37. Li Min

The Yin family, the famous name of Yin, is ranked sixth. Now his brothers have all been buried. In his generation, he is the only one left.

All the brothers of the uncle's family have also been gone, so the Yin family's younger generations naturally belong to him. I remember that the brothers had been fighting for a long time to choose who to lead the family, but now I think about it, it's better to live a few more years to be serious.

Yin Liulang was also a very elegant figure at that time. He was young and handsome. He was a great man. He had extraordinary insights from childhood when he was a child.

He could build a windmill at the age of fifteen. Now that windmill is still used in a village. When he was seventeen, he once built a marsh in Xiaohe Village. He became famous for a long time. Not to mention Lishi County or Taiyuan Prefecture, some people knew about him Yin Liulang. It was a pity that a flood had a big blow a few years ago, which washed away the marsh.

When Yin Li was young, he wanted to go out for a few times, but the world was not peaceful after all.

Getting married and having children, in a blink of an eye, decades passed. Who would have expected that such a romantic figure could now turn into such a stinky old man with a beard and staring at him.

Sighing, time is really a killing knife.

In order to express his sincerity and to show his strength, when he went to Naxipo Village, Yin Li took a wheel he made with him.

Perhaps because of the idea of ​​being competitive, the wheel was made more refined than what the Heng family and his son made. On the axle in the middle of the wheel, the four small words "Li Shi Yin family" were engraved in the order of up, down, right and left.

After checking the details of the wheel, Luo Yong and Heng Yu installed it on the prototype car in the yard, and asked Heng Huai to ride out for a walk to check whether the wheel is really useful.

Yin Li was not afraid of them checking, because after making the wheel, he had already checked it himself, and after several adjustments, he finally came up with a satisfactory work.

Heng Huai rode his car out and came back for a while. Sure enough, he also thought that the wheel was easy to use, so Luo Yong asked Heng Yu and Yin Li to sign an order contract.

The first order was not big, just one hundred Yan'erfei wheels, each of which cost 25 cents. After half a month, Hengyu paid Yin Li 30% of the deposit as a deposit, which is 750 cents.

Yin Li accepted the deposit, and carefully looked at his contract carefully, carefully folded it, and put it in his arms.

Then he bought twenty wheel pads from Luo Yong's small shop. The Dao said that he did not have the supply of this wheel pad now. He might have to get the goods from Luo Yong for some time. Luo Yong's Dao is fine. Although he came to get it, the purchase price of a wheel pad on his side was four cents, and the price of selling with Heng and Yin's family was also four cents. He did not make any difference.

Yin Qi walked out of the shop with a contract and a deposit in his arms, carrying a bundle of wheel pads in his hand. When he arrived at the yard, he saw a young man from the Heng family teaching several villagers how to make bamboo chains in the yard. The villagers were also old and young, including people dressed in shabby clothes and withered appearances. At first glance, they were poor in their families, and they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts.

When the year before yesterday, Yin Li also lived a hard life with his parents and brothers. Now he has become a family member. He shoulders the burden of supporting his family and naturally knows that making money is not easy. Their Yin family went to the people's homes to make doors and windows furniture, and they only had some money and food a day. They didn't have work every day, and there were many women, children and children at home...

Luo Sanlang gave him a wheel price of twenty-five cents, which was really kind. After buying so many wheel pads from him, the other party would not make any money. Although it was a cooperation, Yin Li always felt that he had taken advantage of the other party.

As for old man Heng, his master had no choice but to speak, so naturally, Luo Sanlang would say whatever he said.

·

In fact, Heng Yu is not that powerless, and Luo Yong still respects his opinions very much. After all, he is a professional, and Luo Yong himself does not have the idea of ​​controlling this business.

For the sake of Yan'erfei's business, the Heng family and his son took a fancy to a large courtyard in the county town, next to Niujia Grain Store. The same pattern was the same. There was a large courtyard behind it, and the storefront in front was a good location and the place was large enough, but the price was a little expensive, so hesitated for a while.

When Luo Yong heard about this, he lent him his recent savings without saying a word, and then gathered them from other disciples, and soon asked Heng Yu to buy the yard.

In Luo Yong's opinion, the yard is not expensive at all. If they can really make Yan'erfei's business in the future, there will definitely be many merchants coming from Lishi County to buy goods. At that time, the housing prices and land prices will definitely rise. I guess even the soup cakes in the soup cake shop will rise.

After buying that yard and tidying it up, the Heng father and son moved the work of building Yan'erfei there. After all, the yard there was large enough, the county population was large, and the idle labor force was naturally more than in the village.

Just two days after they started moving, many people from the town immediately went to find work. They couldn't do the fine work, so they could do it. They should cut wood. The wood they bought had to be sawed into pieces, and then cut into different sizes according to the size of the wood required for each component. These are all hard work and do not have much technical content.

In those days, Yin also opened another store next to his furniture shop, the name was Yinji Wheelshop.

For a time, Lishi County was very lively. Many women in the county wanted to take the work of the wheel pads, as well as brake lines, brake pads and other fragments.

The Yin family also collects wheel pads, but not everyone is willing to collect goods. If you want to sell them, you have to go to the store to do some school exams first. After checking the skills and verifying your identity, you have to leave a deposit of ten cents. Then the Yin family will give a wooden wheel like a visitor, just one bare wheel, and there is no wheel pad or sheepskin outside.

Then they asked these people to move the wheel back and make wheel pads according to the size of the wheel. The mats made must be covered with the wheel, and they must not be too loose, and the hardness must also meet the standards. If they are too soft, they will not charge them. As for the price, they used the price they received before, which cost four cents per person.

Although the Yin family has a bit harsh demands, there are still many women in Lishi County who are eager to do this job, because the four cents are not easy for them. If the woman who has the strength to work hard, she can take out a wheel pad in at most three or five days, and a wheel pad in four cents, and she can get thirty or forty cents in a month. This is just the beginning. If she is mature in the future, the speed should be faster.

For many frugal families, with this money and having a little more income at home, it is enough to support the family. Although they also need some fabric money, in their local area, this undyed burlap is not very expensive.

When he learned that Yin's side had also started to collect wheel pads, Luo Yong asked his disciples to go to various villages to sell goods and spread the news. He said that Luo Sanlang's family in Xipo Village no longer collected wheel pads. Yinji Wheel Shopping in the county town was going to collect them and asked them to go there. In addition, he also told everyone about the Yinji Wheel Shopping request.

As for those who had not received any news before and had made wheel pads at home and had not had time to sell them, Luo Yong asked these disciples to take them back. The wheel pads on the horizontal and vertical are also consumables, and it would be no harm to keep some in the store. Even if they couldn't be sold, he could still use them by himself.

After the Heng family and his son moved out of the car-making stall, Luo Yong became much cleaner. Those who wanted to learn how to make the bamboo chains that were padded by wheels also went to the city. Occasionally, some villagers would make chains and come to him to buy them. Luo Yong still had to collect this thing.

In this era when metal products were very expensive and rare, using the thing of chiangzi to make car chains was originally out of helplessness. The texture of bamboo was not as good as metal after all, so car chains became consumables.

At first, the chains these people took were large and small. Later, after taking a few chains made by the Heng father and son from Luo Yong, the size gradually became much more stable. When these people had made experience, it was basically difficult to see any size difference with their eyes.

In fact, the gear sizes made by the Heng father and son are not completely stable. Usually, they will make a batch of gears at one time, and then place these slightly error-free gears on the shelves in order from large to small. When it is assembled, they hold a chain in their hands and then go to the shelves to find the corresponding size of gears, as long as they can match them.

Since then, Yan'erfei's production has basically been on track. The rest mainly depends on the Heng family's father and son. As for other parts processing and outgoing, after all, there are not many families like the Heng family Yin family in their area, so they have to stay for the future to develop slowly, but they are unable to hurry for a while.

After so many days of busyness, Luo Yong finally relaxed his nerves. He just did some miscellaneous work at home every day, or went to the ground to take a look.

After his family recovered the five acres of wheat, beans were planted in the fields, and all soybeans were planted, because his family currently mainly relies on soy products to make money.

A few days ago, three hundred hu of beans were transported from Guo’s family in Taiyuan.

It was originally agreed to transport 150 hu of beans first, but maybe because the Guo family delayed for too long and felt a little guilty, so they were generous and transported the three hundred hu of beans for the first time. The beans were used by Luo in the village and sold most of them at a price of five cents and two dou.

Although beans can be grown in spring, the villagers are unwilling to delay the cultivation of corn, so there are not many people who grow beans in spring. They usually have to wait until summer and autumn to harvest wheat and corn before planting beans.

In this season, every household has few beans, so Luo used this batch of beans to sell at a good price recently.

Speaking of farming, when it came to harvesting wheat, Luo Yong also went to the county to pay the land rent.

The rent of this land is not heavy. You only need to pay two liters per mu of land, but you also need to pay some rent. As the government's fee for transporting grain to granaries in various places, the rent of this foot is not fixed. I think it should be different from each place.

At this time, the taxes were not only about renting and adjusting, but also about renting and adjusting the rent. The renting and adjusting the rent was relatively simple and clear, and there were fixed amounts. There were only household taxes, which were called miscellaneous taxes, which were divided into large taxes, small taxes and other taxes.

This is relatively troublesome, and there is no clear regulation on how much to pay. The total amount of household tax collected in different prefectures and counties is also different. Local officials will distribute them to the people based on the amount. This layer after layer, I think there should be a lot of oil and water.

After the autumn harvest, it is time to pay taxes. At that time, ordinary people have food at home, and the government usually collects taxes. In order not to delay farming, general corvee labor is also arranged after the autumn harvest and before spring.

At Luo Yong's current age, corvee service was still a little far away from him. At this time, a man was required to become a 21-year-old man, and then he would have the obligation to perform corvee service for twenty days a year. Of course, if the place of service was relatively far away, the time spent on the road would definitely be considered by the people themselves.

Fortunately, I can still lose the service. As long as I have paid enough cloth and mahjong, I don’t have to suffer any hardships unless I encounter unlucky things like forced enlistment.

Given the current income level of the Luo family, he is not very worried about taxation, but he can still feel the pressure brought by taxation and corvee labor to the local people.

It is said that the taxes in the early Tang Dynasty are light, but perhaps the severity is relatively important. As long as people are not forced to lose their way out, they will be considered light.

At this time, Zou Lizheng's house was in Xiaohe Village.

Zou Lizheng was sitting in the yard and digging holes for a piece of iron bamboo with a sickle. Recently, he occasionally made a few chains at home. Ten bamboo chains could be exchanged for two pieces of cake, but it was not easy to make. Usually, when he had nothing to do, he would sit in the yard to make it.

Last time, Feng Wu, he took out the three pieces of bamboo chains he had saved, which caused the children in his family to cheer. He grabbed the chain in his hand and ran to Xipo Village. He was not tired after such a long journey.

"Ahon, I look at the pig as if it's fatter again." On the other side of the pig pen, several young grandchildren were teasing the pig with pig grass.

"You feed it every day, it will naturally grow every day." Zou Lizheng blew on the bamboo piece in his hand, looked up and looked over there, and said with a smile.

"Aweng, how long will we have to wait until we can have pork?" A little baby squatted in front of the pig pen and turned around and asked him Aweng.

"It's more than ten months left." Zou Lizheng buried his head in the bamboo piece again.

"How many days is more than ten months?" his grandson asked again.

"On the thirtyth day of a month, count it yourself." Zou Lizheng said.

"Um...thirty, three hundred, three two..." The child counted with his fingers, and was not too stupid. He also knew that he would not count the numbers before from thirty. But those many days were definitely not counted with his few fingers.

Zou Li was listening there, laughing so hard that his old face wrinkled. He just smiled and for some reason, the former children came again.

Nowadays, people in Xiaohe Village say that he is a lucky person with many children and grandchildren, but few people remember that he had married a woman before the grandmothers of these grandchildren.

The woman gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and she was very smart and gratifying, but she was not able to support her at any good time. Even the wife was a blessing and passed away after only ten years with him.

He married his current wife until he was in his early forties. His wife also remarried. When he got married, he was in his early thirties. Unexpectedly, he was also a man with many children and a blessing. He gave birth to three children and one daughter. Now these children have grown up and have a large family of grandchildren.
