Similar signs have been out for several days, and Xiaoman mentioned it twice. It's just that Li Shan wants to wait until the New Year is over before he bothers with these things. Well, he can't wait until the New Year.
In the final analysis, the reason is very simple. Zhujiagou originally had a small population and barren fields. It was mainly villagers of the Zhu clan. In the past year, due to the appearance of Li Shan, Zhujiagou has changed drastically.
This change is not only due to the renovation of the houses in the village and the emergence of aqueducts, but also to the changes in the villagers' pockets and the large tracts of fertile land that Zhu Wei has purchased on the other side of the Jing River in the past few months.
Now, when groups of people suddenly move here one after another, some friction will inevitably occur, and it will be friction in terms of interests.
Part of the proceeds from the business of Dongshan Temple goes to the Li family, part goes to the public account, and the rest is distributed equally to all households in the village after paying villagers' wages.
With so many outsiders now, the Zhu family members are inevitably worried. Qi Laoliu joined Li Shan's family, but he felt that the Li family could not support so many young people, so he wanted to get involved in the business of Dongshan Temple.
This is the statement of Zhu Wei's son, Zhu Qi, who is now in charge of the business of Dongshan Temple.
Qi Laoliu's face turned dark. He just wanted to work hard with his brothers in exchange for some wages. He only thought about occupying the magpie's nest when his brain was full of water.
Relatively speaking, Li Shan believed Qi Laoliu's statement more. He thought about interfering when he first arrived. This was not something ordinary fools could do.
But no matter which position he came from, Li Shan would not side with Qi Laoliu. He only sneered and said: "You think the Li family can't support you?"
Zhu Qi coughed twice, "After all, Dongshan Temple is also Dalang's property. It would be reasonable to take it back."
Li Shan glanced at Zhu Wei, no wonder you want to stab me, your son is not a fuel-saving lamp either!
It sounds nice, but the Zhujiagou villagers have been eating Dongshan Temple's dividends for more than a year. Not to mention that everyone is fat and strong, but at least the leader like Zhu Qi must be fat all over.
As the old saying goes, benevolence rises to enmity!
Now, Zhu Qi found it difficult to accept that Li Shan might change the business to someone else, and even refused to let Qi Laoliu, Wang Junhao, Lei Jing and others get involved in the Dongshan Temple business.
Zhu Wei did not hear the implication of his son's words, but echoed: "Dalang, over at Dongshan Temple, let Qi Laoliu and the others go and help..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Shan stretched out his hand to signal to shut up, and said with a half-smile: "Uncle Qi, don't say these nonsense, Third Brother Zhu will be unhappy..."
Zhu Wei was stunned and looked back at Zhu Qi... Li Shan first called him Brother Zhu San, but Zhu Wei insisted on changing his name to Zhu San or Zhu Qi.
Zhu Wei really didn't know what his son Zhu Qi was thinking. He was planning to wait for Li Shan to be ennobled and throw the entire Zhujiagou into his family... Once he was admitted, the business of Dongshan Temple would belong to the Li family.
Glancing at Zhu Qi who was a little overwhelmed, Li Shan quickly cut through the mess and looked at Wang Junhao, "What are you doing?"
Wang Junhao is the nephew of Hebei general Wang Fubao. He is a good fighter in battle, but he is not very good at talking. He hesitated and said: "I heard... someone mentioned that before spring... the fields were divided in the village."
Zhu Ba coughed twice and whispered a few words into Li Shan's ear.
It turns out that Wang Junhao and Lei Jing wanted to own the fertile land on the other side of the Jing River. After the bandits attacked last year, Zhu Wei bought it with money from the village public account. It was originally the property of the bandit leader.
In name, it is a public account, but in fact it is the first element that Zhu and Li Shan promised to go out. This is also the reason why Zhu promised to protect the fertile land before his son went on the expedition.
This piece of fertile land is not small in size. Zhu Wei persuaded the refugees to settle down, using the land as bait. He agreed to lease it to the refugees for farming and return a certain share every year.
These refugees were all homeless. Now that they had a place to stay and could farm and eat, they were naturally overjoyed. After people like Wang Junhao and Qi Laoliu came to Zhujiagou, Zhu Wei intentionally allocated part of the land to the newcomers. .
Li Shan couldn't help but look back at Mo Xiang. Lei Jing came to see his niece, probably because he wanted to blow some pillow air.
There was silence in the room, and Ma Zhou leaned on his chair with interest, wanting to see how Li Shan would deal with it.
In fact, it is very easy to solve this matter... Li Shan can just take back the sale of Dongshan Temple, but this will also mean a rift with most of the villagers in Zhujiagou.
Although various methods can be used, such as still paying dividends and paying wages...but as long as new people join, the old people will definitely have knots in their hearts.
But if you don't take it back, Zhu Qi's example has already been laid out here.
And Qi Laoliu is not an easy man either... Zhu Qi is far from his opponent when it comes to playing tricks.
Li Shan's indifferent eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, "It seems that you think someone is easy to bully..."
"The war in Shandong, mountains of corpses and seas of blood, someone can come through..."
"But you have to worry about trivial matters!"
Ma Zhou clearly saw small beads of sweat secreting on Zhu Qi's forehead.
"Qi Laoliu!"
As Li Shan stopped shouting, Qi Laoliu fell to the ground and said, "I will listen to my husband's instructions."
Li Shan sneered and said: "If you want to go back to Hebei, I will give you ten strings of money. I am extremely kind and righteous."
"I don't dare, a villain." Qi Laoliu kowtowed, "No matter what you do, you will obey your orders."
"It's okay to say this once. If you say it a few more times...does anyone still believe it?" Li Shan snorted, "I just know how to play these little tricks...go back and wait for the news."
Qi Laoliu immediately stood up, took a few steps back, glanced at Zhu Qi from the corner of his eye, turned and walked out of the main hall... He was actually here to complain.
Li Shan looked at Wang Junhao, "Do you know that Uncle Ling and Brother Su are here?"
"..."
"The Seventh Uncle promised to divide the land that day. In compliance with the old rules, there is no need to worry about Brother Su."
With a few words, Wang Junhao and Lei Jing were sent away, and Xiaoman and Mo Xiang were sent to the backyard. Only Zhu Wei and his son, Zhu Ba, and Ma Zhou were left in the main hall.
Li Shan looked at Zhu Wei and said, "Brother Su came to join us at the invitation of someone. Qi Laoliu and others joined the Li family, so naturally they have nothing to do with Dongshan Temple."
"The villagers have benefited a lot from the Dongshan Temple and Dongshan Restaurant business, but it is still the Li family's business." Zhu Wei frowned, "I will be the one to decide on the land allocation, so there will be no disputes. Dongshan Temple will still be dealt with by Da Lang. arrange."
A gentle sigh sounded, and Li Shan stood up and took a few steps, with a gentle smile on his face again, "What do you think, Third Brother Zhu?"
"..." Zhu Qi's hands in his sleeves were trembling.
"That's all, such a trivial matter..." Li Shan glanced at Zhu Qi, his expression moved slightly, and he shook his head and said, "That's all, it's still the same at Dongshan Temple. If there are any shortcomings, someone will take care of it."
After saying these words, Li Shan smiled and chatted with Zhu Wei, agreeing to let Qi Laoliu and others go over and build a clay stove tomorrow.
Watching the father and son leave, Li Shan's eyes shone with a glimmer of light, fearing that it was not just a fight between love and hatred.
Ma Zhou on the side yawned, "I heard that Zhu Laosan was very wealthy in the past two months."
Li Shan didn't say a word... Ma Zhou had a sharp eye and had already seen the problem.
Why didn't Zhu Qi let Qi Laoliu and others get involved in the business of Dongshan Temple?
It's probably because Zhu Qi was greedy for a lot of money... In the first two months, there was a war in Hebei. Outsiders didn't know it, but Zhu Qi probably learned from his father Zhu Wei that Li Shan probably died in the Hebei rebellion. .
If Li Shan dies, the business of Dongshan Temple... besides Zhu Qi, who is in charge, who else can it fall into the hands of?
Li Shan suddenly flew up and kicked a stool away. He was filled with annoyance. The Chinese New Year was about to come. What a waste!
"How to deal with it?" Ma Zhou said lazily: "The seventh uncle is not kind to you..."
"Of course we have to take care of Uncle Qi's face." Li Shan sneered: "Just bring two chickens out and kill them!"
