Chapter 36: Entrustment
Xiao Xin was obviously explaining the aftermath, Xiao Dapeng couldn't help but pounce and cry: "Grandpa......"
"Don't cry! cough ......" Xiao Xin's voice suddenly became louder, causing a violent cough, "Go, kowtow to your eldest brother Ziqiu three times, cough ......"
Xiao Xin mentioned Liu Ziqiu's name twice, and the surrounding villagers were not surprised, because just outside just now, Gao Xiuer had already told the truth. Of course, Liu Ziqiu concealed the most important paragraph. If he told others that he had crossed over and was not regarded as a demon, he didn't even dare to say anything about Gao Xiu'er.
Xiao Dapeng had already turned around and kowtowed to Liu Ziqiu. Liu Ziqiu hurriedly went to stop him, but heard Xiao Xin say, "Eldest brother...... As...... Parent ......"
When everyone looked at it again, Xiao Xin had closed his eyes forever......
Xiao Dapeng suddenly jumped up from the ground and said loudly: "Copy guys, follow me to the salt farm!" Find the Yang family to take revenge! ”
The villagers were outraged and responded. Suddenly, I heard Liu Ziqiu roaring: "Stop for me, no one is allowed to go!" ”
Xiao Dapeng was already red-eyed, and said sharply: "My grandfather's bones are not cold, if you don't take revenge, you will ......"
"Shut up! Have you forgotten your grandfather's explanation? Liu Ziqiu's tone softened a little, and said, "You are not taking revenge, you are going to die." ”
Only then did everyone think of the fierceness of the Yang family, and they couldn't help but hang their heads. Only Xiao Dapeng clenched his fists: "Won't this revenge be avenged?" ”
"I'll take care of the revenge." Liu Ziqiu directly ordered, "Uncle Li, please help Dapeng take care of the second uncle's funeral." The others will rest early when they are done, and those who should go to work in the salt works tomorrow will go to work as usual. ”
When he came back this time, Liu Ziqiu originally planned to say goodbye to the villagers after clarifying the doubts in his heart, so he would no longer bear the identity of a big bull. But since Xiao Xin entrusted Xiao Dapeng and Changshan Village to him, he had to take responsibility.
The bolt suddenly remembered: "Why didn't the people from the salt field come to urge us today?" ”
According to the situation of the previous two days, the people of the salt works should have arrived an hour ago, but now they are nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Dapeng gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph! If they don't come, if they do, they must be made to kowtow before my grandfather's spirit and apologize! ”
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "They won't come." ”
The villagers were shocked and asked, "Why?" ”
Liu Ziqiu sneered: "There are not many three-legged toads, isn't it easy to find two-legged people?" ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but get nervous.
With the expansion of the scale of the salt farm, the number of salt buters has also increased, and it has already grown from the original 80 people to the current 300 people, and the extra people are recruited from other places. Yanding, on the other hand, is engaged in simple manual labor, and with a little training, it only takes a day or two to get started. The people from the salt works have not come until now, and it is likely that they have recruited people from other places.
After the villagers moved here, it was no longer convenient for them to go to sea to fish, and their income depended on the dividends of the salt farm. If they don't go to work in the salt farm, they won't receive the dividends from the salt farm, and their lives will be unsustainable.
If you can't hold your breath, you want to go to the salt pan. Liu Ziqiu reprimanded: "What are you panicking about! I'll do the second uncle's business first, and it's not too late to go tomorrow! ”
I don't know what's going on, after the villagers knew that he wasn't really a big cow, they suddenly became in awe of him, and even the third aunt became restrained when she spoke. These changes made Liu Ziqiu very uncomfortable for a while. He had already heard Xiao Xin say that these villagers were originally slaves of the Xiao family, and perhaps the servility in their bones was difficult to eradicate for a while. However, this also has an advantage, they will implement what Liu Ziqiu said to the letter, except for Xiao Dapeng, who was faintly dissatisfied, no one dared to express objections.
In the past, when someone died in Changshan Village, he found a reed mat and buried it behind the village. Da Niu's father and mother, Xiao Xin's son and daughter-in-law all cook like this. Although Xiao Xin is the patriarch, the Xiao family has declined, so naturally it is impossible to have much scenery. However, Liu Ziqiu still paid for Er Zhuang to take two people to the county seat to buy a coffin, and chose a high ground behind the village, and several people were busy until dark, and finally buried Xiao Xin.
When he returned home, he saw Gao Xiu'er staring at the stack of medical books in front of him in a daze with tears on her face, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but wonder: "Xiu'er, what's wrong?" ”
In recent years, people have long looked down on life and death, although Xiao Xin has always been good to Gao Xiuer and Vanilla, but he will not be sad like this.
Gao Xiu'er sighed: "I finally understand my grandfather's intention to let me bring a copy back." If I had read the medical book a few days earlier, maybe I would have been able to help Qin Shubao's mother diagnose the disease, and I could have cured my second uncle. ”
Liu Ziqiu sat down beside her and whispered, "Xiu'er, if you are asked to study for a month, do you think your medical skills are better than Lao Sun?" ”
"Old grandson?"
"It's the grandfather you recognize, it's called kindness."
"This still needs to be asked, it definitely can't be compared."
"What about letting you go to school for a year?"
"Grandpa, he has been immersed in medical skills for decades, where can Xiu'er catch up."
"If you change to the old grandson, go to treat Qin Shubao's mother first, and then rush to treat the second uncle, do you think it's too late?"
Gao Xiu'er thought about it seriously, shook her head and said, "Grandpa is not a fairy, where can he catch up?" ”
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said, "Since even the old grandson can't do it, why should you blame yourself?" ”
Gao Xiu'er put away the medical book and said faintly: "I'm just a little sad." ”
"Medicine is not so easy to learn, even if you memorize all these medical books, it will be difficult to treat people. Lao Sun entrusted us with medical books because these medical books are too precious, and we must keep an extra backup to avoid accidental loss, but they are not for you to learn. Liu Ziqiu knew that Chinese medicine was broad and profound, and studying medicine was a chore, so he didn't want Gao Xiu'er to work too hard, so he changed the topic and asked, "Xiu'er, how much money do we have?" ”
Although these money were ill-gotten gains looted by Xu Tingfu, Liu Ziqiu took them in the dark, but they could only be carried out behind their backs, and it was not easy to take a detailed inventory in Li Jing's house. What's more, there are gold, silver, jewelry, jade treasures and everything in these belongings, and Liu Ziqiu doesn't know the market. So now, he can't figure out how much net worth he has.
Remembering that on the boat, Liu Ziqiu gave Uncle Qin a hundred taels of silver as soon as he made a move, Gao Xiu'er became vigilant: "What are you asking for?" ”
Liu Ziqiu knew that she was used to being careful in her calculations, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "Before the second uncle left, he talked to me about one thing, wanting to sponsor the children in the village to go to school. ”
Gao Xiu'er lived in the village for more than half a year, when she was dressed up so ugly that the villagers did not laugh at her, but sympathized with her. Since it was something that was good for the village, Gao Xiu'er didn't ask any more questions, and said, "I calculated today, in addition to the used ones, there are more than 3,000 taels left." ”
"So much!" Liu Ziqiu was taken aback, and couldn't help scolding, "Xu Tingfu, a dead eunuch, is really good at fishing!" ”
When Gao Gong was not in trouble, he also had a lot of money. Gao Xiu'er has been wearing fine clothes and food since she was a child, and she doesn't pay attention to more than 3,000 taels of silver at all. But since she experienced this change, she has a new understanding of money, glanced up at Liu Ziqiu, and said: "To run a school in the village, it is enough to invite a gentleman, ten taels of repairs per month, I will give you one hundred and fifty taels, and you can also invite the gentleman to go to the wine shop twice." ”
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Well, just according to your meaning." Tomorrow, you hand over the silver to the third aunt, and the third aunt is familiar with the county seat, just give it to her. ”
In fact, Liu Ziqiu understands that the plan of the Xie family and those Jiangnan wang clans is not only to teach children to read and write, but to let their children take the test to gain fame, which is not as simple as inviting a Mr. Mengxue. Not only do you have to hire famous teachers, but you also need to open up the joints in all aspects, which is really expensive. Although Xie, Wang and other Jiangnan wang clans no longer enjoy the treatment of the scholar class, their families have a big business, and they can still get this money, but the Xiao family no longer has this strength.
However, Liu Ziqiu never planned to participate in this plan. It's not that this plan can't be turned over, it's just that the waiting time is too long, and it is difficult to see results without more than ten years of hard work. If the Great Sui Dynasty can last for two hundred years, this is indeed a good idea, but it is a pity that Liu Ziqiu's ability to "predict the unknown" knows that the Great Sui Dynasty will not last for ten years. If there is such a large amount of wealth, it is better to use it to build a strong army and compete for the world. Despite this, children must still be allowed to go to school, otherwise they will have to work hard for a lifetime.
Before dawn the next day, Liu Ziqiu came to the entrance of the village early. The villagers who had to go to work in the salt works got up earlier than usual. Yesterday, the salt factory did not come to urge everyone to work, and many people began to feel uneasy. Xiao Dapeng also stood in the crowd with red eyes, and it was estimated that he hadn't slept all night yesterday.
Liu Ziqiu looked at everyone and suddenly said, "Dapeng, don't go today." ”
Xiao Dapeng said angrily: "Why? ”
Liu Ziqiu sighed and said, "Second uncle just left yesterday, today you can accompany me to give him two pillars of incense." ”
Xiao Dapeng didn't want to refuse, so he shook his sleeves angrily and walked aside.
Liu Ziqiu said to the rest of the people: "Today, when you go to work in the salt field, you will inevitably be harassed and ridiculed. I only have one request, no matter what they say or do, you must calm down, don't contradict, don't make noise, and don't do anything! ”
The bolt suddenly asked, "What should we do if the salt factory recruits another person and doesn't want us to go to work?" ”
Er Zhuang and the others also began to talk to each other, obviously worried about this matter.
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "If the salt field doesn't let you in, you can come back, and I will solve it." ”
Although the bolt and the others were a little puzzled, they still walked out of the village according to their words. Liu Ziqiu patted Xiao Dapeng on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, see your grandfather!" ”
