Chapter 61 Raising Chickens to Pay Off Debts
In two years, Lousang Village and Dongcun have fought several times in the past two years, and the reason for these fights is to compete for the number of personnel to protect Cai Yong.
Cai Yong was born in Chenliu, which is located in the Central Plains, speaking of which, before Cai Yong was tossed by Liu Hong, he actually rarely lived in his hometown.
It is not simply because he settled in Luoyang as an official, but because Chen Liu and his surrounding families are flourishing, and Cai Yong does not like to fight, after he becomes famous, if he settles in his hometown, he will inevitably have some dirt with the local family.
The family takes care of the township, which is a responsibility and a power.
Cai Yong is not in Chenliu, but his mother is the daughter of the Yuan family of Chen County, and the Yuan family of Runan, which is more familiar to later generations, is probably separated from the Yuan family of Chen County, and before Cai Yong was moved by Liu Hong, his uncle was Situ of Han.
Cai Yong is not in his hometown, and the local family will naturally take special care of the Cai clan, and the things involved are no different from Cai Yong's own presence.
At the same time, the hometown will also remember Cai Yong's fame, befriend him, and respect him.
But if Cai Yong settles in his hometown, then such a great Confucian with a growing reputation will step into Chenliu, for the family that has long taken root in Chenliu, it will be like muddying a pool of clear water.
Cai Yong doesn't like to fight, Chen Jun Yuan's family is also low-key, there is nothing to do in his hometown, and Cai Yong usually doesn't live there for a long time.
In words that are easier for everyone to understand, if Cai Yong is in charge of Chenliu and the Chenliu territory, there will definitely be a replacement between the family and the Hanmen, or the dependence and integration between the family, there will definitely be a victory or defeat.
Hanmen are mostly hostile to the family, and there is nothing noble to talk about.
Because, before those families in their hometown won a foothold, those poor families were local families,
Huh, pretty realistic, right? Everything is not so messy at all, in fact, it is all clear.
Now that Cai Yong is innocent, after settling in Lousang, there is a Shunyin Lu family in the recent range, and it is Lu Zhi who is the main pillar today.
And Lu Zhi is an existence that doesn't run his own house very much, probably the so-called single-mindedness. The Lu family is not prosperous, and Cai Yong will not cause anything dirty here.
At the beginning, Cai Yong was pushed by a group, and the exile was the exile of the whole family, and even affected his uncle who ascended the throne of Situ.
Yuan Peng was dismissed from Situ and became the ruling Jinwu, and Cai Yong's wife was seriously ill at that time.
Chenjun Yuan's family didn't like Cai Yong to cause trouble, and Cai Yong's friends were helpless about the exile, so they directly accepted a concubine room for Cai Yong in Shuofang, arranged servants, and regarded it as a family exile, and Cai Yong's wife was taken down.
I have to say that this kind of sassy operation is probably only a famous person like Cai Yong who dares to toss it like this.
And Cai Yong's wife failed to survive the illness and died a few years ago. After some tossing, Cai Yong can be said to be exhausted, and his disappointment in the Han family is indescribable.
When Cai Yong was exonerated from the crime, Shuo Fang's concubine room also retired, and it was time to go back to whose house.
At this point, Cai Yong was disliked by the Yuan family of Chen County, and his family was almost broken, so he settled down in Lousang, and began his 'recruiting bees and butterflies'.
Well, that means about the same, right?
Anyway, because of him, Lou Sang and Dongcun jumped up and down several times, just to get more villagers to get to Cai Yong's side.
In the village, the villagers were formed to defend the Confucianism of the Han Dynasty, and these villagers were named in the tribe, and hundreds of people left home and spontaneously volunteered to join Cai Yong's arms.
Oral tax and hard labor, or, you go to Cai Yong to register?
The tax is 200 for the first year, and 300 if it is exempt from servitude. This alone, in a year, has saved tens of thousands of dollars.
If you are conscripted into the army, you let the Great Confucian tribe go to military service? Come, let's take a look. Cao Peng of Zhuo County, let's ask you, should the Confucianism be supported in the countryside?
You just say, does Gongwei Daru count as military service?
Yes, it's not just about money, it's about fate.
In the end, the two villages fought several games, Cai Yong really couldn't look at it, Lou Sang was eighty, and Dongcun was twenty, which can be regarded as giving the quota of the 'Cai Yong Fan Group'.
Cai Yong's family background is a little thin in the end, no matter how much he has, he can't help it.
Saving money is a clear thing, but the villagers will not treat Cai Yong as a fish in water.
At this point, hundreds of people in the family have started the chores, and when they are on shift, there are four or five offspring, who have nothing to do with a big blade and sway around Liu Cang's house to prevent the night from being small.
And Liu Cang, who was also officially promoted from the original Liu Da Tam, to Liu Gongzi, who dares to shout nonsense and break his legs, the clan elder said.
With Xiangyong, you can build weapons. The creation of repair weapons attracted blacksmiths to the village. When the blacksmith arrives, he can attract some forging business in ten miles and eight towns, and when the reputation spreads, some merchants will choose to stop and stay in Lousang Village.
When the merchants arrived, a series of changes in Lousang Village became more eye-catching, and the sideline business of Lousang Village developed immediately, and for more than two years, the nearby villages would also take advantage of the slack time to gather Lousang to sell and buy some small east and small west.
A great Confucian can bring real changes to the place. Of course, this is under the condition that His Majesty the Emperor's knife cannot cut Zhuoxian for the time being.
"Fifth uncle! Fifth uncle~! Cai Weng has something to look for you. After getting dressed, Liu Cang was sitting at the edge of the waterhole and thinking about the past two years, when a boy of six or seven years shouted and came out of the grass and trees on the side of the mountain road.
The linen gown and wide crotch pants, and the straw sandals that are estimated to have been shipped from Liu Bei are tied to the feet, and they are dressed up on the country baby, which can already reflect the good conditions at home.
The little baby rushed to Liu Cang's side, and after saying a word, she went to pull the iron halberd that Liu Cang threw aside.
"Don't talk about it, little arms and legs, play with stone locks for another two years." grabbed the boy by the neck, lifted him aside, and kicked him lightly in the ass, Liu Cang picked up the iron halberd and said.
The male baby is very skinny, and it is secondary to call people, mainly because he wants to touch the iron halberd. You can't be too polite to them, they can't be cured of it.
"Don't kick, can I bring it up, believe it or not?" was kicked by Liu Cang, and the boy was not angry, he turned his face to question Liu Cang, and his eyes were full of provocation and cleanliness.
Liu Cang pursed his lips, and kneaded his face with his hands, and the boy who provoked him whined and said that it hurt, little brat, believe it or not, I won't let you mention it.
"Let's go, don't drill in the haystack, I haven't swept the worms for two months." Letting go of the boy, Liu Cang was about to go back to the village with the iron halberd, but the boy made a grimace at Liu Cang's back, turned around and got into the grass.
'A dead baby. Liu Cang shook his head.
In the past few days, let's let Jin Zi walk a few more times in Dongshan, there are fierce dogs in Dongshan, and it is forbidden for people to approach casually, and several children are here to take turns herding sheep and cattle, drilling everywhere, don't be bitten by snakes again.
The stone road in the mountains, this road was smashed out by Liu Cang in a year's time, and the elm trees on both sides of the acacia forest, some fruit trees are either seedlings or have died.
These fruit trees were planted at random by Liu Cang in the past two years at the foot of the mountain, no one waits for them, they are firewood when they die, and they are wild when they are alive.
Liu Cang's cultivation is unpredictable and high-yielding, that is not his specialty. Only the maximum resistance and durability are measured, and the best can be planted in the wild.
The weeds are luxuriant, the yaks and goats are good at mountain roads, the cattle and sheep are all over the mountain, and they will change places to gnaw every once in a while, saving the feeding strength of the old nose.
A year ago, Liu Cang accidentally discovered that the 'Euphorbia Technique', which was almost eaten by insects, was quite effective in boiling the body, and there was more time to practice martial arts, and there was less time to prepare forage for cattle and sheep.
Along the way down the mountain, near the foot of the mountain began to appear a relatively gentle slope, as far as the eye can see, there are pieces of chicken coops and chicken nests, and the mountainside is full of chickens and birds pacing and shaving.
This piece of firewood chicken, which has a quantity of nearly 2,000, can bring Liu Cang an income of 40,000 yuan this year, and he can harvest a vote of spiritual essence, and after selling it, he can repay Zhang Fei's money.
Well, pay back Zhang Fei's money, Zhang Mo, hang up.
Last year, Zhang Mo sent a conscription to Yanmen, just in time for a group of Xianbei to cross the border and temporarily participate in the war, but died in the chaotic battle.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Zhang Fei became the head of the family, and with a brute nature, he actually controlled the family's industry in a year, and also gained a lot of prestige in the county.
Liu Cang doesn't like the feeling of owing money, although Zhang Fei said that he doesn't have to pay it back, but he said earlier that he borrowed it, so he had to pay it back. And Zhang Mo just left, if he doesn't return it, Liu Cang really feels awkward.
In the past two years, including cattle and sheep, as long as they can be raised to the time of ingesting the spiritual essence, they will be sold for more than a year at most, and then they will buy calves and lambs after they are sold, and they will make the difference in price.
The collected spiritual essence is all stored by Liu Cang, and seeing that another batch is processed, the foreign debt will be completely eliminated, and he will be able to start high-quality cultivation.
In addition to this relatively peaceful domestic chicken, a group of people closer to the foot of the mountain are tying up the golden pheasants that are restrained in the shed by the fighting chickens.
These brocade chickens are more expensive than domestic chickens, and Liu Cang originally wanted to replace the chickens with them after harvesting the chicken seedlings, but these chickens were wild and flew far.
From time to time, flocks flew down the mountain to plague the villagers' villages, and the fighting chickens could not take care of them, and the gold chased them one by one. No, Liu Cangzai dried some of it, and the rest was ready to be sold.
As for those who catch chickens, they should nominally be regarded as members of the 'Cai Yong Fan Group', but Cai Yong doesn't need them, so they have become people who work in shifts and help Liu Cang chase chickens and pick eggs.
These people work hard, and Liu Cang is not embarrassed to use them.
This is probably the reciprocity between the family and the people, well, or it should be called exploitation.
