Things are messed up, what else can Chao Gai say.

Li Kui was not happy, and said: "If you catch someone, you can still catch it, what is the use of the sea fishing paperwork, and where to find it in which mountain." ”

Chao Gai said: "As long as the matter is clear, you continue to arrest people, we are busy." ”

Chao Gai did not delay in the county, Yishui County is quite backward, this area of mountains is connected with mountains, mountains are connected with mountains, there are mountains of all sizes, the cultivated land area is small, especially the real village is located in the middle of the mountainside, the common people take pickaxes to reclaim the land is not even a foot deep, so the land is not drought resistant at all, the wheat planted in autumn is only a foot high when it is harvested next year, the yield per mu is more than 100 catties, and then the imperial grain is handed over, there is nothing left at all, the ordinary people here are basically in a state of hunger all year round.

But since last year, the situation has improved, Chaojia seed firm here to promote Tianwang rice and peanuts, these two crops are very good drought resistance, Tianwang rice mu production capacity of seven or eight hundred catties, peanut mu yield can also be more than 400 catties. After all, the land here is barren, and there is no irrigation, plus there are no pesticides and fertilizers, it is good to have such a yield.

The place where the group is going this time is called Watershed Town, which is actually a large village, and the nearby villages are centered here, and they come here every five days to trade agricultural products.

Before he got to the place, someone noticed that Chao Gai was coming, and shouted: "Chao Shopkeeper is here." ”

Some also said: "Chao Yuan is here." ”

Chao Gai greeted them one by one, and when they arrived in the town, there were two or three hundred people who spontaneously welcomed them, and the people here were very simple, and although they said that they were selling them seeds, they were still very grateful.

There is a respected old man in the town, named Liu Laoer, who is the village chief of the town. Seeing Chao Gai coming, he hurriedly invited Chao Gai and others into the house.

Liu Lao Er said: "Chao Tuanlian, the seeds recommended by your firm are really good seeds, and the blind date who didn't buy seeds last year has regretted their intestines this year." Tianwang rice and peanuts are very suitable for mountain growth, Tianwang rice yield is high, although the yield of peanuts is low but the use is large, can be squeezed oil, can be sold for money, the purchase price of peanuts is four or five times that of rice, the villagers are thinking about increasing the planting area of peanuts. ”

"The price of peanuts is high because they are still scarce, and scarce is expensive, so we must not blindly expand the planting area. I'm here to talk to you about how to develop the barren mountains nearby. Chao Gai said.

Liu Lao Er said: "There are too many barren mountains nearby, and there are several barren mountains in every village, and some have begun to plant honeysuckle, but most people are still waiting." ”

Chao Gai nodded and said, "It is too laborious to transform farmland from barren mountains, and it is easy to cause soil erosion, so I plan to build a medicinal herb base from here." In addition to honeysuckle, let everyone plant some salvia, forsythia, kudzu, fine spice, etc. ”

Liu Lao Er said: "There are a few herb pickers in the village, and there are wild salvia, kudzu, and fine spice on the mountain, so it is better to collect it directly." ”

"Not enough, a lot of it. Yuncheng County wants low-cost medical treatment, and taking medicine is basically the cost, so the dosage is also large. I also brought three herb pickers, and I also planted salvia and kudzu herbs. They said that these medicinal herbs can be widely planted on our mountain, and an acre of barren mountain can even top an acre of good land. ”

Everyone was surprised, and Liu Lao Er exclaimed: "I have never heard of a low-cost doctor, and any pharmacy that does not sell medicine is expensive and not called a pharmacy." This is great, if only we implemented this in Yishui County. ”

Chao Gai said: "At present, I can't control Yishui, but all farmers who sign a medicinal herb planting contract with our firm can also enjoy this treatment, I will open a pharmacy in Yishui County, but it is not open to the public, only for contract households." ”

Liu Lao Er don't look old, but he is not confused, and he is also very cautious, and he brought several old medicine pickers in the village, and the people brought by Chao Gai to demonstrate the feasibility of planting these medicinal materials, discussed for a morning and felt that it was very feasible, and immediately signed a contract with Chaojia Commercial Bank for planting medicinal materials, and the commercial bank should provide technical support, and be responsible for recovering medicinal materials, and the villagers are responsible for planting, management, and so on.

Chao Gai talked about the Wangjia nursery in the river basin town and Baiyan Town, mainly to explain the planting technology hand-in-hand, the planting of medicinal materials in the Great Song Dynasty is still a strange thing, although it is not difficult to plant, but there are too few people to plant, the common people always have a skeptical attitude towards this, of course, there are still many enlightened people like Liu Lao Er and the Wang family. In the words of the Wang family, medicinal herbs can grow well in the wild, let alone planted.

Li Kui scratched his head and said, "Brother, let us plant some medicinal herbs in Baizhang Village." ”

Li Kui's hometown Chao Gai has been there, surrounded by mountain cliffs, with few land and many mountains. Chao Gai said: "What's wrong with this, your village will plant thistle, it is easy to manage, easy to plant, let the shopkeeper of the commercial bank sign a contract for those who are willing to plant, and pay part of the money to the farmers first." ”

Li Kui said: "My brother is really righteous. ”

Chao Gai didn't plan to go to Baizhang Village, so let Li Kui take Luo Yun and fifty cavalrymen, and then go back to the village with the people from the medicinal herb purchasing firm, of course, Luo Yun had to play the role of Li Kui's subordinates.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the village, Li Kui turned back to the cavalry and said, "What, this is my village, give me some spiritual points." ”

Chao Gai's pro-guard cavalry are all very spiritual, not only good looking, but also good in combat.

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

Li Kui looked at Luo Yun again and said, "Luo Yun, you can act like a little bit, and I will invite you to drink when I go back." ”

Luo Yun said: "Battalion Commander Li, don't worry, your level is already higher than mine, not to mention that my brother said that from now on we will obey your orders." ”

"Good, good, good." Li Kui said.

Li Kui rode a big horse with a smile and walked slowly towards the village. Baizhang Village was originally a remote village, and later Li Kui and Li Da brothers went to Yuncheng on an errand, and successively recruited some strong men from the village, and because of the relationship between the two brothers, the firm also took good care of the village, and Tianwang rice and peanut seeds were sold to the village first, so the village gradually improved, and you can also see the villagers driving ox carts and riding donkeys.

Before Li Kui arrived in the village, a middle-aged uncle saw Li Kui.

"This, is this an iron bull?" Uncle asked.

"It's me, I'm an iron bull, uncle, this is the ground." Li Kui said.

"Oh, Tie Niu," the uncle didn't know what to say when he saw Li Kui so mighty, dressed as a general.

Next to him, Luo Yun said: "This is our Battalion Commander Li." ”

The uncle said, "Camp Commander Li is going home to visit relatives." ”

Li Kui jumped off his horse and said, "The battalion commander is not the battalion commander, he is just called that, he manages hundreds of soldiers." Uncle, you still call me Tie Niu, I came back this time to see everyone, and more importantly, I brought you a new project, so that everyone can plant medicinal herbs and make use of the barren mountains. ”

The uncle was very surprised, out of trust in peanuts and Tianwang rice, the uncle said: "Okay, I'll go back and shout to the villagers." ”

After saying that, the uncle ran fast and shouted when he arrived in the village.

When Li Kui and the others arrived, everyone had already gathered hundreds at the entrance of the village, and Li Kui didn't hold it up, tied the horses to the side, and greeted the big guys. After the shabby, the middle-aged uncle said: "Tie Niu, what kind of project did you just say to bring a new project to our village?" ”

Tie Niu said: "Good project, planting weeds can make money, what kind of weeds, it's a big thistle, and what kind of melon." Whoever has a barren mountain or the front and back of the house can plant it. ”

The village exploded, and some said: "This must work, the Chao family business house spits on a nail, saying that the yield of Tianwang rice per mu is seven or eight hundred catties, and there is that yield, saying that peanuts are delicious, then they are delicious, whose peanuts are not profitable this year." ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, Tie Niu, why do you make us listen to you."

Of course, there are also a few cautious people who ask: "Big thistle and melon are all common things, what's the use of planting them?" ”

Li Kui said: "I don't know about this, anyway, my brother said that it is useful and useful." ”

The shopkeeper of the accompanying trading house, seeing that Li Kui couldn't get off the stage, came out and said: "Camp Chief Li is right, although the thistle is a very common weed, he harvested it and dried it when it bloomed in spring and summer, and it can be used as a medicinal herb. The roots and fruits of melons are also herbs, so they are useful, don't worry about this, folks, let's sign a planting contract. ”

The villagers often go to sell mountain goods, so they naturally believe in the credit of the Chao family's commercial bank, and immediately began to negotiate. The main thing is that there is no risk in this matter, you don't need to spend a penny on the barren mountains and mountains on the mountains, and there are people who buy them after planting, even if the price is cheaper, as long as there is some to earn.

As for how to negotiate, it is a matter for the firm, Li Kui does not participate in those things, there are old men in the village who are virtuous and prepare wine and food for the team, so that Li Kui sternly refused, and the team does not disturb the people, which is basic.

The old man said, "They are all young people, so we can't let them go hungry." ”

Li Kui said: "I will go back to my hometown to visit relatives this time, and this brother and I will have dinner at your house, as for the cavalry team, they will stay outside the village, they will bring their own dry food, buy some chickens and ducks from the village, and supplement the food for everyone." ”

The old man shook his head and sighed, "What kind of team does this have to be, train the iron bull so obediently." ”

Tie Niu smiled, and Luo Yun next to him was embarrassed to laugh, it seemed that Li Kui had made a lot of trouble before.

It is relatively slow to buy banquets in rural areas, of course, Li Kui will not let them work in vain, and use money to buy a pig, which is more expensive than sheep in these years. Taking advantage of the efforts to set up a banquet, Li Kui took Luo Yun into the mountain, took wine, snacks or something, and went to the grave of Li Kui's father.

Luo Yun didn't want to stay by the side of this matter, and waited behind him dozens of meters away. Li Kuitie is a man, usually giggling, but when he arrived at his father's grave, he cried like a tearful man, and he cried for a long time before getting up.

Li Kui came back and said to Luo Yun: "Do you feel that I am deliberately showing off and pretending to be bullish." ”
