"Actually...... I don't think the fourth brother wants this gold, it's just ......"

Jia Gouzi pointed to Guan Tian and the others who were busy, and his words were very vague, not intentionally, and he didn't think much about it himself.

Li Xian secretly praised that among the orphans, this Jia Gouzi's brain is the most awake, and his surname is also calm, and he should be able to take on a big role in the future. He only needed to kick the door to kick Li Xi's intentions.

There is gold in the front and back mountains of Cockscomb Mountain, but the total number is not too much, in terms of value, it is not even as much as the money he made from the start-up business in his plan, this career, Wu Yaluo has climbed out of the most important link in the technology tree before.

But gold is so burning, in the current Kangxi Dynasty, ten taels of gold is not worth a hundred taels of silver [1], if people want to start without thinking, the vast majority of people will choose the former.

It is not difficult to make the villagers rich, but it is difficult to make the villagers rich and willing to fight to protect this wealth, or even rebel with him. Grass people and grass people, the wind will fall, there is a constant production of perseverance, in this Confucianism soaked in silver for thousands of years in the Chinese land, it is not very applicable, because this constant production is always not constant. The general bottom line in the hearts of grass people is just a small life.

But there's always something that can penetrate that line, and that's ...... Gold.

Patting Jia Gouzi on the shoulder, Li Xian said in a deep voice: "People's hearts will seek profit, why should they go against their hearts?" The important thing is to keep the right path of gain! If it's yours, then you have to ask for it! ”

The boys' share must be given, and theirs is Li Shi's.

The faces of all the boys also bloomed with joy, as Li Xi said, who wouldn't want gold?

After the end of the day, everyone had to go down the mountain, and if it was too late, with their current ability to climb the mountain, they would be trapped in the mountain.

All the way to the stream and the river endlessly, to the bottom of the mountain, there is a small river leading to the Tianxin River, the traffic is quite convenient, but both sides of the river are all primitive jungle, although the population of the Kangxi Dynasty is increasing, Guangdong is more people and less fields, but such a reckless land also abounds, after all, there will be no large machinery, you can bulldoze a large area of jungle casually.

Seeing that he was about to reach the bottom of the mountain, Tian Dayou suddenly shouted: "There is an iron mine on that mountain!" ”

Li Xian's heart was shocked, good! That's great!

Following the direction pointed by Tian Dayou, he hurried over, wanting to see what was going on, but he didn't want to have a sharp pain under his feet, and with a bang, the whole person fell to the ground.

"I'm afraid that this grass thorn is poisonous, it's best to find a doctor."

In Fengtian Village, Li Shi's original hut has been expanded into a small courtyard, and in a brick house in the innermost, Li Xi is lying on the bed, his feet are hanging high, and Cai Langzhong has just wrapped him in medicine, and he is still shaking his head very uneasily. Relying on the health and epidemic prevention work of the mine before, Cai Langzhong had already made a small fortune, and before Li Xianyan asked him to serve as the resident doctor of the mine, he was full of promises, and he was abducted to Fengtian Village.

Send three houses to settle the family, the usual practice of five taels a month, and charge some medical fees for visiting the clinic, what are the big actions, such as the epidemic prevention of the village mines, and pay the hardship fee, which he didn't dare to think about before. Even Li Shi asked him to prepare to start training some assistants, and give extra money, which made Cai Langzhong even more happy, this is to make him a gentleman......

These treatments were all given by Li Shi, so when he learned that Li Shi had injured his foot, Cai Langzhong put up twelve points of his heart to serve Li Shi, for fear that something would go wrong with this little financier.

With this distraction, he was very worried about his little craftsmanship, so he naturally mentioned the golden bell. While in the mine, the two doctors came into contact. Although there is a medical department and a surgery, the academics are different, but there is a common language in the matter of epidemic prevention, and Cai Langzhong, who is used to contact with the injured, is not very taboo, and he has learned a lot of things from Pan Jinling, and he respects this very young female doctor very much.

"Besides, I shouldn't be so unlucky that I can still step on something like Broken Intestine Grass."

Li Xian's face was depressed, Cai Langzhong's words didn't pay much attention, he was depressed in his stomach, his foot stepped on the bushes, and his foot wearing only straw sandals was suddenly scarred, is this God felt that he was too smooth this time, so he gave him a small punishment?

It was an ordinary grass thorn, and when he heard Li Xian's words, Cai Langzhong didn't say much, seeing that he looked disgusted, and there was an existence beside him that exuded a cold aura, he quickly left with interest.

"Silly girl, but you said it casually, and you still hold a grudge against me?"

Li Shi also felt this chill, looked over helplessly, and comforted Wen Yan.

That's Guan Xuan, the little girl has changed her outfit, and she is no longer so stumbling and casual. A light red gown and a light blue butterfly pleated skirt, and a long hair with only a slanted ponytail tied with a grass ring, which is fresh and refreshing, and adds a bit of delicateness. But this little girl was pouting, with tears in her eyes, and was looking at Li Shi obliquely by the bedside, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"The fourth brother is right, I'm just useless, I only know how to cry, and I can't even bandage the fourth brother...... Woohoo......"

The little girl tugged at the mat beside the bed, and the tears could no longer be stopped, and they spurted out.

Li Xi laughed instead, and before he could see it, this little girl's heart was not very big. He was carried into the house before, and with a kick of blood, Guan Xuan's face was already pale. She cleaned Li Xi while crying, and kept touching the wound, so Li Xi finally opened her mouth to forgive, saying that in addition to crying, can she do more things, such as lightening her hands, which will hurt the little girl's heart.

Then as soon as Cai Langzhong came, he couldn't help but tear off Guan Xuan's miserable bandage, and said hatefully whose bad craftsmanship it was, which stabbed the hornet's nest, and the little girl could endure it until now, and the amount was enough.

"My Guan Xuan is useless......"

Li Xi spoke, and the little girl was stunned for a moment, crying even louder.

"But as long as she learns something, she will definitely be better than others."

Li Xian's words are really not praise, before teaching mathematics to Jia Gouzi Wu Shishi, Guan Xuan, who was listening to miscellaneous things, also learned it, and later took the exam, and was actually Guan Xuan's first, full score! Although it is only four operations within the thousand digits of Arabic numerals, Ke Guan's IQ is obviously one line higher than that of others. Li Xi had the heart to give her a promotion and teach her algebraic equations or something, but later felt that it was really not interesting to teach a female mathematician, so he gave up.

"Fourth brother...... Do you want me to ...... Do you want to study medicine? ”

The crying became quieter, and gradually turned into sobbing, Guan Xuan asked.

"That's not what you mean, it's what you want to learn."

Li Xian stretched out his arms, and Guan Xuan obediently leaned on the edge of the bed, shrinking into the crook of his arm. It has been more than half a month since she was sent to Li Shi's house by her family, and Guan Tian's explanation was just one sentence: "Listen to your fourth brother, do whatever you want you to do", and these words mean nothing to her, she thinks so in her heart.

came to Li Shi as a child daughter-in-law, but what she actually did was a maid's job. Li Xi was empty and empty, originally living a very typical bachelor life, Guan Xuan came as a member of the family instead of the previous sister-in-law, which suddenly made Li Shi's words start to become tired, at least someone served tea and water, dressed and hammered the waist, picked up the lamp to collect books, and laundry and cooking, Li Xi was reluctant to let the little girl do it, most of the time it was Guan Tian's Zhang Luo.

Li Xian's words made Guan Xuan's thin and curved eyebrows wrinkle, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head sadly: "I just want to learn the knowledge that can help the fourth brother, but what I learned was taught to me by the fourth brother, what can I do?" ”

yes, that's a headache. Such a smart little girl, if she doesn't learn some university questions, she is really a tyrannical thing...... But the key to what to learn is that she has to be interested.

Smelling the fresh body fragrance of the little girl mixed with a little grass, Li Xian's heart relaxed, and suddenly felt that he was too anxious, Guan Xuan was still young, why should she set the direction now? Let's take our time...... It's like...... It's the same.

That's ...... Li Xi is not a saint, of course he thought about it, but Guan Xuan is too young at this age, and he only occasionally flashes that kind of thought, and he doesn't pay much attention to it. There is no evil thought in this small body that will hug Guan Xuan, and Guan Xuan also sleeps in her room. Even when Guan Xuan said that he wanted to warm Li Xi's bed in winter, he resolutely refused, although he regretted it a little afterwards......

"Whatever you want to learn, don't learn that cat meow."

Li Yan pinched Guan Xuan's smooth and tender jaw, and the little girl blushed, and warned herself in her heart not to cry in the future.

was enjoying this warmth, the door of the house was suddenly knocked gently, Guan Xuan got out of bed and opened the door, but it was Tian Dayu.

"Fourth brother, I roughly probed everyone's mind......"

Sitting on the chair brought by Guan Xuan, Tian Dayou originally wanted to shut up, but seeing Guan Xuanzheng's wide eyes and staring at him curiously, he smiled to himself, and the string in his heart that kept the secret of gold loosened. Guan Er is not an outsider, so there is no need for him to hide it.

"Before, the fourth brother had to come back the land deed that everyone pawned to Zhong Shangwei, and now those people are thinking about selling it again, at this time, if you want to talk about moving the village, it is estimated that everyone is not very concerned, unless you say it directly. But at that time, if anyone is not in harmony with everyone, things will be in trouble......"

Hearing this, Li Xian's heart was shocked, the people who got the land accounted for most of the whole village, and they all wanted to sell it, why is this? He asked for the return of the deed from Zhong Shangwei, and also compensated some silver to the other villagers who did not benefit from this matter, so as to return the villagers to a clean and innocent family background, so as to follow his next plan, and now this movement has made his mind all in vain.

Anger rises in my heart, what the hell are these grass people spinning in their heads!?

"Uncle Tian, can you tell me what they are trying to do?"

Barely suppressing his anger, Li Xian opened his mouth and asked, judging from his previous experience, maybe there was something he didn't understand.

"Figure what? Isn't it for profit......"

Tian Daiyu sighed.

"Fourth brother, you don't touch farming much, of course you don't know, this field is the lifeblood of the farmer's family, but things are not as simple as a field word."

[1: The price of gold and silver was about 1:6 to 1:8 in the early Qing Dynasty, and it was still below 1:10 at the beginning of the eighteenth century, and it only climbed to more than 10 in the middle of the century. 】
