There is Room For the First Wife

Chapter 151: not allowed to take concubines

Remember for a second【】

Everyone in the east bedroom looked at Lu Jiao in surprise, and then at Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin said slowly, "Don't worry, just listen to Lu Jiao and you."

The village chief, the patriarch, and the others looked at Lu Jiao, and Lu Jiao said warmly, "You only know that leeches **** human blood, which is not a good thing, but you don't know that leeches have very high medicinal value. Relieving pain, clearing heat and detoxifying, it can not only cure women's diseases, but also stagnation in the brain, such as strokes, etc., leeches are used."

"At present, leeches are not used in many medicines, because they can't receive such a large amount. Because of the large gap of leeches, the current acquisition value is very expensive. I guess fresh leeches are at least 500 yuan per pound."

"One mu of land can produce about 200 catties of leeches. However, if the leeches are not well maintained, the mortality rate is very high. We calculate the minimum number of 100 catties, and the leeches on one mu of land can be about fifty taels of silver."

"Little fish, shrimps and snails are used to feed leeches, which can be salvaged from various rivers by each household. Some raw blood is used, which can be bought from pig slaughtering places. It is only used once a week, so it costs a lot of money. Not much money."

"So this matter is a matter of labor from beginning to end. The most important thing in our Xiejia Village is labor."

Lu Jiao stopped talking here, but the village chief and the patriarch were shocked by her words.

One acre of land earns fifty taels of silver. God, this figure is too scary. How much food does fifty taels buy?

This is still calculated according to the minimum guaranteed number. If the mortality rate is lower, then seventy or eighty taels are possible.

The village chief and the patriarch got up excitedly and paced around the room.

After a while, the village chief, the patriarch and others calmed down and looked at Lu Jiao and said.

"Who do we raise?"

Lu Jiao said with a smile, "The owner of Baohetang is going to open a pharmaceutical workshop to buy a large amount of various medicinal materials. They must have collected leeches. Before the village chief raises leeches, he can sign a contract with him, and then come back with some deposit."

As soon as Lu Jiao said that, the village chief and the patriarch were moved, and several people turned to look at Xie Yunjin and said, "Yunjin, what do you think?"

Xie Yunjin nodded slightly and said: "I think it is feasible, this is a good opportunity, raising leeches is not an easy task, the villagers have learned this craft, the future generations will not be poor, and when they are rich, the family will send their children to the family. go to school."

"If I go out of Xiejia Village in the future, I will build a clan school in Xiejia Village. In the future, more people from my Xiejia Village will go out."

Xie Yunjin said that the village chief, the patriarch and others were excited. They all have descendants in their family, and who would not want their children to leave Xiejia Village.

"Since Yun Jin said that it is feasible, I will immediately convene a meeting with the people of Xiejia Village to discuss this matter."

After the village chief finished speaking, the patriarch suddenly turned around to look at Xie Yunjin and said, "Is it still the same as before?"

Xie Yunjin turned to look at Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao originally planned to teach women from various households, so that women could have a skill and not be angry with men.

In this era, men become bad when they are rich, and the men in Xiejia Village are no exception. If they are rich and take a concubine back, won't the women in the family be angry.

Her original intention was to help the people of Xiejia Village get rich, not to make women angry.

However, Lu Jiao seemed to have an idea when she saw what the patriarch meant.

She looked at the patriarch and asked, "What does the patriarch think?"

The patriarch said with a slightly gloomy gaze: "I want to use this craft of raising leeches as the craft of the people surnamed Xie, but I have this idea, but I don't know how to safely arrange this?"

Although the patriarch is a senior in the clan, he is only from the countryside, and his vision is not high, so although he has such an idea in his mind, he does not know how to properly arrange this matter.

If this matter is not well arranged, Xiejia Village will split, and even more trouble.

In the future, the harmony in the village will no longer exist. This is also what he and Xie Fugui made all villagers recognize herbal medicine.

Xie Yunjin listened to the patriarch's words and turned to look at Lu Jiao. This was Lu Jiao's suggestion, so he wanted to hear what she meant.

Lu Jiao thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes, but the village chief and the patriarch must agree to three conditions."

"First, the money earned from raising leeches needs to be handed over to the female family members of the family. This is to prevent men from getting rich and going bad."

As soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, several men in the room all looked at Lu Jiao.

Xie Yunjin also looked at Lu Jiao, and he also said something mysteriously: "I won't get bad even if I have money."

Lu Jiao looked at him speechlessly, it had nothing to do with her whether he changed or not.

In the room, the village chief, the patriarch, and others were surprised when they heard Lu Jiao's words, but they were very family-friendly. After listening to Lu Jiao's words, they didn't object.

"Row."

Lu Jiao added the second item: "Even if you make money from raising leeches, men in Xiejia Village are not allowed to take concubines. If they do, they will leave Xiejia Village."

This one is very serious.

Seeing the strange expressions of the village chief and the patriarch, Lu Jiao added: "My original intention was to let the people of Xiejia Village live a good life, not to let men have money to take concubines and be the women of the lowly family. If this is the case, I would rather not Teach you to keep leeches."

After listening to Lu Jiao's words, the village chief and the patriarch didn't feel any discomfort. Lu Jiao's condition was also to make the women in their family feel better, and they didn't plan to take concubines, so this condition was fine.

"Okay, we have promised you."

Lu Jiao added: "The third one is the person who participated in raising leeches. Two-thirds of the money distributed in the future will be handed over to the public, and one-third will be self-satisfied.

^0^ One second to remember【】

"

This is for Xie Erzhu and Xia Lian, the hard-working people.

The village chief and the patriarch were stunned, but in the end they all agreed: "We agreed."

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "Thank you to the village chief and the patriarch. If each family agrees to my terms, they will have to put their fingerprints on the contract. After pressing the fingerprints, they must follow the contract."

The village chief and the patriarch did not object.

Xie Yunjin on the side said, "The village chief and the patriarch, I have such an idea. Can you listen to it and see if it is feasible?"

The village chief, the patriarch and others looked at Xie Yunjin in unison.

Xie Yunjin pondered for a moment and said, "I think it is possible to build a special place to keep leeches~www.readwn.com~ About raising leeches, I will teach the people of the Xie surname. Of course, it is impossible to teach everyone, only one person who is specially responsible, and then This person is assigned to live out, and there are many things to keep leeches, such as fishing for small fish and shrimps, and watching leeches at night, in case people from other villages know about this and come over and poison the leeches."

The village chief and the patriarch nodded after hearing Xie Yunjin's words.

Xie Yunjin went on to say: "Let's start raising leeches first, each family will take out a part of the land, and the land will be counted in the Gongzhong field. When the leeches make money, they will be supplied to each family according to the selling price per mu of land. In the future, the fields will be regarded as the public leech breeding grounds of Xiejia Village."

The village chief and the patriarch nodded again and again and felt that Xie Yunjin's method was very good.

Xie Yunjin went on to say: "As for the final income, it is distributed according to the head of each household. As for the people who work, it is based on the number of people in each household. For example, a family of three people, one person is sent to work, and the other family has six people. There are only two individuals, and the final share of the money is divided according to these heads to ensure fairness for each household.”

"In this way, our Xiejia Village has not only obtained the secret recipe for raising leeches, but also attracted foreigners, so that they will not dare to give birth to Xiejia Village in the future."
