Fortunately, the idea of ​​selling bamboo products was just a temporary attempt by Zhang Ran after discovering that Zhang Cuier woven bamboo baskets were good. Although everyone was very happy, even if they were not successful, there were still ways to catch fish in the fish cage, and at least they would not let everyone work in vain.

However, Zhang Ran also knew that as more and more people learned how to catch fish, the chance of catching fish will only become smaller and smaller in the future. Moreover, in order to allow everyone to catch fish and share this profit, Zhang Ran has now consciously reduced the number of new fish cages in his home. In the future, Zhang Ran plans to stabilize the number of fish cages at about 1120, and if there are more, others will not be able to catch them.

However, despite this, with the flow of Qingshui River, it will not be able to support everyone in the future to support their families. At most, they can only catch a little fish every day to meet the daily needs of a few families.

If you really want to make money by fishing, you can only go to a distance near big rivers such as the Wei River and Ba River. However, the big river is too far away from their Zhangli, and it takes too much time to go back and forth every day.

In general, fishing in a fish cage can only allow the elders of Zhangli to eat fish, and cannot make them rich.

Therefore, Zhang Ran must find a way to make money that is suitable for the general public as soon as possible, and will not attract the covetousness of the powerful and powerful, and can benefit the villagers in Zhangli.

Otherwise, when the craze caused by this fish cage fades, Zhang Ran's idea of ​​establishing prestige within the clan and stabilizing the basic market may be dashed.

Originally, the tofu that Zhang Ran made before was a good choice. If the method of making tofu was taught to the elders of the clan and turning Zhang Li into a "tofu village" that mainly produces tofu, it would undoubtedly be a good choice. But after Liu Ling got it, the tofu was obviously too shameful.

Moreover, because something happened to sell tofu last time, he was almost killed by Liu Ling, so Zhang Ran still has some fears, so many methods and "new inventions" Zhang Ran dare not show it now.

If you almost kill a tofu, you can make a profitable product such as "soap" and "glass" and sell it for profit, you will not be able to throw all your ashes out?

Liu Ling's blow gave Zhang Ran a deep lesson, which made Zhang Ran realize clearly that the era he lived in is no longer the peaceful era with sound laws in later generations.

In this era when upper-class powerful people dominate everything, no matter how much money or wealth ordinary people have, in the eyes of those "meat eaters", they are just grass mustard under their feet and pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

When the other party wants to kill you and eat meat depends only on the other party's appetite and has nothing to do with your own subjective wishes.

In the other party's opinion, is it possible to kill pigs and eat meat? It's ridiculous.

In fact, after truly understanding the current situation of all classes in this society, Zhang Ran suddenly realized that people like Liu Ling are actually the kind that are easier to deal with, and can be threatened with "moral kidnapping" and belong to the type that can "deceptively use the right way".

What is really difficult to deal with is the most fierce, cruel, and least "rules" that are the local tyrants and the "local tyrants and evil gentry" among them. They are the largest mountain above ordinary people like Zhang Ran.

Zhang Ran vaguely remembers that before the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the teacher was conducting research in his hometown in Hunan, he pointed out that for the tenants, small self-cultivated farmers and other poor people, the ones they really hate the most are not those big landlords, but those small landlords and nouveau riche who have just left their fortunes.

Why is this happening?

Because the big landlords have passed the initial and bloodiest primitive accumulation stage, their wealth has been passed down at least for one or two generations, and their needs have gone from the initial rapid accumulation of wealth to maintaining the current long-term wealth and stabilizing their own social status. Therefore, the big landlords often attach more importance to the social reputation of their own families in the local area, and generally do not over-explore the vassal tenant farmers, but instead "sometimes" help them when the other party is in trouble.

Of course, the reason for doing this is not because the other party is "kind" and the purpose is just to let your descendants work for him forever.

And those little landlords, because they had just completed their turn and were among the landlords, were still in the early stage of wealth accumulation. Moreover, because they knew the current situation of the lower class, they squeezed the people out in various ways. Ull-interest such as "donkey rolling" was just a little bit.

The cruel side of the "local tyrants and evil gentry" is the story of "the rooster crowing in the middle of the night" that everyone is familiar with.

The protagonist Zhou Bapi, the "Crying Rooster in the Midnight", is a "explosion household" of a small landlord who has just made his fortune and only has hundreds of acres of land. This kind of guy can come up with the damage that "learning Rooster in the Midnight" forces long-term workers to work in the middle of the night. His absurd behavior and cold methods make people laugh and shudder.

If Zhang Ran faces such a "local tyrant" who does not talk about "moral etiquette", only pursues interests, and does everything to accumulate wealth, even if Zhang Ran is eloquent, it will be useless!

"Any man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure! The wealth is touching! You still have to think carefully!"

Zhang Ran has absolutely no doubt about whether the landlords and powerful people and the "local tyrants and evil gentry" will take action and rob them because they are jealous of their business, or even kill people to seize goods.

Therefore, before completely winning the "people's hearts" of the Zhangli people, completing the "basic foundation" construction, and having enough self-protection strength, Zhang Ran would never make any luxury goods such as soap and glass or huge profits.

"What can make money but not attract attention, and can also drive the tribesmen to get rich together?"

"Bake bait, wheat rice, sweet bean soup. Beans can make tofu, so wheat can also be made into steamed buns for money!" Zhang Ran pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought that tinkering with wheat and steaming some steamed buns for money might be a good choice.

"Wheat rice, grind wheat and cook it with the skin." The wheat rice that people often eat nowadays are cooked with wheat, and the taste is worse than the bean soup made from boiled soybeans. Generally, the poor people do not eat it. Only low-class slaves will feed on wheat rice.

If Zhang Ran could lift the steamed buns and make them out, it would definitely make money. Moreover, wheat has an awkward position now, which is the end of the grain. It is usually something for slaves to eat or feed animals. The powerful people would think it was dirty at a glance... let alone eat this kind of "low-class food".

If Zhang Ran grind the wheat into flour and made into steamed buns and other foods, even if the powerful and powerful know that this thing may taste good, they will probably abandon it like a piece of shoes because of their face.

In this way, will it be possible to minimize the "attention" from the powerful and wealthy while making money, and will win Zhang Ran enough time to develop?
