Chapter 163: There is really pie in the sky
When the old people heard that Liu Ill had said that he wanted to build this place into a silkworm breeding base, the whole person was stupid, of course, the reason why he became stupid was that he didn't believe what Liu Ill had said at all.
For so many years, they have begged God to worship Buddha every day, but good things have never befallen their heads, not to mention the gold ingots falling from the sky, even if a leaf falls from the sky, it can't hit their heads.
Of course, Liu Yi knew that the old patriarch didn't believe him, so he immediately took out a thousand taels of silver tickets from his arms, and didn't want to pay the old patriarch, saying that it was the start-up deposit for this sericulture base, and everything was taken care of by the old patriarch.
The old patriarch didn't even dare to think about it, and kept wiping his eyes, trying to confirm whether this matter was true or not, Guo Xiang smiled beside him: "Old patriarch, this silver ticket is absolutely real, if you keep wiping it like this, your eyes will be wiped off!"
The old patriarch wiped not his eyes, but tears, this is a way to live, this is a way to live, this is a way to live for them, can he not be excited? Immediately led the people of the clan to kneel down together, until Liu Yi was in a hurry.
I have to say that if you don't get up again, I will cancel this sericulture base, and those people will stand up, and when they stand up, no matter adults or children, everyone has tears in their eyes.
Knowledge has changed life, and as a modern person, Liu Zhi certainly understands this truth, otherwise he would not have started to build a large number of schools as soon as he came to Sizhou City.
In ancient times, those scholars and doctors actually understood this truth, otherwise they would not have said that there was a golden house in the book, and there was Yan Ruyu in the book. But in order to rule the people more conveniently, they did not want to build so many schools.
But Liu Ill is different, he came to this other world, it is to serve these people, to establish a school, so that more people can obtain knowledge, it is far more affordable than giving them a thousand taels of silver tickets, didn't the ancestors say that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish.
So he asked the old patriarch to count how many school-age children there were in the nearby village to decide how big the school to run. He wants to make these rich and unrich children like the children of the people in Sizhou City. have the right to education.
What's more, Liu Yi firmly believes that as long as this sericulture base is built, the proceeds will be more than enough to support the school. You don't have to worry about it at all. Do it yourself. It's just the first start-up capital invested, and when a virtuous circle is formed in the future, everything will be easy to do!
Establish a sericulture base. It is already a great merit to give them a way to live, not to let these women and children show their flesh with their bare buttocks, but I didn't expect him to build a school, so that these children who understand can have sages to read, which is even more meritorious.
Thinking of this, his knees weakened, and he wanted to take those babies to kneel down and be grateful, but Liu Yi had done this not to make them grateful, not to mention how old the old patriarch was, wouldn't kneeling to him break his life?
But the old patriarch had to insist, although he could not kneel, but those babies said that they would also kneel, and Liu Yi had already seen that he was so stubborn and let him go.
After the three of them had dinner, Guo Xiang and Xiao Zhao went to bed early, but Liu couldn't sleep at all, so he made a renovation plan for Liujiaqi overnight.
Early the next morning, he asked Zhang Danfeng to pull the clothes of the two carriages from the ready-to-wear workshop, and asked the soldiers to drive the carriage with him to Liujiaku, yesterday may have been too tired, Guo Xiang and Xiao Zhao were unwilling to go to the countryside with him, and the nature of accompanying him became Dongfang Undefeated.
When they hadn't arrived at Liujiakun, the situation at the scene really scared them a lot, this time the old patriarch did not let those women and children hide, but all drove them out, standing on both sides of the road, sandwiching the road to welcome Liu Ai, singing and dancing along the way, so that Liu Ai, who was used to seeing big scenes, felt embarrassed.
Liu Ill has built a sericulture base here, it is good to give them a way to live, but in the final analysis, this is also business, doing business is a win-win situation, if Liu Ill has made these sericultures into silk, made into garments, and then sold through the sales network of rivers and lakes, his income will be more.
But these ordinary people didn't think about it so much, they just felt that this financial road had been brought to them by Liu Ill, and they should be grateful, and no one cared about who had more and who got less.
When Dongfang Undefeated was the former leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, the sect members would chant those slogans every time they saw her, but she knew that at least most of those who chanted were not right-hearted, and what they needed was not her Dongfang Undefeated, but the antidote to the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill in her Dongfang Undefeated hands.
And these people's shouts for Liu Ai have come from the heart, without the slightest hypocrisy, and these ordinary people who can't even survive don't know how to be hypocritical. This made Dongfang Undefeated very moved, and she felt that she was already following the right person with Liu Ill.
No one is born to want to be a demon, she is undefeated in the East, and no one is born to want to be poor, at least these people don't want to, they are diligent, but diligence may not necessarily get rich, you have to find the right way, Liu Yi has given them such a road.
The carriage in Liujiakuo's village could not enter, because the road into the village was too narrow, and Liu Ai originally wanted to order those soldiers to move their clothes in, but the old patriarch said that he was unwilling to say anything, and asked more than a dozen strong laborers to move all the things into the village.
Liu Yi didn't let those pro-soldiers enter the city, but let them drive the carriage back to Sizhou City directly, which made the old patriarch look a little embarrassed, saying that since he came, at least he had to drink cold water before leaving, the people of Huaxia were so simple.
When Liu Yi had entered Liujiakun, the patriarchs of the next few villages were already waiting at the old patriarch's house, and after they received the old patriarch's letter last night, they were so excited that they didn't sleep all night, for fear that they would fall asleep and miss the hour, so they all came to the old patriarch before the third watch.
In the middle of the night, they were too embarrassed to knock on the door of the old patriarch's house, and they all sat on his steps, and took a nap against the wall, and when the old patriarch saw this scene when he opened the door this morning, he did not laugh at them, for he was more excited than they were yesterday.
In the past, it was normal for the people to kneel to officials, and even a magistrate could accept the knees of the people, not to mention that Liu Ill had been the lord of the dynasty, such a big official.
But Liu Yi was not used to their kneeling, so when their knees were just bent, he stopped them, and the old patriarch also knew that Liu Yi didn't like these anymore through yesterday's interactions, and he also pulled them up next to him.
Came to the old patriarch's living room, although it was said that the old patriarch was the lord and Liu Ill was already a guest, but the old patriarch said that Liu Ill had already sat on the main seat, and he was sitting in the guest seat with the other patriarchs.
This time, the old patriarch may have been prepared, preparing two brand-new teacups for Liu Ai and Dongfang Undefeated, and making a pot of tea for them, although these teas are not of the highest quality, and can even be said to be inferior, but it is enough to explain the old patriarch's intentions.
Liu Ill has never been particular about these, and he drank a cup of tea in his arms, and Dongfang Undefeated only took a small sip and let her drink this kind of tea, it was really better to let her drink boiled water, but Dongfang Undefeated has been with Liu Ill, and his mentality has been much calmer, although he doesn't like it, he doesn't show it in the slightest.
When Dongfang Undefeated saw the big girl and little baby in this village, he finally understood why Guo Xiang and Xiao Zhao didn't come with them.
After Liu Ai had finished drinking a cup of tea, he asked the old patriarch to order him to divide the clothes he brought, although these places were outside the effect of Sizhou City, but they also belonged to Liu Ai's territory, and he had to let his subjects dress decently.
The people gathered outside the door heard that there were new clothes, and before the old clan could give the order, they ran away like a swarm, and the old patriarch saw this and muttered in his heart: "These people have really never seen the world!"
His casual muttering was really right, the farthest place they walked was the nearby market, they hadn't even entered Sizhou City, and they had really never seen the world.
Liu Yi naturally didn't care if they had seen the world or not, he came this time to discuss with these patriarchs about the sericulture base, so after saying a few polite words, Liu Ying had already taken out the plan he had designed yesterday and showed it to these patriarchs.
In a family that can achieve the position of patriarch, in addition to showing that his seniority is high, he still has some knowledge, but what Liu Yi can't imagine is that they can't understand their own design.
Liu Yi had no choice but to repeat it verbally, and these patriarchs only asked one question after listening to it for a while: "It's no problem for us to raise sericulture, but what should you do if you don't accept it?"
This is the only question they asked, and it is also a very realistic question, it seems that the heads of these patriarchs are not too stupid, of course, for this question, Liu Yi has already thought about it last night.
That is, I will buy it first, and you will raise it later, to put it bluntly, you will report your output, I will pay you first, if you can't hand over so much silkworm, and then return the excess money to me!
And Liu Ill has also made a guarantee to them, that is, if there is a natural disaster or something, all the losses will be borne by Liu Ill, as soon as Liu Ill said this, the patriarchs of the gang suddenly looked at each other, they couldn't believe that this was true, they had never heard of anyone willing to pay for natural disasters, so in their thinking, they had never thought of this at all.
They naturally don't believe it, Liu Yi already understands this very well, and for these people who can't even hit their heads with leaves, they can't even think of pies falling from the sky.
Therefore, in order to reassure them, Liu Yi took out a silver ticket as a security deposit, and signed a contract with them on ......the spot!
