Chapter 218: Collect three or five more buckets

The heavy rain has stopped, and the autumn is crisp.

After two days of sun exposure, the earth returned to dryness, and the entire Guanzhong area was golden. It's time for the Mid-Autumn Festival again.

Industrious farmers are taking advantage of the good weather to rush to the fields to harvest the grain.

Last year, the whole Guanzhong built water conservancy, and the whole summer was also considered to be smooth and rainy, and it is not surprising that this year was a bumper harvest year, and the output increased by at least 30% compared with previous years.

Father Ma has a family of seven, Father Ma lost his wife at an early age, leaving three sons, the eldest son is married, and has a son and a daughter.

As soon as the sky cleared, Daddy Ma's family went into battle to harvest the grains at home in the shortest possible time and dry them.

The three sons took turns loading the grain into sacks, loading it onto ox carts, and preparing to pull it down to the Lord's house for sale.

"The price of grain before the rain is still seventy Wen, I hope I can sell it at a high price this time!" Father Ma drove the ox cart and hoped that the cost of his two sons' marriage would depend on this year's batch of grain.

There was a lot of grain on the cart, Daddy Ma was driving the ox cart in front, his two sons got off the cart and pushed, the eldest son stayed at home to continue to work, the ox cart was still very difficult, walking slowly,

Fortunately, after walking a short distance, we arrived at the brick road, and when we got on the brick road, the speed of the ox cart accelerated.

After a while, he came to the granary of the Lu family, the head of the family.

"What, thirty wen and one bucket!" In front of the granary, Daddy Ma exclaimed.

"Yes, it's thirty wen and one bucket!" An accountant with a rat's whisker said without raising his eyelids, holding a quill in his hand and dangling it constantly.

It is said that it was invented by His Royal Highness the Acting King. Of course, he couldn't afford the noble Peacock Feather as an account keeper, but the shrewd merchant had already figured out a way to replace the Peacock Feather with goose feathers, which was cheap and affordable.

I have to say that using the peacock feather to keep accounts is much faster than holding a brush before, and the account room with a few mouse whiskers showed off the goose quills in his hand.

"Before the rain, the price of grain was not seventy wen a bucket?" Father Ma was dissatisfied, and their whole family wanted to use this grain to improve their lives, if it was really sold for thirty yuan a bucket. I'm afraid it's not as good as the previous disaster years?

"That's it. The new grain has not been beaten, why don't you say that at the highest time, it was still a hundred wen per bucket? Now the new grain has been laid. The price is of course different. It's still early in your family. In a few days, after all the new grain is down, the price will fall. Said the bookkeeper with a few whiskers.

"You don't sell it, if you don't sell it. Is there anyone waiting in the back? The bookkeeper with a few rat whiskers dissatisfied

"I ......" Father Ma was very reluctant in his heart, he really didn't want to sell his grain so cheaply.

"Dad, don't sell it, now that the grain is so cheap, it's better to wait until the price is high to sell it!" The second son of the Ma family was also reluctant to sell at this time.

"That's it! Dad, will we suffer a big loss if we sell at this time? The third son also persuaded.

The bookkeeper with a few rat whiskers smiled and said, "Old man Ma, this is your boy!" I heard that you are about to get married, and you don't sell it now, so what is the bride price! Then what is the payment of taxes and rent? ”

"Besides, you are a new valley, and in addition to the water, there are already a lot of thirty wen and one bucket, and if you don't sell it, someone is willing to sell it." The rat whisker account room pointed to the crowd in the back and said bewildermently.

"Hey! The situation is stronger than people, and we can't wait for June or July next year! ”

"My family still owes a lot of money to the landlord's family, so I have to sell these grains!"

"It is said that not long ago, the Lu family wanted to raise the price of grain and was suppressed by His Royal Highness the Acting King, and they lost a lot, and now they are going to get it back on us!"

Everyone said angrily. In fact, this is not the first time this has been the case, and the tragic stories of how many three or five buckets are staged every year in this season.

"If His Royal Highness knew about our situation, he would definitely help us." A strong man sighed.

"That's it! ......" The others also nodded, and praised the benevolence and righteousness of His Royal Highness the Acting King in the hearts of all the people in Guanzhong.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King has also been keeping food prices down! In the past, His Royal Highness the Acting King lowered the price of grain from 100 Wen 1 bucket to 70 Wen 1 bucket, and you let him buy Xingu 70 Wen 1 Dou to try! "The rat whisker account room took it out of context and poured cold water.

At that time, the price of grain was too high, and His Royal Highness the Acting King lowered the price of grain, but now it is not the same as in the past.

But after all, the peasants had no knowledge and did not understand the specific situation, and believed that His Royal Highness the Acting King was also suppressing grain prices, and they all fell silent.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King acquires the new valley seventy wen one dou." At this moment, a shout came.

"Seventy Wen One Bucket!"

Immediately everyone was in an uproar.

Seventy Wen Yidou, this is not a dream! That's the price of food at a time when there is a shortage of greens.

Everyone looked back one after another, only to see Daddy Ma's eldest son running over panting.

In front of the Ma family's eldest son, Daddy Ma on the runway, took a breath and said: "Dad, Li Zheng has posted a notice to purchase Xingu Seventy Wen Yidou on behalf of His Royal Highness the King!" If it is transported to Yongfeng Cang, it will be seventy-five Wen and one bucket. ”

"Seriously!"

Father Ma grabbed his eldest son and said in surprise, he couldn't believe it.

"Of course! The notices have been posted, and there is a print of His Royal Highness the Acting King on it? The eldest son of the Ma family affirmed.

After getting his son's affirmation, Daddy Ma laughed in ecstasy, and two lines of turbid tears flowed.

After a lifetime of planting, it's finally time for the good season.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King is benevolent!" The crowd burst into tears of joy.

He didn't expect His Royal Highness the Acting King to really buy seventy Wen Yidou, and he immediately ran to the mansion of the head of the family, and the news should be reported to the head of the house as soon as possible.

"Where did His Royal Highness the Acting King buy?" Daddy Ma said happily.

"There are acquisitions in the county seat of Zheng County, and the taxes are paid first, and the excess is purchased at the price of seventy wen a bucket." The eldest son said.

"Dad, let's go to Yongfeng Cang to sell it! There are seventy-five wen and one bucket. The second son interjected.

Father Ma glanced at his second son, and said angrily, "We are from Zheng County, Yongfeng Cang is in Huayin County, although the two counties are adjacent to each other, if we pull down Yongfeng Cang and our road expenses, we will post it upside down!" Be content! Seventy wen and one bucket is already enough. ”

The second son touched his head embarrassedly, and the family of four turned around the ox cart and marched along the straight brick road to the county seat of Zheng County.

Along the way, there were dense ox carts, and people laughed and laughed, all of them were going to Zheng County to sell for a high price of 70 wen a bucket.

"Smack!"

Expensive porcelain bowls fell to the ground and shattered to the ground.

The head of the Lu family suddenly stood up, and then sat down again.

"Seventy-five wen one bucket, unlimited acquisition." The head of the Lu family had a wry smile on his face.

He finally knew how firm His Royal Highness's promise was, it was even more true than real money.

In ancient times, there was a promise of a thousand gold, and His Royal Highness the Acting King made a light promise, but there was more than ten thousand gold!

"The Zheng family is also acquired according to the seventy Wen one bucket!" For a long time, the head of the Zheng family said decadently.

When all the big landlords heard Yang Yu's offer to buy Xingu, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

When Qinghuang is not connected, it is also seventy Wen and one bucket, and when Xingu comes down, it is also seventy Wen and one bucket, whether His Royal Highness the Acting King really has the world in mind, or does he not want to be controlled by others again.

Sure enough, when the grain pulled down the county seat of Zheng County, Xingu was seventy wen and one bucket, as long as it was qualified, all of them were purchased unconditionally.

Father Ma was full of an ox cart of grain, and after paying the field rent, he sold it for an extra five yuan.

The Ma family father and son made a lot of purchases in Zheng County, and prepared to hold a wedding for their two sons when they returned home.

What if I don't have enough money? It's okay! There's also an oxcart of millet at home!

Such a happy event was staged in every peasant household in Guanzhong.

In any case, Yang Yun, the acting king, won the hearts of all the audience at once.

From now on, such a thing as Gu Bei hurting the peasants will never happen in Guanzhong again, and even if someone dares to say a bad word about His Royal Highness the Acting King, someone will immediately come forward to give you a theory.

The hearts of the people in Guanzhong have completely fallen to Yang Yu. (To be continued......)
