Old Village Chief Zhou was so angry that he glared at Village Chief He: "He Da, don't talk nonsense, the old man doesn't mean this!"
We are all grandfathers, don't you know that there are some things that you can't get to the bottom of?
And...
"You can't understand such a simple thing. No wonder Kaihe Village is getting worse and worse. You'd better quickly find a capable person to take over the position of village chief. Let's get out." Village Chief Zhou spoke very rudely, which made Village Chief He very angry.
Master Zhou said hurriedly: "My father has such a bad temper. Uncle He, don't be angry. I will apologize to you."
He bowed to the village chief He.
The village chief did not fall out.
Xue Dongjia laughed: "Is this Mr. Zhou? I heard from Team Leader Zhou earlier that when I saw him today, he is indeed an elegant and honest man."
He said again : "Monitor Zhou once lamented that on Tuesday It's a pity that I didn't continue studying to take the exam. "
Mr. Zhou said hurriedly: "It's not a pity. With my knowledge, I can't pass the exam. I might as well stay in the village and help my father. ”
It seems that Tuesday is the successor of old village chief Zhou.
"Master Zhou, do you want to sell the grassroots of Zhoujia Village to our Xuejia Trading Company?" Dongjia Xue asked. If Zhou Laoer does well, his Xue family will help Zhou's family.
After all, the Zhou family has been helped up, and the Qin family can also have a helper in the countryside.
Master Zhou looked at the old village chief Zhou, and the old man said: "Dong Xue's family is asking you a question. Come back quickly. What do you want me to do?!"
Master Zhou did not agree immediately, but He asked the Xue Dong family a question: "If the Qin family refuses to cooperate with the Xue family, will the Xue family be angry?"
Angry is a rather euphemistic word.
Xue Dongjia smiled, shook his head and said: "My Xue family has always admired people who have the ability, and if the business cannot be concluded, there is no righteousness. Our Xue family's business has a lot of business that cannot be negotiated. If the transaction cannot be negotiated, just contact us. If a person becomes an enemy, then the enemy must be spread all over Northeast China.” The owner saluted: "Thanks to the Xue Dong family, our Zhoujia Village is willing to sell half of the grass roots to your family."
"Sure, let's sign the contract now." The Xue Dong family quickly asked Manager Xue to write it There are two contracts, and the contract states that "Zhoujiacun will sell half of the grass roots to the Qin family."
After reading it on Tuesday, Mr. Zhou had no objections and signed and fingerprinted.
The village chief He was anxious and wanted to sign it, but he felt that selling half of the grass roots to the Qin family for ten cents was too much of a loss.
Master Zhou sighed: "Uncle He, your village should also sign, otherwise it will be difficult to sign in a few days."
"But Team Leader Zhou has revealed it to you and his son. What's wrong? Otherwise, why would you, father and son, always favor the Qin family?" asked the village head.
The old village chief Zhou turned black with anger and scolded Zhou Laoer: "You shouldn't talk too much to help their village and let their village continue to decline!"
Xue Dongjia glanced at Xue Steward.
Manager Xue came out to chase them away: "He village chief, if you don't sign the contract, you can leave."
Ah this?
He Village Chief struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "We in Kaihe Village will also sign and sell half of the grass roots to the Xue family and half of the grass roots to the Qin family...Xue Dongjia, please give your family a copy of the deed. ”
Xue Dongjia After listening, he took another look at the group of people behind Village Chief He. Seeing that no one looked dangerous, he nodded in agreement: "Manager Xue, take the deed."
Manager Xue immediately took the deed and handed it over. Read the rules in the book to them one by one. Village Chief He frowned when he heard this: "Why so many rules?"
If they resell it midway or not sell it, if the grass roots they sell are adulterated with poison, they will have to pay compensation and go to court.
Master Tuesday said: "The Xue family is not a street vendor, so the deed must be complete and detailed, which will be good for us."
The son of the village chief He spoke. Said: "Dad, Zhoujia Village has signed it, we are afraid of opening up Hehe Village What? Sign it quickly, we have to go into the mountains to grab the grass, otherwise the people from Niutoupo Village will dig up all the weeds. Their village is the backer of the mountain."
"I'll sign it now! "He signed the deed, took one of the deeds, and went back with the villagers.
The village chiefs of Niutoupo Village and Shiliu Village also came to inquire about the price. After learning that half of the grass roots would be sold to the Qin family for ten cents per catty, they all refused to sign.
"Let's sell it to the Yan family and Qu family, their prices are high."
Xue Dongjia doesn't force it, it's up to them to sell it or not.
From that day on, every village in Taifeng Town was digging for weeds.
Three days later, the news spread throughout Baofu County, and all poor families were digging weeds to sell.
Three days later, the weeds were dried in the sun. The farmers carried the hay roots to sell them. There were actually merchants who purchased the weeds for fifteen cents per pound.
As soon as the news spread, many villages brought carts of dried weeds into the county to sell.
“In Wangshan Village on the outskirts of the county, each household was sold for one silver, and the village chief’s family was sold for twenty taels of silver. And this is just the first batch. It will still grow in summer and autumn, and it can still be sold for at least ten taels. Return to the roots of wild grass, then every Each household can earn at least five taels of silver!"
When Mr. Han calculated the accounts, he was shocked: "Your Excellency, such a good business, I'm afraid it will be reported to the government! is better than The contribution of the new grain of arrowroot is even greater!"
Guan Annong said: "This contribution will be much greater than the new grain of arrowroot, just because these weeds are spread all over the Wei Dynasty, and they belong to the people of the entire Wei Dynasty. It is a way to make money that can benefit everyone, and the traditional mineral dyeing recipe has always been in the hands of the wealthy families. If the new dye can be popularized, it will definitely break the monopoly of the wealthy families, and the royal family will definitely be happy."
In this world, the secret recipes for making many things are in the hands of aristocratic families. As a result, the aristocratic families have made countless wealth, and their private wealth is more than the national treasury.
So no matter who becomes the emperor, he will do his best to break the family's monopoly. That's why Guan Annong said that the royal family would like the new dye.
Guan Annong looked at Magistrate Kang: "It's just that the magistrate has to decide whether to report this matter or not."
The Kang family is also a wealthy family.
After hearing this, Magistrate Kang remained silent for a long time. Master Han was so anxious that he winked at Guan Annong several times.
Guan Annong finally walked up to Magistrate Kang, knelt down and said, "Sir..."
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!" Magistrate Kang stood up in shock and stepped aside.
Guan Annong said: "Sir, in a short while, the news about the new dye will be reported to the government office and the chief envoy. At that time, the two government offices will definitely send people to see the new dye... The general trend is like this. If you can't stop it, why don't you support the new dye and put this The capital has been seized, otherwise the power will fall into the hands of others. "
The general trend is that manpower cannot compete. For example, Emperor Ning Kang could not compete with King Wuxing, just like the previous dynasty could not compete with the Wei Dynasty, just like hundreds of years ago. In the past, the official promotion system could not compete with the imperial examination system.
Since you can't compete, you have to join early so that you can control more things.
County Magistrate Kang thought of these words taught by his family motto, and finally said: "Get ready, I will rush to the ghost village today."
"My lord is wise, I will go and prepare now." Master Han was overjoyed and hurried Go to Team Leader Zhou and yell at him: "Hurry up and prepare the carriages and horses to escort the county magistrate to the ghost village. Hurry up!"
Don't give the county magistrate a chance to regret it.
