Chapter 51: Resistance
Xiao Qi got up early in the morning today, took the lily, and went to the mountains in Yangchun to investigate, and the mountains here are collectively called Xia Mountain.
Xiao Qisan first went to the mountains to see what crops the local people planted.
Through observation and the introduction of some local people, Xiao Qi learned that although most of Fan County is mountainous, it also has unique land water quality conditions, where the soil is fertile, the mountains and rivers are sweet and clear, and the apples, pears, peaches and other fruits grown are big and sweet!
Moreover, the local hillside has high humidity, the temperature is neither cold nor hot, the light is not strong or weak, it is very suitable for planting tea trees, and the local green tea is definitely a must in Guangxia, and is called "Xiashan green tea".
The fruits and green tea grown in Xiashan are very good, but it is extremely difficult to transport.
Xiao Qi found that there were actually some roads in the mountains, but the main reason why ordinary people could not transport crops by themselves was because there were no horse-drawn carts, ox carts and other means of transportation.
Think about it, the common people can't even eat enough, where do they have spare money to buy horses, cattle, cars, and even the cattle used to cultivate the land are rented by the landlord's family.
Many ordinary people even lost their fields, and they were forcibly seized by the squires and rich people.
Be careful and think:
"The tea and fruits here in Xiashan are very good, and the biggest problem is how to solve the transportation in this ravine. As long as this transportation is not done well, the common people will never be able to make a fortune.
In this case, let's just buy some ox carts and mule carts to transport goods to the people, and then collect less money as a reward to cover the cost, so that the people's income can be doubled! ”
Just do it, Xiao Qi arranged a few small guys, and first went to buy dozens of mule carts and ox carts. Then she instructed the little girl to go to Xiashan to inform the village.
Inform the villages that Xiaoqi can help the people transport the crops to Zero County and sell them, but they will receive 10% of the profit in return.
The people are not stupid, a total of Xiaoqi can earn several times more money by transporting crops, and there are dozens of ordinary people who come to Xiaoqi to operate animals that day.
Xiao Qi looked at this posture and thought:
"There are only a few dozen cars in total, which seems to be too few, so let's just get a hundred!"
So Xiao Qi asked the little guys to buy dozens of cars and find dozens of drivers.
A coachman's daily job is to transport the crops of the common people to Zero County, and after arriving in Zero County, there will be a purchasing boss to take over the goods.
The boss gave the money to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi left 10 percent of the money, and then gave the remaining 90 percent to the crop seller.
Then Xiao Qi took half of the profits from the 10 percent profit to the coachman, paid the wages of the helpers, and fed the cows and mules, and repaired the car.
Therefore, if an ox cart or mule cart pulls a car, Xiao Qi can transfer five percent of the profit of this cart of crops, and he can earn five carts of crops by pulling a hundred trips a day.
The farmers earned three times more silver on this trip than in the past, and the purchase price of the purchasers in Zero County was also 1.5 times lower than before.
This is a completely win-win deal, and Xiaoqi, the farmers in Xiashan and the purchasers in Zero County have all benefited greatly.
Most importantly, this also helped Xiao Qi win 90% of the hearts of the local people.
However, it is an eternal truth that some people benefit and some people suffer.
The interests suffered here are the local squires and wealthy people in Fan County. Xiao Qi's move directly cut off the source of wealth they had been relying on for survival. This is bound to cause a strong retaliation from the local squires and rich people!
The local gentry and wealthy of Fan County have become more united than ever, and although some of them were enemies before, they now face an even greater enemy together, so they become friends.
These squires are very unkind!
Without saying a word, they gathered fifty or sixty people and rushed into the inn where Xiao Qi lived, and they had to take Xiao Qi's life!
Fortunately, Xiao Qi and the others had already taken precautions, and they changed to an inn two days ago.
This group of squires and rich people can't find anyone, of course they won't stop!
So Xiao Qi went directly to the Fan County Mansion and informed Fan Wen of the Fan County Commander of the matter.
Fan Wen is really as rumored, he is an iron-faced selfless and good official dedicated to the people, he is not afraid of power, and he is moved by the spirit of the country and the people, so Fan Wen sent twenty people from the government to protect Xiao Qi and them.
Yangchun has never looked up since he came into the mansion.
The squires and rich men panicked!
No matter how bold they are, they don't dare to do anything to the people of the government! Otherwise, wouldn't that be looking for your own death?
But people's wisdom is always endless, although Xiao Qi has the protection of the government, the people of Xiashan have no government protection, right?
So the squires and rich men of Fan County actually took people to Xiashan, dragged out the village chiefs of each village, and almost beat them to death.
They did this to show Xiao Qi and let Xiao Qi know that although they couldn't clean up Xiao Qi, they could clean up other innocent people! Aren't you, Chen Xiaoqi, going to serve the people? As a result, because of you, the common people were beaten like this! How else do you serve the people?
Second, they are for the common people! If any of you dare to transport goods from Chen Xiaoqi again, then it is guaranteed that you will end up with your village chief!
As long as people are mad to a certain extent, they can do anything that lacks morality!
Xiao Qi knew that after the village chiefs of Xiashan were beaten, the anger in his heart came up as soon as he "rubbed"!
She immediately took the money and medicine and went to Xiashan to visit the village chiefs of each village.
What shocked Xiao Qi was that none of the dozen or so village chiefs bowed their heads to the squires and rich people, and they all had the same meaning as Xiao Qi:
"Our people in Xiashan are used to being oppressed by the squires and rich people, and they have always been poor, and many people are starved to death every year! Now that I finally have the hope of being fed and clothed, I can't let the villagers suffer because I cherish my own life! ”
Xiao Qi was deeply moved, she decided to continue to do the business of helping the people transport goods, and at the same time, Xiao Qi also asked the villagers about several key people among these squires and rich people:
Cai Jie, the wealthy squire ranks first in terms of financial resources, and there are also people in the Guangxia County government, who have the most right to speak, and the unity of the squire and rich people this time is gathered by him.
Zhu Hao can be regarded as the "strategist" character in this group of squires and rich people, and these bad ideas are basically come up with him.
Zhou Ming is the role responsible for conveying news in this group of squires and rich tycoons, convening everyone to hold meetings, helping everyone exchange news, and other things, all of which are handled by him.
Xiao Qi thought to himself:
"Shoot people first and shoot horses first, capture thieves and capture kings first, as long as I get rid of these three people, then their group of squires and rich people will definitely become a plate of loose sand."
The first target, of course, is Zhu Hao, the bastard.
