Chapter 670 Homestead
Luo Sanzhuang listened to Su Ruoyun's words and nodded seriously, "Yeah."
They all knew that Sister Su was amazing, and it would be nice to learn even a little bit from her.
It would be their honor to be able to do something for Sister Su.
Luo Dazhuang and his two brothers all looked very motivated.
He looks very passionate and young.
Looking at the village chief and his wife, Su Ruoyun also felt that this family was very good, sincere, honest, simple and kind.
When Su Ruoyun first came here to look at the land, Luo Shicun also treated them seriously and did not make any comments.
The villagers are very warm and simple.
The reason why Su Ruoyun and Gu Lenghan chose this village to settle down was not because they disliked how dilapidated the village was, but mainly because they thought the customs of the people in this village were very good.
When Gu Lenghan looked at Su Ruoyun, he felt that there was a kind of light on his Ruoyun, as if the sun was illuminating the people around her.
After saying this, Su Ruoyun said, "By the way, Village Chief, I'd like to ask, if I want to build a house in the village, do I need to buy a homestead first and then find someone to build the house?"
The village chief was just excited about the news about the pharmaceutical workshop when he suddenly heard about building a house. He was stunned and said, "Miss Su, if you need a house in the village, you don't have to build one. We have a house in the village with three rooms and a yard. The space is neither too big nor too small, and the price is also cheap."
"My second brother and his family moved to the city a while ago, and asked me to sell their house here. I'll pay one or two taels of silver. The house is a bit old and no one has lived in it for a long time. The cabinets, bed and everything are still there."
"If Miss Su wants to build a house, the residential land here is not expensive. One mu of land costs two taels of silver. This is the price stipulated by the higher authorities. Because our village is relatively remote, the residential land is also cheap."
The village chief told the truth and did not hide anything.
He really wanted to give them away for free, but as the village chief he couldn't make any decision.
Their family wants to work hard to make money and also wants to buy residential land and build houses for their three sons.
However, the price of residential land is high, so they can only live frugally or hunt some prey to sell to earn some money to supplement their family income.
The reason why Shi Ye hunted so hard was to provide food for his family and to build a house.
Their house is really too crowded.
Gu Lenghan listened to this, his expression changed, and he said: "According to the regulations, the housing land in your Luoshi Village is 500 ancient coins per mu, which is half a tael of silver."
"For farmland, it's two taels of silver per mu, but residential land is not that expensive."
The village chief didn't understand why Young Master Gu said this. He whispered, "Our villages are under the jurisdiction of the mayor of the nearest city. The price for residential land is two taels of silver per mu, and for farmland, it's three and a half taels of silver per mu."
"So some fields are left abandoned, and we can't use them or plant anything indiscriminately."
“If you want to grow crops, you either rent or buy.”
As he said this, the village chief sighed.
"It was better more than ten years ago. More than ten years ago, when our king was still in power, he gave each village great authority. Villagers could divide up the fields in the village for planting. But later kings changed these rules."
"I heard that there is a new king now, and I don't know what the rules will be."
As he spoke, the village chief sighed.
Gu Lenghan has been busy dealing with some issues of the aristocratic families during this period, and has also taken control of the military power.
As for the detailed situation of ordinary people and the village, the people below did not report it in such detail, so Gu Lenghan naturally did not know it either.
It was only when I actually came to the village that I understood what was going on.
In such a situation, even if officials were sent to investigate and inquire, the villagers probably would not dare to tell the truth.
Su Ruoyun looked at Gu Lenghan.
Gu Lenghan nodded to her and told her to be patient.
I'll deal with this matter when I get back.
Some policies that benefit the country and the people should also be revised and implemented again.
"But our new king is very kind. He has reduced our taxes, and everyone feels much more relaxed now."
Gu Lenghan smiled and said, "Your king will understand things like taxes at a glance, and the people below won't dare to fool around."
As for the homestead and land prices, he did not actually look at them, so naturally he did not know the difference.
The village chief didn't understand this and just nodded and said, "Yes, the city lord probably wouldn't dare to fool the new king."
Luo Dazhuang said, "Father and mother, this shows that our new king is very good, but he just took the position and can't take care of many things."
After saying that, Luo Dazhuang looked at Gu Lenghan and Su Ruoyun carefully.
Su Ruoyun asked, "What's wrong? What are you worried about?"
Luo Dazhuang touched the back of his head and said with a chuckle, "Sister Su, you are from an aristocratic family. I heard that aristocratic families don't like our current king."
Su Ruoyun raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"I heard that our new king changed a lot of things, which harmed the interests of the noble families. But we like our king. In the past, we paid taxes and had less food left. Now, we villagers can keep a lot of food, and the taxes have been reduced a lot."
Su Ruoyun listened and sighed.
She looked at Gu Lenghan with admiration in her eyes.
She knew that he would be a very good king.
So they were right to come back.
Su Ruoyun said: "I also think the new king is very good. He dealt with some aristocratic families, but only some aristocratic families who oppressed the people. Some aristocratic families were not affected."
“Yes, yes…”
Luo Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Sister Su was not angry.
Su Ruoyun said to the village chief, "Then let's go and take a look at the situation of that house tomorrow."
If there is no problem, Su Ruoyun plans to buy it directly and do some simple repairs.
Easier than rebuilding.
Moreover, opening a pharmacy does not require a complicated building.
All you need to do is clean the house and build some boxes and cabinets to store the medicinal herbs.
"Yes, Miss Su!"
Luo Sanzhuang couldn't help but ask, "Will Sister Su come here often and live in that house in the future?"
They all looked forward to Sister Su coming often.
Su Ruoyun said: "I plan to open a store."
The village chief's wife was stunned. "Open a shop in the village?"
Su Ruoyun nodded, "Yes."
The village chief's wife hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "Miss Su, to be honest, our Luoshi Village only has about fifty households, with a total population of only about three hundred people."
"Although the village is not too big or too small, it is really remote. If we open a shop, no matter what we sell, I don't think anyone will buy it."
"Everyone would be so eager to break an ancient coin in half to spend it on a regular basis. Unless it's New Year or other festivals, no one would go shopping or go to the city. They would just eat whatever they have at home."
"Even these houses were built by everyone carrying stones themselves, and the villagers helped each other build them."
The village chief's wife said this for Su Ruoyun's own good.
She felt that Miss Su had helped them so much, they couldn't just say nothing.
Although some of the suggestions were inappropriate, she couldn't help but express her thoughts.
Su Ruoyun knew that the village chief's wife, Ma, meant well.
She said, "Aunt Ma, don't worry. I opened a pharmaceutical workshop nearby to make some ready-made medicines for the convenience of some villagers."
"I just wanted to see Ishino's condition, and I felt it was inconvenient that there was no doctor in the village."
"But it is indeed the case that there are few doctors in various parts of our royal court."
“Even if we arrange for doctors to come to the village, they may not be willing to see patients there.”
"It would be better to just make some ready-made medicines. For example, if you have a headache and a cold, clearly write down the medicine. If someone has a headache, they can just go to the pharmacy and buy the headache medicine. If someone has a stomachache, they can buy the stomachache medicine. If someone is injured and bleeding, they can buy hemostatic medicine. If they have a fever, they can take antipyretics..."
"It will be more convenient this way."
"At that time, we will arrange for someone in the pharmacy to remember the usage of all the medicines, and the instructions will be written on the medicines. This will provide convenience for everyone."
"Maybe it can save someone!"
"The person who runs the pharmacy doesn't need to be a doctor. We can just assign someone who can read to run the pharmacy and pay them a monthly salary. The medicines in the pharmacy are not expensive, they are all affordable, so that everyone in the village can afford them..."
Su Ruoyun told the pharmacy what it said.
It is also to see how accepting the village chief's family is.
It probably also reflects the acceptance of the villagers.
After all, people nowadays are used to seeing a doctor first and then getting medicine.
People may not believe in or be used to this model of buying medicine directly.
When the village head's wife heard this, she slapped her thigh and said in disbelief, "Oh, Miss Su, your idea is really great."
"If our village had such a pharmacy, it would be a great help to everyone."
"You don't know, it's inconvenient to buy medicine when people have a headache or fever, and the price is very expensive."
"Miss Su, you said the medicine is cheap. This is really convenient for everyone. Don't you know that seeing a doctor and getting medicine are expensive? There are consultation fees and medicine fees."
"If the villagers knew about this, they would be so excited."
“Just like Shi Ye’s situation, if it weren’t for you, Miss Su, he would probably have died. Aunt Shi’s family is still grateful to you now.”
As the village head's wife, Ma, spoke, her eyes became hot and red.
"My mother's hometown, Majia Village, is only three miles away from here, so it's not far. It will be very convenient for them to come to our village to buy and get medicine."
When the village chief realized what was happening, he also wanted to kneel down to Miss Su.
They didn't know how to thank Miss Su.
From now on, we don’t have to worry about anyone having a headache or fever in the village.
But they thought that Miss Su didn't like others kneeling, so they held back.
But it’s true that everyone is excited.
Su Ruoyun looked at the reaction of the village chief's family and understood that everyone could accept the situation where people just bought medicine without seeing a doctor.
“Will the villagers believe it?”
"That's for sure. Now everyone in the village knows that you, Miss Su, live in the village and saved Shi Ye's life. Everyone is curious and grateful, but they don't dare to disturb you."
"Our village is honest and the people are very nice. Many people have visited Shiye in the past two days. After seeing her, they all know that Miss Su's medical skills are amazing."
"Even Ishino knows it in his heart and wants to come and thank you in person, but it's not convenient for him to go out now."
"His grandmother and his brothers and sisters don't dare to disturb you."
"If it's a pharmacy opened by Miss Su, everyone will definitely believe in the efficacy of the medicine."
"When you have a headache or fever and can't find a doctor, you will definitely buy cheap and effective medicine if you can."
After hearing this, Su Ruoyun felt relieved.
It looks like when the pharmacy opens, the effect will be good.
This kind of pharmacy can only spread its reputation bit by bit through word of mouth.
She knew that there were many cities and villages throughout the Gulin Royal Court.
By then, pharmacies will be opened one after another.
Su Ruoyun looked at Luo Dazhuang and said, "Luo Dazhuang, do you want to work in the pharmacy? I'll pay you one or two taels of silver a month."
Su Ruoyun originally wanted to pay based on commission, but she felt that it would be unreasonable to pay based on commission over a long period of time.
She was worried that if more pharmacies opened in the future, the owners would sell medicine indiscriminately.
It would be better to just pay according to wages.
Luo Dazhuang stood up excitedly, bowed to Su Ruoyun and said, "Sister Su, I will do my best."
"But Sister Su, I can't read."
Su Ruoyun said: "I will teach you pinyin first. From now on, all medicines will be marked with Chinese characters and pinyin."
"Learn pinyin first, and then learn more characters. Even if you don't know the characters, you can understand the principles by reading pinyin. You have a good memory, and after a long time, you will be proficient in it. You can know the effects of the medicine and how to use it with just a glance."
Then she would create different shelves and place different medicines on different shelves.
It’s just like when Aunt San opened a library.
There are many different books in the library, but it is very convenient for Aunt San to arrange the books on the shelves according to different categories.
If you want to find a certain type of book, you can search on different shelves, which is faster.
Luo Dazhuang nodded seriously and said, "Sister Su, I will definitely study hard and do it well."
Luo Erzhuang and Luo Sanzhuang also asked with anticipation: "Sister Su, can we learn too?"
Su Ruoyun said: "Of course, when I teach pinyin, you can all learn along."
The village chief and his wife also wanted to learn.
Su Ruoyun usually teaches together.
It is easier to be a manager if you know a lot of things.
When I was in Liuhe Village, the people who had learned a lot and were more literate were more likely to be managers in the workshops because it was convenient for them to record things.
Moreover, she originally thought that it would be difficult for people to learn since they were illiterate.
But who would have thought that with the motivation of increased wages and bonuses, everyone would learn so quickly.
It was she who was eager to learn and worked very hard to learn from Aunt San.
She found that as long as she worked hard and was willing to learn, she would always learn something.
Anyway, after dinner, no one is in a hurry to rest.
Su Ruoyun lit candles and oil lamps, wrote down the pinyin table with a pen, and began to teach.
After teaching for a while, Su Ruoyun found that Luo Dazhuang really had a good memory and learned very quickly.
Luo Erzhuang and Luo Sanzhuang are also very smart.
The village chief and his wife learned slowly, but they were very serious.
Luo Dazhuang said, "Sister Su, this pinyin is really useful."
He feels happy when he learns something.
Su Ruoyun said: "This was researched by my third aunt."
Luo Dazhuang and the others looked at Su Ruoyun with admiration, thinking that Sister Su's third aunt was even more powerful.
They didn't know what Sister Su's third aunt looked like, but they imagined she must be more beautiful and powerful.
When Su Ruoyun mentioned her third aunt, she couldn't help but think of her third aunt.
I don’t know when I will receive a letter from Aunt San.
It was very late after teaching, so Su Ruoyun and Gu Lenghan went back to their room to rest.
After washing up, Su Ruoyun looked at Gu Lenghan and asked, "What were you sorting out just now?"
Just now she was teaching everyone pinyin, and Gu Lenghan was writing something.
Su Ruoyun didn't even know what he was writing.
Seeing Su Ruoyun's curiosity, Gu Lenghan handed her a few pieces of paper filled with words, "You'll know after you take a look."
