Li Xiao was not interested in the transfer of Lao Wang, even if he was transferred to the warehouse department that was the counterpart of him, he was too lazy to do this.

He didn't have much of a cold with this guy. It's not as good as Zhao Zhiman's appetite for him, although Zhao Zhiman also brought troops to fight it, but he doesn't know each other. But Lao Wang is always yin and yang, and he doesn't feel good when he looks at it.

"Corn seedlings are raised first and then transplanted, but it is still a bit complicated, I think this corn and sorghum are almost the same, but sorghum does not need to be bred and then transplanted."

"Can sorghum be compared to corn? How much sorghum does one mu produce? And can sorghum rice be good? Unless it's a year of famine, who wants to eat sorghum rice? It's for the animals, and it's like corn. Li Xiao didn't raise his head and scolded Lao Wang.

"The high yield of corn is just your current family opinion, and it depends on the results."

"I'll see the results in 100 days, Lao Wang, why don't we take a gamble, I also know that you are the head of the Wang family, the family is big, and my Li family is compared to you." But it's okay to make a small bet, or let's bet a hundred times, just bet on my 100 corns, which will be three centimeters of land, and then we will have to collect three buckets of grain. ”

Collect three buckets of grain in three centimeters, so don't you have to collect three stones in three centimeters? One acre, not to collect ten stone grain?

"Dried corn kernels after threshing? Three cents of three buckets? Lao Wang looked a little excited, Li Xiao dared to make such a bet, which showed that he was very confident. But Lao Wang was very happy, even if he lost a bet with him for only a hundred yuan, but if Li Xiao really did it, it would be terrible. One acre and ten stones of threshed dried corn kernels, oh my God, I can't even think of it.

"Okay, I bet, but in order to prevent you from cheating, I have to send someone to your house to watch, and keep an eye on your hundred corns, from planting to harvesting, all my people have to watch."

"Send you if you want, even if you stare at it all day long, as long as you don't sabotage, whatever they think. But I said in advance, let's see, but I don't care about their food and accommodation. If you want to come to my partner, you can pay the rent and food, and you will be charged 200 yuan a month. ”

"Rent and food? Two hundred dollars a month? It's too expensive. "Li Zhi is atmospheric.

"If it's too expensive, you don't have to come, or you can send someone to deliver the food yourself."

Li Zhi suddenly laughed.

"Isn't it just 200 dollars a month, it's a small meaning, a word is a certainty, I'll send someone over when I turn around."

Li Xiao clapped his hands and returned to the hall, and Lao Qian hurriedly recruited a few family members.

"A few of you, just keep an eye on it here, don't let the birds in the sky, the cats and dogs in the yard have harmed this corn seedling, staring at death, the corn seedling is broken a little, you are the only one who asks."

Several family members looked like they were facing a great enemy, and nodded violently in response.

"It's all optimistic, I'll arrange someone to come over at night to change shifts."

In the living room, Lao Wang followed in with a thick skin.

At the door of the hall, Zhao Zhiman's face fluctuated, he knew Li Zhi. He was a thousand cattle when he was Taizong, and when Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, he also escorted the prince back to Beijing with many internal guards to succeed to the throne.

At first he was a little confused, but this will be figured out.

The emperor actually used a fake identity to come to the Li family, and it seems that he has a good relationship with Li Xiao, although there is always a feeling that something is wrong with the two, but the emperor can still come often, which shows that Li Xiao still has a lot of weight in the emperor's heart.

When he saw the emperor just now, he was actually very angry.

But the anger was only for a moment.

After all, it is himself who makes mistakes, although the emperor degraded his Zhao family as a slave, but after all, he still forgave him for capital crimes.

Li Xiao drank his own tea, and added some dried houttuynia to the honeysuckle, the weather has been particularly dry recently, and people are also a little angry.

He can't drink the tea of the Tang Dynasty, the tea cake that is pressed after steaming does not taste good, and he doesn't like it with or without all kinds of condiments, he wants to fry some tea, but good tea is mainly in the south. He didn't have time to go south to roast tea, and he didn't want to teach this roasting technique to others, so he had to wait for time in the future, plant some tea trees by himself, and then pick new tea leaves to fry.

Li Zhi also drank tea very unceremoniously.

Li Xiao looked at this old king and felt that his face was still really thick.

"Lao Wang."

"Hey."

"Did you solve the thing you said about your family last time?" Li Xiao asked if he had nothing to do.

Li Zhi frowned, the tea made by Houttuynia cordata and gold and silver tea tasted very strange, and he couldn't get used to drinking it. Spit out a little Houttuynia stalk in his mouth, "That bit of is being solved, it's not bad, thanks to Saburo last time for his guidance." ”

"By the way, Lao Wang, what is the relationship between Wang Fangyi and you, he is also from the Taiyuan Wang family, what are your seniors?"

Li Zhi smiled, "In terms of seniority, I am my brother." ”

"Oh."

After a sigh, there was nothing more to say.

At this time, the housekeeper came to report that several elders in the township had come over.

"Please come over for tea."

Several lieutenants came to talk about drought relief and disaster relief. This year's drought shows no signs of improvement, thanks to Li Xiao's previous township covenant hall, the remaining 30,000 acres of land in the township are still barely supporting, but although it has not died, it is obvious that this year's output will be very low.

"San Lang, congratulations on your knighthood." A few Li Zheng became more and more polite to Li Xiao.

"What's polite, it's all from the villagers, and everyone can talk about anything."

Several lieutenant chiefs complained one after another, seeing that the drought has not eased, this year's harvest will be greatly reduced, and it is estimated that there will still be a shortage of grain in the summer, and they are afraid that they will not be able to wait for the autumn harvest to come down.

"We have to hurry up about the affairs of our township and the righteous warehouse. This matter was planned by you Saburo, and you have to take the lead, and we don't understand this. ”

Li Xiao discussed with everyone before and built a warehouse to buy grain.

The Township Covenant Hall issues bonds to raise funds, then buys grain, and then prints grain stamps to redeem to the people, and the people go to the Township Covenant Hall to receive grain with the food stamps.

This is to ensure that the whole township can survive this crisis.

"Yicang, you have to have money to buy grain, and we have to issue bonds according to the previous plan. It just so happens that today we have a rich man here, the new head of the Taiyuan Wang family, and also a member of the Household Department of our Imperial Court, he is rich, so let's just swing him on a swing. ”

Li Xiao looked at Lao Wang with a smile.

Li Zhi felt a little eerie, and this Li Xiao's appearance was a little scary.

"What kind of bonds?" Li Zhi asked.

Bonds are something that everyone in later generations knows, from the national government to the company's corporate debt. It's a kind of financial contract anyway.

"Lao Wang, bonds, as the name suggests, are deeds related to debts. In Lanxi Township, we are going to build a righteous warehouse to buy some food for famine, but now we have no money in our hands, so we plan to borrow some money from everyone to buy food, in order to reassure everyone, we promise to pay interest at a certain interest rate and repay the principal according to the agreed conditions, and these promises are written on a deed. ”
