Pretending to be slapped in the face is fun, but that is not life. Life is actually firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. It is the gossip of the east and the west, and the noise of the daughter-in-law who is not filial and the grandson who is disobedient... For most people, life is actually. Just stay alive.
The world is hot and cold, Luo Huo has seen clearly from the time he established his authority in his hometown. The villagers who cooperated with his uncle and second uncle's sarcasm to bully people are all smiling now, wishing they could give them a handful of broad beans when they were young. I have said the love of eating a hundred times.
The Luo family's dilapidated courtyard suddenly became the focus of No. 468 Village, and all the relatives and neighbors from far and wide who could talk came running over. Some came to reminisce about old times, some came to establish friendship, some came to ask Luo Huo for help, and some simply wanted to beat the autumn wind... Even the matchmakers in Suning all made a sensation, almost crushing the door of the Luo family.
Luo Huo spent this holiday in a dazzling way. The dozen or so personal guards who followed him were more tired than fighting in Ryukyu. They had to stand guard from morning till night every day. This was not Luo Huo's pretense, but it was impossible not to stand guard. , without the intimidation of this group of soldiers, there would be three times as many people coming to watch the excitement every day.
Every day when I open my eyes, I see all kinds of familiar and unknown faces floating in front of my eyes, my ears are full of all kinds of flattery and soft words of friendship, and the room is full of gifts from people, and there are enough eggs alone. A whole wing room.
At that moment, Luo Huo looked at the eggs in the house, and suddenly he realized that it was not enough for a dozen villages around Luojiazhuang to deliver a room full of eggs within a few days. Are there two or three thousand?
It has to be said that only people we know are accepted. If we open the door and accept everyone, it is estimated that there will be more than 20,000 to 30,000 eggs. Look at the hundreds of chickens and ducks in the backyard. They fight all day long, and feathers fly all over the yard.
In fact, country people used to give gifts door-to-door in ancient times. A basket of eggs, chickens and ducks was already the best gift. Although the things were crude, the feelings were genuine.
Luo Huo looked at the local products and sighed in his heart, "Who said Chinese people are poor? Aren't these all wealth? One egg can be bought for two in his hometown for one penny, but if it is sent to the capital, it will cost one penny. To go to the Special Administrative Region, you need two copper coins... If you have the ability to send it to the Forbidden City, ten taels of silver per egg is a bargain.
"Perhaps this is what the Prime Minister said, the wealth accumulated among the people. These properties that should have been converted into money and circulated ended up among the people and disappeared among the people because of the imperial court's policy of suppressing business..."
To put it bluntly, if the villagers of Luo Huo start a business in poultry and eggs, and help them connect people to deliver them to big cities, the wealth of the villagers will definitely double, and the profits will not be as high as those of crop fields. There’s not much in it!
He did it as soon as he thought of it. Later, when Luo Huo returned to Tanggu, he appointed a second housekeeper to take charge of the business. Unexpectedly, it worked really well once he did it. From that day on, Luo Huo's hometown slowly became a very special place in the North China Plain. It has been an important production, processing and sales base for poultry and eggs for hundreds of years.
Luo Huo took a sip of tea and said apologetically, "I'm a little off topic again. Don't blame me for being incoherent, but what I said is very important, really important..."
"From my countrymen, I have seen a very important point, that is, the people's hearts under the Manchu rule are actually not as stubborn as everyone thinks... People's hearts are all seeking profit, as long as you let them see the changes with their own eyes, let them see the changes with their own eyes Once you see the actual benefits, you will naturally change..."
"When I came home wearing tattered and discarded clothes, people regarded me as the incompetent third boy of the Luo family. When I put on an officer's uniform and even the county magistrate saluted me, I became a nobleman in the eyes of the villagers. It can be seen that People’s hearts are fickle…”
"Not only the folks around me, but what about my enemies? My eldest uncle's second uncle's family must hate me to the core, right? My reputation is completely ruined in my hometown, and my second uncle's brother's job has been smashed by me... and The divorce document has been filed with the county government. If they want to come and fight Qiu Feng, my family can scold them with righteous words, and the villagers will have to say that my family did the right thing..."
"Haha... But what will happen in the end for such enemies? Not even a month after I left, the three brothers actually reconciled!"
Ouch! Everyone in the flower hall did not expect that there would be a big twist in the plot at the end. Can the Luo Huo family choose to forgive in the end? Luo Huo's parents are really honest and kind.
Luo Huo sighed, "They are all from the same clan in the same hometown. I forgive him not because they deserve forgiveness, but just because I hope my parents can be happy. In order to make peace, the eldest uncle and the second uncle searched all over the nine tribes for relatives who they could talk to. It took three batches of peacekeepers to convince my parents..."
"Apologies, hypocritical hugs and tears between sisters-in-law, my brothers and sisters kowtow to apologize...these are all boring old dramas. It's impossible to bring them back together after we have separated. This is mine. Bottom line, as for letting them take advantage, with my current status, it’s really not that bad..."
"To put it bluntly, my eldest uncle's family, my second uncle's family, and those people in the four villages who tend to be arrogant and respectful are nothing more than two words, one is profit, and the other is fear!"
"They know that I have accomplished something, and there will definitely be benefits for following me. Secondly, they know that I am a general, with soldiers and guns in my hands. Even the county magistrate cannot afford to offend me. All the children in the entire county are afraid of me. To die..."
"This is what I have learned from the whole thing. Can't it be used in our plan? Sir, your fortress plan is so good and wonderful! But from the beginning to the end, you use benefits to attract people. …”
"Higher income, better living conditions, fairer competition opportunities, including the sense of security that can be provided in the future, these are all real benefits... But why don't you consider taking advantage of fear? Why don't we What about taking the initiative to create an atmosphere of terror?"
Hiss... everyone in the flower hall took a breath of air-conditioning. No one expected that Luo Huo would come up with such an incisive ending after telling a long story.
"Afraid? Taking advantage of people's fear? Luo Huo, you are so ignorant! Do you mean to let us take the initiative and create some terrifying factors?"
Luo Huo nodded, "When I go back to my hometown and slap them in the face, I don't mean to throw money at them. If I just show off my wealth like a rich man and make them regret it, even though it will make them blush for a while, The folks will also say that I have a future..."
"But what can I do? If you only use money to slap me in the face, you can only succeed for a short time. After three days, those shameless things will think of using the same rogue methods in the past to covet my property... Just With how honest and honest my parents are, are they a match for them?"
"So I want to establish my authority. I want to use military force and official authority to intimidate them. The previous act of pretending to be a pig was just to make my opponents relax their vigilance and say the wrong things and do the wrong things. When I really caught the pigtails , give him the final blow with thunderous force!"
"Deterrence, inducement! Killing with two knives is naturally much more efficient!"
