Before arriving at the Li Mansion, Fan Jinyan carefully calculated that the peasant families in this era generally had two meals a day, and the average person counted one pound of rice per day.

According to the Ming Dynasty, one stone is one hundred and twenty catties, and one stone of rice can be eaten for four months, and one person needs about three stones a year. The people of Yazhou are close to 200,000, and the annual consumption is close to 600,000 stones.

Of course, this is just compensation, it is impossible to calculate according to normal consumption, and people are still divided into old and young, strong and thin. Therefore, according to one person and one stone, it is also nearly 200,000 stones.

200,000 is also not a small amount, at least now Fan Jinyan can't get it. In addition, the crop cycle cannot be so long, generally about three months, so the compensation is reduced to 70,000 stones.

If you ask Li Tong to take out 70,000 stone of grain, it is estimated that it will be no fun. In addition, the seeds exchanged from the system are not enough to spread throughout the state, and at most they can be distributed to two or three thousand households. In this way, the compensation only needs more than 3,000 stones.

Of course, what Fan Jinyan said to Li Tong was 4,000 stones, and it would take about 10,000 taels to convert it into silver.

Li Tong thought that this Shangguan would ask for one or two hundred stones, but he didn't expect that there would be so many lions with their mouths, and he was so frightened that he almost fell on his head.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Li Tong swallowed his saliva and said with a forced smile: "My lord, although Xia Guan has some family business, but with so much food, Xia Guan really can't take it out!" ”

Fan Jinyan also knew that no one would be reluctant to take out so much food at once. However, this is a major matter related to the food and clothing of the people, and I have to take it out if I am reluctant to do so.

But Fan Jinyan was afraid that Li Tong would not eat hard, so he said softly: "Li Tongzhi, the official also said just now, this matter is related to the people's livelihood, and you should support it more!" What's more, didn't the official say it? This is borrowed. ”

After speaking, he pretended to be unhappy and said, "What? Are you worried that the official can't afford to pay it back? ”

"No, no, no, the lower officials don't dare, it's just that four thousand stone grain is not a small amount. I also hope that the adults will be accommodating, and the quasi-subordinate officials will prepare, you see" The fat on Li Tong's face jumped involuntarily. Finally, for the sake of his future, he gritted his teeth and endured.

It can be seen that Li Tong didn't expect Fan Jinyan to return him at all, the reason why he agreed was not because of Fan Jinyan's background, he hoped that his position could rise one more level, the best, it was the prefect of Qiongzhou, who would continue to be the king and hegemon here, and be the emperor of the soil here.

Li Tong agreed, Fan Jinyan also had a matter on his mind, and the next banquet was also very pleasant. There is also an intentional or unintentional on-demand Li Tong, Lao Tzu is optimistic about you, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future. Li Tong also expressed his desire to be in Qiongzhou, intentionally or unintentionally, as for the prefect He Yi and his in-laws Cheng Zhou, to hell!

The food problem was solved, and early that morning, Fan Jinyan ordered someone to call the boss of the money bank.

Suddenly summoned by Xinzhizhou, the boss of the money bank with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was frightened, and thought that someone had sued him. Fortunately, it was the official in the yamen who came to summon him, and after using the money, he learned that it was Lord Zhizhou who was summoned orally, saying that he was just asking for something.

For the sake of insurance, the boss of the money village still asked the guy to find his acquaintance Li Tong, so as not to be caught inexplicably, and there was no one to save him

"The villain Zhang Dacai has seen the old man of Zhizhou, I don't know if the old man called the little one, what is the so-called thing?" As soon as the boss of the money village stepped into the yamen lobby, his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground and practiced etiquette.

After Fan Jinyan accepted this salute safely, he put on a smiling face and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang is exempt from courtesy, sit." ”

After the servant served tea, he continued: "Find a shopkeeper today, there is indeed something to discuss." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Dacai breathed a sigh of relief, it shouldn't be a bad thing to be so polite, "If the master has something, just tell the villain." ”

After a few polite sentences, Fan Jinyan said: "That's the case, this official wants to deposit a sum of money in Guiqian Village." ”

Your sister! Saving money and making such a big battle scared Lao Tzu to death.

Although he scolded in his heart, on the surface, Zhang Dacai still pretended to be flattered, "I don't know how many taels of silver do adults want to save?" This is for you to do the small ones? ”

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to what the official has to say." Fan Jinyan smiled and said, "This official intends to deposit the three thousand taels of silver in the state treasury in Guiqian Zhuang for three months. But this deposit is different, during the period, if people go to your bank with a certificate issued by the state government, you have to exchange it truthfully according to the amount on the certificate. Of course, if not, after three months, the official will redeem it. “

After listening to this, the people who opened the money bank were all shrewd people, and after listening to it, they asked: "My lord, what if I don't have enough to pay?" What if someone makes a fraudulent claim? ”

Fan Jinyan shook his head and said with a noncommittal smile: "You can rest assured that whoever is eligible to receive the money and how much it will receive will be recorded by the government, and at the same time, it will also give you an inspection of the money bank." Moreover, the voucher is in triplicate, which is the government, the money bank, and the people take one each, and the three-point voucher will only be stamped with a large seal, and the three copies need to be checked together before the money can be withdrawn. As for what you said, don't worry! The official has calculated, enough, if it is not enough, how much worse, the government will not lack you. ”

After getting the boss of the money bank, Fan Jinyan ordered someone to print 30,000 copies of the agreement. After everything was ready and the food was in place, he ordered the village elders from the surrounding villages and towns to come to the state city.

Originally, Fan Jinyan planned to release the news now, all voluntarily, but then he thought about it, wouldn't it be embarrassing if no one signed up. In the end, it was decided that it would be better to deal with it in a low-key manner.

Soon, Li Zheng of the three towns and village elders of more than a dozen villages gathered in the lobby of the state capital, although they knew that Li Tong and the judge Cheng Xuan did not want to participate in Fan Jinyan's well-fed mobilization meeting. But because of Shangguan's face, the boss was still unwilling to sit on both sides and listen to Fan Jinyan's nagging.

Fan Jinyan worked very hard to explain the benefits of the new crops to these Lizheng village elders on the case, and also encouraged them to go down to publicize it, and also talked about the compensation issues of compensation and prevention one by one.

At first, these people didn't take these so-called crops very seriously, thinking that at most, they would go back and ask the villagers to cultivate a little bit and make a fool of themselves. But the more I listened, the more frightened I became. Lord Zhizhou doesn't seem to be joking, regardless of the harvest, a stone of rice will be distributed according to the head? If the harvest does not achieve the expected effect, the state government can still compensate, and the people can just go to the money bank to withdraw the money themselves? Is there such a good thing? When did the official become so good?

Gradually, more and more people began to be tempted, perhaps, these inconspicuous and strange things may really solve the problem of food and clothing for the villagers.

Not only are these Lizheng Village elders tempted, but even the boss is not happy, Li Tong and Cheng Guan, who came to make up the number, are also tempted, how much silver do you have to exchange for such a high-yield thing? If you don't pick the ground, you can also plant it on the hillside? Can I try it myself?
