Chapter 505: Cute (1st Update)
"How much are you going to sell, Captain?" Lian Wanquan suddenly looked at his brother curiously and asked.
"I'll make up a whole number, five hundred catties!" Lian Li Chang said briskly, "It's just a loose three sacks!" His gaze swept over them and said, "People give money, not taxes, they must pay, and there is no money yet." ”
"Then we might as well sell it to a private grain store in the city! Its price is five copper plates higher than the price of the government. ”
"Five copper plates?" Lian Wanyou said with a slap.
"Five copper plates, and you'll sell yourself." Lian Li looked at them with a dark face and said, "Grandma's famine year, how could he treat us, the price of the grain is high, and we can't afford to buy a grain of wheat if we smash the pot and sell iron." Even if you buy it, it's mixed with wheat bran. This black-hearted guy, are you going to sell him grain? ”
"Don't sell, don't sell, resolutely don't sell." The big guys are angry with the enemy.
It's really too dark for this black-hearted businessman, and it evokes their painful memories.
"I sold it to Lord Lu, he is a good official and a good person."
"Yes, yes, yes! If there is grain, they will not sell it to black-hearted merchants. ”
The black-hearted merchant aroused everyone's anger and reached an agreement at once, and the company commander looked at them happily and said, "Then let's go home and make arrangements, push the wheelbarrow, and then send it to the mansion." ”

"Who did you say was coming?" Lord Lu raised his head from the file and looked at the messenger of the report.
"The lowly position means that Gao Mancang has come to sell grain in a mule cart." The servant replied, "There are a thousand catties of humble duty." ”
"So much?" Lord Lu looked at him in surprise and said.
"Yejiatian has a lot of production." The messenger raised his eyes slightly and looked at him and said.
"I knew that, I just didn't expect it." Lord Lu curled the corners of his lips slightly and said with a smile, "The people who asked the grain depot to receive people well, don't be embarrassed." The index finger nodded at him and said, "What wheat is not dried, and the wheat grains are shriveled." I don't know, but I've seen it myself. ”
"Yes!" The officer bowed his hand and withdrew from the second hall.
Lord Lu really didn't expect that the notice had been posted for more than 20 days, and no one had come to sell food.
He's so anxious! But what can be done?
This gong and drum are all used, and all the towns and villages have been notified, but people just don't sell it.
It's useless for him to tear his throat, but this can't be hard!
The front foot just said that it is exempt from taxes, and the back foot grabs grain, what is the difference between it and the previous dynasty.
He also understands that this is poor and afraid, so he finally saved some food and didn't panic when he held it in his hand.
But the imperial court was fighting in front, and because of the heavy rain in the south, the grain and grass transferred from the south were delayed on the road.
The corners of his mouth were foaming in such a hurry.
He wanted to beg them personally.
This Ye Sanniang, this is the bridge repaired, so I came by car.
Go back and let your wife thank her properly.
About an hour later, the company commander and the others either jumped on a flat pole or pushed a wheelbarrow to the palace.
The errand officer climbed into the second hall with a roll, "Lord Lu, the yamen ...... ...... at the door"
"Calm down, what's wrong?" Lord Lu pressed down with his hands and looked at him and said.
"It's like cotton seeds outside, and they are here to send food." The officer looked at him with very bright eyes and said excitedly.
"Yikes!" Lord Lu stood up and looked at him and said, "Let's go and have a look." He walked around the table and strode out.
&*&
The company commander and the others squatted at the entrance of the yamen, wiping their sweat with the cloth towel hanging around their necks.
When the company commander saw Lord Lu coming out, he immediately stood up and saluted, "Lord Lu." ”
"Why are you here?" Lord Lu looked at them with a happy face and said.
"It's not like the yamen posted a notice, we have a bumper harvest this year, and we are here." Lian Li looked at him with a smile and said, "It's not much, at least five hundred catties per family." ”
"Enough, enough, a lot." Lord Lu bowed to them, "Thank you, folks." ”
"Thank you for this, who is not selling this grain!" Lian Li Chang looked at him honestly and said.
Lord Lu looked at them with a moving expression, moved his lips, and the words that came to his lips still didn't come out, it involved military affairs, and he couldn't talk nonsense.
"Look when I'm going to be in storage!" Lian Li looked at him with a smile and said.
"Let's go! I'll send you over personally," Lu Da said enthusiastically.
It's just that this enthusiasm is like fire, and it scared the company commander and them.
Go to the grain depot to hand over the grain, where can I use it, the prefect personally went out.
Lord Lu doesn't care what they think? Called to them in a daze, "Let's go! ”
"Oh oh oh!" The commander of the company hurriedly pushed the wheelbarrow, opened his voice and said, "The old and young masters of Hedong Village are leaving!" ”
"How's this freshly repaired bridge?" Lord Lu asked with concern.
"Okay!" Lian Li looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm pushing a wheelbarrow and jumping a flat pole, so many people are okay when they cross the bridge." Okay! ”
The corners of Lord Lu's mouth twitched when he heard this, "Okay!" ”
&*&
With the drive of Hedong Village, Hexi Village immediately followed, and other villages and towns also responded positively.
Lord Lu raised more food than he originally thought, and looking at the numbers on the bookcase, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"What are you looking at? It's all grinning to the root of my ears. Mrs. Lu stood in front of the bookcase and looked at him with a smile on her face and said.
"Look at the food raised." Lord Lu lit up the file on the bookcase and smiled like a child.
"Wow...... So much. Mrs. Lu looked at him in surprise and said.
"Yes! That's why I'm happy. Lord Lu let out a long breath and said with a moving expression, "I really didn't expect it, I thought it was over this time, and the croppers valued food more than their own lives." He took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect it!" "They're cute, and if you're nice to them, they'll pay it back ten, a hundred." ”
"yes!" Mrs. Lu looked at him tenderly and said, "They know that it's a good thing, the price of grain shops in the city is higher than ours, and no one sells it." ”
At the mention of this Lord Lu, Lord Lu's eyes instantly became cold, "I'll clean him up when I turn around, for the rich and unkind guy." ”

"Uh-huh! The flour from the new wheat is delicious. Ye Yanxing swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth and said, "The dry steamed buns have a hint of sweetness." ”
"Don't gnaw! There are dishes here. Fold the kite and nodded to the delicacies on the long table.
"Okay." Ye Yanxing picked up the roasted eggplant and put it in his mouth.
"Then remember to send the wheat bran to the pig farm! Pigs love to eat this. Ye Sanniang said in her mind.
"I know, I know, I've saved a flat load, and I'll send it over when I go to the pig farm tomorrow." Gao Mancang's dark eyes looked at her and said seriously.
