Chapter 139
Li Xiao also sighed at the rapid spread of the news.
He had just decided to build a cooperative to raise cattle, but the news had not been announced yet, and the entire Lanxi Township had spread quickly.
In the evening at the end of ten days, the sunset is red and the sunset is like blood.
He was still thinking about preparing some local products and going to see the old demon king Cheng tomorrow to see if he could ask the Cheng family to help buy a thousand handfuls of plowing oxen. As a result, Zhuang Han and the others who received the news flocked to him.
The Li family compound was soon blocked.
“It’s coming so fast.”
"No, you can use cows for free by helping raise cattle. There is no such good thing in the world. If you don't come quickly, you will be afraid that you will have no chance if you are too late." Dr. Zhao sighed at the villagers blocking the door.
"It's good that we're here. If we are losing money, we'll send someone to notify us, and it happened to be announced in front of everyone."
"Sanlang, do you really want to form a society to raise cattle?" Mr. Zhao was still a little distressed. This was a little too great.
"Don't worry, we won't lose money either. I, Li San, won't do any loss-making business."
"Biaozi, you have a loud voice. You can announce to everyone about association and cattle raising for me." Li Xiao shouted to Da Biao.
“Good class.”
Da Biao was very happy to accept such errands. It was undoubtedly a very respectful thing to announce these good news in front of everyone.
"Everyone is quiet, quiet, Sanlang has good news to be announced, please listen to me."
Biaozi yelled loudly, and everyone who was originally noisy and nervous immediately became quiet.
Everyone stood there with anticipation, waiting for news from the Li family. After hearing the news, they rushed over immediately. Some of the families were far away, even running all the way. In the season of spring breeze, they even ran soaked all over and smoked from their heads.
But everyone doesn't care about this. As long as the news is true, they will run from Lantian to Chang'an, and everyone will be happy.
"Sanlang, let's talk." Da Biao looked at everyone's expectant eyes and turned to Li Xiao. He knew everyone's mood. Some words were different from those from Li Xiao's mouth.
"Okay." Li Xiao also understood everyone's mood at this moment.
He walked up and glanced at the crowd in front of the yard. There were at least thousands of people in Wuyang. These were basically Lanxi villagers, and some of them were not from their hometowns. They rushed over after hearing the news.
"Dear elders and fellow villagers, I believe everyone came here after hearing the news about the establishment of a cattle raising. To be honest, I didn't expect everyone to be so active in this matter. I originally planned to notify everyone tomorrow, but since everyone is already eager to know the news, I will inform everyone in advance."
"First of all, I am indeed planning to set up a cooperative. The purpose is to cooperate and help each other. The first thing a cooperative is to raise cattle."
As soon as these words were said, everyone who was extremely nervous was looking forward to it and couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed not in vain. They really wanted to run a club and raise cattle.
"Sanlang, is it really a free gift?" someone couldn't help but shout.
Li Xiao smiled.
"Raising cattle is true, but it is not sharing cattle. To be precise, it is to raise cattle together. As for me, I took the lead in forming this club, and everyone volunteered to join in. I paid for the cow, and then the members came to me to claim a cow and took it home as long as they were well fed, so that they could use the cow for free when the farming period was busy."
"Wow!"
There was a sound of marvel below.
"Sanlang, can anyone join the club?"
"Sanlang, I want to adopt a cow!"
The momentum is no longer controlled below. Everyone is almost crazy to hear that they can get a bull by joining the club.
"Everyone, calm down!"
Biaozi stepped forward and yelled twice, finally calming everyone down again.
"My fellow villagers, I know everyone's excitement at this moment. The specific operation of holding a cow is actually very simple."
"First of all, members of the cooperative joining this time are temporarily limited to Princess Lantian. As long as they are princesses, they can join the cooperative, but each household has only one quota, so one household is only limited to one cow."
As soon as this condition comes out, some people are happy and some are sad.
Only princesses can join the community, and only one cow can be obtained by joining the community, and only one cow can be obtained by one household. These conditions are very clear and straightforward, but they still blocked many people outside the cooperative's door.
Although the princess has 800 enfeoffers and is all in Lanxi Township, Lanxi Township is not all enfeoffers of the princess. Among the people who came at this time, many of them were not enfeoffers of the princess.
When many people heard this restriction and heard that they had lost the qualification to join the community to get a bull, they were so anxious that their eyes turned red.
"Everyone, I also want more villagers to join the club and everyone can get the cow. However, Li is limited in ability and can only do this for the time being. I hope you all understand."
Eight hundred households, even if one household is one cow, it will cost eight hundred. What's more, a large landlord like the Li family actually needs a lot of cows at home.
But there were still many men who were excited and begging Li Xiao to let them join the club. Some people even knelt on the ground. According to convention, if they rented cattle from other landlords, they had to rent cattle, and generally had to have about 10% of the harvest, and the cattle rent was very high.
If you can join the club, you can save this amount of cattle rent in a year. Raising a cow does not require much energy, nor does it cost. Children at home can take good care of the cow. Usually, it is just a matter of building a shed and cutting some grass. A boy who can't do much work can save 10% of the harvest for the family. Everyone can calculate the account.
"Everyone, Li really doesn't have this ability, sorry."
The qualifications for joining the club are only for princess bans. In addition, what Li Xiao has not disclosed is that the Li family's tenants can also join the club and can also adopt plowing cattle for free.
This is a preferential benefit for your own tenants, and you don’t have to say it in public here at this time.
The more capable you have, you will do the big things first. Li Xiao can't afford to buy too many cows for the time being, so he can only take only a few people to join the club.
Although this is a bit unfair to other villagers, Li Xiao’s association is also helpful, and it is impossible for everyone to help.
Everyone is very happy that he can understand him. If he thinks that Li Xiao is unfair in his work, and he still complains, he has no choice. For such a person who cannot understand and does not know how to be grateful, he feels that it is no pity that he has not helped.
"Everyone, we are free to form associations, and we will join voluntarily and never force them. Join the cooperative, and we will not force them, nor do we require money to be paid. After the cooperative is established, we will discuss whether to establish a cooperative warehouse. Each household will pay a certain amount of grain to deposit it into the warehouse every quarter, as a charity warehouse in the society, for the purpose of relief in the time of famine, or as a food for the help of widows in the society in the future."
In addition to raising cattle, Li Xiao proposed a plan to cooperate with warehouses, which is similar to the charity warehouse in the county. In fact, it is also to increase reputation in the future. After all, it is a good deed to help the lonely and widowed people, and the target is people in the cooperative, so everyone can accept it, which is considered as watch over and helping each other.
Those who are qualified to join the club naturally agree on these.
What everyone is more concerned about is when to join the club, what procedures and ceremonies will be left in the club, and when will we get the cow again?
