Young rich peasants

Arriving in Shangting County, the imaginary predicament did not appear.

Lei Shounuo came to Zhu's Restaurant as usual, and the shopkeeper was so hospitable that he almost thought he was the emperor in private.

After sitting down and drinking half a cup of tea, Zhu Miao came.

"Brother Lei! You came at the right time!"

Lei Shounuo thought, could it be that things have turned around?He quickly stood up and bowed, "Brother Zhu, what do you mean by that?"

Zhu Miao asked the shopkeeper to prepare the best food and wine, and played with the fan, "God helped me this time. The sale of longan and lychee pulp will definitely succeed!"

Lei Shounuo breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, and calmly listened to Zhu Miao explain the matter clearly.

Not long ago, the business of longan meat was really in a desperate situation. The people of Zhu's family tried their best to assure them, but they couldn't overcome everyone's fear of the plague.However, at this moment, the appearance of a person changed the situation.

This man is Ada, the principal wife of a certain minister in the imperial court. He suffers from a strange disease and travels all the way to Shangting County for medical treatment.

It is by no means an ordinary person who can make this respected Ah Da—the powerful Ah Da should be called respected Ah Da—to let go.Even in Shangting County, where there are as many famous people as there are stars, this old doctor is also a famous person.He has no power or power, and he is famous all over the world for his medical skills in dealing with difficult and miscellaneous diseases.

The chancellor's wife paid a lot of money for medical treatment, but the eccentric old doctor unexpectedly did not refuse.It's just that when he was writing the prescription after feeling the pulse, he had a big problem for the pedestrians, that is longan meat.

Lei Shounuo said in surprise: "This is really a coincidence."

Zhu Miao shook his fan meaningfully, "Brother Lei, don't worry, just listen to me as a brother."

It's just longan meat, why go to war?This difficult problem lies in the old doctor's pickiness.He said that this longan must come from the deep mountains, and it should not be taken care of too much. It is best to raise it naturally.Second, the meat must be dried while it is fresh, without shells and pits.Only longan wood can be used for baking, and other firewood branches will not work.Finally, the baking should be dried first, and then baked.

The group of people panicked immediately, they had never seen such exquisite longan meat, most of the dried longan sold in the market were whole dried longan, and the longan meat was just peeled off from the dried longan.Where can I find it at this moment?

The old doctor was here, and he issued an order to evict the guest: only wait for three days, and if there is no such medicine on the fourth day, he will never prescribe it.

This matter was heard all over the place, and when it reached Zhu Miao's ears, he immediately slapped the table: This really came in time!

He brought a small box of longan meat to visit Zun Ada. The people around Zun Ada knew the origin of the longan meat and repeatedly obstructed it.Zhu Miao did not hesitate to bring out the name of the Zhu family, and finally sent the longan meat in.He just said: Yes or no, just let the old doctor see.

On the last day, Zun Ada really had nothing to do, so he used this box of longan meat regardless of the opposition of others.The old doctor smiled with his beard and said: "Your Majesty, you have met a nobleman."

That honorable man was sweating in shock, if he believed the words of the people around him, his life would be in danger.

The old doctor quickly prescribed the prescription, found someone to fry it carefully, Zun Ada took three bowls a day, and finally the medicine really cured the disease.He was very grateful, the old doctor waved his hand to see off the guest, and said: You want to thank that nobleman, without that box of longan meat, forgive me for having an ability against the sky, and I can't save your life.

After hearing this, Zun Ada remembered his rudeness to Zhu Miao before, and hurriedly sent someone to complete the ceremony, and sent it to Zhu's house with drums and gongs.

In this way, people in the entire Shangting County and even the surrounding counties knew that the longan meat from Zhu’s family was a good food for saving lives, and even the old doctor praised it for saving the life of a respected adult.

Lei Shounuo seldom laughed out loud, "My little brother is overjoyed."

Zhu Miao drank sips one after another, exclaimed happily, and said: "This matter is not over yet. People who have good things to ask the old doctor, this longan meat comes from the plague village. Why is it not afraid of bringing the root of the disease? The old man was angry and scolded the old man. People, "How do you say this! You want to say that the old man doesn't even have this ability, and he wants to use the diseased medicine to treat Zun Ada's illness! Absurd!"

Hahaha, after the old doctor's anger faded away, he said to the outside world, my country is vast, and the holy grace is endless, the little plague has long been annihilated, so how can the plague recur.Those good people must be restless and kind, and want to go against the sky. "

Lei Shounuo clapped his hands, "The old man is so eloquent!"

Zhu Miao said: "That's right! Once he said that, no one will make irresponsible remarks. The longan meat you sent has already been sold out. I figured that if you don't come for a few days, I'll be on the job." Someone sent you a letter."

Lei Shounuo bowed and cupped his fists, and said: "Brother Zhu, this matter is really helpful to the reputation of the little brother's village. It's a great kindness, and I will definitely repay it in the future!"

Zhu Miao put down the jug and let out a long breath, "Brother Lei, to tell you the truth, I helped you so much because of this business, because of your talent, and third... because of my selfishness. My brother and dad were also infected with the plague back then, and he recovered easily, but he was disliked by others because of it. This incident is also to vent my anger on my dad's behalf!"

The brotherhood between Lei Shounuo and Zhu Miao has grown to a higher level, the two of them stopped talking too much, and they exchanged a cup for a bowl, a sip of strong wine is worth a thousand words.

The next day, Lei Shounuo sent the lychee meat to the storeroom, and after getting the money, he walked around the street and heard a lot of new and anecdotal stories, including one about the longan meat—that Zun Ada was married to The husband's family had nothing to do for several years. After this illness, he bought most of the longan meat left by Zhu's family. He ate a few pieces every day, and his health gradually recovered. Within a month, he was pregnant with a child.

This story became more and more popular, and the pockmarked longan meat sold by Zhu's family suddenly became a sky-high price, and it is still hard to ask for.Some people even go to Mazishang Village, Gaoliang County in person, just to get the longan meat.It's a pity that Mazishang Village is located in the deep mountains, and people who weren't in the village couldn't find the way at all, and many people had to return with regrets.

It's just that after this incident, Mazishang Village is no longer the plague village that was hated by others.

Lei Shounuo knew that it would be a matter of time before the news reached Gaoliang County, so he made a decisive decision and asked Zhu Miao for help, "Brother Zhu, I want to borrow money from you."

Although Zhu Miao and Lei Shounuo had known each other for a short time, he felt that he had a mutual understanding. He knew that Lei Shounuo was not someone who would ask for help easily, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Lei, I have already regarded you as my own brother. Just ask for whatever you need."

Lei Shounuo reported a number, not a small one.He explained: "Some people in Gaoliang County have been coveting the title deed of Mazi Village for a long time. They waited for an opportunity to get the land and the mountain for nothing; now that Mazi Village has washed away its bad name, the land may rise with the tide, and those who are interested may not be able to stay calm Wait angrily. I must be ahead of them and accept the title deed of the village!"

Zhu Miao took it for granted, "Indeed, our business can go smoothly only when the land is in your hands. Alright! I believe in you, brother! I will let the accountant give you the bank note later, but the paperwork of this loan is established as usual."

Lei Shounuo said: "Of course, my brother will settle the score clearly."

The two hit it off and immediately set to work.

Lei Shounuo packed his bags and set off after receiving the bank note.Before leaving, he handed the handkerchief to Zhu Miao, who suddenly stopped him and said, "Does Mazi Village have an original name?"

Lei Shounuo nodded, "Yes, Magu Village."

Zhu Miao said: "Okay, Mazi Village will be Magu Village from now on."

Lei Shounuo understood that after washing away his stigma, he naturally couldn't use that old name again.

Thanking Zhu Miao again, Lei Shounuo set foot on the way home alone, full of dust and dust.

As soon as he arrived in Gaoliang County, he went straight to the county government.On the way, he asked a few passers-by. It was a joke that the longan meat in Mazi Village was rejected by the big county in the north, but the news that the longan meat turned into the master was not known yet.

The county magistrate originally didn't want to see him, but when he heard that he was going to pay twice the price to take over the land in Mazi Village, the greedy county magistrate immediately cheered up and welcomed him in.

Lei Shounuo's trip was actually very well planned, because the county magistrate was about to be transferred to another county town, and he was confident that this person would not refuse this last payment.

Sure enough, the county magistrate was leaving Gaoliang County in ten days or so, and he hinted several times to the Lei family that they should hurry up to get the land in Mazi Village.But the members of Lei's family don't think so. When the next county magistrate comes, they will still be able to open up the door. At that time, let alone the land of Mazi Village, no matter how many nearby hills are, they will own it. Compared with the vast land, the money bought , is really nothing.

The county magistrate was upset, but he couldn't bear what happened to the family.

He winked and asked Lei Shounuo: "Your father is going to swallow up the land with a radius of ten miles. Your little money is not enough."

Lei Shounuo pretended to be humble, and said: "I don't dare to expect too much, I only want the land of Mazi Village." Including the place where the village lives, the five nearby mountains and the more than 100 mu of land.

The county magistrate puffed out his stomach, and thought a few times, "Double the money."

"There is no falsehood."

"to make."

Lei Shounuo walked out of the county office holding the land deed, his legs and feet were a little weak.One is nervous and the other is excited.

Mazi, no, Magucun, finally made it through.

He passed by the Lei family's mansion with red bricks and green tiles, and he sneered in his heart: I don't know what expression this family will have when they know that the salty fish in Magu Village has turned back to life?In addition, the land in Mazi Village is twice as valuable and he has already bought it secretly... Just thinking about it makes me happy!

There is no unparalleled road, and if a father is cruel, don't blame him for being decisive and merciless.

Lei Shounuo hurried back to the village, he wanted to inform the villagers of these things as soon as possible and discuss countermeasures.

His idea was that if he bought the land, he would be the landlord.From now on, the villagers pay taxes to him, and he then pays taxes to the imperial court and county magistrate.Of course, he will tax the village less, which must be lighter than the tax demanded by the greedy county magistrate, so that the burden on the shoulders of the villagers can be lightened.

Considering that he is the only one who can connect with Zhu's family, he naturally can't always be a good guy and just earn a little money to lead the way.Therefore, he will make it clear to the villagers that if he is willing to sell dried fruit and pulp to him, he will accept it at a higher price than outsiders. If the price is higher in the north, he will naturally increase the price for recycling. If it sells well, the villagers will only make more money without worrying about losing money; if they don't want to sell it to him, they can sell it themselves, but it's not up to him whether people outside recognize this "signboard".

He estimated that after Magu Village became famous, other grains would be sold as well.The sweet potatoes in Magu Village are sweeter than those in other places. After cooking, the skin bursts open, revealing the golden potato flesh, which is mouth-watering.This one could serve as another major buy.

There is one aspect that he thinks very clearly, that is, the quantity cannot be increased.Scarcity is the most precious thing, so Magu Village can plant as many grains and fruit trees as there is land.Things are more important than things.

In this way, as long as the members of Lei's family don't move the nearby hills, he will be able to repay the loan one day and then buy the surrounding land.With the accumulation brought about by the help of "Legend" this time, the villagers can start again and live a good life as ordinary people.
