Chapter Ninety-Four: City Fox Society Rat
Although there are few lacquer cutters, these people are like seeds, and when they take back the lacquer and sell it for money, more and more people follow.
Wen Jin's lacquer shop also came into being at this time.
This is just the beginning, the daily output is still very small, Wen Jin can't go to the provincial capital for this little thing, the raw lacquer collected is sold to a merchant in Fucheng, the profit is very low, the daily income, only about 100 yuan, in order to liberate himself, Wen Jin handed over the raw lacquer business to Mingshan to take care of: "Uncle Mingshan, I will never let you be just a small shopkeeper with a few hundred Wen a month in the future." ”
"I believe you came." Mingshan said resolutely, and Wen Jin went to Shiwei Village with confidence.
Qian Xiancheng is now, not only helping Wen Jin take care of the lotus pond and nursery, but also taking care of the medicine, although he resolutely opposes his nephew's business, but when Wen Jin is really too busy, he can't bear to stand by and watch, this person is like this, there is no principle in doing things.
Wen Jin was full of emotion, it is really a blessing and a curse, a blessing and a blessing, everything has both good and bad sides, the second uncle's unprincipled is even a good time.
Wen Jin's canal was repaired, the pond was dug in place, Wei Chenglan led people, pulled a lot of cement and spread it at the bottom of the pond to prevent seepage, all this was done, and the waterwheel sent the river water over.
Wen Jin last year in the provincial capital, bought some water chestnut, water chestnut and other seeds, carefully planted to the pond, she thought carefully, so much land, want to fertilize the field, but also have to raise pigs and cattle, these aquatic plants, grow fast, high yield, is the best way to solve the feed problem. The lotus seeds are not worried about selling, but she is really worried that the duck eggs will be unsalable one day.
There is a Dongshe village in the east of Shiwei Village, which has faced a difficult situation in the past two years, like other people along the river, but the people in the village are scattered and scattered, each with their own small abacus, and still grows buckwheat with little hope. Looking at the thin and wilting seedlings in the field, no one is not in a hurry, they have also sat together to discuss, but unfortunately the people in the village are fleeing and settled here, seven or eight hundred people, there are more than 20 surnames, the same surname is not a clan, discuss together, do not let each other, all want others to contribute, their own stained, Li Zheng is just a Huang Township official, only to sit in this position, there is no prestige in the village at all, only by the power of the yamen, forced to press down, quarrel for two months, see that there is no hope, some people have other thoughts.
In the family adjacent to Wen Jin's land, there was a person named Gao Leizi who brought a box of snacks over: "Brother Qian, can you let me water the water in your pond?" I'll give you twenty cents at a time. ”
"No, my pond is not enough to water myself."
"Brother Qian, we are neighbors, the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, your waterwheel is turning, the water is coming, you don't have to make a contribution, you can still have money to collect, such a good thing, why don't you agree?"
Wen Jin doesn't even know how this person's head grows, is it possible that in his eyes, everyone else is a fool? She said unhappily: "My pig's manure is all in the pond." ”
"You have such a big pond and only a little more pig manure, you don't even want to collect money for this, do you?"
Wen Jin laughed angrily: "Hehe, I didn't plan to collect money." ”
"Then you promised me to use water?"
"I want to tell you, go home with your snacks, see who is willing to do such a good deed, who you find, the water in my pond is not enough for my own use, let's go."
"You, you, don't toast and don't eat and drink."
Wen Jin stood up: "I'll tell you, don't think about any crooked ideas, if I have the slightest loss here, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”
"Humph!" Gao Leizi didn't take Wen Jin's threat seriously at all.
Since Wen Jin began to feed the pigs with bean seedlings, Gao Leizi also went to buy two piglets, and now they have grown to half an age, and it is the time to eat them, and the beans that Wen Jin is east of have been trampled up.
Wen Jin didn't do anything with him, so the current threat naturally had no effect.
If you don't give a little bit of power, you won't know how many eyes Lord Ma has. Wen Jin is just not ruthless enough to do it, this Gao Leizi is becoming more and more rampant, and he dares to come to the door.
Is it tolerable or unbearable, Wen Jin clenched his fists.
Gao Leizi looked at Wen Jin with disdain: "Brother Qian, I advise you to know each other better, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors." ”
Well, this sentence originally meant that neighbors helped each other, but he was okay and became a threat to each other.
"Is Wen Jin at home?" Shi Zhenzong came.
Gao Leizi's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly picked up the snack: "If you don't want me to water the ground, forget it, leave." ”
This kind of person, Wen Jin didn't dare to let go of her heart, she sent out the door, not with respect and politeness, but - don't lose anything. The village wind in Dongshe Village is particularly bad, the hands and feet of the whole village are not clean, and when they go to other people's land, they see melons, fruits and vegetables, and they will "smooth" their hands to pick them away when they seize the opportunity.
This is also one of the reasons why the people of Shiwei Village generously gave Wen Jin 2,000 acres of land.
Of course, now that he has been with Wen Jin for a long time, Shi Zhenzong regrets it, although it was a decision made by a few older people in the village, he still felt that he had no face to see Wen Jin. Today I also heard that Gao Leizi from Dongshe Village went to Wen Jin's house, so he hurried over to see what was going on, but he didn't expect to run into it at the door.
Gao Leizi and Wen Jin's faces were not good, and Shi Zhenzong immediately understood what was going on.
"Gao Leizi, if you dare to touch a single hair of the little brother Qian, I will make you unable to get up for the rest of your life."
Gao Leizi nodded again and again: "No, where would I do something like that." "While people are not paying attention, I quickly slipped away.
A few years ago, Shi Zhenzong was still young, but his martial arts were small, his father was not there, and the Hou family was not very able to manage it, he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he did not let the people in the village worry less.
After Shi Zhenzong knew about the theft of things by the Dongshe people, he often took a few friends to hide in this field, and once he caught the thief, he would fight him to death. Although no one was killed, not even disabled, there were still two people with broken arms and legs, and the people of Dongshe Village did not dare to sue him if they made mistakes first, and they did not even dare to mention compensation. The government doesn't support it, in this era, if a thief is killed, he doesn't have to take responsibility, let alone just get injured? No one in Dongshe Village is not afraid of Shi Zhenzong.
Now that I heard that this land was sold to someone else, the people of Dongshe Village are ready to move again. Especially after seeing Wen Jin's bean seedlings, which are a hundred times more energetic than their buckwheat seedlings.
Wen Jin has long wanted to solve the trouble of his neighbor to the east, but he has never had a suitable way.
Unexpectedly, disaster is not a one-way street, and a bigger trouble comes to the door.
Zhao Lituo Huang Township was a Chinese and wanted Wen Jin to give him 500 acres of land. The price is okay - five hundred taels of silver, the condition is that Wen Jin helps take care of it, and it is divided into three or seven per year, he is seven, and Wen Jin is three.
This is an obvious forced buying and selling, can Wen Jin not agree to it? But she didn't want to agree, and she must not agree.
I promised Zhao Li today, and I have to promise Huang Township Officials tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, maybe Master Sun will also come, and in the end, she doesn't leave an acre of land, and she is still trapped here, becoming someone else's worker.
Before Wen Jin could think of a countermeasure, Huang Xiangguan came to the door again: "Brother Qian, what are you thinking about?" ”
"Huang Xiangzhi, come into the house and sit, how about the oil tea I just fried, how about tasting it?"
Huang Xiangyi couldn't help but smile, how could he not be happy about this kind of good thing that he even eats and takes? However, Wen Jin's little favor, he hasn't taken a fancy to it yet.
The weather became more and more sultry, and neither of them entered the house, so they sat down on the stone table and stool on the front porch, and Wen Jin served herbal tea: "Lotus heart tea, it's a little bitter, but it can clear the heat and defeat the fire. ”
Huang Xiangyi even thinks that Wen Jin is a good child, he has eyes, and he will come to trouble.
"Brother Qian, the last time I came, what happened to me?"
"I'm not going to sell land."
Huang Xiangyi's face immediately pulled down, he was so upset, he was waiting for Zhao Li to break through Qian Wenjin's barrier so that he could get a piece of the pie.
"Huang Xiangyi, you are a master, extremely smart, why don't you persuade Lord Zhao not to limit your vision to my small one-third of an acre?"
Without waiting for Huang Xiangyi to speak, Wen Jin pointed to the east: "I heard that Huang Xiangyi has always had a headache about the security over there, why don't you think of a way?" Although I can't sell the land, I can help you take care of it, and I still won't refuse. ”
Huang Xiangyi's brows furrowed, after thinking for a while, he suddenly understood what Wen Jin meant, and sneered twice: "Brother Qian didn't see it, he is still a master." ”
"Huang Xiangzhi, don't tease me, I haven't grown tall, I'm worried to death, you still tell jokes like this-"
"Hahaha......" Huang laughed, "I didn't mean you're tall. ”
He stood up: "Okay, as long as I promise to help take care of it, I will thank you in advance for this kindness." ”
Wen Jin's bean field, close to the Dongshe side, has already made people cut several acres of bean seedlings, she doesn't need to check to know that Gao Leizi's youngest son has made great contributions.
Since Wen Jin refused Gao Leizi's request, this guy saw that she didn't make any moves, and became more and more bold, he simply went to the market and bought three little pigs, and the daily feed was Wen Jin's bean seedlings.
At the beginning, some people asked Gao Leizi to restrain themselves, but seeing that the pigs in Gao Leizi's pigsty were getting bigger and bigger, Wen Jin could only be angry, and the people in Dongshe Village who were close to Wen Jin's plot couldn't help but be tempted, and they bought piglets.
To the east of the Wenjin plot, there was soon an open space from south to north, nearly seven or eight zhang.
Wen Jin was so angry that he didn't even go to check, and after Shi Zhenzong heard about it, he took someone over to check, grabbed Gao Leizi's nephew, beat him violently, and sent him back.
The people in Dongshe Village suddenly calmed down, but Wen Jin's vacant land still increased by two or three feet a day, and the thieves changed to start in the middle of the night. On this day, Wen Jin was fiddling with bamboo utensils at home, and Huang Township officials came over with a few people. "You reported that there was a **** bean field, is it still like that?"
