During this time, Niu Ben, the county commander of Qingshi County, was really bald.

It's not that the stones in the county can't be sold, but that during this time, the amount of stones needed greatly exceeds the maximum amount they can produce every day.

For this situation, it is simply painful and happy!

After all, although Qingshi County owns this stone mine.

But this stone mine is not iron ore, or gold, silver, copper, or other ores.

Most of the people who could need stones were the fishermen along the coast who didn't have much money.

The business of selling stones before belonged to the state that the people of the entire Qingshi County could not eat, but they could not starve to death.

Niu Ben was quite satisfied with this state before.

After all, compared with Nanyue Fucheng, the people in Qingshi County, where he is located, at least have something to eat.

Of course, when Chen Tai was Futai before, Niu Ben wanted to take the people in the county town to beg for an explanation several times to ask His Majesty for an explanation!

However, thinking about dragging his family with his mouth, the Niu family of the family still endured that breath after all.

At that time, the fishermen along the coast fled one after another.

There are fewer and fewer people who buy stones.

Fortunately, Niu Ben was not suitable for growing grain because the land in Qingshi County, so all the silver sold by the stone mine was exchanged for grain by him and secretly hidden.

It is also because of the existence of this batch of grain that the people of the entire Qingshi County did not die of hunger.

However, it is naturally impossible for Niu Ben to let the people in the county eat their bellies.

If the big guys are hungry, the people in your county will all eat with red faces.

Without others coming to Qingshi County for trouble, Chen Tai will be the first to not let go of Qingshi County.

After all, Niu Ben was low and small in front of Chen Tai before, which made Chen Tai think that Qingshi County only had stones, and nothing else.

Even if you want to scrape the oil and water, you can't scrape it out, you can only scrape out a layer of stone powder.

Qingshi County also had such a good county order that everyone survived.

After Xinfutai took office, Niu Ben was also envious of the high-yield crops provided by Xinfutai.

But what's the use of envy, the key is that their county is not suitable for planting!

Therefore, I can only go back to my old business and sell stones.

Fortunately, Futai is a good one, and it is also serious for the sake of the people.

When the fishermen who had run away came back, they began to need stones again.

As long as someone buys stones, Niu Ben will find a way to exchange the silver for grain and re-store it in the granary that he had secretly taken out to help the common people.

Although there are more people buying stones, Niu Ben always feels that there are still too few.

Before the grain in the granary was full, Niu Ben didn't feel safe.

Just when he was worried that the money he earned couldn't buy much food, he didn't expect such a big list to come.

Originally, he had left some of it for the others.

After all, if this stone is only sold to one family, others cannot buy it, and if they do not buy their stone in the future, it will outweigh the loss.

Niu Ben felt that he couldn't make a hammer deal.

But he didn't expect that this Liu Hu would be able to get the warrant of the new Futai.

With the warrant of the new Futai, it is naturally impossible for Niu Ben to leave some of it, and it is all given to Liu Hu.

But even so, Liu Hu still felt that it was not enough.

Niu Ben was a little suspicious, could it be that the main family behind Liu Hu was building a castle?

The stones pulled away during this period are already the amount sold in Qingshi County in half a year.

However, Niu Ben knew that since this matter was brought forward by the new Futai, it was best for him, a small county magistrate, to pretend that he didn't know anything.

Anyway, every time Liu Hu came over, he gave him enough silver.

However, no matter how much silver is sufficient, it is really better to ask for silver than for grain in Nanyue Prefecture today.

Therefore, seeing the people in the stone mines, working day and night to dig stones, Niu Ben can't let them find a way to buy food and eat it by themselves, right?

Why don't you let this Liu Hu help buy the food that all the people in Qingshi County need?

Anyway, this Liu Hu can get the warrant of the new Lord Futai, so it should be a piece of cake to get some food.

Niu Ben touched his already thinning few hairs, because they were too thin, the bun on the top of his head was not tied up.

"Niu County Order, you said you want grain, not silver?"

Liu Hu was a little surprised by Niu County's request, but after being surprised, he felt a little clear.

Thinking of what the old lady had said to him before, Liu Hu calmed down.

"I don't know how much food do you want?

As long as the number of stones per day can reach the required amount, the matter of food, it is easy to say. ”

Seeing Liu Hu come to the yamen again to ask, Niu Ben was taking care of his hair and losing a lot of hair.

In order not to lose his hair again, Niu Ben directly said his request.

And, he's still a little nervous.

After all, all the counties under the jurisdiction of Nanyue Prefecture have been more or less exploited by Chen Tai.

Every county is the kind of poor jingle ring, and finally came a Futai master who thinks about the people.

In addition to paying taxes, they only have enough to eat the grain they grow now, and where is the surplus to sell to others.

This is also the reason why Niu Ben has silver in hand, but he can't buy much grain.

And the grain shops in the city of Nanyue Prefecture were all managed by the new Lord Futai at the beginning.

However, I heard that the Hongchang Grain Store has recently reopened.

It's just that although the Zhao family's grain store is open, it stipulates that the grain sold cannot exceed ten catties per person to buy.

In this regard, the new Lord Futai also agrees very much.

Niu Ben is not a fool, and he quickly reacted, this grain store opened by the Zhao family sells grain like this, I am afraid that someone will maliciously store grain, resulting in ordinary people will not be able to buy grain, which will cause the price of grain to rise again.

This method is naturally good, but for Qingshi County, Niu Ben feels that it is a little unfriendly.

"Can you really get food?"

Originally, Niu Ben, who was just thinking about whether there were dates or not, immediately widened his eyes and asked.

"My old lady has a Zhuangzi in Mingzhou Mansion, and there is a lot of grain grown in the Zhuangzi.

Now, as long as the Niu County Order can get the daily amount of this stone in place, the matter of food is naturally no problem. ”

Liu Hu replied to Niu Ben with a smile.

"Mingzhou Mansion?

Then thank you to the old lady of your house, the more food, the better.

As for this stone, please rest assured that Steward Liu will definitely do it as required. ”

When Niu Ben heard this, he was stunned, but he knew that although this Mingzhou Mansion was adjacent to Nanyue Mansion, Mingzhou Mansion was much more prosperous and wealthy than Nanyue Mansion.

Then he became happy again, and replied to Liu Hu with a joyful face.
