Chapter 52: Pretending

Village Chief Li also nodded, thinking that Liu Pan'er's method was good, "I can understand that everyone has selfish motives. Now that you are starving to death, you have all kinds of little ideas.

Okay, after all, these grains did not fall from the sky, they were also accumulated by you through hard work. According to the Yuan Qing family, if you give one kilogram of grain now, the village will pay back one and a half kilograms later.

If it works, just continue; if it doesn't work, just cook separately. I've finally seen it through. Everyone is in a new place and there is no danger. Everyone wants to take advantage, without thinking, where can we take advantage of so many advantages? "

Liu Pan'er thought for a while and said: "If everyone is unwilling, my family will withdraw. Uncle village chief, my family has three taels of silver, and your family will contribute three taels, so there is a total of six taels of silver. A pair of iron plows has four taels of silver, and we will share it."

A pair of iron plows and two taels of grain.

We still have two cows, and we can open up a lot of wasteland. Isn’t it better than forming a partnership with the villagers? You obviously have good intentions, but now that you have just lived a stable life, you start to plot. I hate people like this the most."

After Zhou Cuihua heard Liu Pan'er's words, her eyes immediately turned red, "You are the leader of this poor village. You have worked hard and contributed money and effort along the way, but who can take your lead? Let's break up and quit. Who is willing to be the leader?"

This is the village chief, and we don’t deserve it anymore.”

In fact, Zhou Cuihua did not really blame her husband, but complained that the people in the village were ignorant.

There are three cows in the village, one for her family and one for Liu Pan'er's family, all of which are used by the village, but who in the village remembers them?

Grandma Li recently saw that her son and daughter-in-law were working hard, but the people in the village were getting more and more exaggerated, and she was very angry. "The villagers said it nicely, and they stretched their hips when doing things, so forget it. We talked to Yuan Qing's family

If you want to form a partnership, please sign up and take out the grain. It will be considered as a loan from the village. If you exchange it later, you will not eat for free."

When the villagers heard that they were going to disband, everyone was dumbfounded. Village Chief Li is the backbone of the village. If anything happens, Village Chief Li will make the decision and everyone will follow suit. That's right.

When we were fleeing from famine on the other side of the Dadu River, the villagers didn't listen to Village Chief Li. So many people went into the dense forest, and many died and were injured. It was terrible.

Now that it was heard that the grain was being borrowed and not given for free, the villagers immediately agreed.

After all, they also have to eat, and they can still get food when the time comes, which is considered a profit!

Li Erluzi had a large family, so he saved a lot of grain, but his family had no money, so when they bought grain seeds and iron plows, they did not contribute any money.

If the gang breaks up, even if there are many people in their family, but they have no cattle or iron plows, they can only dig by hand. How much wasteland can be opened in one day?

So Li Erzi laughed and stepped forward to apologize to Village Chief Li, "Village Chief, don't be angry. I didn't mean not to borrow food. I can't bear to see those who eat the village's food even though they have food, and they will take advantage."

."

Village Chief Li glanced at Li Er and rolled his eyes, "Isn't that what you are like?"

Li Er stupefied with a grimace on his face, "Village Chief, my family has no money, only this little food, and there are so many people. If we starve, my family still has to work. How can we survive?"

Village Chief Li glared at Li Er, then looked around and said to everyone: "Anyway, feel free to do whatever you want. If there is no food, we will break up. We will share as much as we can now."

There is not enough fertile farmland. When the imperial envoy, Mr. Gu, sees that we are not working hard, he will drive us back to our hometown in Yuyang Mansion. From now on, you can escape famine every few years. Anyway, my family is honest and willing to work, and open twenty or thirty acres of land.

, you can always stay and settle down.”

When Li Er saw that Village Chief Li was really angry, he immediately turned to his eldest son and said, "You silly boy, what are you still doing? Hurry up and carry two bags of our food?"

Li Erluzi's eldest son quickly carried two bags of grain, one bag of rice and one bag of flour.

Not only that, Li Erzi quickly urged Liu Pan'er, "From Yuan Qing's family, write it down quickly and keep these two bags. When the time comes, just give us three bags like this."

Others also took out their food one after another, one bag from this family and two bags from that family, and they all gathered around, "Village Chief, we also lend food to the village, so don't break up!"

Everyone knows that without the leadership of Village Chief Li, even if they can open up wasteland, it will be much less. They will not do such a disadvantageous thing.

Nowadays, more than ten acres of land can be cultivated in a day. If it is allocated to a family, it is estimated that even half an acre will be difficult. Not to mention that not everyone can use a shovel, pickaxe, or iron plow, and not every family has a scalper.

Liu Pan'er took a new board and recorded it with blackened branches. Of course, she also recorded the food of her family and Village Chief Li's family. The village would also pay them back the food in the future.

Originally she didn't want to argue with them, but now that these people are arguing with her, it's only fair that she should argue with them too.

Seeing more than 20 bags of grain in the bamboo shed, Zhou Cuihua felt relieved, "My boss, since the grain has been harvested now, we will work until the day when the grain is gone. The fields opened then belong to the village for the time being, and we will wait until the grain is returned and purchased.

The money for the seeds will be used, and then the remaining grain and land will be distributed to everyone."

Village Chief Li also nodded, "Okay, that's it. Now we can clear more than ten acres of wasteland every day. This food can last for ten days, which is almost more than one hundred acres. For the rest of the time, everyone depends on their ability."

Liu Pan'er nodded, "I agree. Originally I didn't want to care about it, but now that everyone is so concerned about it, I will care about it too.

My cows and the village chief's cows work every day, and we can't give our cows to the villagers for free. So when I ask for land distribution, the cows are also counted as adults for the land distribution. Do you agree?"

Another family with cattle, Li Dageng, quickly raised his hand and said, "I agree. My cattle go out early and come back late. Just like people, they cannot be used by the villagers in vain. If the villagers don't agree, then I won't let my cattle be used by the villagers."

The cattle have gone to open up wasteland."

Who wouldn't take advantage of others by cheating?

What's more, this request is normal.

Even if the people in the village are unhappy, they have cows, so they are so stubborn.

Li Erzi said sarcastically: "That's right. Without cattle, we can't open up so much land in one day just by opening up wasteland."

So Liu Paner wrote these on the wooden board and settled it.

After Liu Pan'er came back, Ms. Liu muttered in a low voice, "Three brothers and sisters, this is how it should be. I think the people in the village are starting to have their own thoughts now that they are living a peaceful life."

Liu Pan'er smiled and said, "This is how people are, this is their nature. Sister-in-law, don't worry. If the two of us work together well, we can open up wasteland even with our children."
