Reborn Brother Farming Story

"A Taoist priest made alchemy, and the alchemy furnace exploded, and he almost died." Brother Zhezi took corn husks and taught his children to weave shoes, while chatting with Liu Yaoqing.

Liu Yaoqing became interested and asked, "What pill did you refine?"

"It's a kind of soil. It becomes like a stone after being mixed with water. It can't be eaten at all." Brother Zhezi said helplessly, "That Taoist priest is still alive now, but he is about to be scolded to death."

Now there is no shortage of food and clothing. In the past, 50 years old was an old man who could not grow old. Now I eat well. At 50 years old, I look like I used to be 40 years old. I have a lot of strength, and working in the fields is no worse than young people.

Every family lives and works in peace and contentment, and there is no need to go to the Taoist temple to seek good weather. Even though there were droughts and floods in the past few years, because the family has a lot of food and the yamen still has pork at a low price, the farmers are not affected by it.

Those who go to temples, Taoist temples and other places to seek defeat are basically desperate, and can only hope for these ethereal existences.

"Let's go and have a look, I'm interested in that thing." Liu Yaoqing got up, threw herself on Brother Zhezi, and told him to go and find Li Shi for dinner.

Brother Zhezi carried Liu Yaoqing on his back, packed up the corn husks, cleaned up the house, and then took the children to find Mrs. Li for dinner.

Now there is not much work on the mountain, that is, planting fields, making fairy brew, peach brew and so on.However, there are a lot of fields, and people have been hired to work for many years. There is also a shed that outsiders cannot enter.

Mrs. Li is still in charge of the affairs on the mountain, and she manages some people under her command, grasping the big and small matters, and has learned how to settle accounts, so there is basically no need for Liu Yaoqing to worry about it.

"Brother Xing and Brother Hui are not coming back, it's true." Mrs. Li complained a little as she left a table of food and saw Liu Yaoqing enter the room.

The table used for eating at home is very large, and there is a huge wooden plate on it that can be rotated. The plate is placed on it and rotates, and you can eat whatever you want.This was figured out by Liu Yaoqing. The family has a large population. Occasionally, Brother Xing, Brother Guo, Brother Yu, Brother Lang, plus Brother Zhong, Brother Zheng, Brother Ming, etc., as well as children, such a big table You need two tables to sit down.

"They are busy outside, and the money they make is not all from our family." Liu Yaoqing laughed and said, "Let me see what is delicious. There are pork liver and pig intestines. Why are they so rich today?"

Mrs. Li took a small bowl to feed the children, and teased: "Didn't you cook something delicious on purpose, or what if you pat your ass and leave?"

"Hey, mother is the best." Liu Yaoqing said happily.

In fact, even if Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi go out, the mountain is still very lively.

Brother Xing and Brother Yu's children are all on the mountain, besides the three big ones in Liu Yaoqing's family, there is also a young one, he is a little man with a tiger head and a tiger brain, the most eccentric.

With these children making noise every day, Liu Yaoqing would become dizzy and his head would be buzzing after playing with the children for an hour, but Mrs. Li managed to clean up well. Every time I think about it, Liu Yaoqing admires it very much.

"Father, I want to go down the mountain to play with Brother Ning after dinner." Liu Doudou cleaned up the rice in his bowl, and finally put a piece of meat in his mouth, "The same goes for Brother Yu and Brother Xian. "

"Success, let's go." Liu Yaoqing nodded.

Waiting for the children to go out to play, Mrs. Li said while clearing the table, "Brother Hui and Brother Xing, they can just spend their own wages. We have a lot of food from farming on the mountain every year."

Shenxianniang and Taoerniang made more money, but it was all Liu Yaoqing's, and all the money earned went into Liu Yaoqing's private treasury. The Li family divided it very clearly and never regarded it as the property of the whole family.

"Tell them to roam around outside." Liu Yaoqing said, "What's the point of staying at home, now every household wants to send their children to roam around."

"That makes sense." Shi Li nodded with a smile, and didn't say anything more.

The Taoist temple is close to Shangnan County, and it doesn't take long to go there by horse-drawn carriage, especially the road from Shangnan County to Shanggu Village has been under construction in recent years. The road is wide and flat, and two horse-drawn carriages can run at the same time.

Liu Yaoqing went with brother Zhezi, the Taoist temple is very small, a little Taoist boy in his teens was cleaning outside, he was a little scared when he saw someone coming.

"Where's your master?" Liu Yaoqing asked, "Don't be afraid, we're not here to find trouble."

"You, you are Brother Qing, aren't you?" Xiao Daotong saw Liu Yaoqing nodding, and immediately lost his fear, "Come with me."

Liu Yaoqing felt strange, he had never been to a Taoist temple before, how did this child recognize him.

Xiao Daotong laughed and said: "Although I have never met Brother Qing, I know that Brother Qing is good-looking. This is the first time I have seen such a good-looking person. I thought it must be Brother Qing, but I didn't expect to see such a good-looking person. Yes."

It made Liu Yaoqing couldn't help but touch his face, he felt that he looked ordinary, there was nothing special about him, but many people could recognize him at a glance.

For this, Liu Yaoqing felt that it was probably because his temperament was different from other people's.

The alchemy Taoist was very thin, with a small goatee, and was resting on the kang. When he heard that Liu Yaoqing had come, he hurriedly sat up.

Looking at the furnishings in the house, one can tell that life in the Taoist temple is not very good. The clothes and bedding are very ordinary, and the Taoist temple is also very small. There is also a vegetable field in the back. Liu Yaoqing chatted with the Taoist priest, and then he realized that the Taoist temple is really small.

Generally, Taoist temples, temples and so on have a lot of land, and they don’t have to pay taxes. The land is a very important source of income.

But since the price of food has been getting lower and lower, the land is no longer valuable. Hiring farmers to farm the land, the wages or food given, can’t make much money at all, and how much they can grow by themselves, so the Taoist priest sold the land. , as long as it is heavy enough to eat by yourself.

But if it goes on like this, it won’t work. The small Taoist temple is almost like a peasant household, and the incense is also very ordinary, so the Taoist master tried to make alchemy to see if he could make something valuable, so something happened.

Liu Yaoqing also went to see the alchemy furnace, it was very huge and heavy, and some soil inside was burnt and turned into colored glaze.

The Taoist leader didn't know what he was thinking, but he still burned the soil.

He also plausibly said: "Everything grows from the soil, so I wondered if I could figure it out."

Vegetables, melons, fruits and trees really can't live without the soil, and the Taoist leader's thinking is correct, but the things that are tossed out are inexplicable, very weird.

"This stuff can be turned into stone by adding water and drying it. Why not use it to pave the road? It's also good for building a house." Liu Yaoqing said, "Well, you come to burn this cement, and I use it to pave the road. How about giving you money? ?”

"Success." The Taoist priest agreed without thinking.

It's really impossible not to agree, the Taoist temple is about to become an ordinary farmer, and if you don't find a way to make money, how will you recruit more disciples in the future, and how will you raise them up.

After talking with the Taoist priest, Liu Yaoqing brought him and the little boy back.

After going up the mountain, arranged for the two of them to live in the house, Liu Yaoqing turned to Brother Zhezi and said, "Call Brother Rui to come over."

"En." Brother Zhezi also thought of something, turned his head and went out.

Brother Rui followed him to work in the field today, and before coming to find Liu Yaoqing, he even washed his hands and feet.

Nowadays, the longer Ruige lives on the mountain, the more he admires Liu Yaoqing. There are so many people on the mountain, but Liu Yaoqing is actually the one who decides. Except for the Immortal Niang and Taoer Niang, it is the decoration of the houses on the mountain, and the fresh and weird food they toss. Rui Ge admired him very much.

If these things are taken out, it will take a few years to earn as much wealth as Jinshan, but Liu Yaoqing never thought of going out to do business, and even Linhai, Dan County and Xiandao are not wanted.

Brother Rui vaguely knew why, and he made up his mind that he must learn from Liu Yaoqing, and never ask him hard in the future.

"Come and eat squid slices." Liu Yaoqing said cheerfully, "The ones from Linhai have just been delivered. It's sweet, try it if you like it or not."

The white squid slices on the plate looked odd.

Brother Rui had eaten this kind of food before, and he didn't refuse at this time. He picked up a slice and ate it. It was a bit sweet, and he didn't like it very much, so he shook his head slightly.

When getting along with Liu Yaoqing, you don't need to hide your thoughts, Brother Rui also likes this, and feels very relaxed.

Liu Yaoqing was also not angry, and said with a smile: "Bring some to Brother Chu later, he should like it."

"En." Rui Ge nodded.

"It's like this. I'm going to build roads from Shanggu Village, and I need someone to take charge of this matter. Brother Zhezi and I are not suitable, so I'm going to let Brother Rui come." Liu Yaoqing talked about the business, "It is also for you A workout, but if you don't like it, I'll find someone else."

Now the road in Shanggu Village has been repaired very well, not to mention very smooth, even if it rains, there will be no stagnant water, let alone muddy.People in the village often help to repair it on their own initiative. It can be said that these roads are the result of everyone's joint efforts.

Brother Rui didn't quite understand, but he knew that Liu Yaoqing would never target without purpose, let alone play tricks on him in this situation, so he nodded with a serious expression.

He knew why Liu Yaoqing refused to take the initiative to come forward, and since he lived on the mountain, he should shoulder the burden.

Liu Yaoqing didn't know what Rui Ge was thinking, and said happily: "Then you go back and write a charter, recruiting workers, managing meals, the source of wages, etc., all according to your own ideas."

This is a test for Brother Rui, and he knew it well, so he went out with a serious expression.

When the people left, Liu Yaoqing ate squid slices on a plate, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhezi, we can relax. Brother Rui is very obedient, and this matter will definitely be done well."

"Should be." Brother Zhezi nodded with a smile.

Brother Rui began to think seriously after returning home. If he wanted to take on this burden, he had to go all out.

Liu Yaoqing once said that governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. The heat needs to be well controlled. One point too much is too much, and one point is too little. It must be just right.

After thinking for a long time in his heart, he finally wrote the regulations.

"Brother, what are you up to?" Brother Chu came in from outside, holding milk beans in his hand, happily eating one by one.

"The road needs to be built." Rui Ge said seriously, "This is a big deal."

"Oh, then I'll go and play with Brother Dou." After hearing this, Brother Chu turned around and left without asking any further questions.

After reading the regulations, Liu Yaoqing couldn't help but privately said to Brother Zhezi: "Brother Rui is very smart, he can understand these things at a glance, I thought he would have to think about it for a long time."

"Now the regulations of the workshop at the foot of the mountain are similar to this. Besides, the school was built in the same way. It was very easy." Brother Zhezi didn't think so.

"That's different." Liu Yaoqing had a different opinion, "No one pointed out, Brother Rui figured it out by himself, it's not easy."

After the charter was finalized, Brother Rui just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he had to do things by himself.

Since you want to pick up the burden, then pick it up to the end.

He released a message to recruit workers, saying that he was going to build roads, and the wages and benefits were clearly written, and he posted it outside for everyone to see.

Basically everyone is literate at this time. Although they can't read all the words, they can even guess well.

There are many workshops in Shanggu Village, young people basically go to workshops, those who stay at home are women who can’t do without children, old people who can’t go to workshops and so on.

Brother Rui obviously thought of this too, so he made it clear.

"You can go at the age of 50, but the wages are less."

"It's not long-term recruitment, it's just road construction. After the construction is over, we can go there without delaying the work in the field."

"Come and try, who can make life difficult for money?"

After reading it, everyone has to come to the interview.

A table was set up early at the foot of the mountain, Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi were playing beside, and Brother Rui sat behind the table solemnly waiting for someone to come for an interview.
