I prefer people to be poor rather than rich
When they thought that Bailihui might become a rich man by using everyone to grow sugar cane for him, everyone felt a little uncomfortable, so a man suggested it, "Village Chief, can the price of sugar cane go up a little more?"
, we took them to the city and sold them for two cents."
"Yes, we only have so much land, so if we plant sugar cane, we have to harvest less food?"
Bai Changqing, who had been on the side, said again that it was impossible to sell it for two taels, "Nothing else, just that recipe cost us so much. There is a saying among scholars that things are rare and valuable. You
Do you know what it means?"
Some men nodded and some shook their heads. Scholars liked to say things they couldn't understand, so they couldn't understand what they meant.
Bai Changqing said: "If something is small, it will be expensive; if there is too much, it will be cheap."
"It's not impossible to sell my brown sugar for two taels by then. There must be a way."
When he said this, everyone looked like it was true, and they knew that your family was very treacherous.
Looking at everyone's appearance, Bai Changqing suddenly felt very boring and a little irritated, "If you want to sell 2 taels, the sugar cane in my field is enough. As long as I produce less sugar, the price will of course be high, so just use
It won’t be long until we get tired together.”
How dare you have an opinion about this price? We all live in the same village, and everyone doesn’t know what is going on with each other? From his point of view, two cents is too much. As long as they spread the word, there will be people who have two cents more for one cent.
If you want to sell to them, these people still think that he is taking advantage?
What his father said is true, people's hearts are unpredictable. This deal makes people jealous, and there are naturally many people who have the final word. If it really happens, their family will be different in the future. They won't be so easy to talk to, and they will have to be tougher.
The village chief knew that something was going wrong. He hated iron but couldn't make it into steel. Each one of them was ineffective. His vision was only as long as that of a mouse. He could earn several taels of silver from an acre of land. This was such an unimaginable good thing. How could these bastards dare to be greedy?
too much?
How much a person can sell is up to him. If you have the ability, go ahead and sell it.
Before he could say anything, the men sitting below panicked and said quickly: "Brother Bai San, don't worry too much. We are all farmers. We have only had the opportunity to go out a few times recently with Uncle Bai. It's nothing."
You must never take your knowledge to heart."
"It's just that Uncle Bai has such a profitable business and wants to recruit us. We are all grateful."
Bai Changqing stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and said to the village chief, "Uncle, please give it to everyone as we discussed before, right? Don't force this matter, don't embarrass everyone."
The village chief nodded and turned to look at these people angrily. When Bai Changqing walked out the door, he heard the village chief's cursing voice.
Although it is profitable to grow sugar cane, the village chief stated that he does not allow everyone to use their own land to grow sugar cane. This is what Bailihui told him. In the event of a natural disaster, even if you have money, you cannot buy food. This ration is extremely important.
Things are more important than money.
When the village chief encouraged everyone to buy the land on the river beach, some families were really happy and some were sad. Needless to say, what will happen in the future? If life is better now, it will be even better in the future. Buying an acre of sandy land is not a problem.
People who are in trouble are afraid that they can only maintain the status quo.
When Bai Changqing returned home, she felt a little uncomfortable and told Po Li about the matter. Po Li sneered and said, "I have always wanted people to be poor rather than rich. If you want to be poor, you can't even afford it. Her kindness is so great that she gives you
If you bring a bowl of rice, a handful of vegetables, and a few thoughtful words, people at that time thought they were superior to others."
"If today's incident is caused by the crooked landlords of the Liu family, if I give them a penny or a catty, those people outside will be grateful, do you believe it?"
"They have determined that Landlord Zhang is rich. The fact that Landlord Zhang didn't give him a penny or two kilograms is because he is kind. The people in the village followed you out to make money. Your father generously gave you a lot. On weekdays, it's okay to help someone with three illnesses.
If you don’t charge money, and the villagers say you are a good person, you will be framed.”
"If you want to charge him two cents from now on, you have a dark heart. If you give him three or four hundred cents and you can make two cents of silver later, you are no longer a 'good person' and others don't care about you.
It’s not easy to make money.”
"If you ask me, the money you pay is too high. One penny is as high as the sky."
After hearing the last two sentences, Baifu'er, who came back with the crutches, smiled and said, "Grandma, Third Uncle and the others are not profiteers. They will start cheating soon as our family grows bigger little by little.
"
After saying this, Bai Changqing didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Did Fu'er mean that he was honest?
"Grandma, we went to pick jujubes."
Po Li picked up some and smiled, "This thing is not easy to find. It will become sweeter if you put it aside. It will take half a day to eat a little."
Baiguo'er stepped forward with a smile, "But I've been staring at the jujube tree in our field for a long time. It hasn't grown much, and no one has noticed it yet."
Baiyegen glanced at his father and turned away, still remembering his father's partiality.
When he saw Baichangfu coming over, he opened his arms and ran over, "Second uncle, hug me."
Bai Changfu bent down and picked him up cheerfully, and even bumped him, "Oh, Ye Zi must have eaten something good while carrying his second uncle on his back, he's already heavy."
Baiyegen smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyebrows, "I just ate guaizao, and recently I eat a lot more rice, and hibiscus cake."
Bai Changfu smiled and said: "He is a good boy."
Seeing the two of them being affectionate and affectionate, Bai Changqing rolled his eyes silently, feeling a little regretful that he should have been beaten harder last night.
The brat is really becoming less and less cute.
After putting down the fenugreek root, Baichangfu asked about the hundred acres of sandy land he had just acquired, "It doesn't matter if it is opened, and it doesn't matter if it is not opened. If it is opened, there will be no sugar cane to grow. If it is not opened, it is not a big deal to be so panicked.
.”
Bai Changqing is also in a dilemma, "The problem now is that our family has no money now and cannot afford to hire people to open up wasteland."
One hundred acres of land, one hundred and fifty taels, plus going to the county government to apply for the land deed, which is more than one hundred and sixty taels, they can still make money to meet their daily expenses, and they will not go hungry. They really don't have any spare money.
The richest one in the family now is Zhang Qingqing, but it is her dowry, so she must not make any decisions. The second one is Fu'er. Everyone knows that she has ten taels, but only Bailihui and Li Po know that she has twenty.
two.
Baifu'er patted her heart proudly, "Dad, do you want to open up wasteland? What can you plant in the wasteland? If you have an idea, I will pay you to open up wasteland."
With her small appearance, everyone laughed together, and Bai Changfu said cheerfully: "Am I the richest in our family now?"
Bai Changqing nodded, "Fu'er is the richest."
In fact, each room has some in hand, but it is hard to say whether it has ten liang or not.
