Chapter 338 Close Several Doors and Open Another Window

Chapter 338 Close several doors and open another window

Because the climate is gradually getting worse, the population loss is serious.

The imperial court was also aware of this problem, so in the end only one kiln factory was left in another county to meet the most basic needs here, and the rest were strictly controlled and no kilns were allowed to be fired.

Even farmers who want to cut trees on their own farms need government approval.

This is also the reason why Lord Jin immediately dissuaded Qingu from mentioning kiln firing.

What he said about pioneering, in fact, the higher-ups had issued the task last year. He first issued a document to see who was willing to go there and give rewards.

But no one is willing to go. For farmers, even if you say that you will not collect any taxes for the first five years.

But it needs to invest in seeds and fertilizers, and it takes a lot of time to cultivate... The most important thing is that there is not only a lot of wind and sand, but also a lack of water.

If there is no harvest, not to mention the time spent, and the money for seeds and fertilizers will be lost, whoever goes will be a fool.

So Lord Jin went to look for those wealthy households in the county. Ordinary farmers don't have that much financial resources to support the day when the land is profitable, but these big households have a solid background and can fully support the day when the land is successfully pioneered...

But these people just smiled and didn't agree with him.

Although he is an official of the imperial court, he only gets such a small salary, and there are only a few clerks in the yamen, how can he do it?

Seeing that the deadline is approaching, it means that his political achievements will be recorded: ineffective implementation of imperial orders.

Coincidentally, at this time Qingu went to inquire about the construction of the kiln, so he analyzed the current situation of the court with her.

Then I thought that I just found out that my former benefactor was Mr. Luo some time ago, so I went to check it out, and found that the Luo family was originally a large cotton cloth business, but later the management rights fell to the other side, and the Luo family became just a shareholding.

That is to give the Luo family a little profit every year.

The management rights are not in your own hands, and others can share as much money as they want.

When he arrived at the Luo family, he could tell that the Luo family had fallen.

But no matter how defeated, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so with the attitude of giving it a try, he told Qingu about the pioneering.

Before the county government put up a notice to open up wasteland, the client was only immersed in his own one-third of an acre of land, and was confused about the surrounding things, and of course he didn't know about it.

Let's say that after Qingu left the county government, he has been thinking about this question: should he accept this "business".

The standard for successful pioneering is to have an output equivalent to at least 20% of ordinary land and above, so it does not mean that you circle around and say that this is your pioneering or your pioneering, and the final result shall prevail.

As for doing other businesses, setting up a small stall, opening a pharmacy, etc., these are small things.

After all, not everyone is sick, and ordinary illnesses will not get merit points if they are cured.

It is the kind of disease that has seriously affected other people's life or life. After being cured, it can be regarded as a merit if it can significantly improve and help the other person's life.

So, strictly speaking, it's actually not that easy to earn.

And if you want to practice medicine to save people, even if you are doing other things, as long as you encounter it, you can still treat diseases and save people, without delay at all.

Qingu thought about it, looking at the quaint streets, the poorly dressed people, everyone was still struggling to get enough food and clothing (except for a small number of rich households, including the client's family), so obviously, to increase the production here is the first in history. one.

When leaving the city, Qingu stood at the fork in the road.

One side is going back to the Luo family compound, while the other is going to Lianshan.

Qingu's heart skipped a beat, that's all, she couldn't bear the child not being able to catch the wolf, so she went all out.

Xue Guiren's affairs hadn't been fully disclosed yet, and it was hard for him to take action.

Anyway, I am staying every day now, and I will spend the money in my hand every day even if I don’t do anything.

In any case, let's go to the edge of Lianshan to investigate the specific situation first.

If you go home now, you will have to start tomorrow. Qingu is a vigorous and resolute person.

Do what you decide to do as soon as possible, and now every extra day of delay will affect the next steps.

So I decided to ask someone to bring the letter back.

Coincidentally, there were two young men on the road, Qingu stopped the young man and asked, "Brother, do you know the Luo family compound five miles outside the city?"

The younger child next to him snapped back and said, "Of course we know, we went there to ask for candy the year before last..."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qingu with a puzzled expression, "Hey, you look like Miss Luo, I heard from my mother that Miss Luo is crazy..."

Qingu Qingu's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Hehe, who told you that Miss Luo is crazy?"

Child: "They are all saying that Ms. Luo is crazy and doesn't even know her in-laws. She almost died. You can't be Miss Luo's family, right?"

The boy hurriedly greeted the child next to him, and whispered: "Yuesheng, don't talk nonsense..."

The child named Yuesheng muttered a little stubbornly, but he didn't say anything after all.

Qingu didn't pursue this issue any further, these rumors must have been spread by members of the Xue family.

They haven't found the Luo family in the past month, but they didn't expect to do these "little" tricks behind their backs...

In fact, this action is not "small" at all. In this time and space where reputation is more important than one's own life, the easiest way to defeat a person is to ruin a person's reputation.

People's words are terrible, and many of them will even commit suicide because they can't stand the public opinion from the outside world.

It's just that Qingu is not the client, she will not commit suicide in order to satisfy other people's "high moral standards".

Qingu thought, it seems that his methods were too merciful, so that they still have the strength to splash her dirty water.

The boy said to Qingu: "What is this lady looking for us for?"

Qingu: "I have a letter and a message here that I want you to bring to Aunt Fang in the courtyard of the Luo family. This is a penny, and you will get another penny when you deliver it. Are you willing?"

The two teenagers looked at each other, one silver coin was equivalent to fifty copper coins, even if the father worked hard all day outside, he couldn't earn so much.

Just to send a letter, half a day back and forth to get it done.

Besides, even if there is no such money after delivery, but now the other party has given it in full.

The young man replied: "Okay, we guarantee that the package will be delivered..."

So Qingu handed over a letter he had written hastily and a coin to the two teenagers, and went directly to the direction of Lianshan.

Going northwest all the way out of the city, Qingu galloped on horseback for a long time, and finally arrived at a sparsely populated place in the evening.
