Chapter 489: Village Rules and Regulations
Zhao Yulin knew that this was because Meng Gong had promised A Qian that he would clear out the hooligans and ruffians around, and the young woman was just shy because she thought of her husband's love.
He hesitated for a moment and said: We still can't be careless. If we really have to go, let Zhenxie bring people to protect us. This is also to keep the two ladies safe. When the civilians see a group of warriors around them, no one will dare to act rashly. They will be much more cautious in what they say and do.
The two women then agreed, and the deal was settled.
In a courtyard at Wenjiachangkou west of Huaxi Village, two people were talking in a low voice in an underground darkroom: A hoarse male voice said: Our secret agent working over there sent a message that Zhao Qier has arrived in Huaxi.
Then a strong boy said: Don't be reckless, keep observing.
The hoarse man said that the eldest prince wanted us to kill Zhao Qi'er. This is a great opportunity. When will Zhao Qi'er show up next time? I don't know if he will still be accompanied by less than a hundred guards.
The strong man said: Prince Hubili strictly ordered not to hurt her sister. Princess Hulan is with Zhao Qier. If we attack by surprise, although we can kill Zhao Qier, we will hurt or kill Princess Hulan. Not only will we not achieve anything, but we will be guilty.
The hoarse man said: He received a secret order from the eldest prince to kill Zhao Qier at all costs.
The sturdy man growled in a deep voice: How dare you! We were all sent to Shu by Prince Hubli. I have the final say here. Keep observing.
It’s Mag’s fault. The enemy is right in Wenjiachang. It’s very dangerous.
How could Zhao Yulin know that danger was right beside him?
After dinner, Hu Lan and A Qian went to the land temple for a meeting, leaving Zhao Yulin in the yard to discuss the next construction steps with several deacons.
Wei Rensheng reported to him: There was a family on the slope who were very good at raising pigs. They actually went to Guanghua New Village opposite to bring back the sewage from several big restaurants, mixed it with pig grass, cooked it, and then raised pigs. The pigs were fat and strong and ran happily.
Haha, when Zhao Yulin heard what he said, he immediately thought of the manure pigs in later generations, but they were raised with manure throughout the whole process.
The pigs are kept in a pigsty that is ten feet square. They eat, defecate and grow while standing.
The fur was permeated with the sour smell of manure.
However, the current society is not that wealthy, and the waste water from restaurants does not contain that much meat and oil, which is a great supplementary material for pig farming.
He told Wei Rensheng: We need to lead these common people to become rich. We can build a large pig farm in the village and let this family take the lead in raising pigs, so they can make money.
Wei Rensheng was overjoyed , as he had found another way to get rich.
Zhao Yulin thought that pig manure in the future could be used as fertilizer for farmland and raw material for cultivating water quality in fish farms after being fermented by biogas. He then conceived an ecological breeding model of pig farms, duck farms, chicken farms, biogas pools, fish farms and farmland. He asked Wei Rensheng to find the villagers for discussion. He would provide the money and the village would set up one as a trial.
The pig farm is built on the top, and the pig manure, chicken manure and wastewater from washing go into the biogas tank below. The manure is then fermented with biogas to feed ducks, go into fish ponds to raise fish, and flow into fields to fertilize them. This forms a complete ecological industrial chain.
The important thing is to bring out the function of the biogas digester. If it is done well, it will definitely be a great invention.
Fish ponds are no longer used to raise edible fish, as they are not competitive with the wild fish caught by fishermen from clear rivers. We raise red and colorful ornamental fish and sell them to wealthy families in the city for fun. We no longer sell them by weight, but by size, and sell them in pairs or individually.
Wei Rensheng was pleasantly surprised. The third young master came up with something new and fresh that he had never heard of before. Everyone could make a lot of money. He immediately pulled his colleagues back to the house to discuss.
In front of the land temple, the chief security officer Zhang Yunhai had lit a bonfire and was discussing reforms with the common people. Seeing the two ladies coming, he quickly shouted to Tieniu to hand over the bench under his butt, and lifted up the bench under his own butt, wiped it vigorously twice with his clothes, and invited Hu Lan and A Qian to take a seat.
Everyone saw a large group of guards standing not far away. They didn't know why the two of them came over, and their voices immediately became half as loud.
Old Zhang reported to the two ladies: Everyone is discussing the collection of land, and some families are not willing to do so, believing that the court has already distributed the land to them and that it belongs to them, and that it cannot be returned to the village.
Old Zhang said loudly: "All land under heaven belongs to the king. The land belongs to the court. We farmers only have the right to cultivate the land. Who says that the land belongs to us?"
Hu Lan smiled and asked Madam Qian to speak first.
A Qian is Meng Gong's wife. All she hears every day are criminal laws and rules. She coughed lightly and then began to talk, saying in a clear voice: All the land in the world belongs to the court. You'd better not talk nonsense, or you will lose your heads.
The governor said it well, all under heaven belongs to the king. When the third young master started to divide the land in Hanzhong, he wrote clearly in the contract: farmers only have the right to cultivate the land, and the ownership of the land belongs to the government.
She asked Old Zhang: Those who are unwilling to hand over their land are probably those who know how to grow crops and have a good share of the land, right? If the land is good and the harvest is good, they will naturally be unwilling to hand it over. Isn't what I said right?
Old Zhang took a look at the scene and said: Yes, that's right, it's those families that have objections.
Ah Qian looked at the family on the left and said, "What's the point of a family planting well? There are thousands of acres of land in the village. If each acre of land increases by 50 kilograms, how much will the harvest of 100 kilograms be?
In the future, if they are responsible for managing the farming of the village’s arable land, won’t our income increase greatly?
She continued to ask these families, their own farmland is only a few acres or ten acres, are they busy in the fields all year round?
There was nothing to do on the farm these days, and the third young master led everyone to repair ditches and roads, and also paid everyone a salary. Everyone earned one or three strings of money.
What we need to do more is to arrange farm work well so that we can free up our hands to go out and make big money.
The third young master said that in the future, those who have skills and labor can go to the construction team to do construction work. That is a job that can make money every day. Why should each family hold on to their own fields?
Hu Lan went on to enlighten: Everyone's fields are still in the village and belong to everyone. After we collect the grain, we will divide it equally according to how much work has been done. Everyone will have food to eat, so what is there to be afraid of?
Those who work in the village record their working days and get paid according to the harvest. The extra laborers try to find work outside, so they can earn more money.
Those who are not good at farming skills started to grumble again. They thought that they had no skills, so what else could they do if they didn’t farm? Where could they find a job and earn money?
Hu Lan said that the third young master would not abandon anyone, and as long as you are willing to work, there will be work to do.
She had an important announcement: Is there anyone in the village willing to work in a restaurant? We will select a group of young people to learn how to cook firewood chicken, beggar's chicken, Yibin yanmian and Dali rice noodles. When the village is repaired, they can come back to open a restaurant and earn money to eat and play in the city.
The common people immediately started to communicate in groups of three or five.
They all know that the beggar's chicken at the south city wharf is very expensive, and people who eat it praise it. If someone in our family learned the skill and opened a shop, business would definitely be booming and we would make a lot of money.
The honest farmer began to wonder whether he should let his third son learn to be a chef.
"but."
Hu Lan suddenly raised his voice and changed the subject.
She said in a deep voice: "However, we already have a council, and all matters in the village should be handled according to the rules after being discussed by the council. If there are still people who are dissatisfied and act recklessly, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will order Chengdu County to relocate them to the most remote place, which is like exile in the county."
Everyone fell silent immediately.
Damn, the third young master’s wife is so cruel. Anyone who disobeys her will be exiled to the most remote place in the county and confined.
Everyone was still in a daze, and Hu Lan had already called A Qian to say goodbye and leave.
Zhang Yunhai, the chief guard, stood there at a loss, but his wife suddenly shouted: "Why don't you send the two ladies off respectfully? Madam Hulan, take care. Madam Qian, take care."
Old Zhang then shouted: Farewell, Madam Hulan and Madam Aqian.
The crowd followed behind and shouted to see the guests off.
Looking back, these common people immediately gathered around Old Zhang to sign up. The son of the Li family wanted to learn how to repair things, and the daughter of the Wang family wanted to learn how to make noodles...
Old Zhang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the heads of each family are here, let's discuss it together: Zhang San's family has little labor and still lives in a shack, should they move to a new house?"
The old man in the council took the lead and shouted: Yes.
He then asked: Li Si's eldest son died in battle guarding the northern border for the country, and there is an official document from the court to prove it. Although his family has three main rooms, they have been in disrepair for many years, and the kitchen . Should he move to a new house?
Everyone said: Yes, we should move.
…
The council of Huaxi Village finally took real charge of the affairs of Huaxi.
At Wenjiachang to the west of Huaxi Village, a dark shadow quickly sneaked into the Beichangkou courtyard and reported close to the dark room: "Butler, Princess Hulan is actually bringing Meng Gong's wife Aqian to the Huaxi Land God Temple to chat with a group of peasants around a campfire, but Zhao Qier is nowhere to be seen."
A strong male voice replied in a deep voice: Got it, keep watching. Remember, we only target Zhao Qier, anyone who dares to hurt Princess Hulan will be punished by death.
The night walker outside said "yes" and disappeared immediately.
This man was very skilled in martial arts. He left the yard silently and continued to run westward. He made a big circle before turning to Chengwen Road. He changed his clothes under a dry bridge hole and walked towards Huaxi Village in a dignified manner. When he came to a thatched pavilion on the side of the road, someone happened to be resting there. The two greeted each other, and the man whispered to him, "The banquet is over, and I didn't see the host."
The night walker whispered that the butler had told them not to hurt the little princess. The man said "hmm" and left, going their separate ways.
Hu Lan and A Qian have already returned to the Zhang family compound in Huaxi Village. Zhao Yulin is very satisfied and tells them that they should behave like this in the future and not stay outside for too long.
Hu Lan nodded happily, but asked him puzzledly, "Brother, are you too cautious? Who under the emperor's feet dares to harm them?"
