"Then why don't you buy the batch cloth from Dong'an and sell it yourself at a slightly lower price."

The coachman smiled bitterly: "Young Master Ming, we are rough old men who have never read books, where do we know how to do business, I thought about it before, but then I felt that it was better to forget it, and if it wasn't for the old lady's food, I would have starved to death." ”

Zhao Ming asked suspiciously: "Qingshui is not a grain production area, how can it starve to death?" ”

"In the early years, the clear water was dried for three months, and then the locust god came, and wherever there were any crops in the field, they were either dried up or eaten by the locust god.

Fortunately, there was an old lady who gave porridge and hung a sigh of relief, and the locust god was gone, and the old lady reduced the rent and gave grain seeds to survive.

Later, in order to repay the old lady's kindness, I stayed in the Zhao Mansion to do things.

Therefore, the people of Qingshui respect the old lady very much, and they all read the good of the old lady. ”

The coachman said this with emotion.

I don't understand why Uncle Cheman didn't say a word to the officials, and the officials were not responsible for dealing with the disaster.

"Uncle, what didn't you do as an official?"

"That dog officer is a fart, swallowing the disaster relief money, and taking the credit of the old lady on himself, and not looking at what he is."

I asked again, "Uncle, why didn't anyone sue him?" ”

"Sue a hammer, there is someone on that dog thing, and a few lives are on the line, and there should be a place to guard the county.

Fortunately, two days ago, news came that the dog official was arrested by the second prince, and he really has eyes. ”

This is really a coincidence, if it weren't for a corrupt official, Zhao Ming would still be Liu Ming now, and he would continue to wait in Liufu, and he would have to wait for a year.

Zhao Ming also sighed: "Yes, the sky has eyes!" Officials are not masters of the people, and they are not greedy or traitorous. ”

"It's still Young Master Ming's right."

Zhao Ming asked: "What about the current Qingshui County Order?" ”

"It's hard to say, it's just been a month, and it seems that the surname is money."

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Don't tell me, he has a father who is a servant?" ”

The coachman asked in surprise, "Young Master, how do you know?" ”

The corners of Zhao Ming's mouth twitched and said, "It's really true!" ”

"Young master, it's because his father is a big official above, and as soon as this Qingshui County order is vacant, he will be on top."

"What if, people really get an official position by virtue of their talents?"

The coachman scoffed, he didn't believe that there was anything good about the official.

"Young master, we arrived in Zhangjiapo, and the main surname in the village is Zhang."

Zhao Ming and the coachman have chatted for so long, and the relationship has improved a lot, and the coachman thinks that Zhao Ming is a good person, after all, they have scolded the dog officer together.

Only the village chief of Zhangjiapo came to greet Zhao Ming, which made the nurses very unhappy, they had been notified before, why was there only one person to greet the young master?

The head of the nursing home looked unkind, and said to the village chief: "It's not a notice, I'll come to see it in the afternoon, why are you alone." ”

The village chief said helplessly: "There is no way to do it, this is a good time for spring planting, we are busy with things in the field, I know that Gongzi wants to come and take a look, but we really can't support people to welcome Gongzi." ”

Zhao Ming was so embarrassed to say that he was like a leader who came to inspect in his previous life.

"It's okay, I'm just here to take a look, and spring planting can't be delayed, this is your livelihood for a year."

"Thank you for your understanding, we are busy in the fields almost all year round, planting in spring, weeding and carrying water in summer, harvesting in autumn, and plowing the ground in winter, otherwise how can there be a good harvest."

"I understand that only a little hard work can lead to a harvest."

When Zhao Ming said this, everyone was puzzled at first, but slowly comprehended, feeling that Zhao Ming was unfathomable, and admired Zhao Ming more and more.

The village chief took Zhao Ming and them to look around and look at the cultivated land, and there were indeed many people who were busy.

I went to the village to look around, and the evaluation was just one, a simple and simple small village.

"Village Chief, what do you mainly rely on for profit?"

"The main thing is to sell the grain grown to the old lady to make a little money, and the old lady does not lower the price.

The other thing is to find some herbs from the mountains to sell, and if you are lucky, you can make a lot of money.

A young man with a lot of strength will carry a bundle of firewood to the city to sell in exchange for a few spare money. ”

Zhao Ming feels that this kind of production and lifestyle is very primitive, but it can basically satisfy self-sufficiency, has a certain degree of closedness, and is a typical small-scale peasant economy, with weak disaster resistance.

"Village chief, why don't you plant fruit trees on that mountain than keep it for chopping firewood."

"Young master, I can't help it, this mountain is the old lady's industry, all the wood planted is good, we cut firewood, we all cut down long crooked branches, or we die of disease, we don't dare to move those good wood.

Moreover, the old lady also allowed us to cut down a good wood in the future and make a coffin for ourselves. ”

It turns out that my family is so rich, amazing, grandma.

"Then why doesn't the village chief take the grain that comes out and make wine, isn't it much better than selling the grain directly."

What the village chief thought in his heart was that Gongzi didn't have a backache when he stood and talked, so how could it be so easy to make wine.

The village chief said angrily: "Childe, brewing wine is not just a pile of grain, it also needs to have good water, and large-scale private brewing must be allowed by the government, otherwise it is a crime, and in previous years, this was arrested and put in prison." ”

Sure enough, I still took it for granted, thinking that I could just say a few words, but I couldn't bear to see the reality.

Farmers are not really stupid, and they will also change their methods to make money, but they are too restricted.

And few farmers have the courage to take risks, if they don't grow food, and instead of planting fruit trees in the fields, what will they eat in the first few years of fruiting?

This tree does not bear fruit by inserting it into the ground, it takes a few years for the fruit tree to blossom and bear fruit, and it is not a big deal to plant two trees next to the house, if he plants them all, others will definitely call him a fool.

Farmers prefer stability, and it is better to take the risk and fight hard, who is not the old and the young in the family.

"Village Chief, I'm going to build a big mansion here in the future, where do you say it's appropriate?"

"Young master, is it uncomfortable to live in the city? We still want to live in the city. ”

"It's nothing, it's just like it, is there a place for it?"

The village chief asked curiously: "Of course there is, but young master, do you plan to stay for a long time, or do you come to stay for a few days occasionally?" ”

"Stay for a long time, and I'll bring my grandmother and them in the future."

"The young master has to wait for a while, now that the spring is planted, there is really no manpower to repair the mansion for the young master."

"It's okay, I'll take a look around during this time to see what kind of place Qingshui is."

Zhao Ming soon went back, and on the way he was planning the development of Qingshui.

The first is to plant fruit trees, cut down a forest to plant fruit trees, and make a chain of fresh fruit and preserved fruit wine.

Secondly, the development of aquaculture, chicken and pig raising, to achieve scale.
