Chapter Twenty-Six: Officials Take People
Zhao Hong's words made the villagers who were full of smiles at a loss, and they didn't understand which one Zhao Hong was singing.
Some people didn't want to, but they couldn't keep quiet.
Zhou Xinghua, who hadn't had time to go home yet, smiled and made a round, pushed Zhao Hong's elbow, and said, "Hey, there should be a rule for everything, you hurry up, everyone in the province is in a hurry." Doing business also pays attention to your love and my wishes, what is this? ”
Zhao Hong nodded and said in a loud voice: "Xinghua is right, I am also talking about ugly things in front of me, in order to get along happily in the future." Actually, it's not difficult, it's just four o'clock in total, big guys, listen up. ”
"First, all the herbs I teach everyone to know, if you are unsure, you must come to me or apricot blossoms, it is better to have a small quantity than to ensure the quality, this medicine is to cure diseases and save people, and the consequences of fooling may be life-threatening."
"Second, I feel that I can't learn well, so I can change with my family, but the deadline is within three days, and I can't take apprentices endlessly, after all, I also have to beg for a living."
"Third, I will collect the medicinal materials uniformly, and I will also make it clear to you what medicine should be collected in what season. I'm afraid that I will lose money if I sell it, so there is no need to learn from me. ”
"This last point is to be an apprentice with me, and I can also teach my family to collect medicine in the future. But this craft can't be passed on to the outside world for three years, and if anyone has other thoughts, I will go to the village chief and the patriarch to complain. ”
After Zhao Hong's words fell, there were really people who hesitated.
You must know that Zhao Hong can't toss in vain, he took the medicine from them, and then sold it will inevitably make the difference, but they don't know how much the difference is.
The reason why Zhao Hong agreed to be a three-year period is because she is confident that after three years, she will have her own medicine field and a firm foothold in the medicinal materials industry, and she doesn't care where these scattered medicine pickers will go.
Zhou Xinghua on the side listened to the discussion of the villagers, and her smile was a little colder.
"If you want to sell medicinal herbs, you have to be guaranteed by someone. Zhao Hong still has to concoct your medicine, how much effort does it take in the middle? Not to mention the side, when the medicinal materials are concocted, they have to fall off the scales, and they have to be badly practiced, which is all silver! Zhou Xinghua hugged Zhao Hong and shouted out the power.
Shen thought about it for a while, and then said to Zhao Hong: "I can leave the child for you, how to teach him, if he is stupid, you can beat him a few times, and my sister-in-law can trust you." ”
With the village chief's daughter-in-law taking the lead, and then looking at the Zhou family's days with Zhao Hong, most of the villagers also expressed their stance and handed over the child to Zhao Hong.
Each family's fields are counted, and it is not easy to go out to work, but now there is a way to make money, and you can also make money together as a family, and you know how to choose with a little brain.
There are also people who hide their thoughts, but they don't say anything on the surface, and they first learn to recognize the importance of collecting medicine.
After explaining what tools everyone needed to bring to collect medicines, Zhao Hong had time to put the things in the stove room first, and said to Zhou Xinghua: "You also take a child with you, the affairs of the family can't be delayed, and when you turn around and collect the herbs, let your family follow to learn how to concoct medicinal materials, and I will pay you every day." ”
"How can that be? Isn't that breaking your rules? Zhou Xinghua was busy refusing.
Zhao Hong held Zhou Xinghua's hand, glared at her and said, "Seeing that the sky collects so many medicinal materials, do you want to exhaust our old arms and legs?" That is, I will use it for the time being, and whoever has a talent for medicinal materials will consider accepting apprentices. If you don't have this talent, I'll hire a small worker. ”
Zhou Xinghua knew that Zhao Hong really wanted to use people, but she really wanted to help her, so she went home with red eyes and said the good news.
Because he had to take an apprentice, Zhao Hong hadn't picked any medicinal materials for several days, and if he hadn't used the spiritual spring water of the space to make medicinal tea to moisten his throat every night, his throat would have been speechless.
Fortunately, the descendants in the village all know how to measure, and they are afraid that they will not be able to remember the medicinal materials, so everyone focuses on two or three medicinal materials, so that they don't have to bother Zhao Hong all the time when they learn from each other.
There are many people and great strength, the courtyard of Zhao Hong's house is full of medicinal materials, and the juniors of the Zhou family are even more sensible to level the land that Zhao Hong bought, and fence it again, everything is developing in a good direction.
"Aunt Zhao, you are back. Someone from the yamen came to look for you during the day today, and then I was invited to my house by the village chief, so go and have a look. ”
On this day, Zhao Hong had just returned from the mountain, and Zhou Xing hurriedly stepped forward and said.
"What's going on? Why is the yamen still here? Zhou Xinghua asked anxiously.
But Zhou Xing didn't know what was going on, so he could only look at Zhao Hong with the same worry as his mother.
"I'll go to the village chief to have a look, you clean up and sort the medicinal materials first, and if you are not sure, wait until I come back." Zhao Hong handed Zhou Xing, who was only half loaded, patted the dust on his body and walked towards Zhao Fugui's house.
He didn't cause trouble, Zhao Hong estimated that someone from the yamen was related, and nine times out of ten it was related to Lin Yuan or Li Yunjuan, otherwise he would have gone to the house to arrest someone.
When he came to Zhao Fugui's house, he smelled the smell of stewed chicken in the yard, Zhao Hong raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that he was going to make a small fortune, and he couldn't let Zhao Fugui spend the money on wine and food, and complain again.
"Cousin, I'm here." Zhao Hong shouted before entering the door to remind the people inside.
"You're back." Zhao Fugui hurriedly went out, stopped Zhao Hong at the door, and said in a low voice: "Then Shen Wen sued Lin Yuan, saying that he trespassed on the house and beat him to a serious injury, and the official came to get people." ”
"Oh." Zhao Hong nodded in response, and was about to step in, but was stopped by Zhao Fugui.
"Why aren't you in a hurry? Really don't care if Lin Yuan is dead or alive? Zhao Fugui asked as he looked into the room.
"Can my cousin tell the official about the cause and effect?" Zhao Hong asked calmly.
"Anyway, do you think the official can have a meal at home?" Zhao Fugui was dripping blood in his heart, he wanted to get into a relationship with the official, maybe he would use it at any time, but the money for the wine and food was also really spent.
Zhao Hong took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Zhao Fugui's hand with understanding, and then said: "Cousin looked at the purchase of some good wine and food, I will make up for it if it is not enough, I will go in and talk to the officials." ”
"Can you do it alone?" Zhao Fugui saw that the officials were all bent on their waists, afraid that Zhao Hong would not have the courage to suffer again.
"Don't worry, I know who can't be offended." Zhao Hong bypassed Zhao Fugui and entered the house, this time it was impossible for Zhao Fugui to stop her again.
There were two officials sitting in the room, with sabers beside them, all of whom were drinking coarse tea in clay bowls and whispering something.
It wasn't the first time Zhao Hong had seen him, so he didn't look at it much, nodded his head according to his age, and sat on the chair by the window.
"The two poor masters sat at my cousin's house for a while, and they know the cause and effect of the incident. I'm a woman, and I don't know so many twists and turns, but I can't bear this on anyone, right? ”
"That Lin Yuan's kid is impulsive to violate the law, the official caught him, he should teach him a lesson, he should be beaten and boarded, and he should be locked up for a few days, he asked for it."
Zhao Hong's words are not false at all, she really didn't have the intention of fishing for Lin Yuan, but after all, he is the son of the original owner, and if he can change his past mistakes after this experience, the revenge of indirectly killing the original owner will be eliminated.
The two officials were surprised that Zhao Hong was so calm, and after glancing at each other, they said with interest: "You old woman is interesting, you actually took the initiative to let your son suffer, what else can you say?" ”
