********

It's not in good shape, and it's a transitional chapter...... It's only 5,000 words.

**************

For the local people, this is a stone that has fallen to the ground, and for Li Hu, this is a new day.

The arrival of the Dongxia people undoubtedly made him have mixed tastes, but more of it is the feeling of birds entering the sky and tigers returning to the mountains and forests, these people who can be seen everywhere can become the source of his endless strength, that is, the stone field that is now more and more struggling to operate, can also be through these people, recruit Dongxia masters, and make the impossible possible. After returning to the village, he gathered the backbone of the stone field and invited Yang Yanyan's uncle to have a meeting together.

It would be incomprehensible.

At least it was not easy for the participants to understand.

Li Hu made a decision, decided not to give Li Yuanyang a chance, and asked Li Yuanyang to quickly hire a powerful bookkeeper to help him make a directional share change in the stone field, he planned to hand over the 20% share of the stone field to Yang Village, and take out 20% of the share, which was used to pass through the Dongxia side and recruit master craftsmen, so that in addition to the 10% share of Chen County Lieutenant, he himself only kept 50% of the share...... Tranche. This is something that a villager has never come into contact with, and someone symbolically asked him, Li Hu, isn't this all your money? Didn't you give us the money? Some people questioned: Should you give Chen County Lieutenant a cheng, the county lieutenant can keep the stone field safe, and take out a twenty percent to go to the Dongxia people to hire a master? Is it too much, why don't you hire them, but give them a share of the quarry, so that they can also share the money? One person or a few people can share the money that only the whole village can share?

Li Hu had been prepared for this.

Moreover, he was the one who paid for the stone field, and everyone had no reason to make an idea.

The stone quarry is too difficult to open, more difficult than imagined, these days back and forth, it is tantamount to a blind toss, and the more tossed, the more I feel that there is no time to start construction.

Li Hu persuaded them and said: "We don't have a master craftsman, this waterwheel, this stone washing site and treatment equipment, back and forth, so far we can't do it, you don't ask people to help, just deal with the first stone, what kind of stone can be cured?" What is the difference between it and Master Zhang's stone quarry? These two percent are just taken out first and ready to be given to them...... After they came, after showing us the ability, it may not be given to one person or a few people, nor may it be to the Dongxia people, and in the future, if you become a master craftsman and a shopkeeper, you will also have a share. ”

Before everyone could turn away, Li Hu scattered the people again.

He does things like this neatly, and he will never argue endlessly on an issue, say that he thinks about it, and then tell him once and go out.

He walked out of the house, wanted to go back to Yanyan's house, and told him that he was going out at night, but Uncle Yang Yanyan chased after him, called "Li Hu", called him, and asked him: "You said that you want to invite a craftsman, I think you have to invite it, but we are not familiar with inviting Dongxia people, do you think you want your brother to go to the county and the county to inquire and invite someone for you?" With 20% of your share here, there may be a number of craftsmen coming. ”

Li Hu knew it was good intentions.

He already had a general understanding of the level of the entire low-level craftsmen in Jingkang, and felt that he couldn't meet his needs, but he couldn't say it directly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I want a good craftsman who has read books, a great craftsman." If my brother can find it, I want it too. The reason why I said that I wanted to hire Dongxia people was because I had seen this kind of craftsman in Dongxia, and I would go to their camp today, find their arrow captain, and ask them to find it for me. ”

Yanyan and her uncle said worriedly: "Are people looking for you?" Although you are in Dongxia in front of you, you don't know all of them, and you don't have much friendship with others, so why should people help us find them? ”

Li Hu smiled: "I can accept them to work." ”

Yanyan and her uncle taught earnestly: "Even if you can invite them to work, what do you mean by the long-term growth, it is equivalent to our village here, they are all solid people, does he also come to do the work of the stone quarry?" You still don't have much to offer, and besides, he doesn't necessarily know many craftsmen. I'm afraid you'll touch your nose. ”

Li Hu said: "Don't worry. Uncle. He explained: "Whether I know or not, as long as I am the first to find them arrow captain, they arrow commander just came, must be looking for a way to make a living for their own people, it seems to help us, in fact, it is equivalent to helping themselves, and they are different from us, where there are craftsmen, it all depends on people's brains, ask each other, they can check, an arrow can also go to another arrow to check, today tell them the news, a few days later, all the Dongxia people who enter our county can all know that we want craftsmen." ”

Uncle Yanyan laughed: "How is that possible?" ”

And he said, "No." Let your brother come with you and invite the family for a meal? It's about to be a neighboring village, I'm the head of our village, he will always sell face, eat, drink some wine, cooked, it's easy to talk, I don't know anyone I haven't seen before, and I'll let people help when I open my mouth. ”

Li Hu knew that Uncle Yang Yanyan was following Jingkang's routine and teaching himself, so he turned his head and said, "Then I'll go and see it first, and then I will invite them to eat and drink according to your words." You ask Yang Ti to tell my aunt, I won't go back, just go directly. ”

Uncle Yanyan saw that he had jumped up, laughed helplessly, shook his head, turned around and waited for Yang Tui, and saw that Yang Ti saw his father, afraid of calling him home, so he turned around and changed directions.

The old man had no choice but to walk slowly to Yang Yanyan's house and speak for himself.

When he went to the house, he shouted from the side of the yard, and Yanyan ran to help him up.

He asked, "Your mother is cooking", and before Yanyan could answer, her mother came out of the house, greeted "his uncle", and came to him to ask what was the matter.

Yang Yanyan and her uncle hurriedly told her about Li Hu's share of the stone field.

When Yang Yanyan and her mother heard this, they were anxious: "The stone field hasn't opened yet, so he will give the money to others?" The people in the village should be divided, how can they still distinguish people, no rich man does this. ”

Yang Yanyan also asked "ah": "What about others." ”

Yang Yanyan and her uncle comforted: "It's not." Li Hu is very big-minded. How does he care about this money, he wants to recruit talents, this is only in the play, what is Yongxiao Gong singing: The Six Kingdoms, you hear clearly, the west sent a letter to the valley to help the widow to strengthen Yong, and the widow shared Yong with you. ”

Yang Yanyan and her mother said: "You old man says that Li Hu is good all day long, this Ling Gang is not here, why don't you let Ling Zi go to help Li Hu, this stone field makes it difficult for people." ”

Yang Yanyan asked: "What about others?" ”

Yang Yanyan and her uncle smiled: "I went to the Dongxia people to find their heads, and I said that I would go, I said that you and others don't know each other, why do you go." ”

Seeing Yang Yanyan's brows, he asked teasingly, "What's wrong with you?" I'm afraid he'll run away. ”

Yang Yanyan snorted and said, "He runs away, who is rare." I've heard that the girl in Dongxia is bold, and he may not seduce other girls......"

Her mother was stunned for a moment, came to her senses, raised her slap and beat her, and saw Yang Yanyan hiding behind her uncle's back, unable to catch it, and said with a smile: "Do you laugh at you when you say that people laugh at you?" The mother-in-law who got married, and I didn't see anyone tie the belt of the old man in the family, and take a step by step. ”

Li Yuanyang and Fang Hai came to the house for dinner, and also looked for Li Hu, Yanyan and her uncle also stayed at home for dinner, so they asked Li Yuanyang: "Mandarin ducks." You are learned. Do you say that Li Hu can find Dongxia people? Li Yuanyang said gently: "Uncle." Our owner knows that the craftsmen over there in Dongxia are famous! I don't dare to say if I can't find it, but our stone quarry has never been built like this, and we can't build it without people. This gives people some money, and that's how it should be...... I only think it's good to be a master, the owner is the owner, and there are many ways. ”

When the words began, they couldn't stop it.

They waited for Li Hu to come back while talking, and waited until Yang Tiao's mother asked Yang Ti to call his father home, and then asked Yang Tui to shout, and Yang Ti himself joined in to speak.

It was dark, and I don't know how many times it was, but a horse neighing sounded at the door, and Yang Yanyan and Fang Hai ran out one after another.

Li Hu came back, full of alcohol.

Yanyan and her sister-in-law scooped a bowl of water, Li Hu drank it, and said with a smile: "Don't worry." They have a carpenter in the arrow, and they can come and show us the waterwheel tomorrow, but the family is not settled, so I refuse. Tomorrow Mandarin Duck, you bring all the people from our stone quarry, go to them, and help them settle their homes. ”

This decision took the two old men by surprise.

Uncle Yang Yanyan said: "Three hundred people, how much is it a day, if you don't go to work, go and help them settle down?" ”

Li Hu said, "Yes." Originally, I was going to go to Chenzhai to buy livestock, but the arrow commander said that their livestock could also be lent to us for use, and said that early tomorrow morning, he would go to find the editor, if he still couldn't find the master, he would go to other editors, and give us all the craftsmen we needed. I didn't see that their homes hadn't been settled, so I had to find someone for us, and I didn't think it would be reasonable to help them. ”

Uncle Yang Yanyan "Ah", surprised: "Are they really willing to do this?" What did you say? ”

Li Hu nodded and said: "I said that if they want to gain a foothold, they must be accepted by the locals, and they must have a way out to make a living, I am opening a stone quarry, what kind of stone quarry is it, what kind of life can the people who can give them arrows, how many people are in the quarry, how many people will accept them, I hope they can also help me." The arrow commander agreed, and told me that if they needed stone and stone tools, they would teach them to buy them from us. ”

Yang Yanyan and her mother couldn't help but interject: "Dongxia people are so easy to talk? Then you have to thank people. Have you invited someone to your house for dinner? ”

Li Hu shook his head.

The two old men began to say that the arrow chief was good, blaming Li Hu for not knowing anything.

Li Hu was so shouted by the two of them that he couldn't resist it, and argued: "You really don't need to invite." The Arrow Commander listened to me and talked to him in detail, and I said that he would hire a worker from them, and he was thanking me, and we were doing good for them. When you first arrive, you have to be accepted by your neighbors, so that you can make money, right? They need to buy what they need from us. If you need it in the arrow, the arrow chief is duty-bound, and if the arrow is good, the arrow length is good. ”

The two old men couldn't understand it.

How other people's arrows are are different from other people's arrows themselves.

The night was getting deeper.

The next morning, the Dongxia people came to the village.

A lame man brought two Eastern Xia Housheng into the village. Asked Li Hu where he lived, he was very polite to people, a group of children came up to laugh at him for being lame, and he also found some northern dates for the children to eat, but after eating the dates, the children did not think of him well, and continued to wander and mock his defects.

Some adults drove the children away and blamed them, and led them to Yang Yanyan's house.

The family took it out, Yang Yanyan and his uncle also came from home, and after Li Hu finished talking to them last night, they judged that the Dongxia arrow chief was a very good person, so he was very enthusiastic and wanted to let people into the house to eat. But the visitor refused, unloaded some bags from the flatbed, and said: "Some of these northern specialties are not familiar with the villagers, and our arrow commander asked Li Hu to give them to the villagers to taste." ”

Yang Yanyan and his uncle knew that the cripple was not their arrow.

Li Hu went to the stone field, and Yang Yanyan also followed.

Fang Hai was brushing the horse, and when he ran out, he asked excitedly: "Do you want to give something, do you have enough to eat?" ”

The lame man smiled: "There is a little shortage of food, and it is all taken away by the people who go north, there is no grain produced there, and if there is surplus in the village, we can pay to buy some at the market price." But it doesn't matter, if it's really not enough to eat, I'll find a way to make it up. ”

Uncle Yang Yanyan couldn't help but grab his hand, clapped his hand, and praised: "You Dongxia people are so good, quickly take these children into the house and eat at home." ”

The lame man excused himself and said: "When we went out of the Northern Plains, the rules were set above, saying that the people here in Jingkang are not wealthy, and we can't say that we will go to eat if we want to eat." Stay here, we'll be back. There will be a long time to come. ”

Yang Yanyan and his uncle looked at him in a daze, turned around, and limped out of the village with people.

The old man simply ran up with a few members of his family.

I sent them to the entrance of the village, to the river, and when I got home, I was still embarrassed, and when I saw that Li Hu was back, and I came back late, I asked: "Are you in Dongxia, are all the people in Dongxia like this?" This is a lot of specialties, just give it? ”

He sighed and said, "I'm the head of our village, what do you say they should pay them back?" ”

Li Hu said: "Sorghum and soybeans. ”

The old man nodded.

He thought for a moment and said, "I don't think they have enough labor, you see they are still lame, and they are running around." ”

Li Hu said: "There is not much shortage of labor. Go north and don't let people with small families leave their families behind, lame, lame people fighting lame wars, he has a high title, so he has to come out and walk around. ”

The two old men asked people to open the bag, and when they saw some dates, dried fruits and pastries, they sighed again, so they asked Fang Hai to call someone and bring them to the house to taste.

After eating, the two old men no longer said that the three hundred people would settle the household for others, and what would happen to the day's wages, Li Hu said that he wanted to leave, and they said, "Go quickly." ”

Li Hu went now, and when he saw Yang Yanyan making trouble, he also brought Yang Yanyan with him.

In the evening, Ding Zhuang did not come back.

The Dongxia people also came to the village with Fang Hai to invite people, saying that they didn't expect the family to be settled in one day, and they wanted a picnic banquet to let people go together to have a lively ...... Three hundred Ding Zhuang, that is all villages, how much a cost, and I heard that the Dongxia people killed a lot of sheep, although everyone is greedy for excitement and wants to rush forward, but they all have a guilty heart, helping the An family is not a big deal, the cost is quite large? Yang Yanyan and his uncle felt that Ding Zhuang from other villages was there, but the main people who went were from his own village, so he asked each family to also drink and eat and take them away.

When they arrived, a bonfire had already been lit in the field.

The Dongxia people pulled people to the front, jumping and jumping, a few girls were like spinning tops, pulling their skirts, and they could turn from this end of the venue to the flower spinning top, Li Hu was also dancing in it, Ding Zhuang cheered for him, and the Dongxia people also cheered for him, shouting several times, but he didn't hear it.

The old man who accompanied him looked around, and the people in the village and Ding Zhuang in the neighborhood were almost embarrassed to go up, and they walked over in a heap.

Yang Yanyan and her mother looked for Yang Yanyan everywhere.

Find Yang Yanyan. Yang Yanyan and two Dongxia girls were playing by the flatbed.

She was about to go up and say something, take her hold and don't get lost, and listen to them.

Yang Yanyan was asking, "You all know how to read." Still going to school? Can girls go to school? ”

A girl with braids said, "Yes." In our Eastern Xia, if we don't let our children go to school for no reason, adults will be punished. Didn't Li Hu stay in Dongxia? Ask him. ”

She danced her two arms, spun around, grabbed Yang Yanyan and jumped, and said, "Let's go sing and dance." ”

Yang Yanyan screamed, refusing to agree, and shouted when she broke free: "Sister." Don't pull me, woo, I won't. ”

Yang Yanyan's mother stood dumbfounded.

She has never been like today, she feels that her own Yanyan is so pitiful, she can't go to school, she can't read, she can't dance, she sings, she sings with the girls every day, jumps rope, and is with others, she seems to be inferior, and that's it, before, she also felt that her daughter was happy enough, and no one in other families did she hurt her own girl, so she couldn't let go to the ground, let the grass be cut, let the sheep go, and she was allowed to go out at the age of twelve or thirteen.

She shouted "Yanyan", and Yang Yanyan ran to the side.

She encouraged: "Li Hu doesn't know how to dance, you let him teach you, you go to him." ”

Yang Yanyan pursed her lips, shook her head again and again, and whispered, "I don't dare." Li Hu was about to teach me just now, and he was willing to let go when I bit him. ”

Yang Yanyan and her mother looked back at the venue.

Li Hu is like the focus of the field, he can dance, he can take a huqin from others, play it in a loud way, and blurt out a quiet sentence: "Let's learn." ”

Yang Yanyan hugged her mother's waist and said sadly, "Mother." Li Hu is so powerful, so powerful. Dongxia's juvenile wrestling martial arts, the adults have all gone up, and no one is his opponent, no one has won him, no one has won him, archery, no one can win him...... What did her mother give birth to, I don't know anything. ”

Her mother cheered up and said, "Learn." ”

Her mother saw that Li Hu threw the huqin and ran over, her face was full of red light, and it seemed that she had never indulged like this in her village, so she asked: "Li Hu." Why don't you dance and sing in our village? Look at the joy, is our village still not used to it, dare not play. ”

Li Hu was stunned for a moment and said, "No, they don't jump, and I don't want to ......."

He said: "I liked to play like this when I was a child, and I haven't been able to do it for a long time, but I am happy today, and I can't hold back." He whispered, "My mother doesn't allow me to play excessively." ”

He rarely, rarely said that about his father.

Yanyan and her mother were about to blame his mother.

Li Hu raised his head and said, "My mother thinks that the fun-loving human nature will jump out, and it will not be good when she grows up, only when my father is by her side, she can't help it." I don't like to play either. I have a lot of things to do, and if I just play them, they will be wasted. ”

Yanyan and her mother suddenly thought of something and asked him: "Then is your father very status, you tell your aunt, what is wrong with your family now, what happened to your parents?" How do I think they're still there? You and the people of Dongxia can still be so harmonious, and it doesn't look like your parents are committing crimes, you sneaked back. ”

Li Hu circled in his mind, and finally couldn't bear to lie anymore, and whispered, "Don't ask, auntie." You'll find out in the future. ”

Yanyan and her mother didn't ask again.

Li Hu took them to the bonfire, Yang Yanyan suddenly remembered something, and asked Li Hu: "What about your master Li Mandarin Duck." Where is he? It seems to be gone. ”

Li Hu opened his eyes for a while, and said, "Which girl did he fall in love with, he sang a poem today, and he didn't wait for a girl to talk to him?" What are you looking for him? ”

Yang Yanyan tightened her eyes and said, "I want him to teach me how to read." The girls didn't look right when they saw me with you, I know what they were thinking, Li Hu can sing and dance, how can he be with a silly girl. So from today onwards, this girl will learn to write hard. ”

Li Hu said "um" and said, "Then you should also go to their academy." When the people of Dongxia come, they will open schools again, and I can pay for them to build them as much as possible. ”

Yanyan's mother reminded: "First the stone field." When the money is spent, what will happen to the quarry? ”

Li Hu said with a smile: "As soon as the people of Dongxia come, there is no problem with the stone field...... Ma'am. They were all asking me about the bathtub, and I thought, we don't have a lot of giant trees here, and it's hard to tie the bucket, but we can build the bathtub with stones. Their king set a rule for them to bathe and wash their hands frequently, and every household should come and ask for it. ”

Yang Yanyan hurriedly said, "I want it too." When winter comes, no one else can take a bath except for you. I want it too, the first one is mine. ”
