On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle
Chapter 116 Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality
After Patriarch Song sent the people away, he led Song Zhi back to the main hall. At this moment, he was still excited!
After he calmed down a little, he repeated to Song Zhi in detail what he had just said.
"From now on, just focus on preparing for the provincial examination. I will take care of your family. You don't have to worry too much about the travel expenses!" Clan leader Song promised.
Song Zhi felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa. I will definitely work hard to prepare and will not let you down!"
Patriarch Song nodded with satisfaction, a gratified smile on his face.
After so many years, their village finally had such a talented child. How could he not cultivate him?
After some encouragement, the Song clan leader asked about what had just happened: "Today, your uncle Song promised to give out high-yield bean seeds. Which families do you think should be given them?"
Song Zhi is extremely talented, and Patriarch Chen wants to hear his opinion to see if the family he has chosen is the same as what he has in mind!
Song Zhi thought for a moment and said, "These bean seeds are hard to come by. Uncle Song has good intentions, but I think it's not appropriate to give them to just a few families in the clan!"
"Why is this?" Patriarch Song asked puzzledly.
Song Zhi pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Just like what the clan grandfather asked me now!"
"What kind of criterion is this for judging hardship? If two families are in similar situations and one is chosen while the other is not, you will inevitably feel unfair!"
"This bean seed is precious and hard to come by. If it doesn't involve my own interests, it's fine. But once it does, I'm afraid that even if you, the clan grandfather, step in, conflicts will inevitably arise!"
"This is a very good thing. But it would be bad if it caused discord among the tribesmen!"
"Grandpa, you should understand that what is worrying is not the lack of wealth, but the inequality of wealth!"
After hearing what Song Zhi said, Patriarch Song was shocked.
He was so happy at the time that he didn't even think about the hidden dangers in this regard!
He looked at the young man's tender face and felt very relieved. This child could think of so many things so quickly. When he grows older, he will only act more prudently!
Chief Song patted the young man's shoulder happily and said, "You are right. What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the imbalance of wealth. If we don't handle the hidden dangers properly, I am afraid that a good thing will turn into a bad thing."
He pondered for a moment and then asked, "What about this bean seed matter? Do you have any good ideas?"
Song Zhi thought for a moment and replied, "The land behind the mountain is not small. In addition to the land allocated to Uncle Song, there should be a lot of wasteland!"
"Grandpa, please select one person from each household. In addition to helping Uncle Song dig the pond, the rest of the people will reclaim wasteland. The reclaimed land will be used to concentrate on planting beans, and then everyone will share it equally!"
"Or we can give it a little more, leaving an extra 20% for the poor at home, and the remaining 80% can be divided equally among everyone!"
"This way, everyone can get the bean seeds, and even if they have some thoughts in their hearts, they can accept it!"
"The most important point is that everyone's concentrated planting can also ensure safety to a certain extent. This high-yield bean variety is too rare, and I'm afraid there are many people who have ideas about it!"
"If I give the bean seeds to someone, they will definitely promise me huge profits. Money can attract people, so I don't want Uncle Song to break his promise and delay the county magistrate's business!"
If Patriarch Chen had heard the reasons Song mentioned earlier, he would have considered it, but the last sentence made Patriarch Song make up his mind!
Now he also knew that these high-yield bean varieties were the county magistrate's bargaining chips.
If the adults' plan fails because of the concerns of their clan members, then the Song family will be the sinners of Nanyun County!
The Song clan leader looked at the young man in front of him with great satisfaction and praised him, "Good boy, today it's all thanks to your reminder. I'll talk to your uncle Song about this tomorrow when I see him!"
Song Zhi smiled shyly, "I am also a member of the clan, so I should do my part!"
After hearing this, Patriarch Song was very pleased.
Song Xile and his father returned home and wanted to go back!
Before leaving, she reminded him, "Dad, we will meet at the county government office tomorrow, and then we will come home together."
Yang glanced at her daughter and said, "What's wrong with you always running home?"
"Mom, I have to help Dad and the others find the water source at the foot of the mountain!"
Old Song was very happy: "Then Daddy will ask your mom to make you your favorite bacon fried bamboo shoots!"
Song Xile nodded happily, "Dad, you won't be available at the county government tomorrow, so ask my eldest brother to find the well diggers, and we'll try to determine the location tomorrow!"
"Okay, I'll talk to your brother in a minute!"
Yang watched the father and daughter singing the same tune from the side and did not object in the end!
Before leaving, Yang stuffed back the five taels of silver that her daughter had given her today!
"Now that our family is rich, take this money back!"
"Just keep it, Mom. We agreed that this is for my little brother to use for his studies!"
"We need to dig wells and build guardhouses around the fields. Everything costs money!"
"It would only cost five taels of silver to dig a well. As for the house to look after the fields, we can just build some simple straw huts. It doesn't cost that much. Just take what you are told!"
"You two haven't separated yet, so it's not a good idea to ask your family for money when you need it, right?"
There is one thing Yang didn't mention. Her son-in-law still has to go to the provincial capital to take part in the provincial examination, and the subsequent expenses will naturally not be small!
From what she had heard about her son-in-law's background, she was afraid that he had a difficult life at home. Since his family was rich, it would be difficult for her to ask for money from her daughter!
Seeing this, Song Xile stopped insisting. She took the money and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll keep it for now, and when I make a lot of money, I'll give it to you!"
Yang patted her daughter's hand with a smile on her face, "Okay, okay, I am satisfied that you have such filial piety!"
At this time, the donkey cart that Song Ping had hired also arrived. Just now, his sister said that she wanted to go back, so Yang asked her son to hire a donkey cart. If the two of them had to walk back on foot, it would probably be dark by then!
"Okay, the car is here, let's go, it won't be good to go back late!"
The two climbed onto the donkey cart and waved goodbye to their family. When the two little nephews saw that their aunt was leaving, they pouted their lips and looked very reluctant!
Xiaotou pouted and asked Xu grievancefully, "Mother, why doesn't my aunt live at home?"
"My aunt got married and has her own family now!"
Xiaotou was very sad when he heard this, and the little golden beans in his eyes couldn't be held back and fell down.
The little guy choked up and said, "Then our home is no longer Auntie's home?"
"Silly children, as long as you are here, auntie will always have a home!"
"You have to eat well, grow up healthily, and protect your aunt in the future and be her support, okay?"
Datou snuggled up to his mother, clenched his fists, and said solemnly: "Mom, when I grow up, I will never let anyone bully my aunt!"
Little Head was very confused, but that didn't stop him from imitating his brother. He clenched his little fists, and waved them a few times like his brother, looking very fierce!
When the Song family saw it, they just found it funny, and even their sadness of parting was diluted a lot!
