"How much do you plan to sell, chief?" Lian Wanquan suddenly looked at his elder brother curiously and asked.

"Let me make a round number, five hundred catties!" The company commander said briskly, "It's only three sacks loose!" He glanced at them and said, "The money they give is not tax, it must be paid, and it has not yet been paid." money."

"Then we might as well sell it to a private grain store in the city! Its price is five copper coins higher than the government's price."

"Five copper coins?" Lian Wanyou said while raising his hand.

"For five coppers, you will sell yourself." Lian Lichang looked at them with a dark face and said, "Grandma's famine year, how did he get it from us? The price of grain is so high that we can buy it even if we sell it. I can’t afford a grain of wheat. Even if I bought it, it was mixed with wheat bran. Do you want to sell grain to this black-hearted guy?”

"Don't sell, don't sell, resolutely don't sell." The big guys said with the same hatred.

In fact, this unscrupulous businessman's heart was too dark, and it brought back their painful memories.

"I sold it to Mr. Lu. He is a good official and a good person."

"That's right! If you have food, don't sell it to unscrupulous merchants."

The unscrupulous businessman aroused everyone's anger, and an agreement was reached at once. The company commander looked at them happily and said, "Then let's go home and arrange it. We will push the wheelbarrow and send it to the government office."

"Who do you think is here?" Master Lu raised his head from the file and looked at the officer who reported.

"Humble job means that Gao Mancang is driving a mule cart to sell grain." The guard cupped his hands and replied, "Humble job looks like a thousand catties."

"So many?" Lord Lu looked at him in surprise and said.

"The Ye family has a lot of land." The guard looked up at him slightly and said.

"I know this, but I just didn't expect it." Master Lu slightly raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "The person who asked the grain depot to treat him well, don't make things difficult." Pointing his index finger, he said, "What is the wheat that hasn't been dried?" The wheat grains are shriveled. I don’t know if it’s good or not, but I went to the field to see it myself.”

"Yes!" The guard took the order and bowed his hands and left the second hall.

Mr. Lu really didn't expect that no one came to sell food after the notice was posted for more than [-] days.

He is so anxious!But what can I do?
The gongs and drums have been used, and all the towns and villages have been notified, but they just don't sell them.

It's useless even if he tore his throat, but it can't be forced!

The front foot just said that there is no tax, but the back foot grabs food. What is the difference from the previous dynasty.

He also understood that he was afraid of poverty, so he managed to save up some food and hold it in his hand without panic.

But the imperial court was fighting ahead, and because of the heavy rain in the south, the grain and grass transferred from the south were delayed on the road.

He was so anxious that the corners of his mouth were blistered.

He wanted to ask them himself.

This Ye Sanniang, this is the bridge repaired, so she came here with a car.

Turn around and ask my wife to thank her well.

About an hour later, the company commander and the others arrived at the government office either jumping on a pole or pushing a wheelbarrow.

The guard crawled into the second hall, "Lord Lu, at the gate of the yamen... the gate..."

"Calm down, what's the matter?" Master Lu said while looking at him with his hands down.

"It looks like cotton seeds outside. The company commander and the others have brought food." The guard looked at him with bright eyes and said excitedly.

"Ah!" Master Lu stood up and looked at him and said, "Go and have a look." He walked around the table and strode out.

&*&
The company commander and the others squatted at the gate of the yamen, wiping sweat with cloth towels hanging around their necks.

When the company commander saw Lord Lu who came out, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands and saluted, "Master Lu."

"Why are you here?" Mr. Lu looked at them happily and said.

"It's not that the yamen posted a notice. We have a bumper harvest this year, so we're here." The company commander looked at him with a smile and said, "Not much, at least five hundred catties per household."

"Enough, enough, already a lot." Lord Lu bowed his hands to them, "Thank you folks."

"Thanks for that, whoever sells this grain!" said the company commander looking at him honestly.

Lord Lu looked at them with a moved expression, moved his lips, but still didn't say what was on his lips, it involved military affairs, so you can't talk nonsense.

"Will you see when I will enter the warehouse!" The company commander looked at him with a smile and said.

"Let's go! I'll take you there personally," Lu Da said enthusiastically.

It's just that the enthusiasm was so hot that it frightened the company commander and the others.

Go to the granary to hand in the grain, where is it necessary, the magistrate himself will go out.

Master Lu doesn't care what they think?Called them who were dumbfounded and said, "Let's go!"

"Oh oh oh!" The head of the company hurriedly pushed onto the wheelbarrow, and said loudly, "The old and young men of Hedong Village are leaving!"

"How about the newly repaired bridge?" Master Lu asked with concern.

"It's all right!" Lian Lichang looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "I'm pushing a wheelbarrow and jumping on a pole. It's okay for so many people to cross the bridge. It's all right!"

The corners of Master Lu's mouth twitched when he heard this, "That's fine!"

&*&
Driven by Hedong Village, Hexi Village immediately followed suit, and other villages and towns responded positively.

Master Lu raised more food than he had imagined. Looking at the numbers on the desk, he couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

"What are you looking at? Your mouth is grinning to your ears." Mrs. Lu said while standing in front of the desk and looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Look at the food collected." Mr. Lu pointed at the files on the desk and smiled like a child.

"Wow... so many." Mrs. Lu looked at him in surprise and said.

"Yes! That's why I'm happy." Master Lu let out a long breath, and said with a moved expression, "I really didn't expect it. I thought it was over this time. The peasants valued food more than their own lives." He took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect that!" He said with a smile, "They are very cute, if you treat them well, they will return ten or a hundred times more."

"Yes!" Mrs. Lu looked at him tenderly and said, "They know it's a good thing. The price of grain shops in the city is higher than ours, and they don't sell it."

Mentioning this Master Lu's eyes instantly turned cold, "I'll deal with him later, he's a rich and heartless guy."

&*&
"Yeah! Flour made from new wheat is delicious." Ye Yan swallowed the steamed buns in her mouth and said, "Eating dry steamed buns has a hint of sweetness."

"Don't eat it! There are dishes here." Zheyuan ordered the delicacies on the long table.

"Okay." Ye Yanxing picked up the roasted eggplant and put it in his mouth.

"Remember to send the wheat bran to the pig farm! Pigs love this most." Ye Sanniang said obsessively.

"I know, I know, I saved up a shoulder pole, and I will send it to the pig farm tomorrow." Gao Mancang looked at her with dark eyes and said seriously.
