Chapter 61 Raising chickens to pay off debts

In the past two years, Lousang Village and Dongcun had fought several times, and the reason for these fights was the competition for the number of personnel to protect Cai Yong.

Cai Yong was born in Chenliu, which is located in the Central Plains. Speaking of which, Cai Yong actually rarely lived in his hometown before being tormented by Liu Hong.

It was not simply because he was an official that he settled in Luoyang, but Chenliu and its surroundings had prosperous aristocratic families, and Cai Yong was not fond of fighting. After he became famous, if he settled in his hometown, he would inevitably get into trouble with the local aristocratic families.

Taking care of the village is a responsibility for aristocratic families, and it is also a right.

Cai Yong was not in Chenliu, but his mother was the daughter of the Yuan family of Chen County. The Yuan family of Runan that people in later generations were more familiar with was probably separated from the Yuan family of Chen County. Before Cai Yong was moved by Liu Hong, his uncle

This is the Situ of the Han Dynasty.

Cai Yong is not in his hometown, so the local aristocratic family will naturally take special care of the Cai clan, and the things involved are no different than if Cai Yong were alive.

At the same time, everyone in the hometown will remember Cai Yong's reputation, make friends with him, and respect him.

But if Cai Yong settled in his hometown, then such a great scholar with a growing reputation stepping into Chenliu would be like muddying a pool of clear water for the family that had already taken root in Chenliu.

Cai Yong did not like to fight at all, and the Yuan family in Chen County was also low-key. There was nothing going on in his hometown, so Cai Yong usually did not live there for a long time.

To put it in words that are easier for everyone to understand, if Cai Yong established a family in Chenliu, there would definitely be a replacement of aristocratic families and poor families in Chenliu territory, or there would be a dependence and integration between aristocratic families, and there would definitely be a victory or defeat.

Many poor families are hostile to aristocratic families, and there is nothing noble to say about it.

Because, before those aristocratic families in their hometown gained a foothold, those poor families were the local aristocratic families.

Haha, is it very realistic? Everything is not so confusing at all, in fact it is all clear.

Nowadays, Cai Yong is innocent and light-hearted. After settling in Lousang, there is a Shunyin Lu family in the nearest area. The one who plays the leading role now is Lu Zhi.

And Lu Zhi is a being who doesn't do much in running his own family, so he is probably the so-called one-hearted man. The Lu family is not prosperous, and Cai Yong's presence here will not cause any nasties.

At the beginning, Cai Yong was pushed out by a group of people, and his whole family was exiled. It even affected his uncle who became Situ.

Yuan Pang was dismissed as Situ and became King Wu. At that time, Cai Yong's wife was seriously ill.

The Yuan family in Chen County did not like Cai Yong's troubles, and Cai Yong's friends were helpless about the exile, so they directly gave Cai Yong a concubine in Shuofang and arranged servants. It was regarded as a family exile, and Cai Yong's wife was expelled.

It has to be said that only people with a high reputation like Cai Yong dare to do this kind of showy operation.

However, Cai Yong's wife failed to survive the illness and passed away a year ago. After all the hardships, Cai Yong was exhausted both mentally and physically, and his disappointment towards the Han Dynasty was beyond words.

After Cai Yong was exonerated, Shuofang's concubine had retired, and she could go back to her home.

At this point, Cai Yong was disliked by the Yuan family of Chen County and his family was almost ruined. Even after he settled down in Lousang, he started his "attracting bees and butterflies".

Well, that means something similar, right?

Anyway, because of him, Lou Sang and Dongcun fought up and down for several times, just to get more villagers to join Cai Yong.

Village warriors were formed in the village to defend the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty, and these warriors were named as tribes. Hundreds of people left their homes and voluntarily fell into the arms of Cai Yong.

Oral labor service, how about you go to Cai Yong to register it?

The oral tax is 200 per person for the first year, and if you are exempt from labor service, you have to pay 300. This alone will save tens of thousands of money in one year.

If a military tax is imposed, do you want the Confucian tribe to perform military service? Come, come and conscript us and see. Cao Tong of Zhuo County, let me ask you, should I protect the Confucian when he is living in the countryside?

Just ask, does defending the great scholar count as military service?

Yes, this time it’s not just about money, it’s also about your life.

In the end, the two villages played several games, and Cai Yong really couldn't stand it. Lou Sang was 80, and Dongcun was 20. The quota for the 'Cai Yong Fan Club' was finally determined.

Cai Yong's family background is a bit weak after all. No matter how much he has, he can't survive.

Saving money is a matter of course, but the villagers will not regard Cai Yong as a fish in water.

At this point, there are hundreds of people doing chores in the family. During shifts, there will be four or five young people wandering around Liu Cang's house with big knives in their hands to prevent them from being late at night.

And Liu Cang has officially been promoted from the original Liu Daheng to Mr. Liu. Anyone who dares to yell again will have their legs broken, as the clan elder said.

With Xiangyong, you can make weapons. By making and repairing weapons, you can attract blacksmiths to the village. When the blacksmiths arrive, you can attract some forging businesses from all over the country. Once the reputation spreads, some merchants will choose to work in the building.

Stop and stay overnight in Sangcun.

When merchants arrived, a series of changes in Lousang Village became more eye-catching. Sideline businesses in Lousang Village immediately developed. For more than two years, nearby villages would also gather in Lousang to sell and purchase small items during the slack season.

The changes that a great Confucian can bring to a place are truly incredible. Of course, this is under the condition that the Emperor's sword cannot cut Zhuoxian County for the time being.

"Fifth uncle! Fifth uncle~! Weng Cai wants to see you for something." After putting on his clothes, Liu Cang had gone under the waterfall to practice his halberd. He was sitting by the pool thinking about the past two years when a six or seven-year-old boy shouted

Then he emerged from the vegetation beside the mountain road.

Wearing a linen jacket and wide-crotch trousers, and wearing straw sandals that were probably sold by Liu Bei on his feet, he was dressed like a country boy, which already reflects the good conditions of his family.

The little boy rushed to Liu Cang's side. After saying a word, he grabbed the iron halberd that Liu Cang had thrown aside.

"Don't pull, my little arms and legs. We can play with stone locks for another two years." He grabbed the boy's neck with his upper hand, lifted him to the side, lightly kicked him on the butt, and then picked up the iron halberd and said.

The boys are very naughty, and calling people is secondary. The main thing is probably to touch the iron halberd. Don't be too polite to them, otherwise they will be turned upside down and unable to be cured.

"Don't kick, do you believe I can lift it up?" The boy was not angry after being kicked by Liu Cang. He turned his face and questioned Liu Cang, his eyes full of provocation and bright eyes.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Cang curled his lips and kneaded his face with his hands, causing the boy to whine in pain, little brat, believe it or not, I won’t let you mention it.

"Let's go, don't dig around in the haystacks. We haven't swept away the worms in two months." Liu Cang let go of the boy, holding the iron halberd and planning to return to the village. The boy made a face at Liu Cang's back, turned around and got in.

Among the grass.

"You are a child seeking death." Liu Cang shook his head.

It's better to let Jin Zi walk more often in Dongshan these days. There are vicious dogs in Dongshan, and strangers are not allowed to approach them casually. Several children take turns herding sheep and cattle here. They crawl around everywhere and don't get bitten by snakes again.

The stone road in the mountains was built by Liu Cang in a year. It is lined with locust trees and elm trees, and some fruit trees are either seedlings or dead.

These fruit trees were planted randomly by Liu Cang after he found some fruit seedlings at the foot of the mountain in the past two years. There was no one to take care of them. When they were dead, they were just firewood, and when they were alive, they were wild.

Liu Cang does not test the high yield of what he plants, but that is not his specialty. He only tests the maximum resistance and endurance, and strives to achieve the best of wild planting.

There are lush weeds, and yaks and goats are good at mountain roads. The cattle and sheep roam all over the mountain, and they will change places to graze every once in a while, saving the old nose the energy of feeding.

A year ago, Liu Cang accidentally discovered that the "Euphorbia Technique" that was almost eaten by insects was quite effective in strengthening the body. He spent more time practicing martial arts and less time preparing fodder for cattle and sheep.

, now that someone has taken up the work, Liu Cang's martial arts has grown significantly.

Going down the mountain along the road, a relatively gentle slope begins to appear near the foot of the mountain. Looking around, there are chicken coops and chicken coops, and the mountainside is full of chickens pacing and foraging for food.

This piece of nearly 2,000 chickens can bring Liu Cang an income of 40,000 yuan this year, and he can harvest a lot of spiritual essence. After selling it, he can repay Zhang Fei's money.

Well, to pay back Zhang Fei's money, Zhang Mo is dead.

Last year, Zhang Mo went to Yanmen to send conscripts, and he was catching up with a group of Xianbei people who broke through the border and joined the war temporarily. As a result, they died in the chaos.

Zhang Fei, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, became the head of the family. With his brutality, he actually took control of the family's industry within a year and gained a lot of prestige in the county.

Liu Cang didn't like the feeling of owing money. Although Zhang Fei said he didn't need to pay it back, he said earlier that it was a loan, so he had to pay it back. Moreover, Zhang Mo had just left, so Liu Cang would really feel awkward if he didn't pay it back.

These two years include cattle and sheep. As long as they are raised long enough to absorb the spiritual essence, they will be raised for more than a year at most and then sold. After the sale, they will buy calves and lambs and make the difference to pay back the money.

All the spiritual marrow collected has been kept by Liu Cang, and soon one more batch will be processed, all foreign debts will be wiped out, and high-quality cultivation can begin.

In addition to the relatively peaceful domestic chickens, a group of people closer to the foot of the mountain were tying up the golden pheasants that were restrained by fighting chickens in a shed.

These golden pheasants are more expensive than domestic chickens. Originally, Liu Cang collected the chicks and wanted to use them to replace domestic chickens. However, these chickens were wild and could fly far away.

From time to time, flocks of chickens flew down the mountain to harm the villagers. The fighting chickens could not be guarded, and the gold chased one to death. No, Liu Cang slaughtered some of them and dried them, and prepared to sell the rest.

As for those who caught the chickens, they should be considered members of the "Cai Yong Fan Club" in name, but Cai Yong had no need for them, so they became people who worked in shifts to help Liu Cang chase chickens and pick eggs.

These people worked hard, and Liu Cang had no shame in using them.
