Chapter 27: Datang New Village (2)

"You don't know anything about this master's words. Last winter, an old woman froze to death in the village, and this year, the village has been sick and died, and no one has ever taken care of us. Li Lao immediately explained tremblingly.

Through the mouth of Li Lao, the villagers' autonomy is simplified to neighbors helping each other and taking care of each other, which is the most fundamental reason why Lin Feng insisted on inviting Li Jing to come and visit! Villager autonomy is a very suitable thing for this village, but it is also a place that is easy to be attacked, if you can get Li Jing's approval in advance, you don't have to worry much about this after you leave.

Tao Qian was speechless. Li Jing, Li Jingsui, and Li Hongji's faces also soothed, and only Li Yu ran over to look at the simple **.

After visiting the humble council hall, Old Man Li led the way, and led a silent group of people to see the two households that had moved in. In fact, to tell the truth, there is really nothing to see, except for a new house that looks glamorous on the outside, there are only four words on the inside.

At this time, Li Jing's face had changed from unhappiness to a little shocked, and he couldn't help asking, "Uncle, are all the people in this village so poor?" ”

Li Lao glanced at Li Jing carefully, and quickly lowered his head and said: "Back to this master, these two families are still relatively good, and there is one person in each family who can occasionally go out to do odd jobs and earn a few pennies." There are a total of 97 people in our village, and the other families are either old or young, and even there are seriously ill people in the family, who will not be able to survive. Before Yaya was taken away by Lord Lin, she had to go to the vegetable market five miles away every day to pick vegetables and leaves to live. ”

Li Yu was young and soft-hearted, and his eyes were a little moist when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to ask, "Then what will you do with your future life?" ”

Elder Li arched his hand at Lin Feng and said gratefully: "Old man, thank you for the kind Lord Lin!" He said that since Yaya had followed him, he could no longer ask for a house, and changed the house that originally belonged to Yaya into a toy workshop, preparing to leave a way for our village to eat. ”

"What does a toy workshop do?" Li Yu immediately asked, asking a large number of people to ask the common doubts.

Li Lao once again respectfully glanced at Lin Feng, who was following behind the most lu, and said loudly: "Lord Lin has designed a lot of wooden toys suitable for children, he gave us the pattern, and also shipped wood, bought paint, and then paid us to buy the toys that are made and sold in the supermarket in the city." This kind of work can be done by the old, weak, sick and disabled in our village, although each family does not earn much, but it also has a fixed income, and the big guys say that Lord Lin is our great bodhisattva who saves the suffering! ”

Hearing this, the group all looked at Lin Feng. Li Jing stared at Lin Feng and nodded appreciatively.

Lin Feng shook his head in his heart, this old Li, this is too much, right? This is actually a simple commodity processing, a mutually beneficial little thing!

Lin Feng hurriedly explained: "Toys are toys designed to develop children's intelligence, and the profits are not large, so a set can't give them a few pennies." ”

At this time, a group of people have walked to the toy workshop, both inside and outside the workshop, there are old people and children, some adults are sawing wood and painting, and children are responsible for printing and drawing lines on the wood, cleaning up and placing the sawn large and small wooden blocks.

Lin Feng took two steps forward, picked up a set of toys that had been made under the porch, and explained: "For example, this set of toys is a wooden barrel on the outside, and slightly larger round, square and triangular holes are chiseled out on the lid of the barrel, so as to train children to reload according to the shape of each wooden block. ”

Lin Feng took off the lid, poured all the wooden blocks in the bucket on the ground, and neatly used the wooden blocks of different shapes to build a simple small house, and explained: "These wooden blocks can be mixed and combined at will, which can be used to exercise children's thinking, imagination and hands-on ability. ”

Li Yu took two steps forward, lifted another bucket next to him, and on the lid of the bucket was the Arabic numeral "0-9", and when he opened it, it was a different wooden number, and he turned around in surprise and shouted: "Father, these two sets of toys are really fun and interesting, and it is best to buy them back and play with them for Lao Shi." ”

The tenth child in Li Yu's mouth is naturally Li Jing's youngest son, who is only three years old this year.

Li Jing was also very curious about these toys that he had never seen before, and nodded with a smile on his face. Li Jingsui immediately took the money from the accompanying guards and handed it to Li Lao.

Li Lao was startled, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't dare, this set of toys only sells for thirty yuan, and Xiao Lao'er will be the master, so I will give two sets to a few kind-hearted masters." ”

Li Jingsui cared about this little money, grabbed Li Lao's hand, and forced the money to Li Lao, Li Lao was like holding a fire, and he didn't know what to do.

Lin Feng hurriedly stepped forward to play the round: "Old Li, you can take it." This is also a little caution on the part of several big masters. You might as well use this money to add a few more sets of saws and rulers to the big guy! ”

Li Lao thanked him for his kindness, turned around and handed the money to a very old woman at the scene, "The new village was born to show the benevolence of the world, and a house of warmth condenses the world of Datong." This is a good couplet. At this time, Li Jingsui pointed to the couplet on the door of the toy workshop.

Everyone's eyes immediately fixed on the couplet, and Tao Qian casually continued: "That's true, the horizontal criticism of 'Long Live the Tang Dynasty' can be described as the finishing touch." ”

Lin Feng almost laughed out loud, and quickly lowered his head to look through the toys. This is a sycophant couplet he wrote nonsense, I can't imagine that these people really care so much.

Li Lao replied respectfully: "Back to my lords, this is an inscription written by the officials who came to visit us, and we all think that it has written the words of our villagers, and we unanimously decided to hang this couplet here." This is what Lin Feng deliberately told Li Lao, and this cannot be regarded as deliberately bullying the king, after all, Lin Feng is also an official who has visited here.

Li Jing didn't speak, still just nodding with satisfaction.

Seeing Lin Feng's eyes signaling to continue, Li Lao turned around and led everyone to visit the three wooden signs in front of the toy workshop.

The content of these three wooden plaques is actually very simple: one is the origin of the construction of the new village written by Han Xizai, and the opening chapter specifically points out the names of several bigwigs of the old Li family in the Southern Tang Dynasty who took the lead in donating. Together is all the people who participated in the donation, including a cadre of ministers and all the wealthy businessmen of Jinling City.

When Li Lao talked about the third wooden card, the eyes of a group of people brightened, this is the "villager convention" that everyone has just heard but does not care about, the first sentence of the convention is: "Every villager in the village loves the Tang Dynasty with all his heart, loves and supports today's saints." The following points out matters such as the village discussing matters together, jointly maintaining public health, and not subletting and selling houses.

At this time, Li Lao said with emotion: "Without today's saint, there would be no prosperous Tang Dynasty, and there would be no today's village!" We are grateful in our hearts and unanimously decided to love Datang and support Shengshang as the first article of the villagers' convention! ”

Lin Feng secretly glanced at Li Jing beside him, and found that the corners of his eyes were wrinkles from laughter, and his heart suddenly became relieved, knowing that another little fart he had arranged in advance had worked.

At this time, Li Lao knelt down with a "plop", which startled everyone.

Old man Li prostrate on the ground and said loudly: "Little Lao'er, you are either rich or expensive, and you are willing to ask for a name for our new village and leave a Mobao, so that everyone in our village is proud of their village and the prosperous year they live!" ”

If you want to name the inscription, it naturally depends on Li Jing's meaning! A group of people immediately looked at the emperor who was standing in the middle.

Li Jing groaned for a moment and said, "Then let's call it Datang New Village." ”

"Bang bang", a group of people immediately applauded this extremely vulgar name.

At this time, Li Lao also led a few children to carry a desk over, prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and respectfully asked Li Jing to inscribe.

Li Jing did not shirk, and wrote down the four words "Datang New Village", and also wrote three small characters of Li Jingtong in the lower left corner, which was the name he used before he ascended the throne.

Li Jingsui pulled Lin Feng to the side and said softly: "Stinky boy, let you deceive the saint for the last inscription again!" This is what you are talking about as a celebration of the formation of a new village? ”

Lin Feng spread his hands and said with a stomach full of grievances: "King Qi, don't wronged a good person!" I didn't ask for it for myself once, I did good deeds and good deeds, and I also made a name for myself. In addition, there is not much money in the village at all, so the festival is naturally as simple as possible! Lin Feng also had no choice, if he hadn't suddenly decided to go west, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry, and he would definitely publicize the completion of the new village to the world!

Li Jingsui punched Lin Feng hard, turned around with a smile and returned to the crowd in front of the desk.
