"Your Excellency." Yang Zheng was so busy that he couldn't get out, and when he saw Meng Changqing coming, he just nodded and said hello.

Meng Changqing walked towards him, and saw that the things he remembered were a little illegible, so he took the brush in his hand and sat down to take notes.

The big left head next to him is collecting grain, not only to check the weight of the grain, but also to check the quality, and after confirming that there is no problem, report the number to the person who registers next to him.

"Seven groups on the west side, eight stones of rice and six hundred pounds of sweet potatoes." After Zuo Datou finished reporting, Meng Changqing also finished memorizing, and Yang Zheng looked at the back with envy, "How can I remember it so hard with this hand, I am more awkward than carrying anything." ”

Meng Changqing recorded in his hand that he still had time to gossip with Yang Zheng, "There is a specialization in the art industry, Brother Yang is a hero on the battlefield, so you don't have to worry about these little things." ”

"I always thought I could help you and save you something." Yang Zheng said, "It's a pity that my hand is too stupid, and the faster I think about it, the easier it is to make mistakes." ”

"It's like that for everyone." Meng Changqing said, "If someone asks me to do something I'm not good at, even if I want to do it well, I can't do it well for a while." ”

"Hey." Yang Zheng sighed, "My lord, if there is no suitable person among us, you can find a master like Lord Mao in Yangmen County." ”

"There's a master." Meng Changqing looked at Xi Bei, who was leading the horse around the front door, "Master Xi." ”

Yang Zheng was slightly surprised, "Are you kidding, Brother Xi's words are not as good as me." ”

Meng Changqing laughed twice, listened to the numbers reported by Zuo Datou, and then wrote them down in the account book.

"How much does Curry have now?" Meng Changqing asked.

"Two warehouses have been filled, and now these must be stored in the third warehouse." Yang Zheng said, "Remember, I went over to watch them move." ”

The harvest lasted until midnight, not because it was too slow, but because it was close to the evening when the people began to pay the grain.

There is no way, I have to go to the field to harvest during the day, and I don't have time to pay the grain.

Meng Changqing was also unwilling to delay the people to go to the ground because of the delivery of grain, so he would rather stay up for a few nights by himself.

"Bafang, you write some serial numbers to those people behind, let them go back with the serial number paper, what to do, almost wait until they come back."

Bafang neatly wrote and cut it and handed it to the people at the back of the team, "You still have some time when it is your turn, take advantage of this time to go back to eat or sleep, whatever you do, don't wait here empty." ”

The people in the team took the serial number paper, but they looked at each other, and no one could take the paper and walk away with confidence.

"What's wrong?" Bafang asked them, "Why are you willing to wait here without moving?" You're here in line, and it will take more than an hour to get your turn, to say the least. ”

"An hour is not long." Luo Sanmu smiled at the eight directions, "Our family just takes turns to guard." ”

Bafang frowned and returned to Meng Changqing's side, "In vain for your kindness, these people would rather take turns guarding the house than go back to rest." ”

"If there are many people in the family, they can indeed take turns to guard." When Meng Changqing spoke, the movements recorded in his hands did not stop, "They are worried about the food and refuse to let the food out of sight, just let them go, go and talk to Captain Zhang, and let him take people to carefully inspect at night to prevent food grabbing among the people." You go to the stove room again, and ask Brother Dai to boil some water and make some dry food to send to the people in line. ”

"Hey, I'll go."

After queuing for nearly an hour, it was finally their turn.

Ma Laifu and their team leader carried the grain to the place designated by the government.

Left head went to the side and hurriedly took a sip of water, and then came back again, "Open all your pockets." ”

He personally inspected the quality of each bag, especially the sweet potatoes, and if there was too much soil in the bag, he would return the bag in the bag.

There were two such incidents in the front, and the people in the back poured out their sweet potatoes on the spot to clean up.

So many people get together to pay the grain, if it is handed over at one time, then it only needs to be lined up once, if the grain is returned by the government, it has to be re-arranged, and it is their own time that is wasted.

So as soon as you realize that there is something wrong with your own food, you should immediately deal with it and fix it before it is your turn.

Meng Changqing persuaded them while collecting the grain, there are too many people queuing up now, and if there is still a place to put it at home, they can hand it over later, as long as they hand over the grain that should be handed over before October 15.

However, the people always have something to worry about, they are worried that the grain will be stolen at home, and they are worried that when there are fewer people in the future, they will come to hand over the grain, and the officers and soldiers will investigate more harshly.

Ma Laifu and their group smoothly handed over the grain, "Our group has paid it off, and it can be regarded as a loss of heart, and it will be our own to collect it later!" The team leader yawned, "It's finally over, hurry home and sleep, recuperate, tomorrow will be our own food." ”

After the team leader finished speaking, he happily walked in front, but he didn't notice at all that Ma Laifu, who was originally following him, gradually slowed down and stopped next to the leader of the twenty-fifth group.

"What? What's wrong? The leader of Group 25 looked at him defensively.

"I'll tell you something." Ma Laifu lowered his voice, "Come out and speak." ”

The group leader turned his head to care for the people in the same group, "Take care of our food, I'll go out for a while." ”

After following Malaifu out for a long time, the man's patience disappeared, "What can't you say here?" ”

Ma Laifu looked behind him, thinking about the distance, and he couldn't hear it from there, "Do you know that someone in your group has stolen something?" ”

The leader of the twenty-fifth group smiled: "You said Ma Lishan? He had not been clean in the mountains before. ”

"So you know he stole it?"

The team leader frowned, "What, he stole your food?" ”

"Our group has always taken turns keeping vigil, and the house is closest to the government, so he doesn't dare to steal our things." Ma Laifu no longer sells Guanzi, "I still found out about this matter with the people in the government office, and recently Ma Lishan stole things again, and the county lord knew about it." ”

"The county lord knows why he didn't hold him?" The team leader asked rhetorically.

Ma Laifu had thought about this question for a long time, so he asked back with a serious question, "Why do you say?" ”

The team leader looked at his eyes and felt inexplicable and a little hairstand at the same time.

"The county lord wants to get rid of him." Ma Laifu said, "Before the city wall was built, we followed the county master, and we all knew his temper, and he was definitely not a soft-hearted person." ”

The team leader felt the cold wind blowing into his neck, "In that case, why doesn't the county lord do it?" ”

"It's stupid." Ma Laifu said, "The county lord is not only dissatisfied with him alone, think about it, you are Ma Lishan's team leader, it stands to reason that you have to manage him, what is the result?" You didn't pay attention at all, and I still don't know whose stuff he stole from, alas, I think you're dangerous too. ”
