Chapter 526: Stained Light
Originally, the people of Li Jiaao only planned to do this meal of champion wine for one day.
However, the number of people who came on the first day was unexpected, and people kept coming until dark, so I decided to continue the next day.
None of the people who came were empty-handed.
Ordinary people give dozens of texts, and the landlords, wealthy businessmen and gentry send gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, houses, and shops.
What's more, there is also a beautiful maid.
And these were expected by Xie Yanzhi, and he had already advised.
The silver of ordinary banquets is collected, and the gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, shops and houses given by others are not accepted.
If someone sends someone down, they can take it.
No matter whether the other party is a beautiful maid or something, they all stay in the clan, and when the time comes, they will help open up the wasteland of the clan, and the people of Li Jiaao cannot marry them!
There was that clever person, after seeing that things could not be delivered, he simply took a walk around Lijiaao.
Seeing that the private school was not built, he "donated" the silver to the Li clan in the name of helping to build the private school.
The private school in the village is not as big as the county seat, and the cost is limited.
It is enough to have two people to pay.
Other people who followed the trend saw that there were a few girls who looked good, but looked tired, and were different from the joyful people in the village.
As soon as I inquired, I knew that it was the beautiful maid given to Lord Xie by the Xu Mansion in the capital, so I dispelled the idea of giving it away.
They carefully observed Lijiaao, and when they saw that the road to the county seat had not been repaired, they said that they would help pay for the road repair.
In short, in order to show goodwill with Xie Yanzhi, after he refused, those people turned to spend the silver on Li Jiaao's side!
If it is said that people with other surnames in Li Jiaao in the past were simply happy with Xie Yanzhong, saying that when they went out, their waists could stand straight, then today's feelings are particularly profound.
They had never seen so many people come to the feast to be happy.
I haven't seen it, and there are still people rushing to send money.
For the first time, I realized that when Xie Yanzhi refused to accept it, those people actually spent the silver on their Li Jiaao.
It can be said that it is an unprecedented realization of what it means to be stained.
This is not the same as going to the yamen and being respectfully entertained!
This also has nothing to do with the fact that they are not from the Li clan.
It's just simple, because they're from this village!
The private school was repaired, and their children could study.
The road was repaired, and it was easy for them to walk regardless of rain or shine.
Moreover, when the time comes, the division of watermelon and sweet potato can be higher in your hand!
At night, after the crowd dispersed, Xie Yanzhi and the elders of the Li family, as well as other people with surnames who could speak, all sat in Li Qinghua's house.
"Shao'an, are we going to invite three days, or will we invite another day tomorrow? And the silver for the feast that I received today......"
The people who sent it today, the Li clan members have all registered.
Xie Yanzhi stretched out his hand to take it and glanced at the number registered on it.
Ten cents less, one or two taels of silver more.
Yes, Xie Yanzhi and Li Qinghua discussed, if it exceeds one or two pieces of silver, it will not be accepted.
Therefore, those wealthy businessmen and landlords and gentry had no way to send things out, so they hit Li Jiaao's side with their ideas.
After a rough calculation of the approximate income, he returned the account book to Li Qinghua.
"Uncle Hua, you can invite another day tomorrow, there is no need to make a big show for three days. Also, the table seats are halved, and if there are still many people, they will be placed according to the flowing water seats. The feast does not include the morning, but we can eat together in the village. In addition, the money for tomorrow's purchase will be from here today. ”
The people present nodded their heads one after another.
Xie Yanzhi continued: "This money, including those donated by people to build roads and private schools, is really a lot. ”
So all the silver taken together was considered common. Tomorrow night, after calculating the expenses for these two days, as well as the cost of building roads and private schools, part of the rest will be used to buy enlightenment books. ”
"Three hundred thousand, you must buy it, buy a few more copies. Then there are more wells dug in the village. If there is a house that is not strong enough, it will take some to repair it. ”
Seeing that someone heard this and wanted to give an opinion, Xie Yanzhi glanced at him and continued: "This place is close to the town by the sea, and there will be typhoons every year. At the moment, you are not very deeply touched, but you will know when the time comes. ”
"Furthermore, the money was not given for free to those who built houses. I lent it to them, and I had to pay it back when I sold the watermelon and sweet potato. Also, Uncle Hua, I want you to calculate for yourself, how much you will take out when the time comes, in the name of Li Jiaao in Lanxia City, or donate or buy things to send back to Liuyun County. ”
When everyone heard that they were buying things or donating money back to Liuyun County, they were all silent.
They all came out of there, and even if they didn't go back, they cared about that side.
I heard that it was very bad there, the county seat was gone, and the imperial court still did not allocate funds, so let Lord Xu figure out his own way.
The remaining ordinary people who survived had a very difficult life.
And among those people, there may be their relatives.
Perhaps, there are also the families who once parted ways with them in Stone Mountain.
"Okay!"
Li Qinghua responded and sighed deeply.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave, he really wanted to go back and see what it was like over there.
But now their life in Li Jiaao is visibly better with the naked eye.
If you have the ability, you can help more.
There, in the end, it's their hometown, their roots.
Someday, you'll have to find time to go back and have a look!
Xie Yanzhi saw that he should come down, so he continued: "Uncle Hua, you have to take care of the few people you sent over today. I said that no one in the village was allowed to marry them. If there is any transgression, look at it and deal with it. ”
Li Qinghua knew what those gentry who insisted on giving away were thinking in their hearts.
Knowing that they already have beautiful maids sent from the capital here, they still insist on sending them, which shows that they still have hope for those beautiful maids.
This kind of person, Shao'an is absolutely impossible to take with him. Staying here, if someone from the village gets married, it will be a hidden danger to turn back.
So, the best thing to do is to let them do the same work as before.
When they can't stand it anymore, they just leave.
Deed of Sale, they are willing to return it!
Furthermore, Shao'an left people to them, which is also a statement.
He will not dislike them just because he is the champion and an official.
Their Li family and even Li Jia'ao can have today's scenery because Xie Yanzhi is their son-in-law, and Yuanniang is valued by him.
If he had other women, and his mind was on other women, how could they be today?
Thinking like this, Li Qinghua, who originally wanted his grandson to follow Xie Yanzhi, decided to change people at the moment.
"Shao'an, if you go to Dongfeng Mansion this time, there is no one around you. I don't know if your grandmother told you that the clan plans to choose a few clever people to go with you? ”
Yesterday was too tired, and Li Yuan hadn't had time to tell Xie Yanzhi about it, so he didn't know at all.
