He Yiwei also saw the two people in front of him. He thought that Wang Juan and Xiaobao deliberately designed him, so he did not go over immediately. Instead, he looked at Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao. Seeing the two of them also had doubts and sent someone to ask him. The butler was sent over.
It didn't take long for the two of them to come back from there and tell the people in their respective homes what they had heard and seen.
"Master, see clearly, one of them is Japanese, and the other is from Tang Dynasty. Both of them are from Sihai Academy of Huainan Road. They want to establish a cultural agreement with the local people and wait for autumn. , Using money to buy the straw left over after they finished the rice, the price is not low."
He Yiwei's butler told the master what he had learned.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also understood here.
"What do they want straw for? Is it to make fertilizer? We make things and sell it for money? Isn't Sihai Academy the place where the imperial court makes out for fraudulent money? If I want to harvest straw, what will I do? Um, yes. It is burned into plant ash and then boiled soda, but the cost is too high to be economical."
Wang Juan didn’t figure out what to do with straw harvesting, but she knew that the more unintelligible things seemed, the more unusual they were. Kind of wild feeling.
Zhang Xiaobao also squinted his eyes and wondered, "It may be that international friends have to be kind to help, knowing that it is not easy for the people in this county to raise the price to collect straw, or the kind of'contract' that must be sold to them as long as there is straw, otherwise the compensation is ten times. It's forcing others to benefit, good people."
"Then go over and take a closer look at the good people." Wang Juan saw Zhang Xiaobao couldn't tell, so he pulled Zhang Xiaobao and walked forward.
He Yiwei also walked over. He wanted to figure out what a Japanese and a Datang person were planning to do together. Could it be that harvesting straw could make a fortune? The price is too high. For a car that is usually used, a full car pays six cents. A car of good firewood is only five or six cents. Is straw worth more than good firewood
When the three people approached, two people from the Sihai Academy were persuading the farmers: "Brother, don't worry, we must charge at this price. We have money. When we are late today, we will go to the county magistrate. Discuss, put the money used to collect the straw in the yamen first, and we won’t be able to collect it if we don’t want to."
"The price you gave is too high, I'm afraid." The farmer is very honest, and if others give more money, they are even more worried.
"It's not high. We want straw to be of great use. Usually, a car can sell for three or four cents. What we want is to dry it out, so that's six cents."
The Japanese speak very skilled language interpretation.
The farmer wanted to ask another question. Suddenly seeing three people coming over, his eyes brightened and he realized that the county magistrate, the master director, and the county chief came here today and hurriedly saluted "He county magistrate, Wang Xiancheng, master Zhang , The three of you are here, and the two of them said that they would use the high false harvest of the straw after the autumn harvest this year. I don’t know if I should agree to it."
After talking to the three people, the farmer turned to two people and said: "This is the He County Order in our county. You just said that you want to put the money in the yamen. Ask the County Order."
The two people looked at He Yiwei. He Yiwei was stunned. He wanted to hide behind, but he was sent to the front by the farmer. He met the gazes of the two people, coughed restrainedly, and said: "This official is Baoxin County. The magistrate is yes, why do you two harvest straw?"
"My lord? Are you really an adult?" This person from Datang took a closer look and saw that He Yiwei did wear official uniforms, but the other two children who also wore official uniforms were too small.
"The county magistrate can still cheat? If you don't believe me, catch you two back to the yamen, where are the yamen?" He Yiwei could not discuss the face issue, threatening, and the yamen responded immediately, and he was indeed wearing yamen's clothes.
This time, I actually brought two yamen here, and the yamen were also very generous. I knew that the county magistrate didn’t count, so I stepped up to help. When external, internal fighting stopped first.
"Believe, believe, since the adults are here, I will tell the matter to the adults. Both of me want to use straws to make the same profitable business. At this time, I can’t say yet. Once it’s done, the adults will know and I’m willing to use six. Collect money from a normal cart of dry straw, and deposit two thousand in the county government office, and ask the adults to fulfill it."
The Japanese came over and said respectfully, with sincere meaning in his eyes.
"Use straws to make big money? Wait, I'll talk about it after my county officials discussed it." He Yiwei couldn't figure out how to make big money with straws anyway, and the two of them waited. He gathered in front of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and whispered:
"Little Treasure, help, how to make big money with straw? I know who you are, the man behind the economic war in Jiannan Road, do you say yes or no?"
He Yiwei is very humble. Through these few days of understanding, he has obtained a lot of information, especially what happened in Jiannan Road. In the war of killing but not seeing blood, Zhang Xiaobao, a small child in his county, was under the command. No wonder Ma Ma was so frightened.
"He county magistrate, you are a county magistrate, you can't do nothing, you just rely on exploiting the people to live your life, you have to be like a county magistrate, you are the master of this matter, uh! In this way, if something goes wrong, don’t be afraid to find me and the cuckoo. You are the commander of the imperial court and the backbone of the people. You have to look like a parent official, otherwise how will you take on the great responsibilities in the future?"
Zhang Xiaobao is not ready to intervene immediately. What's more, he can't see anything now. Maybe someone really has a way to make straws worth money. There are indeed many ways to use straws.
Seeing Zhang Xiaobao push the matter back, He Yiwei was still willing to help take the responsibility, gritted his teeth, turned around and came to the two of them and said: "Okay, okay, that's it, when will the two thousand dollars be sent to the yamen? When will you? It can work with local farmers."
"Thank you, sir, and thank you, sir." The two of them thanked each other and looked very happy.
Wang Juan said at this time: "He County Order, Shangniu Village is short of manpower for spring plowing. It is better to wait for me to help planting rice seedlings. We can also know the suffering of the people."
"Okay, okay, that's it." What else can He Yiwei say, let's do it.
The three of them took their subordinates into Tianzhong to help planting rice seedlings. Zhang Xiaobao asked him to send the boots he brought to the hands of everyone, and put them on and jumped to Tianzhong to help.
Half of the twenty-odd people don't know how to plant seedlings, and they have to learn now. Because of their height, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan plant seedlings very quickly. Both of them are good people. They have Zhuangzi at home. They used to watch by the field and later participated in them personally.
He Yiwei doesn’t. Don’t look at his previous bad life at home, but he is focused on studying, and his tired parents at home will not let him do it. Just like others, he grabs a handful of rice seedlings in one hand and splits out two or three plants in the other. , Press in the water along the line.
"Hiss!" He Yiwei took a breath less than ten times after pressing it. It was cold, really cold, and he was clearly wearing boots under his feet, but he still couldn't stop the cold from coming in. There was also a biting sensation in his hands, moving up his arms and neck. All followed uncomfortable.
I raised my head to see that the farmer stepped barefoot in the water, then gritted his teeth and continued to push it down. When he was rubbed by the soil, his fingers hurt.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao were also uncomfortable, but the two of them could bear it. They took two steps, and they were not slower than the farmers. Two of the four people sent by Gao Lishi could also do farm work, and the other two had no choice but to carry rice. Seedlings, two earthen baskets one after the other, with muddy rice seedlings on them, walking on the muddy and narrow ridge, it is really slippery step by step.
There is only one man and a 13-year-old girl working in this field. The two of them are really tired. The girl just didn’t know what the biggest officials of the three counties were doing. At this time, I saw that they were all down. When I went to plant rice seedlings in Tanaka, I didn't know what to do there.
Officials, the three biggest officials in the county planted rice seedlings in their own fields. The two best officials who are about the same age as their own are so proficient in doing it, so let them do it
"Girl, go home quickly, let grandma boil ginger water, adults are golden and expensive, but they can't get sick." The man urged his daughter.
"I know." The little girl turned around and ran, she didn't wear the shoes on the side of the field.
Plugging in, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan felt that they were warming up after exercise. They pulled up their trouser legs, took off their shoes, and started walking barefoot in the water. It was not that they were not afraid of the cold, but the boots were too in the way, the ground was wet and the mud stuck to the feet. , When there are places with different shades, the boots will be crooked, water will still be poured in, then wear them, and the distance between two ridges will be able to grind out bubbles.
He Yiwei didn’t know yet, he still couldn’t bear to take off his boots, rolled his official robe to his waist, bent up and plugged it in, plugging it in, the boots were flooded, and he felt a little uncomfortable at the beginning. He waited for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan planted six ridges. When he planted one and a half ridges, he finally realized that something was wrong. It hurts. The water got into his boots and rubbed his feet.
I took the boots down and found that they were blistering and red in the white.
The housekeeper who was next to him came over, "Master, why don't you go and rest?"
"You can rest? Can you rest? Dare to rest? General Gao’s son and daughter-in-law are soaking you in the water to let me rest? , I discovered that Xiaobao and Cuckoo didn’t wear something like ours, they were something very thin that was put directly on their feet and looked at."
How dare He Yiwei go up? He found a problem, that is, what he wears on his feet is different. Some people wear shoes and boots barefoot, some people wrap their feet with cloth, and he has made one that fits on his calf. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are of another kind. They are not thick. They can be pulled down as soon as they are just past the ankles. What is this? It seems very convenient.
"Master, the bubble on your feet?" the butler said distressedly.
"Go back to pick, I don't believe it, the two children are capable, I can't do it, it's really cool." He Yiwei also stepped directly into the water, gritted his teeth and continued to stick.
Others dare not complain, let's share the joys and sorrows.
People passing by saw this scene. The three biggest officials in the county were helping out in other people's fields, and they passed noon as soon as they did. They didn't even eat any food.
The people don't think about what to do, they just feel very moved. This is the officials of Baoxin County, which is different from before.
