On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 251 Six-word motto: Build high walls and store up food
(Thanks to rcmamahong for voting 2 monthly tickets.)
The matter of Li Shiyue becoming an official caused a huge discussion in Liujiatun, and people came to Li Shiyue's house for three consecutive days.

This forced Li Shiyue to lock the four dogs in the kitchen to prevent them from biting any lazy people in the village.

Yes, Li Shiyue’s dog only likes clean people. If a lazy person comes to visit, he will definitely be bitten.

It's also fortunate that it's winter now and everyone is wearing thick clothes. If it were summer, it would definitely leave a bloody hole with every bite.

Although Li Shiyue had already become the most influential person in Liujiatun due to the spring ploughing and autumn harvest as well as the establishment of the inn and the leasing of houses to the caravans that came to trade, his word was law.

However, secretly there are still a few people who look down on Li Shiyue.

And the reason they looked down on her was simply because of her gender!

Yes, just because Li Shiyue is a girl, no matter how capable and talented she is, no matter how much money she can make and how well she can lead others to make money and live a good life, these people will still bully her behind her back.

Moreover, among these people of Cricket Li Shiyue, the majority are women.

Even Li Youfu and his eighth uncle had admitted defeat to Li Shiyue. In Liujiatun, whenever Li Shiyue talked about opening an ancestral hall to discuss something, he would be the one sitting in the main seat.

But those women, who were actually the eighth great-grandfather's daughter-in-law and another woman, would still criticize Li Shiyue behind her back for not acting like a lady and for not showing up in public all day long, saying that Li Shiyue would never be able to get married.

However, even if they said these words in front of Li Shiyue, she would not be angry at all.

After all, what could Li Shiyue say to those women who were limited by their own vision and could only live in this small piece of land?
Of course, they didn't dare say this in front of Li Shiyue.

Li Shiyue saw that the constant stream of people coming to his family was not a big deal, so he asked Li Shiliang and Li Wangshui to notify each family to go to the ancestral hall for a meeting tomorrow, and everyone should sit down and talk it out.

Although Li Shiyue wanted to go to the provincial capital as soon as possible to get her own official land, it was almost the twelfth lunar month and it was freezing cold. Even if she could take the fast track route like General Liu Tan, she would have to wait until the beginning of next spring to get it, right?
Therefore, before going to the provincial capital, Li Shiyue planned to tell everyone in Liujiatun about her future plans for Liujiatun.

Are a paper mill, two big inns and twenty or thirty rooms enough?

This is certainly not enough!
Just like what Li Shiyue said to Li Wangshui and others before, now that they have this trade route, they can go to the grassland to participate in trade, and they can earn money while sitting at home.

But it was the Xuanjia Army and the Youzhou Army that jointly controlled the Turks!

The Turks then bowed their heads and agreed to the trade!

Otherwise, how could the Turks use cattle and horses to exchange for food or something? They would have come on horseback to rob them long ago!
Robbery and plunder are truly a business with no capital!

Judging from the fact that Li Shiyue and Yan Jiuniang participated in the trade competition a few days ago, the Turks, a tribe that is not of our kind, must have different hearts!
In the future, when they have accumulated enough strength, they will surely make a comeback!

At that time, their place Liujiatun will become the first stop for the Turks and Mohe to invade Andong!
Therefore, Li Shiyue naturally had to make preparations for both situations. In peacetime, he would lead Liujiatun to expand production, make money and save people!

When a war really breaks out in the future, there must be someone who has the money to not only resist, but also lead Liujiatun to eat the meat of the barbarians!

Just like their previous raid on the Mohe tribe, not only could they protect themselves, but they could also eat other people’s flesh!

Therefore, when Li Shiyue was still in Yan Jiuniang's tent, the six-word motto emerged in her mind: build high walls and store up food!

In the future, troubled times will come again, wars will start again, these six words will allow Li Shiyue to lead the people of Liujiatun to survive in this troubled time! Therefore, during the meeting in the ancestral hall this time, Li Shiyue sat in the main seat at the top, his face was very serious.

Of course, as a leader, it is not appropriate to smile in formal occasions.

Li Shiyue nodded to Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian, and the two sisters distributed the list of things they were going to do next that Li Shiyue had prepared in advance to everyone present.

Practice makes perfect. After listening to Li Shiyue's arrangements for this task during the last autumn harvest, everyone was already very skilled in taking the paper with densely written words and reading it.

Jiang Huai was also invited by Li Shiyue. After all, during this period of time, the people in Liujiatun could read documents, write their own names, and calculate their own accounts, all thanks to Jiang Huai's efforts.

This time when Jiang Huai was invited, he did not refuse like he did last time. I don't know if it was because he knew that Li Shiyue had an official position, or if he had other considerations.

In short, Jiang Huai took the piece of paper that Li Xiatian handed to him with a smile, lowered his head and looked at the paper full of words.

The first thing written at the beginning is the charcoal burning yard, and Jiang Huai certainly knew this charcoal burning yard.

Ever since Mazi and his friends at the foot of the Dahei Mountain experimented with making charcoal step by step according to the method given by Li Shiyue, the school has received a share of charcoal since the beginning of winter.

No one can suffer, but children should not suffer.

In order to prevent carbon poisoning, Li Shiyue spent a lot of money to hire a craftsman from the provincial capital to build a stove for the school to vent the smoke to the outside.

The charcoal supplied to the school is the best quality smokeless charcoal made by Mazi and his colleagues. It produces almost no smoke and has a fresh pine wood fragrance.

Of course, as the only teacher in the school, Mazi and his friends specially asked Jiang Huai and sent a cart of charcoal to the Jiang family according to the address given by Jiang Huai.

Originally, Mazi and his friends didn't intend to ask for money for this truckload of charcoal.

However, the Jiang family is a very particular family, so they must give money.

Ma Zi and the others had no choice but to only charge 50% of the market price, and the other half was given as a gift for Jiang Huai's sake.

As for the charcoal, Li Shiyue had already arranged for people to go to the city to deliver two large carts to the general's mansion.

When it comes to pleasing people, you have to think about it in advance and build their favorability on a daily basis. Otherwise, if you do it at the last minute, it will seem like you are not close enough. How can you ask someone to do something for you?

Jiang Huai looked at the information about the charcoal field written on it. He saw that Li Shiyue had written on it that in addition to the mutual trade, before the spring, the main business of their Liujiatun would be charcoal.

After all, Anton is bitterly cold. Although people in the village can use kangs, most people in the city sleep on beds, so they have to burn charcoal to keep warm.

Therefore, there is absolutely no problem selling the charcoal produced in Liujiatun.

To Jiang Huai's surprise, Li Shiyue actually wrote about planting trees right after that in this charcoal yard.
