Before the start of winter, the first snow fell, and it was quite heavy, but fortunately, the crops in the fields had been recovered and the winter wheat had been planted.

Li Liang was ready to open a small sweet potato vermicelli workshop.

Chapter 190 Build a road to Pingcheng Build a road in the whole county

There is no sweet potato workshop in Shengjing, and the original 700 acres of land in Li Qiao are planted with corn, millet and other miscellaneous grains.

There are also some cash crops such as watermelons.

But the big Zhuangzi that Sheng Hong rewarded was 50 acres of sweet potatoes and 50 acres of corn.

This year's harvest is average, there are 13,400 catties of sweet potatoes per acre, and 50 acres is more than 60,000 catties.

It's another sweet potato mountain.

Li Liang plans to open a small sweet potato workshop to consume these sweet potatoes.

Of course, the most important thing in opening a sweet potato workshop is secrecy, making money is secondary, and if you want to keep the recipe, you can only buy people.

Tao Zhu called people to come over, and bought more than ten people, now is the agricultural slack period, Li Liang Wang Guihua is not idle people, the two of them do not like to do business, always feel uncomfortable in the shop to work.

If the two of them want to make sweet potato vermicelli, then open a workshop, and they must be as comfortable as they were in Sanliu Village.

Otherwise, it is better to let the two of them go back to the village, although the family business of Shengjing needs to be taken care of, but the most important thing is that these two people live comfortably.

Li Liang Wang Guihua bought people for the first time, and both of them attached great importance to them, and first named them one by one: Li Shu 1, Li Shu 2...... Li Shu XIV.

Then there's training.

The workshop of sweet potato vermicelli is ready to be opened in the north of the city, and the east of the city is expensive, so it is not suitable to open a workshop.

In order to open the sweet potato vermicelli workshop as soon as possible, the couple was very concerned about training.

Tao Zhu asked Li Xiaolan, Li Yuning, and Li Yu'an to go over to watch, and they all reached the age of saying that they should learn how to manage their subordinates.

The two courtyards of the east cross courtyard have been repaired, and both of these courtyards are four-in, except for the back cover room where the people live, there are conservatories in the first three courtyards.

It was snowing, and the whole family moved into the conservatory.

Li Liang, Wang Guihua, Li Shu and others lived in a conservatory for the first time, although they felt sorry for the huge amount of firewood consumed every day, but they couldn't help but praise Li Qiao for being smart.

Although there is a lot of dry firewood burned, the comfort can be greatly improved, and it is 100 times more comfortable than just burning the fire.

In the winter, you can wear spring clothes in the house, and you don't have to wrap the three layers inside and the outside three layers and can't even stretch your arms.

Moreover, this kind of warm house is too suitable for small babies, Zheng Qianqian's second son Li Dashan's newborn son is named Erbao, and Li Xia and Zhao Shen's little brother is named Zhao Tang, Brother Tangerine.

These two babies only need to wear a thin little cotton coat in the conservatory, with white and tender little arms and fat calves that can be exposed, whether it is to feed them or bathe them very conveniently.

In the past, when I was in the village, in winter, every baby was wrapped and only showed a small face, and the adults did not dare to take the baby out of the house.

But now in the conservatory, there are four or five spacious rooms, each of which is warm, not only Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng, Li Yunfan, the three little guys who can run and jump can read and play freely, but the same is true for the two little babies.

The dealer on the other side also lived in the conservatory, three spacious conservatories, although not enough for one person, but the family can stay in the conservatory during the day.

Li Bottle works in the Li family's shop, and Zhuangquan Manor has been working in the Li family's shop intermittently.

Later, Zhou Yun became pregnant and gave birth to a child, and the manor was also busy with blind dates, so the brothers had less time to go to Li's shop to work.

Now that Zhuang Fengshou and his wife are here, the brothers went to work in the Li family's shop again.

Meng Yue's father and mother are also idle people, the Meng family is now renting a small courtyard, only relying on the Meng family's eldest brother and sister-in-law can take care of it neatly and cleanly, Meng Yue's father and mother see that there is nothing to do, so they also want to go to the Li family shop to work.

How could Meng Yue agree, let the old couple come to Shengjing to enjoy happiness, not to work.

After some disputes, in the end, Meng Yue's father and mother stayed at home to take care of the housework, and Meng Yue's eldest brother and sister-in-law went to work in the Li family's shop.

Soon it was time for the day of rest.

At this time, it was already winter, and although there was no snow today, it was dry and cold outside.

A group of fellow villagers from Hexi Prefecture gathered at Li Qiao's house again.

However, this time Shen painting was missing.

Shen Hua gave birth to a brother, and he is still in confinement at this time.

Xu Ying rarely rested, and she was at home with him.

Li Qiao repaired the yard this time, and deliberately built a very spacious multi-functional leisure room in the front yard, there are three rooms, one for men, one for restaurants, and one for women and husbands.

Li Qiao's family is not restricted by the gambling house, and can freely rub mahjong and fight landlords.

The charm of mahjong and fighting landlords is really great, and even people like Li Liangwang Guihua, who have hardly had fun in the fields, have been attracted.

Zhuang Fengshou and Meng Yue's father and mother are the same, but Meng Yue's father and mother are reluctant to sit on the side and watch, and they are unwilling to rub a few handfuls in person.

On the mahjong table, it is naturally Hu Kan from all over the world, Li Qiao brought up the old things again, and talked about the land on the other side of the dock.

If the Zhuang family and the Meng family need it, he can sell the land over there to them at the price of Weiqing County.

Zhuang Wen and Meng Yue can't afford to open a shop in the capital to buy a field at present, but both of them need silver, so that the two families have to go to work in his shop.

Just like today, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Meng family, Li Bottle, and Zhuangquan Manor are not there, and several people are busy in the shop.

That being the case, it is better to buy a piece of land in Weiqing County.

"When the wharf is repaired, I will definitely open a duck shop, a dim sum shop, and a fried chicken shop over there, and I am confident that the development of the wharf in Weiqing County will be prosperous.

When Li Qiao said this, Zhuang Fengshou put down the mahjong in his hand, and said to Li Qiao with a serious and somewhat embarrassed face: "I was about to tell you about this, Xiaowen mentioned it to me in the letter before, and this time I came to Beijing, Xiaowen mentioned it again." This is your concession, and it is beneficial to us and harmless. ”

"Originally, I didn't want to take advantage of you so much, but Sheng Jing's house is too expensive."

"Li Qiao, I have to take advantage of you this time."

"With our relationship, it would be a shame to say this, and I didn't give you the land for free. Besides, when the store really opens, we will definitely have to let the people of our village go over, and then we will have to trouble the village chief to arrange this matter. ”

Li Qiao said with a smile.

The people of his Li family are not enough to stay in Kyoto, let alone divide a few more to stay in Weiqing County.

He was not familiar with Weiqing County, and when the shop was newly opened, he must let the people in the village go over to take care of it first.

Wait a long time, and then recruit local people.

When Zhuang Fengshou heard this, he patted his heart: "Don't worry, now that the people in our village have been trained, there are many people who can do business alone." ”

"Besides, almost all the boys of school age in our village are studying in private schools. There are not many of these boys who can really be admitted to Xiucai, and their parents' expectations for them are not to gain fame, but to know a few words, so that they can go to your house to work. ”

"When the time comes, if you don't want to use the elderly villagers, you can use these male babies, they are young, their brains are active, and they are willing to leave the village to work hard in other places."

What Li Qiao wanted was the guarantee of Zhuang Fengshou, and now that Zhuang Fengshou gave it to him, he was relieved.

In the future, there is no need to worry about the manpower in Weiqing County.

He said with a smile: "Village chief, my Li family is small, and there are many places where I need help from the people in the village. ”

When he first started the dim sum business, the people in the village stopped Tao Shu, Li Xiao, and Han Xiaoyan according to his expectations, and lived in peace with him, which was already very good.

The villagers did not change their ways to make him bad, but made a fortune with him for mutual benefit, and he naturally thought of the good of the villagers.

At that time, the villagers were cautious about him and tried their best to make friends and curry favor, so that he could take him to his home.

Now that he has a firm foothold in Shengjing, he doesn't mind pulling everyone.

"I don't know what else I can do for the villagers, if there is a need, just mention it."

"Now that every family is rich, there is nothing difficult about it. The road has been repaired a long time ago, the well, there have been a lot of dug in the village, and it is very convenient for every household to irrigate. The private school also hired two other masters, enough to teach the children in the village. ”

Zhuang Fengshou's always serious face put a smile on his face at this time.

Sanliu Village's current days, as long as he mentions it, he can't help laughing, which village chief can hold back his laughter?

He couldn't keep his mouth shut anyway.

"Now the folks are very satisfied with the current life, and you don't need to do anything more."

Previously, the people in the village flattered Li Qiao, lest Li Qiao fly too far and they couldn't reach it, so that they couldn't touch Li Qiao's light.

But now, if they were really allowed to leave Sanliu Village and go to the unfamiliar Shengjing, half of those ten people would not be.

I didn't see Li Liang and Wang Guihua didn't really want to come to the capital before.

For those in Sanliu Village who have been digging in the land for half their lives, life at this time is unprecedentedly better, relying on sweet potatoes and sweet potato workshops, raising some livestock at home, or working in duck shops, every household in the village has a guaranteed annual income of 100 taels of silver - except for the Tao Shu family, of course.

If there are many strong people in the family, and there is a lot of labor, then he can earn two or three hundred taels of silver a year.

This income is enough for a large family to eat white flour steamed buns for a meal, and they can also have half a catty of meat and half a catty of wine.

This kind of good life was not in a dream before.

Moreover, now the people of the village are not only rich, but also very proud, their village has a Li buckwheat, a Zhuangwen, and a sweet potato workshop and a duck goods workshop, and people from other villages are trying their best to marry into their village and have a relationship with their village.

It can be said that the people in the village have also been greatly satisfied spiritually.

Materially there is wine and meat, and spiritually it is envied and flattered by other villages every day, this kind of good life is satisfying and addictive.

Life in the village is so comfortable, why go to a strange place to earn a future?

Even if there is Li Qiao, a member of the three grades, as a backer, there are many people in the village who are reluctant to come to Shengjing.

In the past few years since Li Qiao left Sanliu Village and went to Shengjing, many people always asked him and Li Liang and Li Gu in a joking tone at the beginning, wondering when Li Qiao and Zhuang Wen would take them away.

But as the days passed, the life of the big guy got better and better, and the number of people who asked this question gradually decreased.

Now the days of the people in Sanliu Village are already flying.

Therefore, there are quite a number of people in Sanliu Village who are reluctant to leave the village, and there is no need for Li Qiao to do anything.

However, there are also groups of people who are willing to leave the village.

People go to high places, the people of Sanliu Village know how big and wonderful the outside world is from the people from other places, plus there are Li Qiao and Zhuang Wenzai, if Li Qiao and Zhuang Wenken pull them, then they will definitely be willing to leave Sanliu Village to go to other places.

However, today, Li Qiao specially pointed out the place of Weiqing County, so Li Qiao didn't need to do anything else.

Weiqing County is very good, and when the Grand Canal is opened in the future and the stucco road is repaired, it is very convenient to go back to the village or go north to Beijing.

Li Qiao didn't need to bring the villagers to Shengjing.

With the prosperity and prices of Shengjing, if the villagers really come here, they must be beaten back in their hearts.

It's better to stay in Weiqing County, close to home, and earn a lot of silver.
