The rich second generation is forced to start all over again [farming] Section 169
Big Tooth thought deeply: "Yes! How could a bandit write this?! At first glance, we are a business student! ”
Lu Xu: "............"
I don't really understand the business ideas of your business.
They giggled and laughed, and in a few moments the other two bandits who had gone out to dig wild vegetables also returned, sweating with a basket of vegetables on their backs and carrying a live rabbit in their hands.
The young one smiled when he entered the door: "I said why so many people thought there was a big business!" ”
Another person: "Lord Chen, the owner." ”
Lu Xu chatted with them familiarly, asking questions, and the three of them, who were a little restrained at first, quickly cleaned up all the things in the past month.
"At first, we didn't know if we could do it, so we wanted to run, but we didn't dare to run when we passed the army every day on the road."
Another man bumped him in the arm: How did you tell the truth?
"Ahem...... Let's just build a house! The house is not easy to build, and we can't do it, and a passing uncle saw us building a house there, and told us that it would collapse after two rains. We treated him to a meal, and he taught the three of us how to build a house. ”
Lu Xu: "......"
"When my father saw that we had really started to build the house and stopped running up the mountain, he led my brothers and them over to help."
"My eldest sister also helped cook for a few days, and we sold tea while covering it, and those who passed by didn't want to spend money to eat, so they asked them to help me build the roof for food."
The other nodded, "And then cover it, I don't know how it got too big......"
Lu Xu: "......"
Daya: "There is no place to live in this vicinity, and those military families who are in a hurry are unwilling to live in the village, so we will lend them the empty house and collect ten yuan a night, or exchange for some food." ”
The other two nodded.
Lu Xu went to see the empty house, it was really an empty house with only four walls and a few sections of wood.
Those sections of wood were placed against the wall, I don't know if they were cut down too much, or they were specially used as benches.
The floor of the empty house was cleaned and stepped on very smoothly, and there was some grass in one of the clearings, which may have been lying there at night.
Although the conditions of such a house are very poor, it can always shelter from the wind and rain, and there is no need to worry about wild beasts sneaking up in the middle of the night, which is also a very cost-effective place for military households and pedestrians with a small number of people.
Lu Xu had some admiration for the three of them.
This adaptability is really strong!
After the three of them finished speaking, they also said very anxiously that the money had been spent, there was not a penny left, and they even owed the family debts.
In addition, in order to be able to operate, they also have to rely on the skills they had honed when they were bandits in the past, to catch rabbits in the mountains, and only after catching the rabbits can they go to the town to exchange money for coarse noodles and coarse tea to subsidize the tea shed.
Otherwise, they would really only have water to drink in their tea shed.
Lu Xu: "......"
"It's okay!" Lu Xu didn't care and said: "How much you owe, I'll give!" ”
Being able to build a tea shed from scratch is already a good employee who moves the boss of the year.
Lu Xu gave them money, in addition to repaying the debt, he also gave each person half a tael of silver and a sheepskin.
Lu Xu said embarrassedly: "I don't have any cash on me, when I go back to Guanyang to sell the goods, I will definitely make up the bonus for you next time!" ”
The three "hard laborers" who said that they had no wages were stunned, one tael of silver in Baoshan can be exchanged for 1,200 yuan, half a tael is 600 yuan, a month, 600 yuan, and the guys in the county restaurant can't make so much money!
Their star-eyed loyalty:
"Boss, leave it to us and you will put a hundred hearts!"
"I promise to do it well for you, we won't run when the barbarians come!"
"Brothers, you have to come back soon!"
Chapter 151: The Inn
Lu Xu left Daya's tea shed with mixed feelings, thanks to the fact that the latter few were relatively normal.
Nothing particularly big.
Nothing particularly miserable.
There is no business that cannot be operated, or there is no new idea in the business.
It's all rules and regulations to open a small teahouse, or lose or earn, it's all a little money.
Lu Xu told them the idea of renting out the camp in Daya, and let them watch it according to their own situation.
It can be built far away from the village, and there are many trees or stones nearby, and it is very close to the village, so it is not necessary, it is better to directly recruit people to live in the village, the pedestrians are comfortable, and the people in the village who are not in good conditions can make some money.
After leaving Baoshan County like this, Lu Xu and the others soon arrived in Dengzhou, which was full of mountains.
The situation of several small tea sheds north of Dengzhou County is similar to that of Baoshan, except for one where there is some trouble.
As soon as their stall was set up, they caught up with the bandit in charge of someone in his family who had died, and he had to go home for the funeral.
There were only two people in this small stall, and as soon as he left, the other one couldn't continue to operate, so he struggled to support the tea shed and didn't let it close.
Originally, he also wanted to close the door, but the patrolmen passed by every day, and from time to time they would introduce them to a few places to buy water to drink.
The young man is timid, chirps miserably every day, runs two miles before dawn to carry a bucket of water, and has to look for firewood everywhere when he comes back, only sells water and does not make money, he can't cook alone, it's a vicious circle.
There are so many bandits, so many tea sheds, he alone makes it like a hard laborer.
If Lu Xu and the others didn't come back, he would want to run away at the risk of being caught by the patrolmen.
Lu Xu comforted him well, he had the impression that this person was the youngest of the three waves of bandits in Dengzhou, all the way from Chongning County, he didn't dare to say a word to Lu Xu.
Lu Xu thought to himself, silly boy, you should find a helper!
Although he did not keep any money, he also kept three sacks of grain, and he sold half a sack enough to hire someone.
This kid is too honest, Lu Xu thought about it, and left two gentle-tempered bandits to help him.
Wait for him to come back next time to see, if he is really not suitable for this, Lu Xu will arrange some other work for him to do.
When he arrived in Dengzhou City, Lu Xu was warmly welcomed by the county commander again, and Cui County ordered to make a special trip to the north gate to pick up Lu Xu this time.
Lu Xu was flattered and hurriedly jumped out of the car.
Cui County Ling is still heroic, and he is surrounded by the people and calls "Brother Lu".
"Brother Lu is a real young hero, and he really walked alone in the realm of the barbarians."
Lu Xu hurriedly said: "Lord Cui has won the award, how can I be alone, I brought more than 200 people over, my brother-in-law also brought the northern army to pick me up, and there was also a northern army escort throughout the whole process, otherwise how dare I go to the northern border?" ”
They talked and walked, and Cui Xianling took Lu Xu to see his inn.
Speaking of this, Lu Xu is in spirit, inn!
Their own inn!
He quickened his pace, "Let's go, let's see!" ”
There are three main streets in Dengzhou, from the middle street to the west street, Lu Xu and his party passed, the people in front saw the inn, and the convoy behind had not yet entered the city gate.
Entering West Street, Lu Xu was stunned.
Most of the ruins of more than a month ago have been cleared, and many people in the city are working on the ruins.
In the distance, near the south gate, a two-story civil inn has been built, and many people are building shops next to it.
He swept to the western city wall, and found that the city wall had changed, the largest crack had been filled in half, and the other cracks were being repaired by people transporting stones.
Lu Xu muttered, "This is ......"
Cui County Order: "Thanks to the money donated by Brother Lu, one of the long-cherished wishes of this official has finally improved, and the city wall will be repaired in the coming day, and I will order someone to build a merit monument for my brother on the wall!" ”
Not only the city wall, Lu Xu wants to build an inn, and the two brothers of the Luo family who stayed behind always have to recruit workers, they are not familiar with the place in Dengzhou, and it is not safe to carry a lot of money, so the two of them discussed it, and they came to Cui County.
Cui County's order did not shirk, not only posted recruitment notices in the county, but also sent officials to carry gongs and drums to publicize it in the streets and alleys.
Cleaning up the ruins for fifteen wen a day, the wood, stone and other things that can still be used in it, who picks it up.
Build a house for 30 a day, and manage three meals a day.
At first, everyone wanted to build a house, but only some old and weak women and children wanted to clean up the ruins.
There are not many people in Dengzhou County, and the Luo brothers did not refuse, only said that children under the age of 15 and the elderly over the age of 60 will not be accepted, and if the elderly and children come to pick up things to subsidize the family, they don't care.
Later, an old lady who brought her children to collect firewood somehow turned out a clay pot filled with copper coins.
At that time, there were too many people, and there were officials nearby, and others were watching with great eyesight, but the old lady didn't dare to ask for it.
The Luo brothers were called, counted the cans of money, and gave the old lady 100 wen first, and divided the rest equally among everyone who was cleaning up the ruins that day.
After this incident, the caravan of "Lu Yi Street" became more famous, and the reputation of the Luo brothers in Dengzhou rose, and the number of people who came to work for them increased.
The people who had idle in the county almost poured out, and the street, which had been abandoned for many years, began to be cleaner to the naked eye.
Later, the county government sent people to the nearby villages and towns to beat the gong - the county town recruited workers, repaired the city walls, built houses, and cleaned up the streets, and the wages were paid.
People from the vicinity also flocked to the city to work.
For a time, Dengzhou City was lively.
The more people there are, the more people to eat, and the more people who want to find a place to live.
Before you know it, many families in the city have additional income.
Tidy up the house and rent it out, sew and wash it for people, go to West Street to sell water and food, repair cars and make cars, weave baskets, grind big saws, and carry wood......
There is money, consumption is also up, originally did not plan to make winter clothes began to plan to cut cloth and make clothes, in the past reluctant to eat meat, every ten years are willing to buy a little meat, taste the smell of oil, want to repair the house can not afford to repair, just go to the ruins to pick up the scraps, or go to the inn to see, while they set the wood with the same set, not much, the inn will also help them bring back......
Even the children in Dengzhou County have pocket money, and they go to the ruins to rummage through the leveled stones, whether they sell them to the government to repair the city wall or sell them to the inn to pave the road, they can earn a penny or two in a busy day.
Just clean the stone and roll it over, and a child can do it.
After earning money, some children will give it to the family, and some will use it as pocket money to buy snacks, toys, and flowers......
This summer, the children in Dengzhou are all laughing and groaning.
The two brothers of the Luo family were supervising the construction of a shop on the street, and they were really surprised to see Lu Xu and them bring back so many livestock.
They were glad that they had cleaned up quickly, otherwise it would have been cattle and carts, and they would not have been able to let go.
