clang farming notes

The matter went smoothly. For several days, the people's inquiring news poured into the courtyard of Du's house. After sorting out the reliable news in advance, Li Zheng, Zhao Ba and others were invited to discuss together.

As for the opening of the mutual market, the officials and wealthy businessmen at the top must have known it long ago, only the ordinary people did not know.Many shops in Jinyang City changed owners only this year, and Jinyang is not a prosperous place, how could it be such a coincidence?I also know that these are all sent to the front station.

Although the exchange market opened in Lengshui City, this Lengshui City is relatively close to the barbarians, and there are very few people. It is purely a military town. Although the city wall is high, the city is not very big. Most of the people in it are stationed as soldiers.Although Yanbei is all in the fields, places like Lengshui City are still mainly military, mainly relying on support from the rear.

According to some sources, the exchange market is opened outside Lengshui City. Only big officials and merchants can enter the city to buy and sell in the exchange market. The rest have to find a place to settle outside the city. The garrison will send soldiers to patrol from time to time.Not to mention, there are also important commodities such as salt, tea, and grain, which can only be operated by officials and businessmen, and others will be killed if they interfere.In addition, there are restrictions on ironware and the like. For example, if you take an iron pan to exchange for something, no one cares. If you take a kitchen knife, you may be in trouble.

Because this is the first time to open a mutual market, the government is also very careful.Regardless of whether it is a big business or a small business, they are not allowed to have direct contact with the barbarians, but have to use the officials and the people to pull the bridge.In addition to merchants who can go to the mutual market to buy and sell, the frontier residents of this northern land can also join together as a bond with ten people to exchange some things.

Judging from the news, the requirements are really harsh, but no matter how harsh the conditions are, they can't stop people from taking large sums of money. Not to mention the herbs and leather in the north, just a horse is enough for people to take risks.I heard that many merchants in the south have sent people to inquire about preparations.

Li Zheng smacked his lips. He still had some doubts. He knew that doing business could make money, but it was a big business. If he traded horses in the exchange market and sold them in the Central Plains, he would definitely make money, but as the Du family said, on the road There is a stall next to it, selling some tea, radishes, cabbage, and potatoes, he thinks it's worth it.Moreover, when the mutual market opens, it is scheduled to be at the end of the autumn harvest, and there may be rain. As far as the farmers are concerned, it is naturally more important to harvest the land before the rain.Don't expect the crops to be drenched with rain, and people to go busy in the cold wind and damp, and there is no harvest in the end, then the fun will be great.What's more, Du Xiucai put all his efforts into this matter. It can be seen these days that he is purely kind-hearted and works hard. If he doesn't thank you for his efforts, he won't be able to bear it, will he?After all, he is young, although he is a scholar, he always thinks things incompletely, and he always has to give advice, which is worthy of his kindness.

Li is a mature and prudent man who has experienced the field of life and death. In his opinion, clothing and food are the most important. It's this kind of money-making thing, of course it's good if it can be done, and it's okay if it doesn't, just don't cause any unpleasantness because of this idea.Besides, this kind of field is hard work, and it is not easy to plan food in the soil, but now the whole Qingniu Village can't be said to be rich, but it can be counted in the ten miles and eight villages, and many people in the surrounding villages rely on Going to Qingniu Village for dinner made the status of Qingniu Village quite detached. He is going out here, and his words are quite weighty. Otherwise, Mrs. Wang dared to block the village head's house directly about Fang Sheng's matter. go?That's all right, Li Zheng is already very satisfied with his current life.

Li is a straight-hearted person, and after thinking about it, he told Du Zhongping and others.

The two of the Du family were a little moved after hearing Li Zheng's words. Although most of the reason was that Li Zheng felt that he couldn't delay the land resumption because of other things, but part of the reason was that he was afraid that if it didn't work out, he would mobilize the crowd again. The family will be blamed and blamed.The meaning of maintenance in Lizhenghua is quite obvious.

Du Zhongping was hesitant to talk about money. In fact, he still has some gold, silver and precious stones at the bottom of the box. As long as there is no accident, judging from Yanbei's daily expenses, it is enough for Jiner to marry a wife or even retire.Moreover, now my family has nearly a hundred acres of land, and because of my status as a scholar, I don't have to pay taxes. In addition to providing my family with food, drink and chewing every year, I can save some money and food. The land is small and there are savings.In addition, Shu Xiu, who teaches students every year, will also have some. Speaking of which, he is really not short of money.

The reason he is so enthusiastic about this matter is to get closer to the villagers. Of course, if he has a little income, no one will think too much money.But if Lizheng has so many worries and insists on going his own way, will it make Lizheng feel that he wants to seize power? It would be bad if he had a grudge in his heart.

Du An knew what Du Zhongping was thinking when he saw Du Zhongping's expression, and before Du Zhongping could speak, he secretly tugged on Du Zhongping's sleeve by filling him with water, and begged him.Du Zhongping glared at him, swallowed the words that came to his lips, and picked up the cup to drink water.

Du An breathed a sigh of relief, this is what he meant by tossing around casually.

Duan took another piece of watermelon for Lizheng, and after a while, he said: "Lizheng has seen it before, and he is more thoughtful than us. If it really delays the important event of the village's autumn harvest, it will really be ours. I have committed a crime, how can I be worthy of the big guy!"

Everyone loves to hear good words, Li Zheng said with a smile: "You are also kind, everyone knows it. Don't worry, everyone is thinking of your love."

Duan said: "It's better to have an experienced person like you Lizheng give pointers. Although we are all thinking about the village, we are afraid that we will do bad things with good intentions, and we will not talk about it because of face. If you don't feel it, you must go further and further crooked!"

Zhao Bafangsheng didn't care about this matter at all, he just drank tea, ate fruit and watched a play, and it was already a way to save face by occasionally answering a few words.Only Du Zhongping, seeing Du An slapping Li Zheng's ass, couldn't help rolling his eyes secretly.Hmph, if you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.Duane's petty eyes can see it clearly, and he doesn't have the same knowledge as him.When we are the head of the household, we have to be a little head of the household, and occasionally we have to worry about the mood of "child bride".Du Zhongping squinted his eyes, the name starling is really appropriate!

Li Zheng nodded with a smile, capable but not arrogant, humble and honest, really a good family.

Duan continued: "According to me, this matter is really not a big deal compared to the autumn harvest of our farmer's family, and we don't need to work hard for this matter. But, I have a little idea : There are some children in the village who have been studying with Brother Ping for a long time. They have also learned hundreds of characters and "Nine Chapters of Suanjing". It is better to take advantage of this incident and let them experience it. , wouldn’t it be great if I could find an errand in the city in the future?”

Li Zheng was moved. Although these half-grown children could help with the work, they were not considered strong laborers.Especially this year when the weather is good, many families in the village have hired helpers from other villages. These children just help the family feed a pig or something, which is just a matter of adults reaching out.But if you can really make some tricks out of it, you will be promising in the future.It's just that this one has only studied for half a year, can it succeed?Not making money is a trivial matter, but it would be bad if people from outside the village knew about it and were laughed at.

Duan saw that Li was hesitating, so he hurriedly added fire: "I heard that brother Wang Quan, who came to our village, studied with a shopkeeper for a while, and now he is trying to find a job as an official? It's really a fat job. In the future, many merchants will point to Brother Wang to eat!" Hearing what Du An said, he was thinking of Wang Quanlai, and couldn't help but make up his mind. Then Wang Quan dared to seek that job after studying for a few days. Seriously studied with Du Xiucai for half a year.Although it's a bit small, it's nothing. When the time comes, a few adults will come out to support the venue. They can still be separated.The biggest thing is to lose some vegetables and add some effort.Their kung fu is not worth anything, they just run around and play like crazy when they have time.

Immediately said: "It's strange that those two careless people in my family are talking about their Uncle An all day long. Sure enough, you really love them and don't forget to think about them in everything. It's better than our parents. If these brats forget the benefits of their husband and Uncle An in the future, our parents will not spare them!"

Duan was overjoyed, Lizheng's words meant agreement, and said: "What is this, not to mention how much Lizheng you have helped us and how much you have worried about the village, even the two children are more sensible than the other. , Jin'er has been inseparable from them these days, the children are fine, they are all my nephews, if you don't think about who they are thinking about!"

Even Du Zhongping also said: "Lizheng doesn't need to be humble. Among the children I have met, Dazhu is the most appropriate. If there is anything to entrust to him, it is more reassuring. Even Erzhu, although he is still young , but it can also be seen that he is very clever and capable, and he is very kind to my family, if you are polite to us because of the children, you will be right. "

When Zhao Bafangsheng saw the two younger ones of Du's family coaxing them so self-effacingly while saying "Where is that?" and smiling until their eyes narrowed, they couldn't help laughing secretly at the cunning of Du's kid.This side also helped Du An and the others to say good things, and accompanied Li Zheng in a good mood to comment on the children in Du's school one by one.

After sending away the happy Lizheng, Zhao Bafangsheng also laughed at Du An, but Du An was thick-skinned, and thanked the two elder brothers for their help without changing his face.The two laughed and shook their heads, and went back to rest, leaving the Du family alone.

Du Zhongping sat drinking tea by himself, it was really tiring to talk so much.Du An couldn't help but feel a little nervous in front of Eucommia, and he lost his thick skin just now. He only felt his ears get hot, and it took him a long time to say a word: "Brother Ping, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well, don't worry." You'll lose face."

Du Zhongping squinted at him, "You can't eat people who are shameless. Just remember one thing: people are the most important thing at all times. If you can take care of others, just take care of them. If you can't take care of them, let it be. Our family doesn't have so many people." Pay attention!"

Seeing the happy expression on Du An's face, as if something was wrong with him, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Since you are talking about this, just fool those foolish boys by yourself, I won't help you talk!"

Duan just smirked and touched his head: "Don't worry, you just don't worry!"
