Chapter 118: Desire to Enjoy the Happiness of Civilization
In fact, when Xu Wenshan was recruiting, he had already found that money was a little difficult to use. His money can only impress those who are struggling to make ends meet, and it will not work well for those who have some money to spare.
One or two people have already suggested to him that it is better to ask for his family's land than for his family's money.
This is because this whole area is a deep-rooted agricultural civilization, and the carriage of capital has not yet run, and these people have no place to spend even if they make money, so money is far less attractive to them than a piece of land.
In order to fundamentally solve this problem, we must not build an industrial system in order to absorb the sudden expansion of capital.
But Xu Wenshan can't solve this problem at present, so he can only use a method that treats the symptoms but not the root cause: developing the tertiary industry.
For these three industries, Xu Wenshan, who was a liberal arts student in his previous life, understands it this way: the primary industry is to make you full, the second industry is to make you money, and the third industry is to let you spend money.
If you don't spend money, how can you be motivated to make money?
Mention of the tertiary sector...... Well, Xu Wenshan's first thought was to sell meat.
Well, and gambling.
The disadvantages of gambling far outweigh the advantages, and it was directly passed in Xu Wenshan's mind; Food and color are human nature, ** This ancient industry has indeed been in Xu Wenshan's mind for a long time, and he wants to implement it more than once, but he still hesitates.
Because this road has been traveled before.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang wantonly set up official prostitutes - mainly this is also a financial revenue - in order to lead the folk trend, Zhu Yuanzhang even allowed officials to use official prostitutes, which led to the formation of the court in the early Ming Dynasty The atmosphere of "teaching the workshop division to go first after work" was formed, and later it was really corrupt and made a bad scene, so it was forbidden to ban officials.
Now the tea shed where Ah Fa is sitting is like a train, which crashed into Xu Wenshan's train of thought: Who said that the current tertiary industry must be something that does not enter the stream? Are cigarettes, alcohol, and tea different from making money?
And don't you have the most advanced sake of this era?
So let's just use this as the last bottle of fuel to start the wagon.
β¦β¦
Xu Jing has been in Luhegou for more than half a month.
She was originally a young lady from an official family, and she was supposed to live a life of fine clothes and food, but she was inexplicably abducted to this mountain village.
In the first few days, she was really angry. Not only because she was under house arrest, but also because she didn't see the true face of Xu Wenshan, a thief, and actually had a trace of illusion about him.
After living in his house for a while, she completely understood that this Xu Wenshan was a villain! Every day, his maid named Lu Ze stared at him, guarding himself like a thief.
What is it to treat people with the heart of a villain, what is it if you are not a villain?
Fortunately, after a while, Xu Wenshan's little thief was also busy, and she couldn't take care of herself, so she had more free space.
After living in this village for a while, Xu Jing realized that the things she ate were all grown in this way, and the things she used needed to work so hard to make.
In the past, her food and clothing were always available, so she never realized where these things came from, and always thought that these seemed to fall from the sky. After witnessing the life of the villagers in this village for a period of time, she realized that all these things were slowly bitter after stitches and threads.
At this time, she gradually understood why Xu Wenshan asked herself before: "Why don't you work?" β
Although she still does not work, she gradually begins to understand that she may have been a little naΓ―ve in the past, because everyone she saw in Luhegou was working.
There is no one who does not work, except himself.
She gradually understood a truth: everyone has to work, if someone does not work, it means that someone has taken your share of labor for you.
She lives in Xu's house, although she can't say that she is at ease, but because the food is Xu Wenshan's thief's, she is not ashamed.
Who told him to abduct himself here? Otherwise, she would be much more comfortable living at home than here.
There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and every day is like a mold carved out, day after day, she gradually loses her sense of time and begins to enjoy this peaceful life.
But at this time, Xu Wenshan broke all the peace again, and after he announced that he was going to attack Fengshi Village, the entire village, all the villagers, began to change.
The first half of the month when Xu Wenshan announced the conquest of Fengshi Village was the freshest half month in Luhegou. In those short ten days, the villagers of Luhegou seemed to be tied up by a rope, and everyone was strung together.
In the past, everyone lived their lives piecemeal, but in the past half a month, everyone seems to have been pinched into a group and started to do things together.
However, this period of time soon went away with the deer and crane escort team, and everyone returned to their old days.
However, once Xu Wenshan returned, Luhegou, who had just calmed down for half a month, faintly showed signs of change.
There are a lot of people in the village who don't know each other, these people are sneaky, I heard that some of them are robbers, and they have killed people.
People who had lived all their lives in their fields had been driven out of their homes, dragged their families with them, built improvised huts, and had nowhere to tell their suffering.
Some desperate farmer really can't go to work as laborers, and when he hears that he goes home every night, he is so tired that he can't even speak.
These are all things that Xu Jing saw in her eyes or heard from others. She inquired behind her back, but found that these had something to do with Xu Wenshan's thief!
Xu Jing thinks that it is Xu Wenshan's kid who is playing ghosts.
He made a mess of the originally clean and clear Luhe Gully, and there must be some conspiracy behind this.
Xu Jing decided to confront Xu Wenshan in person.
Xu Wenshan's little thief hasn't been back to Xu's mansion for a long time, but I heard that he will go back once tonight.
She didn't have many opportunities.
β¦β¦
Xu Wenshan returned to the house in a hurry, and after seeing his father and aunts, he was about to go back to his room to pack up his things and leave, when suddenly a person stopped in front of him.
It's Xu Jing.
"What's your plot?"
Xu Wenshan was obviously unprepared for these brainless words: "What...... What the? β
"You were the one who made the original more than 30 tenants of the Xu family unemployed, right? You were the one who brought those robbers into the village, right? You also helped those honest farmers build houses for you, right? β
When asking these words, Xu Jing's voice trembled slightly.
She suddenly forgot why she wanted justice for these villagers, and she was not from here.
But she still stubbornly asked:
"What's in it for you to make these people homeless and terrified all day long?"
Xu Wenshan looked at the girl in front of him who was so nervous that he was panting unevenly, and felt a little funny.
In fact, for these questions, he can reply with "no comment", which will be a lot less troublesome.
However, he still couldn't help but say to Xu Jing, as if telling himself: "This may be, 'If you want to enjoy the happiness of civilization, you must first go through the pain of civilization'." β
