Chapter 400 Non-stop
In Shanqing County, Liu Hao and his colleagues are busy harvesting potatoes and peppers.
As the potatoes matured and became more and more eye-catching, people from the village came several times and asked them what they were planting.
Liu Hao explained that they brought the seeds back from the border, and after their family harvested the seeds, they would distribute some to the villagers.
This is also what Liu's father told him before he left. After the spring of next year, their family will plant crops on a large scale, and they have already found the prefect to serve as a backer.
After the harvest next year, reports will be passed up the chain of command, and this new grain will be vigorously promoted. They informed the villagers a year in advance, so the impact will not be significant.
The village chief of Shanqing Village has a good relationship with Liu Hao and his friends, and Liu Hao also invited the village chief to taste potatoes.
Therefore, the village chief knew that potatoes were a good thing. After receiving Liu Hao and others' assurance that they would give them some seeds, he was very grateful and took better care of their family.
In addition, it seems that their family has been living a prosperous life in less than a year since they arrived. I heard that they have already purchased a farm and land in the provincial capital, and they will go to the provincial capital to develop their business in the future.
The village chief was impressed by their family. With their connections, the villagers had a much better life. The villagers no longer had to go to the county town to sell their vegetables and eggs. The chickens and ducks raised by every household were all purchased by Liu Hao.
Therefore, when Liu Hao and his colleagues asked the villagers to help harvest potatoes, the strong laborers in the village worked particularly hard.
Looking under the green leaves, there are round, yellow potatoes hidden, and peppers hanging on the branches, red, green, and yellow, colorful and very beautiful.
The villagers who came to work got up early, had breakfast, and brought their own farm tools to Liu Hao's fields to help.
Everyone worked together, some dug potatoes, some picked peppers, and laughter echoed in the fields, forming a warm and harmonious picture.
After the harvest, Liu Hao kept his word and distributed some potatoes to every household in the village as he had promised.
"Liu Hao, what is the use of this pepper? Can you bring it to the villagers to plant?" After getting the potato seeds, the village chief looked at the baskets of dried peppers.
"Uncle village chief, this amount of pepper is too small. It is not very useful for you to grow it now, and it is also troublesome to grow. You can grow it later after it is promoted. Plant potatoes first. Not only can we eat potatoes ourselves, but we can also harvest potatoes at home."
As time went by, the villagers in Shanqing County began to grow potatoes and peppers introduced by Liu Hao on a large scale. They lived a prosperous life earlier than other nearby villages, and the villagers Liu's family were even more grateful, even though they had already left Shanqing Village at that time.
After harvesting potatoes and peppers, Liu Hao began to take care of the pigs in the pigsty.
The pig pen had almost no output in the first half of the year. The piglets only weighed a few dozen or a hundred kilograms after being raised for half a year. Now they barely weighed 150 to 180 kilograms.
This weight is simply not acceptable in modern pig farms.
It is said that this weight can be reached in three months and the pigs can be slaughtered in three months.
Liu Hao sold a pig in the county town every other day. Together with his three shops in the county town, a large batch of pigs in the pigpen were sold out after a month.
The rest will be sold three months later, before the New Year, when they will be easier to sell.
Liu Hao went to the county and bought a group of people back. He promoted Zhang Hu, who was bought first, to be the manager of the county. He was in charge of all matters in the county and divided the pig pen, chicken pen, rabbit pen, and the land in the back mountain into four groups, and promoted a group leader for each group.
Each group has three to five people, and the group leader manages the people below who do the work.
Among the people who bought it this time, there happened to be two who could read.
One was sent to the village to keep accounts, and the other followed Zhang Hu to keep accounts. Liu Hao came back once a quarter to check the accounts of the entire county.
Zhang Hu and others were very grateful for Liu Hao's arrangement. Liu Hao even sent Zhang Hu's son to study in Wan Xiucai's private school. He was a mute, but he learned to read and write. In the future, he would follow Zhang Hu to work as an accountant and would not have to worry about his future livelihood.
Among the people who bought it, there are families of three, five or even more.
Very early on, Liu's father arranged for his children to study in Wan Xiucai's private school, and then they would follow the family to work after they turned fifteen.
Liu Hao arranged the affairs of the county town. Besides the three brothers, the only people who went to the prefecture town together were Old Lady Li and Li Wan'er. Li Yao was good at studying and had unlimited potential for development in the future, so they would definitely take their whole family with them.
The same situation applies to Aunt Tian and Wei Honglian. Aunt Tian is doing very well in the shop in the county town and now independently manages the braised meat shop business. She and Wei Honglian have lived in the county town for a long time. When Liu Hao asked them to go to the provincial capital together, Aunt Tian was reluctant to leave.
Liu Hao told her that when they went to the provincial capital, his family would also have a braised meat shop, and there would be more and more shops in the future, and they would all be busy. Wei Songbai would also be in the provincial capital in the future, and might even go to other places. Aunt Tian happily agreed. She would rely on her only son in the future, and when they went to the provincial capital, maybe the host family could arrange a marriage for their daughter.
Chu Xiaolong also discussed with Gao Damei's family and decided to go to the city together to continue raising rabbits.
Widow Gao took her three daughters with her. She was extremely happy. In her previous village, they had a very difficult life. If it weren't for Gao Damei's strong and aggressive personality, they would not have been able to survive in the village.
Now, the family is leaving here, and the eldest sister's marriage has been settled. She found such a good family. She didn't know how many times she cried secretly, but finally the suffering has paid off.
You know, Gao Damei is already 19 years old this year. Who knows what people say about her behind her back? She can only worry and feel distressed.
Fortunately, God arranged a good home for her poor daughter. She can die with peace of mind.
Liu Hao went to the dock and rented a whole boat to go to the provincial capital.
At the end of October, Liu Hao hired a fleet of cars in the county town to transport all the potatoes and peppers packed in sacks to the dock. As the sacks were loaded onto the ship one by one, Liu Hao stood on the deck, looking at the heavy cargo in front of him, with a vision for the future in his heart.
The sunlight slanted across the sparkling water, giving a golden layer of hope to the upcoming journey.
With the boatman's shout, the boat slowly left the dock and headed towards the distant city.
Along the way, the scenery on both sides of the river slowly unfolded like a picture scroll. The green fields, the scattered farmhouses, and the occasional flying birds all made Liu Hao gradually relax.
