The disheveled Li Shan suddenly sat up from the bed, turned around and touched something under the pillow, with a hint of panic on his face.
"Langjun, Langjun!"
Hearing this title and turning his head to see Mrs. Zhou's charming face, Li Shan was startled for a moment before he regained consciousness and slowly pulled his right hand out from under the pillow.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lang?" Mrs. Zhou sat on the edge of the bed anxiously.
Xiaoman wrapped the quilt around Li Shan and touched his forehead again, "Lang Jun, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Li Shan murmured vaguely, cleared his throat and then said: "I had a dream..."
In fact, it was not a dream, but something that really happened in a previous life... After that highway rescue, Li Shan, who had been with the station for more than ten hours, went back to lie down, and the phone rang, but the tired Li Shan was not disturbed.
Wake up, that time he was scolded so cruelly by the teacher that he was so embarrassed.
Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and opened the curtains. The white light from outside suddenly filled every corner of the room, causing Li Shan to cover his eyes.
"What time is it?"
"It's past noon." Mrs. Zhou asked in a low voice, "The food is still hot in the kitchen. I'm here to serve my husband."
"Yeah." Li Shan nodded and asked again: "The injured last night..."
"Everything is fine. Seventh Uncle has been placed in various homes, and no one has a fever."
Li Shan pursed his lips and pointed to the table, "Pour me a glass of water first."
Xiaoman rushed to pour water and served Li Shan carefully, while Zhou went to bring in the food.
"Braised chicken nuggets?" Li Shan was a little surprised. After eating a piece of chicken, he asked: "Rooster?"
Generally speaking, country people don't like to raise roosters when raising chickens. They eat a lot and compete for food. The key is that they don't lay eggs and they really can't afford it.
But raising chickens also requires roosters, otherwise where would the chicks come from?
Therefore, when eating chickens in rural areas, they are usually hens, and roosters will not be killed easily.
"The one at Aunt Liu's house in front was frozen to death last night." Xiaoman picked a chicken wing and gave it to Li Shan, "The snow was really heavy this time, and many animals in the village were frozen to death...the chickens and ducks are still small.
Several cows and sheep froze to death."
"By the way, doesn't Lang Jun like to eat beef? I asked Brother Zhu to give the orders, leaving all the beef to Lang Jun."
Li Shan nodded casually, thinking that a few days ago he was still thinking about adjusting the hot pot base, and thinking that there was no way to boil the beef, but now... the cattle froze to death in Zhujiagou, and presumably the cattle and sheep in other villages will also freeze to death.
.
Zhou glanced at Xiao Man and whispered: "The big ox at the personal guard Zhu Shitou's house froze to death, and Xiao Shitou was crying... wait until spring starts..."
Li Shan huffed, and then he realized that when he was a child in the countryside, he had done all kinds of work and was good at farming. But at that time... tractors were used for farming in the countryside, and there were no cattle anymore.
But in this era, and in the north, there are no cattle, so plowing the land in spring would be troublesome.
It is for this reason that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, killing cattle was a serious crime.
"Dong dong dong."
Zhou opened the door and asked a few questions, then turned around and whispered: "It's Mo Xiang, Qi Bo, Ling Bo and the village elders in the main hall..."
"Then we have to wait until Mr. Lang has finished eating." Xiaoman said dissatisfied: "Lang Jun was so tired last night, they..."
"Okay." Li Shan took a few mouthfuls of rice, stood up and asked Zhou and Xiaoman to help him get dressed.
Compared with the intrigues with those wealthy families and high-ranking officials, Li Shan actually prefers those in Zhujiagou... Although there are intrigues and some parents have short-term interests, there is no danger at all.
As soon as Li Shan entered the door, Zhu Wei pointed to a chair at the front table and said, "Da Lang, sit here!"
Li Shan did not sit on it immediately, but looked at the chair carefully with a surprised expression... It was not because this chair was placed first, but because of the leather jacket spread on the chair.
"That one?"
"That's the one." Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Ms. Zhou's shooting skills are superb. She hit the tiger's eye just right. A tiger skin is worth at least fifty ounces in the east and west markets."
Li Shan curiously touched the stove twice before sitting down with the stove prepared by Zhou, "Seventh Uncle, there are so many people here today, Fifth Uncle and Ninth Uncle are here too."
The village has always been headed by Zhu Wei, who is ranked seventh. Zhu Li, the ninth uncle among his peers, has never been very responsible. The fifth uncle, the fifth uncle, became a monk in Dongshan Temple and is now in charge of Dongshan Temple.
In addition, two outsiders, Ling Jing and Ma Zhou, were also there, as were Zhu Ba, the most senior bodyguard around Li Shan, and Zhu Shitou and Zhu Wu, who were in charge of Dongshan Temple's business.
"It was Mr. Ling who mentioned it that I woke up." Zhu Wei thanked Ling Jing and continued: "This heavy snowfall is really a natural disaster. I am afraid that the Dongshan Temple secret warehouse will be used in the spring, but I am afraid that it will be the same thing as last July."
Ling Jing said softly: "Before, we secretly stored grain and rice. Not many people knew about it. It was all arranged by Dongshan Temple and the money was allocated from the public account."
"But if grain and rice are distributed...the news cannot be completely blocked. Once the news leaks...this heavy snowfall, there will definitely be refugees in Beijing."
Li Shan nodded in agreement while listening, then turned to look at Zhu Ba, "Where is Brother Su?"
"The eldest son of the Su family is still patrolling outside." Zhu Wei said with a smile: "He first discussed this matter with me in private."
In fact, even if grain and rice are not distributed to the villagers from the secret warehouse of Dongshan Temple, there are still people snooping into Zhujiagou... The incident in July last year is clear evidence.
Li Shan thought about it for a moment, then turned around and asked: "Fifth uncle, ninth uncle?"
The fifth uncle touched his bare head and said with a smile: "This is what the master ordered me to do, just keep an eye on the dark warehouse."
"Everyone listens to Da Lang's instructions." Uncle Jiu also nodded and said, "Before Da Lang settled down, everyone in the village had a full meal and a hungry meal. Could it be that they have been used to the good life and have forgotten the hard life?"
"Uncle Jiu is wrong." Li Shan said with a smile: "Of course, life must get better and better. Who wants to live a hard life?"
"What Dalang said makes sense!" Uncle Wu laughed and said, "If it were before, how could I have imagined that there would be a day when I would have good wine in my throat?!"
Well, although he is a monk, Uncle Wu eats meat and drinks wine... and sometimes he even wants to be a happy Buddha.
After laughing for a while, Li Shan thought about it and said: "Before the spring, every family has stored grain and rice. Naturally, the Li family will provide grain and rice."
"After the beginning of spring, the He family was in trouble, so the Li family contributed money to buy grain and rice... Qibo, I knew that the price of grain would inevitably skyrocket, but I still wanted to buy grain. The secret warehouse of Dongshan Temple would not be used easily."
Nowadays, the grain and rice stored in Dongshan Temple have only one function, which is to supply wine. Other than that, they can only be entered but not taken out. This may very well determine the survival of the entire Zhujiagou in the future.
"The sentry, security and protection of Zhujiagou are naturally entrusted to Brother Su...it is overkill."
"The chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep that died in the village were purchased by the Li family at the original price."
"Zhu Ba, I will go to Chang'an later. I will write a letter to the Chang'an County Yamen Housekeeper and report it."
"When spring comes, I will ask Li De to help me purchase a few oxen. Then I will use them for public use."
Zhu Wei hesitated and said: "Da Lang, after spring we have to dig rivers and build houses, and the public ledger is not enough..."
"It doesn't matter." Ling Jing chuckled and said, "Huairen once said that he has the art of Tao Zhu."
"The public account is only used to buy grain. No matter how expensive it is, we still have to buy it, but it is a little less." Li Shan shook his head and said, "Seventh uncle, don't bother."
Yesterday morning, before the heavy snowfall, Changsun Chong, Du He, Li Zhaode, Yuchi Baolin, and Cheng Chumo all sent people to ask... which wine shop the good wine was sent from?
Li Shan was originally worried that baijiu would not adapt to this era, but now he is not afraid at all...Money will definitely come rolling in next, otherwise he would not dare to say this.
Seeing the gratitude and admiration on the faces of Zhu Wei, Fifth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, Zhu Ba, Zhu Shitou and others... Li Shan couldn't help but think about it carefully in his heart.
I wasn’t originally like this!
Kind but stingy, smiling and stabbing in the back...this was my personality in my previous life!
Could it be that he was led astray by his mother’s attitude of putting righteousness first?
Or is it because outsiders praise benevolence and righteousness, so you are intoxicated and immersed in it?
