Chapter 31: Change

Liu Yiyi chuckled in his heart, from the news that he would be able to heal the intestines, he expected that Wang Xiancheng would definitely find him. After all, it is impossible for officials not to intervene in such a plague-like disease.

It's just that he didn't expect it to be so soon, he just made money for two cows.

"Back to the adult's words, there is indeed such a thing, an ancestral home remedy, and there are some curative effects." Liu Yiyi replied respectfully, thinking about how to deal with this matter.

"Oh? Is there a cured case? Wang Zhihong motioned for Liu Yiyi and Liu Ertiao to sit down, and asked, hoping that Liu Yiyi could bring him a surprise. In the past two days, he has been tormented by this intestinal disease to the point that he is going crazy. The county's cattle have been sick on a large scale, and several have died so far, and if they are not controlled in time, the consequences will be quite serious. It will also have a great impact on agricultural production after the beginning of spring.

Liu Yiyi replied: "Together with the ploughing cattle in the small people's homes, three ploughing cattle have recovered. Now there are three heads in the family waiting for treatment. ”

"Really?!" Wang Zhihong stood up again, which is good news. For the first time in a few days, I heard the news of a healed cattle. He looked at Liu Yiyi and said, "Little Brother Liu has this recipe, why didn't you say it earlier?" Now hundreds of cultivated cattle in the entire Sanyuan County have been infected with the disease, and the news that the cultivated cattle are dying of disease every day is really heart-wrenching. Since Brother Liu has this good recipe, I don't know if he is willing to come up with it to save the people of Sanyuan? ”

"Want an empty glove white wolf?" Liu Yiyi despised Wang Zhihong in his heart, and said: "Lord Wang is reasonable, but this party is passed down by the ancestors, if it is announced, I am afraid it is..."

Knowing that Liu Yiyi would not be so happy, Wang Zhihong simply offered the bid directly, and said: "This official knows that this is difficult for some strong people, but the people are suffering, so it is also unavoidable." In this way, how about this official on behalf of the government to give out thirty acres of Yongye land in exchange for Brother Liu's prescription? Thinking about this, the ancestors of the Liu family knew and would not blame it anymore. ”

"Thirty?!" Liu Yiyi was taken aback, how did this Wang Zhihong become so generous? 3,000 acres (equivalent to modern measurement methods, about 300 acres) can be passed on to the descendants of Yongye Tian, and it will be sent out with one mouth. Is the land of this era so worthless?

When Wang Zhihong saw Liu Yiyi's expression, he thought that he was too little, so he raised the price and said: "If Brother Liu agrees, the government can also send ten more ploughing cattle as a reward." If it still doesn't work, then forget it, the official will think of some other way. ”

"Something else?" Wang Zhihong's meaning Liu Yiyi has already heard and understood, sweet dates are followed by a stick, if you don't eat sweet dates, then I will serve with a stick, whether to take or sacrifice and weigh myself.

However, the temptation of this sweet jujube given by Wang Zhihong to Liu Yiyi is quite large, and he has always wanted to make more money, isn't that all? Thirty acres of land, ten ploughing oxen, which was much more than he had expected.

Moreover, the home remedies he used to cure cattle diseases were too simple and simple to be discovered. Although he has disguised himself when buying raw materials, it is inevitable that people will find out after a long time. Instead of this, it is better to sell a favor with Wang Zhihong now. If you get things and people's favors, why not?

Liu Yiyi stood up, bowed to Wang Zhihong and said, "In this way, for the sake of the people of Sanyuan, Yiyi is willing to offer a prescription to help the people of the county survive this disaster." ”

"Good!" Wang Zhihong was overjoyed, and did not forget to promise Liu Yiyi's benefits, and said: "I will send someone to divide the land and ploughing cattle with you tomorrow, rest assured, although the land granted now is wasteland, I guarantee that these lands will be fertile land after they are opened." ”

"Thank you, Lord for your care!" Liu Yiyi opened his mouth and said: "Please prepare some pen, ink and paper for the little people, and the little people will write out the prescription and present it to the adults." ”

A mutually beneficial deal was done. Liu Yiyi exchanged for 30 acres of Yongye field and 10 ploughing cattle. Wang Zhihong took advantage of the court's policy of encouraging farming in exchange for a prescription for curing the intestines of cultivated cattle. The two of them take what they need, and they work together happily.

It was almost noon, and Yanagi Ichichi and Yanagi Erjo got up to say goodbye. Wang Zhihong also urgently needed to stock up on garlic and spirits to arrange disaster relief, but did not say anything to keep them.

On the way back, Liu Yiyi passed by Liu Ertiao to know why Wang Zhihong would be so generous to Tian and cattle. It turns out that although it is now a famous Zhenguan period in history, the economy of Datang is far from being as prosperous as he imagined. A few years after the end of the war in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and a large number of young and middle-aged people died in the war, and a large amount of land was deserted. The last thing the country lacks is land, and what is lacking is farmers who are willing to cultivate and cultivate the land.

Wang Zhihongken gave him so much land, mostly just to have more taxes. However, he was willing to give ten ploughing oxen, which is considered to be a matter of conscience.

When he got home, he saw that Liu Laoshi was cleaning and wanted to clear out more space, so Liu Yiyi said, "Dad, you rest for a while, you don't have to be so busy anymore." From now on, our family will no longer accept sick cows, and now we just need to heal the existing three cows. ”

"Why?" Lao Liu was surprised.

"The eldest brother who cured the disease sent it to Wang Xiancheng, and returned with thirty hectares of wasteland and ten ploughing cattle. Therefore, from tomorrow, the county government will start to heal everyone for free or for a small amount of money. Yanagi replied for Yanagiichi.

"Thirty acres of land and ten ploughing oxen?" Liu Laoshi stopped his movements, and when he saw Liu Yiyi nodding in acknowledgement, he said with some hesitation: "I'm afraid we can't plant so much land, right?" If you don't pay your taxes, it's a hassle. ”

Sending the prescription out, Liu Laoshi had no objection, Liu Yiyi did things, he was very relieved. It's just that 30 hectares of land seems to be a bit much, and the original 120 acres of all the family is already a little difficult to plant, how to plant 30 hectares?

How can anyone think that they have more fields? Liu Yiyi shook his head, are there any landlords who don't want to be landlords? He shrugged his shoulders and said to Liu honestly fearlessly: "Dad, you don't have to worry about this, as long as there is land, someone will always come to plant." After the New Year, I will recruit some people. As for taxes, there is no tax in the first year of land reclamation. ”

"Well, that's good. If you have a plan in your heart, you will be eighteen years old after the New Year, and you will have your own land, and you will have to make your own decisions about everything. Liu said honestly: "Others like you have already started a family and set up their own doors." If our family hadn't been too poor before, we would have married you two years ago. But it's not too late, after the New Year, I will definitely ask the matchmaker to tell you a daughter-in-law! ”

Liu's honest attitude is very resolute, the so-called unfilial piety has three, and no queen is great. Not finding a daughter-in-law for Liu Yiyi has always been a problem for him. In the past, it was okay if the family had no money, but now that life is comfortable, the matter of finding a daughter-in-law and children cannot be delayed any longer. Seeing that everyone else had grandchildren hugging him, Lao Liu was also very red-eyed.
