Stealing Fragrance and Stealing Jade in the Red Chamber

Jia Lang received a letter from Lin Ruhai the next evening, asking him about his current situation and whether he needed help.

Unexpectedly, Lin He really regarded him as his son-in-law. Seeing Lin Daiyu's handwriting, Jia Lang was still a little moved.

Thinking of this letter, Jia Lang suddenly had an idea, thinking of some TV drama clips, he immediately laughed.

Jia Lang took a pen and wrote to his teacher, asking him if there were any students who failed the exam this year or students from poor families who could not go home.

This teacher, it is best to have a reputation.It's not that those students who failed the rankings are not qualified enough, but that Jia Lang has a special status and is easily criticized by others.

Although Jia Lang doesn't know how the school works, the fool also knows how to teach by grade.

Enlightenment, boy, scholar.

Enlightenment, they only teach literacy; boys, teach the Four Books and Five Classics; and scholars, naturally more advanced, classics, righteousness, strategies, people's livelihood and current affairs.

When they meet the admission criteria of Qinfeng Academy, they can enter Qinfeng Academy to study.

The reason why they are sent to study in the academy is that the academy has a large collection of books, and the second is to broaden their horizons.Yuan'an County is still too small, and the world that I come into contact with is very narrow.

Entering the academy, studying systematically, and getting in touch with the world in many ways will help them in their future careers.

The children from poor families in Qinfeng Academy are five or six times the number of children from wealthy families. Although they have no money and little power, they are very united in the academy.The teachers of the academy are all proud and upright, and those wealthy children dare not be presumptuous.

In these years, there are countless wealthy students who have been kicked out of the academy by their teachers, and it is not without revenge, but Qinfeng Academy is still standing.

Although Jia Lang was a son of a rich family at that time, he was admired by the children of a poor family.His free and easy style, as well as his fresh remarks, made the atmosphere among the students of the college much more harmonious.

After talking to the villagers last time, Jia Lang from other villages went to persuade them one by one.However, there are still a few villages who disagree.Or they think that those widows and old people have something to do with them, and they don't want to.

Otherwise, I just feel that children can afford to study, so instead of studying, it is better to go to the fields to help with farm work earlier.

Jia Lang told them about the future income of the medicine field, and that the children could become officials after studying, and some of them agreed after thinking about it.

But there are still two hunting villages who are unwilling.On Jia Lang's third visit, they asked them to press their fingerprints, if they wanted to, they could press the left hand, and if they didn't, they could press the right hand.If the right side is more than the left side, the medicine field will not be implemented.

In the end, all hunters are unwilling.Those who are willing are those widowed and lonely people who have no support and want to be rescued.

Jia Lang immediately announced that they would not be forced to plant medicine fields, but he kept those families who agreed to open up medicine fields and asked them if they would join other villages.

After talking for a long time, they all agreed.

Jia Lang sent officers and soldiers to take them to a village farther away to settle down the next day.

Of course, it is impossible to distribute the land of other villages to them, but to reclaim land again.Jia Lang personally led the officers and soldiers to help these orphans and widows reclaim new land.

Tell the village head that the village of those people will watch these people starve to death.No choice but to move here.

This newly reclaimed medicine field was reclaimed by officers and soldiers.If everyone is willing to accept them, these medicine fields will belong to the village, and they will be registered with the village in the future.

If you don't want to, everyone will be treated as neighbors, and all the proceeds from the newly cultivated medicine fields will be distributed to them, and let them use the money to provide for themselves.

These days, people talk about face, so it is inevitable that some people will say that they are mean when this word spreads.Although the villagers are illiterate, they know how to settle accounts.

After the village head settled accounts with several respected people, he agreed that those people should become members of his village.

The village chief called a few tall and burly men, built a house for them, and arranged them all together.Although the location is not particularly good, the house is very solid, and they have a yard around them, so they can raise chickens and pigs in the future.

Those people were grateful again and again, and several of them knelt down.

Of course, Jia Lang couldn't miss this opportunity to earn his reputation, so he brought some food, chicken, duck and fish over.

"Leaving you from the village where you grew up is a last resort. No one wants to leave their own village, but your village doesn't want to control your life or death.

When you come here, you regard yourself as a villager.You have met the village chief. If you have anything to do, you can find him. If you don’t mind going to the county government to find me.

Here are some grains I bought for you, you came out in a hurry without bringing anything.I have prepared some rice for you, and some chickens.This chicken, you keep the raw eggs, and see if you can change to an order.

These fish and meat, the sisters-in-law cook a few dishes for the village head and the brothers who help to have a big pot meal.Look at your house, people put a lot of effort into it.

You also have five acres of land per household, and you have just reclaimed and have not planted anything.In two days, the village chief will arrange for someone to plant it for you. Just like the people here, you will give it to the men in the village to plant it, and the harvest will be divided into three layers for them. Jia Lang explained the rules to them in detail.

Three of the land is taxed, the third is sold to the farmers, and the remaining [-]% is paid for seeds and some materials, and a little more than [-]% is left in the end.

This is almost for nothing, and they will naturally not be unhappy.Jia Lang hurriedly stopped them from kneeling and kowtowing again, and ordered them to cook.

Jia Lang looked for the village chief alone, but he didn't avoid people too much.

"I don't have much monthly payment. I only have 20 taels for the time being. Please help me to help them. When they came out, the people in his village asked them to leave the house without even letting them bring a piece of clothing. It's really cruel.

Those pots and pans, clothes and bedding, I had someone get them, the old ones can only be used together.

If the money is given to them, I am afraid that the villagers will know about it and come to make trouble.Put you here, help them from time to time.

They have no food in the fields, no money on their bodies, and only two chickens.You are also their village now, help take care of some, and help exchange eggs for a la carte.

Live tight, I'll come back next month, and I'll give you some more, so you don't need to tell them.They are all poor people, please tell the villagers not to reject them. "

"How can they be excluded? They are pitiful people. Besides, the people in our village are all hospitable and have this kind of heart." There is a man like black charcoal behind him. Hearing Jia Lang's words, he gave Jia Lang a thumbs up.

"You little bastard, who told you to talk nonsense." The village chief immediately blew his beard and stared at what the ignorant boy was planning to say to Jia Lang.

"Hey, he's right. He thought your villagers were good, so he brought them here. Village chief, I'll leave this to you. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." Jia Lang smiled Laugh and leave.

"Don't, this meal is ready, you stay and have a full meal before you go on your way." The village chief hurriedly asked to stay.

"No, I'm really in a hurry, eat more." Jia Lang knew he was here, and they couldn't let go.

Seeing that Jia Lang insisted on leaving, the village chief didn't want to keep him.

After returning home, Jia Lang gathered the soldiers who had followed him these days, and brought out all the big fish and meat.

"You have worked hard these days, master, I am not a person who favors one person over another. You can eat this meal openly, if it is not enough, call it, the master will let you have a comfortable meal.

As for alcohol, it’s fine to drink a little, but you’re not allowed to drink too much. If anyone drinks too much and makes trouble, then you won’t have any part in such good things in the future, do you hear? " Jia Lang asked someone to bring the wine jar over.

"Yes." The soldiers salivated as they looked at the dishes on the table.

"You guys," Jia Lang looked at the management staff, "you're all veterans, let them order, it's against the rules, don't quarrel so that everyone in the county government knows."

"Yes." Several veterans all answered with cupped hands.

"In addition to the wine, I also have rewards, sir. The soldiers who cultivated the land these days have also worked hard. Master, I am an innocent county magistrate, and I have no money. All of them are only two hundred Wen, so don't think too little." Jia Lang packed the copper coins The cloth bags were handed out to the soldiers on the reclamation land.

The sound of the copper coin made the other soldiers turn red.

"If you have meritorious service, the master will reward you. Just spend the money. In the future, whoever makes meritorious service will be rewarded by the master. Come on, brothers, the master will have a drink with you." Jia Lang held the wine glass and drank with them. a cup.

After drinking, Jia Lang left.

If he doesn't leave, these people are like quails. If he leaves, these people can let go.

Before they had walked more than ten meters, they heard loud laughter and cursing.

Jia Lang shook his head with a smile, he also had to go back to his room for dinner.

Jialang went from one village to another. There are a total of 37 villages in Yuan'an County, and only two villages disagree.

Villagers who disagreed with the planting of medicine fields were also removed from the villages who were willing to go to other villages, and he had no choice but to do so.

The same is true for Jia Lian. There are a total of 41 villages in Yuanhuai County, and seven villages disagree.Fewer than ten households are willing to leave the village and move to other villages.

Jia Lian was not as strong as Jia Lang. Facing the villagers who disobeyed the court, he just walked through Jia Lang's procedure. After making enough evidence, he no longer cared about those villages that were unwilling to plant medicine fields.

Most of the villages that are unwilling to plant medicine fields are hunting or selling special products, and their lives are not bad, so naturally they look down on medicine fields.

After all the new medicine fields were reclaimed and irrigated, the people sent by Jia Lang to deliver medicine soil (land suitable for planting medicine materials) also came.

Medicinal soil is extremely fertile soil mixed with alkaline or acidic medicinal dregs to become slightly alkaline or slightly acidic soil.

When those farmers saw the soil, they held it with their hands. It was moist but not wet, and it still had a faint fragrance of herbs.Seeing those people pouring such good soil into their medicine field, I almost went crazy.

If such soil is planted with food, it would be... that would be...

"We were sent by Jiazhi County to teach you how to grow medicinal materials. Who in your village grow these medicinal fields?" The person at the beginning was quite arrogant.

The villagers were not disgusted and called the whole village over.

"Okay, you guys are quiet, I said, you remember." The man was so noisy by the villagers that he had a headache, and he shouted, his tone was rather rude.

These days, rich families still scare poor farmers.

The man was dressed in silk, and he looked like he was from a wealthy family.

"I am the shopkeeper of Xiangyun Pharmacy, this time it is Jiazhi County who personally took the lead, so we are willing to teach you how to grow medicine fields.

However, although Jiazhi County and us promise that you will plant the medicine field well, I still have to say that an acre of medicine soil is worth one tael of gold. If you can't plant this medicine field well, there will be no next cooperation Yes, do you understand? "

Everyone was stunned by the man's words of 'one mu of medicinal soil = one tael of gold'.

With a swipe, everyone jumped two steps out.

The person who was pulling the medicinal soil just now looked at the residue on his hand, and wanted to take a bite.

"Okay, who is the village chief?" The man seemed very impatient, and his tone was quite rude.

"Hey, I'm here." The village chief didn't dare to be too arrogant, and he was there whenever he was called.

"This is a contract. Those who plant medicine fields should make their fingerprints one by one. Don't let one person represent a household. Whoever plants it should make their fingerprints. In one household, everyone in a household, even a two-year-old child, should make their fingerprints." .

Now, let me tell you what this contract says.You guys are really lucky. If it weren't for Mr. Jia San, we, the head of the family, wouldn't have entrusted you with the job of making money. "The man's words were not whispered at all, and everyone heard them all.

"Here, it says our Xiangyun Pharmacy, we have already pressed our fingerprints, and the other side says that the villagers of Changshui Village, Yuan'an County, you will press your fingerprints one by one later.

There is a total of 37 mu of land here, and the medicine soil, seeds and fertilizers are all produced by our Xiangyun Medicine Shop.You are responsible for planting medicinal materials and caring for the medicinal fields.

Listen carefully, you don't know how to harvest medicinal materials, and no one is allowed to harvest them. If they are damaged, you will be responsible for them. We don't want them.

This is Baihu, one or two kinds of seeds, 30 taels of silver.After planting, the harvested medicinal materials are weighed, and the purchase price for a catty of Baihu ranges from one tael of silver to five hundred cash.

I'm not afraid to tell you that in our shop, Baihu sells three taels of silver for a catty, but in Kyoto, it's two taels of silver, and in other markets, it's one tael to five hundred cash.

Why we give you a relatively low purchase price is very simple. First, we will accept all of your plantings regardless of whether they are good or not.Our store only buys the middle and upper grades, and we don’t want them if they are a little worse.

So, if you plant poorly, we can only reap at a loss.

If the seeds are good, one tael of silver per catty is low, but they give us the good ones.Your medicinal soil and these seeds are all paid by our Xiangyun store, so the purchase price is of course different.

It's not just you, our Xiangyun Store Waizhuang is all at this purchase price, if you don't believe me, just ask.

If you plant this acre, even if you don’t plant enough, there will be at least 50 taels a year, so let’s be content.You know, how many people begged us to plant them, but we didn't agree. "

The man was quite smug after he finished speaking.

When the villagers heard that one mu of land can produce 50 taels a year, they rushed to press their fingerprints without even thinking about it.

When Jia Lang saw the contract full of fingerprints, he nodded and asked the shopkeeper to keep it.
