After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Seeing that Shui Qing had no objection, the people present began to discuss how many taels of silver would be appropriate for each household.

Is it paid per household or per person?

The total number of households in Shanshui Village and Fengdamancang is thirty-eight, which is about four hundred people.

"If it's based on households, wouldn't it be a loss for a large family? After all, a small family only has three or four people, but a large family has more than ten or twenty people. Wouldn't it be a big loss for the same money?"

"But it doesn't work based on the number of people. Look at Uncle Ding's family of three, all of them work, and it's very important work!

There are also four families like Feng Damancang, with five or six people in each family, but no matter who in the family is working hard, on the other hand, among the families in our village with more than ten or twenty people, there must be more people working than them. .

If calculated on a per-capita basis, wouldn’t they be few? "

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li felt that it made sense when they heard what was said in front of them, and they thought it made more sense when they heard what the person behind them said. The two of them were in trouble, and they just felt that no matter what choice they made, it would be difficult!

The old village chief looked at Shui Qing out of habit, and Shui Qing said first, "Old village chief, what do you think is appropriate?"

Throw the hot potato to the old village chief. It's no shame if the water is clear.

The prestige of age and seniority is displayed there, and this is the most appropriate time to use it!

The old village chief laughed, "These days, everyone sells rabbits and medicinal materials and works in the medicinal shop. Every household saves a lot of money. In the future, they will mainly rely on their own hard work to live.

Calculated by household, five taels per household is not a small amount, and the rest belongs to the public deposit. I think it can be used not only for village banquets, but also for buying pens, inks, paper, and inkstones for the library or building roads in the future. Transferred from public deposits. "

The children in the study can pay for themselves, but what about the master’s share? In the past, the boy was benevolent and did not care about these things, and the village had no money, but in the future, these things can be arranged.

There is also the road leading to the official road from the village. Seeing that rabbit sellers and medicinal materials have to go out frequently, it needs to be repaired sooner or later. The men can contribute to building the road, but the men who contribute to the effort should have a meal, right? For the sake of everyone in the village, it is very reasonable to save money from the public for this meal.

There is also a back mountain, and the wall at the back can also be expanded...

After the water was cleared, Ni Zhouyu and her four families were added, a total of thirty-eight households. Each household had five taels of silver, a total of one hundred and ninety taels, and the public bank account had 110 taels of silver.

It's good. If all the money is distributed, it would be better if part of it belongs to the public. This will make it much more convenient when the village wants to do something in the future.

She was the first to raise her hands in approval, and followed the trend with a wave of praise: "Sure! The old village chief is indeed an old village chief, he considers things thoughtfully!

From now on, with this money, Gongzhong will be able to do many things he wants to do! "

Others who were initially puzzled heard what Shui Qing said and realized that it was indeed good.

Their family is indeed not short of money now, and earning money in the future is the key!

The old village chief looked at Shui Qing and couldn't hold back his smile. This child knew better than anything else!

Only she understands his intentions and painstaking efforts.

After talking about the distribution of money, we started talking about the animals that everyone was more concerned about.

"One carriage, five horses, and forty-one donkeys, let's see how we divide them." Shui Qing continued to throw out the questions.

This time everyone has experience, and unlike cattle and silver, there are only so many in total, so it is much easier to divide them.

"We don't have any use for carriages or horses. The medicine shop will be transporting goods to distant places in the future. It's just the right time. It's all up to Shui Qing and you won't be divided."

"Donkey, plus Feng Damancang and his four families, one for each family, the rest also belong to you Shui Qing, how about it?"

Everyone in the study looked at Shui Qing nervously, waiting for her answer.

That's a donkey!

It takes two or three laborers to plow the fields, and it is even more effective than two or three men to pull a cart during harvest!

Needless to say, when going out, donkeys can pull carts and move quickly. If every household has a donkey, doesn't it mean there are several more laborers! How can I not be excited.

Shui Qing thought that she was indeed short of horses. On the one hand, she was delivering goods to Yuhang from the medicine shop, and on the other hand, she was opening a brush workshop later to make brushes, which needed horse hair. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise, and she got six horses at once.

She smiled and responded: "Okay, then I'm welcome."

The people in the library smiled even more.

Shui Qing was really speechless. She obviously gave each family a donkey, but she was polite and courteous, as if she had taken advantage.

The men, women, old and young who were hanging around the livestock outside became excited when they heard that every family could get a donkey!

When they were planting potatoes last year, they borrowed Shuiqing's donkey to plow the land. The speed and efficiency were incredible. From then on, they dreamed of having a donkey at home!

Later I heard that I could buy cubs at Shui Qing's house. I looked forward to it every day and thought about it every night. I didn't expect that I would be able to get one today.

You must know that the potatoes in the field will be harvested in a few days. When the baskets of potatoes are shipped home, this donkey will be of great use immediately.

"Each family sends a person in charge to draw lots," the old village chief shouted.

"Draw lots?"

"How to smoke?" the crowd whispered among themselves.

The old village chief was not in a hurry, and waited until the crowd calmed down, then continued to say loudly: "Label the corresponding number on each donkey, and then write the number on the paper ball. Whoever draws the corresponding number will take away the donkey.

We wrote and drew on the spot, and everyone stared at it. Whose donkey is weak and who is strong in the future will all be attributed to their own luck! "

"it is good!"

"That's fair!"

"I'm the boss!"

"No, no, no, damn it, you're the one to do it!"

"That's not okay. You are the head of the family. You are the mainstay of the family, so of course you have to do it."

For a time, every household was extremely humble.

Li Changlin cut the snow-white rice paper into uniform sizes, wrote numbers on them one by one, rolled them into paper balls of similar size one by one, and threw them into the bamboo basket.

The bamboo basket has a large belly and a small mouth, which can only accommodate an arm.

On the other side, Wu Boss, Xu Laosan, Fan Xiaoliu and others arranged the donkeys in order.

The old village chief put a bamboo basket in front of him and looked at everyone, "Who comes first?"

The scene was unprecedentedly silent, and the old village chief's voice seemed particularly clear.

The atmosphere was so tense that you could hear the wind blowing.

"I'll go first." Li Dani said with a smile.

Then he stepped forward, reached out and grabbed a paper ball from the bamboo basket, opened it, and reported the number: "Eight."

Everyone looked nervously at No. 8, who was a strong but not thin donkey. They breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the atmosphere was getting more tense.

Li Dani led her donkey aside with a smile on her face.

With the first one, the rest will be much easier.

One after another, there was a burst of cheers when the strong donkey was whipped, and low sighs when the thin donkey was whipped.

No matter what kind of sound, it is mixed with joy and pleasure.
