Chapter 297: The person with the most grain reserves in ten miles and eight townships
"It seems that you have already organized people, and that's just right, I just have something for you to do." Wei Ruodao.
"Young owner, please command." Although he was reluctant in his heart, Zhao Hai also had to agree, they were from the owner's family, and listening to the owner's orders was the most important thing they should do.
"You don't seem to be very willing?" Wei Ruo asked.
"The little ones don't dare."
I don't dare, but I do not want to.
Wei Ruo chuckled and said, "In a while, six truckloads of wheat will be transported from Younan Farm, so you can take the people you organized to move the wheat." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Hai was stunned, raised his head, and looked directly at Wei Ruo.
was already a wooden face, but now it is no different from a piece of wood.
"Young owner, you say...... Wheat...... Wheat? ”
Wei Ruo's words shocked Zhao Hai into a stammer.
"Yes, six carts of wheat, do the people in Zhuangzi know how to make noodles?" Wei Ruo asked.
There aren't many people who make pasta in the South, and not everyone knows how to make pasta.
Zhao Hai hadn't recovered from the previous news that shocked him, and in the face of Wei Ruo's next question, he still looked sluggish and didn't answer for a long time.
Xiumei said angrily: "Why are you stunned?" The young master asked you, there are people in Zhuangzi who can make pasta, right? Don't divide the wheat when you go back, and you don't know how to make it into food! ”
"Are you really going to give us wheat?" Zhao Hai still couldn't believe it.
"It's not for free, and when the autumn harvest comes, I'll take back the same amount of rice." Wei Ruodao.
Although he is a tenant in his own Zhuangzi, Wei Ruo will not do such a large-scale gift of grain.
Sometimes it is difficult to be a good person, and if you give it unconditionally, it is inevitable that there will be greedy and insufficient recipients.
Zhao Hai was still distracted, and the subordinates in the Zhuangzi ran to inform him: The remaining steward of Younan Farm arrived at Caili Farm with the convoy.
"Steward Zhao, call your people to move the wheat."
Wei Ruo's voice successfully recalled Zhao Hai's thoughts, he nodded in a daze, and then ran quickly in the direction of the Zhuangzi gate, shouting as he ran.
When they saw the six carts of wheat parked at the gate of the farmer, Zhao Hai and the others at the Fence Farm were so excited that they couldn't speak.
Steward Yu came over and said to Zhao Hai with a smile: "Steward Zhao, the wheat has been delivered, you can quickly arrange for someone to move in." ”
"Yes, yes, move wheat, move wheat!" Zhao Hai said excitedly.
Wei Ruo walked slowly to the gate, and when Steward Yu saw her, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Dongjia." ”
Wei Ruo nodded, and then said to Zhao Hai: "Steward Zhao, this is Steward Yu, from today onwards, the affairs of Zhuangzi's accounts will be managed by him in a unified manner, but your identity as a steward will not change, and the monthly money I give you will not change, and I will have other more important work arrangements for you later." ”
Zhao Hai is honest and honest, and he is willing to work, but he is not suitable for managing accounts.
For the sake of convenience, Wei Ruo planned to hand over the accounts of the two farms to the Yu Steward for unified jurisdiction, and as for Zhao Hai, he had a better place to shine.
Zhao Hai nodded: "Listen to the arrangement of the young owner." ”
"Now you go and inform the tenants in Zhuangzi that I am going to deliver wheat, and you let them line up to come and receive it, sign and press their fingerprints after receiving it, and wait until the autumn harvest time to pay an extra twenty catties of rent." Wei Ruo explained to Zhao Hai.
"Okay, I'll let you know." This time, Zhao Hai reacted quite quickly, and immediately ran down to comply with Wei Ruo's order.
After Zhao Hai left, Steward Yu sighed with emotion: "The farmers of this fence farm are all blessed, and when you meet the owner, you don't have to sell your house and children like other people outside." ”
"You just treat me as a businessman, advance some food for them, and you have to come back again." Wei Ruodao.
"The proprietor is humble again." Steward Yu said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, the manager Yu sighed with emotion: "Now these ten miles and eight townships, the grain in the warehouse is rich, I am afraid that there is only the owner of you, and the other families are all stretched, although some landlords take care of themselves is not a problem, but it is impossible to take out the grain to divide the tenants." ”
Of course, Wei Ruo knew that there were not many people in the Taizhou capital who had as much food as her, and I was afraid that even the granary of the official mansion did not have so much grain reserves as Wei Ruo.
Wei Ruo doesn't plan to sell grain now, and even the grain shop in Xingshan County has recently been closed.
"Don't say this outside, let's just close the door and be ourselves." Wei Ruo told the rest of the housekeeper.
"Don't worry, owner, I will also sigh a few words in front of you, don't talk about the outside, and I won't say anything about the people under my hands."
"Well, let's go, let's go into the Zhuangzi and finish today's business."
After Wei Ruo finished speaking, he and the two of them entered the fence farm together, and then began to distribute wheat to the tenants who came to collect the wheat.

At the same time, the school captain's mansion, Cangyun Yuan.
Yun was worried about the account books.
Last year, Zhuangzi's income was not very good, and the shop was also a loss, I thought it would be better this year, but so far this year, the situation in Zhuangzi is not optimistic, not to mention, the shop has lost a lot of money.
And just now she also received a letter from the capital, saying that the eldest brother in the family had an accident when he was drunk and beat someone, and the house sold the land and exchanged it for a lot of silver to settle the matter.
As a result, the capital will not be able to subsidize them this year, and it may even be impossible to take care of themselves.
Although her husband's income has risen now, after arriving in the city, two people have been added to the house, and the daily expenses have also increased.
The eldest son studied at the academy, and the expenses were even greater.
Yun rubbed his temples, no matter how he calculated, this year's food shortage could not be filled.
And to buy grain, with the current price of grain, the financial situation of the government is very tight.
I really don't know what to do.
Xintian, which I just purchased at the beginning of this year, didn't want to think that it had not been a few months, because of the loss of the shop, weather changes and other reasons, it had reached a situation where I didn't know how to operate.
After looking at it for a long time without results, Yun pushed the account book aside, and when he wanted to change his thoughts, he caught a glimpse of the tea bags placed in the corner of the table.
Yun looked at the tea bag in a trance.
This is a gift given to herself by Mrs. Xu when she came to visit her a few days ago, and it is a black tea that has risen in the city recently.
If Ruo'er and the Xu family's marriage can be successful, with the help of the Xu family, the Wei family's current predicament should be solved, right?

Wei Yichen waited in the mansion for a long time, and finally waited for Wei Qingwan to return home.
After the little servant sent to wait at the door came to report, Wei Yichen quickly came to the gate of Wangmei Garden and asked Cuihe to call Wei Qingwan to the gate of the courtyard.
"Big brother is in such a hurry to find me, but what's the matter?" Wei Qingwan asked softly.
