Chapter 14: The Ancestors
Liu Fan brought a gift to meet the ancestor, the ancestor was not Liu Fan's ancestor, but the ancestor of the Lin family, everyone in the village was her junior, as the only foreign surname in the village, Liu Fan did not regard himself as an outsider.
The old ancestor is really an old ancestor, and it is a miracle to live to be more than eighty years old in this era, no, the name of the old ancestor is worthy of it whether it is in Wannian County or Chang'an City, and some people call it auspicious.
Although Li Er will not come to see her, he will still send some things over for the New Year after taking power.
Although the old ancestor is old, his spirit is not old, his eyes are bright, and when he saw Liu Fan coming, he smiled and said: "Liu family boy, why did you come to see the old man today?" ”
Liu Fan smiled: "You are the treasure of our village, I want to see you if I have nothing to do!" ”
After saying that, as soon as he put the things down, naturally a boy took it and sent it into the house, the younger generation honored the elders, there was nothing to refuse, after all, even the palace sent things, this little scene is not worth mentioning.
Liu Fan walked behind the old ancestor, pinched her shoulder, and said while pinching her shoulder: "Old ancestor, what do you think of our village?" ”
"Poor, but Datang is poor!" The Old Ancestor shook his head.
Liu Fan said again: "Actually, our village is slowly starting to improve now, several families are doing business, and each family also shared some money yesterday!" ”
"There are a total of 25 families in our village, and those seven families make money, and the others have come to talk to me!" The old ancestor said without hesitation.
"Hee-hee! You can make money, but not now, you have to wait! Liu Fan said with a grin.
"I've broken the threshold! If you don't come today, I want to see you in these two days! The old ancestor said lightly.
Liu Fan didn't know how to answer for a while, the first time this grandmother saw her was not bad, if she forced herself to take everyone to make money together, then there was really no need to talk about today's conversation.
The Old Ancestor continued, "Don't worry, kid! You can do whatever you want, these people, they just can't see the good of others, besides, they have seven families, can they forget them? They're thin-eyed people! ”
Liu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he was also suspicious of the identity of the ancestor at the moment, how could this kind of mind be an old lady in the countryside, it was really incredible.
The old ancestor patted the back of Liu Fan's hand, signaled that he didn't need to press it anymore, pulled Liu Fan to his side and said earnestly: "Child, although I don't know what you have experienced, but you have indeed grown a lot better than in previous years, and now your brain is bright, but the more you are at this time, the more cautious you must be, you must not get carried away, many people, just die on the four words get carried away!" ”
Liu Fan nodded, and a trace of warmth in his heart warmed his entire chest.
"What the old ancestor said, the younger generation has written it down!" Liu Fan nodded heavily and said.
Only then did the old ancestor say with a smile on his face: "Say, what is the matter with looking for the old decay today!" ”
"It's such an old ancestor, in fact, I think every family is poor, but it's not bad, it's just the lack of a unified management person, it's actually difficult to say that the village is prosperous, but it's actually simple to say, just need to cooperate, and then the first thing I want to do is to renovate the houses, it doesn't cost much, I can afford it!"
"My request was simple, it had to be clean and tidy, and I had to plant trees and things like that, and they had to be planted along both sides of the road!"
"What's so special about this tree?"
"Yes, it is neat and uniform, and the village must be fenced off to make the village a scenic spot, and it is a place where others want to come and play! Only if someone is willing to come and play, our village can make money, otherwise we can't make much money from those small stalls! ”
"You can make money with this kind of tree?" The old lady felt a little unimaginable.
"Naturally not, in addition to planting trees, it must be clean, everyone must wash their hands, take a bath every day, and every household must have a special snack, which is not necessarily how delicious or even special, but there must be! Although I dare not say how long such a village can be rich, I will still be able to eat and drink enough for a few lifetimes! Liu Fan said with confidence.
In fact, what Liu Fan is thinking about now is the concept of a new socialist countryside with characteristics created by Huaxia in his previous life, which is an extremely great idea, although it can not affect the overall environment now, but it is more than wrong to transform a small village, and the geographical location of this village is also very good, the four seasons are distinct all year round, and it is an excellent place for transformation in all aspects.
The old ancestor had never heard of this kind of idea, but he felt that it made sense, so he asked, "What do you need to do from the old decay?" ”
"Let them cooperate with me, let's work together to make this place better!" Liu Fan said firmly.
The old ancestor pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, then do as you say, our village is really too poor, and now that someone has started, they have to cooperate, if you don't cooperate, don't talk crookedly all day long, it's annoying to listen!" After speaking, he waved his hand in disgust.
Liu Fan was immediately annoyed by the old lady's cute appearance, squatted in front of her and said, "Ancestor, believe me, this must be the most beautiful place in Datang in the future!" ”
The old ancestor smiled: "I don't know if I can wait until that day!" ”
"You're in such good health, you must be able to wait, soon, soon you will be able to see, and when the time comes, you will be able to wake up smiling when you sleep!"
The old lady laughed when Liu Fan amused her.
......
In a salt field, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the scene of labor, frowned and asked, "How much salt is produced now?" ”
"Lord Qiyu, now the salt field has produced nearly 100 stones per day according to the new salt refining method!"
"It's not enough!" The eldest grandson Wuji said dissatisfiedly.
"It's... This is already the result of the salt mill refining salt day and night! "The officials below are sweating on their foreheads, is this thing saying that it can be fast? The delicate work is enough for three or four people to take care of it.
The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said: "Let's do this first, take a good look at the people, let them not talk nonsense, this kind of salt refining method must not be passed on!" ”
"Whoa!"
On the way back, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly popped up in his mind Liu Fan, who had seen Liu Fan from afar when he was arresting Luo Yi before, and he was gray at the time, but now he has come up with this method, and he doesn't know how many people to pit, the butcher's knife in His Majesty's hand has already been raised, just waiting for a certain day to cut somewhere.
Silently sighed and said, "Turn around, go to Liu Fan's house and have a look!" ”
The carriage clattered forward.
