After the autumn harvest came to an end, Shen Yun sent Zhao Xuan to the provincial capital again. First, he was asked to explore the specific process of founding the sect, and second, this summer, Shen Yun's Zhuangzi all had a bumper harvest. Da Zhuangzi alone is expected to be able to sell 100,000 stone of new grain. The rest of the Zhuangzi are not as large as the big Zhuangzi, and the new grain that can be sold is less, but they add up to 300,000 stones. The expenses of each Zhuangzi are not small, and the silver is used up like water, all pointing to this batch of new grain can be exchanged for a good price to fill the shortfall. 400,000 stone of new grain is not a small amount, and you need to go to the provincial capital to find a safe market.

Zhao Xuan understood the importance of the two tasks, and poured out with the people of Qingfeng Hall.

Shen Yun himself originally planned to take the time to go to Chaoyun Temple again. I don't want to, things in Zhuangzi are one after another, and he can't leave him at all.

The first thing is that people from ten miles and eight towns rushed to "enter the service" with new grain.

It's really scrambling. Everyone either carried it on their shoulders or pushed it with a small cart, and in the early morning of the second day after the end of the autumn harvest, the official road near Da Zhuangzi was crowded to the ground. That situation is like grabbing the "head incense" on the first day of the new year.

The Question Hall was the first to "fall". Early in the morning, on the open floor outside, the black crows were crowded with people. was so frightened that the steward on duty didn't dare to open the door, so he quietly ran back to the Zhuangzi through the back door to report to the hall master Li Yi.

When the latter heard it, he was also confused: good and decent, which one of the neighbors are singing?

He hurried to the inquiry hall.

As a result, as soon as he showed his face, he was surrounded by the villagers of the three villages.

"Hall Master Li, morning!"

"You're here!"

......

Since the establishment of the Question Hall, as long as the villagers are free, they will come and sit. From such big things as "the immortals of the Xianfu have come to our village to collect taxes again", and down to trivial things such as "my hen didn't lay eggs yesterday", they all have to come to the Shitang to talk about it. It's really fine, and they have to come over and say, "The village is safe and sound." So, they all became familiar faces in front of Li Yi.

Li Yi didn't say anything polite to them, pointed to the burden and cart on the ground, and asked straight to the point: "Fellow villagers, what are you doing?"

The villagers knew that he was a kind person, and they hurriedly replied with a smile: "Everyone give the gods and goddesses." ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the gods, there were not a few drops of rain in the spring and summer this year, not only did we not suffer from disasters, but the harvest was better than in previous years, and we had a bumper harvest. We are grateful to the gods from the bottom of our hearts, and sincerely offer half of the harvest. ”

"Please be sure to tell the Immortal Lord what everyone thinks. ”

Hearing "half of the harvest", Li Yi's brows couldn't help jumping - if it was Xie Yi with one or two liters of rice, the harvest would be harvested. This half of the harvest ...... How dare he call the shots?

While talking, many people squeezed in shoulder to shoulder. In this case, it won't be long before the outside of the Zhuangzi can't even insert a needle. So many people poured in with a huge amount of new food...... Li Yi shuddered and told him the truth: "Fellow villagers, I know what you mean. Please wait here for a moment, and let me report to my lord immediately. ”

Everyone knows that the lord of his family is a fairy. Hearing this, the people around him all reverently said: "There is Lord Lao Li Hall." ”

Li Yi came out of the crowd, with countless hot eyes on his back, lifting the corners of his robe, and walked into Zhuangzi quickly and calmly.

As soon as he entered the Zhuangzi Gate and was out of the sight of the people outside, he immediately performed light skills and ran towards the main courtyard at full speed.

By the time he reached the gate of the main courtyard, he was out of breath.

Wangzi was guarding outside the gate, and when he saw him, he waved his hand and hurriedly greeted: "Hall Master Li, the master is waiting for you in the main room." ”

It seems that the lord has already known about the changes outside. Li Yi didn't stop at his feet, and rushed into the main courtyard like a fly.

"Don't rush, sit down first and drink saliva. Shen Yun really sat upright in the main room. Seeing that he was sweating profusely and panting like a cow, he smiled and pointed to the large white porcelain bowl on the table.

Hearing this, Li Yi's messy heart instantly settled down. He confessed embarrassedly, sat down in his habitual seat, meditated on his breath, and when his breath was even, he took up the big bowl and drank a large sip of warm tea.

At this point, my thoughts were cleared. He gave a brief report on the situation outside.

After listening to this, Shen Yun instructed: "Since they are sincere in giving gifts, if they don't accept them, it will be rude to us." All you have to do is take it all. It's just that who sent how much, whether it was new grain or old rice, one must truthfully register it, and the other is to verify it clearly. ”

Li Yi was in a hurry. He has dealt with a lot of people from ten miles and eight towns, and he is most familiar with the folk customs here. The neighbors unanimously sent such a heavy gift, which is definitely something to ask for, and it is a big thing. He was worried that this gift would not be easy to receive, and after receiving it, he was afraid that all his hands would be burned.

After thinking about it, he reminded euphemistically: "It's just that the food they sent is not a small amount, and the ten inquiry halls can't be stacked." ”

Shen Yun knew what he meant, but it was not yet time to break the point, so he could only reply literally: "It's okay, I'll ask Qi Bo to help you go and make a vacant land." After a pause, he added, "Well, so many people get together, it's good not to make a mess." I asked Lao Luo to bring someone to help you maintain order. ”

"Yes. Li Yi didn't follow him to do things the first day, and when he heard him say this, his heart fell into practice.

After returning to the Question Hall, he assigned all the people in the hall tasks, weighing and keeping accounts...... For two days in a row, everyone in the Inquiry Hall was as busy as a spinning top, and they didn't even have time to drink saliva.

The results were remarkable. In two days, they received a total of 400,000 stone of "Jinfeng".

Qi Bo looked at the mountains of new grain, and for the first time in his life, he was worried because he had too much food in his hand.

"Brother Yun, so much grain is in the open air...... It's not a problem. He wanted to say, "What if it rains, or if the water goes away", but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was too unlucky, so he quickly swallowed it back.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yun smiled disapprenously: "Don't worry, it won't be able to last a few days in total." Qi Bo, you take people to the storehouse and clean up all the belongings of the spring soup kitchen. ”

Qi Bo immediately understood: "You want to give porridge again?"

He knew very well in his heart that the first half of this year was actually a major drought. The villagers weren't exaggerating. This area around Fang Yuan was all because Brother Yun sent them out to water the fields with rain talismans, so they didn't suffer any crimes. Farther away, a red land. It is said that the river has bottomed out, and cracks more than a foot deep can be seen everywhere in the paddy fields. Because the Xianfu set up checkpoints on the official road, blocking it layer by layer, so it didn't escape here.

Shen Yun nodded: "The 'Jinfeng' of the neighbors has been sent to us. You say, will the Xianfu still stop the victims? I'm afraid that there will be a lot more people than in the spring. We should prepare early so that we don't have to be too busy to cope. ”

Qi Bo was very angry: "I said that why are they rushing to send food to us! We have been taking care of them everywhere......

Shen Yun interrupted: "Even if they don't give us a single grain." Xianfu sent people to Zhuangzi several times to collect taxes, but they did not succeed. They suddenly didn't send anyone, but they were afraid that they would have already had the intention of luring the victims here. The neighbors were familiar with the Xianfu style, and they sent us half of the harvest to seek refuge, which actually helped us a lot. ”

Qi Bo fully agrees with this point - how much soup porridge is consumed, he has personally experienced it in the spring. This time, there were definitely only a lot more victims than in the spring. At that time, relying solely on the grain in the Zhuangzi to support, in the first half of this year, everyone will definitely work in vain, not to mention, and will lose their old capital.
