"My eldest nephew, I heard that the carvings are very good, and the price will be increased next month. They can carve at home, and they will not lose their farm work, and they will make money. This work is really great."
Uncle Mu immediately thought and said, "Why don't you let the children learn with his cousin?"
Aunt Lu smiled bitterly and said, "They only carved stones over them, but here we only have wood."
"Then, then, let's go find those who learn wood carving and follow them to learn."
"I can only try it."
What about such a profitable business! Anyway, there is a lot of wood on the mountain, so they can make money even if they work hard, right?
With this idea in mind, many people went to learn about carving.
The reason why wood carvings became popular was related to a student in a college.
There is a student whose family is extremely poor. In order to make a living and to be able to continue studying, after hearing that carvings can be sold for money, the student has planned to do it while studying. Anyway, there is a lot of wood at home, so he can do it.
Carve some things to sell.
After all, I am a scholar and learn things very quickly.
When searching in the academy, the scholar saw some carving skills in a travel notes. He immediately found a knife and began to conduct an experiment.
As for the firewood used to practice, he used all the smallest firewood used as firewood. These firewood is not valuable, but he was enough to practice.
Just as the wooden hairpin he had tied up his hair was gone, he carefully carved a wooden hairpin for himself.
The scholar has a good aesthetic taste. The hairpin is carefully carved with shallow pine and bamboo patterns on his head, which looks so elegant.
When he was at the end of his hairpin, he originally wanted to polish it carefully, but when he polished it, his heart moved and looked at the desk in front of him and suddenly he had other inspiration.
On weekdays, this scholar is very disappointed, and sometimes the brushes he brings are always lost.
In class, teachers are often criticized by the teacher for losing their brushes.
Moreover, because of his poor family, he often couldn't afford to buy the next brush, and then fell into an embarrassing situation.
At this moment, he had a sudden idea and suddenly had a new idea.
If he makes a hairpin, will he have a pen to use at a critical moment?
He did it as soon as he wanted to do it. He secretly went to the body of the lamb next door, took a bunch of hair and went home, and began to secretly make a brush at the other port of the hairpin.
After the brush is made, he naturally has to make a beautiful pen cap. He specially carved some patterns and wrote the name on the entire pen.
The scholar's surname is Du and his name is Du Songzhu. He was originally a talent for studying. Therefore, he was often jealous of people at school. The loss of his pen was related to a few classmates who bullied him.
After he carved the hairpin, he wore it secretly by himself. On the surface, this was just a very beautiful wooden hairpin, and no one doubted what it was.
The next day, he took the wooden hairpin to the school, and his classmates just thought his wooden hairpin was beautiful and didn't have much thought.
After all, many rich students in the school use silver hairpins, and rich families even use exquisite jade hairpins, and few people use wooden hairpins.
So, at the beginning, although classmates thought it was exquisite, they didn’t have much thought.
This day happened to be the school entrance exam. Before the exam, the juniper bamboo went to the thatched cottage and happened to go to the thatched cottage when he came back, his brush was gone.
This made him very anxious. On the side, a classmate said with a smile, "You have no pen again? Oh, even if you can't take the exam, it's better to go back to your hometown to farm, don't be embarrassed in school."
The teacher from the school looked over at this time, and his face looked very bad, and said, "How did you do it? Why don't you write it every time? Since you don't have a pen, then don't study it."
Jun Songzhu's face froze at first, then suddenly became happy and said, "Who said I don't have a pen? I have a pen."
As he talks,
He took off the wooden hairpin from above and opened the pen cap in full view of everyone.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the hairpin turned into a brush.
"This, that's OK?"
"This hairpin is actually a pen?"
Juniperzhu didn't care about these people and immediately started writing.
This time, he went through the exam very smoothly, and he became the first in the junior exam in one fell swoop, and his hairpin became popular.
Oh, the rivers and lakes are deep, who knows if I have been plotted against?
If you turn your hairpin into a brush at this time, it will come in handy at the critical moment.
Moreover, the hairpin made of this brush is pinned on the hair, so it feels very unique no matter how you look at it.
So many classmates found juniper bamboo and asked about the source of the brush hairpin.
After knowing that the juniper bamboo was carved by himself, many people immediately paid and asked him to help make one.
While making money, Juniper Bamboo has also become more popular.
Songzhu pen became popular in Mutou County and soon became famous.
In Dujiazhuang where Du Songzhu is located, he and his mother are often taken care of by their tribe members. Therefore, he thought about it and taught the carving skills to the tribe members.
The tribe members were naturally very happy to have a way to make money, and they took more and more care for their orphans and widows.
Because of the uniqueness of pine and bamboo pens, merchants made a lot of money by purchasing goods to other places to sell them.
Many people even chased the merchants and were willing to pay a high price to buy a pine and bamboo pen.
The wisdom of the working people is infinite. The patterns on the pine and bamboo pens have changed again and again, and are all kinds of strange, but they are deeply loved by merchants.
Soon, the entire Mutou County made a living by making pine and bamboo pens, and the people in the entire county became rich.
Of course, this is also a surprise.
In addition to brushes, other wood carvings will also be bought by many people.
After all, since you come to Mutou County, you have to purchase more supplies, right?
So Mutou County, like Shitou County, became rich quickly.
In these counties near Yuzhou, except for Shitou County and Mutou County, other counties either occupy the fertile land or the advantage of the land, which is relatively close to the prefecture. Since everyone's life safety is guaranteed, the prefecture is near the prefecture
On the official road, the residents nearby all set up stalls.
There are many merchants passing by, and these people sell some snacks and local specialties, and their lives are gradually getting richer.
The entire Yuzhou Prefecture seems to have basically become rich, but a few months have passed, people's lives have become rich and comfortable.
And at this time, a county magistrate was also anxious.
On this day, Jiang Hexi was busy in the county magistrate's mansion, and County Magistrate Li Tang hurriedly found him.
Most of the people in Litang County have the surname Li, and the reason why they are called Litang County is mainly because they are near Litang County, and most of them are ponds.
Many years ago, the people of Litang County dug fish ponds, and people made a lot of money by raising fish to sell them. The whole county was very rich and was a nearby wealthy county...
But after many years, Litang County changed.
All the ponds near Litang County have been turned into stinky water pools.
There is a large jungle in the north of Litang County. There are suddenly many birds here, and no matter how they are destroyed, these birds like to catch fish in the fish pond and poop in the fish pond.
Gradually, people stopped raising fish, and the nearby ponds all turned into foul-smelling stinky ditches.
Jiang Hexi was quite surprised when he heard that the county magistrate Li Tang had important matters to discuss.
Jiang Hexi asked someone to call Li Tang County Magistrate into the mansion.
When the county magistrate Li Tang saw Jiang Hexi, he looked bitter and said, "Mr. County Master, I know you are a person with a solution, so please help our county."
As he spoke, he spoke out the pain of Li Tang County like he was pouring bitterness.
"We Litang County,
There are neither stones nor mountains, nor fertile land, nor beets cannot be planted, and few crops are planted... Seeing that nearby counties are becoming rich, there are still many people in our county who are not full.
People even want to sell their children and daughters, county lord, please think of a solution for everyone.”
The county magistrate Li Tang had no choice but to ask Jiang Hexi for help.
Jiang Hexi thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will go to your county for an inspection tomorrow."
The county magistrate Li Tang got the right words and then left worriedly.
The next day, Jiang Hexi brought the guards and dressed up casually and came to Litang County.
Because she was wearing men's clothing, no one knew that she was the county lord.
As soon as she arrived in Litang County, she was shocked by the smell of soaring into the sky.
I saw that behind the nearby houses, every household had a stinky pool.
These stinky pools were covered with thick bird droppings. From time to time, birds flew past in the sky. The birds pulled a bunch of them into the pool and then flew away again.
It’s also a blessing for Jiang Hexi to bring an umbrella, otherwise, in such an environment, the top of his head would be affected.
When he arrived at the county government office, Li Tang County Magistrate had been waiting for a long time.
After being stunned for a moment, the county magistrate Li Tang came to his senses and hurriedly saluted Jiang Hexi.
Jiang Hexi didn't talk nonsense to him and said directly, "I have a solution to the problem in your county."
"Mr., what is the method? But should I send someone to fill these stinky water pools? It's good to fill them up. After that, everyone has a piece of land, which is not so smelly, and it's pretty good."
Jiang Hexi said, "No, don't fill it in. If you fill it in, your county's wealth will be gone."
"What a great fortune?"
"This wealth is still in these stinky pools. Please wait. Then, there will be a time when your county will make a fortune."
This made Li Tang County Magistrate believing and skeptical.
On the third day, Jiang Hexi sent his confidant Du Da over and began to instruct the people in Li Tang County how to produce fertilizer.
That's right, so many bird droppings have been covered for another 10 or 20 years, and they are the most fertile. Although they are a little smelly, they are the most suitable for fertilizer.
In order to get rid of the name of fertilizer, Jiang Hexi specially found two similar farmlands and two similar vegetable fields for comparison.
