin Xiaoman, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that there was an even bigger storm coming.
At the entrance of Yunlai Village, a luxurious carriage suddenly came. In today's Yunlai Village, every household belongs to a solid family. Because of the sweet potatoes cultivated by Lin Xiaoman, while teaching the shopkeeper Bao, he also persuaded the shopkeeper to let the people in the village help plant the sweet potatoes together.
I don't know how the shopkeeper persuaded the Zhao Fuhu, who actually sold the land near Yunlai Village to him. Then the family moved away, and I don't know where they went.
Most of the villagers in Yunlai Village have leased Zhao Fuhu's land, but now they have been replaced by landlords, and they are all panicking, wondering if the new landlord will let them lease this land so that they can have something to eat.
When Li Zheng sounded the gong and announced to everyone, he said that every household in the village only needed to plant the sweet potato seeds provided by the shopkeeper, and then hand over the planted sweet potatoes, and the rest would be owned by the farmers. After everyone was skeptical, they were ecstatic.
Only the old family of the Lin family in the whole village was unwilling to plant that sweet potato, and the other farmers thought that they would just turn over the fields and plant them anyway, and the farmers had nothing else but good strength. And as long as the sweet potatoes are planted, the output of the other leased fields will belong to them, how can they not want to. Even after planting those sweet potatoes, there are not many crops that can be made.
And Lin Xiaoman also handed over all the methods of making fat sausages to the Pan family, and she followed Lao Zhoutou around the field every day. And the secret workshop of the shopkeeper, she only needs to go once every ten days.
The first year of sweet potato production is a bumper harvest. When the bag shopkeeper brings people. When the whole car was pulled out, the villagers in the village were boiling. There was always the bold person who secretly cooked the sweet potato to eat, only to feel that he had never eaten such delicious food. Eight or nine out of ten villagers replaced the crops in the fields with sweet potatoes, leaving only a little land to plant the rice and leave rations for their families.
The old mansion of the Lin family still laughed at that time, if everyone went to plant that sweet potato, naturally the food they grew would be scarce and expensive. It can be produced for the second time. The weather is dry. Most of the millet that is actually produced by rice is deflated.
The sweet potatoes are very drought resistant, and even in such dry weather, the yield is only a little less than the first one. In addition to handing in the sweet potatoes produced in the original fields, the farmers handed in the potatoes. The other sweet potatoes are sold at the price and sold to the shopkeeper. The price given by the shopkeeper was a few cents higher than the grain in the market. When the sweet potatoes were sold out, and they went to buy a year's worth of grain and came back, each family still had a few taels of silver left.
Suddenly, the villagers were still suspicious. The next sowing does not need to be supervised by the shopkeeper at all. It's just that when Lin Xiaoman saw them looking so crazy, he was immediately worried, after all, people are iron and steel. Under the repeated demands of her and the shopkeeper Bao, the shopkeeper Bao's death order was that every family must plant the rice. Otherwise, the land will not be leased.
The farmers had no choice but to come according to the requirements of the shopkeeper. Some farmers don't understand and talk about it in private. said that it was the idea given by the little girl of the Lin family, and there was that reckless, so she went directly to the Lin family to question.
But I don't want the little girl to just say to everyone, if everyone thinks it's okay to eat the sweet potato and not eat. Why don't you go home and eat his sweet potatoes for a month. If you still want to eat sweet potatoes in the second month, then you will be planted in the fields after that.
When the villagers heard this, their hearts moved slightly. Under the cannibalistic eyes of the old Zhoutou, they scattered in all directions. After all, this old Zhou Tou is said to be the person who keeps the shopkeeper, and he also teaches everyone how to grow sweet potatoes, so he can't be offended.
It's just that there are those who are not convinced when they go home, and they really do what Lin Xiaoman said, but they didn't expect that after eating the delicious sweet potatoes for half a month, they felt tasteless.
At the same time, I finally understood the meaning of what Lin Xiaoman said. Those who understood it no longer had the greedy thoughts, and planted the sweet potatoes according to the instructions of the shopkeeper.
Year after year, the villagers' pockets bulged. Naturally, they are full of feelings for the shopkeeper and Lin Xiaoman's family, and although the people in the Lin family's old house are a few years late, they are not bad.
Therefore, Lin Xiaoman moved to Baitou Town with his mother and sisters, although the people in the old house were not indignant and unwilling, they could not resist the support of the people in the village for Lin Xiaoman's family.
After all, Lin Xiaoman's family has brought real benefits to the villagers.
The people in the Lin family's old mansion can't be more low-key in the past few years. Because of what Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin did before, the villagers were very disdainful of their family. Together with the people in the Lin family's old house, they also didn't like it, and told the children in the family not to associate with the children in the Lin family's old house.
The bells on the carriage were crisp, and a group of guards in front took the lead, although it was the first time to come, they seemed to know each other, and went directly to the Lin family's old house.
In the carriage sat two delicate maids kneeling beside a woman, whose eyes were slightly closed, her face calm, but her heart was turbulent.
"Madam, the lord said that he is behind him, and he will be there about tomorrow!" Outside the carriage, a guard whispered back to the woman in the carriage.
"Got it, let's go down!" The woman's voice was as good as the kingfisher's chirping.
When one of the big-eyed maids heard the news, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said softly to the woman, "Miss, do you say that my uncle really remembers who he is?" Do you really want to worship that lowly village woman in the countryside as a mother-in-law? ”
When the woman heard this, she straightened up, raised her hand, and threw a slap directly on the maid's face.
"Master's parents, how can you allow this slave to be abused? Or are you trying to abuse me? Don't think that the master looks at you twice, and then thinks that he can fly on the branch and become a phoenix. Don't forget, the deeds of your family are in my hands, I want you to live if I want you to live, and I want you to die if I want you to die. "What was originally a nice sound turned into a harsh and sharp voice in the end.
"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare! The slave grew up next to Miss, how could she dare to abuse Miss for others! Miss Mingjian, the slave maid has nothing to think about her uncle. The big-eyed slave kept kowtowing, and in a short time her forehead was swollen. And the four red blood marks on her beaten face turned over on the white and tender skin, which looked extremely dazzling.
When the slave next to her saw it, she boldly stepped forward and persuaded: "Miss, don't be angry!" I don't think Haitang should have the courage to think about his uncle, and besides, my uncle is single-minded to Miss, and Miss told my uncle several times that she would bring him in the concubine room, but she was pushed away by her uncle! Even if you don't believe us, you should believe your uncle's heart for you! She observed the look on the woman's face, and sure enough, after she had said this, the woman's tense face finally relaxed. (To be continued......)
