Chapter 330 Selling the fields to save more grain

Chapter 330: Sell the field and store more grain

When Mi Fan and Jiu Mei Leng were doing things separately, Han Xuanfeng also ate his breakfast and began to think about how to fool people.

After a while, the screams of poultry sounded outside. Han Zhuofeng knew that it was someone coming, so he sat down and waited for someone to enter the house.

"Brother Han, I'm here. Your geese are not big, but they are so fierce." As soon as the door opened, a Tubo man walked into the outside, carrying a stick in his hand, probably for walking all the way to drive away poultry.

"If you break my goose, you have to pay for it." Han Xuanfeng was very familiar with the people coming in. He had met both here and in Sanshui County. He was the one who sold carrots when he first came here.

After arriving here, he met him in the casino by chance. He just watched him and did not participate. He hired people to watch the venue for a while and felt that this person didn't look like a person who came to place the bet, so he reported it. When he met both sides, he could be considered as meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Since then, when there is nothing to do, Songnnigan always comes to stroll, telling how his chicks are raised, and asking what changes have occurred in Sanshui County.

Since I got sick, I have come even more frequently and I have asked someone to do it, but there is no effect at all.

"If you want to pay, I have to ask you to pay me a lot of poultry. It turns out that I am the only one here who raises a lot of poultry. Now that others have raised it, I will not be able to sell it. But if I cheated me, I have to go to Sanshui County to ask someone." Songrinigan complained, then took a closer look at Han Zombie's complexion, and said happily:

"Your illness seems to be cured soon? You have a great life. The slaves they captured from the Tang Dynasty and the people from the Tang Dynasty who came through business have never seen many people survived if they are sick."

"That's natural. Don't look at who I am. When the disease is cured, it will soar into the sky." Han Xuanfeng also knew that his illness was not so serious, so he signaled Songrigan to brag when he sat down.

"I heard that it has nothing to do with you. For you, the Zhang family mobilized a lot of good things and sent a doctor to come over and hid somewhere else. Others don't know about it, but they can't deceive me."

Songrinigan said enviously that he was happy for Han Xuanfeng from the bottom of his heart and found a good family to rely on. Although he had many slaves here, he really encountered problems, but not many people were willing to help him, let alone spending a lot of money after he became ill.

Han Xuanfeng smiled, without refuting, and asked: "How is the poultry you raise there? Why should you sell it quickly, otherwise, it will be troublesome, what about the field you planted?"

Han Zhuangfeng knew that Songri Nigan was a Tubo person, but he did not think about Tubo. He could only be regarded as a small slave owner here. He was often excluded by others before, which is better now, so he could talk to him more about things.

When Songrigan heard Han Xuanfeng ask about his family, he looked worried. What he said just now was right. Since many people started buying chickens and ducks to raise them, the people around him had already become better with him began to have their own ideas again.

There were two large stalls in the city. Although it was just selling eggs and eggs, it would have a big impact on my business. Those who wanted to sell chicken and eggs and opened special stores to collect their attitudes were not as enthusiastic as before, and their income was reduced a lot at once.

But what is the solution? I can't help but let others raise it. I just hope that the people sent from Sanshui County can think of new ways to make money for themselves.

"I have already made the eggs with the method you taught me. I will take them out and sell them after a while. The peeled eggs and tofu are still delicious, and you don't have to worry about breaking. You can eat them when you go out. You can find a way to send me more salt and I will pickle some salted eggs."

Songri Nigan got two methods in total, that is, to make pineapple eggs and pickled salted eggs. At the same time, he also knew what Han Zombie and the other three wanted to do when they came, but he just didn't tell others that the good or bad life had nothing to do with him.

And even if he finds someone and tells them that the revenge of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan has come, they may not believe him. Now, it is forbidden to talk about these two people in the city. Even if the other party believes it, the final contribution will not fall on him. Who makes his slaves fewer and smaller?

Han Xuanfeng thought for a while and replied to Songrinigan: "The salt cannot be delivered too much now. Jiannandao is too strict in control. When autumn comes, it will probably be almost done. If you have too many eggs, give it to your slaves. Only after you have enough food can you have the strength to work."

"As I eat, other people's slaves only have one meal a day, and they don't care what they eat, just fill their stomachs. My slaves have two meals a day. If I have to work at night, I will add another midnight snack. There are more children, and fried eggs per person a day is much better than other people's slaves.

But I raised a lot of them, and I couldn't finish them. After a while, I should have killed the chickens for them to eat. They were old and didn't lay eggs, so I had to eat them. I also made a lot of air-dried chickens, but I couldn't sell them. Otherwise, you can help you collect some of them, and the price would be cheaper."

Songrigan sat down and felt dry, so she didn't have to bother Han Xuanfeng. She found tea in the room and went to the kitchen behind to carry a pot of water. She rinsed it with a big bowl for a while, complaining while busy.

He was right. The slaves in the family definitely ate better than other people's slaves, and even better than most civilians. At that time, there were more than 300 slaves working for them, but now there are nearly a thousand people. Some of them are willing to be the ones in recent years, and some are the children born by slaves.

So now there are many children who just wait until they grow up to work. They have to raise them well when they are young and cultivate loyalty.

Songri Nigan could do this because he learned from the two villages of Zhangwang, Sanshui County. There are so many village households, but they are actually no different from slaves, but their enthusiasm for working is not comparable to ordinary slaves.

Later, after observation, I found that it seems that it is more expensive to be good for slaves, but it is very worry-free. The slave's body is strong and not easy to get sick. He also has strength when working, and his loyalty has improved. One slave can beat two others, and two slaves can beat five others.

After calculating what input-output ratio is, it is still cost-effective to raise slaves. Especially when you are not fully farming and other breeding industries, slaves have a very important role.

It was because of this that Songnnigan began to be kind to the slaves and prevent them from being hungry. At least they could eat barley. They would eat meat for a few days. Children under twelve years old had eggs.

When the slaves are full, they can work better. In addition to raising poultry, they also raise a lot of cattle and sheep, all of which are fed by slaves. There is no need to worry about the slaves' sudden defection. As long as the slave wants to escape alone, it is easy to get into trouble. But if he asks others to discuss escaping together, others will report the matter.

With more money, Songzinnigan also bought a lot of weapons to arm his slaves to fight against those who were jealous of him.

Now, Songzhnigan has seen more and more teams of his own, and finally recognized the practice of being better for slaves.

After drinking a bowl of tea, seeing that Han Zombie still didn't agree, Songrinigan said again: "Can't you sell air-dried chickens there?"

"Yes, but it's useless. I'll tell you that the tax on entry is about to increase. With the shipping fee, you won't make money. If you want to transport the chickens over, wouldn't it hurt you? That way, you can take advantage of the poultry as soon as possible, just leave only the food and use of your own, and exchange for other people's livestock.

The Zhang family is preparing to purchase a large number of dairy products, milk slices, cheese and ghee. It requires a lot of them. As long as you have them, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell them. The price is not low, and you don’t have to pay taxes. Follow the name of the chamber of commerce there. This is called smuggling. You can hurry up to avoid regretting it at that time."

Songrinigan heard Han Tornado and added water to himself again, and asked worriedly: "Are you going to do it? Zhang Xiaobao first came to an economic war, and then Wang Juan led his troops to kill him? Then what should I do? I have always been good with you."

It’s not that Songrinigan is afraid. Even if he doesn’t let Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan be mentioned in public, he can’t stop it because the people above Tubo did not let others say it, which even raised the two people. The gods who had already passed on the word were called to him, just as if the two people had done something, the whole Tubo was finished.

"What do you think about? What are you going to beat me? The young master and the young lady went back to the local area to become officials. Two ninth-rank officials have no military power." Han Xuanfeng felt that Songrinigan was a little suspicious.

Songrinigan waved his hand and said, "Don't lie to me. It's not easy to have no military power. I'll give it to you as soon as you say it. Give me a clear idea. What do you want to do? If it really doesn't work, I'll move away and move to Yizhou."

"I really don't fight. You can take advantage of the extra money to see if you can receive the food, save it, and keep it for use. In autumn, it's time to lack food. Don't starve so many of your slaves to the point. Are there any land in your home separated by wooden boards and broken linens in three rows?"

Han Zombie once again promised to not fight, and also revealed a little information.

Songnnigan shook her head, "No, please, my poultry doesn't need to be as good as your emperor's food. Now other people's chickens are still small, so I can sell them. When their chickens and ducks grow up, they will think of other ways. If you say you don't let them raise them, I will listen to you and buy them in large quantities, then raise more cattle and sheep, and collect more food.

This year, I think the grain is growing well and it is growing well. I guess it will be a bumper harvest in autumn. If I buy too much grain, I won’t compensate you if I pay it. If I lose money, I will go to Sanshui County to ask your master’s house and say you are lying to me.”

"A great harvest? Dream about it. This year's Tubo will have to change grain from the Tang Dynasty. Oh, I suddenly remembered something, you have land, right?" Han Xuanfeng said as he looked at Songrinigan and asked.

"Nonsense, how could I have no land? I also planted a lot of barley and another 200 acres of rice. How can I make money in the land?"

Songnnigan was also a small landlord, with a thousand slaves under his command, so how could he live without land?

"Then sell it soon, stop growing it, sell it now, and you can still sell it for a good price. Haven't you planted things? Sell it, don't delay, and then all of them will be replaced by local specialties here, as well as cattle and sheep, and the family will sell it. Take your slaves to the east of Jinchuan and the west of the Tang Dynasty to feed the animals."

Han Xuanfeng gave his advice, and then he realized that locusts have wings and can jump, and they don’t move in one place. If they don’t do it well, they have to prepare to destroy locusts. Songri Nigan farms here and they have to pay for them.

There was a locust plague in the Tang Dynasty for the first few years, and it took a lot of effort to allow it to be destroyed. Now Tubo is probably in a difficult situation. Local people have seen so many locusts one by one, so they must not kowtow and burn incense. When they find that it really doesn't work, it will be too late to send a army of poultry to eat.

Songrinigan didn't know the specific situation, and saw Han Zhefeng asking him to sell the land, so he looked Han Zhefeng carefully again, "You can't have a grudge against me, right? The land is gone, what do you want me to do?"

"If the land is gone, you can buy it again, but if it is not enough this year, or if it is less than half, it is not enough to charge 20% less, then that's all. If it's not good to catch up with the sky, this year will probably be even harder than last year. I'm right, I can still lie to you."

Han Tornado knew that he couldn't say too much to Songninigan.

"How did you know that you will be able to win this year?" Songnni had to figure it out.

"I'll tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a hunter named Hailibu. He went hunting one day and saved one... so he could understand what the beast said... and in the end he turned into a stone man."

Han Zombie couldn't say that Zhang Xiaobao used a terrible trick here, so he could only choose to let Songrigan believe in him.

After hearing this, Songnnigan sighed twice, "So you are the Hylibu? I really have to sell it? Otherwise, I will suffer a lot of losses?"

"Selling, you have helped Zhang Jiayun a lot of good things here, all kinds of seasonings, and things that the Tang Dynasty did not have, have benefited the Zhang family. Even if you move a place without making money, the Zhang family will not let you lose money. This is all the words. Don't say that I didn't tell you when you don't hear it."

Han Tornado said seriously to Songzinigan.

Songrigan's expression became serious and nodded, "Yes, this time I believe in you, I won't let you turn into stones, sell them, and buy other animals when I go back, and raise them all the way. Go to the east of Jinchuan, where I don't worry about others coming to cause trouble for me.

It's cloudy and it seems to be raining. I thought it would be falling tonight. Brother Han, you should be feeling bad again. Should you eat something?"

"It's okay, it's much better today. I'll drink some sugar water mixed with alkali and vinegar in a while. Just drink it. If you have something to do, go quickly and don't worry about me."

Han Zombie also found that the weather had changed. It should have been a bit colder and it should have been getting hotter and hotter.

Songrinigan knew that even if he didn't stay, someone would come to take care of Han Zombie. He was thinking about selling land and helped Han Zombie pick up all the bowls he had eaten just now to the kitchen, and then left the house.

The chicks outside ran around the open space, specially bought slaves to feed them, and while calling them, they were luring them to the shed to avoid getting sick.

At this time, Mi Fan had already collected half a month's money and was protected and transported back. There were all kinds of things on the car, including copper coins from the Tang Dynasty, coins that were popular here, silver and gold, and even jade. When gambling people were jealous of money, they would mortgage whatever they had.

Any valuable things mortgaged, or those that are monumental, need to be recorded by someone else's name and where they live. When encountering someone who is capable at home, the mortgaged things must be sent back to others at that time. For example, the jade pendant that has been passed on to children but not daughters, and has been passed on for hundreds of years, and it is also very hot to stay.

Jiu Meilen has not started lottery yet. She waited for others to arrive in the restaurant she bought. It was almost noon. The restaurant has prepared the food and drinks. At this time, whether you win or not, you usually need to order a liquor to comfort yourself.

The lottery items were put away. People who came in advance drank butter tea or milk tea while eating snacks while waiting for others to get faster. They all hoped that they would win once. In fact, it would be fine if they didn't come. There were too many people buying lottery tickets, so it was impossible for restaurants to install them.

They came here just to testify. At that time, the winning numbers will be posted in the lottery and let others know.

While the Tubo Han Tornado and the other three were busy planning, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already returned to Luoyang. They saw their family members. Xiaobei and a group of little guys were following them. They left their brothers and sisters and thought about them, and they also thought about them when they left their family.

In Baoxin County, He Yiwei's affairs became more common, and suddenly there were two people missing. Yiwu was still so long, and a lot of work was put on him. Fortunately, during this period, the people in the county did not have so many lawsuits to sue, otherwise he would have to settle the case.

Today, he once again posted the fiscal revenue and expenditure in the county to the door of the yamen, and introduced the current situation with the people.

After finishing talking about money and the people were about to disperse, he said again: "Don't leave first, there is another thing. Now there is a Gyeonggi Province where the Tang Dynasty scenery buildings are placed, and there will be another place to come soon.

I think the road in the county is not good enough. In some places, even if the people next to me help repair it, it is very inconvenient to walk the car. I plan to take out a thousand guan and widen the narrow area. I wonder what you think?"

In the past, he used it if he wanted to use it, without having to discuss it with others. Now it is not possible. He must let the people know the benefits and disadvantages of spending money, even a small number of people. As long as most of the people who know agree, it can be implemented. If most of them disagree, they have to do ideological work, which is very tiring.

Not only He Yiwei is tired, but also other officials in the county have to follow suit.

When he heard He Yiwei say he wanted to take out a thousand guan, the people first looked at each other and hesitated whether they agreed. The money was not much, only one thousand guan.

"Mr. He County, old man, I want to ask, do you know about this matter by Zhang Zhubu and Wang County Magistrate?" An old man in the crowd stood up and asked He Yiwei who was waiting for the people to answer.

"I don't know, it's what I think." He Yiwei really wants to do something by himself. He can't always listen to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He is such a big person, can't he be a county magistrate?

Unlike before, I wanted to be greedy and take possession, and I was also devoted to Baoxin County. As a result, if I mentioned something to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan first and agreed to the two of them, the people would agree. If the two of them said they would consider it again, the people would not agree after they knew it.

Looking at the old man who was asking questions, He Yiwei couldn't lie yet, and told the old man helplessly the actual situation.

He was thinking in his heart that after all, his proposal would be denied. He was the county magistrate, sometimes happy and sometimes depressed. He didn't know what Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan thought, so he asked the people to decide what they knew. What did the people know? If they didn't understand, they had to explain it clearly.

"It turns out that County Magistrate He thought about it. I don't understand other things. Old man, I agree with the matter of building roads. In the future, it will become more and more prosperous. There will be more people coming and going, and there will be more water coming. At that time, there will be more merchants and more wealthy people. If the road is narrow, it will delay things."

Just when He Yiwei thought his thoughts could not be passed, the old man who asked agreed.

The young man standing next to the old man also said, "I think it should be built, but it is not enough to use a thousand guan. Everyone finds some stones and transports them over. Just find the place where the road is to be built and paves it. There is no need to pay the wages. After the spring plowing, there are many idle people."

Two people agreed, and other people with some knowledge also agreed to take out a thousand guan first, and everyone should try to think about ways to save money, and don’t spend all the money at that time. After saving, they can do other things for the county.

He Yiwei, who was very sad in his heart, suddenly lit up when he heard the words of support from everyone, and nodded vigorously, "Then according to everyone's words, I will take out a thousand guan first, and calculate how much I use at that time. Even if I don't pay my wages, I will still have to make food. I will make arrangements now."

After saying that, He Yiwei, who was happy, hurried back to the yamen to check the map and prepared to list all the places that need to be repaired.

Old Man Bi and the other three did not go to Luoyang with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. They had to come back in a few days without having to go back and forth. At this time, seeing that He Yiwei's proposal was supported by the people, he also showed a knowing smile.

"I am really worried that He Yiwei will fail this time. In that case, he will lose confidence in doing things in the future. Unexpectedly, he will get support."

Old man Zhang was also very happy and said from the side.

Old Man Bi stared at the dispersed crowd, including the old man and a young man who had just spoken, and the two of them walked together and said something in a low voice.

At this time, Old Man Yao spoke.

"Xiaobao and Juanjuan arranged it, and they were afraid that He Yiwei would not have confidence in him. Those two people were from Xiang'er's village, and the old man was Xiang'er's grandfather. Xiaobao and Juanjuan returned to Luoyang. One of the purposes was to give He Yiwei a chance."
