Chapter 0887 The trivial matter of selling grain(2/3)

It is impossible to satisfy all families with second-season silkworm seeds, so the government usually distributes them in schools and notifies nearby villages to come and get them.

Moreover, priority is given to families with students at home, which is considered a kind of subsidy.

At the same time, this is also a means for Xinghan Association to promote education and cultivate junior technicians.

The illiterate people at the bottom are purely consumables to capital and can be replaced at any time.

They simply cannot provide the efficiency that society needs for further development.

The great development of Yuexun County in recent years is inseparable from its unique administrative structure.

Because the Xinghan Association can take advantage of the power of the government to reach the grassroots and vigorously promote what it wants to develop.

This is transcendent efficiency, which represents a certain image.

The great Han Dynasty Prime Minister divided Yuexun County into a torment for Feng Junhou, and in the end it did not disappoint.

But Zhang Tingzhang was a little disappointed at this time, because he heard the steward say:

"I've also heard that, if I take it seriously, how can I guarantee it?"

"You don't believe the news is true, but you tell me to listen to it, so that I can be happy for nothing. What's the point?"

Zhang Tingzhang said dissatisfied.

When the steward heard this, he sneered and didn't mention the topic again.

Just because it’s gossip, the truth of the matter often comes out in the end, you know what?

Not even the government, not even the Xinghan Society, would admit this kind of thing!

The only thing that makes people speechless and confused is that they have nothing to say and nothing to say.

Those who are still unwilling to sell after three days are basically hesitant or want to wait for food prices to rise again.

No matter how much the government wants to benefit the people under its rule and achieve political achievements for itself, the Xinghan Society is so full that it will approve silkworm seeds for these people?

The steward waved his hand impatiently, trying to drive Zhang Tingchang out like a fly, "Go, go, go! I don't have time to grind my teeth with you!"

"Are you in a hurry? I'll have a word with my nephew again."

Zhang Tingchang held on to the door frame, unwilling to move. He looked at Si'er and said earnestly, "Si'er, Manager Liu often goes to Qiongdu!"

"You can be considered to have established a relationship with him this time. When you go to Qiongdu in the future, if you need to contact your family for anything, just look for him."

Si'er looked at the steward and then at Zhang Ting Zhang, feeling a little at a loss.

"The old man is not done yet, roll, roll, roll!"

The management directly pushed and pushed the person out.

Zhang Tingzhang didn't care and walked away happily.

After coming out, I returned to the place where I unloaded the grain in my pavilion. I saw the people in the pavilion squatting around the grain pile to bask in the sun. I immediately moved a stone and squeezed in together to brag.

We live in the countryside in Guizhou and don't have much knowledge. When we get together, we basically talk about trivial things.

Which family planted several acres of mulberry forest this year, and which family opened two acres of land at the foot of the mountain.

Even if someone carries a piece of meat home, it is considered news.

It's rare for everyone to have leisure time on weekdays, and the sun is just right, so it's really hot.

At this time, a middle-aged man and a young man came together.

The middle-aged man's eyes were sharp. He glanced at the group of people and saw the leader among them at a glance.

I saw him arching his hands towards Zhang Tingchang:

"May I ask if you are the leader of all people?"

"Don't dare. My surname is Zhang. I am the director of Wu Pavilion in District B of Shili Township. I have met two noble people."

Zhang Tingzhang did not dare to be negligent and quickly returned the gift.

The two people in front of them have the aura of being in charge, and the entourage behind them all carry swords, and the standard seems to be used in the military.

Just by listening to the name of the place reported by Zhang Tingzhang, we know that it was newly built after Feng Yongping settled Yuexi.

When the middle-aged man heard Zhang Tingchang's words, he immediately smiled on his face and waved his hand:

"You are not a noble person, but I was just passing by and saw that grain was being harvested here, so I came over to take a look."

He looked at the food behind everyone, with a curious expression on his face, "Where did all this food come from?"

Although he tried his best to be friendly to the people, he could not hide the overwhelming aura of wealth and nobility in his body.

Zhang Tingzhang did not dare to neglect, he showed a simple smile on his face, scratched his head, looking like a complete country bumpkin:

"This is how it is. We heard that food prices were high, and we thought we had some surplus food at home, so we scraped together some food to see if we could exchange it for money and buy some clothes for our family."

"Right now, we are in a lean period. Everyone is trying to borrow food from other places, but we all still have some food left at home?"

The middle-aged man asked in surprise.

"Elsewhere? Where else?"

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Tingzhang became vigilant, "In the past few years, I haven't heard of any famines nearby..."

As he spoke, he looked specifically at the entourage behind them.

Yes, he is indeed a member of the army.

Zhang Tingchang, who had retired from the army, was very sure of this.

So what are the backgrounds of these two people?

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, but the young man next to him came to his rescue:

"Don't be surprised, Zhang Tingzhang. This clan uncle of mine just came from Guanzhong and doesn't know the situation here in Yuexi, so that's why I said this."

"Oh, so that's it."

Zhang Tingzhang suddenly understood and slapped his thigh, "How else can we say he is a Wei thief? How can a thief have the ability to feed the common people like a big man?"

"I heard that over there, the government takes 50% of the land you plant. How can you live like this? Once you join the army, your whole family will have to be soldiers for generations to come."

"The man in the family died fighting for the court at the front, but the wife and daughter in the back were assigned to other people by the government. Can this be done by humans?"

When Zhang Tingzhang was under the command of Feng Junhou, he had heard a lot about the affairs of the Wei thieves.

Some people came over from the Wei rebel army and told everyone about their own affairs.

Zhang Tingzhang may have forgotten a lot of the words he has learned over the years, but things like this can really be remembered for a lifetime.

"So the big man must kill the thieves so that everyone can live a good life..."

Everyone has lived a good life these years, and the more they dare not imagine the life of those people under the rule of Wei Thief.

How many things has Cangtou Qianshou seen?

In their eyes, Zhang Tingchang, who traveled all over the country with Feng Junhou, was a very knowledgeable person.

People in the village would chew on it for a long time when they saw others carrying meat home without restraint.

So even though I have heard Zhang Tingzhang talk about these things a long time ago, it still sounds interesting to me now.

There is no way, the sense of superiority always comes out of comparison.

What's more, I have only been out of hard times for a few years.

But the more everyone agreed with Zhang Tingchang's words, the weirder the middle-aged man's expression became, even a little embarrassed.

The young man glanced at him and seemed to be suppressing a smile.

He seemed to be more down-to-earth than the middle-aged man. He squatted down and talked to everyone without caring:

"This fellow, if you sell the food at home at this time, the family will not be short of food, right?"

"No...there is no shortage. I have plenty left at home."

The elder Si'er subconsciously wanted to stand up, but when he saw that the other person was also squatting, he had no choice but to follow the other person and continue to squat on the same spot, waving his rough hands.

"Everyone says that the government has done well in recent years, but do you think anything went wrong?"

The young man asked with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly looked panicked and quietly did not dare to speak.

"Don't be nervous. In fact, we are sent by the county government. This matter today is a big deal for the county."

As the young man spoke, he pointed at the grain:

"So the officials actually know what everyone is thinking, so when we are sent out this time, we also want to ask everyone if they have any requirements?"

Hearing that the young man admitted his identity, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This is right, otherwise being secretive would make people uncomfortable.

The government sends people to the countryside to inspect farming at least twice a year.

At least everyone had seen him from a distance, and even the elderly farmer would be called to him for questioning. Everyone saw that the man was young and would not be too big for an official position.

So I wasn’t too nervous.
