Chapter 495: Meeting and Meeting
Meeting, meeting.
Now there is a popular proverb among the people in the base area, the more taxes the government has, the more the king will break.
The reason why there will be more is that they are almost not arbitrary in everything, and they have to find their brothers to discuss it together, and after a lively meeting, there will definitely be many policies that are beneficial to the people, which makes everyone extremely excited.
As soon as the news came out, the people in the bazaar began to talk to each other, excitedly speculating on the content of the meeting of King Chuang, and some people kept standing on tiptoe, tilting their necks to look at the cave of King Chuang, to see who was participating around the stone pier outside the cave, in order to judge the content of the meeting, whether it was for their own people or about the military.
Now everyone is most looking forward to the king of Chuang's meeting is aimed at the people, because now the potatoes in the hands of the people are simply a disaster, everyone really has no way to solve it, can't eat, can't let go, it's a pity to lose it, that's a loser, this matter must be solved by the king, and if it is not solved, it will be killed.
The reason why everyone speculates that this conference may solve this matter is because everyone knows that the day before yesterday, when King Chuang was visiting the market, he talked with the old king for a long time, and finally King Chuang left with a frown, King Chuang was the most sympathetic to the people, and of course he had to solve the people's affairs.
"Look, look, Chen Ce's administrative officer is here, and he is sitting next to King Chuang." A young man had sharp eyes, and the first thing he saw was Chen Ce, who was always dressed in a blue robe.
Chen Ce appeared next to the big black man Guo Tianxing, who didn't greet Lu Shi first, but first stood on the edge of the ridge and waved to the people and elders in the market below, so almost all the fathers and elders raised their hands together and cheered in return. Guo Tianxing grinned with a big mouth and a satisfied smile, and then walked to the opposite side of King Chuang with a big bowl and sat down, and he didn't see Shi Li or King Chuang unhappy.
One article and one martial arts, reciprocal, this doesn't show anything.
When everyone was confused, a fast horse galloped to the outside, the war horse ran to the outside of the yard and stopped, a tall figure jumped off the horse, Cao Meng, it was Cao Meng, but Cao Meng's arrival could not explain anything, because Cao Meng was both military and political, that is, the general manager of the old camp in Huluyu, but also the commander of the garrison of the entire base area.
Another fast horse galloped over, the third nephew of King Chuang galloped over, caught the reins of the horse, and supported a "yellow robe" person to get off the horse with difficulty, got off the horse and shook his body on the ground, the people were distressed and exclaimed, the yellow robe was not yellow, but drove overnight, and the flying loess was dyed, and the leader of this dusty servant was Zheng Hao, and now the political officer of the Ganquan Meridian Ridge Base Area.
There is one more civil servant.
Then Zhao Xing, who had a kind face, began to shout wildly, and Zhao Xing paused and hugged his fists to salute the people under the black pressure.
Zhao Xing is nicknamed Zhao Yan Wang, but that is all divided into people, the army, managers, village chiefs and patriarchs are afraid of them, traitors are afraid of them, and the enemy landlord is afraid of him and hates him, but the people are not afraid, not only are they not afraid, but they welcome him the most, because everything he does is to safeguard the interests of the people, and they are all defending everyone's king.
But Zhao Xing must arrive every time, and he can't say anything.
Mr. Li appeared, and he was still so calm that he first gave a salute to King Chuang, King Chuang stood up and returned the salute, and then the great commander, the big commander waved his hand and grinned and didn't know what to say, and then gave a salute to the leader who arrived, even Wang Jian and Zhang Xiao's little brothers did not fall behind. This gives a deep impression of Mr. Lee's humility and prudence.
Mr. Li was urgently recalled yesterday, and everyone knows that Mr. Li is now the political affairs officer of the Luochuan base area, and his external identity is that he is a large landowner in Luochuan, in charge of government affairs and civil affairs.
However, the next one disappointed everyone a little, because it was Geng Kui who came, he was the commander of the infantry army, and he was indeed a soldier.
A red figure appeared on the high platform, it was Chunlan, Chunlan was everyone's baby, both the army and the people spoiled her, but the temper of the pet became bigger and bigger, and anyone who saw it was afraid of three points, and now in the entire base area, the third aunt can manage her, the third uncle can't do it, and even those women's soldiers have to let go, because she is too short-sighted. As soon as she appeared, everyone's hearts were cold, Chunlan is from the military, and it seems that this meeting is still military. But it is also civil, because the women's affairs in this base area are under her control, after she got the Shang Fang sword of the king of Chuang, who is equal to men and women, if a man beats a woman, then Chunlan will definitely be the first to block the door of that door, and if the man does not apologize, he will be punished.
To say that this Chunlan is also a capable person, the women in the entire base area, as long as they are willing to work with some skills, are organized by her, work for the team, and also bring additional subsidies to each family, so she is also particularly loved by women.
There are only four days left before the wedding, according to the old ceremony, Lu Shi and Chunlan can't meet no matter what, but this is the most important meeting on the ground, as the founder of the base, Chunlan, who is in charge of the women's affairs in the whole base, can't help but come, and the official business is important, and it can't be delayed, so Chunlan and Lu Shili are all discussed, one request, one invitation must participate. In the end, everyone agreed to the invitation and request in good faith, as for the meeting, or for the little lover to meet, then everyone absolutely didn't care.
When Chunlan came, when she saw Lu Shi, her eyes turned red first, Lu Shi choked up, her lips trembled, and she didn't know what to say.
The two of them looked like this, and immediately attracted a burst of laughter from everyone, Chunlan stomped her feet, went up and kicked Guo Tianxing, who was smiling the most ambiguously, and Guo Tianxing howled extremely miserably, as if she was kicked and broke her ribs through the armor that she would never want to take off, Chunlan didn't care, she hit the door one by one, and hit Mr. Li, but she could only raise her hands helplessly, and finally used a white eye to take revenge, and then sat down beside Lu Shi in a dignified manner, and then leaned towards Lu Shi's side, Lu Shi also quietly moved his butt to Chunlan, which caused another shout from Tianxing.
"Third uncle, look, third uncle is here." A person shouted, the crowd immediately rushed forward, and the people standing in front gave salutes to the third uncle, some called uncle, some shouted third uncle, and some shouted grandfather, which made the third uncle's beard for a while, and took the four elders to walk while arching their hands, and when they saw the old brothers of the same age, they had to stand and talk for a sentence or two, which made people's hearts warmer.
This old man has become the most idle but also the busiest person in the base, and his status is absolutely transcendent, even Zhao Xing, who everyone fears, has to lower his eyebrows when he sees the third uncle, let alone King Chuang and the Great Commander of the Heavenly Star.
But the third uncle can't explain anything when he comes, because the third uncle is in the cottage, he doesn't care about anything but cares about everything, no matter what he will, there must be a third uncle.
But the third uncle did something that made everyone hope again, not only followed by the four elders, but also a few village chiefs, as well as a few elderly aunts, including the third son of the mountain and his father, saying that he was going to take him to a meeting.
So, tens of thousands of people in the entire market quickly spread the good news, and took these village elders and aunts to hold a meeting, which was definitely about the peasant people, and then, everyone's minds were alive, so everyone no longer cheered, stopped trading, and looked at the Tutaiyuan Dam with their necks up, which was about to bring them hope.
The last to be present was Zheng Hongda, in fact, Zheng Hongda was still an outsider, and he should not appear on such a solemn occasion, but this time he was specially invited by Lu Shi, not to make a decision, but to listen, which made Zheng Hongda flattered, but after thinking about it, he accepted the invitation with mixed feelings.
The old rule, the meeting started in Lu Shi's opening remarks, of course, he set the tone, as for where the final conference went off-topic, that was later.
"This time, I summoned the brothers and gentlemen in charge of government affairs from all over the country to rush back, and also invited several village chiefs and wives in the base area to participate, especially our Zheng Hongda and Zheng brothers as observers, and gave guidance, everyone can see that this conference is unusual."
Everyone nodded together and waited for Lu Shi to speak. Lu Shi stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began to pace on the courtyard dam, thinking about it and then saying, "This meeting, I'll call him the Potato Conference." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then burst into laughter, potato conference? It's good, it's interesting.
However, Chen Ce didn't laugh, and the old farmers who invited him didn't laugh either, so Zheng Hongda only had a wry smile.
Lu Shi didn't laugh, but waved his hand very seriously to stop everyone's laughter, and said with a heavy heart: "Don't laugh, this conference is really to solve the problem of potatoes in the hands of the people, and the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, which is a real problem in front of everyone." ”
Standing up and pacing, he said solemnly: "Don't look at the worthlessness of this potato, this is a major event related to the benign development of our base area, and it is also related to the progress of our future promotion of new varieties of crops. ”
Saying this, everyone knew the seriousness of this matter, and they all began to sit up straight, waiting for Lu Shi to continue.
"This old man, could you please tell us how many potatoes your family has planted, how much you have harvested, and how much you can sell?" Lu Shi walked up to an old man and politely invited.
The old man was the old man who had talked to Lu Shi in the bazaar, and seeing that on such a serious occasion, King Chuang was still respectful and polite, and he was a little at a loss to look left and right, and he didn't know how to open his mouth, for fear of saying the wrong thing in front of the officials in the base area.
The third uncle pushed him with a smile and said, "We are the oldest here, they are all juniors, so if you have something to say, just say it." ”
After being comforted by the third uncle, the old man stood up tremblingly, saluted Lu Shi and the leaders, and then spoke again for a long time before he spoke: "Back to the king's words, back to the words of the chiefs, the grass people have the gift of the king, the family has sixteen acres of good land, after deducting some miscellaneous grains and oil beans, the remaining twelve acres are planted with potatoes recommended by the king, and they also have to be taken care of by the king Hongfu, the land is fertile and watery, it is a bumper harvest, and a total of more than 50,000 catties of potatoes." Some people gasped when they heard this number, oh my God, a family will have 50,000 catties of potatoes, so how much is the entire base area? Also, this is only the production of the first season, at this time, you can plant wheat and millet again, then it will be another harvest, so why worry about not being able to eat enough? At a time when there is a great drought and displaced people are everywhere, with such a large production reserve, it is no longer a difficult problem to recruit displaced people to expand the base areas.
But it seems that with a few old people, why are they worried?
