The people in the east bedroom all looked at Lu Jiao in surprise, and then looked at Xie Yunjin.Xie Yunjin said slowly: "Don't worry, listen to Lu Jiao and you." ”The village chief and the patriarch looked at Lu Jiao, and Lu Jiao said softly: "You only know that leeches suck human blood, which is not a good thing, but you don't know that the medicinal value of leeches is very high, it can activate blood and dissolve stasis, open the body and relieve pain, clear heat and detoxify, not only can cure women's diseases, but also cure blockages in the brain, like a stroke or something to use leeches." ”"At present, leeches are not used in many medicines, because they can't receive such a large amount, and leeches because of the large gap, so the current purchase value is very expensive, I guess that a pound of fresh leeches is at least more than 500 yuan.""
An acre of land can breed about 200 catties of leeches, but leeches are not well raised, and the mortality rate is very large, so we will calculate according to the minimum number of 100 catties, and the leeches of an acre of land can be about 50 taels of silver.""
Feeding leeches uses small fish, shrimp and snails, which can be fished in various rivers by families, and some raw blood is used, which can be bought at the place where the pigs are killed, and it is only used once a week, so it doesn't cost much.""
So this matter is a manual matter from beginning to end, and the most important thing we lack in Xiejia Village is labor."
Lu Jiao didn't say anything about this, but the village chief and the patriarch were shocked by her words.One acre of land earns fifty taels of silver, God, this number is too scary, how much grain do you have to buy for fifty taels.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.But after a while, the village chief and the patriarch calmed down, 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 shop and buy a large number of various medicinal materials, they must have collected leeches, and before the village chief raises leeches, you can go and sign a contract with him, and then take some deposits back." ”As soon as Lu Jiao said, the village chief and the patriarch were moved, and several people turned around and looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "Yunjin, what do you think of this?"
”Xie Yunjin nodded slightly and said: "I think it is feasible, this is a good opportunity, it is not easy to raise leeches, the people in the village have learned this craft, and the future generations will not be poor, and when they have money, the clan will send the children of the family to school." ”"If I go out of Xiejia Village in the future, I will build a family study in Xiejia Village, and more people in Xiejia Village will go out in the future."
Xie Yunjin said that the village chief and the patriarch were excited, their families had children and grandchildren, and they didn't want their children to go out of Xiejia Village."
Since Yun Jin said that it is feasible, I will immediately convene a meeting of the people of Xiejia Village in the afternoon to discuss this matter."
After the village chief finished speaking, the patriarch suddenly turned around and looked at Xie Yunjin and said, "Is it still taught by every family like before this time?"
”Xie Yunjin turned around and looked at Lu Jiao.Lu Jiao originally planned to teach women from all families, 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, they take a concubine back, and the women in the family will not be angry.Her original intention was to help the people of Xiejia Village get rich, but not to make the women angry.However, Lu Jiao looked at the meaning of the patriarch and seemed to have an idea.She looked at the patriarch and asked, "What does the patriarch think?"
”The patriarch said with a slight gloom in his eyes: "I want to use this craft of raising leeches as the craft of the clan surnamed Xie, but I have this idea, but I don't know how to arrange this matter safely?"
”Although the patriarch is a big person in the clan, he is only from a local background and his vision is not high, so although he has such an idea in his head, he doesn't know how to arrange this matter properly.If this matter is not arranged well, Xiejia Village will be divided, and even cause trouble.In the future, the harmony in the village will no longer exist, which is also what he and Xie Fugui used to make all the villagers recognize herbal medicine.Xie Yunjin listened to the patriarch's words, turned around and looked 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, but the village chief and the patriarch have to promise me three conditions." ”"First, the money earned from raising leeches needs to be collected by the female relatives of the family, which is to prevent men from becoming bad when they have money."
As soon as Lu Jiao's words fell, several men in the room looked at Lu Jiao together.Xie Yunjin also looked at Lu Jiao, and he also sent a ghostly sentence: "I won't become bad if I have money." ”Lu Jiao looked at him speechlessly, what did it matter to her that he would not change or worse.In the room, the village chief, the patriarch and others listened to Lu Jiao's words, although they were surprised, but they were very family-oriented, and after listening to Lu Jiao's words, they did not object."
Okay."
Lu Jiao said the second article: "Even if you make money by raising leeches, the men in Xiejia Village are not allowed to take concubines, and if they take concubines, they will leave Xiejia Village." ”This is a very serious one.Lu Jiao saw that the village chief and the patriarch looked strange, and 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 as women in cheap families, if so, I would rather not teach you to raise leeches." ”The village chief and the patriarch listened to Lu Jiao's words, but there was nothing uncomfortable, Lu Jiao's condition was also to make the women in their family feel better, not to mention that they had no intention of taking concubines, so this condition was okay."
Okay, we've got you covered."
Lu Jiao said again: "The third is the person who participates in raising leeches, and two-thirds of the money he will share in the future will be handed over to the public, and one-third will be self-satisfied." ”This is for Xie Erzhu and Xia Lian, who are working hard.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 the families agree to my conditions, they will have to press their handprints on the contract at that time, and they must do it according to the contract in the future." ”The village chief and the patriarch did not object.Xie Yunjin on the side opened his mouth and said, "Village chief 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 together.Xie Yunjin pondered for a moment and said: "I think we can build a place dedicated to raising leeches, and raise leeches, just teach the people surnamed Xie, of course, it is impossible for everyone to teach, only teach one who is specifically responsible, and then this person will assign them to live, there are a lot of things to raise leeches, such as fishing for small fish, shrimp and snails, and watching leeches at night, in case people from other villages know about it and come over to poison leeches." ”Xie Yunjin's words, the village chief and the patriarch listened to the nodding again and again.Xie Yunjin continued: "First start raising leeches, each family takes out a part of the field, and the field is counted into the public middle field, and when the leeches make money, according to the selling price per mu of land, supply each family, and these fields will be counted as the public leech land in Xiejia Village in the future." ”The village chief and the patriarch nodded again and again, and felt that Xie Yunjin's method was very good.Xie Yunjin continued: "As for the money earned in the end, it will be distributed according to the head of each family, and as for the person who does the work, it will be distributed according to the number of people in each household, for example, a family of three people, one person will be sent out to do things, and the other family will have two people out of six people, and the final money will be divided according to these heads, so as to ensure the fairness of each family." ”"In this way, our Xie Jia Village not only got the secret recipe for raising leeches, but also caught people with foreign surnames, so that they would not dare to have a foreign heart for Xie Jia Village in the future."
