"No, no, don't worry, village chief. We are all very happy to be alive. We have food and drink these days, and money in the future. We can laugh even in our dreams."
"Yes, who dares to be a white-eyed wolf? Everyone's saliva drowned him to death."
The village chief finally calmed down, and pointed to the mountains and riverbanks, saying, "On the mountains and riverbanks, whatever you plant this year, you will have to plant whatever you want. Arrange it together. Half of the future production will be distributed according to the amount of each family's land, and half will be returned to the income of the valley."
The villagers continued to be confused, and Li Laoer continued to explain patiently, "That is to say, each of our families will add money to the income. We have 400 acres of land together and earn 800 taels at the end of the year. Half of it is 400 taels. Your family has 8 acres of land and is divided into 800 taels of silver. The remaining 400 taels are added to the income of the valley, because everyone works together. , it makes a difference to work more or less. The income of the valley will eventually be deducted from everyone's wages and capital, and then divided into dividends."
Some villagers understand, and some do not.
The village chief became impatient and shouted loudly, "Just remember, work hard, and I will write down your work every day. At the end of the year, you will get a share of the land at home, and you will still get wages for your work. You can get a share of the money earned by the valley hot spring. Let's build the village together. Whoever does more will get more money and live a better life! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Sure enough, the old man's pipe pot With a wave of his hand, everyone who didn't understand was yelled at to understand.
The village chief added, "The second brother can write and do math. From now on, I will leave it to him to record the work and calculate how much money each family will get. When I get old and can no longer shout, I will leave it to the village chief." Give it to him, do you have any objections?"
"No!" This time everyone shouted louder than before.
They are all ordinary farm men, they don't have much wisdom, but they are always smart.
Whether it is Mr. Wen, Mrs. Cui, or Mr. Ye, they were all recruited by the Li family, and they have benefited all the way.
After Li Laoer became the village chief, they hugged the Li family even tighter. As long as we don't fall behind, we will definitely have the right time.
However, Li Laoer was caught off guard and was given the role of the village chief's heir. It was a bit sudden. He wanted to refuse, but everyone dispersed in an instant.
Every family's money bag was dug out. Your family had one share, and my family had two shares. The money was quickly paid.
Li Laoer quickly took out a pen and paper, and everyone in the family wrote it down.
Everyone knows that if you buy more shares, you will get an extra bonus, but they also need to be rich.
This was still in the mountains and forests. I robbed the bandits and got some windfall. Otherwise, my family would not be able to buy one share.
But some people have many old people and children, young and old, and the bandits stayed in the valley after they robbed the bandits, so they really can't join together.
In the end, the village chief makes the decision and half shares can be bought.
So, excluding the Li family, there were a total of twenty-four households in the village, and they actually collected thirty shares.
Mrs. Li also spent all the money at the bottom of the box and bought twenty shares.
This is half enough. With the remaining half, Mr. Ye will not be too stressed even if Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen do not participate.
There were more than two hundred taels of silver in Jiayin's space, and she wanted to take them out to buy more shares for her family. It would be great to share the money while lying down.
Unfortunately, everyone in the family was away, and grandma didn't give her this chance, so she settled the matter directly.
She could only give up and look forward to the arrival of Ye Shan and Dong Mei. They were good helpers arranged by Mr. Ye for her.
Perhaps her earnest desire was felt by Young Master Ye over there in Xindu.
The next day, he came over with Ye Shan and Dong Mei, as well as the two thousand kilograms of grain rewarded by the emperor.
The valley is as happy as the New Year, because the two thousand kilograms of grain rewarded by the emperor are actually japonica rice!
If this is replaced by whole grains, it will definitely be enough for everyone to last until the end of summer. By then, the vegetables will be grown, and the mountains and fields will be full of food. You can fill your stomach no matter what, and you will not be afraid of starvation.
In fact, just a word from the emperor has a lot to ask about how the people below should handle it. After all, sorghum is also a grain, and millet is also a grain. Why must we give japonica rice?
But Marquis Xinting went to ask for it in person and brought his own soldiers to help transport it. Who dared to do anything, so two thousand kilograms of japonica rice was delivered.
The village chief was so happy that his chest almost reached the sky, and he waved the pipe pot in his hand very powerfully.
He shouted to the villagers to unload the grain, and then said, "During this period of time, we need to open up wasteland and build valleys. We should all eat together. When we are all done, we will divide the remaining grain. At that time, everyone will have a good meal." , it's up to you."
"Listen to the village chief!"
"Yes, we will do whatever the village chief says."
The villagers responded one after another, making the village chief even happier.
Mr. Ye hugged Jiayin and took out a pack of osmanthus candies. Jiayin smiled and held it in his hand, drooling with joy.
Mrs. Li made Mr. Ye sit down and told her what happened last night. Mr. Ye called Ye Shan and Dongmei to come forward.
"Auntie, I'm going to fight in the north of the Yangtze River again soon. I'll leave Ye Shan and Dongmei behind so that they can help the family and take care of Fu Niuer. In addition, the money from the investment will also be given to the village. Get some things, and they will be responsible for delivering them when the time comes."
Old Mrs. Li heard the bad words and quickly asked, "How long will you be gone this time? But if you come back early, it is really dangerous. You must save your life. It's important."
Mr. Ye smiled and responded, "Don't worry, Auntie, I know, I will leave early and come back early."
Mrs. Li stopped nagging. Seeing that the sun was already reaching her head, she quickly got up and called Tao Hongying to cook. , let Master Ye eat before leaving.
Mr. Ye took advantage of this moment to signal Ye Shan and Dongmei to come forward and said, "In the future, when I am not here, you must always protect the safety of the Li family and Fu Niu, especially Fu Niu. Her words are mine, don't question them. Just obey orders."
Ye Shan and Dong Mei quickly knelt down and bowed their heads respectfully in response.
Jiayin's eyes were shining as she looked at Ye Shan and Dongmei. She turned around and kissed Mr. Ye deeply, "Uncle Ye is the best!"
Mr. Ye smiled and wiped the saliva on his face, and then wiped the corners of Jiayin's mouth. , warned, "You still have to be careful, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Jiayin nodded her little head heavily, and her little white teeth were exposed in joy.
After dinner, Mr. Ye set off. The villagers sent him off. Before he could go back, a young and dandy-looking young man arrived with a group of craftsmen.
Needless to say, this is Master Zhou's brother-in-law.
Everyone finally knew why Mr. Zhou had repeatedly explained yesterday, because his brother-in-law really didn't look reliable.
Not to mention the colorful clothes he wore, he walked crookedly and spoke casually, but when he looked at the entire valley, the light in his eyes was piercingly bright.
Just like a mouse seeing japonica rice, a rabbit seeing cabbage, or a child seeing osmanthus sugar.
If the people in the village hadn't seen this look, they would have wanted to chase them away. I really don't dare to leave the place where the whole village will settle down in the hands of such a person.
