With both hands, he pushed Xiao You, who was constantly trying to climb up with his paws, looked at the paw prints left on the hem of his clothes, and slapped his black head angrily. Are you almost older than a wolfdog and want to sleep on your lap and break his poor bones?

"Ahem!"

Hearing this obviously reminder cough, Luo Yun finally took his attention off Xiao Yu and looked at the people in the hall who were all looking at him. smiled embarrassedly, and gently kicked Xiao You's feet by tidying up the hem of his clothes, and when Xiao You was honest, he looked up slightly at the opposite Fang Liang in the serious eyes of the patriarch and the second uncle and said some of his 'get rich' plans.

"Well...... I'm also 'borrowing chickens to lay eggs', and this gives a total of 100 chickens to each family, and by next year I will get back 200 eggs. Hehe, of course, if Aunt Mei, Uncle Wu and Mu'er eat it on Luo Yun's face, this egg will not be eaten even if it stinks. Casually said a joke, seeing that several elders, especially the second uncle, had a smile on their faces, Luo Yun took a sip of tea soup with a little bitter taste, the weather was really hot, and he kept sweating while sitting in the house. He continued: "Our Lijia Village has a small population, and as long as there is no famine, the food produced in the fields is definitely enough for the whole village. And now we are starting to change the terraces and build the reservoirs, so as long as it is not a year of great disaster, the crops in the fields will be enough for us to eat. So...... Now that everyone is well fed, we should hope to dress better, live better, and eat better...... It's better. ”

Li Zhensheng nodded, and somewhat understood what Luo Yun meant: "Although the matter of changing the field and repairing the reservoir has just been prepared, what Luo Yun thinks can be regarded as a rainy day. However, although I know that you are not short of this money to buy chickens, I will give it to each family now...... Do you wait until the reservoir and fields are all done next year......?"

On the side, Li Zhencai listened to his brother's words, and felt that his own brother was really not like himself at all, and he only thought about buying and selling to make money after listening to Luo Yun's words. His brother thinks that each family eats better, which is really ...... The same rice raises two kinds of people.

"My brother still listened to Luo Yun, and he ...... I have other plans. Li Zhencai interrupted the patriarch's words, glanced at Luo Yun and motioned for him to continue, to the point.

Luo Yun smiled slightly, and also sighed in his heart that if his second uncle went out to be a magistrate, he should be a good official who loves the people like a son. Well, it's lucky to have such a patriarch. "What the third uncle said is true. In fact, Luo Yun is just planning everything for the better, if we repair the fields and build the reservoir this year. Needless to say, there will be a bumper harvest in the fields in the coming year, but with these new farming tools, it will greatly save the time for farming. People in each family will not stay at home when they have free time, and they will definitely go out to the mountains to find something to do to earn some subsidies. That's what I think about...... Instead of letting everyone go out and work hard to earn that little hard-earned money, it is better for our Li family to arrange some work for them by themselves, and we will naturally not treat these villagers badly when we make money. Luo Yun was also helpless, and said that the second uncle would definitely not agree to do business, so he could at least listen to it if he was so tactful.

The corners of his eyes secretly glanced at the expressions of the second uncle and the second grandfather, and sure enough, they were not dull people, and they understood the meaning of Luo Yun's words, and their eyebrows were furrowed a little. Can't wait for them to talk about the matter, thinking of this, Luo Yun hurriedly continued: "Actually, we have a lot of things in the mountains that can be exchanged for food, and Uncle Wu also told me that the prey and excess fur caught in the mountains will also be sold in the mountains. Dishes that can't be eaten will also be taken to the town early in the morning to sell while they are fresh. So I thought, why don't you find more things for everyone to do that can eat at home and can be sold for silk cloth and other things to supplement the family? ”

Luo Yun got up to add water to everyone, glanced at everyone's thoughtful expressions, and continued: "So, I bought so many chickens and distributed them. The ones I took back next year don't count, each family has these chickens, but they can use this year to earn more chickens or eggs. In addition to raising chickens, when the reservoir is built, I also plan to pick up fish, shrimp and lotus root leaves with sufficient water sources. Together, each family can have a good income every year, even if they don't sell it, the family can have a few more meat dishes a year. ”

Li Zhensheng listened to Luo Yun's words, frowned and thought for a while, then glanced at his younger brother who was full of excitement, guessed what this business-filled guy was thinking, looked at Luo Yun squarely and said: "Yun'er's idea is very good, let each family do some small business to supplement the family, and I have no objection." But there's a problem, Yun'er, you may not have thought about it."

Li Zhensheng got up and walked to the door, stretched out his hand and pointed out the mountain, and said with helplessness and regret: "Our way out of the mountain!" Our way out of the mountain is too difficult! We're too far from the county seat! Even if we go out with live fish and chickens, we can only sell them in the nearest Jiufeng Village. When we get to the county seat, the fish should stink and the food will rot...... Alas"

The second uncle's long sigh resonated with everyone in the house. There is helplessness in this, but there is no choice. Li Jiazhai will not move, and it is impossible to move. Not to mention the two old men, even when Luo Yun was born, it was during the war and chaos when Li Tang destroyed the Sui. Li Jiazhai chose such a place, and the Li family is brave and good at fighting, isn't it just to protect themselves?

What's more, it's not that they haven't gone out, it's not that they haven't had the opportunity to stay outside, but they still come back, back to this remote but peaceful mountain.

The atmosphere in the room was dull, even Luo Yun, who already had an idea...... In fact, I don't want to leave the cottage either. But life always has to get better, and you can get rich without going out of the mountains. Luo Yun pushed his cousin Cheng Lin and motioned for him to help his second uncle back. After the second uncle sat down again, Luo Yun added some water to the second uncle's cup before he spoke: "Of course I know that the mountain road is difficult to travel, and the county seat is too far. And if you just let each family go out and sell it on their own, I'm afraid most of them will only choose the nearby market. At that time, everyone will sell the same thing, but it will not be good, and I am afraid that it will be profitable. ”

Li Zhenan didn't speak from the moment he entered the house, but when he heard the words, he raised his head and interjected: "Yes, I had a quarrel with Uncle Chen outside with the two rammed goods and two leather goods from my uncle's family." Niang Xipi, there is no interest, so the merchant just gave Uncle Chen two more copper coins. ”

The two old men knew about this, and Luo Yun might not know about it. So Luo Yun didn't ask much, he knew that his second uncle had always been fair: "That's right, all families have suffered, and it is not easy to earn an extra copper coin." So I thought, rather than letting them sell it themselves and then being underpriced by the buyer. It's better that the Li family is in charge and collects all according to the market price outside. ”

"Collect it all?!" Everyone in the room looked at Luo Yun in unison. Waiting for his next.

There was too much verbosity, Luo Yun felt that it was almost enough, and was ready to go straight to the point: "I'm going to open a restaurant on the main road." ”

"If you say too much, Luo Yun won't say it clearly. Luo Yun can be regarded as having read a few books, and the principles of 'valuing agriculture and suppressing business' and 'people's hearts cannot pursue profits' point out the two grandfathers, and all the uncles and brothers also understand it. But Luo Yun wanted to say that what we have to do is not to violate these sage teachings, but to do our best to make life better. The third uncle has always wanted to do some business to make more money and improve the situation in the village. And I think that our Li family manages this village, and what we do is to hope that their lives will be better, regardless of whether they are clansmen or people with foreign surnames. Now that we have created the conditions to give them the threshold to a better life. Then we also have a responsibility to lead them on the right path, not a dead end in the pursuit of profit. Luo Yun paused, these words and these things were supposed to wait for him to slowly come to that point before he said them. But now that we've said that, let's move on to the rainy day.

"I support the third uncle to open a restaurant in the town outside near the official road."

Looking around, none of the brothers showed surprised expressions, and what reassured Luo Yun the most was that the two grandfathers and second uncles only raised their eyebrows and did not speak. Supported by this silence, Luo Yun perked up and continued: "Of course it's not right now. These plans were all taken step by step, with a bumper grain harvest and an increase in the number of chickens and fish in the village. The dishes and meat needed to run the restaurant can naturally be supplied by the village itself, and the restaurant makes a profit, and we make money, and we buy what the family wants to sell, and they also get benefits, and they don't need to go out and do that small business by themselves. I don't think this can be done much, but with the influence left by the ancestors of the Li family for generations, the whole village still respects the Li family. As long as future generations do not do anything bad to their neighbors, the business can continue forever. ”

After hearing this, Li Zhensheng and his father looked at each other and then looked at a few brothers, the third child naturally looked excited, and the fourth didn't seem to understand, Cheng Wu ...... Luo Yun will support whatever his family does. Looking at a few more nephews, Li Jian looked calm, and Cheng Lin was still thinking there with his head down, Li Kun and his son had the same temperament. Cheng Mu lowered his head and teased the little tiger without saying a word. 'Alas, there aren't many people in this family who can have ideas, like Luo Yun...... There is only the deceased sister-in-law, Luo Yun's mother. With a sigh of emotion in his heart, he looked up at Luo Yun: "I understand what you mean." But you want your third uncle to ......"

Seeing the second uncle's eyes glancing at the second grandfather, Luo Yun understood what he meant: "The third uncle has a talent for trading, which can be seen from selling Quyuan plows." But I've heard that the big families of the scholarly heirlooms are also in business, but none of their direct family members are merchants. The third uncle can do business and can talk about business with people, which is his ability. We need to sell things in the village, and we need to sell them at a good price. But this doesn't need the third uncle to be a pure businessman, just like the restaurant we planned, we can hire someone to do it as the shopkeeper, the running hall, and the chef. The third uncle only needs to give a guide in the business, our things are basically supplied by ourselves, the third uncle does not lose money, and a restaurant does not need to talk to others about business every day, so it can't be classified as a businessman. If the government really wants to investigate, we sign a treaty with the shopkeeper, which can be regarded as cooperation between the two sides, that is, we only supply some meat and vegetables, and our families are all farming, so we can't be regarded as businessmen. ”

Luo Yun's defense was also a little self-righteous, he hadn't read the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't know what a businessman was, but he knew that the farmer who sold some rice and chickens was definitely not a businessman. A peddler is a pawn, and doing a little business is far from a merchant. Go south and run north, buy east and sell west, and land shops, at least this is how you can be considered a businessman. Although running a restaurant is touched, it is enough to hire a businessman's shopkeeper. Anyway, Luo Yun's purpose is to sell the surplus output in the village. Obviously, everyone in the house, including the second uncle, also doesn't understand the law, or is really a businessman as Luo Yun said. Anyway, both grandfathers nodded.

"Let's just settle it first, everything will have to wait until next year." The second grandfather decided this matter in a word, glared at Li Zhencai, who was a little carried away, turned his head and continued: "Originally, I just asked, but I didn't expect Xiao Luoyun to think so far. Hehe, it's a windfall. Shake up, this put it in advance. Let's talk about what's in front of you."

Li Zhensheng nodded to his father and looked at everyone: "Now it will be the seventh day of the seventh month in two days." ”

At this time, Luo Yun was a little interested, how to look at this 'Qixi Festival' is also a woman's concern, what is worth taking to the clan meeting and deliberately saying. Look at the third uncle, Uncle Wu and cousin Li Huan, and of course, Mu'er, who is not attentive at all, the rest of the people are all serious, as if there is really something big.

I only heard the second uncle's deep voice and said slowly: "The preparations that should be prepared by each family are almost ready, this year's ......" The second uncle glanced at his son and several nephews with a serious face, "I plan to let the child go farther this year, and the man can set off tomorrow." If you can find the best one you like, it depends on each family...... Several of us are paying attention to it, whether it is a man or a woman, we are all interested in helping some, and there will always be a few this year. ”

Luo Yun was directly dumbfounded, and he didn't notice that the tea was dripping on his clothes, what did the second uncle mean by this? Men marrying women? Could it be that there will be a group blind date meeting on this Qixi Festival? There are always a few of them, and how to complete them is like a task target. What's the situation, does he want to go on a blind date? He didn't have any preparations, who could explain it to him?
