The village chief took a look at Mrs. Li. The two of them had said a few words before, and he had the bottom line in his heart, so he stepped forward and said to Mr. Zhou.

"Master Zhou, don't worry, our village will definitely be able to get this money. It's just that we are newcomers, where to find good craftsmen, buy wood and stone, we are not familiar with these, and I hope you can give me some pointers."

Lord Zhou nodded, thought for a while, and said, "I have a good candidate, my brother-in-law. He is a scholar, but he likes these chores since he was a child. He was often disciplined by his family. .Now that he is getting older, the family has given up. He usually walks outside, and he has made a lot of craftsmen, and he is also familiar with shopping. If everyone can trust me, I will let him come over tomorrow?"

"Okay, Master Zhou recommended it, of course we can rest assured." The village head agreed immediately, which made Master Zhou very happy.

His brother-in-law, there's nothing wrong with it, but he's too out of tune, and he's sent here to suffer for a month, so he might be able to restrain his weird temper a bit.

That's it. Mr. Zhou still has some errands to go back to Xindu with Mr. Wen under the setting sun.

Everyone was busy making dinner, but they were all wondering where the 200 taels came from.

After dinner, the village head, Uncle Zhao, Mrs. Li brought their three sons, and Liu Biaotou and others got together and held a small meeting.

Jiayin was young, nestled in her grandma's arms, obediently nibbling on the spring cakes, and secretly listening to the excitement.

Mrs. Cui bought this Spring Festival Cake. It tastes like the mung bean cake of the later generations, and the taste is very dry, which is suitable for her to nibble on.

The village chief opened his mouth first, and asked Mrs. Li, "Big sister, you said earlier that Mr. Ye wanted to help the village?"

Mrs. Li nodded, and after thinking about it, she said, "I was just talking about building a valley, but I didn't have enough money. Mr. Ye said he had money and wanted to lend it to our family a few hundred taels. It’s not easy, fighting against the barbarians every day is like putting your life to the test. Secondly, we are a big piece of fat here, and I don’t know how many people will be jealous in the future.”

The old lady sighed, "I discussed with Mr. Ye that the few hundred taels are considered to be invested by him in the village. If he makes money later, he will share the same money with him. This place will also be considered his property, to scare outsiders."

The village head knocked on the cigarette pot and agreed very much, "Big girl is right, Mr. Ye has already helped our village too much, it's not good to let others worry and work hard, and we haven't paid back yet."

Uncle Zhao lost a lot of weight because of his injury and couldn't eat or sleep well, but he was still in good spirits.

At this moment, he also said, "Yeah, Mr. Ye was originally attached to your family. In fact, he just cared about your family. But he saved everyone's life at the pier, delivered food, and came to visit. Let's take it for nothing." It's thick-skinned to take money from other people."

Mrs. Li was satisfied with what she heard, and said, "Young master Ye finally agreed with me, and promised to put our Broken Gold Beach under his name. Although it has been heard by the heavens, if someone wants to plot against us, the emperor will I won’t do anything to those wealthy families for the sake of our small village. However, Mr. Ye has military power and... status, so no one dares to provoke him easily."

"Young Master Ye is really a good man. We can't repay you so much for your kindness."

"Yes, everyone has seen it today. After the valley is built, it is so beautiful. I am afraid that some people will be jealous. Mr. Ye is a military lord. If it is his property, no one will dare to do it. gone."

Everyone was happy, and after setting the general direction, they discussed how to distribute the bonus.

Mrs. Li said again, "Young Master Ye said that the imperial court allocated these two hills, valleys and riverbanks to our village. He only put up a name and invested some money, so it is not good to share the money like the villagers. In the future , to take part of his share and use it for the village."

The village head was anxious when he heard this, "Young master Ye is too polite, without his help, where would we be on the mountain?"

"That's right, if you want me to say, it's better to give Mr. Ye a dividend as well."

Everyone was chattering, the discussion lasted for more than half an hour, and by the time everyone was finally called together to talk, night had already fallen.

The bonfires were lit in the valley, reflecting the hopeful faces of the villagers.

The village chief took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, don't worry, Mr. Ye will invest money with us to build the valley. Work will start as usual tomorrow!"

"Really? That's great, Mr. Ye really saved my life!"

"Young Master Ye is really a great benefactor of our village, you must thank Young Master Ye well in the future!"

There is no way out in the poor mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark willows and bright flowers.

The villagers immediately cheered as if they were lifted from hell to heaven.

The village chief waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and then said.

"What is the purpose of Ye Gongzi's help? The second son and his family extended a helping hand when he was in trouble. Now that Ye Gongzi is willing to borrow money, it is also a repayment to the second son and his family. We are all following the glory!"

He waved the cigarette pot with his remaining arm, "As the old saying goes, brothers and sisters settle accounts clearly. We dragged each other and escaped to come here together. We are like a family. No one wants to be broken because of the unfair distribution of money." So, now that the wild geese haven't come back, let's talk about whether it's steamed or boiled, and whoever gets a share of the meat."

"The village chief is right, it should be."

"Yes, you can't ruin your relationship just because of money."

The villagers spoke one after another, thinking about struggling for their lives in the mountains and forests, and the despair at the pier. Everyone cherishes the stability now, and the good days that are in front of them.

The village chief was very pleased to hear that, and then he told the result of their discussion.

"That's how we discussed it, everyone. The capital of 200 taels is used to build the valley and build houses for each family. Therefore, it is divided into 12 shares, one share is 25 taels, and how much money can anyone get? Just buy a few shares. I estimate that everyone can buy about [-] shares. The Li family can buy [-] shares. Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui will keep five shares for them. If they don’t want it, they will give it to the Li family. The rest is [-] shares , are all covered by Ye Gongzi."

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Li Laoer opened his mouth to help explain, "Simply put, you buy a few shares, and you will share the money in the future. For example, if your family buys two shares, then the valley earns 1000 taels of silver a month, and your family will share the money. 20 taels."

"Oh, so that's the case, then we understand. It's like everyone gathers together flour to bake big cakes. Whoever produces more flour will get a bigger piece of dough at the end." A woman said loudly.

Everyone laughed, "Yes, yes, that's what it means."

"If we talked about sharing the pie earlier, we would have understood."

Because of a big pie, the seriousness just now was swept away in the valley, and it was much more lively.

The village chief couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and quickly waved his hands to stop everyone from talking and laughing, and then said: "Grandma Funiu told Mr. Ye about this before, and Mr. Ye said that our valley will bear his name in the future, and no one will dare to bully him." He still takes the capital, but the hills and valleys belong to our village. He is unwilling to share the same dividends, and he does not want to take advantage of the village. Therefore, according to the money invested, part of the dividends he gets will be given away. The few of us The old one discussed it, and it was not good to disappoint Mr. Ye's heart.

"So I decided to use this part of the dividends to build a yard for Mr. Ye. In the future, we will build a school for the children to study. When we see the house, we can remember that Mr. Ye treats us well. When the children grow up, they can also follow Mr. Ye Same, defend the country!"

"Okay, what the village head uncle said is good!"

"Ye Gongzi has nothing to say about us, and we can't treat him badly."

"Yes, build a yard, and our village will have Mr. Ye's home."

The villagers responded loudly, grateful in their hearts.

The village chief waved his hand, "Everyone just agrees, and remember what you said today. Don't talk sour nonsense when you really have a penny in the future. This one is too much, and that one is less. Who dares to break the sentiment, I will personally drag him back to the forest to feed the wolves!"?
