Chapter 394: Persuasion
The old man on the side didn't care, or there was no way at all.
That's the way it was, even if he knew that the fruit sold in the city was more expensive.
The vendors come to collect the fruit, and if they don't sell it, the other party has the means to deal with them.
If they want to secretly go to the city to sell fruits, even if it is impossible, the other party only needs to say some hello and let the ruffians come to find trouble, which is not something they can afford.
When Du Rufang heard this, his face was a little ugly.
Previously, Lu Chensheng had been talking about how difficult it was for the people, and what he said was just about the problems on the field.
Now when he inquires, he finds that it is not easy to even grow fruits.
In the past, he also thought that he could ask Lu Chensheng to control the water for the good of the people.
But depending on the situation at this time, even if the water treatment is cured, what can it do?
This is already rotten to the root, and if it is not treated properly, this root is still there.
Even if the flood is well controlled, in fact, it is the traders and officials who enjoy the benefits.
"So, how are you doing now, old man, can you eat enough?"
Du Rufang calmed down his anger and continued to ask.
The old man had a smile on his face when he heard this, "Of course you can eat enough, the price of fruits used to be lower, but now it has increased, and life is better." ”
The old man's wrinkled old face stretched a lot at this moment.
Du Rufang looked at the room, "Is it convenient for me to go in and have a look?" ”
The old man hesitated a little when he heard this, "Son-in-law Jin Gui is afraid that it is inconvenient to go in, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter."
Du Rufang didn't care when he heard this, and insisted on going in to see it.
The family on the side wanted to dissuade them, but Du Rufang made them shut up with a look.
The old man couldn't resist Du Rufang, so he invited the other party into the house.
At this moment, several people in the family were there, the dishes and chopsticks had just been set, and since the old man had not come in yet, everyone had not eaten at the table.
At this moment, Du Rufang came in, but he saw the contents of the bowl clearly.
I saw that there was only a small amount of rice in the bowl, but the rest was a little black, and it looked like a vegetable leaf.
When I turned my head, I saw that the inside of the pot was clean, and there was no rice left.
Du Rufang felt a little sad when he looked at it, this is what the people eat, no wonder. No wonder when he was in Xinghan City, the faces of the people always had a glimmer of hope on their faces.
Everyone seems to have a strong expectation for the future.
Compared to here, the place where they are can indeed bring them a lot of expectations.
"Old man, how many meals do you eat a day?"
Du Rufang paused and asked.
"Naturally, it's two meals, and when the year is bad, I only eat one meal."
When the old man heard this, he immediately responded.
Du Rufang's face was slightly gloomy, he originally wanted to ask if it was three meals, but listening to the old man's answer, people never thought that they could eat three meals at all, so he answered like this.
"One meal a day, are there too many days?"
"If the year is bad, it will be thanks to God."
When the old man on the side heard this, he immediately responded.
When the year is good, it is two meals, and if it is not good, it is naturally one meal.
Du Rufang's face was not very good-looking, he never thought that the lives of the people were really poor to such a point.
Previously, what Lu Chensheng said was completely right.
He was born into a very wealthy family, so he read poetry and books since he was a child, and because of this, he didn't know how the poor people lived.
Everything in front of you will not be fake, it can only show that all this is true.
"Old man, after going down to Xinghan City, it was originally called Wudeng City outside the Saiwai, but now he is recruiting manpower, and he treats the people very well, he can eat four meals a day, the old man might as well go and see?"
Du Rufang thought about it and said to the other party.
The other party has been busy for such a long time, but he can't even afford to eat, which is really intolerable.
He wanted to invite the other party to Xinghan City, and with the current situation in Xinghan City, there was no problem at all if the other party wanted to eat a full meal.
Hearing this, the old man hurriedly shook his head, "Don't deceive the old farmer, where is there a place where the people can eat four meals." ”
The old man didn't believe it at all, and he had never heard of a place where he could eat four meals a day.
Maybe it's only possible in the landlord's house, right?
But people are landlords, and what about him? How can an old farmer have such treatment?
"Don't believe it, it's Du Rufang below, if you're down, you should believe it, right?"
Du Rufang saw that the other party didn't believe it, but he wasn't discouraged, he heard this thing before, and he wouldn't believe it.
But he has been there, how can he not believe it?
Now looking at the old farmer in front of him, the food is so scarce, and he naturally wants the other party to go to the star Hancheng.
When the old farmer heard this, his face was a little dazed.
"Du Rufang? I don't know. ”
He is just a farmer in the countryside, and the things he cares about every day are just whether he can fill his stomach and hope that there will be no floods.
Other than that, he didn't care much about the rest.
Du Rufang's fame is very great, but in such a place, not many people know him.
Du Rufang's face stiffened when he heard this, and he probably didn't expect such a thing to happen, and people didn't know him at all.
"Uncle, I am the champion of the Great Cangguo below, and I will not deceive you below."
Du Rufang calmed his tone and continued to speak.
Hearing this, the old man looked the other party up and down with some suspicion in his eyes, he has lived for most of his life, where would he easily believe the words of outsiders.
"The old farmer has received the kindness of the old farmer, but the crops in the old farmland are about to be harvested in the autumn, how can he give up? Childe, please come back. ”
If you don't say what the other party says, you can believe it, and the crops in this field are about to be harvested.
You can't give up at this moment, and this is the last thing you can tolerate as a farmer.
Du Rufang opened his mouth, originally he was the same as Lu Chensheng said, his fame was so big, and some people would naturally believe what he said.
But now, I don't know you at all, how can I believe what you say?
If you want to be serious, he still thinks too much, the people in the countryside actually don't care at all, who is in power now, they only care about whether they can eat enough.
Du Rufang gave up, knowing that his persuasion would not be listened to, and he would not go to this star Hancheng.
