Chapter 200: Another Year of Harvest

There is no doubt that this time the Liqun Club has achieved unprecedented success, whether it is the large sum of money stored in the money bank, or the topic center of the entire Qingshan County, or Bai Zhi County always receives a request from a subordinate, and the words are all about recommending his wife, which can occupy a place for next year's Liqun Club.

Bai Zhixian was happy all day long, because the impact of this incident was simply beyond his estimates.

The people felt that although the officials and wives lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, they all had a compassionate heart and did not forget those who had a hard time.

As soon as the last gathering ended, this Liqun Club took out 3,000 taels of silver, and according to the results of the government's preliminary registration and investigation, went to the families who lost their children one by one to express condolences and sent condolences money.

At the same time, like these families, the government has been working hard and has never forgotten to help them find their lost children.

The most direct result of this incident is naturally that when Bai Zhi County, the county magistrate, and the master of the book walk on the street, someone will take the initiative to greet them, sometimes by handing over a glass of water, and sometimes by simply greeting.

This flattered several people, and this was the first time in Qingshan County. I don't know if there will be such treatment in the future, but there was no such treatment in the past.

At the same time, Qingshan County has set off a boom in making clothes and jewelry, which has directly led to the development of all walks of life. Liuyunxuan's novel dining model has also caused other restaurants to follow suit.

In short, the business of Qingshan County as a whole is full of vitality, and the tax money at the end of the month speaks for itself. Looking at such an astonishing amount, in addition to taking a cut to enrich their purses, several adults smiled and couldn't close their mouths.

If this continues, it is simply intolerable that they will not be promoted.

This Baizhi County is really powerful, it can be called a thick accumulation. In this way, he failed the first assessment, maybe it was deliberate. However, he is quite ruthless. In order to soar into the sky, he dared to cut himself.

After all, if you want to promote and suppress first, this trick is not something that everyone dares to do.

However, the influence of the Liqun Club is not enough. Although it is only in the embryonic stage and has not yet taken shape, there has been a great discussion in the women's circles.

Topics such as "women are not just subordinates of men" and "women can still create prices without men" have become hot. On the contrary, the concubines of all families began to clamp their tails and behave, and they did not dare to be as arrogant as before.

Speaking of which, this is simply an awakening of the mothers-in-law.

However, what pushed the reputation of the Liqun Society to the peak was the fact that the queen invited the members of the Liqun Society to the capital to guide the establishment of the Beijing Liqun Society.

As soon as this news came out, the Qin family felt that it was a pity, and felt that this time it was to make wedding clothes for others. Because Gu Xixi is pregnant now, it is not suitable for long-distance travel at all, otherwise, this opportunity to show his face will definitely be indispensable to Gu Xixi.

Sooner or later, they will have to break into the circle of noblewomen in the capital, and this time is the best opportunity. It's just a pity that I'm going to miss it now.

However, Gu Xixi didn't think so, but what bothered her was another thing, that is, the question of who to go to the capital this time. You must know that this is the meaning of the queen's mother, if you don't do it well, it's just a waste of your efforts.

Organizing the Liqun Club is simple to say, but in fact, it involves all aspects of things, and I dare not be sloppy at all. Doing well is rewarded. If you don't do it well, it's over.

On the other hand, the members of the first phase of the Liqun Club ran to Gu Xixi's house when they had nothing to do, and Bai Zhixian was also very disturbed, and recently the subordinates saw him as fanatical as if they had seen silver, and frantically promoted their wives.

Everyone knows that Gu Xixi has enough experience in his hands to guide his wife. Even if she doesn't know anything, can't she learn it? Besides, there is more than one person going to go.

However, as long as you get this place, going to the capital to guide the Liqun Club there can be regarded as becoming famous in one fell swoop, and it can be regarded as climbing the line of the queen's mother, which is simply a good thing that you can't dream of.

On this day, Gu Xixi and Bai Zhixian combined, the county Cheng and the wife of the master of the bookkeeper's family naturally wanted to go, but what about the other candidates? It's a thing that offends people.

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Xixi asked someone to enter the palace to ask the queen what she meant, and said that the establishment of the Liqun Club was more cumbersome, there were more things involved, and there were more noblewomen in the capital, and the number of applicants was estimated to be very terrifying.

In the end, with a wave of her hand, the queen agreed that all members except Gu Xixi would go to Beijing to assist in the work. After receiving the news, Gu Xixi was very happy and immediately informed all members of the good news.

Now it's okay, she doesn't have to offend people.

And all the members were already ready to go, but as soon as this news arrived, they were all grateful for Gu Xixi's recommendation and started a new round of preparations.

In their hearts, they decided that this was the result of their hard work. She is the chairman of the Qingshan County Liqun Association, which is well deserved.

Therefore, in the midst of all the anticipation, the Liqun Association held its second meeting after its establishment. At the meeting, Gu Xixi explained in detail the various things needed to establish the Liqun Club, and everyone listened very carefully, for fear of missing something.

Some people even brought female histories borrowed from other places, one by one, no matter how big or small, and wrote them all down.

Half a month later, the escort sent by the queen mother from the capital arrived in Qingshan County, and after a short rest, the twenty-nine noble ladies followed the escort team in the envious eyes of everyone.

No one doubted that the queen's invitation to Qingshan County's wives to enter Beijing was a waste of money and labor, first, she didn't dare, and second, the establishment of the Liqun Society in the capital, the benefits of which were obvious.

The capital is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world, and everyone, including the emperor, believes that when the Liqun of the capital is established, the economic benefits generated at that time are simply immeasurable.

So, it's just more than 20 people, what is the cost of all the members of the Liqun Club in Qingshan County going to Beijing?

As for their father-in-law, they don't need to be monitored at all, and they have repeatedly promised that they don't dare to look for flowers and ask willows, after all, their mother-in-law will be by the side of the queen of the capital for a while. It's too late to make offerings, let alone find a skinny horse by yourself.

Women are just different from men, once they become victims of affection, everyone will help each other and attack the unfaithful person. Although the queen may not care about the family affairs of the officials at all, these members will help.

Compared with the wives of the Liqun Club who went to the capital in a beautiful way and traveled at public expense, Chenjia Village is a different scene. After a hot summer, the crops in the field began to ripen slowly.

Before the change, Chen Jixing's interplanting of sweet potatoes and soybeans would become news, but this year, every household has learned to interplant, coupled with timely fertilization and proper technology, it is not a problem for every household to increase their output by 20 or 30 percent.

However, everyone's eyes are not on these general crops that are about to ripen, and everyone's attention is on those precious longevity fruits.

In another half a month, this immortal fruit will be ripe.

You must know that in the last year alone, the silver obtained has made earth-shaking changes in Chenjia Village. And this year, don't even think about it, there will be more. As early as a few months ago, some shopkeepers who had never met before and who came from nowhere tried to negotiate with the villagers.

Originally, everyone thought that they could sell everything except the seeds like last year, and then divide dozens of taels of silver. When the time comes, the family will have money in store. For the situation of last year's silver split, everyone still remembers it vividly, and they can't wait to experience it once. That is, because of last year's policy, Chenjia Village has added a lot of people this year, not counting the newly married daughters-in-law.

The most ironic thing is that Chen Jideng and his wife, who live in the middle of the village, although both husband and wife are over 50 years old, it is time for several children to marry and marry to marry, and it is time to enjoy happiness.

Last year, a lot of silver was divided, and the couple's expenses were originally small, so almost all the silver was saved, and occasionally it was used to help the married daughter. Who knows, just after dividing the silver, the couple actually succeeded in creating a man, and just last month, they just got a big fat boy.

This is the only case like Chen Jideng and his wife, but there are many newborn children in other families, without him, everyone is waiting for the silver, who let the village chief say that the silver will be divided according to the head, regardless of size.

However, everyone was a little confused today, because Chen Jifa had just called a meeting with everyone. There is only one purpose of this meeting, that is, this year, the village will not focus on selling longevity fruits, but according to the head of the household, each family will divide some.

As for whether to eat it, make seeds, or even sell it to the county restaurant after it is divided, it is up to each family to decide, and the village does not interfere.

But at the same time, the village chief made another announcement.

At this time next year, when it is estimated that the longevity fruit will be ripe, the village will hold a national family search conference, and at that time, there will be many, many outsiders in the village, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be in the village.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew in their hearts that the village chief meant that there would be many people in Huhui who would buy longevity fruits next year, and the price would definitely be higher than this year. Outsiders, I've never seen these at all, I must want to try them.

In this way, the village spontaneously divided into several factions.

Some people think that next year will be too early, and it is only serious to get the silver first. The shops at the entrance of the village that are about to be built, whether they rent or sell, they will have dividends when the time comes, and they are not afraid of not having any money.

Some people think that it is better to keep all the long-lived fruits they have been allocated, plant them all next year, and sell them to those outsiders at a high price when the time comes. In this way, although I waited for a year, I was able to make a lot of money in the end.

Others believe that there is no shortage of money at home to buy rice for the pot, and that food, clothing, housing and transportation are very good, and after distributing the longevity fruit, take some to give to relatives, eat some for themselves, and if there are any, plant some.

Even if you can't sell it for money, you can eat it yourself.

In short, each family has their own plans because of the different circumstances of the family. However, Chen Jifa doesn't care about this.

He first carefully calculated the population of the village, which was only more than 700 last year, but this year there are 921 people, an increase of nearly 200 people. In other words, in one year, there are more than 200 daughters-in-law and newborn children.

Regardless of the standard of living, just looking at the number of people and the growth rate, Chenjiacun Ye is a well-deserved super village.

After calculating the number of people, Chen Jifa went door-to-door to check and register on the spot, for fear of remembering the wrong person. It's a matter of longevity, and no one doesn't care. If something goes wrong, it's a shame.

Since Chen Qianfan started his internship in the county government, Ye often reminded him that he should do this, he can't do this, and in short, he can't touch Chen Qianfan in the dark.

Even his father-in-law, who was above the top, came to the house in person, and told the family not to drag Chen Qianfan back, and went to the county academy to see Chen Qianfan, and bluntly said that there was any need.

This has never happened before.

Half a month later, the longevity fruit was ripe, and the villagers spontaneously gathered at the edge of the field, and every household went out to prepare to start digging the longevity fruit.

Just like last year, the shopkeepers of the major restaurants who rushed to hear the news had already prepared the silver and were ready to use all their resources to buy some more longevity fruits. They bought some of them last year, and they were so popular that they sold out in less than a few months.

It's just a pity that they are all destined to be disappointed this year.

When I heard Chen Jifa say that it would not be sold this year, the shopkeepers all looked at each other.

Seeing that the shopkeepers were very unhappy and anxious, Chen Jifa was afraid that something would go wrong, so he had to patiently explain again: "Everyone, it was my slip of the tongue just now, I'll explain it to everyone." It's not that it won't be sold, but this year is a special situation. I think you also know that next year our village will hold a national family search conference, and the county magistrate will let us try to be as many as possible next year, so as not to be disappointed that the guests who come from afar cannot buy the longevity fruit. ”

"Then sell it at last year's ratio and keep the seeds."

"yes, yes."

Chen Jifa didn't care about this, "So, this year, we will divide the longevity fruit evenly according to the head." When the time comes, if anyone is willing to sell, it is okay for you to go door to door and collect it. ”

Naturally, they knew the news, so they wanted to buy more and go back to the store. Even if you don't dry anything, just dry it and store it, and sell it next year at a high price.

Only, how did this small mountain village know this news?

Then I figured it out, not to mention that this conference will be carried out on other people's territory, isn't the son of the village chief in front of me studying with the county magistrate in the county government now?

People go in and out of the county government from time to time, and the news will only be more reliable than them. The thought that they could not buy in piles but had to go door to door to collect them made everyone a little discouraged. It's also too much trouble.

But immediately, as if he thought of something, he hurriedly took the carriage back, not because he didn't want to buy it, but because he went back to prepare for manpower.

Seeing that these big shopkeepers had left, Chen Jifa breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Qianfan told him many times that these shopkeepers can't be lazy, because the forces behind them are not caused by him, at least not yet.

Take Lingyunlou as an example, the forces behind the people are now officials in the imperial court. In short, it's either rich or expensive.

When all the long-lived fruits of the twenty acres of land were harvested, they were picked clean, and once they were weighed, a total of 8,000 catties. Looking at the neatly arranged baskets and the white and fat longevity fruits, Chen Jifa was a little reluctant, but this was the general trend and there was no way to do it.

Thinking of this, he finally asked: "I'll ask everyone again, do we divide all the heads according to the head, or do we leave some seeds and divide them." ”

He had counted it before, and it turned out that everyone was unwilling to keep the collective seeds, and all of them were divided and distributed by themselves. In the face of interests, people are always like this, they can't see the long-term, they only see the present.

Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Chen Jifa naturally knew what everyone meant. After thinking about it, he had to say: "Okay, let's do it according to what we discussed before, and it's all done." It's just that the ugly words are ahead......"

But it is not impossible to say this. Now that it's over, there's no guarantee that someone will squander it anytime soon. In the next year, when I see someone else's family, I will only be blushing and even cause trouble.

"After a while, these longevity fruits will be divided, and if anyone takes them all and sells them, eats them, gives them away, and comes back next year to ask for seeds, it will be impossible. You know better than anyone else how precious this fruit is. If anyone dares to make trouble because of this, I will make the decision to expel them from Chenjia Village and never return to settle down. ”

I have to say that Chen Jifa is still a powerful person, and the village chief for so many years has not been in vain, so he naturally knows that some people are the most scoundrels, and they will get the longevity fruit for a while, and they will definitely not be able to withstand the temptation of the high price of those shopkeepers, maybe they will all be sold for silver.

Some people are greedy, and no matter how much they are, they can't stand up to daily consumption. There are also people who have a good face, and maybe their relatives at home will give up as soon as they come to the door. However, next year, when I see someone else planting it, and sell it at a high price, I may be jealous again and find trouble in the village.

He is not afraid of these people making trouble at all, what he is afraid of is that he will lose his son's face if he can't handle it.

Next year, Chen Qianfan will officially take the big test, whether he can go further is Chen Qianfan's ability and ability, but whether he can handle the affairs of the village is his ability.

Hearing this, everyone said that they were not such scoundrels, and that everyone in the village could testify. Hearing this, Chen Jifa was relieved. Anyway, everyone today can testify, and if they are really expelled from the village, it will really outweigh the losses.

It's just that I'm not a fool, from today on, An An will live separately, and a good life will be able to find it by itself.

Seeing that everyone understood, Chen Jifa said loudly: "Everyone also saw it just now, and this time the village got a total of 8,000 catties of immortal fruits. Our village now has a total population of 921 people. So, to make sure everyone gets a share, I read again how many people are in each household. Once we have confirmed that everything is correct, we will start to divide the long-growing fruits. ”

Everyone expressed their gratitude and respect for Chen Jifa's caution and carefulness, isn't it necessary to be careful and careful in a big event like this?

After reading for a long time, everyone heard that the number of people in their family was right, and then it was correct. Then, Chen Jifa asked Ye Feng for help to calculate how much silver one person could share. Fan Jifei's arithmetic is the best in the village, fast and accurate, but complex numbers like this are beyond his ability.

If he wants to calculate, he doesn't know how long it will take, and it may not be accurate.

In fact, this time he didn't sell peanuts but divided them in this way, which is what Ye Feng meant. Because the situation of each family is different, there is no need to forcibly tie everyone together.

He had long heard that some people in the village had raised enough money, so he waited for the shops at the entrance of the village to go on sale and bought them. After large and small wedding banquets and birthday banquets, the people in the Yaya Township Kitchen did not hide their secrets, and now the housewives in the village have basically learned a variety of practices about the longevity fruit.

Those who buy a shop think that they will launch related food. But if they are all sold, what will these people do business with?

Common prosperity is too difficult, it is better to divide the way. Anyway, the foundation has been laid for everyone, and the future road depends on their abilities.

As for Chen Jixing's family, there is no need to worry.

Last year, his family earned more than 300 catties of dried peanuts alone. Ye thought about his mother's family in his heart, and as soon as he discussed with Chen Jixing, he took back fifty catties. Coupled with all kinds of consumption, when sowing seeds this year, Chen Jixing's family still planted five acres of land.

Because they were planted earlier than in the village, Chen Jixing's peanuts were dried at the moment and hidden in the warehouse early. I weighed it before I put it in, and it was 1,200 catties. These peanuts are all plump, and they are all slowly picked out by Chen Jixing's family.

As for the small ones that are not full, they are all picked out for everyone's daily consumption.

Ye Feng silently calculated in his heart for a while, and then said: "Eight and a half catties for one person, let's divide it according to this number." ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't have any doubts, after all, Ye Feng's family didn't participate in this distribution at all, there was no need to cheat, and they all began to quickly calculate in their hearts how many immortal fruits their family could get this time.

Chen Jicong's family is just ten people, which is exactly eighty-five pounds. After getting this figure, he quickly ran to Ye Feng and asked, "According to seven taels of silver per catty, how much silver is eighty-five catties?" After speaking, there was a look of anticipation.

"It's five hundred and ninety-five taels of silver, Uncle Cong." Ye Feng replied seriously.

"You mean, the difference is five taels of silver and six hundred taels?" Chen Jicong was a little stunned, this is a lot of silver, plus the silver in the family, he is also a rich man.

"Yes," Ye Feng said.

This year's output is slightly more, so several shopkeepers are only willing to pay seven taels of silver a catty. The villagers, who had no market and no way to transport it to other places, agreed to the price.

Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar, and some people with more than ten people in the family had a number in their hearts, and they would only get more silver than Chen Jicong's family.

"Although the village elder has said it many times, I still want to say that this year's longevity fruit is seven taels of silver a catty, but next year I can promise everyone that it will be at least eight taels of silver a catty. So, let's try to keep some seeds. Ye Feng said seriously.

As soon as next year's family tracing meeting is held, many people are bound to come.

At present, after the early publicity, many people know about Qingshan County and Chenjia Village. According to Shirachi, he received reliable information that many businessmen would come here to do business.

Needless to say, the delicious longevity fruit will definitely make their jaws drop and surprise their taste buds.

Therefore, the price of longevity will only be higher. It would be a pity if you covet immediate benefits and miss the opportunity to make a fortune next year.

However, this matter cannot be forced, after all, every family has its own actual situation. Although the silver was divided last year, many people chose to build a new house, marry a daughter-in-law, have children, and marry a daughter, spending a lot of money.

asked them to buy a shop, thinking that one was hesitating, and the other was that it was estimated that it would be a lot worse.

However, you can consider renting a shop.

And if the elixir fruit is sold or sold some, the family will not only have money in savings, but also their lives will be greatly improved.

The villagers of Chenjia Village have a habit, that is, if there is no silver at home, they are always unsteady in their hearts, and they always feel that this is not safe.

Anyway, he and the village chief have already made it clear, and the relationship between them has also been made clear, as for how to choose, they don't want to care, and they can't care.
