It's understandable that I want to curry favor with others when I see them wearing luxurious clothes.
"After Liu Nang lived in the village, he was very generous. He would take the initiative to pay some scattered money for anything the villagers provided."
"Young Xia, you may not know that in this village, not to mention silver, there are not many copper coins in the houses of the people."
These few words, the village head said very bitterly, but Long Lin couldn't stop sighing in his heart after hearing this.
This is the real status quo of the people in the world, and all living beings are poor.
It's not that there are rich people, but they are basically powerful officials. The people in real villages live very poorly.
He knew this problem clearly in his heart, and he never forgot it. He was also thinking of a way, hoping to solve this problem.
When he came to the village, Long Lin found that the roads in this village were extremely simple, there was not even a decent road.
Most of the official roads allocated by the imperial court for repairs only lead to counties and counties, and no one repairs the roads leading to the village at all.
If it weren't for the traces of the wheels, it would be very difficult to find a village.
He has established the road research institute in the capital, and he believes that under the research of that group of people, there will be ways to improve these roads.
When the village chief said this, he couldn't help but sighed.
Eh......
Long Lin heard this sigh, and could clearly see that the wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to have become more numerous all of a sudden.
After sighing, the village head continued to speak.
"Young man, you really don't know how poor the people in our village were at that time."
"In addition to being able to barely eat enough, people in the county are reluctant to buy some things used by the family."
"If you put a candle at home, it might last half a year at that time."
"The chickens raised at home are reluctant to be killed. It all depends on these chickens being able to lay some eggs every day for food."
Chapter 304
These words, the village chief said very sincerely.
Long Lin can see and imagine.
This is the real situation in the village, not when they arrived here and found that every household was eating chicken.
It's definitely not normal for the whole village to carry out such a extravagant thing together.
The productivity in the world is insufficient, a lot of things flow into the capital in large quantities, and then gradually decrease. When a lot of things flow into the village, it is basically just a small amount.
After all, the capital city is at the foot of the emperor, where all the important officials of the court live, and there are correspondingly the most shops and restaurants of all kinds.
They have strong spending power, so they can earn more money.
In the states and counties, this feeling is obviously weakened. Whether it is the clothes people wear or the things used at home, they are far inferior to those in the capital.
In the village, it was even worse. Many people didn't even have decent clothes.
Can be patched, this is still a nice home.
Most of the people can only wear some ripped clothes, and many people still wear grass shirts.
But this little black village is called a wealthy one, and the clothes that people wear almost catch up with people in the state and county, which is extremely abnormal.
"Village Chief, I understand what you mean."
"Then what happened after Liu Nang came? Didn't he bring some people with him? What kind of people are they?"
Although the village chief only mentioned these people, Long Lin still remembered them directly in his heart.
He faintly felt that these people who came with Liu Nang were definitely not ordinary people.
They came here together, it must be for their purpose.
After hearing Long Lin's question, the village head fell into memory.
"Young man, this happened many years ago. At that time, everyone basically didn't pay attention to those people."
"Even I don't have a deep impression. Those people are tall and look very strong, but the clothes they wear are very ordinary."
"Compared to Liu Nang, those people are like little followers."
Long Lin nodded, it was a little different from what he thought.
But he didn't dare to confirm the real situation, he could only know the answers after asking Liu Nang.
"Okay, you go on, what happens after these people come?"
The village head listened, nodded, and continued to speak.
"Young man, after they came, they lived in the village."
"Since Liu Nang looks very rich, everyone wants to have a good relationship with this person. In addition, Liu Nang is very generous, and the villagers treat Liu Nang very well."
"For the sake of the matter now, I will not hide it from you."
"Everyone is human. Although I am the head of this village, my life is also very difficult. I also want to become richer."
When the village chief said this, he kept observing Long Lin, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.
But Long Lin didn't have much reaction after hearing this.
People make money and birds die for food. This has been the case since ancient times, but a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. After some money is obtained, it may not be a good thing.
Seeing that Long Lin didn't feel disgusted, the village chief took a deep breath and continued talking.
"I am the head of this village, so naturally I have some advantages."
"So, I invited Liu Nang to my home, entertained this man with delicious food and drinks, and chatted with Liu Nang about some things."
"Of course, what I want to talk to him about is how to become richer, so that I can also earn some money. People in the village will follow, and maybe they can also get some money."
Ha ha!
After hearing these words, Long Lin couldn't help showing a sneer immediately.
Long Lin suddenly felt that this was probably the purpose of Liu Nang bringing people here.
The gorgeous clothes he wears, and the money he spreads out generously, is it really for the benefit of the villagers here?
Absolutely not like this, all of this is just for his own good.
But the unpretentious and always poor villagers, how could they stand such a stimulus, seeing the appearance of wealth, they naturally wanted to jump on it wholeheartedly.
This reminded him of one thing for a moment, Jinshan, it is said that after going there, you can get a lot of gold, but in reality?All were controlled by others and reduced to others' slaves.
Such behavior is deception.
This is also the reason why Long Lin couldn't help but sneer, but the village chief stopped there immediately in shock.
"Young man, what are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"
Long Lin shook his head with a wry smile, and then recovered his calm look.
"I'm laughing at you. A dignified village head would actually believe in such a good thing like a bun from the sky."
The village chief didn't refute, nor did he understand what Long Lin said.
But Long Lin's mocking smile at that moment, he saw clearly.
Thinking back, even he himself couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Long Lin still wanted to hear the rest, so he waved his hand to signal the village chief to continue.
The village chief saw it, nodded, and took another deep breath.
"Then Liu Nang was very tight-lipped. He just said that making a fortune is a very simple matter. As long as everyone is willing to believe in him and follow him, he can guarantee that everyone can make money."
"For this person, I didn't really believe in it at first."
"But at that time, many young people had already been persuaded by Liu Nang, and they were completely moved by getting rich."
"Liu Nang left some money for these people's homes, and guaranteed that these people would come back safe and sound."
Long Lin smiled, this is the matter of getting rich, and it is also the one thing he wants to find out most now.
"Just like that, Liu Nang took three people and left the village. It took more than half a year to go there. Everyone was very anxious. They were afraid that these children would lose their lives outside and never come back."
"I didn't expect that when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Liu Nang brought those three people back to the village again."
"And these three people, each of them got dozens of taels of silver."
"That year during the Chinese New Year, these three people were the wealthiest people in the village. They ate meat and drank heavily. Who wouldn't envy them?"
While the village chief said such words, there was a look of envy in his eyes.
Seeing it, Long Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
When the old village elder said these words, he was naturally caught in the memory, so the envy of the situation at that time was revealed all at once.
Some things can be disguised, but Long Lin believes what the village chief said, and this is not something the old man can pretend.
"Seeing that all three of them returned to the village safely and earned a lot of money, the whole village suddenly became excited."
Chapter 305
Hearing what the village head said, Long Lin immediately sighed in his heart.
It was precisely because of the attempts of these three people that everyone believed in this matter, and the rest of them were also deeply involved.
Taking a little bit of benefits and motivating more people to do things is really a very good means.
Long Lin didn't speak, he wanted to continue listening to the old man.
Anyway, he has plenty of time now, and he has found some clues to this matter, which makes his heart more stable.
It just so happened that at this time, the village head showed a look of annoyance, Long Lin kept staring at the village head, and naturally he saw it.
"Eh......"
The village head first sighed, and Long Lin became curious immediately.
After sighing, the village chief closed his eyes, opened them and continued to speak.
"I didn't pay attention at the time, but later I realized that that incident was completely different from what I thought at the time."
"I thought that most people in the village knew about this, but the real situation is not like this."
"Only those who are strong and strong, the family got the news and saw those people eating and drinking."
After hearing this, Long Lin immediately understood.
This is what annoyed the village head and old man, and following this incident, many things must have happened.
And what happened here must have made the old man regret it.
"That's it, I invited that Liu Nang to my home again."
"To my surprise, this Liu Nang actually gave me some money and said a lot of words of gratitude."
"At first, I didn't understand, but it didn't take long before I fully understood that this Liu Nang actually fell in love with my eldest daughter."
"In my life, I don't have many children. I only have two daughters. They can be regarded as old women. Although they are not boys, I still attach great importance to them."
Long Lin blinked his eyes, the old man was actually upset about this matter.
This is really fooled by lard, and he found a good son-in-law for himself.
"Liu Nang behaved very well, my eldest daughter was also bewitched by Liu Nang, and soon wanted to marry Liu Nang as his wife."
"Although Liu Nang is average in appearance and about thirty years old, it doesn't matter if the man is older."
"The main reason is that Liu Nang has a lot of money, so I agreed to this matter."
"All of a sudden, Liu Nang became my son-in-law, and he was very happy at the time, and held a grand wedding ceremony for the two of them in the village."
Hearing this, Long Lin felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The old man's two daughters, when he entered the courtyard, he naturally saw them all.
Moreover, these two women also have children.
The looks of the two women are not particularly outstanding, of course it also depends on who they are comparing with.
If we only talk about some young women in this village, these two women may be regarded as the flowers of the village.
