Space takes me to ancient times

Chapter 153
There are old and young in the crowd, looking at this side with blank eyes.The blue-gray dusty clothes were covered with patches, which were sewn and patched and patched one after another. It really felt like three years of sewing and patching when it was far away.Qu You frowned subconsciously, a feeling of sourness slipped through her heart.

"Which one is the village chief?" Qu You asked.

"Hey, what kind of village chief is there? It's good for people to live." Zhao Yushan waved his hand, his body full of grief.

That's right, when people are forced to a certain level, everything is outside the body.Qu You nodded, expressing understanding.

"Uncle Tian is not here?" Qu You searched.

"Old stubborn fell down and can't get up now." Zhao Yushan sighed.

Well, it seems that the injury should have been serious at that time.Qu You didn't speak, thinking about going to visit after a while.

"My surname is Qu, and I'm from the Qu family in Qinghe Village. Uncle Zhao should have explained my reason for coming here. I plan to..." Qu You stood in front of the people and spoke softly and slowly.

The brisk voice slowly flowed into the villagers' hearts like a clear spring, making the originally numb villagers raise their heads gradually.

"You said you want to develop Hedong Village." A thin, yellow-faced aunt with a hoarse voice raised her head.

"Yes." Qu You nodded.

"We are all old and weak women and children. We have no strength to restrain chickens. How useful can we be." Another gray-haired uncle laughed at himself.

"I will open a philanthropic hall in Hedong Village, but let's talk about the ugly things first, our Qu family has never kept useless people. If you say, it is impossible for everyone to want me to raise them for nothing, but for you, I I have my own arrangements." Qu You smiled reassuringly at everyone.

"As I said before, I plan to buy the land in Hedong Village. If you want to sell it, you can go home and get the title deed. I will give eight taels of silver for the cultivated land, and only five taels for the wasteland."

"Really, do you really want to buy it?" Someone asked in disbelief.

"Of course, hurry up if you want to sell."

As soon as Qu You finished speaking, the originally dull and sluggish villagers of Hedong turned around and went back to get the land deed as if they had been raped.In less than a quarter of an hour, the villagers came back in twos and threes, each with one or more title deeds in their hands.

Qu You searched back and forth but couldn't find any tables, chairs and benches. Zhao Yushan came back when he was in trouble, "Uncle Zhao, please help me find a table."

"Hey, hey, no problem." After Zhao Yushan nodded in agreement, he and Dongzi went to the deserted room next to them and moved out a table and a few chairs.

Huanshan and Lingyou wiped down the tables and chairs, and Qu You took the opportunity to sit down.

"Folks, don't worry, line up." Lingyou stepped forward to organize the formation.

After the team was lined up, Dongzi was the first to accept Zhao Yushan's land deed. The old Zhao family had a total of three acres of land. Although most of the land was sandy, it was cultivated land, so Qu You paid Uncle Zhao the land at the price of ten taels per mu. billed.

"Next." Qu You yelled without raising his head while fiddling with the abacus he carried with him.

"I, I, it's my turn." The aunt in gray coarse cloth pushed Zhao Yushan in front of her.

Holding 30 taels of silver in his hand, Zhao Yushan stood on the spot with dull eyes, when he was pushed by someone, he almost staggered and fell to the ground.Really, this is true, looking at the money in his hand, Zhao Yushan's eyes suddenly became moist, he has been poor for most of his life, and suddenly he has money, why does it feel so unreal.Zhao Yushan suddenly squatted on the ground and burst into tears.

The crying seemed contagious, and the eyes of the villagers who got the money were red, and big and big teardrops fell on the ground, making countless small holes.

Hey... Qu You sighed and got up.

"Everyone, uncles and aunts, I plan to grow vegetables in Hedong Village in the future. Anyone who wants to participate in planting can go and sign up." Anyway, tenant farmers must be hired, so let these villagers have a way out.

"You mean growing vegetables?" Zhao Yushan wiped away tears and stood up.

"Yes." Qu You nodded.

"This sandy soil can grow vegetables. I, old Zhao, have lived half my life, but I have never heard of it." Zhao Yushan didn't believe it.

"That's because the planting method is wrong. With my method, every family can be well-off within a year." Qu You didn't elaborate, just smiled mysteriously.

"You are the boss, and I, old Zhao, will follow your instructions on what to do." Zhao Yushan took the lead and patted his chest to assure.

When the villagers heard Qu You's words, they quickly approached the table as if they saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.The signing process went smoothly, and there were almost no disagreements. Everyone came up and pressed their fingerprints, and the contract came into effect.

After setting up the villagers here, Zhao Yushan led Qu You and others to Uncle Tian's residence.A few people walked with one deep foot and one shallow foot, and the more they walked, the more desolate they were.

"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Tian lives alone?" Dongzi asked puzzled.

"Well, I was alone when I came to Hedong." Zhao Yushan nodded.

Coming to Hedong Village, isn't Uncle Tian a native of Hedong?Qu You looked at Zhao Yushan in surprise, although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

"No, that happened more than 20 years ago, back then..." Everyone said as they walked, and soon they arrived outside Uncle Tian's thatched cottage.

Looking at the thatched hut with yellow mud and straw in front of him, Qu You couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He was really poor, comparable to a national-level poverty-stricken county.

"Old Stubborn Head, we're coming in." Squeaky, Zhao Yushan pushed the door open and walked in with a few people.

"Ahem, old Zhao is here." Uncle Tian's voice sounded in the room.

"You old stubborn, you just like to torment yourself." Zhao Yushan sighed, and went to help Uncle Tian sit up.

"Who did you bring here?" Uncle Tian smiled indifferently, and looked behind Zhao Yushan with his head.

"Your savior." Zhao Yushan dodged, revealing Qu You and the others behind him.

Is it them?Uncle Tian's eyes shrank, his expression a little unnatural.

"Uncle Tian, ​​this is our young lady, the owner of the house of gold and jade, Miss Qu You from the Qu Family of Qinghe Village." Dongzi stepped forward and formally introduced Qu You to Uncle Tian.

"You are the female head of Qinghe Village?" Uncle Tian asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Qu You from Qinghe Village." Qu You took a step forward.

The Qu family members in Qinghe Village, Uncle Tian lowered his eyes and fell silent.

"Old Zhao, you go to the kitchen to boil some water, we can't neglect the guests." Uncle Tian suddenly thought of a reason and dismissed Zhao Yushan.

"Dongzi, you go over and help Uncle Zhao gather some firewood." Qu You heard the sound and understood, and also sent Dongzi and the others away in seconds.

"Miss, I'll stay." After Dongzi and Dairou went out, Huanshan leaned over.

"Okay." Qu You nodded.

After the idlers left the stage, Uncle Tian lifted the quilt and sat down at the table.

"The soil in Hedong Village is not suitable for growing rice." Uncle Tian handed the good tea to Qu You.

"I know." Qu You raised her legs and sat across the table.

"However, it is very suitable for growing vegetables." Uncle Tian lowered his head, a bright light flashed in his eyes.

"I know."

Knowing this, Uncle Tian looked up in surprise.

"I watched it when I came here." Qu You pursed his lips and smiled, and picked up the teacup.

Uncle Tian: "..."

"Just now, I bought the whole village." Qu You took a sip of tea and opened her mouth lightly.

"What did you say, you said it once." Uncle Tian stood up in surprise, got up too violently, and fell back again.

"I said, I bought the land in the whole village." Qu You looked into Uncle Tian's eyes and repeated every word seriously.

"Okay, so courageous, the younger generation is formidable." Uncle Tian laughed so hard that tears came out of his laughter.

Huanshan looked at Uncle Tian's appearance, and her whole body suddenly became alert.She moved quietly, and secretly stood in front of Qu You, fearing that Uncle Tian would collapse suddenly.

"God's will, God's will." Uncle Tian shook his head and walked slowly to the window.

Uh, it's the practice of the ancients, why do these scholars like to go to the window when they have nothing to do?A flock of crows flew over Qu You's head.

"I want to know who you are." Not wanting to waste time, Qu You asked straight to the point.

"Bai Li Zi Ye."

Baili Ziye, I don't know.

"Baili Ziye..." Just when Qu You felt very embarrassed, Huan Shan suddenly screamed out.

"Why, have you heard of the old man?" Baili Ziye turned around and asked in confusion.

"I have heard." Huan Shan nodded.

"Where did you hear it?" Qu You turned his head curiously.

"Baili Ziye, a great farmer in the Chu State, good at agriculture, never married all his life, wandering among the people all year round, eating and living with tenants in the countryside, experiencing the hardships of the people. He is not afraid of power, difficulties, and dangers. He firmly believes that man will conquer nature. After Huanshan finished speaking, she bowed respectfully to Baili Ziye.

Da Sinong.Qu You rubbed his chin and smiled wickedly.

After talking, Baili Ziye sat down and talked with Qu You openly and honestly, the two of them talked more and more happily, and at the end of the chat, the old and the young were like seeing each other for too long.By the time Zhao Yushan came over after boiling the water, Baili Ziye had been completely persuaded by Qu You, and agreed to go back to Qinghe Village with her to develop agriculture together.

"Dongzi comes in and packs up Mr.'s things, let's go over there." Qu You turned around and ordered.

Sir, where is this? Isn't this Uncle Tian in the room?Dongzi touched his head and entered the room suspiciously.

"Please, brother." Baili Ziye nodded gratefully.

The house is not big, and there are few decent things.Dongzi and Dairou simply cleaned up, and only packed the usable ones.After bidding farewell to Zhao Yushan, several people boarded a carriage and drove towards Qinghe Village.

Along the way, the old and the young discussed the issue of sandy land planting in Hedong Village. In the end, Qu You came up with the exact data, which convinced Baili Ziye.

After returning to Qinghe Village, Qu You introduced Baili Ziye to everyone, and secretly told his family members about his identity.With Baili Ziye, the big farmer, all land issues were easily solved.Qu You seemed to have gained confidence, and began to develop agriculture in a big way.

"Second Uncle, I bought the land in Hedong Village in front, and you and Mr. Baili will go to plant vegetables in a few days." During dinner, Qu You announced the decision in public.

"What did you say, you bought the land in Hedong Village?" Qu Qiusheng exclaimed.

"Yeah, what's the matter?"

"The land there can't be planted at all. The villagers are going to starve to death. How dare you go and buy land." Qu Erbo looked at Qu You in confusion, annoyed that he hadn't told her about the situation in the nearby village earlier.

"Others can't grow it, but it doesn't mean I can't grow it." Qu You smiled confidently.

"There are sandy lands in a radius of a hundred miles, how to grow rice." Qu Erbo put down the bowl and chopsticks melancholy, his heart was extremely blocked.

"Who said I'm going to grow rice." Qu You also put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"If you don't grow rice, what will you grow? Isn't it a waste?" Grandpa Qu interjected suspiciously.

"We grow vegetables, in-season and out-of-season. In the future, even in winter, we can eat summer vegetables at home." Qu You said the plan confidently.

Then can you grow out-of-season vegetables in the sandy land?As soon as Qu You finished speaking, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"If you plant out-of-season vegetables." Baili Ziye looked at Qu You with burning eyes, and his heart was ready to move like ten thousand ants eating together.

"Mr. Baili, don't worry. Our top priority now is to build a charity hall in Hedong Village. In the future, all orphans, widows, old people who have lost their parents, and children who have been abandoned can enter the charity hall unconditionally." Qu You folded his hands, as if giving a report, and told everyone the decision in his heart.

Gai Shantang, why did this go from farming to building a house?Everyone looked at each other in puzzlement, but no one answered.

"Miss Qu, thank you Baili Ziye for leading the people in Hedong." Baili Ziye stood up, flicked his sleeves with both hands, and bowed respectfully to Qu You.

"Mr. Baili, Qu You is ashamed." Qu You hurriedly got up and turned sideways to avoid it.

"Thinking of me, Baili Ziye, I want to support the people all my life, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, but the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes..." Baili Ziye drank a glass of tree fruit wine dejectedly.

"I'd like to offer a toast to Mr. Qu You." Qu You smiled faintly, holding the cup as a signal.

Everyone ate and talked.During this meal, Baili Ziye drank half a jar of tree fruit wine. After the meal, the matter of planting vegetables in Hedong Village was also decided.

After Qu You sent someone to send Mr. Baili to Houzhai's residence, he went back to his room.

"Chu Yu, what are you doing?" Qu You lay on the bed and closed her eyes after thinking about it.

Capital City, Luoning, Fourth Prince's Mansion
"How about it, did you succeed?" Chu Xian walked into the hall with a happy face.

"No." Lin Fang shook his head.

"Trash." Chu Xian flicked his sleeves and sat down on the main house.

"My lord, Chu Yu's defense is tight, it's not easy for us to attack." Lin Fang stepped forward and tried to explain.

"This king is giving you a chance, you must seize it. If you don't succeed, then don't blame this king for not being sympathetic." Chu Xian raised his hand to pinch Lin Fang's chin, and there was a flash of viciousness in his eyes. .

"My daughter understands." Lin Fang endured the pain and nodded with difficulty.

"Hmph." Chu Xian threw Lin Fang away vigorously, snorted coldly, turned and paced away.

Lin Fang raised his hand and looked at the scratched palm, his heart was icy cold, and he hated Chu Yu even more.

Chu Yu has no time to care about who hates him and who loves him. Recently, he has been busy pulling out Chu Ming and Chu Xian's hidden stakes, and he has been extremely busy.

"Master, Wei He has pulled out the hidden stake in Sihai Gambling House. At present, there is only one hidden spot left by the fourth prince in Beijing that has not been exposed." Wen Ziyin approached Chu Yu and reported in a low voice.

One place left?Chu Yu turned her head and stared at Wen Ziyin with uneasy eyes for a moment.

"Subordinates are investigating." Wen Ziyin quickly lowered his head.

"Investigate." Chu Yu sneered.

"Subordinate, it takes time." Wen Zi swallowed silently, and opened his mouth dryly.

"In the next year, the king hopes to see the princess." Chu Yu pursed his lips and smiled coldly.

"Yes, this subordinate must clean up all the hidden troubles." Wen Ziyin shuddered and turned to leave.

Chu Ming, Chu Xian, don't force me to do anything.Chu Yu fiddled with the Tiger Talisman Token in his hand, reined in the reins and ran out of the city.That night, Chu Yu and the others carried out a carpet search and completely pulled out the hidden stakes of the eldest prince and the fourth prince in Luoning.

With things in her mind, Qu You didn't sleep well that night.In the early morning of the next day, she sent someone to find Foreman Zhu to get rid of the matter of the Qu Family Shantang.Because he was an old friend, as soon as the Qu family called Foreman Zhu, he rushed over without any delay.

"Miss Qu, are you alive again?" Zhu Laosan walked into the hall with a smile on his face.

"You didn't delay Brother Zhu's work, did you?" Seeing Zhu Laosan's dusty appearance, Qu You felt a little embarrassed.

"No delay, no delay." Zhu Laosan waved his hand.

"Okay, Brother Zhu, take a look at this blueprint. If there is no problem, Hedong Village will build it according to this blueprint." Qu You stretched out his hand and handed over the blueprint.

Hedong Village, is that a poor place?Zhu Laosan raised his head and looked at Qu You differently, not understanding how the house was built there.

"This, does this cover Hedong Village?" Unable to bear it, Zhu Laosan asked.

"Yes, I want to build a charity hall in Hedong Village to take in some poor lonely old people and homeless children." Qu You nodded and explained a little.

Take in orphans, widows, and homeless children.Zhu Laosan gave Qu You a thumbs up, "Miss Qu, I, Zhu Laosan, obey you."

"Brother Zhu is polite, let's look at the drawings first."

Zhu Laosan endured the emotion in his heart, lowered his head and looked at it seriously.

Qujia Shantang, covering an area of ​​[-] square meters, is designed in the shape of a well, surrounded by three-storey small buildings, and built by mountains and rivers.As Zhu Laosan looked at it, he couldn't help admiring, this Miss Qu really made a big deal, it seems that she really takes this matter seriously.

"No problem, we can start work tomorrow." Zhu Laosan made a final decision and settled the matter.

"I hope that it will be completely in accordance with the drawings, money will be no problem, and there will be no flaws in the project." Qu You said lazily, leaning back in the chair.

"Miss Qu and Lao Zhu are still worried about doing things. There are so many projects in your family, which of my Lao Zhu will let you down." Zhu Laosan patted his chest as a promise.

"That's good, the matter is settled like this." Qu You made a final decision.

After the matter was discussed, Zhu Laosan took the blueprint and left.

The project took two months. Years ago, the Qujia Shantang in Yanlai County was finally officially unveiled under the eyes of everyone.
