When the meal was ready and the wine was warm, everyone sat around two low tables, seven or eight people at one table, Liu An brought some food to Cui's room, and sat down as well.

He first raised a glass to everyone present, and then recognized everyone's hard work and ability, and then beckoned everyone to eat and drink.

After drinking for a while, Liu An asked everyone: "Do you have any suggestions for the future development of the manor?" ”

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, no one dares to be the first to speak, or Liu Bei, who seems to be the first person other than Liu An, stood up first and said:

"Uncle, now the manor is in ruins, although the people have food to eat, but there is no stable money and income, I think that we should trade with the outside world and establish stable trade routes, which is the way to long-term development."

"Xuande's words are reasonable, but where do the trade goods come from?"

"The uncle can buy back horses, cattle and sheep from the border counties and sell them to the interior, and the inland lacks horses, cattle and sheep, and the price is much higher than that of the border counties. And the price of grain and cloth in the interior is lower than that of the border counties, and the price difference is earned back and forth, and the people who travel from the north and south all follow this way. ”

"Hmm......" Liu An always thought about relying on the system and making money by selling system prizes, but he never thought of a serious way to make money.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu An said: "It's feasible." But this matter needs to wait a little longer, and now the manor is still under construction, and the fields have not been cultivated, and a large number of young and strong merchants will be sucked away at once, which will delay the construction and cultivation progress of the manor. In addition, it is necessary to find a source of cloth, if you buy cloth at the market price and sell it in the north, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Liu An didn't plan to sell the grain to the border, he didn't have enough to feed the victims, so how could he send it to the border to sell.

Liu An looked at Liu Bei, who was the most capable in the field, and said: "Xuande, you have made friends all over the world, and the matter of finding the source of goods will be handed over to you, but even if you find grain that is cheaper than the Zhen family, it can't be used for business, and you can buy it all and put it in the village." ”

"No!"

Next, Liu An looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”

"I thought that another person should be arranged to manage the affairs of agriculture and mulberry, there are many things in the field, and there are as many as hundreds of people cultivating the fields...... Beyond one's power! Qu Ze stood up and said ashamedly.

Liu An saw that Qu Ze didn't seem to be a fake, so he said, "Feng Yan, you and Qu Ze are jointly responsible for the affairs of the field. ”

"No!" Feng Yan responded.

"Anything else?" Liu An asked again.

Zuo Wei stood up and said: "I think that the training of the patrol team should be strengthened, and it is impossible to protect the safety of the manor if you are weak and have poor force." ”

Liu An thought about it, now that everyone in the village can eat enough, they can indeed start training, so he agreed to this matter and let Zuo Wei be fully responsible.

At this time, Wang Zhi stood up and said: "I think that all the land of the manor should be divided according to the region, and the specific area occupied by the cultivated land, the amount of housing land, and the land occupied by the livestock farm should be divided where, and it cannot continue to be unplanned as it is now. ”

"It makes sense, wait until I think about it......" Liu An agreed with Wang Zhi's proposal, and began to think about how to divide it specifically.

He can only do this by himself, and he can't fake it to others, and no one else can see how many seeds, fertilizers, and animals are in the inventory.

After thinking for a while, Liu An picked up a branch, drew a manor frame on the ground, and then pointed to a place and said to the king:

"In the mountainous area here, a 10-acre plot is set aside for planting fruit trees, 170 acres next to it is used for farming, and 20 acres next to it is used to build a livestock farm."

At this time, half of the manor area was demarcated, and Liu An pointed to the top of the livestock farm:

"Set aside 40 acres of land here to build a horse farm, and the rest will be used as a residential area, if it is still impossible to resettle everyone, then buy land and build a private house outside the manor."

Wang Zhi looked at it, and the location divided by Liu An was just right for the area that had been used in the manor, and there was no conflict, so he responded: "No! ”

Liu An asked again, but no one proposed, so he looked at Wang Zhi and asked, "How is the construction of the grain shop?" ”

Wang Zhi stood up and said, "Back to the farmer, the grain shop was built yesterday, and today we have arranged for people to start selling rice at the market price." ”

Since the inner circle of Liu's manor was built, the villagers have all called themselves the people of Liu's manor, and the title of Liu An has gradually been unified as the owner of the village.

"Very good!" Liu An praised.

After that, Liu An told everyone about his preparation to leave for Zhongshan again tomorrow.

Originally, he was waiting for Liu Ming to come back, but now that the novice protection period has expired, he needs to come up with a reasonable reason for the strange thing.

Since Liu Ming has come back today, and the next crop planting will have to wait for more than 20 days, he plans to leave tomorrow and go to Zhongshan again.

After some discussion, Liu An decided that Liu Bei, Liu Ming, Chen Zhao, Wei Chuan, Guo Hai, and the other four dead soldiers would follow him to Zhongshan early tomorrow morning.

After everything was done, everyone should eat and drink, and they became familiar with each other.

Later, Liu An also took the duck wings extracted today and distributed them to everyone, Liu An personally felt that this duck wing could not be bought at a price, so it was better to eat it himself than to take it and sell it.

Of course, Liu An did not forget to send two pairs of duck wings to his mother, and the rest was divided.

Everyone was full of praise for the duck wings, and while the spicy Sihasha screamed, they kept gnawing on the flesh attached to the bones.

After being full of wine and food, the time had just reached dusk, Liu Anmu sent everyone back to the manor in a carriage, and bid farewell to Liu Ming and Liu Bei, and prepared to go to his mother's house to explain to him about going south tomorrow.

But at this time, I heard the system's prompt tone.

[Ding - Main Quest: Complete the quest to run the first grain shop in the manor, and reward 20 manor contributions.]

Released the main quest: Run your first cloth shop in the manor. Requires at least 20 cloth trades to be completed, and 20 manor contribution points will be rewarded. ]

Cloth shop?

This task cannot be completed for the time being, most of the people in the village have no money, only those 23 people can earn some wages every day, and they can barely eat, how can they have money to buy cloth?

Putting aside the main quest for the time being, Liu An looked at the 26 contribution points he currently had, thought about it, and decided to wait until he had saved up 50 points to have a ten-in-a-row draw of the manor lottery plate.

Closing the system panel, Liu An knocked on Cui's door.

Now the wooden house is still under construction, and Cui's family still lives in that earthen house, but Liu An said that he wanted to add food here, so he asked the people who built the house to go back first.

Cui Shi opened the door and let Liu An in.

He turned around and picked up the needle and thread on the bed, let Liu An sit on the bed, and mended the loose thread on his clothes.

Just now she heard the conversation outside the house, and knew that her son was leaving tomorrow, and Liu An was now wearing the same set she bought more than ten days ago.

The line has not been loosened before, and tomorrow my son will travel far away, and it is always right to check again.

After repairing a few places, Cui Shi saw that all other places were fine, so he picked up a bag and handed it to Liu Andao:

"Inside are the clean clothes for the mother, you bring a change of clothes. I didn't even have a change of clothes when I went out last time, but this time I can't be wronged anymore. ”

"Thank you mother, my son will go home as soon as possible after finishing his errands, mother can rest assured." Liu An said with a smile.
