Chapter 330: Sell the Fields and Save More Grain

When Mi Fan and Jiu Mei Leng were going to do their own things, Han Whirlwind also ate his breakfast.

After a while, the sound of poultry sounded outside, and Han Whirlwind knew that someone was coming, so he sat down and waited for someone to enter the house.

"Brother Han, I'm here, your goose is not big, and it is so fierce." As soon as the door opened, a Tibetan man walked in outside, carrying a stick in his hand, which should have been used all the way to drive away the poultry.

"If you break my goose, you have to pay for it." Han Whirlwind was very familiar with the people who came in, whether it was here or in Sanshui County, it was the first Songri Nigan who came over, the one who sold carrots.

After arriving here, I met him in the casino by chance, he was watching at that time, and he didn't participate, and the people who hired to watch the market stared at it for a while, and felt that this person didn't look like a person who came to bet, so he reported it.

Since then, when he has nothing to do, Matsuri Nygan always comes over to talk about how his chickens are raised, and ask what kind of changes have changed in Sanshui County.

Since I got sick, I came more often, and I have asked someone to do it, but it has no effect.

"If you want to pay compensation, I have to let you compensate me, it turns out that I am the only one here who raises a lot of poultry, and now that others have raised it, I will not be able to sell it, but I will be pitted, I have to go to Sanshui County to find someone to ask." Songri Nican sued back, took a closer look at Han Whirlwind's complexion, and said happily:

"You seem to be curing soon? The fate is big, it's really big, the slaves they captured from the Tang Dynasty before, and the Datang people who came from business, as long as they are sick, I haven't seen a few who can survive. ”

"That's nature, don't look at who I am, when I'm cured, I can soar to the sky." Han Whirlwind also knew that his illness was not so serious, and he bragged when he motioned for Songri Nican to sit down.

"I've heard that it has nothing to do with you, the Zhang family mobilized a lot of good things for you, and even sent a doctor of medicine over to hide elsewhere, others don't know, but they can't fool me."

Matsuri Nigan said enviously, he was happy for Han Whirlwind in his heart, and found a good person to rely on, don't look at the fact that he has a lot of slaves here, he really encountered something, but there are not many people who are willing to help him, let alone spend a lot of money after he is sick.

Han Whirlwind smiled, didn't refute, and asked, "How is the poultry you raised there?" It's better to sell it quickly, otherwise, it will be troublesome at that time, how about the field planted? ”

Han Whirlwind knew that Songri Nigan was a Tubo person, but he didn't mean to think about Tubo, he could only be regarded as a small slave owner here, and he was often ostracized by others before, that is, he was better now, so he could talk more about things.

As soon as Matsuri Nigan heard Han Whirlwind ask about the affairs of his family, his face showed sadness, what he said just now was not right, since many people began to buy back chickens and ducklings to raise, the people around him who had a good relationship with him began to fight their own ideas again.

There are two food stalls in the city, don't look at just selling hairy eggs and light eggs, that also has a big impact on their own business, want to sell chicken and eggs, people who specialize in opening stores to collect, the attitude is not as enthusiastic as before, and the income is much less all of a sudden.

But what can be done about this, I can't help but let others raise it, I just hope that the people sent by Sanshui County can think of new ways to make money for themselves.

"I've already made Songhua eggs according to the method you taught me, and I'm going to wait for a while, and then I'll take them out and sell them, the preserved egg tofu is still very delicious, and I don't have to worry about spoiling, I can eat it when I go out, you find a way to send me more salt, and I'll pickle some salted eggs."

Songri Nigan got a total of two methods, that is, to make Songhua eggs and pickled salted eggs, and at the same time, he also knew what Han Whirlwind and the three of them wanted to do, but he just didn't tell others, and the quality of other people's lives had nothing to do with him.

And even if he finds someone else and tells them that it is Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's revenge, people may not believe him, and now it is forbidden to talk about these two people in the city, even if the other party believes it, the final credit will not fall on him, who makes his slaves less and the place smaller.

Han Whirlwind thought for a while, and replied to Songri Nigan: "The salt can't be sent too much now, Jiannan Dao is too tightly controlled, and when it comes to autumn, it is estimated that it will be about the same, if you have too many eggs, give them to your slaves to eat, and only after eating well can you have the strength to work." ”

"Eat, other people's slaves only have one meal a day, and no matter what they eat, they can stuff their stomachs to their fullness, my slave has two meals a day, and if I have to work at night, I have to add a supper, there are many children, and one person has two fried eggs a day, which is much better than other people's slaves.

But I raised a lot, how to eat can not eat, and after a while, I should kill chickens for them to eat, they are all old, do not lay eggs, have to eat, air-dried chickens have also made a lot, but they can't be sold, or you can help collect some of them, the price can be cheaper. ”

Matsuri Nigan sat down, feeling that his mouth was dry, and he didn't need to trouble Han Whirlwind, so he found tea in the house, and went to the kitchen behind him to carry a pot of water, and rinsed it with a large bowl, complaining while busy.

He was really right, the slaves at home ate definitely better than other people's slaves, and even better than most of the civilians, there were more than 300 slaves in the family to work, and now there are nearly 1,000 people, some of whom are willing to be by the civilians themselves in recent years, and some are children born to slaves.

So now there are a lot of children, just wait for them to work when they grow up, and when they are young, they have to be well raised, and by the way, they will cultivate loyalty.

Songri Nican can do this, or from the Sanshui County Zhang Wang two Zhuangzi, so many households, in fact, are no different from slaves, but the strength to work is not comparable to ordinary slaves.

Later, after observation and understanding, it was found that it was better for slaves, it seemed that it was spending more money, but it was very worry-free, the slave's body was strong, not easy to get sick, and he had strength when working, and his loyalty was also improved, and one slave could be on top of other people's two, and two slaves could be on top of other people's five.

After calculating the input-output ratio, it is still cost-effective to raise slaves, especially when they are not completely farming, and there are other breeding industries, the role of slaves is very large.

It was with this in mind that Songri Nikgan began to be kind to the slaves, not to let the slaves go hungry, at least to eat barley, to eat meat every few days, and to have eggs for each child under the age of twelve.

When the slaves are full, they will be able to work better, in addition to raising poultry, he also raises a lot of cattle and sheep, which are fed by slaves, and there is no need to worry about the slaves suddenly defecting, as long as the slaves want to escape alone, it is easy to have an accident, but if he talks to others to escape together, others will report the matter.

With more money, Matsuri Nican also bought a lot of weapons to arm his slaves against those who were jealous of him.

By now, Songri Nikgan saw that his ranks were getting bigger and bigger, and finally recognized the practice of being kind to the slaves.

A bowl of tea poured into his stomach, and seeing that Han Whirlwind still didn't agree, Songri Nigan said again: "Can't you sell air-dried chicken there?" ”

"Yes, but it's useless, tell you, the tax on entry is going to be raised soon, plus the freight, you can't make money, so if you let you transport the chickens over, won't it hurt you, so let's sell the poultry as soon as possible, just keep your own food, and exchange it for other people's livestock."

The Zhang family is ready to buy a large number of dairy products, milk chips, cheese, ghee, you need a lot, as long as you have it, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it, the price is not low, and you don't have to pay taxes, follow the name of the chamber of commerce there, this is called smuggling, you hurry up, so as not to regret it when the time comes. ”

After listening to Han Whirlwind's words, Matsuri Nigan added water to himself again, and asked worriedly, "Are you going to do it?" Zhang Xiaobao came to an economic war first, and then Wang Juan led troops to kill him? So what do I do? I've always been nice to you. ”

It's no wonder that Songri Nigan is afraid, even if Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are not allowed to be mentioned on the surface, what is passed on in private cannot be stopped, because the people above Tubo do not let others say, and they have raised the two people, and the gods who have been passed on call their gods, as if the two of them made a move, and the whole of Tubo was finished.

"What do you think? Hit, what to hit? The little boy and the little lady went back to the local government to become officials, two petty officials of the ninth grade, and they had no military power. Han Whirlwind felt that Songri Nigan was a little suspicious.

Matsuri Nican waved his hand and said: "Don't lie to me, it's not easy to have no military power, just give it to you, you give me a thorough idea, what do you want to do?" I really can't do it, so I moved out and moved to Yizhou. ”

"If you really don't fight, you can take advantage of the surplus money to see if you can receive food, save it, keep it, in the autumn, it's time to run out of food, don't starve so many of your slaves, is the land in your house separated by wooden planks and broken linen in rows?"

Han Whirlwind once again affirmed that he would not fight, and also revealed a little information.

Songri Niangan shook his head, "No, trouble, my poultry doesn't have to be as good as your emperor eats, now other people's chickens are still small, I can sell them, and when their chickens and ducks grow up, I will think of other ways, you say you won't let them be raised, I will listen to your start to buy a large number of them, and then raise more cattle and sheep, and collect more grain."

This year, I see that the grain is growing well, and the growth is okay, and it is estimated that the autumn will be a bumper harvest. If I lose it, I will go to Sanshui County to ask your master's family, saying that you lied to me. ”

"A good harvest? Dream, this year's Tubo still has to change grain from the Tang Dynasty, oops, I suddenly remembered something, you also have land, right? Han Whirlwind said as he spoke, then looked at Songri Nigan and asked.

"Nonsense, how could I not have land? I also planted a lot of barley, and another 200 acres of rice, how? Can you make money in the field? ”

Matsuri Nigan is also a small landlord, with a thousand slaves under his hands, how to live without land.

"Then sell it quickly, don't plant it, sell it now, you can still sell it for a good price, aren't you all planting things? Sell, don't delay, when the time comes, all the local products here, as well as cattle and sheep, sell your home, take your slaves to the east of Jinchuan, the one west of the Tang Dynasty, and feed the cattle well. ”

Han Whirlwind gave an idea, and he remembered that locusts have wings and can jump, and they don't move if they don't move in one place, and if they don't get Datang, they have to prepare to exterminate locusts.

In the first few years of the Tang Dynasty, there was a locust plague, and it took a lot of effort to allow it to be destroyed, and now it is estimated that it is difficult in Tubo, and the local people, one by one, see so many locusts, and they must not kowtow to incense, and when they find that it is really not good, it is too late to send an army of poultry to eat.

Songri Nigan didn't know the specific situation, and when he saw that Han Whirlwind let him sell his land, he looked at Han Whirlwind carefully, "You won't have a grudge against me, right?" The land is gone, what do you want me to do? ”

"If the land is gone, you can buy it back, but if you don't harvest this year, or half less, not half, it's less than two percent, that's over, if you catch up with the sky again, this year is estimated to be more difficult than last year, listen to me, I can still lie to you."

Han Whirlwind knew that he couldn't say much about Songri Nickan.

"How did you know it would be a harvest this year?" Matsurini had to figure it out.

"Let me tell you a story, once upon a time there was a hunter named Halib, who went hunting one day and saved a ...... Then he could understand what the beast was saying...... In the end, he became a stone man. ”

Han Whirlwind can't say that Zhang Xiaobao used a desperate trick here, so he can only choose to make Songri Nican believe in himself.

After listening to this, Matsuri Nygan also sighed twice: "So, you are the same Hailibu?" Do I really have to sell? Otherwise, you will have to suffer a lot of losses? ”

"Sell, you didn't help the Zhang family to transport the good things here in the past, all kinds of spices, and things that Datang didn't have, so that the Zhang family got a lot of benefits, even if you move to a place and don't make money, the Zhang family can't let you lose, that's all, don't say I didn't tell you when you don't hear it."

Han Whirlwind said to Songri Nigan seriously.

Matsuri Nikgan's expression became serious, and he nodded, "Cheng, this time I believe in you, I won't let you become a stone, sell it, sell it when you go back, buy other livestock when the time comes, and raise it all the way, go to the east of Jinchuan, where I don't worry about others coming to me to make trouble."

It's overcast, it looks like it's going to rain, I thought it would rain at night, Brother Han, you should be uncomfortable again, don't you want to eat something? ”

"It's okay, it's much better today, I'll drink some sugar water mixed with alkali and vinegar in a while, just drink it, if you have something to do, go quickly, don't worry about me."

Han Whirlwind also found that the sky had changed, and the sky that should be gradually hot was a little cold.

Songri Nigan knew that even if he didn't stay, someone would come over to take care of Han Whirlwind, thinking about the land sale, and helping Han Whirlwind pick all the bowls he had just eaten to the kitchen, and then left the house.

The chickens outside were running around in the clearing, specially bought slaves to feed them, and luring them to the shed as they went, so that they would not get sick.

Mi Fan has collected half a month's money at this time, let people escort it back, there is everything on the car, there are copper coins of Datang, there are their own popular coins here, as well as silver and gold, and even jade and other things are not lacking.

All the valuables that are mortgaged, or have commemorative significance, need to be written down by the other party's name and place of residence, and if you meet someone who has the ability at home, the mortgaged thing will have to be sent back to others at that time, such as the kind of jade pendant that has been passed on for hundreds of years, and it is also hot to stay.

Jiu Mei Leng has not started the lottery here, waiting for others to arrive in the restaurant she bought, and it will not start until noon, the restaurant has prepared the wine and food, choose this time, whether it is happy or frustrated, you generally need some spirits to comfort yourself.

The lottery things are put away, and the people who came in advance are drinking butter tea or milk tea, while eating a small snack, while waiting for others to hurry up, hoping that they can win once, in fact, they don't come It's okay, there are more people who buy lottery tickets, and the restaurant can't be installed.

They just come here to be a witness, and when the lottery place will post the winning numbers for others to know.

When the three of them were busy planning, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already returned to Luoyang, saw their families, and followed by Xiaobei and a group of little guys.

In the praise county, He Yiwei's affairs have increased, and suddenly there are two less, one is still so long, and a lot of work is pressed on him, fortunately, during this time, the people in the county do not have so many complaints to sue, otherwise he will have to judge the case.

Today, he once again posted the county's financial revenue and expenditure to the door of the yamen, and followed the people to introduce the current situation.

When the people were about to disperse after talking about money, he said: "Don't go yet, there is another thing, there is already a Gyeonggi Province in the place where the Tang Dynasty scenery buildings are placed, and there will be another place coming over soon."

The official feels that the roads in the county are not good enough, and in some places, even if the people next to him help repair them, it is very inconvenient to walk and drive. ”

In the past, he used it if he wanted to, and he didn't need to discuss it with others, but now it can't, he must let the people know the various advantages and disadvantages of spending money, even if it is a small part of the people, as long as most of the people who know agree with it, then it can be implemented, if most of them don't agree, you have to do ideological work, which is very tiring.

It's not just He Yiwei who is tired, but other officials in the county are also busy.

Hearing He Yiwei say that he wanted to take out a thousand guan, the people first looked at each other, hesitating whether to agree, but the money was not much, only a thousand guan.

"He County Order, old man, I want to ask, do Master Zhang and Wang Xiancheng know about this matter?" An old man in the crowd stood up and asked He Yiwei, who was waiting for the people to answer.

"I don't know, it's the official himself." I'm really afraid of anything, He Yiwei really wants to do something by himself, he can't always listen to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he is such a big person, can't he be a county magistrate as a secondary master?

It's not like before, I want to be greedy, I want to occupy, and I am also dedicated to the sake of Praise County, but if I mention something to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan first, and the two of them agree, then the people will agree, and if the two of them say that they will think about it again, the people will not agree after they know about it.

Looking at the old man who asked, He Yiwei couldn't lie, and told the old man the actual situation very helplessly.

In his heart, he was thinking, it's over, it is estimated that his proposal will be denied, this county order is dang, sometimes happy, sometimes depressed to death, I don't know what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan think, let the people decide, what do the people know? If you don't understand, you have to explain it to you.

"It turned out that He Xianling thought, I don't understand other things, the old man, build the road, I agree with the old man, this thing is more and more prosperous, there will be more people coming and going, and a piece of water will be brought over, when the time comes, there will be more businessmen, more rich people, and the road will delay things."

Just when He Yiwei thought that his idea could not be passed, the old man who asked agreed with him.

The young man standing next to the old man also said: "I think it should also be repaired, its practical use is not a thousand, everyone finds some stones, transports them over, and finds a place to repair the road and paves it, and the salary does not need to be given, the spring ploughing has passed, and there are many idlers." ”

There were two people in favor, and other people who had a little insight also agreed, unanimously saying that they should take out a thousand yuan first, and everyone should try to think of ways to save money, and don't spend all the money when the time comes, and after saving, they can do other things for the county.

He Yiwei, who was originally very sad in his heart, heard the words of support from everyone, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded vigorously, "Then according to what everyone said, the official will take out a thousand yuan first, and when the time comes, how much will be used, even if you don't pay the salary, you have to get food, and the official will arrange it." ”

After speaking, the happy He Yiwei hurriedly returned to the yamen to check the map, ready to list the various places that needed to be repaired.

Old man Bi didn't go to Luoyang with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the two of them would come back in a few days, so they didn't have to toss back and forth, and at this time, seeing that He Yiwei's proposal was supported by the people, they also showed a knowing smile.

"I'm really worried that He Yiwei will fail this time, in that case, he will lose confidence in doing things in the future, but I didn't expect to get support."

Old man Zhang was also very happy and said beside him.

Old man Bi stared at the crowd that had dispersed, including an old man and a young man who had spoken first just now, and the two of them walked together and whispered something.

At this time, Old Man Yao spoke.

"Xiaobao and Juan Juan arranged, they are afraid that He Yiwei has no confidence in himself, those two people are from Xiang'er Village, and the old man is Xiang'er's grandfather, Xiaobao and Juan Juan returned to Luoyang, one of the purposes is to give He Yiwei a chance."
