C958 Luo Huo is not confused about big things (1/2)
Although acting tough and slapping the face was satisfying, but that wasn't life. Life was actually making tea out of chicken meat, soy sauce, and vinegar. It was a short term gossip. It was a loud noise made by a daughter-in-law who wasn't filial to her grandchild … To most people, life was actually just living.
From the time Luo Huo established his might in his hometown, he had already seen through everything. The fellow villagers, who had teamed up with his uncle and his second uncle's family and were mocking and bullying them, were now all smiling widely, wishing that they could tell him about the relationship they had when he was young.
The dilapidated courtyard of the Luo Family had suddenly become the focus of attention of the entire town. All of those close to the family that could be said to be close to the family had come running over. There were those who came to reminisce about old times, those who came to try to get to know each other, those who came to ask Luo Huo for help, and even those who simply wanted to beat the crap out of them … Even the matchmakers in Su Ning were stirred up, almost crushing the Luo family's gate.
The dozen or so personal guards who followed him were even more tired than if they had fought in Ryukyu. Every day, they would stand guard from morning till night, and this was not because of Luo Huo's display of presence, but rather the absence of such a group of soldiers. If not for their deterrence, the number of people who came to watch the show would increase by three times every day.
When he opened his eyes every day, he saw all sorts of unfamiliar faces floating before him. His ears were filled with all sorts of flattery and soft words of friendship. The room was filled with gifts sent by the people, and a whole room was filled with eggs.
At that moment, Luo Huo looked at the house full of eggs, and suddenly realised something. Just the dozens of villages near the Luo Jia Village, could already deliver a whole house full of eggs in a few days, wouldn't there be 2000 to 3000 of them?
If he opened the door wide and took them all, he estimated that there would be more than twenty to thirty thousand eggs. Then, he looked at the several hundred chickens and ducks in the backyard. Every day, they would fight, and the entire yard would be filled with feathers.
The countryside people are really, in ancient times, visiting gifts, a basket of eggs and a chicken duck is already the best gift, although the things but love ah ah ah.
Luo Huo looked at the land and sighed in his heart: ”Who said that the Chinese people were poor? Isn't that wealth? One egg was in his hometown, so he could buy two eggs for one coin. If he sent one egg to the capital, he would have to pay one coin per egg. If he sent one egg to the Special Administrative Region, he would have to pay two copper coins … If you have the ability to send it to the Forbidden City, ten taels of silver for an egg is called cheap.
”Perhaps this is what the Prime Minister said, the wealth that has been accumulated in the people. This wealth that should have been exchanged for money started to disappear in the people due to the imperial government's policy of restraining business …”
To put it bluntly, if Luo Huo's village people started their poultry and egg business here, then they would be able to link the two of them together and send them to a big city. Their wealth would definitely double, and the profits inside would not be any less than in the fields!
After that, when Luo Huo returned to the Tanggu, he specially assigned a butler to be in charge of this business. He did not expect that doing this would work, and from that day on, Luo Huo's homeland slowly became the base for the production, processing, and sale of very important poultry and eggs in the Northern Plains of China.
Luo Huo took a sip of his tea and said apologetically, ”I'm a little off topic again, don't blame me for my incoherent speech, but what I said was all very important, really very important …”
”From my fellow villagers, I saw a very important point. That is, the hearts of the people under the Qing Dynasty are actually not as stubborn as everyone thinks … ”People's hearts are always for profit. As long as you let them see the changes with your own eyes, and let them see the actual benefits with their own eyes, there will naturally be changes …”
”When I return home in my tattered and tattered clothes, everyone will treat me as the good-for-nothing third son of the Luo Family. When I put on the military officer uniform and even the county magistrate, I will once again become a noble person in the eyes of my fellow villagers. One can clearly see that change in the minds of others …”
