Feng Hao pulled the sleeve of the money pile next to him and asked in a low voice, "Why are there so many things?"

Qian Dui smiled bitterly: "I bought a lot, I can't stand it cheap, yesterday Hou Ye said that the standard of a person's consistent money is estimated to be according to the market price of these things, when I send someone to buy it, the price of buying it back is the purchase price."

As a result, the things that were originally to be distributed were nearly forty percent in many places

At this time, the pork meat was not cheaper than that of later generations, because Mo said that Chang'an City, even if it was the entire Tang Dynasty, the dignitaries and dignitaries who liked to eat pork meat could count it by holding their hands, which was considered a heavy taste. There is a cloud in the Shaoyi chapter of the "Book of Rites" that "gentlemen do not eat porpoise", that is, gentlemen do not eat pork.

And the people of the Tang Dynasty, who are slightly wealthy at home, will occasionally get some back to fight tooth sacrifices, and the people living in Chang'an or other towns, not everyone has the ability to go to the mountains to hunt and get game.

Although Xuan Shijing doesn't care much about these statements, but the taste of pork in Datang is really poor, and a fishy atmosphere that is difficult to hide makes people unable to eat it no matter what, the pork that Hou Fu eats now is raised by the servants behind the Zhuangzi compound of Hou Mansion, and the pork that has been castrated since he was a cub, otherwise, Xuan Shijing can't even eat cabbage and pork dumplings in Datang.

And the meat bought from the outside, naturally different from the pork of the Hou Mansion, these pork distributed to the farmers, most of them take back have to be cured with coarse salt and dried and stored, although the pork is cheap, but there are not many farmers who are willing to buy and eat.

Datang's pork, fat meat is more expensive than lean meat, because the pork bought by ordinary people is used to boil lard, add a little water to the pot, cut the fat into cubes, put it in the pot and stir-fry constantly, as the water slowly evaporates, the oil and water in the fat meat are slowly boiled out, until finally, there is a little lard residue left, and then distributed to the children at home.

"Feng Hao." Xuan Shijing looked at Feng Hao, who was standing beside him.

"Yes, Master Hou." Feng Hao hurriedly turned around and faced Xuan Shijing.

"The thing has arrived, how do you see how it should be distributed?" When Xuan Shijing saw this scene, he was also a little stunned, and he couldn't think of any good way for a while.

"Master Hou, now the car transporting the goods behind can't come in, so it can only be distributed one by one from the front, and it's a big deal to let the farmers run two more times." Feng Hao held the specially prepared household registration book on the Zhuangzi in his hand, looked at the more than seven hundred people below, and suggested.

"Well, let's do it, Xiao Ji, you can also go and help." Xuan Shijing said, and then said to the guards of the Hou Mansion standing on both sides: "Don't be idle, come and help." ”

With so many things, if there are not many people, they will definitely not be busy.

The money pile found a large scale from the courtyard of the Hou Mansion and placed it next to the ox cart containing pork, and the guards quickly found a table from the courtyard and placed it there.

Then, he untied the hemp rope used to fix the car and removed a large piece of oiled paper.

Feng Hao sat at a table, on which the four treasures of the study were prepared, and the people on the Zhuangzi were arranged to lead the villagers to line up one by one to receive things.

The guards of the Hou Mansion instantly turned into butchers, carrying knives and began to cut large pieces of pork, over-weighing.

One person, three catties of meat, a family of three will give one more pound to make up a whole number, and if there are elderly people over 60 years old in the family, they can get two more catties.

The farmers carried rattan baskets, lined up in an orderly manner to receive, according to Feng Hao's meaning, according to a family as a group, the old and young dragged the family with their mouths, so lively.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a cart of pork was divided, and the empty cart was led away from the other side of the street by the driver, and then the cart behind came forward and began

The people on the Zhuangzi have been poor all their lives, and they have never seen such a generous master, and other Zhuangzi can give a family some meat, some clothes or something, which is already a great benefit, but I didn't expect that the head of his own family, compared to his master, is more generous, just meat, more than a family can share nearly 20 catties

Although Dongshan County originally said that there was a lot of farmland but irrigation was not easy, it did not mean that there were no other Zhuangzi around, but there was only one Zhuangzi within the back cover of the Hou Mansion.

The surrounding Zhuangzi is not far from Dongshan County, Chang'an City as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the land near Chang'an City is precious, although Xuan Shijing is deeply favored, but in terms of fiefdom, His Majesty Li Er is also not favoritistic.

Over the years, the villagers in Dongshan County have become richer, and the people of the surrounding Zhuangzi have come and gone frequently.

Soon, nearly 3,500 catties of pork purchased by the Hou Mansion were distributed, and more than a dozen empty carriages and ox carts left the street in front of the Hou Mansion compound, but soon the carriages behind drove in and occupied the street again.

The people present were all red-faced, and their expressions were extremely excited, this year can really have a good year, just the New Year's goods distributed by the Hou Mansion are enough to top the family's food and clothing for nearly half a year, and this time to save money, maybe you can also say a good family thing to the children at home.

The atmosphere in front of the Houfu compound at this time was extremely warm, not only the villagers were happy to receive the New Year's goods, but even Xuan Shijing, who paid for it, was also happy.

So happiness is contagious, this sentence is not wrong at all, the New Year's Day, it's good to be happy, even some of the guards in the house who are not smiling on weekdays have a smile on their faces at the moment.

"Master Hou, the county magistrate of Dongshan County has come over with the county magistrate." Xiao Ji walked up to Xuan Shijing and said in a low voice.

Xuan Shijing frowned slightly, the county order? What did he come to do?

Xuan Shijing sent Feng Hao to live in Zhuangzi and take care of all the affairs of Zhuangzi, whether it was building a reservoir or digging a river, or supporting agriculture, it seemed that Feng Hao was coordinating alone, and he had never heard of the county order of Dongshan County meddling in the affairs of Dongshan County.

The commander of Dongshan County was dressed in a green official robe, with soap boots on his feet, followed by an official in a dark blue round-necked soap robe, presumably it was the county of Dongshan County.

The county commander took the county Cheng to Xuan Shijing's side, arched his hand and smiled: "The lower official pays a visit to the Hou Ye." ”

"The county magistrate doesn't have to be many miles, I don't know why the county magistrate is here today?" Xuan Shijing asked with a smile.

"Xia Guan heard that Hou Ye was distributing New Year's goods to the Zhuang households in Dongshan County, so Xia Guan thought about it and came to have a look." The county magistrate said very humbly.
