Chapter 346: Forget the roots
The Shangyuan Festival has not passed, and the atmosphere of the New Year is still strong, although the New Year's goods distributed to the villagers are a little late, but after all, it is the first of its kind, and naturally no one protests.
Although the New Year's goods are temporary purchases, the good thing is that the current merchants are using the business model of the front store and the back house. Although the shop in front of it has closed down, you can still find the merchants hiding in the back house for the New Year.
It's just that for this kind of business sent to the door on the first day of the Lunar New Year, those businessmen are a little crying and laughing, but after all, the other party has a noble identity, and it is not easy to turn him away, especially since the other party is still the loser in Guanlou Village.
That's a bastard!
My favorite thing to do is to solve problems by force. In this big New Year, more things are better than less things, and it's better not to make yourself uncomfortable.
It's just that during the Chinese New Year, these shopkeepers couldn't find a guy for a while, so they had to personally drive the carriage and horses to deliver the goods to Guanlou Village.
The mighty convoy entered Guanlou Village, and the villagers who had been notified in advance lined up early in the small square in front of the Jue Mansion to receive their respective New Year's goods.
"Sir, how does this make ........" The village elder Ni Qibo stood beside Wen with a cane, and kept babbling this sentence.
Since his ancestors, he has never heard of landlords and old fortunes giving things to tenants. It is said that there is no merit, and for these New Year's goods, Ni Qibo always feels a little hot. I am afraid that this is a means to take it as expected, and it must be given first.
They are bitter, but they can't stand the worry of powerful nobles.
"Uncle Qi doesn't have to worry too much, it's just some daily necessities."
Ni Qibo waved his hand vigorously and said: "Oh, don't you dare to say that, there is oil, noodles, and cloth, plus the money for the children, sir, you are really breaking the bank." ”
Wen Xiao smiled: "This is not a bankruptcy, the villagers have worked hard for a year, and it is not to feed me, the No. 1 loser in the world." Sir, I should have said that.
In the future, I will rely on you to continue to feed me, a loser, and you should not complain. ”
Ni Qibo said with a straight face: "Sir, you are serious, it is all rumors in the market, I can't see such an outstanding talent as you, so I slander you and disgust you."
What kind of person you are, the people outside don't know, our own people, can you still not know! After Ni Qibo finished speaking, he also hammered the crutches in his hand to the ground a few times to show his anger.
Wen smacked his lips and said: "Actually, they are not wrong, sir, I am indeed a bit lavish in spending money." However, you are always right, they are disgusting and slandering me, so I don't plan to correct it, so let them envy and hate me. ”
Hearing Wen's self-deprecation, Ni Qibo couldn't help but smile, for this little lord, although he also expressed righteous indignation at those who spread rumors and caused trouble just now. But to put it bluntly, he also thinks that Wen is indeed a bit lavish in spending money. Especially in the matter of the Qinglou woman, what kind of beauty can be worth 100,000 yuan!
Even the queen probably won't be worth a lot of money. This money, for such a bitter haha as him, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he will probably have to save for a thousand years.
Wen continued: "Since I have already lost the reputation of a loser, I might as well make this reputation a little bigger. After waiting for the next year, spring is coming, and I plan to build a lot of construction, and the early stone materials have been almost prepared.
Now it's up to the villagers to support it. ”
"Sir, you can rest assured, where we can be used, you can just tell us." Ni Qibo assured.
"That's good." Wen smiled: "But, I also want to say ugly things in the front, if you are like a year ago, you raised so many pigs without asking me, if there is any more problems, I won't give you the aftermath." ”
Ni Qibo sneered: "If you do anything in the future, the little old man will definitely ask the lord first." ”
Wen nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved." ”
"Speaking of which, Xiao Lao'er really has one thing to ask you, sir........" Ni Qibo hesitated.
"Oh, tell me, what's the matter?" Wen wondered.
"After the year, the villagers want to build another greenhouse for each family, what do you think, sir?" Ni Qibo said.
After planting a season of greenhouses, the villagers, they can be regarded as tasting the sweetness, although it is more tiring than farming, but the harvest is more than ten times higher than farming. It's just that if you want to build a greenhouse, you must get the consent of Wen. After all, they are only tenants now, and the fields in Guanlou Village are still under Wen's name.
Wen shook his head helplessly and said: "Uncle Qi, it's not that I won't let you build it, think about it, years ago, you raised pigs, and in the end you couldn't sell them, right?"
Now that the Beijing division is near, who doesn't know that the greenhouse is very profitable, I dare to say that there will be many villages that will build greenhouses next year. After all, you can learn this thing just by looking at it.
Don't you see that every day, there are a lot of idlers going around our greenhouse! That's where they came to steal the teacher.
When there are more vegetables sold next year, it will not be very profitable. ”
"Ahh These thieves and prisoners! Ni Qibo was angry and said in frustration: "Hey, it's all the little old man who is not good to take care of!" ”
Wen smiled bitterly and comforted: "It's nothing to be learned by them." Didn't I say just now that we are going to build a lot of construction in the next year, but we don't have time to build any greenhouses. ”
"Oh, I don't know if I can take the liberty of asking, what does the lord plan to build after the year?" Ni Qibo wondered.
"Build a house."
Ni Qibo frowned and said, "Presumably, the mansion that the lord wants to build must be the one where Zheng Zhutou lives, right?" ”
Wen gave a thumbs up and said, "Seven uncles are high." ”
"If you build some simple houses, the villagers can still help, but that kind of house ........" Ni Qibo sighed: "It's not that the villagers don't want to help the lord, I'm afraid that those of us who can't read big characters can't help the lord." ”
Wen smiled and said: "Build a house, of course I will invite a special craftsman." However, the greening around the house will bother the villagers. ”
"Greenery?" This was the first time Ni Qibo had heard this term, and he couldn't figure out what it meant, so he had to repeat it. I hope I can explain it.
"It's just planting some flowers and plants, and some trees and the like, you must be very good at this."
"Planting flowers? Planting trees? Ni Qibo grinned.
Wen nodded and said: "Yes, in the spring after the year, we will start planting, and strive to plant all the idle places." ”
"Then we're not farming?" Ni Qibo smacked his lips and said.
Hearing this, he was surprised: "Sir, I haven't sent you hundreds of catties of grain from every household, which is enough for you to eat for more than half a year, what kind of land do you plant?" ”
"........" Ni Qibo suddenly felt dizzy. Sure enough! I know that there will be nothing good for these nobles to suddenly have a good heart. For generations, the peasants who faced the loess with their backs to the sky did not farm, but planted flowers and plants.
It's about forgetting your roots! There will be retribution.
