The sturdy life of crossing

Probably due to the excessive exposure to the sun some time ago, the heavy rain suddenly fell, and Jian Leyang's house...was a sad reminder.

Father Jian went to the study room to quickly pack the books outside, and Mother Jian went to the room and the kitchen to prevent the rain from soaking the quilt and grain outside. All the utensils such as basins and barrels that can catch the rain were found out, and the family members who finished their work sat in the house and listened to the sound of the rain hitting the wooden basin.

Father Jian saw that the whole family was too boring, so he got up and recited poems with Jian Wenyuan, one poem per person, which must be related to rain. He was beaten and killed in his previous life, but now he is tortured with poetry?He learned to read together with Father Jane just to read miscellaneous books.

The rain started to stop. The next day when I got up, the rain started to decrease, but it didn't stop. It was wet everywhere, and the temperature dropped significantly. It was supposed to be the beginning of autumn.It is impossible for Jian Leyang to build a new house and ignore the house he lives in now, so he put on a coir raincoat and climbed to the roof the next day, at least to ensure that there will be no rain leakage in the house, so that he can sleep more peacefully at night.

Standing on the roof and looking into the village, although it was foggy due to the heavy rain, I could still see that several households were tossing their roofs, so it was obvious that not one house was leaking.Tian Lizheng also wore a coir raincoat and went to the village to look around. When he walked to Jian Leyang's house, he saw Brother Yang on the roof and greeted him with a smile. Although most people's roofs leaked, the heavy rain brought joy to everyone. More.

"Brother Yang, you're busy, I'll come and take a look, remember to go to the field to have a look later, don't let the field be flooded."

"Understood." Jian Leyang waved his hand on the roof, he was going to go later, but Jian's father, Jian Wenyuan, was going to stop him.

After a little treatment of the roof, Jian Leyang went to the field non-stop, and Jian's father also went together. After a night of heavy rain, the crops in the field were soaked in water, and many villagers rushed over to dig the dike to release water. Do not greet each other.Jian Leyang didn't let his father move. He took the initiative because his speed was too slow. He looked at it with disgust, so of course he didn't tell his father about it.

Jian Leyang released all the rainwater accumulated in the field, but looking at the crops planted in the field, it would be good if half of them survived. When the rain stopped, they had to replant, hoping to harvest some.

Jian Leyang saw that the land on the other side of Jian's big house was also submerged in the water, but no one came to drain the water. After draining the water in his own land, he left a gap to prevent it from being flooded again, and took Father Jian home together. He didn't leave any time for his father to hesitate, and whether the land over there is flooded or not has something to do with his family's penny?

The rain lasted for four consecutive days before it stopped. When the sun finally came out and everyone was able to come out of their homes to take a breath, they went to the river to see that the water level in the river had risen so much that it had surpassed the previous spring. The highest water level, if this does not stop, the water in this river will not flood up, in that case, it will either die from drought or drown.

As soon as the rain stopped, Jian's father went to talk to Li Zheng about building a house on the enclosure. The heavy rain showed him that it was impossible to delay any longer. Tian Lizheng laughed at Jian's father. The house is gone, even though he was joking, his hands were not slow, and he turned out the map of the village. Where are the remaining homesteads, let Jane find out one by one, let him choose by himself, and give a lot of opinions at the same time He is very clear about where Feng Shui is best.

Father Jian looked at a few places and decided to discuss it with his wife and children after returning home. He didn't make up his own mind. Tian Lizheng knew his temperament and asked him to go home and discuss it.

When Father Jian came home, he saw Brother Yang was about to go out, so he hurriedly stopped him, and first decided where to build the house, and then Brother Yang went to help him.

Jian Leyang glanced at the map and said, "Father, why don't we build it at the foot of the mountain here, and then buy the small hill behind it, then hire some people to grow some cash crops, increase our family's income, and wait Our family has made money, and the villagers will follow suit. In this way, we don’t have to hold our children and cry secretly at home, or see the dry and dead crops in the field with a blank and sad look on our faces. , when this piece of rural area develops in the future, it will also be beneficial to the prospects of their Canghe Gang. It’s nothing to always squeeze the hard-earned money of the poor people, and the people are willing to spend it when they have money.”

"What kind?" Father Jian was stunned for a moment, but he respected his son's opinion more and more, especially the prospect that Jian Leyang described, which he hoped to see very much.

Jian Leyang rubbed his head and said: "I have to investigate to see what kind of climate and soil are suitable for us to grow. Don't worry, just buy the mountain first."

"Hey, Dad listens to Brother Yang." Father Jian didn't have any objections. He was wondering what kind of person his brother Yang was. , You can't let Brother Yang take care of everything by himself.

After the conversation, one went to Lizheng's house to talk about buying land and hilltops, and the other changed clothes and went to the town. Jian Leyang was dragged down by the heavy rain and stayed at home, and he never went to the pier. Fortunately, his subordinates Several people can be trusted, and there is no problem in letting them go.

On the pier, Zhang Meng told Jian Leyang about the situation in the past few days. The rain has not stopped. They are both happy and worried. The few boats left behind are a bit dilapidated, although Jian Leyang arranged for people to repair the boats when they took over. , but I was also worried about whether these boats could withstand the scour of the heavy rain. Fortunately, there were not many problems, and people were arranged to guard them at night.

"Boss, this pier has been repaired in time. Now it's okay to dock a few more ships. Once the rain stops, several merchants in the town will urge us to get out of the boat. The river channel will be smooth, and there should be ships from outside." Except for the boss who brought a batch of grain in person before, they took turns to take it out a few times later, but compared with the expenses, they still couldn't make ends meet.

This is not enough. The business of these merchants in Guangzhen is far from being able to support the current Canghe Gang, let alone expansion. What they urgently need now is first, the source of developer customers, and the second is to increase ships, but the second item But it can't be rushed, and it also needs a lot of money.

"Before, our Canghe Gang couldn't reach out into the county seat, but now there is no such problem. We send people to the county to rent a shop, hang up the signboard of our Canghe Gang to solicit business, and send people to secretly do this..." Jian Leyang taught Zhang Meng some methods in a low voice, that is, hiring a group of people to promote the reputation of the Canghe Gang. To do this work, but some people in the county must know about it, and some people came to their town from Xindan County to buy grain.

Jian Leyang is doing good deeds, but now that he is doing business, he pays more attention to his reputation, so he does not leave a name for his good deeds?Leave it to others.

Zhang Meng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at the boss with admiration. Jian Leyang didn't realize it, and was still teaching the opportunity face-to-face: ..., you can pay the storyteller in the teahouse to tell a few jokes, the more exciting the story, the better. Not afraid to exaggerate, we did things anyway. "

"The original forces in Xindan County, as long as they don't come to interfere with us, let them go, if they don't have eyes...Jane Leyang's eyes flashed a joke, he actually needs those people not to have eyes, so Only then can we give him a reason to act. He is building the image of the Canghe Gang, so how can he take the lead without asking the reason? He must learn from the famous.

After understanding what the boss said, Zhang Meng wiped his forehead, and twitched the corner of his mouth: "Boss, I still have some people under my command, but because of that incident, I let them go, now..."

"Look at it, you can continue to use it if you need it. I'm not interested in accepting the bad character." It turned out that the villains at the dock took over out of desperation, and they had no interest in continuing to reform people. After those people repaired the wharf and built the house, Jian Leyang sent them to build roads, and some people moved to a small village that was taken from the old boss Huang to farm. Anyway, they are not raising for nothing. them.

"Thank you, boss. I will check what they have done recently. Zhang Meng doesn't want to bring in a bastard like Qian Ding to ruin the reputation of the Canghe Gang."

"By the way, there is one more thing," Jian Leyang said, thinking about the family affairs, "Help me pay attention to whether there are any good housekeepers in the hands of those people, and cooks are also needed. By the way, those who can read and write can handle accounts That's even better, just stay in the gang, don't worry about it, just take it easy."

It is difficult to recruit literate people in the gang. Although the reputation has improved a lot before, the Canghe Gang belongs to the kind of gang that fights and kills. Jiang Gui came to them, so it's better to think of a way from this aspect. Although such talents may not be able to meet in a short while, but Qiu Tan is also cultivating them, and both sides will go hand in hand and wait until next year. It will definitely improve Not a lot.

Jian Leyang has no psychological shadow to accept the phenomenon of human trafficking. Before he has the ability, he will never be a person who actively breaks the rules. He must first accumulate his own strength within the scope of the rules.

"Okay, then I'll say hello to some dentists first."

Mrs. Jian's family is going to build a house. This is something that the villagers of Yong'an Village have talked about recently. Not only did they want to build a house, but they also bought a barren hill with a lot of money. On that small hill, in addition to chopping firewood, digging wild vegetables in spring , almost no one went up, it looks like a broken mountain, what can it be used for?

Not to mention what other people think, even Tian Lizheng, when Father Jian said he wanted to buy the mountain in the back, he almost thought he was talking nonsense, and after repeated confirmation several times, he realized that Father Jane really wanted to buy it: "What are you buying it for? Even if you have money to buy a few more acres of land, it's better than that dilapidated hill."

Father Jian smiled calmly: "My brother Yang asked me to buy it, and the money to buy the mountain was also earned by Brother Yang. There is no charter for what Yang brother will use it for."

Tian Lizheng had a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat. The old friend indulged the child so much, but this was Brother Yang's idea and he couldn't say it. If it was Wen Yuan's words, he would definitely persuade Father Jian to take it back. This thought: "Brother Yang, really haven't thought about it yet?"

Father Jane nodded: "Yes, but you know Brother Yang's temperament, it won't take long."

"Okay, don't regret buying it. Once you sell the money, you can't get it back." He didn't even like that piece of homestead, but whoever let Brother Yang have the money even bought the mountain behind, so It seems that it is good to build a house there. In the future, the mountain over there will be private, and no one else can go up it.

Tian Li is taking Father Jian to the yamen to complete the relevant procedures, pay the money, and then ask someone to help build the house in the village. They only pay the wages and not the food. The wages are a little more than usual, so many young and middle-aged people Hurry up to Tian Lizheng to sign up here, because Father Jian obeyed Brother Yang's suggestion and handed over the matter to Tian Lizheng. He didn't work for his family in vain, but hired him to do it for money, even if his own brother It is also necessary to settle accounts clearly. If Zhang Meng can find a talented housekeeper for Brother Yang earlier, he will not have to work hard.

"Father, mother, don't you bother to talk about the second younger brother? It's not so expensive to have money. What's the difference between throwing it in the water for nothing? Just that broken mountain is worth more than 200 taels of silver to buy? Let's talk about it." , where did the second brother’s family get so much money?” After chatting with the villagers, Xiao Wang came back and complained to the old man and the old lady. With these 200 taels of silver, how many things can you do.

The old man just came back from the field. The crops in the field were worse than other people’s. More than half of them were destroyed. He also took the time to replant like others. He could save as much as he could. He knew this even after he just came back from the field. In this matter, others see him working hard, and they say sympathetic words, but they are actually gloating and laughing at him. He is very old, and his sons and grandchildren are working hard. What is the age tossing about.

"Hey, your second son just spent money to buy a mountain. This second Jian Jian has finally lived his life. I heard that he will build a house. The house in your hometown is the first in the village. I don't know the house your second son built. Can you cross over, haha."

So as soon as he came back, his face was sullen, and he heard Xiao Wang's gossip at home, and his head became dizzy and his eyes were black with anger.

After hearing Xiao Wang's words, the old lady really wanted Xiao Wang to call her second child over to ask for clarification, but the old man stood at the door and scolded, """What are you going to do? You don't think our family is ashamed enough, you are that little beast Is it up to you to handle the sacrifice back then? If you can get the money out of his hands, old man, I admire your ability! If you don’t have the ability, don’t go out and shame yourself!”

Xiao Wang's neck shrank from being yelled at by the old man, how could he have provoked such a big anger from the old man.
