The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 351
"As long as you can accept it, if you don't want to experience the dilemma of making money hard and eating shit, you have to be cruel.

Remember, after you go abroad, you have to remember that only cruel people can make a fortune. If you want to accumulate money in a serious way, you will get old when you have money.

In the future, if you want to do big things, don't be ruthless and practice slowly.

The things Lao Du and I are afraid of will make you become hard-hearted little by little.

No more talking, let’s go up and take a look, find a place to test the gun..."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had changed, Li Shengli stopped preaching.

He didn't know what he and Du Jiaoyang were going to go through. He still had to take it one step at a time, but he had to make good preparations in the early stage.

It's just like giving her a fancy stick. If you don't try it and don't know if she can use it, just give it to her. If it goes wrong, you will be the one who gets hurt.

Along the way, we passed three tents by the stream. The mountain forest near the mountain village is also blessed with many water sources, which is why there are many medicinal materials.

Over at Wali, Zhao Mankui said he could only protect his capital, and he may have been optimistic. He estimated that the average person on the mountain was twenty pounds.

Over there in Wali, if you can't get more than ten kilograms, it will be a good harvest. Maybe ten kilograms is also a very difficult level. The reason is that there are few water sources in the mountains.

Halfway through, Li Shengli saw Yang Wenshan and asked where Xiao Feng and Yang Yulian were.

The two of them had already led a large group of people deeper into the mountains. It would take almost an afternoon just to walk there.

The few tents that have just passed are used for cleaning and transporting medicinal materials. According to the date given by the master of Tong Ren Tang, Xiao Feng will put in the drill for another day, and the scope of the spring harvest will finally be determined.

After picking up the medicinal materials for insertion, it will take three to five days to transport them. After the rhizome medicinal materials picked in spring are transported down the mountain, it is almost time to collect the artichokes.

Instead of going into the mountain to join Xiao Feng and Yang Yulian, Li Shengli asked Yang Wenshan to point him to a secluded place, and took Du Jiaoyang there to test the gun.

Whether it is spring harvest or autumn harvest, all Li Shengli can do is to give Yang Yulian a general framework. He really wants him to do it himself as he did this time, to define the scope.

After that, he wouldn't have to do anything else. Just collecting herbs every year would take several months of his time.

Following Yang Wenshan's directions and finding a mountain wall where no one would appear in front of him, Li Shengli asked Du Jiaoyang to give it a try.

Today's militia training basically covers all areas, from cities to rural areas, from the elderly to children. There are not many people who can't shoot.

Some families in rural areas, or even their entire families, have experienced militia training.

As a youngster and a college student, Du Jiaoyang has received a lot of training. As a female gangster in the circle, she can also be good at shooting.

Therefore, Du Jiaoyang's marksmanship is very good, and he is very familiar with Huakou Luzi.

Seeing her skillfully press the bullet, load the gun, and shoot. After the shooting, she even played a trick and blew the barrel of the gun fluidly. Li Shengli felt relieved that this was also a familiar trick.

The only fly in the ointment is that the short guns in the secret room of the other courtyard are all without holsters, which is not a problem for Du Jiaoyang.

She may not be able to get the gun, but the holster is still okay. Even if the original one is not available, it can be made freshly made.

After testing the gun, Li Shengli did not go into the mountain again. Instead, he took Du Jiaoyang to have lunch in a tent where medicinal herbs were washed and dried.

Although the food here in the tent is just sorghum rice and pickles, in this day and age, it is a very good meal for a full meal.

When Li Shengli saw the sorghum, he knew it was food from Madianji.

No matter in Wali, in the mountains, or in Madianji, sorghum is not grown. Compared with corn and wheat, the yield of sorghum is small.

Mountainous areas are not suitable for planting either. Sweet potatoes and pumpkins yield more per acre. Although they are not much in exchange for food, if sorghum is grown in mountainous areas, only sorghum will grow instead of sorghum rice. If you plant a field for one year, you will harvest a broomstick seedling. That would be annoying.

Sorghum rice is obtained from the winery in exchange for mutton. If you exchange it for other grains, you need to discount the price. Sorghum rice is considered the most affordable.

The steamed buns are inedible, but the sorghum rice is still a good ration.

After lunch, Li Shengli talked to Du Jiaoyang again about the prospects for harvesting medicinal materials in the mountains and valleys. This could be regarded as taking her through the case.

Pang Hei went down the mountain and ate sweet potato noodles and steamed buns in the village that were different from those in the mountains. Compared with the stew pots in Wali, the food on the mountain was far inferior, but Du Jiaoyang's food here was not as fresh as it was, so it was just fine. down.

At night, there were no female soldiers from the Xiao family in the other courtyard, so the two of them could relax. After some things were on the right track, it would be a matter of course, which was quite happy.

According to the deadline given by Tongrentang's master craftsman, Xiao Feng came out of the mountain the next night to insert the hammer. This can only be regarded as a coincidence. In the future, the mountain will have to train its own mountain harvesters. It is impossible to let Xiao Feng On behalf of.

When he got off the mountain, he saw his aunt following his uncle. Xiao Feng also frowned slightly. When doing things, he had no time to think about it. After the work was done, he was also upset when he saw the two men who were mixing honey with oil.

Yang Yulian did not follow Xiao Feng down the mountain. It would take two days to transport the subsequent medicinal materials to the front of the mountain. It would take almost five days to transport them all.

Some laborers from Madianji also began to evacuate the mountain villages in batches.

Especially for some strong laborers, after the beginning of spring, even if the business in the brigade continues to improve, there may not be much demand for women, but the demand for strong laborers is different.

Just building canals after the beginning of spring is a huge human investment. Under current conditions, in many places, the only thing that can satisfy agricultural production is water sources, so building canals is also a top priority, which involves autumn harvest yields.

The strong laborers from Madianji began to return home in batches, and Tongrentang also began to purchase goods before the medicinal materials company.

After the selection, an additional five cents was added to each pound, and the first income from Shanshan and Wali arrived.

Because it is not the normal medicinal material harvesting season, Tongrentang and the medicinal material company all set cash settlements. They only have subsidized grain and need to open a note.

Because it is not the harvest season, the food subsidized by selling medicinal materials needs to be filled with formal notes after autumn and wait for the settlement at the end of the year.The situation in communes and grain stations is similar, but nowadays, there is no problem with the ability to cash out IOUs, and no one dares to play tricks on them.

If the note is not honored, it involves food rations and life and death. If you mess around on this matter, you are asking for trouble.

The price was set, and it was enough for Yang Wenshan to participate in the weighing of the medicinal materials. With the profit of the first trip of medicinal materials and a little more than two dollars, the party secretary of the mountain village also looked like he was crying.

Two thousand three hundred and fifty six and eighty-five cents. Although the money in hand is not enough to pay for the labor in Madianji, it is the largest income of the mountain village in the past seven or eight years.

This money may not be much to Li Shengli, but it has a different meaning to the mountain village. Being able to see cash means that there is hope for life.

In previous years, whether it was to withdraw money from the government or pay public grain, the mountain village was nothing more than passing notes, and the cash that needed to be settled at the end of the year was also paid in lump sums.

Most of the time, the accounts at the end of the year have to be delayed until after the autumn harvest of the next year before they can be cashed out one by one.

Tongrentang took away the first batch of medicinal materials, and Yang Yulian also led people down the mountain. Looking at the two swords on the table, her expression was the same as that of Yang Wenshan.

That night, at Yang Yulian's house, a hard dish was placed on the table, old hen stewed with yellow essence. This was also the first reward from the mountain village to Li Shengli.

"In the scorching sun, chicken stewed with Polygonatum japonica is warm and nourishing to the spleen, qi and yin. It's good for you."

Looking at more than one old hen in the clay pot, this is considered an investment for the mountain village.

Without letting Yang Yulian speak first, Li Shengli pointed to the pottery basin, and his meaning was very clear. The Du family's relationship was used in this move on the mountain. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, everyone in the village on the mountain must remember it, and thank Du Jiaoyang.

Although Brother Tong's mission reward has not yet come out, Li Shengli knows that with Mr. Lu's intervention, the mountain and Wali will become the base of the medicinal company.

Even if the leaders of the township and district can't ask for help from Mr. Lu, they still have the power. As long as they are related to Mr. Lu, things will not work if they don't do it. This is not about wealth but life.

"Sister Jiaoyang, I don't have much to offer at home. When you have children in the future, I will help you with it..."

Listening to Yang Yulian's pointed words, Du Jiaoyang wrinkled his nose and glared at Li Shengli, but he could only nod helplessly.

Not to mention the children, not even Lao Du could stop the female gangster from being eager to go abroad. Considering the children she might have, Yang Yulian was undoubtedly a good choice.

Just because she is a helpless widow, and because of what her man Li Shengli has done for the mountain village, this little widow from the mountain village will definitely treat the children of the Li family more seriously than her own children.

"Sister Yang..."

It's not that Du Jiaoyang doesn't know some of Yang Yulian's little thoughts, it's just that his men are different from other men.

Just like Lao Du choosing a son-in-law to cut off Lao Ding Hu's head, this also involves relationships in the circle. Men in the family will not choose women casually.

Neither Wang Zhi in the valley nor Yang Yulian in front of him met Li Shengli's requirements. Perhaps the greater threat was the little maid following him.

Du Jiaoyang had nothing in common with Yang Yulian. Du Jiaoyang gave a perfunctory shout to Sister Yang, and the words he just said were complete.

"Jiaoyang, sister, I have to thank your man for Shengli. If it weren't for him, there would be no hope for life on the mountain.

Don’t worry, whenever Victory comes to the mountain, it will be like your own home. "

With words of gratitude, Yang Yulian had already said too much when she came down the mountain. When she really wanted to say it, she only had a few common words left.

It is so difficult to make money these days. Paying public food is a tax, it is mandatory, and no money is given.

If the village wants to exchange money, more than half of the villages have to exchange grain. Food in the mountain villages can be sold for six cents or eight cents per pound, just with additional food stamps.

For nearly 400 yuan, it would cost about [-] kilograms of grain. This is the amount of public grain the village in the mountain receives for a year.

This is because there has been no increase in the balance in recent years. During the war years, the increase in public rations was [-]% to [-]%.

In addition to the public grain, it is also necessary to save seeds and raise seeds. If you remove the necessary grain rations, the output of the fields will be meager.

In terms of the general environment, if workers want to develop industry, they cannot ask for help. Civil servants have little money and cannot find a way out of capital. When encountering problems, they can only ask farmers for help.

Help means buying food or additional levied public food. If you remove this part, there will be very little left in the already meager income.

Yang Yulian has calculated the account of collecting herbs countless times on the mountain. After excluding the labor money that needs to be paid in Madianji, the village on the mountain will probably have this first income left.

Although when collecting herbs, the food tube is full and the food is consumed a little more, but in general, compared with farming, collecting herbs is still very profitable.

This is more than 2000 left from just one spring harvest. In addition to the subsequent autumn harvest and the breeding of local turtles that Li Shengli was planning last year, Yang Yulian is also looking forward to this year's new year.

After saying this, some of Yang Yulian's thoughts were basically made clear. Du Jiaoyang didn't react much to this. This actually boosted the little widow's arrogance, and she gave Li Shengli a wink.

"Sister Yang, things have just begun, since the prospects are good.

The money left over from the spring harvest should be divided equally among the people in the mountains and villages.

I estimate it's only one labor fee, so don't keep this money in the account, just pay it as you go, to avoid trouble later. "

It was not easy to make money. Li Shengli also knew that Yang Yulian was thoughtful, but he still asked for a share of the first income from the mountain.

Splitting money is a trivial matter, but it is a big deal if the money goes into the village head's account. There is no need to cause any more trouble...
