86. How quickly and well the province will build a new countryside
Zhao Shizhen turned around and came to Chen Lihua's face, calmly reporting the results: "A total of 637 catties of sugar were sold in three days, and the remaining 1,124 catties were sold. More than 1,000 and 74 yuan. In addition, I have agreed with the Southwest Yi merchants to buy and sell cane sugar, and I will send 1,000 catties of cane sugar every month. ”
"I have a son, such as Han Gaozu and the ovary!" Chen Lihua did not hesitate to praise herself, and then said with regret: "It's a pity that you don't want to do things for me, otherwise this career will be able to go to the next level sooner or later." ”
"I do." Zhao Shizhen lowered his head and whispered.
“? What did you say? Chen Lihua thought she had misheard.
"Whispering has found her own thing to do, and I'm embarrassed to continue pestering her, am I?" He shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "Gotta find a way to forget her." ”
"Aren't humans such forgetful creatures? When something happens, you can choose to sink deeper and deeper into it; You can also choose to continue walking and enjoy the scenery on the side of the road. If you choose the latter path, there will be more beautiful people and things to meet you, and a few years later, you will recall the death and life of your love in the past? It's just an insignificant piece of scenery on the road of life. A calm male voice sounded in Chen Lihua's ears, and there was a hint of sadness.
"Shut up. It's like you've been with someone. ”
The system shut its mouth in a huff.
Chen Lihua patted him on the shoulder heavily, and she suddenly found that she seemed to pat him on the shoulder every time they met, but other than that, there seemed to be nothing else to do.
The money is in place, the people are in place, the goods are in place, and even the clothes on a whim are in place. Chen Lihua, who felt that she was about to rust, could finally start her own performance.
Since the three innocent ladies came, the old and young masters of Funiu Village felt that they had come to work.
I don't know where the children of nobles come from, they are full of interest all day long, and they are really generous. first spent money to let everyone cut bamboo for her, and then paid people to dig deep pits. In three days, every household earned more than a dozen copper coins, which was enough for the children to play happily at the assembly several times.
Last night, a short coat was given to all those who had strong laborers in the village, and as long as he dragged his family to the threshing floor tomorrow, he would be given this dress. The people who got a piece of clothing for nothing happily agreed, anyway, they got up so early on weekdays, so what was the loss of going by the way?
When I arrived at the threshing floor, I found that this girl's pomp was really not small, on the high platform that no one went up on weekdays, she stood in the most conspicuous middle, surrounded by a few boxes, and behind the boxes was the hunched waist of the village, who was looking curiously at Chen Lihua's skirt from time to time. Chen Lihua, who was dressed in a gorgeous palace skirt, was heroic, showing a luxurious attitude with a smile, in order to let herself suppress these villagers, she directly put on her skirt at the bottom of the box, and she was just a group of uninformed farmers, and she would not see her identity from it.
Originally, the villagers who had just come to see the fun and took a piece of clothes for nothing looked at it, and felt that the atmosphere was wrong, so they lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak again. This is the vigilance on which the people at the bottom depend.
Chen Lihua raised a horn and shouted to the people below, and the already loud voice spread out, allowing everyone to hear it clearly:
"Fathers and fellow villagers, do you remember what the barren fields in the south of the village were like at the beginning?"
There was still no one at the bottom who dared to respond.
Chen Lihua was not embarrassed, paused slightly, and said to herself:
"I don't know, because I haven't been here yet. I may not have even gotten out of my mother's womb at that time. ”
At this moment, someone below couldn't help but let out a good-natured laugh, and quickly stopped. On the one hand, Su Qingyun also felt a little interesting, but more puzzled and curious.
Why did His Highness bother himself like this and tell such a bloody joke to these ordinary people? If you just want them to use it for yourself, isn't the money Zhao Shizhen earned before enough?
"But I've heard Muramasa say that Nada is really good! I am a big jin, and the yield of one and a half stones per mu is considered to be a field, and the price is to be doubled. And the fields here used to be enough to produce two stones! This kind of field, whether in the Great Jin Dynasty or in the Liang Kingdom, is rare. ”
The whispers that came from the previous Miss Dignitary's meat words gradually disappeared, and this accident happened only for more than ten years, and the old people have not forgotten the previous days. Chen Lihua's words brought them back to that happy era.
"At that time, our Funiu Village was amazing! Everyone's life is prosperous, who doesn't envy it? Chen Lihua has cleverly included herself in the category of Funiu Village, and none of the villagers have noticed this. Chen Lihua's tone was gentle at the beginning, her voice was kind and amiable, and when she talked about the output, she deliberately used a proud tone, so that everyone present had a sense of honor. And in the back, the mood gradually became sad, and her voice began to grow, no longer gentle, and became louder.
"But now? Everyone is disgusted with the days of our Funiu Village! Who didn't love the stick guy in our Funiu Village before? Since this large piece of land died of drought, how many men have been divorced by girls from other villages? The world is difficult, and we can't force others to live with us, but we should understand," Chen Lihua took a deep breath, and the green tendons on her elegant neck were already bulging.
"Think about it, you have a wife, a baby, a hoe and a song, you work hard every day, you count every day, but there is still no food at home! Without food, the baby will not grow strong, and the sons will not be able to get a wife! No one looks down on us! Only the days when there is land to plant and food to eat are good days! This land, no matter what, should get it back! ”
Chen Lihua strode to the side of the box and kicked it down, and the golden copper coins were strung together by a strong red thread, pouring out of the box and shining on the ground. The red cloth next to the box was opened, and the neat bamboo material was polished into various shapes of steel, and piled up together in different categories.
"I am not short of silver; I don't lack methods; Faith, I don't lack it, what I lack is people, it's you! I just don't know if you still have the courage to fight against the odds? ”
The people who were still smiling before were already excited, and shouted in unison: "Yes! ”
"Be louder, I can't hear you! Aren't you as loud as a woman like me? ”
The mountains shook with a uniform voice. "Yes!"
Chen Lihua nodded in satisfaction, and stuffed the horn into Muramasa's hand, "I would like to invite Muramasa to speak." ”
The old village chief looked at the people below with green light in their eyes, and it was hard to imagine that this was the villagers who were depressed and got by before, staring at countless enthusiastic eyes, and the old village only felt that his mouth was dry and trembling for a long time, and then he said weakly: "Let's go!" ”
"Forced to move, where is it easy for them to move on their own." Chen Lihua said proudly to the stunned Su Qingyun. "Now do you understand why I'm doing this?"
The people who used to be idle were aroused with great enthusiasm, and the afternoons that should have been used for daze or small talk were put to good use. Pei Qingyu led a group of people to set up a waterwheel next to the river, Su Qingyun led a group of people to set up pipelines, and Chen Lihua personally took a shovel and worked with people to dig shallow canals and simple ridges next to the saline-alkali land, turning the vast saline-alkali land into blocks of squares.
The old and weak ladies are not to be outdone, before Chen Lihua ordered someone to dig a big pool, but now it is simply sealed to make a crude septic tank. The aunts turned into inspectors, some of them stood guard by the pool, and some of them walked around the village, seeing who didn't have long eyes and solved it casually, pinching their ears was a meal. However, there are very few people like this, and most of them are lazy naughty children. People who are in high spirits can now hold back even if Chen Lihua ordered them to go to the toilet for three days, let alone just collect feces?
