Since the scale pole Liu Village is mentioned, the story starts here, the scale pole Liu Village is actually a very inconspicuous small village, so small that even the child can go from the east to the west with a soak in urine, but this small village is famous far and wide, that is because the villagers here will be a kind of scale craft, the villagers make a living by making scales, the village is always filled with an iron smell, that is the villagers in the sand casting, the wooden rod scale produced here is delicate, accurate and durable, has formed the "scale rod Liu" brand, It can be said that the wooden pole scales circulating in the market are produced here, this craft also makes the villagers' money bags bulge early, and the scale rod Liu Village has become a well-known rich village. Girls in villages within a radius of ten miles and eight miles are looking for their in-laws, and they are naturally the first choice for Liu Village, because once they get married, they will become craftsmen that everyone envies, and they don't have to face the loess with their backs to the sky in the future; The girls in this village are even more popular, the boys in the other villages will be "ill-intentioned" to travel back and forth in Liu Village, sniffing like a dog, whose girls should find their mother-in-law's house, there are often boys of all shapes and colors staying at the door, if you are lucky enough to be photographed by a girl, then you will be able to eat and drink spicy food in this life, where to find a daughter-in-law who can make a lot of money as soon as you enter the door? Marrying a daughter-in-law can support a family, and the family's economy can advance for at least ten years.

In those years, Liu Village loved to show movies, there was a collective factory in the village, and there was money, what was it to act in a few movies? What makes people feel that the fly in the ointment is that the village has to fight eight times when there are ten movies, all of which are caused by the jealousy of young people from other villages, and most of the people who come to watch the movie are people from other villages, and they all want to be related to Liu Lian, but the wolf has more meat and less meat, and only let the fist speak, so the blood is splashed, and the movie only ends early, and the village has to organize the militia to carry the spear with the bayonet to maintain order, which is stable for a while. Who made the girls in the village so popular? It's no wonder that the villagers of the scale pole Liu were born to make scales, and even the children in the village seem to be stained with aura. Liu Banxian from the village said: That's because the feng shui of the village is good, and the two dragon veins just wrap the village, like a cornucopia. The dragon veins that Liu Banxian said are actually two highways, one leads to the county seat and the other leads to the provincial capital, and the two highways have a fork in the east of the village, and this fork forks the good feng shui of the village. Although what Liu Banxian said sounds a little unrelated, the villagers agree with this statement, not to mention anything else, it doesn't take half an hour from here to the county seat, and you can play a round trip a day to the provincial capital, which is convenient, who can say that it is not stained with the light of feng shui?

At that time, the big collective was catching up with the movement of cutting the tail of capitalism and overthrowing the capitalist roaders, and making scales was definitely capitalism, and Liu Village undoubtedly became a key rectification village, and the county revolutionary committee specially sent a team to stay in the village, first holding a mobilization meeting, and the loudspeakers in the village shouted every day, letting people know the dangers of capitalism, and encouraging the villagers to automatically hand over the tools for making scales, and later began to investigate one by one, and all the tools used to make scales were confiscated. The confiscated materials and tools for making wooden pole scales were piled up at the intersection of the main street, piled up like a hill, poured with foreign oil and lit it, and then the smoke billowed and burned for several days, and a layer of smoke was shrouded in the sky over the village, and it was only after half a month that it dissipated. People watched the fire devour their wealth, and after the fire was extinguished, their hearts were also cold, and from then on, they lost the skills they relied on to survive, and the villagers of Weighing Pole Liu were forced to pout their butts and dig food from the soil like the villagers in other villages, and life naturally became hard.

When the national policy began to open up and invigorate for a while, the villagers were scared, no one dared to make scales blatantly, but Sun Laifu in the west of the village was bold, and even made a few wooden pole scales to sell in the market, hey, no one cared, the commune also praised Sun Laifu's behavior through the loudspeaker, which can mobilize the emotions of the villagers, as if overnight, the villagers turned out the tools that had been hidden for many years to make scales and restarted the old business, the villagers cut off the rod, turned the sand and turned the sand, and worked in full swing. The long-lost noise spread several miles away, and some people flocked to all parts of the country with tools on their backs. There is a collective sideline factory in the village, specializing in cutting wood scrapers, turning sand and casting stones, to provide a supply of goods for the villagers, at that time, the machines of the sideline factory roared every day, the big cars and small cars lined up on the street waiting to pull the goods, the products were continuously transported to all parts of the country, a lot of banknotes were loaded into the pockets of the villagers, only seven or eight years, every household in the village lived in the tile house, with the "three major pieces", and the scale rod Liu Village became a well-known "10,000 households" village.

In the mid-eighties, villager Liu Erbao dug an ancient tomb when he built a house and dug the foundation, dug out a pile of rotten wood, it looks like a wooden pole scale, I heard that there are a lot of gold ingots, people within a radius of 100 miles come to see rare, the news reached the county, the county suddenly sent the public security to put martial law here, saying that it is to protect cultural relics, after reporting to the province, the province specially sent a group of experts to conduct field investigations, and dozens of cars came alone, after expert identification: this is the tomb of a Song Dynasty giant, you don't underestimate the pile of rotten wood, It is all cultural relics, and all indications indicate that as early as the Song Dynasty, it was a national weighing instrument trade center. So, the clever villagers took advantage of this to make a big fuss, set up a stage on the day of the second temple fair in February, sang the drama for ten days in a row, and hung up the signboard of "the hometown of national weighing instruments".
