Parents are busy farming

The next day, Ye Zifen went to help Ye Yongwang organize people in the village to come to discuss harvesting food.

Fortunately, all the children in the village are at the training ground here. It is very convenient for them to go back for a run and notify the nearby people.

When Ye Yongwang came over, many people had already gathered in the small courtyard.

Ye Yongwang saw the children pouring water for everyone, and he immediately knew that Xiao Wu was helping him.

While his heart was moved, he suddenly felt at ease.

After everyone arrived, Ye Yongwang coughed slightly and everyone became quiet.

Started speaking: "Today is the first time since I became Li Zheng that I have called everyone together to discuss something."

Villager A: "Ye Lizheng, if you have something to say, we will listen!"

Villager B: "That's right! Ye Lizheng, just say it! We won't talk anymore."

Ye Yongwang saw that everyone was giving face to him and said directly: "The caravan needs food to go to the seaside. I think we can use our free time in winter to collect some food nearby and sell it to the caravan. We can make a little difference from it."

Villager C: "Ye Lizheng, it's not that we don't listen to you, it's just that we don't have money!"

Ye Zifen said before Ye Yongwang: "The caravan can lend you some money first, but you need to use your fields as collateral. Uncles and uncles, the money of our caravan does not come from the strong wind, it comes from our merchants." The people on the team earned their hard-earned money through hard work, so... I hope everyone can understand."

She felt that it was okay to be this evil person, and it was better than what Ye Yongwang said, so that everyone in the province thought that Ye Yongwang cared about their land.

Villager A: “Can we get the land back after we pay back the money?”

Ye Zifen replied: "Within the two-year period, it will be fine if you pay the money back within two years. But I want to make it clear that this money cannot be used for other things. If it is used, then I'm sorry..."

Ye Zifen didn't say everything, but everyone present understood the meaning of her words.

Ye Yongwang quickly said: "I will also go out to collect food."

Villager B: “But what should we do if we don’t have cows or donkeys?”

Ye Zifen immediately replied: "I actually don't agree with you using ox carts, because then people will think you are very rich and charge high prices, and then you will earn less. Secondly, if you use ox carts, those bandits will The class might be looking at you. So why not just work hard and make money!"

Only when she said this did everyone realize that she was making them cry poor! Then play the sympathy card.

People who were about to shrink back are filled with hope again.

The Ye family's great business can lead everyone to make money, so what can't they, the poor and the poor!

So Ye Zifen started to take money from everyone, while signing and pressing fingerprints. Finally, Ye Zifen asked Ye Yongwang to sign each contract.

After everything was done, Ye Zifen said again: "I plan to buy some wheat straw. If there is any extra at home, you can sell it to me."

After everyone heard this, they all said, “I have it at home!”

Ye Zifen added: "You go to collect the grain first, and come to Lao Li when you have time. I will ask him to check the quality and quantity of your straw. Then I will calculate the money for you!"

Then he said: "In addition, I will recruit a few temporary female workers here from time to time to do some work. At that time, Mother Feng will go to the village to spread the news."

Everyone was very happy to hear this, especially the women.

Although they didn't know what kind of work they were going to do, they figured they could handle it.

Seeing that nothing happened, everyone dispersed.

After everyone left, Ye Yongwang went to Ye Zitong and asked him to accompany him to collect grain.

Ye Zitong was very happy to hear this and followed happily.

After Ye Zifen returned to her room, she took out the fruits of yesterday's work and planned to go to the county town to find a blacksmith to have the things hammered out.

Zhang Gaoyi just came out of his small courtyard.

"What have you been doing these two days?" Ye Zifen asked.

Zhang Gaoyi smiled and said: "Didn't you do anything?"

Ye Zifen raised her eyebrows and then wanted to walk out.

Zhang Gaoyi looked at it and quickly followed.

"Why are you following me?" Ye Zifen asked deliberately.

Zhang Gaoyi said with a smile: "I originally wanted to follow you."

"Is there anything else to do today?" Ye Zifen asked.

Zhang Gaoyi said: "Yes, today's business is to accompany you."

Ye Zifen's depressed mood in the past few days has finally eased a little.

"What are you going to do today?" Zhang Gaoyi asked.

Ye Zifen looked at Zhang Gaoyi delicately and said with a smile: "I promised to install a set of pipes for the girls on Zhuangzi, the kind that can be heated. I drew the drawings last night and planned to go to the blacksmith shop in the city to see if they could Can’t get it out.”

As soon as Zhang Gaoyi heard about it: "Show me the drawings."

Ye Zifen immediately took out the wrapped drawings from the basket on her body.

After reading it, Zhang Gaoyi said: "This is a bit difficult for you, but it's not impossible. Come on, I'll take you to find someone. He should be able to help you get it done."

Ye Zifen asked: "Who is it?"

Zhang Gaoyi explained: "My sister's uncle is a blacksmith, and he likes to make these messy things."

Ye Zifen asked curiously: "You have a good relationship with them?"

Zhang Gaoyi said: "My hunting ability was taught by that uncle. He was very good to me and he was not sure about being an outsider, so I also regarded him as my uncle."

Zi Zifen really envied Zhang Gaoyi, "Why haven't I heard you talk about him?"

He explained: "My uncle has some opinions on my parents and thinks my mother is lazy."

Ye Zifen stopped asking immediately after hearing this.

Zhang Gaoyi, however, didn't think anything was wrong and continued: "It's not that my eldest sister got married and had a child. My mother went to take care of her confinement, so my uncle changed his view of her."

Ye Zifen asked: "What about your biological uncle?"

Zhang Gaoyi said: "My mother was sold as a child bride by her parents when she was a child. Later, the family moved away for some reason. There is no news yet."

Ye Zifen nodded clearly.

Soon they turned a corner two kilometers away from the county seat.

Under the leadership of Zhang Gaoyi, they came to a place called Majia Village.

Then after entering the village, after twists and turns, we came to a big house with blue bricks and red tiles.

"Your uncle's family is very wealthy!" Ye Zifen said softly.

"No comparison with your family!" Zhang Gaoyi replied.

"Tch! There are a lot of things you don't know, don't just look at the appearance!" Ye Zifen said something ambiguous.

Zhang Gaoyi didn't know why he could hear loneliness in her words.

Thinking back to her state yesterday, he was even more certain that something had happened. He would investigate it carefully after driving back and forth.

But for now, I still have to help her get those pipes out.

Then they came to the door and knocked.

"Who is it?" came the voice of a middle-aged woman inside.

Zhang Gaoyi quickly replied: "My aunt is me, Gao Yi."
