Seeing that he swore in front of Zhang Shou, claiming to be steady, reliable, honest and honest, a few cotton farmers, but at this moment they surrounded Zhang Shou, chattering endlessly, and the little peanut suddenly had a blue tendon on his forehead, and he felt very embarrassed.

I can't believe Zhu Er...... Then you have to trust Dr. Zhang! Uncle Yunhe and a few of you, when you held the eldest prince hostage, and then invaded the palace, how big a crime is that, don't people say that they will be spared? Although the final decision of the imperial court has not yet come down, Dr. Zhang is still taking a big risk. Now that people are helping you plan for the future, you are still picking!

Little Peanut couldn't help but shout to stop arguing, however, he was not an old salted fish, after this shout, it had no effect, and no one listened to him. He was burning in a hurry, but he was followed by a loud shout.

"Shut it all up!"

Seeing that the surroundings were quiet in an instant, but a pair of eyes suddenly looked at him, Zhu Er suddenly sweated in his vest. He knows that these characters who now seem to be honest old farmers think that they had followed Xian Yunhe out to fight the "righteous army" convened by Xu Cheng! In a place like Cangzhou, where martial arts are extremely strong, you must not look down on the elderly uncle!

However, after telling himself over and over again in his heart that he had to hold on and not be soft, Zhu Er finally put on a cold and firm face: "I know that you were scared by those unscrupulous big families in Cangzhou in the past, so you can't believe me." This is normal, we haven't dealt with each other a few times in total, and I am young, and I used to have a mediocre reputation, and I am not reliable in my work. But ......"

He dragged out a long note and raised his voice sharply: "But that's not the reason for you dragging Dr. Zhang to chatter!" Don't forget, he is an envoy, it is he who denies the four words of Cangzhou's chaotic people, it is he who subdues those profiteers, and it is he who allows you Cangzhou to have long-term peace and stability. ”

"Don't treat the envoy as your second boy!"

Zhang Shou originally felt that Zhu Er's rare power was quite imposing, and he thought that his son could be taught, and he was really wise after a thing, but when he heard the last sentence, he finally gave him joy. However, when he saw that a group of cotton farmers who were still shouting and jumping their feet just now became honest all of a sudden, some of them were embarrassed, and some of them were cowering and peeking at themselves, he knew that Zhu Er's reminder still worked in the end.

At least at this time, people have already remembered that what they are facing is not the scholar next door they brought to preside over justice, but a high-ranking court official, and an envoy who came by order!

Therefore, he didn't bother to scold Zhu Er's last extremely unseemly sentence, and said with a cough: "I understand your concerns." When you are a peasant like you who rely on the land to watch the sky and eat, and you deal with a person like Zhu Erlang who was born in a noble family, you will inevitably worry that he will deceive and deceive you like those unscrupulous guys before. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded vigorously, he continued unhurriedly: "However, if Zhu Erlang makes a contract with you, will you be able to believe him?" I'm afraid not. Once the government is biased, it is still uncertain. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people holding the contract and having no way to ask for help. ”

Zhu Er saw that everyone was eager to nod their heads like chickens pecking rice, he couldn't help but feel very depressed. So, he simply bury his head and sulk and don't say anything more.

And Little Peanut finally seized the opportunity and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, with Dr. Zhang as a witness for you, what are you afraid of?" It's not for you to sell your land, and it's not for you to hang the land in the name of Zhu Ergongzi, what are you afraid of? ”

Although he was young, he saw Xiao Peanut running errands with Xian Yunhe in the past, and everyone also heard Xian Yunhe say that people had made great contributions in the occupation of the palace, even if they didn't understand what kind of great achievements it was, but now they saw people running errands with Zhang Shou, and they were very valued, and they were naturally willing to listen to him.

At this moment, after hearing Xiao Peanut say this, several people looked at each other, and someone whispered: "Really don't have to put our land under the name of Zhu Ergongzi?" ”

Hearing Zhang Shouhan say with a smile that he really didn't need it, everyone was immediately overjoyed, and Zhu Er scolded angrily: "I don't want to give it to me for nothing!" I am the second son of the Duke of Zhao Guofu, and I have countless net worth, how can I look at your little bit of land? ”

No matter how high the wind and bright festival and the reputation are innocent, they can't compare to Zhu Er's resounding words - although the rich businessmen and rich people with a huge net worth will also be black because they covet the houses, gardens, and shops next door, just like those big profiteers in Cangzhou before, but Zhu Er's previous actions plus his commitment at this time, and then Zhang Shou's circumstantial evidence, finally made people a little convinced.

Of course, the most important thing is that the land is still your own, which is really reassuring!

Seeing that several cotton farmers showed relieved expressions, Zhang Shou said: "The reason why we ask everyone to gather all the land together is because it is convenient to work after connecting the patches. As for whether one's own land will have low yields or even be abandoned because it is not planted by oneself, it is actually very easy to do. Before, Zhu Erlang said that the annual harvest is divided according to work, but I think it should be divided on a monthly basis. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Er and Little Peanut saw a few cotton farmers with a perked up, if they could still see a little reluctance before, then now everyone looked eager for Zhang Shou to hurry up and say, they looked like they were listening. Zhu Erzheng muttered that if he looks good, he really has privileges everywhere, but then he was so angry that he rolled his eyes when he muttered to Xiao Peanut.

"Study hard, don't just swear and swear cruel words!"

Zhang Shou didn't pay attention to the small interaction between Xiao Peanut and Zhu Er, and said kindly: "In the past, you used to harvest once a year, and you sold the cotton to maintain a year's life. If the harvest is poor, or the price is low, often the year has to be frugal, or even unsustainable. Now, if you join the cooperative, you can get paid a certain amount every month. ”

"And this reward is only a base, and the number varies according to the field each person holds when they join. But that doesn't mean that the money you get is tied to your land. According to each person's farming situation, each quarter, that is, three months, the bonus is assessed, and the hard-working person can get a diligence award. ”

As soon as Zhang Shou said this, someone immediately shouted: "Who will assess?" Is Zhu Ergongzi? ”

As soon as Zhu Eryi saw someone squinting at him, he was suddenly inexplicably unhappy, did he look down on him or what? Although it is true that he is not very good at farming, and has been visiting cotton fields for several days, he has sweated but has not learned much, but if he is asked to see whether everyone is industrious or not, he should, probably, maybe, maybe...... You can still see it, right?

Although he was a little weak-hearted, Zhu Er still straightened his chest. The little peanut on the side was stunned for a moment, and he also tried to hold his head high, as if to say, I can do it too. However, Zhang Shou only glanced at this big and small one, and then said with a smile: "Of course, experts should evaluate whether farming is hard or lazy, otherwise, it is inevitable that someone will take money and not work." ”

"Everyone should have heard of the Wanghai Temple on Malu Mountain, right? Wanghai Temple has a Tibetan Sea Courtyard, in which the presiding Zanghai has a group of self-reliant, self-sufficient apprentices, even the youngest of them, the little monk, is also insisted on cultivating every day. Let these masters in the lower courtyard of the Tibetan Sea be judged, I think it is most appropriate. ”

Little Peanut almost didn't pop out his eyes. Let those fake monks in the lower courtyard of the Tibetan Sea ...... Cough, bah, bah, I had to be beaten to death by my uncle when I heard it...... Let those guys judge the quality of farming, how did Dr. Zhang come up with this?

And Zhu Er didn't care about being disliked by Zhang Shou, so he patted his thigh happily and said: "Yes, I heard that the old salted fish often learns farming from the little monk Guantao, and it is conceivable that the monk in the courtyard of the Tibetan Sea is proficient in farming!" Besides, I heard that they practice martial arts in addition to farming all day long, and they are very skillful, and they are not afraid of being retaliated against...... Belch! ”

Before he finished speaking, he felt that a series of sharp eyes instantly gathered on his face, and noticed that several cotton farmers all had unkind faces, and he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, as if he was sarcastic that these people in front of him would be judged badly for being lazy, etc., and then go to retaliate against those monks.

However, he was still struggling with whether he wanted to explain, Zhang Shou had already said with a smile: "You are all hard-working farmers, but if there are more people who join, it will inevitably be a black sheep, and at that time, it will naturally need strong people to supervise, which is also to reward the good and punish the lazy, that's all." And when the harvest season comes, you don't have to let others control the price of cotton. ”

And these words were like a little spark, sinking to the bottom and detonating the people who were already gradually excited.

Give money on a monthly basis, reward and punish on a quarterly basis, that is to say, they no longer get a one-time sum of money every year, and then cut back on food and clothing, and strive to survive until the next harvest.

At the beginning, the loud cotton farmer who was the first to raise concerns when Zhang Shou came was the first to speak: "Dr. Zhang, you mean that the price of cotton can be higher than what others used to collect from us?" ”

"It's another spinning cooperative, which harvests cotton."

Zhang Shou smiled, and then said lightly, "Jiang Dashao suffered more than a dozen canes for his father, and he had to be entrusted by the eldest young master of the Qi family to his wife and children, and he should also know the suffering in the world." The annual settlement price of cotton will be formulated by Zhu Erlang after contacting him and calculating. I can't say how high it must be, but it must be more reasonable than before. ”

Seeing that everyone was happy, Zhang Shou never mentioned that Zhang Chen's side would also let go of all the yarn on Jiang Dashao's side, and after a pause, he continued: "But now that the efficiency of the textile machine has doubled, the loom will also improve the efficiency in the same way, and in this way, cotton production has become the biggest shortcoming." Therefore, I would like to ask you to recommend the most experienced people to try overseas cotton seeds. ”

Little Peanut was keenly aware that as soon as Zhang Shou said this, everyone immediately looked at each other, obviously with some implication. He was angry: "You want to get the benefits, but you don't want to take the risks?" How can there be such a cheap thing! ”

Zhang Shou immediately stopped and said, "Little peanut! ”

Seeing that the little guy shut up, he said lightly: "There is indeed a great risk in trying to grow overseas cotton seeds. After all, it is not clear how well those seeds will survive and how they will grow in the future. I had 500 acres of cotton fields in Cangzhou before, and I had asked Ah Liu to visit them one by one, of which seven or eight acres were not with other cotton fields, and there were other crops around, and I planned to set them aside for trial planting. ”

"If we can get lucky enough to grow cotton with higher quality and higher yield, then these cotton seeds can be popularized in Cangzhou, and all cotton farmers can benefit, and spinners and weavers can also benefit."

I heard that Zhang Shou took his own land out to try planting, and at the same time, everyone was surprised, but they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. Especially when Zhu Er snorted softly beside him and spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, even if not everyone could understand what this meant, but then someone stood up with a dry cough.

"If Dr. Zhang can be trusted, I'm willing to give it a try! It is...... It's just that seven or eight acres of cotton fields are not easy to serve, especially the new cotton seeds that are used again, and many things have to be pondered slowly, I am afraid that the whole family will have to go up to help, and the rest of the land will not be taken care of! ”

Seeing that it was the loud-voiced cotton farmer who spoke just now, Zhang Shou looked at the face blackened by the sun, the rough skin, and the thick hands, so he nodded sincerely and said, "You can help, I am very grateful for your heart." But it's a very difficult task, even trivial, and there are a lot of breeding details to be recorded, so I need a literate person. ”

The loud-voiced cotton farmer didn't seem to expect Zhang Shou to be so demanding, and after being slightly stunned, he patted his chest.

"Although I only know a few words, I have a reading boy at home! It's just that he doesn't read the Four Books and the Five Classics very well, and he has to help me work in the fields on weekdays, so I have always expected him to be content as a bookkeeper in the future. With him for me, I can do it! ”

Little Peanut always remembered that this big voice was a little calculating, and at this time, seeing that he was so big-packed, he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Zhou, you promised so quickly, you are not afraid of turning back in case you are all planted to death......

"Bah, don't crow's mouth!"

The loud old Zhou interrupted Xiao Peanut angrily, then scratched his head, and said with some weakness: "Don't hide it from you, Dr. Zhang, I am also the first few who rushed to the forefront with Yunhe, and the guys who were sentenced to cane punishment and exile by you, in fact, I am similar to them." I got away with it, but I couldn't help it. ”

"If I can help you do something, and I really breed good cotton seeds when I go back, and this Cangzhou will benefit, I will be worthy of my conscience. Really, if you can trust me, just leave it to me! I've grown cotton all my life and I won't let you down! ”

Just as Zhang Shou was about to speak, he heard a familiar voice outside: "Zhu Er, you guy get out of here!" Your grandmother and father have sent someone to interrogate you! ”
