Now that we have mentioned the village of Shengganliu, let’s start the story from here. The village of Shengganliu is actually a very inconspicuous little village. It is so small that even a child can walk from the east to the west in the time it takes to urinate.

But this small village is famous far and wide. That’s because the villagers here are good at making scales. Every household in the village makes a living by making scales. There is always an iron smell in the sky above the village. That’s because the villagers are turning sand to cast weights. The products produced here are

Wooden steelyard scales are fine in texture, accurate and durable, and have formed the "Liuliu" brand, which enjoys a high reputation across the country. When it comes to steelyards, no one will not give their thumbs up. It can be said that there are ten wooden steelyards circulating in the market.

Eighty-nine of them are produced here, and this craft has made the villagers' money bags bulge early. Shengganliu Village has become a well-known wealthy village. When girls from villages within a radius of ten miles and eighty miles are looking for their husbands, they naturally choose Shengganliu Village.

, because once you marry, you will become a craftsman that everyone envies, and you will no longer have to face the earth with your back to the sky; girls in this village are even more popular, and boys from other villages will "not be pregnant" whenever they have free time.

With good intentions, I came to Liangganliu Village and wandered around, sniffing here and there like a dog to see whose girl it was time to find her husband's family. There would often be boys of all kinds hanging around the door.

If you fall in love with a girl, you will be a popular and popular person in your life. Where can you find a wife who can make a lot of money as soon as you get married? If you marry a wife, you can support a family, and the family's economy can advance for at least ten years.

In those years, Liang Gang Liu Village loved to show movies. There was a collective factory in the village, and there was plenty of money. So what did it mean to show a few movies? What makes people feel that the only flaw is that there were fights eight times out of ten movies in the village, all because of people from other villages.

Caused by the jealousy among young people, most of the people who came to watch the movie were from other villages, and they all wanted to be related to Liu Pingliang, but there were more wolves and less meat, so we had to let our fists do the talking. As a result, blood splattered and the movie had to end early. As a last resort,

The village had no choice but to organize militiamen carrying spears with bayonets to maintain order, and it became stable for a while. Who made the girls in the village so popular? It's strange, the villagers of Wengliangliu were all born to be scalers.

Even the children in the village seem to be possessed of spiritual energy. They can learn everything at once, and they are born to make scales. Liu Banxian from the village said: That is because the Feng Shui of the village is good, and the two dragon veins just wrap the village.

Like a cornucopia. The dragon veins Liu Banxian mentioned are actually two roads, one leading to the county town and the other leading to the provincial capital. The two roads intersect at a crossroads in the east of the village. This crossroad brings out the good Feng Shui of the village.

Although what Liu Banxian said sounds a bit irrelevant, the villagers all agree with this statement. If nothing else, it takes less than half an hour to get to the county seat from here, and you can take a round trip to the provincial capital in one day.

That convenience, who can say that it is not influenced by Feng Shui?

During the time of the Great Collective, we were catching up with the movement to cut off the tail of capitalism and overthrow the capitalist roaders. Doing scales was definitely capitalism. Weighing-steel Liu Village undoubtedly became a key village for rectification. The county revolutionary committee specially sent a work team to the village.

After settling down, they first held a mobilization meeting. The loudspeakers in the village shouted every day to make people aware of the dangers of capitalism, and encouraged the villagers to voluntarily hand over the tools used to make scales. Later, they began to inspect each house one by one to find out all the tools used to make scales.

They were all confiscated, and the confiscated materials and tools for making wooden scales were piled up like a hill at the crossroads of the street. They were poured with foreign oil and set on fire, and then smoke billowed out and burned for several days.

A layer of smoke hung over the village, and it took half a month to dissipate. People watched the fire devour their wealth. After the fire was extinguished, their hearts became cold. From then on, they lost the skills they relied on for survival.

Like the villagers in other villages, the villagers of Wengliangliu were forced to stick their butts out and dig out food from the soil, so their lives naturally became poor.

When the national policy was first opened up and invigorated, the villagers were frightened. No one dared to openly make scales. However, Sun Laifu from the west of the village was so brave that he actually made several wooden scales and sold them in the market. Hey, no

The commune also praised Sun Laifu's behavior through loudspeakers, which suddenly aroused the villagers' emotions. As if overnight, the villagers dug out the scale-making tools that had been hidden for many years and started operating them again.

In the old business, the villagers started cutting poles and turning sand, and the long-lost noise spread to several miles away. Some people also carried tools and flocked to all parts of the country. There is a collective side business in the village.

The factory specializes in cutting wood, scraping rods, turning sand and casting mounds to provide supply to the villagers. At that time, the machines in the sideline factory were humming every day, and large trucks and small cars were lined up on the street waiting to pull goods. Products were continuously transported to

Across the country, a lot of money was put into the pockets of villagers. In just seven or eight years, every household in the village lived in a tile-roofed house and used the "three big things". The village of Wengganliu became famous far and wide.

"Ten Thousand Yuan Households" Village.

In the mid-1980s, villager Liu Erbao dug up an ancient tomb when he was building a house and digging the foundation. He dug out a pile of rotten wood, which looked like a wooden scale. I heard that there were also a lot of gold ingots, and people from hundreds of miles around were interested.

It seemed strange that the news reached the county. The county suddenly sent police to put the place under martial law, saying it was to protect cultural relics. After reporting to the province, the province sent a team of experts to conduct an on-site inspection. Dozens of people came in just a small car.

The car was appraised by experts: this is the tomb of a wealthy businessman from the Song Dynasty. Don’t underestimate the pile of rotten wood. They are all cultural relics. Various signs indicate that as early as the Song Dynasty, this place was a national trading center for weighing instruments.

. So the clever villagers took advantage of this and made a big fuss. They set up a stage on the day of the temple fair on February 2, sang the opera for ten days, and hung up the sign of "Hometown of Weighing Instruments in the Country". From then on, the scale beam Liu
