In the distance, there was the sound of horse hooves, but it was not a horse. The officials guarding the checkpoint and the bandits immediately became nervous and quickly blocked the intersection with the horses. The horse team and the convoy are two completely different concepts. Liu Jun
I also looked over with interest.
Not long after, seven or eight knights appeared in their field of vision, galloping on horseback. Among them, a figure wearing a red cloak particularly attracted attention.
Liu Jun was startled when he saw it, with a wry smile on his face, and stepped forward to greet him.
When the knights saw Liu Jun approaching, they also slowed down their horses. When they were in front of Liu Jun, they dismounted.
Liu Jun cupped his hands to the figure wearing a red cloak and said, "Miss, you are fine."
This group of people was none other than Li Xiangtong and his party. Liu Jun glanced over and found two familiar maids behind her, as well as the two brothers Li Zhu and Li Ze. The others should also be in the Li family's escort team.
people.
Li Xiangtong saw Liu Jun saluting, but just hummed and turned away from looking at him.
Of course Liu Jun wouldn't mind. Last time Liu Jun also realized it later. Even in that era of liberation of human nature, if a girl mustered up the courage to confess to you, but was rejected in person, she might have the idea of jumping off the building.
Not to mention the current era that restricts women's nature.
When Li Bo saw Liu Jun, he squeezed over excitedly, and Liu Jun patted him on the shoulder, which naturally represented Liu Jun's recognition of him.
Turning to look at Li Ze, Liu Jun opened his arms. Li Ze's face showed a bit of embarrassment, but he had no choice but to walk out of the crowd with a wry smile and hugged Liu Jun. However, this caused a burst of noise from the guards behind him.
A member of the escort squeezed over, with excitement that could not be concealed on his face: "Shitou, I didn't expect you to be so prosperous now. We have all heard about it, and now all the business in Qingsong Mountain belongs to you."
"You can't talk nonsense." Liu Jun waved his hand to deny, "I'm just managing. The other leaders have their own things to be busy with, and I, the new guy in the mountain, is the only one who is recruited by the leaders to be a strong man. Of course, if you are a member of your family,
If someone has no job, you can come and take a look. The income may not be a lot, but Liao should still be able to make up for the family expenses."
Obviously, Liu Jun got to the point. Other guards gathered around to greet Liu Jun, and even the two maids were interested.
Liu Jun quickly called for people to pull away from the horse and let everyone pass.
"You've been running around for a long time, so you're hungry. Come and try the snacks I have here. They're not too exquisite, and they're not too shabby either."
The guards were at a table, and Li Xiangtong and two little girls were at a table, accompanied by Liu Jun.
Now his snack shop no longer only sells steamed buns, steamed buns and herbal tea. The back kitchen is fully staffed, and wontons and dumplings can also be made and sold on the spot. There is also intestine soup made from sesame water, which is also cheap and affordable. If you have the conditions, you can even try the latest new product.
Ice-cold sour plum soup.
At this time, Liu Jun was naturally not stingy. Each of the guards had two big buns, plus the spicy and sour intestine soup. Everyone said they were very satisfied.
Naturally, the three girls couldn't do this. After asking their opinions, Li Xiangtong wanted to try the wontons. The two maids naturally followed the master's wishes. After finishing the wontons, they took a sip of the chilled sour plum soup. Li Xiangtong couldn't help but squint her eyes and vomit with pleasure.
Take a breath.
It's not that she has never had sour plum soup before, but after driving for a long time under the sun, she can drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup. Whoever drinks it knows the taste.
"Your store makes a lot of money, right?" Li Xiangtong took a sip of sour plum soup, feeling the coolness in her heart, and suddenly said to Liu Jun.
"Generally speaking, in addition to the cost of labor, I have to pay a share to the village, so I can't make much." Liu Jun smiled.
Li Xiangtong snorted in disgust and looked at the convoys passing by on the road in front of him: "According to my estimate, your cost is only 40% at most. With so much traffic, the money you make in a month is probably more than
Our Lijiazhuang probably earns more in a year."
But Liu Jun burst out laughing: "Miss, you still underestimate your Lijiazhuang. The village is close to the river, and the land yield is good. The output of one acre of wheat is about 350 to 400 kilograms. There are two seasons a year, one for wheat and one for wheat.
Shu, the yield of Shu is lower. The Li family’s current land rent is probably 55%. The annual income from one acre of land is 300 catties, which is not much. How much land does the Li family have?”
Li Xiangtong was silent, and Liu Jun continued: "I don't know if the Li family has farmland in other places. Our farm here alone should be about 2,000 acres, or 40 hectares. Now one Tongbao can buy about 6 kilograms of wheat per acre.
The land has 50 Tongbao, and the gross profit is 100 taels a year, but do you think I am talking about money? I am talking about the 2,000 people who depend on your family for food. I believe that as long as the Li family lets out the word, in order to survive, this
Two thousand people will dance with your fingers, let alone the county government, even the state capital will not dare to be rude to you."
When Liu Jun finished speaking, the surroundings were quiet. The people eating at the table just buried their heads in eating, and did not dare to exert force for fear of making any noise. The people who had finished eating also lay there motionless, not knowing whether they wanted to listen.
Even more exciting news, I still dare not move.
Li Xiangtong also had a nervous look on her face. She didn't expect that her casual question would lead to such a topic. If it really spread, she couldn't imagine what the consequences would be.
Seeing the nervous look on her face, Liu Jun burst out laughing: "Miss Li Xiangtong, this is not your style. Don't worry, although I figured this out some time ago, but do you think those who have done it
People who have been educated all their lives can't figure it out, but they don't dare. As long as they touch any of them, they will be hostile to all the landlords. They will not do this. They themselves may be the biggest landlords. Do you think I have done something recently?
What is the matter for?"
"What have you done recently?" Li Xiangtong thought about what Liu Jun had done recently, in series, and his eyes widened.
"You...you want to..." She pointed at Liu Jun, but she was so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Yes." The smile on Liu Jun's face was very light, and he could even see that he was a little irritated. "It's just as you think. Whether it's the labor or the payment for delivery, the price I gave them was very good. On the one hand, I wanted to
Let them live a better life, and then use this visible benefit to attract more people around my business, just like those landlords do the same thing. In addition, I also want to do what I do
Irreplaceable, so no matter what they want to do, they must first think about who can take over after my business here collapses."
Li Xiangtong pinched her palm with her fingers in her sleeves. It hurt, but it couldn't stop her from looking at Liu Jun with a look of admiration.
"Even if my career is broken up, as long as I am not dead, no matter where I go, as long as I raise my arms, countless people will join my career, because I really want those poor people
People live a good life, that’s what I think, and that’s what I do. I use my actions to endorse my ideals, and my credibility is stronger than that of the government.” After speaking, Liu Jun took a breath, but
Speaking out what is in my heart seems to consume a lot of energy.
He was indeed a little absent-minded just now. When his emotions came up, he did not control them and allowed them to spread. As for the results, they should be pretty good. Liu Jun could feel that he was more clear about his goals and his own path. For a long time, he could only
The Jingzhe technique, which relied on a rigid accumulation of proficiency, suddenly increased its proficiency significantly and entered the proficiency level.
Liu Jun, who came back to his senses, saw Li Xiangtong staring at him blankly, touching his face, and laughed: "I didn't expect that my appearance can make people stare at me. Could it be that I have become more handsome recently?"
Li Xiangtong suddenly woke up, turned his face to one side, and his face was stained with red. He cursed softly: "What a shameless black man."
The atmosphere relaxed and everyone burst into laughter: "Hei Langjun!" I don't know if it was what Liu Jun said just now, but everyone looked at him with extra enthusiasm at this time. Liu Jun definitely did not expect that 'Hei Langjun', Li Xiangtong's casual comment
His words became his label and his name from then on.
Liu Jun didn't take it seriously either, smiling and holding his hands in response to everyone's friendly teasing. Suddenly, the scene was extremely lively.
