The village head thought for a while, suppressed the beating in his heart, and said, "Master Liu, since we have trusted you, we can arrange these things as you like. But there is one thing I want to talk about."

"Okay, village chief, tell me." Liu Zhiheng nodded, guessing that it was about the price.

Sure enough, the village head said, "As for the price of cold melons and muskmelons, although we have been planting them for more than half a year and suffered a lot, we don't want them to be too expensive. In other words, we are willing to sell these cold melons at a reasonable price. Both melon and cantaloupe will be sold to you. As for the price after you take them away, we will not be jealous even if a cold melon sells for an ingot of gold."

This made Liu Zhiheng too unexpected. Everyone hoped to get rich overnight and reach the sky in one step.

But why did the person who broke the gold beach push out the gold he got?

"This... Village Chief, rare things are more expensive. It is easy to sell these cold melons and muskmelons at sky-high prices. If you sell them like this, you will lose a lot of money."

The village chief smiled and shook his head, "Others don't know, but we know it ourselves. We are just a bunch of mud-legged people who managed to escape here to survive. We got the hot spring valley, and we have already been envied by others, and have caused troubles for Mr. Wen and Lord Hou.

"Now that these cold melons and muskmelons are sold at sky-high prices, I'm afraid troubles will continue again. Lord Hou is away fighting, and Mr. Wen has just entered the imperial court. We don't want to burden them with trouble. Silver is easy to use, but we must have it." Life, only if you have a safe life can you spend it well."

Li Laoer also echoed, "Young children walk in the downtown with gold in their hands. Most of them can't keep the gold, and even endanger their lives. We are ordinary people. We only want to live a stable and prosperous life. We don't want to be regarded as attractive fat by everyone. Always ready to take a bite."

Before sending cold melons to Liu's family, the village chief discussed with Li Laoer, Liu's escort leader Li Laosi and other captains.

Silver is a good thing, but the village has no ability to protect itself for the time being, and most of them rely on Lord Hou and Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui.

If you are too greedy, you will end up causing disasters, harming others and yourself.

Why not, just take what they deserve, and feel more at ease.

The village chief said again, "So, for the cold melons and muskmelons in our field, excluding those that were paid to the palace, let's simply set a price and give half of it to Mr. Liu to sell, even if it costs gold and silver. Mountains, we only take our own share. The other half must be kept in the fields to feed the valley and add to the excitement.”

Liu Zhiheng didn't speak for a while, feeling very complicated in his heart.

At the beginning, he just thought that the people in Suijintan were simple and kind-hearted, and that the righteous sister lived here, at most she could subsidize some food and supplies, and she just wanted to find a place to relax and live, safe and at ease.

Only now do I know that he is still shallow.These people may not have read many books, but they are rare sober and sensible.

Only take what is deserved, not greedy or arrogant, this is easy to say, but it is the hardest thing to do.

He stood up and solemnly bowed to the village head and Li Laoer and others, "Liu has been taught today, thank you all!"

The village chief and others hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile, "We are just cowardly, not daring to cause trouble, so we don't know the truth, we can't talk about teaching."

Li Laoer also said, "Besides, if the cold melon and muskmelon are sold, many people will try to plant them next year. Our village does not intend to hide it. Anyone who asks about planting methods will teach a few words. If Liu The master’s house has a river beach, so it’s good to plant a few acres.”

Liu Zhiheng thought for a while, then nodded, "The seeds of cold melon and cantaloupe are sold, and everyone wants to try it. It's easy to make enemies if you don't teach it. Well, my family will also plant a few acres. At that time, I have to trouble the village to send someone to give some guidance occasionally."

"Sure, it's a trivial matter." The village head agreed immediately.

Even if the matter is settled at this point, I am happy to hear the good news from the beginning to the end.

She was worried that the people in the village would lose their minds due to sudden wealth, but she didn't expect the village chief and the second uncle to be sober as usual.

It's like a big cake, everyone wants to take a bite, it's better to take the initiative to share it than to hold it tightly in your arms and be coveted by all kinds of schemes.

In this way, a relatively large piece can be left, which can be held safely.

Naturally, everyone feels distressed about the part that was allocated, but in the final analysis, Suijintan is still too weak, and seeking stability and development is the first priority.

That night, Liu Zhiheng stayed at Li's house, and the third room just happened to move to Luo'an, and the room was vacant, so it was convenient to live in.

Early the next morning, Mr. Wen rushed over.

After discussing with Liu Zhiheng, he decided to offer fifty cold melons and one hundred muskmelons.

This number is not too much, but it is not too much.

The village hurriedly went to Dahuaishu Village to buy a lot of small baskets. Each small basket contained one cold melon or ten cantaloupe, which looked much neater and more delicate.

When picking melons, the village head specially carried Jiayin to the melon field.

Although he followed suit yesterday, he was still afraid of picking the wrong thing for such a precious thing.

Jiayin ran around in the fields, and the village head led people to pick whatever the little finger touched.

Liu Zhiheng looked surprised, and asked Mrs. Cui, "This little girl from the Li family is only two years old, right? Isn't she a little too..."

Mrs. Cui watched Jiayin grow up, so she didn't find it strange, so she smiled, "Fu Niu is smarter than ordinary children, and she is born gluttonous, so she is superior to ordinary people in this respect. She also snatched the first prize from the field mouse yesterday. A melon is not only ripe, but also very sweet."

Liu Zhiheng was amazed, Suijintan is really a place of geomantic omen, why is everything unusual.

Opening up barren mountains can dig out hot springs.On the worst riverbank, cold melons and muskmelons grow.

Even the little doll raised is so smart...

Soon, the cold melon and muskmelon were picked.

A villager wanted to wash the soil on cold melons and cantaloupe, but Liu Zhiheng stopped him, "Don't wash it, it's not easy to store after washing, and it looks fresh this way. Just put the clean ones on top, and put some melons in the basket seedling."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, and after a busy pass, finally sent the cold melon and muskmelon to the carriage.

The village head and Li's second son changed into clean clothes. They were three parts nervous and seven parts excited, and followed Liu Zhiheng and Mr. Wen into the palace to offer melons.

The villagers are thinking about it all day long, and when they are working, they always have to look at the intersection.

And all the old people and children in the village, as long as they don't have important jobs in their hands, are scattered in the melon fields.

No outsiders are allowed to approach, and when they see small animals and voles, they will kill them all, leaving no one behind.

At dusk, the carriage finally returned.

The village head and Li's second son were so happy that they walked like stepping on cotton.

The villagers surrounded them and asked in a hurry, "What's the matter, did the emperor eat our cold melon?"

Mr. Wen was afraid that the village chief and the others would not understand, so he smiled and said, "The emperor not only ate it, but was also very happy. He said that we are good people in Tianwu. We have built a new home and grown such good melons and fruits. The emperor Give the cold melon the name Jasper, and the muskmelon the name Jinguo."

Liu Zhiheng immediately said, "Don't look at the emperor didn't reward anything, only these two names are heavy treasures. From now on, the Tianwu family will grow cold melons and muskmelons, and your Broken Gold Beach will be the best part. Don't worry about selling them. And it’s definitely overpriced.”

The villagers were ecstatic when they heard it, and they all knelt down in the direction of Xindu, shouting long live.

"Long live the emperor! Thank you, the emperor!"

"Jasper melon! Golden fruit! The emperor really knows how to choose names."
