43. Chapter 43 Qiao Shan
"Four thousand taels, nothing for me?" The village chief's wife stood still with some dissatisfaction.
"Of course you have a little bit. If you want a little bit, just do what I say quickly, otherwise it will be gone." The village chief glared at his wife angrily. He is a wife who is good at everything.
, but he just takes money too seriously.
"I'll go right away." After hearing what her husband said, the village chief's wife didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to find someone.
The so-called going home to get money was actually just a ploy by Ruixue. She didn't want outsiders to find out that she had put a large amount of cash on her, so it was necessary to guard against others.
On the way back, Ruixue told Xuejian not to tell anyone about this matter. Xuejian seemed to be the only one who was interested in Ruixue, so of course he nodded and agreed.
After returning home, Qiao Zi was still cleaning up. Ruixue stayed for a while and found an excuse to leave. This time she went to the village chief's house alone, and there were already several people sitting in the village chief's house, who were the elders of the village.
Under their witness, both parties handed over the documents with one hand and the money with the other. The major events in Jinxiu Village in the past fifty years were completed in this way and at an extremely fast speed.
After receiving the money, the village chief and the elders were very excited. Generations of people in Jinxiu Village have been poor. How have they ever seen so much money? If it were not for the responsibility of being a village chief to remind him, the village chief would have had a thought.
The urge to keep the money for yourself.
"Village chief, when will we go to the government to register?" After confirming that the document was correct, Ruixue accepted it carefully and then asked the village chief.
"It's too late today, let's go to the government office early tomorrow morning." The village chief is also a cheerful person.
"Okay, then we will go at dawn tomorrow and take my carriage." Ruixue nodded, she could already drive the carriage by herself.
"no problem."
By the time Qiao Zi found out about this, it was already the next day. Ruixue and the village chief went to the city early in the morning, filed a record with the government, and renamed the mountain behind Jinxiu Village Qiao Shan, making it the private property of her and her daughter.
.
Qiao Zi was angry at spending a few thousand taels to buy a few mountains. The mountains were originally the common property of the village. As a villager, no one would stop her from climbing trees on the mountain, digging wild vegetables, or doing other things.
Yours, this has been the case since ancient times. The mountains bought by others are all useful, or the mountains themselves have greater value, but the mountain behind Jinxiu Village, no, should be called Qiao Shan now, she really can't see it
What's the use of Qiao Shan buying it?
No matter how rich you are, you can't spend money like this. Ruixue had more than 10,000 taels of silver, and now she spent 4,000 taels to buy a few useless mountains. Even though she promised to love her daughter, Qiao Zi was angry with Ruixue.
I don’t discuss with myself the behavior of spending so much money alone.
Not to mention that the two of them now have no backstage, even if they are still staying in the Song family, Ruixue's behavior is not allowed.
Qiao Zi was very angry and locked herself in the room and ignored Ruixue. Although it was impossible to make the village chief return the money, she wanted her daughter to know her dissatisfaction.
Compared with Qiao Zi's anger, the villagers in Jinxiu Village now regard Ruixue and her daughter as Bodhisattvas. Since their arrival, the living standards of the villagers have been greatly improved. First, Qiao Zi's mother
The women hired people to build a house, and soon after they arrived, Ruixue went up the mountain and found a wild boar that was about to die. She asked the villagers to hold a wild boar feast with meat, and then asked everyone to help open up wasteland. Now Ruixue generously used the money to buy the mountain.
.
Thousands of taels of silver, this is just a legend in the eyes of the villagers of Jinxiu Village. Not to mention them, even their ancestors have never seen so many taels of silver at once.
After discussing with several elders, the village chief was very generous and decided that apart from the Qiao family who bought the mountain, the villagers of Jinxiu Village and the elderly over fifty years old, regardless of gender, would receive thirty taels of silver each.
Villagers between the ages of sixteen and fifty, as laborers, each male can receive twenty taels of silver, and each female can receive fifteen taels of silver. Children under the age of sixteen, boys can each receive
Ten taels are allocated, and each girl can receive five taels. The village chief and several elders in the village can receive an additional twenty taels of silver. The remaining money will be put into the village's public funds for the construction of the village.
As soon as this plan came out, the villagers with a large family, including elderly people and mostly men, were very happy. On the other hand, the villagers were a little depressed. However, after all, this was an unexpected windfall and a huge sum of money for them, so it was very satisfying.
Almost everyone figured it out and happily waited for the village chief to distribute the money.
According to this distribution plan, almost one thousand taels of silver were allocated, and there were still more than three thousand taels left from the four thousand taels. The village chief announced again that one thousand taels would be used to repair the ancestral hall in the village that was about to collapse, and he would also spend two hundred taels.
Build a school and a house for the teacher in the village. From then on, Jinxiu Village will also have its own teacher. Children in the village will all go to school for free for enlightenment education.
What must be mentioned here is that Ruixue told the village chief that she had invited a scholar to be a teacher in the village, and he would come over every two days. The other person also had an old mother who wanted to be brought over at the same time. The village chief, who was rich and wealthy, heard this.
, he immediately and generously stated that this gentleman’s salary would be paid by the village’s public funds, and Ruixue did not have to pay for it himself. After learning about the salary given by Ruixue, the village chief felt a little pain, but thinking that the man was a scholar-level figure, maybe
One day, the children in the village can be admitted as a scholar. This can be regarded as a matter of honoring the ancestors. For ordinary people, scholars are very respectable, so even if it hurts a little, the village chief has not regretted it.
, which actually made Ruixue look at it differently.
The villagers had just received the money. When they heard that they could build the village's ancestral hall and send their children to school for free, they all cheered. They have been farming here for generations. It's not that they don't want to stand out. If knowledge can change their destiny, they won't.
I can say it, but I still understand the truth behind it, but I am just struggling because there are no conditions. Now that there are conditions, of course everyone cheers.
When the village meeting was held, everyone arrived except Qiao Zi who lost her temper and locked herself in the room, including Ruixue. After hearing the village chief’s plan, some villagers immediately suggested that manpower was needed to build ancestral halls and schools, but the villagers
The labor force in the farm had already cleared land for the Qiao family, and everyone immediately looked at Ruixue.
"The work of clearing land cannot be completed in one or two days. The construction of ancestral halls and schools is also very important. All the available labor force in our village has been used. In the final analysis, the labor force in our village is still too small. Things on both sides
They are all important and cannot be stopped, so my suggestion is that the men in the village should stop clearing land first and settle the affairs of the ancestral hall and school. As for the labor force on my side, firstly, there are women from the village, and secondly,
Chapter completed!
