Contract Wife Runs away from the CEO

Yin Yinuo was extremely surprised.

She has figured out the income level of the people here.

The output per acre of land, excluding costs and personal consumption, can be exchanged for about one thousand yuan in cash.

Each household has 20 to 30 acres of farmland. On average, the average annual net profit from the upper-class fields, middle-class fields, and lower-class fields is about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

But it is very expensive for them to buy the salt and sugar necessary for life.

In the outside world, a bag of table salt that costs one dollar sells for as much as fifty dollars here.

This means that after deducting daily necessities from the two to thirty thousand yuan, there is almost nothing left.

Moreover, there are many children here, and every family has to save money to marry a wife and have children.

So no one thinks of spending so much money to study.

Anyway, after studying, you have to farm, so it is better to just farm.

Xiaocao pinched her braid and said, "Brother Gu, if you can read, you can definitely find a job in the town. It will make a lot of money every month."

Yin Yinuo reacted immediately.

Yes, you can go to the town to inquire about information, and maybe you can figure out the secrets of this town faster.

Yin Yinuo smiled and said, "Am I new here? People don't want to use a stranger like me."

Xiaocao nodded: "That's true, it also depends on the opportunity. By the way, Brother Gu, I want to find an embroidery sample. Can you write a few words for me to make my embroidery sample?"

"Okay, no problem." Yin Yinuo smiled and nodded.

When it comes to writing, it doesn't matter whether it's Yin Yinuo, Mi Xiaoying or Jing Shaohuai.

There are calligraphy classes at the Saintia Noble Academy.

Copying calligraphy is a required course.

When Yin Yinuo was chatting with Xiaocao, the people around him came up curiously and asked, "Since Brother Gu is literate, can you write a letter for me? My mother-in-law is about to give birth, and I really can't. I can’t leave and can’t inform my relatives one by one. Just write a letter for me and ask someone to deliver it.”

Yin Yino paused.

Ah, this fucking world.

This is a world without mobile phones and the Internet!

"Okay, no problem." In order to integrate into this Lijia Village as soon as possible, helping the villagers is a necessary move.

After hearing Yin Yinuo's answer, the villagers gathered together and asked Yin Yinuo for help.

As long as it can be done, Yin Yinuo agrees to everything.

The look in Xiaocao's eyes when she looked at Yin Yinuo became more and more intense.

In China, throughout the ages, people have always respected scholars.

In the past, scholars could take the exam to be a scholar, be a scholar, be a Jinshi, be a champion, or be a high official.

That is the channel for class advancement.

In the morning he was a farmhouse man, and in the evening he ascended to the Emperor's Hall.

Later, after this group of people moved to Liushen Town, although they could no longer serve as officials of the emperor, those who had studied could work in the mayor's factory and earn a lot of salary.

So people in the village still envy those who can read.

However, studying is too expensive.

Most people can't afford it and are reluctant to read it. In the end, only a few wealthy people will send their children to private schools in the town.

The children of these families will work in the town to make money, and then pass it on from generation to generation.

A small closed loop is formed.

Now I heard that the three young people who had just moved in were all literate, so they were very excited and started asking questions around Yin Yinuo.

Everyone helped fetch water and sent it back together. Then they all gathered around Yin Yinuo and begged him to help write a letter home.

Mi Xiaoying watched in surprise as Yin Yinuo sat at the table and started to help write letters one by one. Then she watched the villagers deliver eggs to each other as a reward, which instantly filled the kitchen.

Yin Yinuo finished writing the last letter, sent away the last villager, and said proudly to Mi Xiaoying: "Look, I can feed you without having to work in the fields."

Mi Xiaoying burst out laughing: "Yes, yes, you are the most capable."

Yin Yinuo lowered his voice and said: "I discovered a problem today. In addition to using myths to control the villagers, the Zhang family in Liushen Town also used cultural rule to firmly control these people. The more people do not read , will become more ignorant. The Zhang family has a firm grasp on cultural resources, and others have no chance to come into contact with books. Naturally, they will not know how attractive the outside world is, and they will naturally have no interest in leaving here and going outside. Life."

"It's obvious." Mi Xiaoying said while lighting the fire and cooking; "The rule of mythology and the rule of culture are originally different paths to the same end. Look, this is just the beginning. There are probably many things that we have not discovered."

"And I think that even if they have the opportunity to come into contact with books, the Zhang family will not tell them how wonderful the outside world is." Yin Yinuo said.

Mi Xiaoying nodded in agreement: "That's for sure. Once they know that the outside world is wonderful, what should they do if they risk their lives to get out? Therefore, education to fool the people must exist. The Zhang family will brainwash them, outside The world is terrible, a hell of people eating people, so it is most comfortable to hide in a corner here. Originally, they have lived here for so many years and have become accustomed to the rhythm of life here. Even if they don't go out, they won't feel anything. Having food, clothing, and raising children, nothing is wasted.”

"By the way, someone just reminded me that I can find a job in the town. Maybe I can find a chance to get close to the Zhang family and find out the real reason why this town is blocked. Do you think I should give it a try?" Yin Yinuo asked.

"Don't act rashly for the time being." Mi Xiaoying shook her head disapprovingly and said, "The Zhang family has ruled here for three hundred years and must have its own intelligence network. The three of us appeared in Lijia Village, which was sudden enough. Even if we do anything that is not in line with common sense, they will find out. Let's take a long-term view."

Yin Yinuo felt that it made sense, but he was a little unwilling.

The secret was right in front of him, but he couldn't reveal it.

"I don't know how Shao Huai is doing." Mi Xiaoying said, "I hope everything will go well."

Time passed in a flash, and a month passed.

The whole land was green, and the seeds that should be sown had been planted in the fields, and the farmers began to look forward to another year.

During this month, Jing Shaohuai farmed in an orderly manner, Mi Xiaoying did housework steadily, and Yin Yinuo worked diligently in the village.

Yes, Yin Yinuo found a job and became the accountant of Lijia Village, specializing in calculating various income and expenditure for the village chief and villagers.

Her job was sometimes available, so the pay was unstable.

Sometimes it was five kilograms of coarse grains, sometimes a handful of eggs, and sometimes a bundle of green vegetables, which were all produced by the villagers themselves.

In places without disease and education, the countryside is a small economic closed loop.

Grain, vegetables, and eggs are all self-sufficient.

Soy sauce, vinegar, etc. can also be made by yourself.

Salt, which needs to be highly purified, can be purchased in the town.

Some farmers will grow some cotton, and some will weave, using the very primitive hand-cranked spinning wheel to weave cloth and make clothes.

Every household raises pigs, with as few as one or two and as many as four or five.

Basically, the meat for a year is enough to meet the needs of a small family, and the surplus can be sold to restaurants in the town.

So you really don’t spend much money in the countryside, except for weddings and funerals.

“Brother Xiaohuai.” A voice sounded from behind Jing Shaohuai: “I brought you some fresh wild vegetables, whether it is making vegetable balls or soup, it’s all good.”

Jing Shaohuai looked back and saw that it was the village chief’s youngest daughter, Li Xiaomeng, who was just fifteen years old this year and had just begun to grow taller.

In the outside world, fifteen years old is considered a junior high school student, but here it is already the age to talk about marriage.

“Sister Xiaomeng, you brought me wild vegetables again.” Jing Shaohuai stood up, patted the mud on his hands, and said, “I’m so sorry, I always bother you.”

Li Xiaomeng looked at Jing Shaohuai with a red face.

Although Brother Xiaohuai is a foreigner, he looks so handsome!

They are obviously farmers, but why does Brother Xiaohuai look so imposing, not like a farmer at all, but like a young man in the town.

"It's okay. There are plenty of them in the fields anyway. I'll pick them for you while I'm herding sheep." Li Xiaomeng carefully glanced at Jing Shaohuai again and again, and the more she looked, the more reluctant she was to look away.

How could Jing Shaohuai not notice Li Xiaomeng's gaze?

He just pretended not to notice.

"Why did your family suddenly raise so many sheep this year?" Jing Shaohuai asked casually, "You must release quite a few every day, right?"

"Well, Daddy said that the Zhang family in the town suddenly bought a lot of mutton this year, so they raised a few more." Li Xiaomeng said, "It's the same whether you release one or ten. There's enough grass on the mountain."

Jing Shaohuai blinked his eyes, "Is the Zhang family in the town buying mutton?"

"Yes." Li Xiaomeng said, "In previous years, they also bought a lot of beef. But oxen are treasures of every household, who would be willing to slaughter them and sell them for meat? Mutton is different, it can't be used for plowing or pulling goods, so several families have raised a lot more."

Jing Shaohuai rolled his eyes and said, "Maybe mutton will be used in this year's sacrificial ceremony?"

"It's possible." Li Xiaomeng answered without any ulterior motives: "I heard that some people in the Zhang family are fighting for the blessing of the gods. They are said to have fought."

Jing Shaohuai's eyes suddenly lit up: "Fighting? Who is fighting whom?"

"I don't know either." Li Xiaomeng was about to speak when someone called her from a distance. Li Xiaomeng put the wild vegetables in Jing Shaohuai's hand and said reluctantly: "My mother called me, I'll go back first, don't forget to eat!"

"This is a thank you gift for you." Jing Shaohuai took out a handful of fruit candies from his pocket without hesitation, stuffed them into Li Xiaomeng's pocket, and winked at her: "It's a reward for your hard work."

Going home at noon, Jing Shaohuai said to Mi Xiaoying and Yin Yinuo: "Someone in the Zhang family is fighting for the qualification to go out. Obviously, someone is tempted by the 1 billion. Should we secretly add fuel to the fire?"
