Chapter 390

The wheat in the field was still green. Old Zhou tou reached out and touched the thin wheat husk on the ear of wheat. The fine spring rain gently wet his hand.

He looked down at the wheat roots that were rapidly absorbing the spring rain in the wheat field, and couldn't help but say happily, "it's a good rain."

Zhou Dalang wiped the rain on his face and nodded again and again, "yes, it's just a coincidence that he can grout the wheat."

Old Zhou tou spent a day walking all the fields planted with winter wheat. Like him, many people in the village came out in the rain to see the wheat field.

Among the vast fields, the stars are dotted with people walking back and forth in coir raincoats.

On this day, many people were caught in the rain in Luojiang County, among which those who walked in the fields and were wet by the rain were the happiest.

Yang county magistrate, who was also caught in the rain, was not very happy. He quickly stepped into the main room, pulled down his coir raincoat and threw it to his entourage. He took the towel handed over by the servant and wiped it, and then threw it into the servant's hand.

The martial master who greeted him paused and hurriedly asked, "Lord, what's the matter with the former yamen?"

"Nothing!" That's why I'm more angry, isn't it?

Yang Heshu sat on his chair and frowned. "Is the interest of one or two silver and twelve Wen a month very high?"

The master said, "not high."

"It's not high. Why doesn't anyone come to credit the cow?" Yang Heshu said, "it's been five days. Only six households in Luojiang county have come to borrow Qianniu on credit. Seeing that a new round of spring ploughing is about to start, no one is excited?"

The master smiled and said, "Why are you anxious, sir? The poor family, let alone three or four Liang, is also a big thing. If you really want to give the cattle credit, you might as well relax some requirements. I believe the rest of the cattle can be taken away on credit in less than three days."

"If we relax again, we will lend the cattle to the squire on credit."

The master smiled and said, "why not? Anyway, cattle are used for farming."

Yang Heshu glanced at shiye lightly.

The master's body was stiff and said with a stiff smile, "sir?"

Yang Heshu flicked his robe and asked, "do I look like a fool?"

Then he got up and left.

The martial master was stiff and wanted to catch up, but he couldn't save face. He blushed for a moment.

Wantian, Yang Heshu's entourage, hurried up, "young master, why are you angry when you say it?"

Yang and Shu snorted.

Wan Tian said, "in fact, I think what the master said is right. So many cattle eat a lot of forage every day. They can't go out on credit. Isn't the young master upset?"

"What do you know?" Yang Heshu said angrily, "I asked people to send so many cows. Do you think it's a buy and sell business? Do you know that for every cow on credit, the county government and I lose some. "

"I don't care if they buy cattle on credit like the Zhou family. They make a profit because they are poor. I'm willing to eat such a harmless loss," Yang Heshu said. "But what's the matter with giving the lost profit to the squire who is not short of money?"

The question of Wantian's forehead is obviously understood.

Yang Heshu patted him on the head and said, "Why are you so stupid? You're worse than a child. It's a pity that you've read books with me for so many years."

Yang Heshu went back to the house and changed into fresh clothes before he asked, "do you know how much I lost when the child, the man Bao, borrowed silver and changed it into copper to buy cattle?"

Wan Tian said vaguely, "didn't the young master say that the county government borrowed silver and wanted to return silver? Although there is a price difference between copper and silver, we didn't lose money. "

"If you're stupid, you don't believe it. The county government didn't lose a piece of silver on credit, but we lost money selling cattle. When we bought these cattle, the county government and I gave silver, not copper!"

Yang Heshu said: "all the cattle to be borrowed on credit are priced at cost. They are silver. I didn't know that there is such a big difference between silver and copper money before..."

After a pause, Yang and Shu said, "so we are losing money on every cow in the cowshed."

What made him angry was that no one took advantage of him in such a loss making business. He was so angry!

Wan Tian finally cleared the relationship during this period and couldn't help being anxious. "Young master, why did you deliberately ask someone to teach people to credit cattle at the gate of the County Yamen to credit silver first and then change it into copper to buy cattle? Well, isn't that a pit? "

"It doesn't matter," Yang Heshu said after drinking a mouthful of tea. "Although I also paid a little money, the big head came from the county government, and the pit was also from the county government, but at least the people have benefited, isn't it?"

Wantian:... Please forgive his stupidity. He really doesn't know the difference between these periods. Isn't his young master the magistrate of Luojiang county now?

Didn't the county government pit itself?

"These people are poor. Having a cow can be regarded as two more labors. Life is better, but those squires are not short of money. If the conditions are relaxed, they will take all these cattle without blinking," Yang he said. "Why should I let them take advantage of me?"

Wantian couldn't help muttering, "it's a loss anyway..."

"What do you know?" Yang Heshu knocked him on the head and said, "some losses are too much, some losses can't be eaten. Luojiang County suffered a serious disaster last year, and the tax was exempted for only one year. This autumn harvest has to pay tax... Forget it, forget it, you don't understand. "

"Young master, what about the cows in the cowshed if no one comes to credit them all the time?"

"What else can we do? We can only divide it."

"Ah?" Wantian opened his mouth.

Yang Heshu waved his hand and said, "OK, on the way back just now, I heard the old officials in the Yamen say that when the spring rain comes down, the spring ploughing will start again. Go and call Zhang master book and ask him to inform gelizheng. Let's discuss the cattle division."

Wantian closed his mouth and hesitated to ask, "really?"

"No matter what, keep these cows for you to feed," Yang Heshu said. "Give them to each Li to ease the pressure of spring ploughing at any rate."

As a county magistrate, his main duty is to persuade farmers to teach mulberry.

How to persuade class Nongsang?

In addition to going to the mountains and the countryside to do ideological construction and encouragement for farmers' friends, sometimes we have to provide certain material and technical support.

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

Seeds are generally supported on a large scale. Basically, each family can get some. Of course, such activities vary according to the situation of each county. At least in man Bao's memory, her family has not been given seeds from the Yamen.

As for farm tools, they will give support to some families who are particularly poor and have serious damage to farm tools.

And cattle, such a valuable thing, are generally the common property of the people in Yili, that is, they are used and looked after in turn.
