Xiang Nan traveled outside for half a month and visited half of the Guanzhong area, which also broadened his horizons a lot.
I have to say that the lives of the people today are really hard.
?Most people are in a state of hunger. Very few can eat three meals a day, and many can only eat two or even one meal a day.
The food he eats is also very poor. Originally, Xiang Nan thought that eating porridge was already considered miserable, but there were still many people who ate bark and wild vegetables. They peeled off the bark, crushed it and ate it as flour.
Hence, all faces are sallow and thin, and the face has a sallow complexion.
?In addition, along the way, there were many people who sold their sons and daughters. Selling like that in the market is the same as selling pigs or sheep, as if people are just livestock.
When Xiang Nan saw it, he felt sad in his heart.
? Comparatively, the lives of those dignitaries in the city are so extravagant and extravagant that I can’t bear to look at them directly.
??They eat and drink in big restaurants, take foreign cars to visit brothels and hold parties. A bottle of foreign wine costs hundreds of oceans, a piece of jewelry costs thousands of oceans, and a car costs tens of thousands of oceans...
Living a life of music and entertainment every night, it seems like we are in two different worlds from the common people.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn''t help but sigh.
The wine and meat in Zhumen smells bad, and there are frozen bones on the road.
…
Half a month later, Xiang Nan ended his travels and returned to Bailuyuan.
Since then, he has become much quieter.
No longer expresses opinions freely on current affairs, nor does he show his opinions easily. He only tells the outside world that he wants to practice asceticism in seclusion.
Despite this, the Laozu Temple is still very popular, and it is still the most trusted temple among the people within a radius of hundreds of miles.
…
Two months later, the poisonous seeds planted by Bai Jiaxuan bloomed with bright red, white, and pink flowers, which dazzled the villagers.
?However, the villagers don’t understand why Bai Jiaxuan planted such a field of flowers. After all, the flowers can only be looked at and cannot be eaten as food.
While the villagers were confused, Bai Jiaxuan was already preparing to brew the poison.
?That night, a strange aroma filled the village, which shocked the villagers.
“What is it that smells so good?”
“What do the Bai family cook at night? The New Year pork stew is not so fragrant.”
“You are not old enough, what kind of meat are you stewing? I think there must be something weird about it.”
Turning around, the villagers were talking about it.
??Bai Xing''er secretly found Lu Zilin and revealed Bai Jiaxuan''s background to him, "Lu Xiang, I know what Bai Jiaxuan has done~"
“What?” Lu Zilin asked curiously.
“Smoke.” Bai Xing’er said.
Lu Zilin was startled, "I don''t dare to talk nonsense. How did you know?"
“I’ve tasted it outside, and it tastes the same as this.” Bai Xinger explained.
Lu Zilin was stunned for a moment.
…
Turning around, Lu Zilin followed Bai Jiaxuan into the city and saw him enter a drug store in the city.
?He inquired later and found out that, as expected, Bai Jiaxuan was selling that thing.
So when he returned to the village, he spread the propaganda and the villagers suddenly became aware of it.
When Bai Jiaxuan came back from the city, Lu Zilin led people to greet him, "Jiaxuan, have you gone to the city to sell medicine?"
"What?" Bai Jiaxuan was stunned, "How did you know?"
"What kind of medicine can you sell? Tell the villagers everything." Lu Zilin asked again.
"Is there any medicine for the disease?" Bai Jiaxuan glanced at everyone''s eyes and said casually, and saw that everyone''s expressions were a little subtle.
"What kind of medicine is it so secretive?" Lu Zilin laughed, and casually picked up Bai Jiaxuan''s robe, and immediately pulled it to the ground.
Immediately, two silver coins wrapped in red paper rolled out of the sack, and the white silver coins immediately scattered on the floor. “…” All the villagers present took a breath of cold air.
?How many people have never seen so much money in their entire lives.
??The so-called good wine reddens people''s faces, and wealth and silk move people''s hearts. For a while, everyone''s eyes were straightened.
“Ah, what are you doing?” Bai Jiaxuan said angrily, quickly got out of the car and picked up the silver dollar.
"Nothing, I''m happy for you." Lu Zilin said with a playful smile, "Oh, Jiaxuan has become famous. How can you sell such medicinal materials for so much money?"
?Bai Jiaxuan ignored him and concentrated on picking up the money.
?But this matter can no longer be hidden.
…
?Subsequently, the villagers of Bailu Village gathered at the ancestral hall and asked Bai Jiaxuan to give up the seeds so that they could plant them too.
“You are the leader of the clan and you can’t eat alone.”
“If your clan leader sows, we will also sow!”
“Everyone has to pay so much tax, and there is no money in hand. Why don’t you give this seed to everyone, so that everyone can make some money.”
The villagers spoke one after another.
But Bai Jiaxuan refused to give up.
He got this kind of seed from Hu Ji Pharmacy, shopkeeper Hu.
He also knew that this stuff was not good, so he did not dare to sell it randomly. If he did sell it, he would sell it to Shopkeeper Hu for making medicinal materials.
But he knew that the villagers would not be as principled as him and would not just sell to the drugstore. Therefore, once we let them go, it will be difficult to manage them.
When the time comes, it will be sold to anyone. It''s okay to sell it to a drug store, but the worst thing is to sell it to cigarette pipes, and you don''t know how many people will be harmed.
So he refused to give the seeds to the villagers.
It''s just that the villagers are greedy, and he can''t stop him even if he wants to.
Although he tried to stop it, the villagers still decided to plant it. After all, no one left it without making money.
??Moreover, Lu Zilin fanned the flames and clamored that he was responsible for anything that happened, so the villagers turned around and went to the city to look for seeds.
??Bai Jiaxuan knew that the root of this disaster had been planted, and next year, the whole plain would be covered with such flowers.
It’s just that it’s too late to regret it now. Not to mention the villagers, even he himself, looking at the white silver ocean, is reluctant to make money.
…
Sure enough, in the next year, everyone in the village planted those poisonous seeds in their best land.
Only corn and millet were planted in the broken land.
Xiang Nan sighed when he saw this.
Although the villagers grow that stuff, they can indeed make some money by selling it in a short period of time. But in the long run, they are just drinking poison to quench their thirst. Not only will they not make a fortune, they will have to pay the heaviest price in the end.
As expected, after autumn, the villagers who had made money began to enjoy themselves as much as they wanted.
Money is this thing, easycomeeasygo! It''s easy to come by, and it doesn''t hurt to spend it.
?The villagers obtained one acre of land, which could be exchanged for ten acres of grain, and each of them became rich and had living money in their hands.
As for the so-called "fullness, warmth, lust, and lust", after getting rich, people have more desires, and the land gradually becomes chaotic, and the atmosphere begins to gradually deteriorate.
There are people who gather together to make money, some who practice usury, some who listen to pornographic shows, some who climb onto the widow''s bed, some who are petty thieves, some who cheat and kidnap, and some even draw their own money...
Eating, drinking, looking around, gambling, smoking, cheating, abducting, stealing, all the ten poisons are gone.
Xiang Nan saw it in his eyes and sighed in his heart.
He knew that these villagers could not make a fortune by growing that kind of thing.
Because people cannot make money beyond their own knowledge. These common people have never seen the world. They have been digging in the soil for thousands or hundreds of years. They are used to living in poverty. They cannot save money even if they have it. They only spend it frivolously.
??Just like those people who got huge sums of money from demolition, they rushed to buy cars, luxury watches, and luxury goods. They ate, drank, gambled and smoked. In a few years, they had all the money, and each of them was still in debt.
