Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things.

That’s why people say scholars are ruthless. They have already thought of the next steps before the business even starts.

Anyway, you won’t lose money either way.

In fact, they took it for granted. Zhao Er was not stupid. Why would he be willing to do something that would obviously be disadvantageous? It was naturally because his cavalry could no longer be sustained.

Horses are no different from other things. Cow dung can be used as fertilizer and can be used to plow the fields.

But what can horses do? Apart from being used as transport or as part of a horse team, they can only be used as cavalry.

They eat fine food, poop a lot, and their manure is acidic, which is not friendly to the land.

But the horse had already been bought, and Zhao Er was reluctant to sell it at a low price, so he had to think of a way out.

Wang Yousheng and the others didn't know about these things. They only knew that they must never offend the village chief in the future. If they were sold out by him, they would have to count the money for him.

Wangjiacun Primary School was successfully built before the autumn harvest.

The tables, chairs, benches and beds were all made by the villagers themselves. Although work points were calculated for them, the villagers were very enthusiastic. Who doesn’t have children?

Moreover, Lin Shaowen personally wrote a line of words on the teaching building of Wangjiacun Primary School - "Reading changes your destiny."

Not far from the brick factory, there were several brick huts and stables. These were provided by Wangjia Village as a place for the transport team to live.

Carts of red bricks were carried outside by horse-drawn carriages.

I have to say that Li Xinmin is really a talented person.

He not only sold bricks to the unit, but also sold bricks to other villages, delivering them to the door and compensating for any damage.

The surrounding villages suddenly became lively, and orders poured into the brick factory like snowflakes.

Village branch.

"Village chief, we don't have enough machines because we have too many orders." Wang Laoliu said with a frown.

"Tell the accountant to order another one from the steel mill and settle the bill at the end of the year." Lin Shaowen waved his hand.

"I've already told Director Lu, but he doesn't want to." Wang Yongnian said with a sad face, "He said that our brick factory is so popular that we need to pay off the debt of the previous machine first."

"Ask him if he has ever been owed money for goods..." Lin Shaowen said with a smile, "These days, the one who owes money is the boss. He dares to act tough in front of the creditor. Does he not want the money anymore?"

"This……"

You can hear a pin drop in the village branch.

Everyone stared at Lin Shaowen in amazement, sweat dripping down their cheeks.

"Scholars are so cruel." Wang Yousheng murmured.

"Yes, it's too cruel." Wang Chengyuan was also stunned. "I am also a scholar. Why is it that the village chief is still so upright even though he is acting like a rogue... I just feel ashamed."

"You are a worthless scholar."

Wang Yongnian and Wang Yousheng rolled their eyes at him at the same time.

You only have a junior high school diploma, and you dare to compare yourself with the village chief?

Who is he? He is a doctoral student.

"Call quickly." Lin Shaowen urged.

"Yes."

Wang Yongnian immediately began to communicate with the steel mill.

"Lin Shaowen, you are a beast."

"Tell Lin Shaowen that there is no room for negotiation unless the money for the previous machine is paid first."

Lu Youtie roared madly on the phone.

"Director Lu, our village chief said that if you are unwilling... then you just wait for the money for the new equipment, and we will slowly fight the lawsuit." Wang Yongnian said quietly.

Bang!

There was a sound of slamming the table from the other end of the phone.

For a long time.

"We will deliver the equipment in a week."

"But tell Lin Shaowen that if I don't get the money by the end of the year, I will hang myself in his house. I mean what I say."

……

Wang Yongnian listened to the busy tone on the phone and was full of admiration for Lin Shaowen.

Chapter 418 Autumn Harvest

Boom!

Ten large trucks drove into Wangjia Village, causing an immediate sensation.

The cart was full of cattle and sheep, bellowing loudly, and the stench coming from it could be smelled by most of the village.

Wang Daquan, who was covered in dust, was directing the people to unload the goods, and he would occasionally scold them to be gentle. These cattle and sheep were all half-grown calves, very delicate.

Wang Yousheng looked at the documents handed over by Wang Yongnian and immediately covered his chest.

If they lose money, they won’t be able to pay for it even if they sell their village.

Lin Shaowen was unmoved. He reached out and picked up a half-grown lamb, and either pinched its head or pulled its legs, having a lot of fun playing with it.

"Village chief, don't scare it."

Wang Daquan hurried over, snatched the lamb from his hands, and gently placed it on the ground.

"Look at how stingy you are." Lin Shaowen curled his lips.

Wang Daquan laughed awkwardly and did not answer. He just directed the ten villagers in the farm to drive the sheep to the brigade's sheepfold.

The farm has just begun construction and it will take at least a month to complete.

"Branch Secretary." Lin Shaowen shouted.

"Eh."

Wang Yousheng hurried to his side.

"All construction work has been stopped, including the brick factory." Lin Shaowen said softly, "Now organize people to prepare for the autumn harvest..."

"Village chief, there's no need to stop the work." Wang Yousheng said hurriedly, "The old women in our village can all work, so just let them continue working in the brick factory and on the construction site."

"Secretary, before the land was divided, we were still a collective economy." Lin Shaowen said seriously, "Whether it's a brick factory or a breeding farm... they get a higher salary than others, but that doesn't mean they can avoid the autumn harvest."

"After all, the village chief is wise."

"Who says it's not? This land belongs to the collective."

"If there are not enough people, it will be bad if the autumn harvest is delayed."

The villagers were talking about it, and Wang Yousheng couldn't help but blush.

He was indeed dazzled by the profits from the brick factory. The orders from the past two months alone would not be enough to make back the money that their village earned even if they dug the soil for two years.

"This is just the beginning. Life will get better and better." Lin Shaowen patted his shoulder and turned his head to Wang Yongnian and said, "Accountant Wang, please contact Secretary Zhao Er. We need to start storing fodder for the cattle and sheep to survive the winter. Ask Wang Daquan to take the convoy to collect it..."

"We have no money," Wang Yongnian said with a sad face. "We have already put the brick factory under pressure to support the cattle and sheep. Now there is not enough money in the public account to buy fodder."

"Is that so?" Lin Shaowen touched his chin and said, "Then bring the secretary with you. We can use the farm as collateral and buy on credit first."

"This……"

Wang Yongnian was dumbfounded.

The brick factory was just starting to pick up steam when it was suppressed.

The breeding farm hasn’t been established yet, but we’re using it as collateral to buy fodder on credit. If anything goes wrong, we’ll be doomed.

"Do as the village chief says." Wang Yousheng said solemnly, "If we want to develop, we can't limit ourselves to what we have now."

"Well."

Lin Shaowen looked at him strangely.

How come this old man suddenly got it?

"The village primary school has already started." Wang Yousheng said a little embarrassedly, "I also go there every day. Many educated youth admire you very much and say that you are very wise."

"Talk less with them, they have become stupid from reading too much." Lin Shaowen said with a sneer.

It is true that the educated youth had knowledge, but their ideas were simple and extremely extreme.

You can say good things about him today and bad things about him tomorrow. It’s better to ignore them.

Autumn harvest is a big event.

Almost the entire Wangjia Village was working in the fields, including men, women, young and old.

Even the doctors at the clinic and the teachers at the school were taken to the fields by Lin Shaowen, and of course, himself was no exception.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Lin Shaowen, who was wearing a straw hat, holding a sickle, and chatting and laughing with the villagers barefoot, and couldn't help but sigh.

She has been here for several months, but Lin Shaowen is very polite to her.

If we talk about things at night, there will definitely be a third person present. He will never be alone with her.

Qin Jingru and others also came several times, but they always left after staying for two days. After all, there were many people in the village branch and they had many gossips, so it was not good to stay for too long.

far away.

"Secretary, can we keep the village chief in the village?" someone asked.

"Hasn't he been here all the time?" Wang Yousheng frowned.

"That's not the case." Wang Yongnian continued, "Secretary, look, the village chief doesn't even have a house in the village, and his wife has no place to stay... It's hard to make up your mind like this."

"What do you mean?" Wang Yousheng asked in surprise.

"What we mean is, we still have land in our village, right next to the Yuanshui River... How about we build him a house?" Wang Chengyuan whispered, "As long as the house is here, even if the village chief is transferred away, he has taken root in our village and will not forget us."

This statement is very materialistic, but it also contains the truth.

Lin Shaowen's ability is obvious to all. Although the farm is not profitable yet, the brick factory is now very prosperous. The whole Changping knows the reputation of Wang's Brick Factory. The director of the state-owned brick factory went to Secretary Chen to complain that his bricks could not be sold.

"Should we discuss this matter with the village chief?" Wang Yousheng hesitated.

He really wanted to keep Lin Shaowen in the village, but he also knew very well that Lin Shaowen could not stay here.

"If we discuss it, he will definitely not agree." Wang Yongnian said helplessly, "The village chief is willing to spend money on others, but have you seen that he has his own special kitchen? Even when the village asked him to add a quilt, he refused and asked his wife to bring it from the city."

"That's right." Wang Yousheng pondered for a moment before taking a deep puff of his cigarette. "Repair it with bricks. Let's build a big yard for the village chief."

"Eh."

Wang Yongnian and others were immediately happy.

The autumn harvest lasted for half a month. This year the weather was good, so the harvest was quite abundant.

Wang Yousheng was in charge of the collection and distribution of public grain, while Lin Shaowen was receiving guests.

meeting room.

"Shao Wen, all schools are closed now." Qin Jianghe said with a bitter face.

"I received the message. How are you doing with your studies now?" Lin Shaowen said in a deep voice.

"I did learn a few things, but..." Qin Jianghe hesitated to speak.

"We are brothers, why are you hesitating when talking to me?" Lin Shaowen said with a smile.

"But our village has no money in its account right now, and we need to buy medicinal seeds..." Qin Jianghe said with a red face.

"Good fellow, so you are here to extort money?" Lin Shaowen laughed loudly and shouted at the top of his voice, "Accountant, come here..."

"coming."

Wang Yongnian immediately left Wang Yousheng behind and ran to his side.

"Do we still have money in our account?" Lin Shaowen asked.

"The brick factory did make some profit, but I kept it to pay the steel mill at the end of the year..."

What Wang Yongnian said was very conservative. In fact, after deducting the cost of equipment, there were still several thousand yuan in the account.

He knew that Qin Jianghe was Lin Shaowen's brother-in-law, and he also knew that Lin Shaowen would not put personal interests above public interest, but he subconsciously took precautions.
