While Yan Yu was waiting anxiously, Yan Xiangheng finally arrived.
The people in front have already cleared the shortest road between Huju and Xizhou. It is clear at what time they are going and where they can rest in the lee of the wind.
Yan Xiangheng: "...these people who came with us were from everywhere, Gu Feng, Long Xing...even the poor families in Fucheng came with us. When we set out, we heard that there were still many people coming to Huju.
, Counting the days, by the time they bring the cinders back home, it won’t be cold for a few days.”
What he wanted to say was that he really didn't need to go this way. It was cold and the road was long, so it was not easy to go back and forth.
"It's March in Guanzhou and it's still cold. It was better in April in previous years. But on this day this year, the old people in Guanzhou can't say it." Yan Laoer said: "It's so early for our family to light the kang this year. It's autumn."
It is used when the time comes. Besides, there is no shortage of firewood to light the stove and cook on weekdays. It is free to come to Xizhou to pull cinders. The method of making briquettes has also been passed down. Pull it back and mix it with the soil. The quantity can be doubled and it can withstand burning.
It's not much better than charcoal to hold it, so I'd be the one to pull it out!"
Yan Laoer compared his feelings with his own and felt that there was no need to even think about this advantage, he had to take advantage of it.
"Brother, do you think they have a long way to go? It's cold and they're suffering. Even if there are two or three people in the family, there's no one to help them. Even if Cinder doesn't pay for them and lets them pretend to be whatever they want, they won't be able to bring much back with them?" Yan Yu asked.
.
"That's right!" Yan Xiangheng said quickly: "That's it."
The father and daughter looked at each other, and Yan Laoer said: "Logically speaking, it is the winter season for Guanzhou people. We have enough autumn vegetables at home, and there is enough firewood to burn. The small kang is lit, and the small snow scene is watching, tsk!
How beautiful! Aren't there different years? Like this year, the winter has been long and freezing cold, and the snow is so heavy that the house will collapse at every turn. Who can stay here?
When people are cold, they eat more, waste food rations, clear snow and build houses, work hard and spend money...
My eldest nephew, this guy, is just busy talking about living. Most people don’t have much ability and don’t earn much. Why do they always say that we country people are just foraging in the fields, and we don’t have much to make a living apart from farming.
No, if you pull this cinder back and burn it, you can actually burn it for a while. How much firewood will you save in this period? It should be at least a few dozen cash, which is a lot. Where can you ask them to earn these dozens of cash at this time? Can they save it?
, just make money!”
Yan Xiangheng nodded heavily: "My uncle is right, but my nephew is thinking too little."
"Your father asked you to come out just because he wanted you to see this. Our village is different from theirs. We..."
Yan Laoer was stuck. He wanted to say that our village is enjoying a good life because of our family, but he felt a little embarrassed to say this from his own mouth. Just when he was embarrassed, Yan Yu took over the words: "Our village is living well.
It’s good because we robbed Beirong!”
Yan Laoer:......
Although...but...it has some relationship, can you just say it so bluntly?!
Yan Xiangheng looked at the waiter.
I saw the waiter with a round face and said seriously: "The people in the village are all hardworking. Why don't you see that we lived a good life before? Now every family has more than enough money, as well as big livestock like cattle and sheep. We will wait for the spring to bring these."
How much energy will be saved when cattle go to the ground? Who knows if we still have the energy to open up a few more acres of land? Brother, do the math. We will open up wasteland for three years without paying taxes. Whatever we plant is our own. We will plant the land full of it.
, wait until autumn, how much grain and autumn vegetables we have to harvest!"
Yan Yu's eyes shone with anticipation, unusually bright.
Yan Xiangheng thought along her train of thought and was filled with longing.
He unconsciously said: "The cattle and sheep shipped back this time have not been divided yet..."
Yan Yu was anxious: "Why can't we make a decision? Didn't we all agree when you left, brother? The regulations are all ready-made, so we will just use the previous ones in our village."
Yan Xiangheng's ears turned red: "It was a few village elders who said... Do we need to send some of our cattle and sheep to the government agencies... The elder brother thinks what the village elders said is reasonable. After all, the militia should be supplied by the government agencies...
…”
"The village elders are so confused!" Yan Yu lamented and spoke quickly: "It's true that the government is in charge of us. If it hadn't opened, there would be nothing wrong with us eating and drinking the cattle and sheep, but we would have made a profit long ago.
Oh! We didn’t keep any of the coal that was brought back by the carts. Those cattle and sheep should be ours!”
"It should be distributed like we pick meat on the mountain. Oops! The village elders are confused!" Yan Yu said again depressedly: "Then where are the cattle and sheep now? Are they sent to the government office in Huju?"
"No, it's still in our village. Several village elders said that we should keep it for now and then discuss how to give it away when you go back." Yan Xiangheng said hurriedly.
Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again on his face: "It's okay, it's okay, it's fine in our village."
Yan Laoer suddenly said: "What's the use in our village? If you divide it, you can divide it. If you don't divide it, wait until your uncle or master thinks of it..."
"Yeah!" Yan Yuteng stood up, "I have to go back!"
…
"Leaving tonight or tomorrow morning?" Yan Laoer asked.
Yan Yu was happy: "Otherwise, my father knows me well, so I have to find a reason to leave. My eldest brother just sent it here. It's not good if I don't pick it up. Haha, I'd better go on."
"Let me read uncle's letter again." Yan Yu took out the letter, and the two of them read it from beginning to end again.
"Remember? If you remember, just listen to your uncle and burn it immediately." Yan Laoer said.
Yan Yu worriedly read it again to make sure he remembered it firmly, and then threw the letter into the stove.
"I'm really afraid of missing one, so I want to write it down." Yan Yu said pitifully.
Yan Laoer waved his hand quickly: "No, if your uncle's letter is seen by others, we don't know whether we can go back."
"Yes, so the insurance is still burned."
Yan Yu's expression became serious: "Dad, it's easy for me to talk about the few things that uncle told me. Only you...have to deal with Prince Qi's Mansion again."
"Hey! Dad's side is easy to handle. Someone from Gu Feng is here, and I'll just keep beating the drums. Your uncle has already said that we can't show up directly on this matter. On the surface, it has nothing to do with us. Dad
What you have to do is to cooperate throughout the whole process, at most help to connect people and introduce Manager Zhou to others."
Yan Yu asked worriedly: "Boss Zhou, you don't hold grudges, do you?"
…
Does Manager Zhou hold a grudge?
Must remember!
He gave him a heavy greeting gift, what did he get back? What!
So when people from Gu Fengcheng came, he didn't show any kindness at all.
Just take the money, eat the food, and drink the wine.
But I just won’t talk about the past.
I'll strangle you to death at the beginning. I'll strangle you to death at the beginning. I won't be able to hold you back to death!
…
"Guanshi Yan, Guanshi Zhou of Prince Qi's Mansion is too difficult to deal with!" The person Gu Feng came here is the eldest master's master, and he is also a money and grain master. He has to bring enough money to do big things, but this Yan
The kid in front of the prince is also very difficult to deal with.
Yan Laoer looked sad and sighed: "Oh! It's all up to me. In order to earn more benefits for Guanzhou, I forced others to admit that they would let me pull the cinders for free, and they still took advantage of the loopholes. I don't know...
"
Gu Feng's Qianliang Master also came to the road and said: "How can you blame Manager Yan? Manager Yan is also sharing the worries of our prince. Even I, the people of Gu Feng, come here...the cold winter is hard to endure!"
"Because of this... I have offended Manager Zhou. We were quite close to each other originally, and we even brought our children to eat at the same table... I won't mention it anymore! I won't mention it anymore!"
Yan Laoer waved his hand, came closer, and whispered: "I'll give you an idea, you can try it... Just say this and that..."
