Good luck every time
Chapter 269: The general is on his way and doesn’t chase the little rabbit.
Han Shian came and left quickly, and Li Ruyi didn't see him again for a long time after that.
Li Ruyi also became busy.
There are more and more families in the village who cannot afford food.
Many people couldn't bear it anymore and were ready to sell their children.
They also didn't want to be separated from their family, so the first person they considered was Li Ruyi.
There are not many wealthy families in the village, and Li Ruyi is definitely one of them.
Most importantly, she really needs people.
Just look at how many people she hired.
Li Ruyi did not accept these children, but instead spread the word.
She can give each family half a pound of food every day, and everyone can exchange it for anything of the same value as the food.
The grain price set by Li Ruyi was not high, and was even maintained at the level before the price increase.
Maybe two bundles of firewood or a pair of straw sandals could be exchanged for half a pound of food, and everyone was excited!
For the first time, Li Ruyi had an idea of how many people there were in the village!
Her yard was surrounded by people, and even if all the Li family members came to maintain order, they couldn't stop people from coming.
Mr. Li almost had all his limited hair pulled out.
Li Ruyi was speechless and could only ask Li Ershi to climb over the wall and quickly find all the prestigious people in the village.
There has to be a rule here.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Although the village head lived far away, he arrived the fastest.
When Li Er went to find him, he was already halfway there.
When the people from the village head's family, Li Er's family, and the people brought by Li Dasheng were all present, they were able to control the restless people.
I feel a little unhappy because I am being controlled by others!
He yelled at Li Ruyi and asked her why she hadn't brought out the food earlier, causing him to sell all the girls in his family!
Li Ruyi has always been ruthless towards such people and directly asked Li Er to throw the person out.
What does his selling of the girl have to do with whether Li Ruyi has food?
The gods in heaven can live forever, so why doesn't he go up to heaven and ask why people don't give him some life?
Li Ruyi's kindness often comes from anxiety.
She does good things because she feels that she is not worthy of such an opportunity.
But there are not many people who make her feel truly distressed.
The village head felt relieved upon seeing this, hoping that Li Ruyi was not a kind and weak person.
Once order was restored, Li Ruyi asked everyone to go back first. No matter what, they could always come up with a set of rules tomorrow.
Some people are crying out for hunger and want to exchange food today.
They were afraid that Li Ruyi was just in a whim and would not agree to it tomorrow.
Even Li Ruyi’s guarantee was of no use.
But at this time, she must not compromise or give in. Once she retreats, she will only be able to retreat again and again.
Even though she is doing good things, it is not easy to do "good things" clearly.
Li Ruyi failed to convince people with reason, so he simply caught those who made the most noise and beat them up.
Sure enough, the crowd quieted down.
Li Ruyi has not fully grown yet, but she is no longer short. She stands in the middle of the yard, with her people behind her and villagers in front of her staring at her, waiting for her to give her food.
"I know what everyone is thinking. They think I am doing this just for fame and money, and they think they can use fame and money to blackmail me!"
"To tell you the truth, I did this just to save more people. I don't care what you say to my face or behind my back."
"But if you come into my door and want my food, you have to follow my rules!"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. If anyone thinks they can come to my house and steal food just because they have more people, then the knife in my hand is not vegetarian!"
Li Ruyi drew out his sword and pointed the sharp blade at everyone.
At the same time, Li Er had already drawn out his large ring knife and stood beside her.
"This knife has seen blood. I have killed two people with it myself! If you don't want to die, just be obedient! I never break my promises."
"But if you won't listen to any advice, don't blame me for being cruel!"
Li Ruyi held the knife in his hand and put it back into the scabbard with his backhand.
After the silence, when the village head sent the person away in a soothing manner, there was a lot less nonsense.
No one starved to death in the village that day.
If you really have no food to eat, you can borrow some from other people's homes.
After a while, Patriarch Han and Patriarch Sun also arrived at the Li family in a hurry.
Li Ruyi's attitude towards them remained the same as before, and he did not act condescendingly just because he wanted to share the food.
This made Patriarch Han feel much better.
After all, he also needs help from others.
Li Ruyi explained her situation.
"I don't have much food either. My cousin just said that there are more than 400 households in the village now. I guess we'll have to divide the family when we go back."
"That's more than 400 kilograms of food for two days, and 6,000 to 7,000 kilograms for a month. I can only last two months at most. After two months, I won't even be able to eat!"
After hearing this, the village head felt extremely complicated.
Even Chief Han remained silent, which was rare.
"My idea is that instead of me supporting everyone, I should let everyone support themselves."
"I want to go to the capital to find a way out for everyone. Firewood or straw sandals are not long-term solutions, and even making sugar is the same."
After hearing what Li Ruyi said, the village head sighed.
"But where can you find the livelihood you mentioned?"
Li Ruyi was silent for a moment before speaking.
"I want to burn charcoal, but charcoal is hard to come by in winter, and some people can't even buy it if they want."
Everyone in the room was shocked.
"You want everyone to go with you to burn charcoal?"
Li Ruyi shook her head.
"I plan to make this method public so that everyone can make charcoal and sell it. I will go to the capital to find a market, and I will charge as many people as I can in our village!"
The head of the village was a little worried.
“What if you get the order but the villagers don’t have that much charcoal? It’s too risky.”
Li Ruyi had thought about the possible problems that might arise.
What the head of the village meant was not that the villagers could not burn so much charcoal, nor that Li Ruyi was overestimating his own capabilities and taking on an outrageous order.
But he knew that once the method was made public, many people in the village might not cooperate with Li Ruyi.
They will go to those who offer more money.
You might even be bribed and betrayed...
But the village head couldn't say anything because there were too many people here and they would talk too much, and it would be bad if it got out.
Li Ruyi gave him a soothing smile.
She naturally understood what the head of the village meant.
But her ideal is to become a merchant. How can she operate without goods?
If she relies on herself, when will she be able to produce enough goods?
Yes, you can make more money by keeping a recipe to make money!
But what about more money?
Who can guarantee that if you have more money, you won’t die?
If you want to become a big tree, don't compete with grass.
The general is on his way, not chasing the rabbit.
The general has a sword, but he doesn't use it to kill ants.
Li Ruyi has limited time every day, so she has to make reasonable choices.
The more you focus on the petty gains in the present, the more you will be trapped by them.
She must make concessions and must achieve a win-win situation!
