Chapter 181 It’s his turn to appear next
The patriarch was surprised after hearing this.
He couldn't help but say, "You mean, you pay for the lambs, and after they grow up, you only want the wool and fat."
"Can the villagers still sell you meat?"
"Then aren't you at a disadvantage?"
"If you raise a lot of sheep, just buying lambs would be a lot of money."
"No one buys wool and sheep fat. They are not worth anything at all."
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Wool and sheep fat are useful to me."
"Besides, I also want my people to have more income every year so they can eat better and wear warm clothes."
"I've said before that even if our family lives well, we will not forget our clansmen."
"I will lead everyone to live a good life together."
"So don't worry, Patriarch. Now that I've brought it up, you know what's going on."
She added: "My husband is from the Lu family, so I thought I would ask if there is anyone in the clan who wants to raise one."
"We will prioritize those in our tribe, and then other villagers."
Before the clan leader could speak, his wife smiled and said, "If that's the case, there must be a lot of people supporting them."
“My family wants to raise them all.”
You don't have to spend any money to buy them, and you get some lambs for free.
You only need to use wool and mutton fat to compensate, and you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell the meat. It’s such a good thing. Only a fool would not raise sheep.
Wulang's wife is capable and knows how to sign a contract, so there is no need to worry about raising her.
Nowadays, every household has many children. It is enough to let the children herd sheep every day, so that they don’t have to go out into the wild.
If you raise a few more, you can make a lot of money when they grow up.
Qiao Ye also took advantage of everyone's desire to get a bargain, and also because there was a surplus of labor during the off-season, so he proposed this kind of cooperation.
In this way, everyone will thank her for helping them make money.
The matter of the scumbag eunuch needs to be resolved, the clan's side is very important.
So she first offered sweet treats to the Lu family and tied them up with interests, and they would naturally stand on her side.
Besides benefiting these people, it can also meet the needs of her future workshop, which is a win-win situation.
"If Grandma wants to raise him, then do so. I support you."
She smiled and asked, "How many do you want to raise?"
Of course the clan leader’s wife wanted to raise the child, which is why she interrupted.
Hearing Qiao Ye's question, she smiled and asked, "How many can a family raise?"
Qiao Ye said: "You can raise at most twenty."
If there are too many, the family may not be able to support them.
"From one to twenty, if you want to raise a few, come to our house and tell us the number. After you sign the contract, I'll have someone go buy lambs together."
Then she changed the subject and said, "But I have to make it clear to everyone in advance."
"If you deliberately don't take good care of the lambs, or if you take them home and don't take care of them, and the lambs die, you have to compensate me for the lambs."
"Of course, if it was a normal situation like the sheep died of illness, then I wouldn't have to pay for it. I would just consider it my loss."
"Also, if the sheep are not yet grown, the owner will kill and eat them, or sell one to someone else, and they will have to compensate me for the lamb."
Of course, we must speak out in advance about these possible situations.
She couldn't waste the money she spent on the lamb.
"And those who take the lambs but don't take good care of them, or those who don't give me the wool and mutton fat as per the contract, we won't take them with us if we have any money-making opportunities in the future."
These must be included in the contract.
Then he added, "I will teach you how to raise sheep well, and I will also feed them medicine regularly to prevent them from getting sick."
"So death from illness is unlikely, so you can just rest assured and take care of your baby."
The clan leader and his wife both agreed with her words, "Yes, yes, we still need to make it clear in advance and write it in the contract."
They won't do that, but they can't guarantee that for other families.
The clan leader's wife took Qiao Ye's hand and smiled lovingly, saying, "You come to teach us how to raise the dog and give it medicine. We can rest assured."
The clan leader also said: "If anyone wants a lamb and doesn't take good care of it, I will intervene with the clan elders."
Wu Lang's wife took such good care of the Lu family members, they couldn't let her down.
Qiao Ye smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the clan leader to help me. Go ask each family in the clan."
"It's best to call the elders to discuss this together."
The clan leader nodded, "No problem, I will call the clan elders over to discuss this now."
After saying this, he asked his son to call the elders over.
While chatting, the elders came one after another and sat down.
The patriarch first told them that Qiao Ye wanted to buy lambs and let everyone raise sheep.
The elders of the tribe all agreed and supported it, and many people said that their families also wanted sheep.
However, there are also some issues related to one's own conditions, such as not being able to raise a pet or not wanting to raise one.
But they would not object, after all, this is a good thing for other tribesmen.
Qiao Ye said, "By the way, if you don't want to raise sheep, you can also raise bees."
"I will give a few boxes of bees to families who want to keep bees, and teach them how to do it."
"But the honey you produce must be sold to me and a contract must be signed."
Making honey pills consumes a lot of honey, and in the future, various toiletries will also be made, which will also add honey, beeswax, etc., so the demand will be huge.
Therefore, it is definitely not enough for her to raise the children by herself.
The main purpose of letting the villagers raise bees is to obtain the raw materials of honey and beeswax for future workshops.
Moreover, for the villagers, beekeeping and selling honey is also a way to get rich.
"If you don't want to raise sheep or honey, you can grow beets."
"I also harvest all the beets that I grow."
"Of course, raising sheep, raising bees and growing beets are not in conflict. Some families can choose all of them, or two out of the three."
Beets can be used to make sugar and can also be used to color.
If I want to make nougat or something like that in the future, I’ll need a lot of sugar. The sugar sold outside is too expensive, so it’s not cost-effective to buy it.
The weather and soil in the county are not suitable for growing sugarcane, but are suitable for growing sugar beets.
No one knows that beets can be used to make sugar, so few are planted.
Not even one family in their village grows it.
In another month it would be the autumn planting season for beets, so she just thought of letting the villagers plant them.
Not only in their village, but also if people from other villages want to grow crops, she can sign a contract to guarantee that she will pay for the crops.
The mountain she leased to herself is mainly used to grow medicinal herbs and a few fruit trees.
Take another piece of wasteland for breeding.
For things like beets, I don’t plan to grow them myself.
The amount of beets she wanted was huge, but she didn't have enough people at home to grow them herself, so she had to pay someone to do it.
When her husband passes the exam and goes to the county, she will probably follow him, so it is not suitable for her to raise the crops herself.
It is more convenient and saves trouble to collect the money directly, and it also allows everyone to continue to increase their income. It is good for you, me and everyone.
After listening to Qiao Ye's words and asking some related questions, the elders all smiled happily.
Not everyone is interested in raising sheep and honey.
But they all wanted to grow beets, after all, they were all old farmers.
Everyone kept praising Qiao Ye and his wife.
I also felt that the two of them were thoughtful.
They were happy and a little touched. After Wulang and his wife had a good life, they thought of helping their fellow tribesmen. It was so kind and rare.
I believe that when Wulang passes the imperial examination and becomes an official in the future, he will also think of his clansmen.
That’s about it.
Qiao Ye gave Lu Shao a look, and it was his turn to appear next.
Lu Shao nodded slightly to her.
It’s almost what the elders said.
Lu Shao looked at them with an embarrassed look on his face, "Chief, elders, today we are going to the city to discuss the sale of candles with those noblemen."
"But I heard a piece of news about my father that would have an impact on the reputation of our Lu family."
His expression turned a little ugly and sad, and he sighed, "It's a little hard for me to say, ah!"
The old ladies and wives in the village like to gossip, and in fact, the old men are the same.
Especially this news is related to the Lu family.
So they all looked at him and asked anxiously: "What's the news?"
"We are all your elders. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."
"Just tell us, we won't blame you."
