Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 389 I’m willing to suffer a loss

  The wheat in the field was still green, Lao Zhou reached out his hand and touched the thin husk on the wheat ears. The fine and dense spring rain gently wetted his hands.

  He lowered his head and glanced at the wheat roots in the wheat field that was quickly absorbing the spring rain, and couldn't help but said openly: "This rain is coming well."

  Zhou Dalang wiped the rain that swept his face, and nodded again and again, "Yes, it just happened to be able to fill the wheat."

  Lao Zhoutou spent a day walking all the fields where winter wheat was grown. There were many people in the village who came out in the rain to see the wheat fields like him.

  Stars in the vast fields are dotted with people walking around in clothes.

  Many people in Luojiang County were caught in the rain on this day. Among them, those who walked in the fields and got wet in the rain were the happiest.

The magistrate Yang, who was also exposed to the rain, was not very happy. He quickly walked into the hall, pulled off his clothes and threw it to his entourage. He took the towel handed over and wiped it, and then lost his strength a bit. In the hands of the next person.

The master who greeted us paused for a while, and quickly asked: "Master, is there something to do with the former government?"

   "It's okay!" That's why I feel more angry, right?

  Yang Heshu sat down on the chair, his brows frowned, "Is the interest for one tael of silver and twelve pens high?"

Master    said: "Not high."

"It's not high, why didn't no one come to credit cattle?" Yang He said: "It's been five days. There are only six households in Luojiang County who have come to borrow cattle on credit. Seeing that a new round of spring plowing is about to begin again, no one is there. Heartbeat?"

The master smiled and said: "Why an adult should be anxious, let alone three or four, even three or four writing is also a major issue. If you really want to put the cow on credit, you might as well relax some requirements. I believe it will be less than three days. Cows can be taken away on credit."

   "If you relax further, you will lend the cow to the squire on credit."

Master    smiled and said, “What’s wrong with this? Anyway, cows are also used for farming.”

  Yang Heshu gave Master a faint look.

  Master became stiff, and said with a stiff smile: "My lord?"

  Yang He Shu flicked his robe and asked: "Does the officer look like a fool?"

   Saying, get up and leave.

  Master froze, trying to catch up, but he couldn't pull it down, his face flushed for a while.

  Yang Heshu’s entourage, Wan Tian, ​​hurried to catch up, "Master, how do you say that you get angry?"

  Yang Heshu snorted.

  Man Tian said: "In fact, the young man felt that what the master said was right. So many cows have to eat a lot of forage every day, and they have not been able to pay for it. The young master is also upset when he looks at it?"

  "What do you know?" Yang Heshu said annoyedly: "I sent so many cows. Do you think it was a reselling business? Do you know that every time a cow goes out on credit, the county government and I will lose some money."

"I don't care about them, like Zhou's family, first credit silver and then buy cows. They earn me a fortune. That's because they are poor. I am willing to eat such a harmless loss," Yang Heshu said: "I can take advantage of this loss. What's the matter with the squire who is not short of money?"

  Man Tianyi’s forehead question, obviously whether he understood it or not.

  Yang and the book hated iron and patted him on the head, and said: "Why are you so stupid, not as good as a child, you have read books with me for so many years."

  Yang Heshu went back to the house and changed to fresh clothes before asking: "You know that kid, the one named Man Bao, she borrowed silver and changed it to copper plates to buy cows. How much did I lose?"

   Wan Tian said with a confused expression: "Didn’t the young master say that the county government borrowed silver, but did it also come back? Although there is a price difference between the copper plate and the silver, in fact, we did not lose money."

  "If you say you are stupid, you still don’t believe it. The county government did not lose money on credit, but we lost money when we sold the cows. When we bought this batch of cattle, the county government and I gave out silver, not copper!"

  Yang He Shudao: "This batch of cattle to be borrowed on credit is all cost-priced, and the price is set for silver. I didn't know the difference between silver and copper money before..."

  Yang and Shu paused and said, "So, every cow is now placed in the bullpen at a loss."

  What makes him angry is that no one takes advantage of such a loss-making business, which is really annoying to him!

Wan Tian finally cleared up the relationship during this period and couldn't help but become anxious, "Then master, why did you deliberately let the people who were taught to credit cattle at the gate of the county government to first credit silver, and then change to copper plates to buy cattle? , Isn't that a pitfall?"

"It doesn't count," Yang Heshu drank a sip of tea, and said, "Although I also paid a little, but the bulk of it was from the county government, and the county government was the one who pitted it, but at least the people were left behind. Isn't it affordable?"

  Manda:......Please forgive him for being stupid, he really doesn't know the difference during this period. Isn't his master now the magistrate of Luojiang County?

  Have a pit, isn’t the county government pitted himself?

"These people are poor. One cow is considered to be two more laborers. Life is better. But those squires, they are not short of money. If the conditions are relaxed, these cows will definitely be accepted without blinking. ," Yang He said: "Why should I take advantage of it?"

  Manda couldn’t help muttering, "Anyway, it’s all a loss..."

"What do you know?" Yang Heshu knocked on his head, and said, "Some suffered a loss, some suffered a loss. Luojiang County suffered a serious disaster last year, and the tax was only exempted for one year, but this year's autumn harvest will have to pay taxes... Forget it, forget it, you don't understand it."

   "Then master, if no one comes to credit the cows, what about the cows in the cowshed?"

   "What else can I do, I can only divide it down."

   "Huh?" Manda opened his mouth wide.

Yang Heshu waved his hand and said: "Okay, on the way back just now, I heard the old official in the yamen say that spring plowing is about to start again when the spring rain comes down. Go, call Master Zhang and them and let him inform Ge Lizheng, let's discuss the matter of dividing the cattle."

  Manda closed his mouth and hesitated to ask, "Is it true?"

   "Regardless of the division, keep these cows for you," Yang He said, "divide it to each other, so as to relieve the pressure of spring plowing."

  As a county magistrate, its main duty is to persuade the farming mulberry.

  How to persuade farming and mulberry?

  In addition to going to the mountains and the countryside to do ideological construction and encouragement for the peasant friends, sometimes it also provides certain materials and technical support.

  Materials, including but not limited to seeds, farm tools and cattle, etc.

  Seeds are generally large-scale support. Basically, each family can be allocated some. Of course, such activities vary depending on the situation in each county. At least in Manbao’s memory, her family has not been allocated the seeds sent by the yamen.

  As for farming tools, it will give support to those who are particularly poor, and the farming tools are seriously damaged, and they simply don’t have them.

  And such a valuable thing as cattle, is generally the common property of the people of one mile, that is, take turns to use and take turns to take care of.
