Wang Juan looked at the sticky things on Tian Gouzi and said it was coal. He also took care of the cleaning and wiped it off. He stretched out his hand and wiped it off. He carefully watched it before his eyes and asked, "Big Brother Tian, no one is going there. Dig this coal?"
"No, who would dig this thing, it's of no use." Tian Gouzi looked at the little girl in front of him and asked himself, but he didn't dare not answer. It would not be that simple for someone who can sit in the county magistrate's car.
Wang Juan couldn't figure it out at this time. According to records, it seems that coal has been used since the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it happened to be used to make coke in the Tang Dynasty. Why was it that no one used it? Is there not much output here? Bad coal quality
She wanted to ask Zhang Xiaobao, but where did Zhang Xiaobao pretend to be dizzy? When she said about coal, Zhang Xiaobao didn't move at all, and his concentration was quite strong.
"Cuckoo, what's the use of this thing?" Zhang Zhong asked, looking at his daughter-in-law there in a daze.
"It's faster to collapse the rice flower." Wang Juan can only think of this use now. As for iron smelting, she and Zhang Xiaobao have tried it, but they have not succeeded, so they will try again later.
"Then this thing is easy to use?" Zhang Zhong asked again.
At this time, Wang Juan couldn't say how good the coal was, but said, "It's okay, I'll talk about it later."
Zhang Zhong turned his head and continued to ask Tian Gouzi, "Then how much grain can you harvest in a year? One mu of land."
"It's less than a stone, and some only grow grass. The original county magistrate was at that time. When it was still dry last year, the original renters had to be requisitioned for two years. There were three hundred people in our village. They were ready to fight, and then they got scared, so they didn't dare to come over."
As soon as Tian Gouzi talked about this, his fists clenched, and his voice became louder, so loud that even people outside could hear him. The main book and Xiancheng's car were not far away, and they both listened. When I arrived, I sat there with different expressions.
The servants who followed also heard it. They sighed almost at the same time. There was no way. They had to pass. It was all the magistrate Wen said at the beginning. Who dares not to go? Fortunately, the new magistrate’s home I have money, but I don’t know how much money is. I only know that the first day I just came, I gave out more than a hundred dollars.
Now there is no need to worry about collecting rent in Yushu Village. More than a hundred consistent money may not be able to be requisitioned for ten years in the poor village.
Zhang Zhong didn't expect that Wen County magistrate was so greedy, and said angrily: "This is no longer greedy, it's killing."
"My lord, you are right. If you really hand over the leftover food, we will have to starve to death. My lord, will you go and collect rent?"
Tian Gouzi always thought that the county magistrate was very good, and even allowed him to ride in a car that the county magistrate could ride, and he could speak so kindly, so he felt that he would not collect rent.
Zhang Zhong didn't directly say not to go, but said: "It depends on what happens in your village. If there is more food, you will naturally go. If there is less food, you don't need it. I don't want to take the rent."
"Oh, maybe it won't be much, the land is not good, do adults usually live without too much spending, and there are few people in the family?" Tian Gouzi asked again.
"Well, it's only two thousand people. I don't usually go to other places to eat. I just eat at Jinlailou. Do you think I will be greedy for that renter?" Zhang Zhong thinks Tian Gouzi is honest and honest. , Teased him on purpose.
Sure enough, Tian Gouzi was shocked when he heard Zhang Zhong's words, opened his mouth wide, his throat moved, and said, "My lord, why are there so many people in your family?"
"The owners of the three Zhuangzi, that’s all when they add up, and the Jinlailou was also opened by my subordinates." Zhang Zhong wanted Tian Gouzi to go back and tell the matter. Then he would go to Yushu Village. People don’t worry about him going to collect rent.
Tian Gouzi looked at Wang Juan who was opposite, and Wang Juan nodded, acknowledging this fact.
"My lord, then you must not be short of money or food. My lord, I want to get off the bus. I want to tell the people in the village back to let them not be afraid that the new county magistrate will come over and collect the rent for two years. No matter how much the renter we pay there is not as much money as the money paid by the grown-ups.
My lord still has a Zhuangzi in his own family. Three of them are not short of food. I don’t need to worry about living anymore. My lord, let me go down. I will kowtow to you first. You are a good official, and those who are not greedy for money are good officials. "
Tian Gouzi said excitedly there, insisting to get out of the car, Zhang Zhong thought about it, asked someone to stop the car, and then asked, "Do you still have food now?"
"Yes, my lord, now that spring is beginning, wild vegetables are coming out. Just get some wild vegetables and get together and you can eat it. Ours is in the elm village, and there are elm tree money to eat, and the elm tree leaves are also good, as long as there are no bugs on it. "
Tian Gouzi seemed to think it would be a good day to eat some wild vegetables or some elm money. There, he cheered up to Zhang Zhong and said several ways to eat it.
Wang Juan looked at Tian Gouzi, who was happy to eat wild vegetables because of the arrival of spring, was talking there. He closed his eyes and looked down at Zhang Xiaobao. The corners of Zhang Xiaobao’s mouth turned up. He seemed very happy and made Wang Juan work hard. After a pinch, Zhang Xiaobao's lips moved.
"The elm money is really delicious. Let my father send them some food. When the two people are used up to clean them up, he will dig coal there, give them some compensation, or ask them to help dig. Life will be better than other places."
Wang Juan thinks too, there is no need to be sad, now you can send some food, oil, meat, etc., wait for the things to pass, the past cannot be followed, and now it is enough to live well.
"Brother Tian, you can actually go back with some food. My father-in-law will give you some." Wang Juan finally spoke at this time. She was still embarrassed to call her father-in-law directly, unlike Zhang Xiaobao's thick-skinned face. The father yelled one by one father-in-law.
Zhang Zhong understood. This must be how the son and daughter-in-law discussed just now. They were preparing to provide food and other things in Yushu Village. They also said: "Tian Gouzi, first say the number, how much is needed, for the whole village, when the time comes. I asked Zhuangzi to give it."
"My lord, we work and eat ourselves. We can't ask for other people's things in vain. We don't have anything to pay back." Tian Gouzi didn't want it. He knew that the people in the village would have enough food. Don't open this mouth.
Zhang Zhong now understands why the county magistrate Wen didn't dare to send someone over to force him to accept it.
Wang Juan also gave a secret compliment. This is the backbone. It seems that the whole village is like this. This village wants it.
Persuaded: "Brother Tian, it is not for you in vain. I have to let you help with the work in a few days. I will count it from the salary at that time, and the work will be very tiring."
"Really? Didn't you lie to us?" Tian Gouzi also wanted to eat better, but he couldn't take other people's things for nothing, and the people in the village would not agree. Now he heard that he could work for a change, he asked hopefully .
"Really, how much does Brother Tian want?" Wang Juan asked again.
Tian Gouzi broke his fingers and began to count there, "Yes, want... How much do you want, one person eats one catty a day, 322 people, how much food a day? Two hundred catties? Isn't it right, More, two hundred and fifty catties of grain..."
Listening to Tian Gouzi’s counting there, Wang Juan finally realized the importance of education, so he had to say next to him, “Big Brother Tian, does your algorithm only eat food? Of course it costs to eat only food, and you can also eat some meat. Then use oil to fry some wild vegetables. That day, adults and children, on average, will be enough for an average of half a catty.
Three hundred and twenty-two people, half a catty per person a day, first for a month and thirty days, 4,830 catties, five thousand catties, each person has one tael a day, which is 960 catties. Meat, no, it’s 603 catties and twelve taels of meat. Give one hundred catties first. Let’s have a good meal of dumplings first. The meat can’t be given at once, it can be broken, and there is oil. One person gives five catties. More than one thousand six hundred catties, what else is missing? "
Wang Juan said in one breath the quantity of various things, only for one month, and within a month, you can go there to dig coal. When the time comes, you will directly pay the wages, and those who are willing to ask for money will be willing to pay. Give things to those who ask for things.
Tian Gouzi listened to Wang Juan’s counting there, and didn’t know how to figure it out. If he wanted to have meat, he nodded and agreed, “Then first, if you have oil and water, you don’t need to eat so much food. We have to come and find us to work quickly, or we have to find a way to return it to you."
At this time, Zhang Zhong knew what actions his son and daughter-in-law were going to do over there, and said, "Well, I must go to find you to work. If there is no work, I will find someone from your village to come over as a government servant and detain from there tomorrow. Just transport the food there."
Tian Gouzi got out of the car happily. As soon as she landed on her feet, she turned and knelt down, and kowtow to the carriage: "My lord, you are a good official. People in Yushu Village will not forget you. You will go to Yushu Village in the future. Go and have a look, we will carry you all the way, and never let you touch any black things on your feet."
After saying these words, he had already knocked his head nine times in a row, stood up, looked up at the sky, and strode back.
The officials didn’t know what they said in the car just now. They saw Tian Gouzi kowtow to the new county magistrate and said he was holding it all the way. They felt that they had seen incredible things. When did the people in Yushu Village be like this? Good to talk
Looking at the magistrate's car again, there was an unusual sentiment in his eyes.
The master book and the county Cheng also heard what Tian Gouzi said, and became even more jealous of Zhang Zhong who didn't know how to subdue a village.
Zhang Xiaobao in the car also got up at this time and said happily: "There is coal. Now Huayuan County is impossible to develop without thinking. Let's collect more first and transport it to Zhuangzi over there to store more."
