Chapter 17 How to Prevent Others From Stealing Grapes

‘At the beginning of man’s life, his nature is good. Similar in nature, but far apart in habits. ’

‘Dou Yanshan has a righteous approach. Teach five sons and they will all become famous. These deletions happened during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and are not suitable for today. ’

‘It’s extremely warm below the equator. I am Chinese, in the Northeast. Delete these too. ’

‘Twenty biographies, three hundred years. When Liang was destroyed, the country changed. Isn't it a joke to say that the Tang Dynasty ruled for three hundred years? Do you think I am Jiang Ziya? There are also a bunch of later dynasties that have been deleted. ’

Li Yi compared the content given by the system and deleted it when it was necessary.

It doesn’t matter if there are fewer words, the main thing is to tell stories and make sense.

You cannot write the surname Baijia. The first character of the surname Baijia is Zhao.

Now the surname is Li Tianxia.

But there is nothing wrong with the Disciple Regulations, as they do not involve historical matters.

Li Yi read and wrote without spending a penny. The system has loopholes.

He didn't know whether it was a deliberate loophole or a real loophole.

"Let's do this for now. "Zengguang Xianwen" will be written later. The content in it is actually very interesting to compare with the others."

Li Yi put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, and said to himself.

"Zengguang Xianwen" says that people leave their names when they pass by, and geese leave their voices when they pass by. But "Cai Gen Tan" also says: When geese cross a cold pond, the geese pass by but leave no shadow on the pond; when the wind blows, the bamboos are thinned, but when the wind passes by, the bamboo leaves no sound. . Therefore, a gentleman’s heart becomes clear when things come, and his heart becomes empty when things go.”

"Actually, both are chicken soup for the soul. The former is motivating and the latter is comforting."

"The former says that people must struggle. The latter says that when you encounter unhappy things, don't take it personally."

"The former is a politician, tough. The latter is a man of letters, compromise."

"The former is like a kite, soaring into the sky in adverse circumstances. The latter is like a duckweed, drifting with the general trend."

Li Yi analyzed, and then said: "And I... choose the former and disdain the latter, let alone the middle, because... I want to live. I can't give in, let alone retreat."

As he said that, Li Yi waved his fist: "Fight! Ten thousand years do not belong to me, I just fight for the day and night. When encountering a strong one, you will become stronger, and the strong will always be strong!"

After finishing his words, Li Yi put down his pen and walked out.

To Song De, the steward who had just sold 200 kilograms of soy sauce and turned pale with excitement, he said: "Tell them that after tomorrow, if you trade chickens and ducks, the price of soy sauce will drop by 90%."

What Li Yi means is that if you bring chickens and ducks and bid for soy sauce, the soy sauce will be 10% off.

A group of ducks worth 9,000 yuan was used as 10,000 yuan when buying soy sauce.

The same goes for chickens.

Song De didn't understand what the boss wanted to do, but he knew what he should do.

So he ran to those people and told them to bring live chickens and ducks, nine cents worth of ten cents.

The profit difference of 10% was huge. When the others heard this, they immediately became interested.

"Proprietor, there are probably many chickens and ducks coming tomorrow." After Song De finished speaking, he found Li Yi to reply.

"Okay!" Li Yi nodded.

Song De turned around and went to find someone to work with, without asking Li Yi why he did this.

He has developed a habit of saying whatever the proprietor says is what he says, and he is guaranteed to get it right.

According to Li Yi: if you can understand it, then execute it; if you can't understand it, just understand it during the execution process.

Li Yi walked back to the house with his hands behind his back, not caring about how to arrange the chickens and ducks.

There are stewards, craftsmen, veterans, and tenants, and they will make arrangements for these.

While Song De was looking for someone to carry the copper coins and silk, he shouted: "In order to let us eat enough eggs, the proprietor gave up 10% of the profits for chickens and ducks. He wanted to be lazy and feel his conscience."

Li Yi, who had already walked far away, stopped immediately when he heard the steward shouting and muttered: "That's not what I thought."

Those who bought soy sauce left happily, while those who didn't bought left with their heads lowered, preparing to bring more money or poultry tomorrow.

Noon arrived, and the mutton soup was boiling in the big pot.

Pieces of scallion pancakes are packed in big bamboo baskets, like hills.

Forty-two students came to serve the soup first, and the person serving the soup put as much minced mutton into their bowls as possible.

Others have no problem with this. The children expect the students to teach them.

Li Yi didn't say anything. He had to let his children know that knowledgeable people are given priority, and only then will their children study hard.

If nothing else, at least I am proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so I can help with calculations in the future.

After the students finished serving, it was the turn of the people in the original village to serve.

Li Yi still supports it. This is status, and the old man must be given a certain status.

Unless newcomers show sufficient ability, they cannot dominate the elders.

If you treat the newcomer well but treat the former poorly, then the newcomer will not be loyal.

Because new comers will wonder if there are new comers, will I be as neglected as the original ones now.

Then came the craftsmen and the chosen leaders.

The pyramid model appears. If you want to get ahead, you have to fight hard.

When it was finally the children's turn, the haggis that had been taken out was chopped into pieces and put in a child's bowl.

Li Yi personally brought a bowl of soup to the sick little girl.

Then the medicine in a spoon was handed over.

The girl opened her mouth and ate it without feeling any bitterness at all.

Li Yi poured a lot of pepper into her soup bowl.

She drank the soup, sweating all over, and felt instantly comfortable.

There were no outsiders today, so Li Yi ate the same soup, scallion pancakes, and pickles.

He takes any position, but he is still the center and everyone looks at him.

"For dinner, this is lamb soup, preferably with sweet or salty garlic. When the new garlic comes in, we will pickle more this year."

Li Yi stood up and said to a large group of people.

Everyone's eyes lit up and they believed, because as long as the young proprietor said what he wanted to eat, he guaranteed to eat it.

No matter how expensive garlic is, if the proprietor says it is available, it will be available.

"The kiln is opening~~" the steward shouted, and the cement kiln opened.

The person collecting the cement wears a mask and goes over to load the cement.

Then according to the instructions of the housekeeper and the previous village master, he started to build a house.

All the people who came after him felt warm in their hearts. Zhuangzi actually burned a kiln.

They all know that this is a technical foundation. Not everyone can build a kiln, let alone a big kiln.

The newly arrived eunuchs and palace maids were excited, it was finally our turn to enjoy.

The mulberry trees on the other side were all sold, and the grape vines were brought with large pieces of soil to plant.

Li Yi directed people to supplement fertilizer.

He spent money to buy soil from the mountains, then mixed it with weed ash and fertilized it.

No one thought the soil on the mountain could be sold for money, but Li Yi spent money to buy it, and many people dug it.

Song De wanted to organize people to go, but was stopped by Li Yi.

No, our manpower has work to do, so don't waste your energy.

"Water." Li Yi ordered.

Everyone poured water that had been in the sun for several days into the grape fields.

This grape is different from what others grow. It has clear layers, rows and rows, with shelves arranged horizontally and vertically.

"In two days we will pruning and pruning branches, and we will dig drainage ditches on the high ground above and below."

Li Yiping said the same thing. He hoped that the grapes transplanted this year would bear some good fruits, which he would use to make wine.

Plant ash is a potash fertilizer, farmyard manure is an organic fertilizer, and phosphate fertilizer is sprinkled in depending on the situation to adjust the pH.

"I'm trying my best. I hope there will be a good harvest this year."

Li Yi looked at the group of people picking mulberry leaves on the other side of the forest and murmured.

To the north of Li Yi's village is Huangzhuang, and to the south is a group of villages.

The life of the people in that small village has always been good. It is close to Chang'an City. UU Reading www.uukａnshu.netｔ Many people who have no money to live in Chang'an are looking for places everywhere.

Before Kaiyuan, Buddhist temples were a good place to visit.

However, now that the Buddha is suppressed, the temple is better.

But they were all hit.

Outsiders went to look for houses outside the city, and many shacks were built.

"Will they steal my grapes?" Li Yi thought of a very practical question.

There is no surveillance or barbed wire. If someone from the opposite side comes to pick a few bunches of grapes and runs away, what can I do?

Picking grapes is actually not a problem, but I am afraid that the grape vines will be damaged when picking.

I secretly pick the immature ones. If I find they are too sour, I throw them away. Then I pick them again. If they are still sour, I continue to throw them away...

The steward Song De thought of the same problem and asked: "Proprietor, is it possible to send someone to guard the place with bows and arrows?"

"Just stealing a grape, but also a bow and arrow? Do I want to plant landmines?" Li Yi objected, so as not to cause a life-and-death struggle between you and me.

"What is a landmine, proprietor?" Song De was puzzled.

"In this way, after a while, when the grapes come out, you can go and ask if there is anyone over there who is willing to come over and help."

"Then we ask their village chief to arrange for people to come over and help us work and pay them."

Li Yi said to the steward.

The steward was unhappy: "Why, proprietor? We have enough people."

"The work is enough, but the grape fields are not enough to see. It is a waste of manpower. Let our village arrange for ten people to come, each with thirty cash per day, to take care of a midday meal."

Li Yi came up with a good idea. He hired ten people to do the work. Who would do the work would depend on what Muramasa wanted.

If there is a problem, go to the village leader. Datang Village wants to lose face. The trial power of many cases is in the hands of the village leader or the village elders.

In such situations, there should be no conflict, but mutual benefit.
