Across the Far Mountain Tea Farmers

Mrs. Wu stood in the corridor.The corridor eaves are wide, and the autumn wind is bleak.There was only a piece of withered yellow in the yard. She stared blankly into the distance, and the door was closed behind her.

Not long after, Mrs. Liu came out, glanced at her, and said, "Take good care of Uncle."

Mrs. Wu responded, saluted and sent Mrs. Liu away, turned around and stepped into the room, passing a middle-aged man in his thirties.Without looking sideways, she came to the old county uncle's bedside.

The old county uncle leaned against the head of the bed with a pale face, drinking the soup with his head down.

Wu took the medicine bowl away, and heard the old county uncle say behind his back: "Wan'er, you gave birth to a good son."

Wu's footsteps paused, and she didn't say anything in the end, but her eyes turned red quietly.

The middle-aged man who just walked out of the old county uncle's room appeared in Dacha Village that day.

Wen Lun looked at the wooden box handed over by the middle-aged man, took out the jade token, put it on the wooden box and pushed it back: "Father seems to have misunderstood something. Since shopkeeper Huang is here, help me bring my things with you." Let's go back."

Shopkeeper Huang looked at the wry smile on Wen Lun's face intentionally or unintentionally, frowned slightly, put the jade plaque away carefully, and was about to leave: "Young Master, don't worry."

Wen Lun shook his head, sighed, and smiled even more bitterly: "The mountain road is difficult to travel at night, shopkeeper Huang will leave tomorrow."

Shopkeeper Huang held the wooden box, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, Uncle's health has recovered a lot. Aunt Wu is also fine."

Wen Lun smiled and nodded.

Xiong Da didn't say a word, and when he returned to the room, he stretched out his arms to hug Wen Lun and patted his back: "Don't be sad."

Wen Lun was mostly acting just now, he wasn't sad at all, at most he just felt worthless for the original body.

This state of Qi is very different from the ancient history he had learned before.There are generally two ways for ordinary people to enter the court as officials: one is through election, and the other is through imperial examination.The gentry, officials and eunuchs all recommended their children to enter the court as officials, and those who participated in the imperial examination were all children from poor families.

Of course, it's okay for someone with an identity like Wen Lun to participate in the imperial examination; but in the eyes of the gentry, there are always no rules.The aristocratic family will place people in different places according to the identity and knowledge of each child according to the needs of family development.Yuan itself was just waiting for arrangements.Otherwise, according to the original body's kind of academic master, not to mention the number one scholar, at least he has a reputation.

In Wen Lun's eyes, the rules of the gentry are simply bullshit.His family is very democratic, and any major decision is discussed at a family meeting. No matter how naive his opinions are, his parents will listen to his opinions patiently and ask him why he wants to do so and what he cannot do reason.Now that he is planning tea gardens and medicine gardens, he is not making a fuss. According to Yuanshen's personality, even if he really has this idea, he will definitely ask his parents for instructions before doing anything.This "mother" is still his aunt Liu Shi, not his biological mother Wu Shi.

After going through the rules in his stomach, Wen Lun simply thought hehe.But who can he hehe?Although the scumbag is not smart enough, he also knows that he can't single out a world alone, and can only live as loosely as possible under limited conditions.

Early the next morning, Wen Lun and Xiong Da personally sent shopkeeper Huang out of the village.

There was a smile on Wen Lun's face, but his eyes were still gloomy: "I'm married, and I have younger brothers and sisters at home. If Dad has a heart, give it to Auntie."

Shopkeeper Huang bowed and said goodbye.He didn't know much about the young master.In the county magistrate's mansion, the eldest young master is considered the most low-key person. Apart from the talent and learning that he showed since childhood, even his interpersonal communication is limited to his classmates in a few counties.He lowered his head to look at the wooden box, which contained enough belongings for an ordinary person to live for three lifetimes.He originally thought that the young master would hold the jade plaque to be...

Shopkeeper Huang sat on the horse and shook his head.Forget it, as a servant, he doesn't need to understand the matter of the rich and deep house.

Xiong Dagang wanted to comfort him, but turned his head to see Wen Lun smiling maliciously.That kind of expression suddenly appeared on that warm and jade-like face, and there was a hint of color.Xiong Da's heart skipped a beat when he saw it, but the voices of the villagers gradually gathering under the big tea tree woke him up.

Xiong Da grabbed Wen Lun's hand: "Didn't you say you want to go to the village chief?"

Wen Lun didn't shake it off: "Well, let's go." The sights falling on him from all around made him feel slightly uncomfortable.The slight malice in these gazes made him decide to drag everyone into the blacklist after returning.

Sure enough, the two of them hadn't gone far when they heard the villagers talking.The meaning in the words, from Wen Lun's dress, to the two holding hands, the final conclusion was almost that Wen Lun didn't know how to behave.

It's strange, how can he and Mr. Xiong get involved just by holding hands?

Needless to say, Wen Lun's hearing power, Xiong Da is a martial arts practitioner, and his hearing power is far superior to ordinary people. He glanced back, remembered those people who were gossiping, let go of Wen Lun's hand, and directly embraced his shoulders: "It's okay, I'm here."

Wen Lun looked up at Xiong Da, but didn't say a word, and he didn't say anything when he got to the village chief.

Xiong Dajiang told the village chief willingly.

After listening to the village chief, he smiled wryly: "You are thinking of the people in the village, and you are kind-hearted, but it costs money to buy tea seedlings and medicinal seeds. Our village is poor, and you know it, I'm afraid..."

Xiong Da followed with regret and said: "It's because we didn't think carefully. We also thought that the people in the village were poor, so we could plant some tea trees and earn more money every year."

When the village chief saw that someone was about to leave, he quickly stopped him: "Xiong Da, Master Wen, don't leave yet. I know you have intentions, here is a proposal, do you know if it is feasible?"

Wen Lun showed an almost indistinguishable sneer.He can probably guess what the village chief's plan is, and it's nothing more than the empty-handed white wolf's trick.

Next, the village head really said: "You can't open this tea garden with just a few people. The people in the village are all ready-made. You also know the situation in the village. You have a lot of free time. Why don't you let the people in the village go to you?" The tea garden contributes, how much money do you give every year, how about it?"

This time Xiong Da didn't speak, Wen Lun said directly: "I don't think so."

The village chief didn't expect Wen Lun to refuse so directly, so he choked immediately.Originally, in his opinion, this was a way to get the best of both worlds, and it was much more reliable than their proposal of letting the whole village grow tea trees together.

Wen Lun raised his eyes to look at the village head. The young masters have been acting very skillfully lately: "I didn't want to say this too clearly. I, Wen Lun, am also from Dacha Village now. Seeing the hardships in the village, I thought of a way to help them out." , It’s also my duty. But I think so, but others don’t think so. I don’t want to go over the old calendar. If the village chief is interested, he can take a look at the flock of chickens raised by my family. I can pick out so many roosters , It’s really wasted a lot of thinking. Let me use a villager, the village chief, and if something happens, you will pay me for the loss?”

This time the village chief not only choked on his throat, but almost choked on his heart.It's impossible to say that he doesn't know anything about this little cock.The big tea village is a bit bigger, and there is a news that has been spread all over the place.Originally, people in the village were still saying that the elder and young master in this city didn't understand anything, and how rich and rich they are, it's easy to lie; now it seems that where they are stupid, it's clearly the people in their village who are stupid.

The village chief has seen the tea house.There are several hills in the tea garden, and when the tea picking season comes, dozens of tea pickers have to be hired temporarily.Originally, this kind of work must have hired people nearby, but now that people have money, where is it difficult to hire people, and they have to hire people who don't give him face?The village head asked himself, and would not do it himself.

Xiong Da said something at this time, but it made the village chief feel even more distressed: "Village chief, Wen Lun spoke a little more straightforwardly. But this matter is not difficult to solve. Didn't our family buy the mountain? Now it belongs to the village That part should also come down, right? When the time comes, it will be enough to buy a few tea seedlings for each household, and it won’t cost much.”

The village chief stared wide-eyed, watching the two couples go out hand in hand, he hardly recovered from his breath!

Those broken hills were not worth much in the first place, and not many were allocated to the big tea village.The village chief was still debating whether to use it to build roads or to add a cow to the village, but now it's over.When the village chief sent away the sixth wave of villagers who came to inquire about the tea seedlings that night, he knew that there was nothing to worry about.

The village head's daughter-in-law shrank aside like a quail.She spread the word about the tea seedlings on purpose.The village chief's plan has been mentioned at home many times.

But what if the road is repaired?How many things can they sell in the county?How much money can I buy in the county town?Only once or twice a year, if the road is not repaired, how much difference can it make?

It would be nice to buy a cow.But there is only a little land in the mountains, and a little hard work is enough.Besides, don't everyone Xiong have a donkey now, and when they go to borrow it, can everyone not borrow it?They are all from the folks in the village, so I must be embarrassed.

Tea seedlings are different.What Xiong Da said makes sense.Even if a few tea trees are planted in the yard in front of and behind the house at home, the tea trees are easy to take care of, and a little tea is roasted every year.The crude tea in the county town sells for twenty or thirty yuan a catty!

The village chief looked at his thin grandson. The clothes on his body were changed from his son's clothes, and many places were mended again and again.The village chief's wife pulled the village chief, and the village chief sighed, and told the villagers about the matter the next day.

Of course, everyone is happy about picking up money for nothing, but some people said: "Village chief, do you think our family doesn't want tea seedlings, can we convert them into cash? It's almost winter, and life is hard."

The village chief gave the man a hard look, and stared at the man until he automatically silenced: "This matter has not yet been decided. If you don't want to plant it, then don't plant it. Whether there will be tea seedlings in the end, and how many tea seedlings there will be, depends on the yamen. How much money will you give to our village? Anyway, next spring will be the soonest, if you want money for the New Year, plant it yourself!"

The village head is usually not looked down upon by the villagers, but at this time he is still very dignified.The villagers who had opinions muttered a few words, but they didn't dare to make a real noise.Most people want to plant tea trees.The days are poor, and I wish I could break a penny in half and spend it.The village head also mentioned the benefits of planting tea trees just now.Those who have children in their families have already begun to calculate, planting a few tea trees, maybe in a few years, they can give their son Murakami the money to marry a wife, and save the dowry for his daughter.

It's not that the people in the village never thought about growing tea, but the wild tea trees in the mountains are rarely planted alive.It's just farming, and the tea that is fried is just a little bit, and the taste is just like drinking it yourself.Now some villages buy tea seedlings from other tea gardens uniformly, and some people give advice on planting tea trees and frying tea, which is like money dropped from the sky.

The big tea village that day has not been so lively for a long time.

Relying on a pair of clairvoyant ears, Wen Lun enjoyed gossip.People who don't want to grow tea and people who want to grow more teas communicate with each other in private.That's all right.That is, the person who wanted to sell sold three of them at once, and the person who wanted to buy had no money.

On the same day, shopkeeper Huang handed over the jade plaque and the wooden box to the old county uncle, and told Wen Lun's performance in detail.

The old county uncle was poring over the jade plaque in his hand, he was speechless for a long time, and waved his hand to let shopkeeper Huang go down.

Mrs. Wu came in with the decoction, and the old magistrate handed the wooden box to Mrs. Wu: "You keep these things yourself. You have been with me for so many years, but I was negligent. This time I see it clearly. I have a In case, I'm afraid you two won't be able to live in this mansion, but you can live alone with these things, or live with Da Lang."

Mrs. Wu took the wooden box and put it aside casually: "Uncle said this too early. Drink the medicine."
