Chapter 155: Help Has Arrived!

Liu Yang to sail south together. The two waved their hands and knew, they didn't care at all, but Lao Li still prepared a meal for Liu Yang!Fortunately, Liu Yang had a big heart and didn't mind his pa..."No, no, village head, rest assured. The fact that we're all alive is already a great joy. We have food and drink now, and in the future there will be silver. Even when we dream, we wake up smiling." 。"Yeah, who dares to be a white-eyed wolf, everyone's saliva will drown him." 。"The village head finally looked cold. He pointed to the mountains and riverbank, saying, "This year, how to plant on the mountains and riverbanks, what to plant, all need to be arranged together." 。In the future, half of the yield will be distributed according to each household's land size in silver, and the other half will go into the mountain valley's income. 。"That means, together our families have four hundred acres of land, earning eight hundred taels at the end of the year. Half of it is four hundred taels. Your family has eight acres of land, so you get eight taels of silver." 。The remaining four hundred ounces were added to the mountain valley's income, because everyone worked together and the amount of work done varied. 。The valley's income should be deducted from the workers' wages and capital first, and then the remaining profit will be distributed. 。Some villagers understood, some did not. 。The village head grew impatient and shouted, “Remember this well, all of you. Work hard every day, and I'll keep track of your work. At the end of the year, your household will receive a share of the profits from the land, plus wages for your labor. The mountain valley hot spring also generates income, and you'll get a share of that too.” 。"Let's all work together to build up the village. Whoever works harder, gets more silver, and we'll all live better lives! Understand" "Understand!" Sure enough, with a wave of his pipe, everyone, even those who didn't understand at first, were roused into action. 。The village head added, “The second son can read and write. In the future, when we calculate the work done and how much silver each household should receive, just give it to him.” 。"When I get old and can't move anymore, I'll pass the village head position on to him. Does anyone object" "No!" This time, everyone shouted even louder than before. 。They are all ordinary farmers, not very wise, but they are never short of quick wit. 。Whether it's Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui, or Young Master Ye, they were all hired by the Li family. They've been following along for the benefits all the way. 。After Li Lao Er became the village head, they clung to the Li family even more tightly. 。As long as you keep up, life will be fine. 。As for Old Li the Second, he was caught off guard and given the role of village chief heir. It came as a surprise to him, and he wanted to decline, but everyone dispersed with a roar before he could finish. 。Every household's money bag was turned upside down, yours had one share, mine two shares, and soon we'll be collecting the silver. 。Li Lao'er quickly took out paper and pen, recording down each household...Who knew that buying more shares meant getting a larger share of the bonus, but they needed money to do so. 。This was still in the mountains, robbing bandits and getting some unexpected wealth. Otherwise, the family couldn't even afford a single share. 。But some people have many elderly and children, young and middle-aged are few, they also stayed behind in the valley during the robbery by bandits, so it's really impossible to assemble a force. 。Finally, the village head decided that half a share could also be purchased. 。Thus, in the entire village excluding the Li family, a total of twenty-four households actually managed to pool together thirty shares. 。Elder Li also emptied her family's savings, gritting her teeth and buying twenty shares 。That's already enough for half. The other half, even if Mrs. Cui and Mr. Wen don't participate, Young Master Ye wouldn't be under too much pressure. 。 The Jia Yin Space has over two hundred taels of silver ingots, she really wanted to take them out and buy more shares for the family, it would be so nice to just lie down and get a share of the silver later. 。Unfortunately, her family was all there and grandma didn't give her a chance. She directly made the decision. 。She could only lay down her arms and eagerly awaited the arrival of Ye Shan and Dong Mei. They were the helpers that Young Master Ye had arranged for her. 。Perhaps it was her fervent anticipation that reached the young master Ye in the new capital. 。The next day, he brought along Ye Shan and Dong Mei, as well as the two thousand jin of grain bestowed by the Emperor, and hurried over. 。The mountains and valleys were filled with the joy of the Lunar New Year, for the Emperor had bestowed upon them two thousand jin of rice! This was a particularly lucky gift, as it was glutinous rice. If it had been coarse grain, they would have had enough to last until late summer. By then, vegetables would be growing everywhere, providing ample food to keep everyone full and safe from hunger. 。Actually, it's quite a complex matter how those below should handle things once the Emperor gives an order. 。After all, sorghum is also a grain, and millet is also a grain. Why does it have to be rice 。But when Xinting Hou went to collect it personally, bringing his personal soldiers to help transport it, who dared to lay a hand on it So the two thousand jin of glutinous rice arrived just like that. 。The village chief was overjoyed, his chest puffed out as if it were about to reach the sky. He waved his pipe with extra vigor in his hands. 。He shouted at the villagers to unload the grain and said, "For this period of time, we need to open up wasteland and build valleys. Everyone will still eat together. When everything is done, we'll distribute the remaining grain." 。Then, whether each household eats well or poorly, will depend on you. 。"

“Listen to Uncle Village Chief!”

“Yes, we do what Uncle Village Chief says.”

The villagers responded enthusiastically, making the village head even more delighted. 。Young Master Ye embraced Jia Yin and took out a bag of osmanthus candy from his bosom. Jia Yin smiled, holding it in her hand, so happy that her saliva dripped. 。Elder Li pulled Ye Gongzi down to sit, and told him about what happened last night. Ye Gongzi then called Ye Shan and Dongmei forward 。"Aunt, I'll be going north of the river to fight again soon." 。I left Ye Shan and Dong Mei behind to help out around the house. They can also help look after Fu Niu'er. 。Besides the capital invested, I've also arranged for some things to be sent to the village. Those will be their responsibility to deliver when the time comes. 。 Li Laotai heard this and felt uneasy. She quickly urged, “How long will you be gone this time Come back as soon as you can! It's really dangerous out there. Your safety is the most important thing!” 。" Young Master Ye smiled and replied, "Auntie, please rest assured. I know, I'll go early and return early." 。Only then did Old Mrs. Li stop nagging, seeing the sun already high in the sky, she quickly got up and called Tao Hongying to cook, letting Master Ye eat before leaving. 。Young Master Ye seized this opportunity to signal Ye Shan and Dong Mei forward, instructing them, “After I’m gone, you must always protect the safety of the Li family and Fu Niu, especially Fu Niu. Her words are my words, do not question, just obey.” 。“

Ye Shan and Dong Mei quickly knelt down, respectfully bowing their heads in response. 。Jia Yin looked at Ye Shan and Dong Mei, her eyes practically shining. She turned around and gave Ye Gongzi a big kiss on the cheek, "Ye Uncle is the best!"Ye Gongzi smiled and wiped the drool from his face, then wiped Jia Yin's mouth, reminding her, "Be careful, okay""Okay!" Jia Yin nodded emphatically, her joy revealed in a few white baby teeth. 。After having a meal, Master Ye set off. The villagers sent him off but didn't wait for him to return. A young master with a dissolute appearance then arrived with a group of craftsmen. 。Needless to say, this is Zhou's brother-in-law. 。Now everyone knows why Zhou had repeatedly explained himself yesterday, because his brother-in-law really didn't look trustworthy at all. 。His clothes were a riot of colors, and he walked with a slouch, speaking carelessly. But when he looked out over the valley, his eyes shone with an intensity that was almost blinding. 。Just like rats seeing rice, rabbits seeing cabbage, children seeing candied osmanthus... People in the village would not have thought this was true if they hadn't seen that look in his eyes. 。I really can't entrust the future well-being of the entire village to such unreliable hands. 。n maple tree, and many scholars saw it. They were so envious, they almost drooled!" Another classmate whispered in response, ending with a hint of envy as he inquired of Jia Ren."What else can't your...
