Yuncheng County, Dongxi Village

This village, where the lord of Liangshan and the king of Tota was born, is now basically no longer the trace of the existence of Chao Gai and the Chao clan.

Even, when the government attacked Liangshan, Dongxi Village was implicated and was severely scraped off a layer of oil and water.

The entire Dongxi Village had been dilapidated at that time.

Liangshan became stronger and stronger under the encirclement and suppression of the official army, but the villagers of Dongxi Village did not have the courage to complain that they were implicated by Chao Gai.

Besides, after Chao Gai left, he transferred all the fields in his hands to the villagers of the same village at a low price, and the villagers gained quite a lot at this time.

This favor, the villagers have to recognize!

Later, Chao Gai disappeared from Liangshan, and the villagers of Dongxi Village wanted to ask whether this person was dead or alive, but unfortunately they didn't have the courage and no channels.

Unexpectedly, the main force of Liangshan accepted Zhao'an, and after leaving, the Chai officials who stayed in the village were amazingly capable, and they actually started a vigorous rural transformation plan.

Dongxi Village is located on the edge of Shuibo and is naturally one of the villages in the first round of renovation.

Regardless of whether the villagers are happy or not, they have no courage to stop Liangshan Benzhai and take the initiative to transform the village, and they have to work hard to actively cooperate.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the entire Dongxi Village has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In short, with the emergence of workshops and schools in the village, Dongxi Village has changed from its previous dilapidation, almost the same as a month, and life is becoming more and more prosperous.

Some shrewd villagers gritted their teeth and followed the trend to build a small workshop, asked for technical support from the village to become a shareholder, and became the owner of a fashionable small workshop.

Liu Laosan is one of them!

He gritted his teeth, almost emptied his family, applied for a low-interest loan, and the technical support of Liangshan Benzhai, and finally made a small candy workshop.

With the commercial expansion of Liangshan Benzhai, Liu Laosan's candy workshop also benefited, and it didn't take a year to recover the cost, and the next year he recovered the shares of Benzhai at a high price, turning the candy workshop into a pure family workshop.

You can earn at least 300 yuan a year, which is definitely not a small amount.

Fortunately, Dongxi Village has a small family workshop, not only Liu Laosan's family, but it is not particularly prominent, but the living conditions in the past two years are abundant, and life has become more and more prosperous.

developed, the surrounding relatives naturally followed suit.

Fortunately, Liu Laosan and his relatives all live around Shuibo, and when the rural transformation plan of this village covers the past, the lives of the relatives have also improved rapidly, so as not to become annoying characters fighting the autumn wind.

Seeing the rapid rise of the family's savings, Liu Laosan was in high spirits some time ago, planning to expand the family's candy workshop, and by the way, he invited the mysterious students of the Fu Gong School to help transform the production process, and by the way, add some Fu Gong appliances to improve production efficiency and earn more profits.

Not to mention that the market of Jingdong's east and west roads is broad enough, and now there is a newly opened Yanyun market, which is enough to digest the output brought by the expansion of the production capacity of his candy workshop.

Seeing that, the Liu family is about to prosper, and even enter the ranks of wealthy households, becoming an existence that they never dared to think of before.

If you can really become a rich family, even if a few children in the family fail to become famous in school, they can also mix without worrying about food and clothing with the family's industry.

It's just a pity that before Liu Laosan could act, a sudden disaster came to the door.

After Chao Gai, Du Baozheng of Dongxi Village suddenly came to the door and told Liu Laosan a thunderbolt of news: a big man in the city had taken a fancy to his candy workshop and wanted to buy it at a price of 100 yuan, and asked him to give an answer as soon as possible.

This, this, this is really a bolt from the blue!

Liu Laosan panicked, anxious, and angry......

He did not have the usual representative of Liangshan Benzhai in Dongxi Village, but found the old man in the village, hoping that the old man would come forward to help intercede.

Just kidding, the candy workshop at home has a profit of 300 yuan per year, and when the workshop was established, it cost dozens of yuan, how can it be sold for 100 yuan?

In Liu Laosan's heart, the family's candy workshop is to be passed on to the next generation, as the inheritance industry of the Liu family.

As for not looking for the representative of the village in the village, it is also an old habit.

At this time, the representative of Benzhai Chang in the village is similar to the people in the government in Liu Laosan's eyes, so if it's okay, it's better not to be easily alarmed.

It's just a pity that the old habit of traditional methods is not used at all.

The old man in the village who was invited to move ran for a few days, and figured out the exact situation, and at the same time clearly told Liu Laosan that if he didn't want to cause disaster to his family, he would honestly sell the candy workshop according to the other party's requirements.

The old man in the village who was invited to move told Liu Laosan that it was Zhang Dahu from the county seat who fell in love with his candy workshop.

This guy has a very hard relationship in the yamen, even when Song Jiang, the lord of Liangshan, was the secretary, he didn't dare to offend easily, and he heard that he had connections in the official office of Fucheng.

If Liu Laosan is not interested, Zhang Dahu can make Liu Laosan's family ruin by doing some tricks and feet.

Liu Laosan was naturally frightened, but it was impossible for him to sell his family's workshop easily and cheaply.

"I'll tell you the truth, if you don't know how to do it, I believe that in a few days, the officials in the county will come to the door!"

Bao Zheng in the village bitterly frightened: "Once the methods in the yamen are used, it will not be a normal business!" ”

Liu Laosan's face could be bitter, and he said bitterly: "Is it difficult, is there no way?" ”

"What can be done?"

Bao Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Zhang Da is a big family, we ordinary people can't afford to offend at all, and it's worrying if one doesn't end well!" ”

Liu Laosan and his mother-in-law looked at each other, and the bitter water in their hearts could almost completely submerge them, and their eyes were red.

The little lady who had just been born didn't know if she sensed the dull atmosphere, and suddenly burst into tears.

For a moment, Liu Laosan only felt that the dark clouds were covering the top, and he was almost out of breath.

"Sister, why is my sister crying?"

Just when the atmosphere was extremely depressing, the three boys of Liu Laosan's family came home from vacation, and they heard the cry of a baby from afar, and the eldest Liu Dazhuang hurriedly asked loudly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I guess your sister is hungry!"

Liu Laosan hurriedly squeezed out an ugly look, but he didn't want his three boys to know the current predicament.

"Liu Laosan, you think about it, and I'll come back to you tomorrow!"

Bao Zheng seemed to be a little afraid of the three boys of the Liu family, and he didn't wait for them to come over and hurriedly say a word, so he left in a hurry.

"Dad, why did Baozheng come to the house?"

Liu Dazhuang had already run over, and when he saw Bao Zheng's hasty appearance of almost running away, he couldn't help frowning slightly and asked curiously.

In other words, Baozheng has the responsibility to help the yamen to collect taxes, and it can be said that it has a great impact on the people at the bottom.

If there was no malice in Baozheng, the people's lives would still be barely passable.

But once Baozheng is not right-minded and wants to squeeze the people for profit, then the people under his command will really be in dire straits.

However, the situation in Liangshan Benzhai is completely different, because the Liangshan Commercial Bank, in the name of the villagers' mutual aid association, directly discussed with the government the method and amount of villagers' taxes.

Every year, when it is time to pay taxes, the Liangshan Commercial Bank will pay the full amount of taxes to the government on behalf of the people.

In this way, without the exploitation of the central officials and Baozheng and others, the burden of the people was suddenly reduced a lot, and the taxes of the government were not reduced by half a cent.

The only interests that are damaged are the yamen tax collectors and local security, but Liangshan Benzhai is powerful and doesn't care at all.

Speaking of which, the Baozheng of Dongxi Village has basically become an ornament.

As the party whose interests are damaged, it is obvious that Baozheng will definitely not be happy and try his best to seek personal interests through various means.

Baozheng of Dongxi Village is such an existence, and he is quite unpopular.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that I met the nag!"

Liu Laosan smiled reluctantly, he didn't want his own kid to be involved in such a thing.

The so-called hot-blooded boy, under a bad impulse, is afraid that he will do something foolish.

Especially after the three boys in the family went to the school in Liangshan Benzhai, they were all very high-spirited, and they began to point out a lot of opinions about the affairs of the family.

If his own kid dares to be so offended before the change of family has not yet taken off, Liu Laosan is afraid that he will have to teach a ruthless lesson.

However, since the children in the family went to the Benzhai School, they saw that their bodies were as strong as calves, and there was still a fierce atmosphere all over their bodies, Liu Laosan did not have the courage to teach a lesson, for fear of attracting the dissatisfaction and resistance of the boys.

Fortunately, the kid in the family is different after reading the book, he is polite and polite, and he looks like a dog, and he has not caused trouble for the family, so Liu Laosan is relieved.

Speaking of his own boy's schooling, it is also a new situation that began to appear after Liangshan Benzhai began to renovate Dongxi Village.

I don't know what the kings of Liangshan Village think, they have built a school in the village to make it mandatory for all school-age children to go to school, not to mention the mandatory night school learning tasks for adult villagers.

Fortunately, it is not the Four Books and Five Classics that are taught, otherwise Liu Laosan would have to suffocate himself in the night school class.

But the subsequent request caused a lot of twists and turns in the village.

After graduating from the village school, the students have to continue their studies in the secondary school in Liangshan Benzhai, but the secondary school teaches a variety of practical skills.

Whether you are happy or not, your arms can't twist your thighs after all.

In the face of the extremely strong Liangshan Village, Liu Laosan and other villagers did not dare to object, of course, reading is a good thing, and being able to learn a skill is a good thing among good things.

Liangshan Benzhai School does not restrict, only charges the cost of books, and Liu Laosan's family can still easily afford it.

If it had been before, I wouldn't have thought about it.

Although the family had some savings at that time, how could they afford to provide for the three boys to go to school?

This is also one of the main reasons why Liangshan Benzhai is respected by the villagers, who doesn't want future generations to have a good future......
