"Li Gui, you think this is clear."

"A identity like Ergui is really not worth delaying here."

"If every Zhuangzi delayed like this, I don't know when I will be able to reach Tianchengwei and Shuozhou."

"The situation is similar in all regions. I have counted the annual harvest last year. I feel it is very bad. Who knows it is worse this year? I have the average yield statistics table of Tianchengwei for three consecutive years. I also want to do the calculations for the past ten or even twenty years. I think the second cabinet may have to calculate the amount of area and the other person's farm, how much stone grain can be collected at a time, so as to make a prediction for the next step of accounting for the total grain collection number..."

&nb.(m)sp;The last person spoke was a small man with a fair face, and he spoke softly, looking inconfident.

"Xia Xiping said it well," Li Gui's eyes lit up and he said, "Ergui may really think so."

"Not necessarily." A black guy blinked and said in a funny tone: "Maybe Erguillot is so slow..."

"You guys don't tell jokes."

"Well, the second cabinet has gone far away, let's follow."

Everyone did not laugh after hearing the "joke", but just urged their friends to follow suit.

Li Yuchun was not very far away just now. Who knows if he would hear these unrespectful words from his partner.

The old shopkeeper Zhou Fengjide is highly respected. In addition to the smuggling business of the main store, his daily business has also risen in recent years because of the sufficient supply and good goods. The old shopkeeper's past connections have also played a significant role. In addition to the relationship between the main store and various branches, Zhou Fengji is also very well coordinated, after all, he has this prestige.

Liang Hong focused on the management of mule and horse shops and the main store of the account store, and also gained wide respect.

In contrast, Li Yuchun's status is relatively awkward. He always runs outside and doesn't care much about the business of the main store. In addition, he used to target Zhang Han's past, which made many loyal Zhang Han always look at him with a strange look. Others may not know these things, but these young people who have been studying at the core know very clearly that some words cannot be said randomly.

Li Yuchun still walked in front with his hands behind his back, saying a few words to the people in the village from time to time, as if he had not heard the words of these young people behind him.

Before dark, everyone arrived at the boarding farmhouse. The peasant woman in the house was spreading oil cakes, and smoke was emitting from the house.

The young men couldn't smell the smell of oil smoke and felt it was choking. They sat on the bench outside the door and told jokes. The old yellow dog in the yard looked at them in a daze. The yard was not big, and there was a chicken pen in the southwest corner. About ten chickens were pecking at the open space without anything. Several half-year-old children were crowded in the house. The little dirty face was full of expectant expressions, and they were waiting to eat.

Li Yuchun entered the house and bid farewell to the person in charge of the village. He sat on the corner of the pit and smoked with a fire with a fire.

Half an hour later, the peasant woman invited everyone in to have a meal.

On the table were fried eggs, cucumbers, and picked toon buds and salt. The owners' attitude was like a big meal.

Li Yuchun said some polite words, and then used chopsticks to pull half of the eggs to the owner's children. The boys' attitude was not very concerned, and they even thought the meal was too monotonous. After all, their food standard in Xinpingbao was basically the same as the archers in the military camp, but the meat intake standard was 2 taels a day, which was not low, and there was a standard for meat dishes for every meal.

In addition to meat, they also eat essential grains almost every meal. They did not suffer much during their growth, so they were one head taller than the people at that time and had good teeth. If Li Yuchun had not pointed out their identities, these ordinary farmers would only think that these young people were rich young masters.

The meal was finished quickly, and the owner gave up the ward room and lived in the side room. After dark, they did not light the lights. The children were driven into the house and soon stopped. Apart from the occasional barking of dogs, the entire village was in a darkness, and only the moonlight in the sky was emitting clear light.

"It's better to be Xinpingbao." Li Guiban lay in the pit and said lazily: "I can't eat well here, I sleep with a lot of stuff, and I'm bored. I have to sleep before I get up."

"At this time, it's less than eight o'clock, using the uncle's clock, we're still in class in Xinpingbao."

"I'm so eager to do things during class, but I feel that class is good..."

Several young men whispered, but Li Yuchun suddenly sat up. Before the oil lamp in the corner of the room was blown out, everyone saw him with a stern face.

"Second Cabinet, let's go to bed immediately."

Li Gui was a clever person. He saw that Li Yuchun was not very happy, so he quickly went to blow the lights.

"Don't blow the lights, I'll say a few words to you."

Li Yuchun waved his hand and looked at several escorts.

The young men were a little nervous and looked at him with a gaze.

"You are not from wealthy families..." Li Yuchun said dryly, and she said something first, then glanced around the corners of her eyes, then lowered her head to light up and smoke, and a clicking sound came from the room.

After lit the cigarette, he said, "Now you have a life of all life. Each family not only has good food and accommodation, but also has money. This is why the boss has brought you such a good life, so you must not forget your roots in everything."

Xia Xiping said: "We have never forgotten the kindness of the boss, and we will never dare to forget it."

"Yes." Li Yuchun nodded and said, "You're calculating the accounts on the surface, but if you don't forget your foundation, the accounts are not calculated like this."

He said to everyone, "Get up and follow me to the stove."

Everyone didn't know what he intended, but they didn't dare to disobey. They quickly came down and followed Li Yuchun to the stove.

Li Gui was smart and came over with an oil lamp. When he arrived at the stove, he was indeed pitch black. When Li Yuchun saw him bringing the oil lamp over, he nodded slightly, but did not praise him. He lifted the lid of the stove and pointed to the pot and said, "Look, what is this?"

Xia Xiping picked up one, pinched it, and said, "This is steamed with mixed grains and wild vegetables."

"Yes." Li Yuchun said: "Married grains are exchanged for wheat. The one you calculated is here. After collecting the grain, each company has to keep some life-saving money on hand. In addition, the remaining grains are exchanged for mixed grains. From spring to autumn, there are wild vegetables. In the good times, you can eat less wild vegetables, and you can eat some meat and fish. You can eat more refined grains. For example, these years have been a waste year, and many refugees have fled. It is fortunate that each company can go out to beg for food or sell houses and land. It is still a blessing that they dare not go out to beg for food or sell houses and land.

Eat fine grain? It is true that the family has five stones of grain, but each family has at most half a stone. They can give them some food for children during festivals and holidays. All the rest is sold to us, and they eat coarse grains and wild vegetables by themselves. Why? Because the price we give is fair, because we do things based on our conscience and do not do things about those cats and dogs, so people believe us. You, watch more, listen more, learn more, and do things with care. This is the right way to pay the boss to support you so much, and provide you with your studies. Every day, fine rice, white flour, meat and vegetables!"

"Ergui, we understand." Li Gui covered his face and squatted down: "I am still a craftsman. I lived the same life as them before. I have only lived a few good years. I am so stupid."

Xia Xiping's eyes were also red, and he said, "Second Cabinet, this is how the account is calculated. It turns out that we can collect two thousand stones in such a farm. I really understand. But I would rather we collect a few hundred stones less, they can keep a few hundred stones more, and eat fine grains a few days apart."

"You guys are kind," Li Yuchun sighed and said, "Our boss is kind, too. In fact, according to the current year and situation, ordinary small and medium-sized grain merchants can't help it, and small and medium-sized field owners can't hold on. Our boss is kind, and he still needs to collect at a high price. In fact, the worse the year, the harder everyone's life is, and it can reduce the price of grain."

In fact, normal grain merchants do the same as Li Yuchun said. The more they grow, the harder they try to suppress the price of grain before the summer tax, and then slowly rise all the way. When selling grain, the food price is so low that it is scary. Later, Qinghuang refused to take over and wanted to buy grain to eat, and the grain price is so high that it is scary.

After going around, it was equivalent to the government using a whip method to help merchants and gentry landlords exploit the people. Even small and medium-sized landlords could not afford to eat this way of playing. In the late Ming Dynasty, a large number of small and medium-sized landlords went bankrupt, mainly concentrated in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan provinces with severe natural disasters.

Li Gui said: "Oh, I hope that in a few years we can get better and everyone can live a better life."

Li Yuchun said: "I thought so before, pointing at God to eat. Now it seems that God is not reliable, so I still have to rely on myself. I have been to the northern Shaanxi realm. No one can do anything except God. There may not be a river for dozens of miles. After all, we are still good here. There are many rivers and lots of groundwater. Whether it is a big water truck to dig water or drill wells, as long as you are willing or able to dig water, there will be a harvest. In our Lizhuang, as long as the field of the owner is the landlord, the harvest is about three and a half stones, and the paddy fields are five to seven stones. This harvest is said to be much the same as in Jiangnan."

"It must be led by someone like the owner. Who would like to pay a few thousand taels of silver to repair the water truck and change the water canal?"

"Even if someone wants to do it, it can't stand people's hearts."

"It's not just about digging water." Xia Xiping was very concerned about these things. He said: "There are also various ways to dig deep trenches in the fields, raise fertility, use cooked manure, and select breeding. These are all taught by Kong Minxing. Without him, the yield would not have increased so much."

"Yes." Li Yuchun sucked a cigarette, and the cigarette butts flashed with fire. He said in an approving tone: "Xia Xiping, I remember you. You are really willing to think about it carefully when doing things. You are a good material. I want to recommend you to the boss to go to the archer to do things."

"Xie Ergui praises." A flash of flush flashed across Xia Xiping's face, and his body was trembling with excitement.

Xia Xiping has average physical fitness. Many young men hope to be able to choose archers in the future and be able to be officers directly with qualifications. As archers are not as good as border troops, Zhang Han has always paid great attention to the death and injury rate of archers, and the battlefield treatment is also timely. After fighting for so long, the death and injury of archers of more than 1,000 people are still less than twenty. The injured are rarely disabled. The death and injury rate of officers is even lower, and the treatment is scary... High salary and high subsidies. The officers have a lot of money from clothing to food and housing. The salary they hold is not worse than the store owners. In the eyes of young people, they usually only practice and run together and learn some military learning. It is not as tiring as they learn things in Xinpingbao. If they can be selected as officers, it is of course the best thing to do.
