Chapter 85 Helping Qi Yuan Implement the New Deal Reform
After communicating with Li Xiu, Qi Yuan seemed to have opened a new era in his understanding of the world. He used to think that being the head of the clan was like his father, doing his best to serve every villager, no matter what they wanted Help, as long as he can do it, he will do it, even if he can't do it, he will find a way to help them complete it, but what he didn't expect is that this is not completely right.

In Li Xiu's world, it turns out that everyone's thinking has advanced to such an extent that when everyone asks others to pay for themselves, he must pay for himself. He thinks that Li Xiu's method is very good, but it is undoubtedly It is a management challenge for them now, how can he start to communicate this issue with the villagers?

Is it to tell the villagers that he has no money and he needs everyone to raise funds to do something?How do you say this? If you say this, will everyone still believe him? Also, what Li Xiu said is right, he is the poorest person in Nanjiang Village.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan couldn't help laughing at himself, but now, the first thing he has to do is not to convince the villagers, but the most important thing is to convince the elders. Only when they approve of him can he be more confident in persuading other people.So he didn't even bother to have lunch with Li Xiu and the others, so he walked to the residence of the Great Elder.

After talking with Qi Yuan, Li Xiu went back to the yard and saw his friends fighting and grabbing food. He suddenly felt that this scene was very beautiful. At least he hadn’t felt so relaxed and happy for a long time. .

"Xiaofan, try this candy, it's really delicious, each one has a different fruit flavor, and the color is so beautiful, I can't bear to eat it." Baguio held A bag of fruit candy, while eating, revealing an expression of incomparable happiness, Li Xiu thought to himself, girls are really like this, as long as there are delicious things, all troubles can be forgotten.

As for Zhang Xiaofan, from a young boy who was ignorant and ignorant of everything, with only his senior sister in his eyes, to a young man who can take charge of himself and practice in the rivers and lakes with him, this was something Zhang Xiaofan never thought about before. I still remember that when I saw him for the first time, he looked stupid and dumb, completely inexperienced and ignorant of everything, but now, he also has someone he wants to protect , There are also people who want to protect even at the cost of their own lives.

Not to mention Baguio, Li Xiu used to think that she was an unruly and capricious young lady, and she had a bad temper, she liked to fight at every turn, and always bullied Zhang Xiaofan, just because Zhang Xiaofan was honest, but what he didn't expect was that, Just such a pampered eldest lady, in our era, she is a typical Bai Fumei. I never thought that she would even risk her own life just to save Zhang Xiaofan.

It seems that this period of time is an indispensable lesson in life for each of them.

When he saves Zhiyue, he will be able to experience everything in this world with his beloved like them. As long as they are together, there is nothing that can scare him.

"Why doesn't this Qiyuan give us food? I'm hungry. I don't like these little snacks that children eat." Tian Keyang said.

Speaking of Tian Keyang, Li Xiu still remembers that when he saw Tian Keyang for the first time, he felt that he was a wild man who shouted and killed all day long. He couldn't understand why someone was so violent. He still remembered that if he hadn't changed his mind He is faster than him, maybe he died in his hands long ago, but now, he has become their indispensable friend. He is a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. He is not unreasonable at all. On the contrary, he would do anything for his friends. If he hadn't protected Baguio in the southern border, Baguio would have been eaten by piranhas long ago. Yes, when Baguio came to his senses, he told everyone about this matter, which made everyone really admire him.

"Hero Tian, ​​lunch is ready. I'll wait for you guys to go and enjoy it. Please come with me." A butler of Qi Yuan led everyone to the dining place. Looking at the table full of food, Li Xiu asked: "Qi Yuan Woolen cloth?"

"He went to discuss things with the Great Elder, and he specifically told you that you don't have to wait for him, you eat first." The housekeeper replied.

Li Xiu guessed that Qi Yuan must have gone to the Great Elder to discuss what he told him today. It is indeed very difficult to promote the New Deal in one place, but no matter what, as long as Qi Yuan wants to do it, Li Xiu was willing to help him.

"Brother Li Xiu, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Li Xiu didn't sit down right away, or in a daze, Yun Xing asked.

"No, it's nothing, I'm just wondering when Qi Yuan will come over to eat with us, if he doesn't come, with so many meals, should we leave some for him, just in case he comes back later and hasn't eaten yet? You can eat it." While answering Yun Xing's question, Li Xiu sat down, picked up his chopsticks and prepared to leave food for Qi Yuan.

"Li Daxia, the patriarch specifically told you not to worry about him, he will have dinner with the elder before coming back," said the housekeeper.

"Yes, Brother Li Xiu, let's eat first." Yun Xing said and put a chicken leg into Li Xiu's bowl.

Yun Xing's father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, has finally recovered almost, and he can come out to have dinner with them.

"Brother Yun, how is your recovery? A few days ago, I had some personal affairs to deal with, so I didn't have time to visit you, but I heard they said that you are recuperating here and they will take care of you three meals a day. It's very good, so I'm relieved." Li Xiu said.

"Don't worry, I'm recovering very well now. I didn't expect Baguio girl to be able to jump up and down with such a serious injury. My old man just shed a little blood and still recovered for so long. He's really too old. Use it." Yun Xing Daddy said.

"Father, what are you talking nonsense about? In my daughter's heart, Daddy is always the most powerful person. I blame them for bleeding Daddy this time, otherwise Daddy would have recovered a long time ago." Yun Xing listened to Daddy saying that he was useless, Her heart suddenly felt sad. Since she was a child, she and her father had lived together for life. She couldn't imagine what he would do if his father got old or left him one day. He couldn't imagine it.

"Yes, Brother Yun, you are not old at all now." Zhang Xiaofan said.

"Hahaha, I have been with you young people for a long time, and I feel younger, yes yes yes, I am not old, I am not old, let's eat quickly."

So everyone talked and laughed and had lunch.

After dinner, everyone was discussing to take a walk around Nanjiang Village in the afternoon. They heard from the steward that there was a hot spring waterfall in the back mountain, so they decided to find it and soak in the hot spring. Just as everyone was about to go out, Li Xiu saw Qi Yuan come back dejectedly.

"Qi Yuan, what's the matter with you, is things not going well?" Li Xiu hurried up to ask Qi Yuan with concern, there was a tacit understanding between the two, although Qi Yuan didn't tell him why he went to the elders , but Li Xiu could also guess why he went.

So Qi Yuan shook his head, walked towards the bench without saying anything, just as he sat down, Xiao Fan brought him a glass of warm water: "What happened to you, come, drink a glass of water first."

Qi Yuan took the cup handed over by Xiaofan, took a sip of water, sighed and said, "I wanted to go to the elders to discuss the fundraising, but I think brother Li Xiu is right. And if we continue to develop steadily, as the core family of a clan, we can't always pay blindly. We need to balance the economy and let the villagers participate in the construction of the village. Now our family has no money, so brother Li Xiu gave I made a note and asked the villagers to spontaneously pay a part of the fees for me to research new things. After all, the things I made were ultimately for their use. But the elders said I was ridiculous, saying that several generations of patriarchs in Nanjiang Village met No matter how big the difficulty is, I solve it by myself. I never said that I want to kill the common people. I don’t think I’m going to kill the common people at all, but they don’t listen to me. And let me send you away immediately, I feel that I have no way to communicate with them normally, they are all grandfather and father's old subordinates, so naturally they don't trust me as the patriarch. Hey..." After finishing speaking, Qi Yuan went on I took a sip of water.

"I think I screwed things up, and on the contrary, I made it impossible for you to stay here any longer. I'm really useless." Qi Yuan continued.

After listening to Qi Yuan's words, everyone suddenly became quiet. No one was worried about whether he would stay or not. Instead, everyone was worried about Qi Yuan. It's such a pity.

"It's not important for us to leave. Don't worry too much. If it doesn't work, we can leave, but before we leave, I must let them know how good you are and how powerful you are. Since they choose you to succeed, then they will You must believe in your ability." After finishing speaking, Li Xiu patted Qi Yuan's shoulder lightly with his hand, which was a kind of comfort, but also a kind of encouragement, and also a kind of affirmation.

Qi Yuan looked at Li Xiu with some doubts.

As soon as Li Xiu said this, Zhang Xiaofan laughed, and he also said to Qi Yuan: "Qi Yuan, you can trust my elder brother, since he said so, he must have a way to help you, thinking that our Big Bamboo Peak did the same We were at the end of the ropes, and later brother Li Xiu helped us say that it is not an exaggeration to make money every day, so don't be too anxious, he will definitely help you."

"Then what are we going to do?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Haven't we sent electric lights to every household? We can do publicity, such as road shows, so that the villagers can see your research results. First of all, let them recognize that this is a good thing. Then we don't send them the lights for the time being, we just wait for them to come to ask for their own initiative, and then we don't want to ask for money, we say that there is no way to equip everyone with lights for the time being, we need to wait until you have more After buying more equipment, we can use it for everyone, so we have to leave the problem to the demand side, and if they want to get this light as soon as possible, they will naturally have to figure out their own way, don’t you think?” Li Xiu said.

"Oh... I see, you mean to let the villagers say they want it, and then they will take the initiative to pay for it?" Zhang Xiaofan said.

"Okay, Xiaofan, now I can keep up with my thinking rhythm." Li Xiu said.

"But even so, the villagers just bought the lamps they wanted, which didn't do much to improve our economic situation," Qi Yuan said.

"It depends on how you say it when you give everyone a road show. Then you have to tell everyone that due to the recent financial constraints, there is no way to bring you more and better things for the time being. I hope everyone can understand , then you will see what the villagers themselves say. In my judgment, I think that instead of looking for a breakthrough from the elders, it is better to directly face the beneficiaries of the results. Only they can personally feel the benefits of your things. It's their convenience that makes them willing to believe you and support you, what do you think?" Li Xiu said.

"The method can be tried, but I really don't know if it will be successful. After all, I don't know whether they support or oppose me. I always feel that I can bring them some new things through the bronze mirror. In fact, it didn't help them anything." Qi Yuan was still beating drums in his heart.

"When did you become so unconfident? Are you still that personable and confident Qi Yuan? Keep your spirits up, there are always more solutions than difficulties. It happens that we are free this afternoon, so let's discuss things in this road show together." Right." Li Xiu said.

"Okay, we agree, we will help you together." Yun Xing said.

Seeing that even Yun Xing supported him so much, Qi Yuan regained his energy instantly and decided to give it a try. Just like what Li Xiu said, there are always more solutions than difficulties, so he decided that instead of sitting here complaining about himself, he might as well fight. Get up your spirits and try a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

In this way, a group of people got busy. They chose a small vacant place in the center of the village, and built a small platform. Then Li Xiu asked Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Keyang to help Qi Yuan's small inventions, small researches, etc. All of them were moved out, and many of them were semi-finished products that had not been successfully researched. He hoped to let the villagers see more rarer and fresher things and arouse their interest, so that they would be more willing to help Qi Yuan to get these things out. Finished, after all, once these things are made, the biggest beneficiaries are them.

After a while, things were almost ready. Since it was afternoon, there were not many people on the street, so Qi Yuan ordered his subordinates to go door-to-door to publicize, saying that the patriarch had a new one. I want to show things to everyone. Sure enough, this method is very good. After a while, many people gathered around one after another.

"What are these things?"

"What did the patriarch ask us to do?"

"I heard that the bronze mirror has been recovered, and the patriarch has a new invention to show us."

"Is this going to send something to us all again?"

The villagers chattered, and Li Xiu and the others helped Qi Yuan organize things, big and small.

"Later, how do you go up and tell the big guy, do you still need me to tell you?" Li Xiu asked Qi Yuan.

"It shouldn't be necessary, this kind of scene can't help me." Qi Yuan replied.

"Since you said that, that's fine. Let's start with some small items, such as bicycles. Although you haven't finished this yet, I know the principle of this thing. You are in charge of the opening, and I will explain it to you in detail. How to use things." Li Xiu said.

"Really? That's really great. You also know how I made these things. I made them all according to the gourd. I really don't know what the principle is and what is the use. It would be great to explain to me, so let's start now." Qi Yuan said and walked to the stage.

At this time, the audience was already crowded, with three floors inside and three floors outside. Probably most of the villagers in the whole village had come.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. Villagers of Nanjiang Village, our bronze mirror has been found. I believe you already know this good news. We haven't made anything new for a long time. , also because I actually bought many raw materials from the bronze mirror. Since the bronze mirror was lost, I have no way to buy those raw materials. Winter is coming soon, which is another huge challenge for our Nanjiang Village. Everyone knows that our village is severely cold in winter, and there is a shortage of supplies, so every winter is the most difficult for us. In the past, we would cut down a lot of trees and prepare wood before winter for lighting and heating. , but in recent years there have been fewer and fewer trees in our village. If this continues, we will have no trees to block us from the sun in summer, and we will be very sad in summer..." Qi Yuan explain.

"Yes, yes, the patriarch is right."

"That's right, this summer is obviously hotter than last year's summer. In the past, everyone used the big tree at the entrance of the village to enjoy the shade after dinner, but after being cut down by Lao Li's family last year, we no longer have a place to enjoy the shade. Really Annoying."

The villagers at the scene agreed with Qi Yuan's words, and indeed felt that the bad weather and the destruction of nature were inseparable.

"So, with the help of this group of so-called foreigners, I finally researched something that can facilitate everyone's lighting, that is, the 'electric light'. With this electric light, everyone no longer needs to use firelight for lighting. If I If I remember correctly, there are fires caused by fire lighting in our village every year, the loss is too great, now I will show you how the electric light works."

After finishing speaking, Qi Yuan asked Li Xiu to put all the parts of the electric light up and put them away, and then they, Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Keyang, helped to carry out the generator that they had bought before, because Li Xiu had told Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Keyang in advance How to use Yang’s generator, so they put the generator away, and after Qi Yuan connected all the parts of the light bulb, they pulled the rope of the simple generator, and the generator immediately made a beeping beeping sound , the villagers standing in the first row were startled by the sudden sound.Then for the villagers, something magical happened. When Qi Yuan turned on the switch, the light came on.

"It's on, it's on, that glass ball is on."

"Yes, yes, that thing actually glows."

"It's amazing, I've never seen light like this, like the sun."

"Yes, yes, this is a little sun, so beautiful."

······
The villagers were so excited when they saw the light bulbs lighting up.

"Long live the patriarch, long live the team leader!"

Among the crowd, someone took the lead and started to call Qi Yuan, so one person, two people, three people, more and more people joined the shouting team, and the slogan of "Long live the patriarch!" can be heard everywhere in the streets of the whole village. .

Everyone gathered around the light bulb, cheering and dancing. The Great Elder who originally thought Qi Yuan was just messing around was also attracted by the crowd's shouts. He also came to the street in Chunlai from his home.His eyes lit up when he saw the light bulbs on the stage. He didn't expect that although Qi Yuan, who he grew up watching, always had a lot of weird ideas, but he was also really for the sake of Nanjiang Village. For the sake of the village name, he stayed silently among the crowd, watching what Qi Yuan would do next.

"Okay, okay, everyone be quiet, everyone listen to me." Qi Yuan was extremely proud when he saw everyone's reactions, and then he continued: "Everyone saw it too, this is the surprise I prepared for everyone. With this generator and this light bulb, we don't have to worry about lighting anytime soon, do we?"

"Yes..." Everyone returned in unison.

"Don't worry, everyone, I have many other surprises to show you." After saying this, Qi Yuan motioned to Li Xiu to bring up the bicycle.

So Li Xiu also brought up the bicycle. This bicycle was considered a semi-finished product because of the lack of a seat cushion, but fortunately, it did not affect the riding. Originally, when he saw this bicycle for the first time, the wheels were not even installed, but later With his help, Qi Yuan also installed the car tires.

"Brother Li called this thing a bicycle. As the name implies, I can ride it for travel. Now I will let Brother Li show it to everyone." I rode a bicycle and turned around a few times.

"With this bicycle, you don't have to walk from the entrance to the end of the village in the future. It can save you a lot of time, but it is only a semi-finished product now. Wait for your patriarch to buy a cushion and install it here. You can sit on it and ride, which is very labor-saving and convenient. For example, if you used to walk out an hour in advance to eat hot pot at the entrance of the village, with a bicycle, you only need to go out half a stick of incense in advance." Li Xiu said Demonstrate to everyone, while introducing to everyone the benefits of having a bicycle, the villagers who saw it were dumbfounded...
