Chapter 276 Good boy, thank you very much
In the vegetable greenhouse in Taohuayuan, all the ripe vegetables have been picked and shipped away.
In the green chive field, all the chives have been harvested and only one chive stalk is left.
The tomato vines are full of green tomatoes.
Of course, this time, the money earned from selling vegetables was also considerable.
In total, he received more than 1600 taels of silver.
Even if Manager Hua told them about the supplies they brought and the boat they sent to Taohuayuan, he would refuse to accept any money or offer vegetables as compensation.
Han Shunde and the others discussed and decided to give Manager Hua six baskets of wild duck eggs.
No matter how much he tried to persuade you, he finally persuaded Manager Hua to accept the wild duck eggs, and the matter was resolved.
After seeing off Manager Hua and his companions, Han Shunde called everyone to a meeting.
The main research is to see how to deal with this silver.
Han Shunde said, "I want to give each household some of the money from the vegetable sales this time and last time.
The rest will be kept to see what we will buy next spring.
If we can settle down in Youzhou City, we don’t know where we will be allocated. We will have to build a house and yard in the village and buy land.”
His words made everyone frown, and for a moment, everyone in the dining room fell silent.
Li Lanzhen saw that everyone was nervous and worried about where to settle down in the spring.
Comforting everyone, "Don't worry, next spring, we will go to the Youzhou City Government Office to talk to the prefect about our situation.
Let’s see if we can make Taohuayuan the village where we live.”
Zhang Deshui nodded and said, "Yes, yes, don't worry now. We will continue to grow vegetables and make money. Next spring, we will go to the prefect and have a good talk with him."
Han Shunde also continued what everyone was saying.
"Yes, next spring, we will go to the prefect to have a good talk.
Now let's discuss what to do with the money we get from selling vegetables."
Han Dazhong spoke first and expressed his opinion.
“Village chief, I think each household should be given some silver first.
Because we came from Hanjia Village, it was Lanzhen's sister-in-law who helped us along the way.
Now that we have money, we can give each household some, so that everyone can have confidence, and each family can buy what they need. "
Xue Lao Hu also echoed.
"That's true. Shitou's nine children and Shanxing's eleven children form a family of children.
They don't have a single copper coin in their hands. Give them some silver and they can buy something if they want."
Han Shunde looked at Li Lanzhen and motioned for her to also share her suggestions.
Li Lanzhen also smiled and said, "I agree. Let's take out some of the money and distribute it to each household. The rest will be kept in the village. Next spring, we will decide whether to buy land or build houses."
After she finished speaking, she saw that everyone's expressions began to become depressed again, and she knew that they were still worried about where their families would be assigned next spring.
If we are broken up and assigned to a village, away from everyone else and fighting alone, how are we going to live in the future?
Li Lanzhen spoke out her thoughts, hoping to reassure them.
“Everyone, don’t worry about where we will be assigned when we settle in Youzhou City next spring.
The last time we went to inquire about the news, the clerk at the Youzhou city government office said that the court would provide homes for those of us who have fled famine next spring.
They broke us up and assigned us to different villages.
But think about it.
In this paradise, we reclaimed wasteland and planted vegetables in greenhouses.
As soon as the ice and snow melt in the spring of next year, we will work harder to plant crops as quickly as possible and fill the wasteland with crops first.
Then we will report to the prefect of Youzhou City that we want to settle down here.
I just don't believe it. We have reclaimed wasteland and planted so many grains and vegetables here, and he can also see how much we can harvest in the fall.
After seeing this, he still wanted to separate us and send us to other villages.
Then, I think there is something wrong with the prefect’s brain.”
Li Erhan quickly pulled Li Lanzhen's sleeve.
He whispered, "My girl, be careful with your words. We can't talk nonsense about the prefect. If we do, we will be arrested and convicted."
Li Lanzhen patted the back of Li Erhan's hand.
"Dad, don't worry, the prefect can't hear it. If his ears were this long, he would really be a good prefect with super hearing and super vision."
After Li Lanzhen finished speaking, everyone suddenly burst into laughter.
They always feel that Li Lanzhen's language is humorous and her ideas are easy to understand.
Zhang Deshui immediately slammed the table and said, "My dear in-laws, what you said is very good. It is indeed true. I think we should build a few more greenhouses and plant more sweet potatoes and potatoes to fill up this wasteland.
Next spring, when the prefect comes, he will not be able to drive us away after seeing us. "
All of a sudden, everyone started talking about it, and the mood became more and more excited. No one was worried about where they would go in the spring of next year.
Later, Li Lanzhen brought the topic back.
"Village chief, I suggest that each family be given ten taels of silver first.
In this way, we can drive the boat out from the village and take everyone to visit Youzhou City.
See what each household wants to buy and buy something.”
Han Zhaoxun said at this time, "Now each family has ten taels, it doesn't matter to us, we are all relatives.
But what about the big family consisting of two children? "
Seeing that no one was talking, he suggested, "I think we should divide it by headcount, giving each person a certain amount of silver, and divide it that way."
Everyone had their say and finally decided to distribute ten taels of silver to each household.
As for the two big families consisting of children.
Li Lanzhen said, "Just give them ten taels of silver and see if they can help each other and unite in friendship in the face of interests.
If there are disagreements, then they can’t be unsuited to living together.”
Everyone felt that what Lan Zhen said made sense, and nodded in agreement.
Li Erhan said, "The remaining silver can be stored in the village. We will implement the work point system next year, so we can put it aside and divide it according to how many work points each person earns. This will be more reasonable."
After discussing this matter, Li Lanzhen stood up and prepared to leave. The rest of the settlement of accounts and division of money were left to the men in the village to do.
Li Lanzhen returned to the yard, and as soon as she entered the house, Silver Fox pushed the door open.
"Silver Fox is here, come and sit down."
Li Lanzhen poured him a bowl of spiritual spring water and asked him to sit next to the table.
"Silver Fox, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Silver Fox nodded and said yes, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Lanzhen.
"Auntie, this is for you."
Li Lanzhen took it and looked at it, then stood up suddenly and looked at the silver fox with wide eyes.
"What is this?! Oh my god! Silver Fox! Good boy! Thank you so much!"
Looking at Li Lanzhen's shocked and happy expression, Silver Fox also grinned. He knew that this was Li Lanzhen's favorite.
Li Lanzhen held the paper in both hands, stared at Silver Fox and asked.
"How much silver did you spend? Auntie will give it to you!"
"No need, auntie."
"How can I not use this? I must give you the silver!"
Silver Fox shook his head and said solemnly.
"Aunt, this is specially granted to you by the Emperor."
"What? What did you say? The emperor gave this to me. Why? How did the emperor know me? Why did he give me the deed to Peach Blossom Spring?"
"Aunt, you saved the princess and Su Chen, and then took them to Forget-Sorrow Valley, and later to Peach Blossom Spring, treating them like your own children. You also saved me several times, and this time you saved the prince.
I told all this to the Emperor and the Empress.
Mainly, I told the emperor that you planted large pots of vegetables in the Peach Blossom Spring, as well as sweet potatoes and potatoes with high yields."
The emperor was very shocked and very grateful to you, so he gave this Peach Blossom Spring to you.
That day I left Sifang Restaurant to find the prefect, and besides telling the emperor what I wanted to do, I also went to do this matter."
"Silver Fox, so the prefect also knows about this. Can the prefect be trusted? He won't take this place for himself, right?"
Silver Fox shook his head without hesitation.
"No. Don't worry, auntie. The prefect is the emperor's man, otherwise he wouldn't have been arranged to come here.
The prefect was also very happy that the area under his jurisdiction could produce a high yield of grain.
He also said he would come and see it when he has the chance.”
