The Pentium Era - South to North

While Li Yong was talking, someone came in, took Zhang Chen's car keys and went out. Someone else came in and asked Li Yong, "Does your friend want to eat?"

Li Yong smiled and said, of course you have to eat, otherwise they will eat grass? Charge it to my account.

The man went out smiling.

Zhang Chen and the others felt that Li Yong's words were very impressive, so there was no need to say more to persuade him to go out and work with them.

Zhang Chen asked: "How is the situation here now?"

"One word, poor, two words, very poor, three words, extremely poor..."

"What about those four words?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Poor to despair." Li Yong said.

"Why?" Meng Ping asked.

"There are many people but little land, and there are no resources. The area you see nearby is the arable land in my entire township. The annual output, after paying the public grain, can be said to be insufficient for each family to eat for the whole year. For two or three months, I have to rely on substitute food.”

"What is alternative food?" Liu Ligan asked.

"To put it nicely, it's grains, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., but in fact there is no grain. I have to find a way to find it myself. I can eat whatever I can."

"The words "more people and less land" are enough to make people despair. This farmland is no better than others. No matter how hard you try to increase the yield, you won't get much more food." Meng Ping said.

"And there are a lot of people, and there are also a lot of illiterates among these people. I have also thought about it. It would be more cost-effective to plant tobacco, Chinese herbal medicine and other cash crops on such a small amount of land than growing food, but it is not possible. ." Li Yong sighed.

"If it's cost-effective, why can't we do it?" Zhang Chen didn't understand.

"If you plant other crops, it's impossible to say that if you plant them today, they will bear fruit tomorrow. So what do you do with the annual royal grain? You have to spend money to buy it. What do you do with your own rations? There is no surplus grain at home and no money. No, it's like locking you in an iron cage, you can't even turn around, why do you still want to give birth?"

Zhang Chen and the others nodded, understanding Li Yong's predicament.

Li Yong asked Zhang Chen and the others how they were doing now, and Zhang Chen and the others told Li Yong about their situation.

Li Yong looked at them and said, "It seems that there are really three big bosses. I heard earlier that Ganzi and Meng Ping met Qihang. They should understand that this is not the big boss's. Who would run to Macau?" How could it be possible to encounter Qihang.

Liu Ligan and Meng Ping smiled sheepishly, and Meng Ping said that we were also pulled over.

"You are not piglets. No one wants you if you are sold. Being dragged to Macau means that you are worth spending a lot of money on. Why don't you come and lure me? They are dragging you there and they want to treat you to food and play. You don't It’s valuable, who would spend that money?”

"Oh, that's right, Li Yong. I didn't expect that while staying in such a poor place, his brain was not damaged and he was very responsive." Liu Ligan shouted.

Li Yong smiled and said, "How can I be so bad? I have to use my brain every day while staying here. I have even thought about how to lead the villagers out to rob homes and houses, or to block the 320 National Highway to buy money for the road."

Everyone laughed.

Li Yong looked at Zhang Chen and the others and asked, "By the way, do you want to eat from Mayor Li's meal later?"

Meng Ping scolded: "When we get here, who will eat if I don't eat yours?"

"Then Chief Li's food is not that delicious." Li Yong smiled slyly.

"What do you want, cut our flesh?" Liu Ligan asked.

"I don't want the meat. I'm just plucking the hair from the goose. I'm having a headache and I'm so anxious that I want to jump off the building. Haha, God help me. You guys are here." Li Yong laughed.

"Li Yong, whatever happens is up to you." Zhang Chen said.

"The classroom in our rural middle school collapsed a few days ago. The students are having classes outdoors in such a cold weather. It's okay if it doesn't rain. But if it rains, I don't know what to do. The principal comes here every day Me, this is not me, I went to the county yesterday.

"In the county, isn't it the end of the year? We have to borrow money from other counties for the salaries of government officials this month. The county magistrate went out to borrow money and hasn't come back yet.

"The director of the Education Committee, who was forced by me, took out all the account books and showed me, and said to me, Township Chief Li, if you want it, I will give you fifty at most, and nothing more. Haha, I am disappointed today. And when I return, I didn’t expect to meet you three enemies. I don’t care, you help me solve this matter, otherwise I won’t have anything to eat.”

"How much?" Zhang Chen asked.

"Buy some materials and mobilize the students' parents to help with voluntary labor. It will cost more than 8,000."

"Fuck, you still have to cry for poverty after paying more than 8,000 yuan? Are you still Li Yong?" Liu Ligan cursed.

"Why not? It's the same moment. I earn two hundred yuan a month now. What should I do if I don't cry about being poor? Naqihang has helped me many times. I'm really embarrassed to open my mouth again. I originally thought about it if there was nothing I could do. , when writing a reply to Qihang, mention this matter, no, when you come, your pigs will be killed, stop talking so much nonsense, can you help me?"

Meng Ping opened his bag, gave 10,000 yuan to Li Yong, and said to him: "Don't talk so much nonsense, just take it."

"Of course I will accept it, haha, on behalf of those more than a hundred students, thank you Lao Meng." Li Yong said.

Someone called outside the door: "Chief Li, it's time to eat."

Li Yong stood up and said to them: "Let's go for a picnic."

The group of people walked outside the door and saw a table outside in the sun. There were four or five pots of vegetables on the table. Li Yong said, "They are all local vegetables. You can't expect to be treated like an inspection team."

Not far away, someone was repairing Zhang Chen's car. Li Yong called out: "Sanmaozi, come over and eat."

The man got out from under the car and shouted: "It's almost done. I'll go home and eat, Mayor Li."

Li Yong said yes, then I don’t care about you.

Other people in the village, holding bowls, squatted in a row under the corridor under the eaves, eating and basking in the sun. Li Yong shouted: "Come here, pick up some food, they are all my brothers, one of our own."

After hearing this, those people came over, picked up some food from the basins on their tables with a smile, and walked back.

"Chief Li, why are you so damn stingy? You pay 10,000 yuan for a table of meals and don't even treat us to drinks? Doesn't the inspection team enjoy this treatment?" Liu Ligan cursed.

"Haha, I forgot, I'm disrespectful."

Li Yong ran back to his room, and after a while he came out with a jar of wine and said to them: "This is really good stuff. It's sauce-flavored. It's no worse than Moutai."

Li Yong poured wine for them. Except for Xiao Wu, who didn't drink it, the four of them tasted it and all said it was good.

"Forced to raise, this wine can be sold for dozens of yuan." The second-rate guy shouted.

Liu Ligan asked: "Where did it come from?"

"The villagers brew it themselves," Li Yong said.

"Then I don't care. I will buy them all when I leave and let him set his own price." Liu Ligan said.

"Okay, in this place, you can see if there is anything else you can exchange for money, and take it all away. I can't do anything except the heads. I, Li Yong, will give you everything else."

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up, and he thought of an idea. He asked Li Yong, how much of this wine can you make in a year?

"How much can I drink? It's one or two hundred pounds."

"What if we collect all the wine in your town?" Zhang Chen asked.

"As you know in Guizhou, everyone likes to make wine. They would rather have no food than save food to make wine. For the whole township, ten thousand to twenty thousand jin is definitely enough."

"Well, Li Yong, didn't you say that it's not possible to rely on the fields? I think it is indeed not possible. If you want to get rich, you must rely on a lot of business."

Zhang Chen and Li Yong said: "I'm here to help design a package. You put the wine in this package. You don't dare to say anything. The three of us drink it ourselves and give it away. Just this wine, I will sell you 10,000 bottles a year." , I think there is no problem. As for the price, I want to set a mid-to-high price, fifty or sixty should be no problem."

"Yes, yes, it's okay, what Zhang Chen said is okay." Meng Ping said, "This is also unique to us. The wine is also rare and can be given away. This person has tried it and it tastes good. I can't buy it even if I want to. If you come and ask us for it, you can earn hundreds of thousands a year just from wine."

"Haha, great, now you will be responsible for our old Comrade Liu's wine."

Liu Ligan saw that Li Yong was still hesitating and scolded: "Li Yong, let it go quickly. Don't think that I don't know. Are you thinking that there is no start-up capital? Zhang Chen just helped design the packaging. This is Don’t you have any money to package the bottles?”

Li Yong chuckled and Meng Ping said:

"In this case, instead of ten thousand bottles, the three of us will buy five thousand bottles each, totaling fifteen thousand bottles. We will pay 50% of the down payment in advance. Li Yong, this is enough for you to mobilize every household. Let's make wine, just guarantee the quality to us, don't let us send it out to be embarrassed."

Li Yong laughed loudly and said, "That's okay. If not, I'll take a whip and beat them one by one."

"I have an idea." Liu Ligan said, "We will call this wine Li Xiangchang Wine. If the wine is not good, let the drinkers curse Li Xiangchang together."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Chen and Meng Ping both agreed, and the matter was settled.

While the people at the table were talking and laughing, they saw a very thin man walking in and walking five or six meters away from them. He was too embarrassed to come over again. He stood there and looked at Li Yong smiling. Li Yong shouted, Come here, Principal Geng.

Only then did Zhang Chen and the others realize that this person should be the principal of the rural middle school. They had a pretty good guess as to what he was doing.

Principal Geng came over, smiled and nodded to Zhang Chen and the others, then looked at Li Yong, who cursed:

"Principal Geng, what do you mean? You come to me either when I'm eating or when I'm going to bed. Are you trying to make me unable to eat or sleep well?"

"No, no, Mayor Li, you misunderstood. This is not another time. I have to go to class, and it's hard for you to find me." Principal Geng said with a smile.

"I went to the county yesterday. Deputy County Magistrate Chen said that the county magistrate went out to borrow wages and has not come back yet. He will discuss it with the county magistrate when he comes back. Director Qian showed me all the books of the Education Committee and there are still three thousand He said he could sponsor fifty," Li Yong said.

Principal Geng looked depressed and muttered: "It's like this again, but there are so many students..."

Li Yong waved his hand and stood up. He walked into his office. When he came back, he held the 10,000 yuan in his hand and handed it to Principal Geng. Principal Geng's eyes lit up and he asked: "Mr. Li, what's this?" money?"

Li Yong pointed at Meng Ping and said: "This money is sponsored by Boss Meng. You can use it to buy materials. By the way, with a lot of money, we can treat the parents who helped us to a meal, and treat the teachers as well." Meat, the accounts are clear, I will come and check."

"Okay, sure, Mayor Li, don't worry."

Principal Geng turned around as he spoke, bowed to Meng Ping, and told him thank you, Boss Meng!

Meng Ping quickly stood up and said that he didn't dare to take it seriously. It would be great if he could help with his little effort.
