My Island Pass Hyundai

Chapter 125 Negotiations
In Baishuiwan, swords were on the verge of breaking out, and the atmosphere was tense.Ri was standing in the middle frowning with a headache.

"Master Lizheng, you can't favor them just because they are of the same clan as you, you have to pay us for everything you say this time."

"What do you pay for? Is the sea your home?"

"How do you talk?! Are you reasonable?!"

Seeing that the pushing and pushing were about to start a fight again, Li Zheng wanted to stop it loudly but couldn't help coughing, the cough was so out of breath, it was very scary.

"Lizheng, Lizheng, are you okay?"

"I, I'm fine, grab them quickly!"

After Lizheng finished explaining to his son with a blushing face, he quickly stretched out his head and drank some water handed over by the person next to him.The warm water flowed down his throat, finally making him feel better.

"Stop making noise, be quiet!"

As Baishuiwan, Lizheng still has prestige. When he spoke, people on both sides stopped for a while.

This incident is so troublesome, it is still strange to say.

Baishuiwan is a very long place, with two big villages, outsiders have always called it Qiancun and Houcun.The village where Lizheng lives is Houcun, and the person who is making a fuss about losing money is from Qiancun.

We live by the sea together, and there are many fishermen, so it is inevitable that there will be some disputes over fishing sites.In the early years, the two villages agreed that everyone would not disturb each other in the sea area in front of their respective villages, and it didn't matter if it was further away.

It has been peaceful for decades, but yesterday a member of the Ye family in Houcun came back from fishing without much harvest. On the way to the pier, he happened to encounter a dense school of fish swimming towards his boat.At this time, who still remembers the unwritten agreement, just want to catch a wave of fish in the net quickly to prevent the fish from escaping.

It was also his luck that he caught nearly a hundred catties of pomfret in the middle of the fish school with a net.

This fish is about [-] yuan a catty at the pier, so even if it is sold cheaply, it will cost more than two taels of silver.

Two taels of silver, who wouldn't be envious.

At first, the people in the village only thought that he was lucky when they heard about it, but later on, I don’t know who said that the man surnamed Ye didn’t catch any fish at all when he went to sea. of.

It is said that there are noses and eyes, and everyone feels uncomfortable.When they inquired further, they found witnesses.Although the witness was far away at the time, the fishermen were too familiar with the action of getting out of the net, and they said it was categorical.

Now the front village was in trouble, and a group of men went outside the back village clamoring, insisting that the Ye clansman should pay them back the money.

Who would be willing to give up two taels of silver, especially if the parents of the family are sick and take medicine all the year round, the family owes a lot of money.

One asked for money, and the other refused to give it, so there was a commotion.

Lizheng is difficult. The rule that the two villages do not invade each other's waters was established by his predecessor Lizheng. He himself thinks it is reasonable, so he has been restraining the villagers in this way all these years.But now that his own family has caused trouble, he feels that this rule is too unreasonable.After all, there is no owner of the sea, unless there is a seal and notice from the government, how can they say that the sea area is theirs.

The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is right, and there is no result after arguing for a long time.

Li Zheng was old and mentally weak, so he had no choice but to call in the head of the former village to discuss with him in a gentle voice.

"Brother Chai, look at this incident. I think everyone has their reasons."

Village Chief Chai raised his eyebrows and was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Zheng.

"The place where Ye Qiu cast his nets is indeed the site of your former village. I have no objection to that. It's just that no one in your village was there at the time, and the fish disappeared in a flash. Needless to say, he was lucky to catch so many fish on the net. If he doesn't catch the net, the fish will be gone for nothing, and no one will benefit. In my opinion, the matter of sharing half of the two taels of silver with you will be over, and we will still be friends."

"Lizheng!"

Ye Qiu was very unwilling, and neither were the men from the former village opposite him.Village Chief Chai frowned and spoke a little rudely.

"Lizheng's words are a bit too unfair. Since the fish is in the territory of our Qiancun, it is the fish of our Qiancun. Yeqiu fished and sold the money, not to mention paying us all, at least half of it. , I think two taels of silver is not bad, and zero is not necessary, and he will pay for it."

Village head Chai is not afraid of Li Zheng, and even wants to suppress him.Because Lizheng was old and sick, he was about to retire, and he had already made arrangements that the next chief of the village would be him.At this time, it is necessary to establish one's own prestige, and naturally one cannot regress.

Li was hearing the meaning of his words, and his eyes became sharp.Before he retreated, someone was already trying to crush him to death.

"Two taels of silver is impossible. Brother Chai, if you insist on not reconciling, then I will have to go to the county government. I want to see who owns the sea area of ​​Qiancun, and whether it is written in black and white. It is the site of your former village."

"you!"

An immortal!

Village head Chai almost cursed.How could the county government recognize this unwritten agreement between the two villages? They would only say that the sea area belonged to the public.

He is just the village chief, he is Li Zheng, and the people in the county government must be helping him.What else is there to say.

In the end, Ye Qiu reluctantly took out more than one tael of silver and handed it to Village Chief Chai.

Before leaving, Village Chief Chai turned his head and snorted coldly.

"Lizheng, people are doing what the sky is watching, take so much money and be careful not to spend your life!"

After hearing this, the people in the village almost became agitated and chased after him to fight, but Li Zheng finally persuaded him to come back.

"It's just a few happy words, it's not a big deal. Ye Qiu, come home with me in a while, and I'll give you back the one or two taels of silver. Next time, remember not to go fishing there."

Ye Qiu, with red eyes, was stunned for a moment, only to react when he was slapped by his companion.He ran to Lizheng's side and stammered: "Lizheng, I, I, I can't take it, I want your money."

"Then you don't have to pay back the bill?"

"Yes, I have to pay it back..."

"Then it's over, take it. I made the decision to distribute your money, so naturally I should fill this hole myself."

Li was walking slowly with a cane on his back, his back bent a little more inexplicably.

He is getting old, and the next Rizheng is likely to be the one surnamed Chai.I'm afraid that the people in the back village will suffer a lot of bullying at that time, and I can't help but sigh when I think about it.

It's a pity that there are no outstanding juniors in the village...

A group of people went back to the village silently, and Li Zheng was also supported by his son back home.Just as I sat down for a cup of tea, I heard my daughter-in-law say that someone was looking for her.

"Grandpa Lizheng, Xiaoyu is here to trouble you again."

Seeing people smile three-pointedly, and Ye Yu's complexion is good now, and he is also confident, so it happened that he didn't recover for a while.

This is the girl from the Chuanxing family? ?
How could he remember that girl didn't seem like this?
Li Zheng couldn't tell what was wrong, he was still the same person, and the birthmark was still the same, but the feeling was very different.

"Grandpa Lizheng? Is it convenient for you right now?"

"Oh, it's convenient. Tell me what you want."

Ye Yu smiled, and moved closer with the bench in hand.

"Grandpa Lizheng, you must know that I have rented Baoshan Island, right?"

Seeing Lizheng nodded, she continued: "The island is rented out, but the uninhabited land on the island is deserted and overgrown with weeds all year round. My mother and I really can't finish it. So I would like to invite you to organize it. I hired Some people go to the island to clean up. Meals include lunch and one meal, and each person pays [-] Wen per day.

Now most of the men in the village are fishermen and go to sea every day.Probably all she could get were women or half-grown men and girls.These people are not as strong as middle-aged men, and Ye Yu thought to himself that he did not treat people badly at the price of twenty renminbi a day.

Sure enough, Lizheng regained his energy when he heard it, and even sat up straight.

"How many girls do you want to hire?"

Ye Yu stretched out two fingers and replied, "20 is the minimum, 34 is fine."

Baoshan Island is really too big. Except for the immovable woodland, beach and reef area, there are more than 800 mu of usable land. It is impossible to clear it out as soon as possible without hiring more people.

Li Zheng silently calculated in his heart that this job had to be accepted.Twenty Wen a day, many women in the village can do it.

"Girl, what do you want to plant by hiring so many people to clear out the land? Will you still hire people in the future?"

"Grandpa Lizheng, you are right on the point. Exactly, I cleared the land to grow flowers. Recently, I worshiped a master who taught me a craft of making rouge and gouache. I haven't fully learned it yet, but You can plant the flowers first. After I finish my studies, I can officially open the workshop. Whether it is planting flowers or opening a workshop, I will definitely hire people because of the large quantity. I won’t need so many at that time, so This time, I will observe carefully first.”

Rizheng's eyes brightened even more.

"You still want to run a workshop?!"

This is a very good thing for the villagers.How nice it is to be able to make money at your doorstep.

"Girl, you didn't fool the old man, did you?"

"Grandpa Lizheng see what you said, how dare I lie to you. Anyway, Baoshan Island is there, and you can go to the island to check anytime."

"Good good!"

Li Zheng said hello repeatedly, and the whole person was excited.

"Leave this to me, and I can arrange the people for you tomorrow. By the way, when do you want them to work?"

Ye Yu had already thought about it.

"Of course, the sooner the better, the morning after tomorrow."

Li Zheng readily agreed, and the more he thought about it, the happier he drank a cup of tea.After drinking tea, I saw that the little girl had no intention of leaving.

"Why, do you still need my help?"

Ye Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Grandpa Lizheng, I want to ask, are there many people in our village who are good at weaving bamboo and rattan?"

"This one……"

Lizheng thought about it carefully, and there were quite a lot.These days, every household has no spare money, and most of the guys in the family are tossing about by themselves.What kind of stools, chairs, blocks, baskets, baskets and dustpans, almost everyone knows these things.

"What do you ask this for, what do you want someone to do for you?"

"Grandpa Lizheng, I want to find someone to make bamboo and rattan flower pots. The ones are about this big. And make some smaller ones, this big."

Ye Yu drew the size, and then said: "You also know that there are always several typhoons a year along our coast. If I plant the flower seedlings in the ground, the typhoon will disappear once the typhoon passes. So I thought about planting them in flower pots. , it will be easy to move. I think many people’s flower pots are clay pots, which are too heavy. So I will find some skilled people to weave some flower pots out of bamboo strips or vines, and weave them more densely That's about it."

The things made of bamboo and rattan are good in quality and cheap, and they don’t weigh much when you pick them up. They are absolutely suitable for making flower pots.

Li Zheng really admired this girl's small head, and really thought about it.

"Then have you thought about how much you will charge for a flower pot?"

Ye Yu hesitated. Bamboo and vines are free things in the nearby mountains.However, it is troublesome to cut it back, and it is a bit troublesome to do it, so the price should not be too cheap.

"It's four pennies a piece. I'll charge you as much as you make. I'll let you know when it's about the same."

"Okay, no problem, I will notify you later."

Lizheng was full of fighting spirit again, and now his chest was no longer tight, and he was no longer out of breath. His whole body seemed to be ten years younger.

Make your former village proud, and come to the door for that one tael of silver.Now Houcun can earn an unknown amount of one or two dollars.

Oh no.

"Girl, didn't you only have a few hundred taels left over from the last time you sold your baby? Why is there such a big battle all of a sudden, and you have to hire someone to clean it up and collect things with money? It doesn't add up to thousands of taels? Where are you? money?"

Li Zheng asked directly, and Ye Yu didn't hide it.

"It's the money that Aniang took out a piece of dragon belly incense when she was digging out crabs on the island."

Dragon Belly! !

Li Zheng took a deep breath, not daring to think about how much it sold for, anyway, it was something more precious than golden bumps.

Since this is the case, he can rest assured.

"By the way, Grandpa Lizheng, there is one more thing."

Ye Yu smiled a little embarrassed, it was really troublesome for Grandpa Li Zheng.

"I want to build a house and a big warehouse on the island. I want to ask if there are any people in our village who can do this work?"

"Building a house? Why don't you go to find Lian Qiu? Haven't you always had a good relationship with her?"

Li Zheng was a little puzzled, and Ye Yu was even more confused.

"Looking for Aunt Qiu? Can Uncle Shitou build a house? Why haven't I heard her mention it?"

"Where is Shitou going to build a house? I'm talking about her natal brother. Didn't she tell you that her natal brother builds houses for people? I think Shitou met her when she went to Lianqiu Village to find her brother to build a house. Her, damn, you little girl, let me tell you what you are doing."

Li was sighing when he recalled the past, and he spoke again after a while: "So I said that if you want to build a house, you can just find Lianqiu directly. A group of elders in our village are not good at anything other than fishing. They can do a mud brick house, but you don't look like someone who can build a mud brick house."

Facing the wind and rain on an island is more terrifying than being on the shore. If it is a house made of mud bricks, it will be very uncomfortable, and you have to keep repairing it, which will delay things.

Ye Yu recovered from the shock, oh oh twice, and then bid farewell to Li Zheng and prepared to leave.When she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something, she smiled and closed her eyes and turned to talk to Li Zheng.

"Grandpa Lizheng, there are some small requirements for the selection of candidates. My uncle's family doesn't want it, Erya's family doesn't want it, Granny Huang doesn't want it..."

There was a lot of chatter, all of whom were "very impressive" to her, and she left after speaking.

Li Zheng smiled secretly, this girl is quite vengeful.
