Chapter 189: Collecting Money and Food (1/5)

After Lord Xiao Wang issued the order, in line with the principle of not abandoning or giving up, the leaders of each group began to ...... their subordinates under their jurisdiction Persuade.

The first step, of course, is to mobilize the surrounding relatives.

It's not that there is any similarity between this and other eras, but the first thing to mobilize your relatives around you when you encounter something is the most normal thing in itself, and it is also the first reaction of others after encountering something.

Everyone's interpersonal circle is limited, and most people's interpersonal relationships are mainly reflected in relatives.

He may not have any friends, but he can't have no relatives, unless it's the Lone Star.

Sun Li was embarrassed by the things that Lord Wang had explained.

He told his father and brothers about it at lunchtime.

After Old Man Sun heard this, he took a bite of the green onion while eating the noodles, paused and said, "This matter can't make you embarrassed, our family still has some food, so let's lend it to Lord Wang." ”

When it comes to the tasks of his own children, Old Man Sun still knows the importance of it.

It used to be said to be voluntary, so everyone didn't volunteer.

Now if you say it's voluntary, everyone is voluntary.

Sun Li breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "I brought an IOU from the camp, this thing was written by Lord Wang, with an official seal and number on it, saying that it is a minimum of five hundred catties, if it is not enough, forget it, if you can't take out five hundred catties of grain, then there is no way, we can't ask these poor people to lend us something." ”

There were other people eating and resting with bowls next to them, and everyone was relieved when they heard Sun Li's words at this time, after all, some people still resist this kind of thing.

"My family is poor and I can't afford 500 catties of food, so don't I need to take it?" A man in a ragged suit, giggling and asking.

Sun Li said angrily: "No, but Lord Wang said that if you don't want to borrow it, forget it, discourage the enthusiasm of others, and say cool things in a cool place, all of them will be punished according to the crime of seeking sex and causing trouble, and the rice grain will be cut off for ten days." ”

Wang Lanling did not ask everyone to lend him food, even if Liu Fufeng promised this, Wang Lanling did not agree, but explained a lot of details to everyone.

On the road to success, there was no shortage of speculators, such as a few landowners in the city.

There is no shortage of negative elements, such as those who have self-destructive tendencies and do not know it, and who always like to talk in a weird way, and such people must be severely punished.

The man took a sip of noodles with his rice bowl and said with a smile: "I won't say it, I won't say it, this Sun Erlang is becoming more and more official now, amazing, amazing." ”

Sun Li was very angry, but he didn't want to cause trouble, and now he mainly completed the task assigned by Lord Wang.

"Dad, Lord Wang is a good official, and he is a talent valued by the imperial court, you see that now our food and shelter are all provided by Lord Wang, and he is busy with a serious illness for water treatment, like this kind of good official, we should borrow some food."

Old man Sun said: "I must borrow it, Lord Wang has said that the borrowed things will definitely be returned, and besides, this thing is not used in other places, it is all for us to eat." ”

Sun Li nodded and said: "That's the reason, and the other thing is that this time the grain borrowing is calculated by each family, you can borrow it in the name of an individual, or you can borrow it according to one household, and you can go over together when you arrive." ”

At this time, the surrounding farmers who had been working with Sun Li for half a month also said, "How much are your families going to borrow?" ”

Sun Li looked at his father, it was the old man Sun who was in charge of the family, after all, there were other men in the family besides Sun Li, and it was not Sun Li's business alone.

Old man Sun pondered for a while, and said: "This, go back today and see how many there are, we have two grain stacks at home, take out one, it should be a thousand catties." ”

When the man who said the cool words heard it, he said, "You have so much food in your family? I still have half a tank at home, and I can't eat enough for myself. ”

Old man Sun glared at the man, "My family has a lot of labor and a lot of farming, can it be the same as you lazy?!" You deserve to be a widow! No shipments! ”

Some things still need the old man to come forward, like this kind of yin and yang weird talker, the old man can scold casually without scruples.

The man smiled awkwardly and continued to drink noodles, he was used to having no face and no skin, and he wouldn't feel embarrassed because of a few words, but these sturdy little ones were there, and if he talked angry to this old man, he would definitely be beaten.

It's here that it's hard to reason with the elderly, and everyone is a laborer.

Several people continued to rest by the river, and it didn't take long for a person to come over and sit on the ground casually, looking at the flowing water by the river.

When Sun Li saw Shi Jian coming back, he said, "You go to the toilet all day and run so far, aren't you tired?" ”

"You don't understand, the toilets over there are different." Shi Jian felt that Sun Li didn't understand, and if he didn't go in to experience some things for himself, he wouldn't be able to recognize the difference between the two toilets.

Sun Li said with a smile: "The camp has repaired the toilet that flushes with water, and I think it is cleaner, which is quite water-intensive." ”

Shi Jian shook his head, "It's different, it's different, the toilet in the city is even better than the camp." Perhaps, this is the life of a city dweller. ”

Sun Li didn't understand the matter of the toilet, let alone why Shi Jian always had to go to the toilet at noon in the morning, and he always spent a lot of time queuing every time he went.

This kind of thing is just a talking point, and Sun Li has more important things now.

He said: "Shi Jian, let me tell you something, didn't Lord Wang talk about borrowing grain last time?" This time, let's talk about it again, hoping that someone can lend him some food, and also said that he doesn't want a few big families in the city, and hopes that those who have surplus food at home can lend him some. ”

"Our family is going to make a grain stack, what about your family? If it's really difficult, forget it. ”

Sun Li still has a high ideological consciousness, and the main reason is that Wang Lanling has no intention of developing in the countryside, and the main force of borrowing grain this time is actually from the city.

If you don't have food, you can borrow money!

After Shi Jian heard it, he said directly: "This, since Lord Wang said that he borrowed grain, then borrow it, and my family will also have a grain stack." ”

Sun Li didn't expect Shi Jian to be so easy to speak, so he said embarrassedly: "You should discuss this with your family, a grain stack is also half a year's grain storage, and your family is not alone." ”

Shi Jian shook his head, "It's okay, I have the final say, I'll go home today and dismantle the grain stack, and borrow a car to deliver the grain when the time comes." ”

After seeing the life in the county and understanding the personality of Lord Wang, in fact, many people are still willing to believe in Lord Wang.

Now there are indeed difficulties in the camp, and this difficulty is directly reflected in the food, and the workers who are constantly changing, and can eat stir-fried vegetables every once in a while, have also taken a lot of food home.

Now is not a disaster year, and it has been said a few more times, so it is natural to lend more food.

This kind of thing is not done by one person, it is like a chain reaction, and it is easier for these people to lend grain to Wang Lanling than Sun Li and others imagined.

***

On May 5th, after two days of general mobilization and persuasion from various team leaders, the approximate data could be integrated.

"Bian Shiying, I am willing to lend thirty tons of wheat to the adults on behalf of Ginseng Village! 300 bucks in money! ”

"Wei Xueyi, I am willing to borrow five tons of grain and 100 yuan of money!"

"Liu Fugong, I am willing to borrow five tons of grain and 100 yuan of money!"

"Wei Biao, a butcher in the east of the city, is willing to borrow one ton of grain, three pigs, and 50 yuan of money!"

"Zhuoshan, a butcher in the west of the city, is willing to borrow one ton of grain, two cattle, and 50 yuan of money!"

"Li Linmao, a soy sauce shop in the west of the city, is willing to borrow three tons of soybeans and 50 yuan of money!"

"Feng Siyan, the owner of the Guangyuan opera troupe, is willing to borrow a ton of grain and 50 yuan of money!"

"Zhu Bozhong, the owner of Jiafu Rice Shop, is willing to borrow one ton of rice and noodles, ten tons of Chen Gu, and 100 yuan of money."

……

Total:

Grain: 4,512 tons of wheat, 2,080 tons of sweet potatoes, 187 tons of corn, 128 tons of rice, 33 tons of soybeans, 15 tons of noodles, 8 tons of mung beans, and a total of more than 200 tons of other miscellaneous grains.

The money was ten thousand one hundred and twenty-one and five cents.

Number of households: 3,224 households

Wang Lanling looked at the tables reported by the team leaders, this is the data counted by Liu Fufeng and Hu Guiqiao, Wang Lanling took a rough look, just one day, there were 3,000 families willing to sell him a face.

Those who give a lot of money are all from the city, just like a wedding and funeral, and the little adds up.

The countrymen are all hundreds of catties of grain, and they are not eligible to be included in this statistical table for Wang Lanling, which belongs to another statistical book.

"These are the wishes of the people in the city who are willing to borrow grain, and although the things have not yet arrived, I think that in the end there will be more food than this."

Wang Lanling put the form aside and looked at the various group leaders and cadres in the camp tent.

"I have something to say, the food and money lent this time are not lent to me, and it is not me who will repay the money at that time, it is the Department of Environmental Sanitation and the Department of Water Affairs, but if you can't pay it back then, you can also find me, I think I will give you a satisfactory answer."

When everyone heard Wang Lanling's words, they were first shocked, and then relieved.

Although he was ready to pay filial piety when he borrowed something, he was still shocked when Wang Lanling really said that he would not return it, and later said that he was willing to pay it back, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Bian Shiying went home overnight yesterday and told the people in Zhuangzi about this, and you asked him if his father supported it, of course he supported it.

It's not a rebellious business, it's just to borrow some food for Lord Wang, who is in forced labor, and the other party is also the son-in-law of the murderer Lao Zhao, so it's not bad to be familiar.

In this era, every household, especially in places with concentrated populations such as villages and mountain villages, likes to hoard food, which is instinctive.

In a peaceful and prosperous world, money can buy food, but food may not be exchanged for money.

And yesterday Liu Fufeng was too stimulated by Wang Lanling's promise to the director, which caused some people around him to be seriously stimulated, and Bian Shiying belonged to this kind of radical who was mobilized emotionally.

"My lord, after you control the water, are you going to be an official in the county town?" Bian Shiying asked a very curious question.

Almost everyone knows that Wang Lanling's position as director of the water affairs department is not guaranteed, and he knows that Wang Daren is not good at controlling water and will become a big official.

Wang Lanling explained: "There is no accurate news about this, I still tend to continue to be an official in Heishui County, but I am still young now, and I will continue to study, and I will get married first in the autumn, so it is difficult to guess what arrangements will be made at that time." ”

"But I still have to say more about borrowing food, and you can also convey my meaning."

Wang Lanling paused, thinking about what to say.

"First of all, I understand that everyone borrowed food and money this time for the sake of my face, so I will definitely be responsible for this matter."

"This money and food will be used for this conscription, mainly to improve everyone's food."

"In addition to the food we eat here, I will improve and upgrade the living standards of Heishui County and nearby towns."

"Another point is that I will repay the money and food within three years, and in addition to the principal, I will pay an additional 5% interest to the borrower, and each household must keep the IOU properly!"

Hearing that the interest rate is 5 percent, those who originally borrowed money are somewhat comforted, but there are also many people who realize that it is not good.

If you calculate it too clearly, won't it be given away in vain?

Just as someone was about to say something, a herald walked in and shouted, "Report! My lord, the caravan in Shanzhou is camping on the gourd mountain in the north, the number is about 800 people, the caravan is carrying a lot of supplies, the leader is already waiting outside the camp, I want to meet the adults before entering the city! ”

Wang Lanling stood up after hearing this, "It's been a long time late, our side is in the north of the city, and Lanzhou is also in the north, so it happens to be from here, but the team leader is a seven-rank official, which is higher than my official position, so let me go and see him, and you continue to do things." ”

Hulu Mountain is a high mountain in the north of the city, and you can see the big camp in the north of the city from the high mountain over there.

At present, there are too many people gathered here in the camp, whether it is for the safety needs of the caravan or other factors, the team leader needs to come over in advance to pay a visit and figure things out before letting people come.

As officials who come and go every once in a while and deploy materials between states, although only a few of the people in these caravans are court officials, they are basically equipped with firearms and firearms, and they are strong in combat!

Basically, no one dares to rob in front of these caravans, but if something happens, the leader is also responsible, so he will still be very careful.
