Chapter 756
Those who could not survive in Bailu Village were sent by Zhou Qiang to go up the mountain to farm.

The food Zhou Qiang gave them was enough for their family to survive.

This is an act of benevolence and righteousness.

Zhou Qiang's benevolence and righteousness spread in the village.In contrast is Lu Zilin.Lu Zilin's reputation was already rotten.

Bai Jiaxuan also called villagers to the ancestral hall to discuss a solution.

"The government collects poll tax, and life is hard for everyone.

Some of them couldn't survive anymore, and it was Zhou Qiang who helped them go up the mountain to farm and gave them a way to survive.

In the future, there will be more people who cannot survive.

Everyone is talking about what to do. "

"Rebellion against farmers! Patriarch, you lead us to rebellion!" Immediately, many people encouraged Bai Jiaxuan to make trouble.

Before, Bai Jiaxuan took the lead in causing trouble.

This time, everyone put their hopes on Bai Jiaxuan.

"If you want to fight against the peasants, you have to ask Lu Zilin first. Lu Xiangyue, he is now a member of the government, can he agree to our rebellion?" Bai Jiaxuan kicked the ball to Lu Zilin, who was pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"Lu Zilin is the government's dog leg, what's the use of asking him?" The villagers hated Lu Zilin to the core.

"Be careful of Lu Zilin's reporting. Last time, Lu Zilin reported to Tian Fuxian."

"Get Lu Zilin out!"

"Bai Xing'er, Sang Laoba, they are also driven out, they are all the same!"

"Fart!" Lu Zilin finally couldn't help it anymore, "If you want to make trouble, I won't stop you.

But I sue you.

This poll tax is different from the three carts of grain that were overcharged last time.

The poll tax is collected throughout the province.

Don't say that we in Bailuyuan, even the people of Zishui County, it is useless to fight against the farmers together.

Those who dare to make trouble will be arrested and shot.

Do not believe you try! "

Lu Zilin Chi Guoguo's words stunned the villagers.

No one dared to say that there was an uprising in the peasants, and they were all afraid of death.

Bai Jiaxuan was smoking a dry pipe and didn't speak.

Bai Jiaxuan didn't want to make trouble either.

After making a fuss once and being in jail once, Bai Jiaxuan became a little scared.

Bai Jiaxuan was a little afraid of death.

After Bai Jiaxuan is afraid of death, no one cares about the fairy grass, baby, and old lady.

Zhou Qiang didn't speak either.

Nor does he support rioting.

Under the general trend, let Bai Jiaxuan take the lead in making troubles, and Bai Jiaxuan will undoubtedly die.

The villagers who followed the riots might also be beaten to death.

After death, you have to continue to pay taxes, and no one can escape.

Unless you hide in the deep mountains and old forests.

"Let's do this." Lu Zilin continued, "I know it's not easy for everyone. My Lu family will give out ten buckets of grain to the needy neighbors."

Lu Zilin didn't finish his sentence.

Zhou Qiang interrupted.

"Ten Dou?" Zhou Qiang's voice was very loud, "The Lu family only offered ten Dou?
Deer old pick, you are really picky!
You haven't been bringing food to your home these days, have you?

I saw a cart full of grain, which you sneaked home in the middle of the night.

On the way, he gave Widow Li a bag of grain.

Is this food taken from the security office?
What's the matter with this food? "

As soon as Zhou Qiang finished speaking, someone continued: "It's not just a car, I've seen it twice.

Every time I send food to Widow Li's house.

In the middle of the night, I went in and had a cup of tea.

I don't know what to do with this cup of tea.

Luxiang, tell us, what did you do when you entered Widow Lee's house in the middle of the night? "

"What else can I do? It's nothing more than that shit!

Lame master, how many carts of food did Lu Zilin bring home? "

"It's the cripple, you must have seen it all, right?"

"Cripple, tell me."

"This." The crippled watchman looked at Bai Jiaxuan, who nodded slightly, "Well, I saw Luxiang pull three carts of grain home, full of them, such strong cattle, they almost couldn't pull them."

"Three carts of grain? So much!"

"This is Lu Zilin embezzling our food!"

"Lu Zilin, that bastard, will die!"

"Hand over, three carts of grain will be handed over to us!"

"Widow Li's three bags of food have to be taken out!"

Widow Li was more aggressive, she hurriedly shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!
Lu Zilin didn't give my family food, and he didn't go to my house either! "

"Widow Li, dare to do it or not?
Who in our village doesn't know what happened between you and Lu Zilin? "

"Lu Zilin's wife doesn't know!" Someone immediately replied.

"Lu Zilin and the two children don't know either!"

"Lu Zilin's father must know!"

If no one dared to say these words before.

Now, the reputation of the Lu family is rotten, and everyone wants to expose Lu Zilin's bad deeds.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Lu Taiheng finally couldn't help but said, "My Lu's family sends out a cart of grain, hand it over to the clan, and let the clan leader distribute it."

Hearing that Lu Taiheng was willing to take out a cart of grain, everyone didn't say anything.

A cart of food is not rare, and the Lu family is bleeding.

Lu Zilin was a little bit reluctant, but didn't speak.Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep. If you take out a cart of grain now, you will embezzle two more carts later, and you will not suffer.

Bai Jiaxuan continued, "My family also sends out a cart of food."

The Bai family's wealth is much less than that of the Lu family.

Bai Jiaxuan had been married seven times before, which almost emptied the family savings.

After getting married, I didn't grow poppies to make money, and my family didn't have much money.

Bai Jiaxuan brought out a cart of grain, gritted his teeth.

"My family doesn't farm, so I can contribute some money." Mr. Leng said.No matter what year or month, doctors are not short of money.

"Then what." Zhou Qiang said, "Patriarch, this kind of relief is not a long-term solution.

The poll tax collected by Lu Zilin is not one year or two years.

After that, it will be collected every year.

We have to find a way to increase everyone's income. "

"That's right, it's not enough to rely on aid alone, we have to find a way." Several older people agreed with Zhou Qiang's statement.

Zhou Qiang went on to say: "Patriarch, isn't my mountain still short of people?

How about this.

If there was not enough food at home, they all went to the mountains to help me farm.

I dare not say anything else, but it is still possible to keep them from starving in the future. "

Zhou Qiang just finished speaking.

Immediately someone asked, "Xiaoqiang, can I go?"

"can."

"And me?"

"You can too."

"I want to go too."

In a short time, more than a dozen people wanted to go.

More people are just around the corner.

They all wanted to do more to keep their families from going hungry.

"Everyone be quiet." Bai Jiaxuan yelled, "In this way, those who want to help Xiaoqiang farm the land should stay, and everyone else should leave."

The old and the weak go away.

Young and strong stayed.

They all want to work here with Zhou Qiang.

"Come on, everyone come to Mr. Leng to register." Bai Jiaxuan and Mr. Leng stayed behind.

Lu Zilin and Lu Taiheng left.

If they don't leave, they are always pointed at.

Lu Taiheng's delivery of a cart of grain was nothing more than to restore the Lu family's notorious reputation.

Zhou Qiang found a way to survive for the people of Bailu Village.

This matter spread to other villages within a few days.

I heard that Zhou Qiang is recruiting people here.

People from other villages also came.

It's not just the people of Bailu Village who can't survive.

Lu Zilin, Tian Fuxian and the others are in charge of many villages in Bailucang.

The poll tax made it impossible for the people in these villages to survive, and they all wanted to find a way to survive.

Today, Zhou Qiang's house.

Zhou Qiang was drinking a little wine, humming comfortably, "I saw Zhang Fei Zhang Yide, standing on Dangyang Bridge, let out a big drink."

Pang An, the long-term worker, came over, "Boss, we have recruited a lot of people recently. I think there are enough people farming in the mountains, so there is no need to recruit any more."

"Have you recruited enough?" Zhou Qiang handed over the farming on the mountain to Pang An.

Pang An did his best.

Many things are well arranged.

"Yes, there are enough people." Pang An is not a cunning person, so he didn't think of doing more tricks.

"There are still many people looking for work?" Zhou Qiang asked.

"Yes, there are some people who came from afar recently, all because of the poll tax, and they can't survive."

"In this case, then continue to recruit people."

"What? Boss, why do you need to recruit people? If you recruit people, there is no work to do."

"Yes, continue to recruit people. I'll go to the county seat and build another mountain, so that everyone can have work and survive."

"Boss, the yams and artichokes we grow on this mountain may not make much money in a year." Pang An reminded.He felt that if Zhou Qiang let him farm on the mountain, he might lose money.

"I know. However, artichokes and artichokes are easy to make. Even if you can't make money, you can't lose much. Let's treat it as a way of life for the big guys."

"Boss, you are so benevolent."

Time passes year by year.

The poll tax has been collected.

The number of ordinary people who cannot survive is increasing year by year.

More and more people died of starvation.

Lu Zilin relied on commission and corruption, and the family's food piled up into mountains.

Some grains are about to go moldy and have to be sold.

Just who to sell it to?

In the past few years, Lu Zilin's grain has been sold to Zhou Qiang!
Not sold at high prices.

but below the market price.

What is going on here?
Lu Zilin's family has too much food and needs to sell it.

However, when everyone was short of food, Lu Zilin didn't dare to transport the food to the county to sell.

Lu Zilin was afraid of being robbed on the road.

In Bailu Village, Zhou Qiang is the only major food consumer.

Lu Zilin had to secretly discuss with Zhou Qiang and sell the grain to Zhou Qiang.

Knowing about Lu Zilin's situation, Zhou Qiang took advantage of Lu Zilin and took the opportunity to lower the price.

It was [-]% lower than the market price and bought Lu Zilin's grain.

Zhou Qiang's family.

Lu Zilin came again to sell grain.

"Boss Zhou, I'll sell you another three carts of grain. The price is still the same as before." A few years later, Lu Zilin became a little rich.

It's just that the reputation of being rich and unkind cannot be taken off.

Not only that, but there are also many nicknames such as dog legs, deer skin, etc., all of which were given to Lu Zilin by ordinary people.

The Lu family, including Lu Zhaopeng and Lu Zhaohai, are not liked by many people.

However, there are still friends around Lu Zilin, like Widow Li, who are close to the Lu family and want to take advantage.

"Luxiang, the price is about to change. The road to the county is not smooth recently, and my cost is higher." Zhou Qiang said unhurriedly, and took the opportunity to lower the price.

"How much?" Lu Zilin asked, pressing down on the fire.

"Let's drop another [-]%." The price Zhou Qiang said was not outrageous.

Lu Zilin thought about it, "Okay, then let's reduce it by another [-]%. We still have the old rules, you can't tell about my selling food."

"That can't be done, Luxiang, we have been working together for a few years, when did I say it?" Zhou Qiang is very honest.

"In the evening, you send someone to come." Lu Zilin said the specific arrangement.

At Lu Zilin's house, the food was moldy and needed to be sold.

But more common people are living in dire straits.

Many people cannot survive.

In just a few years, the number of beggars has increased a lot.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Qiang rented one more mountain top after another.

Farming in the mountains doesn't make much money. (If you can make money, it's not Zhou Qiang's turn.)
Fortunately, Zhou Qiang has a way to sell the potatoes and Jerusalem artichokes, and instead of losing money, he can make money.

In the case of supporting a lot of people, there is still a lot of surplus, Zhou Qiang is already quite himself.

Zhou Qiang didn't sell the yams directly, but sold them as French fries.

French fries are still overpriced.

Not for sale to the poor.

Zhou Qiang earns money from rich people.

Foreigners also like to eat French fries, and they sell them at a higher price.

Jerusalem artichoke is simple, it is sold as pickles.

Zhou emphasized that the taste of the mix is ​​excellent, and the sales of Jerusalem artichoke are also good.

However, the price of Jerusalem artichoke is very low, which is mainly sold to the poor.

With french fries and pickles, Zhou Qiang supported many people and made a lot of money.

Zhou Qiang's skills have spread throughout the past few years.

Who doesn't know, there is a wealthy Zhou family in Bailuyuan, Zhou Qiang, Boss Zhou.

Zhou Qiang is not only benevolent, but also capable.

Zhou house.

It occupies a large area.

The wall alone is very long and high.

Inside the wall, there is a small peach orchard and a cactus.

That's right, Zhou Qiang planted a cactus.

Under the influence of Zhou Qiang, many villagers followed suit to plant cacti.

Why did Zhou Qiang plant cactus?
Cacti are drought tolerant.

Cacti are edible.

This is food in a drought year.

A quadrangle with two entrances and two exits.

In the courtyard in front, the rooms are not too big or too small. They are mainly used for eating and entertaining guests, and there is also a side room for the servants to live in.

Zhou Qiang hired a few servants, two men and two women, both elderly, old man, and woman, to manage the house specially.

The courtyard at the back is relatively large.

For the structure, you can refer to the layout of the courtyard house in the movie "Raise the Red Lantern".

Zhou Qiang's old house has been taken care of by the family's long-term worker.

Zhou Qiang basically didn't care about grinding tofu, brewing wine, etc.

Only the work related to the formula, Zhou Qiang did it himself and didn't let anyone else do it.

Today's Zhou residence, the front yard is very lively.

Seven or eight matchmakers came.

They all heard the news and came to propose marriage to Zhou Qiang.

A few years passed.

Zhou Qiang is eighteen or nineteen years old.

Zhou Qiang's name has already been spread in Bailuyuan.

The Zhou family is the richest household in Bailuyuan.

This is recognized by everyone.

Zhou Qiang not only supported many people, but also made a lot of money.

Zhou Qiang not only has money, but also people.

Zhou Qiang has a guard with guns.

Doing business these days requires military force.

Zhou Qiang's guard team consisted of 60 to [-] people, all of them had fired dozens or hundreds of bullets, and their marksmanship was not bad.

Zhou Qiang let out the wind and wanted to find a wife.

Immediately there were many matchmakers.

In the past one or two years, there were also people who came to the door to talk about marriage, but Zhou Qiang made the excuse that he was young, so it didn't work out.

"Here, let me tell you the requirements." Zhou Qiang sipped his tea and moistened his throat. "It must be a woman from a scholarly family. She must be virtuous, virtuous, well-educated, and of course have a beautiful appearance. She must be under twenty-eight years old."

"Boss Zhou, why are you considered a scholarly family?"

"There must be a juren or scholar in the family." Zhou Qiang's request is a bit high.

Under normal circumstances, the family is a juren or a scholar, and the mix is ​​not too bad.

Such a family would generally not marry into Bailuyuan, and their daughters would only marry into an official's family in the county town.

Of course, Zhou Qiang's request was for Tian Xiao'e.

Tian Xiaoe's father could sell Tian Xiaoe for money.

"This..., it's not easy to find." Sure enough, the matchmaker was a little embarrassed.

"You go and inquire, you can do it both inside and outside the customs, and there is no rush, but it must be a woman from a scholarly family. The bride price is easy to talk about, and the wedding money for you is also indispensable.

Those who come today will each take one Ocean. "

"Thank you Boss Zhou for the reward!" The matchmaker was delighted.
