Chapter 297： The person with the largest food reserves in ten miles and eight townships

  Chapter 297 The person with the most food reserves in eight towns

   "It seems that you have already organized people, that's just right, I just have some things for you to do." Wei Ruo said.

   "Young master, please order." Although he was very reluctant in his heart, Zhao Hai had to agree, they are members of the master, and the most important thing they should do is to obey the orders of the master.

   "You don't seem to be very willing?" Wei Ruo asked.

   "Small ones dare not."

   I dare not, but I am indeed reluctant.

  Wei Ruo chuckled and said, "Six carts of wheat will be transported from Younan Farm in a while, so you can take the people you organized to move the wheat."

  Hearing this, Zhao Hai was stunned, raised his head, and looked straight at Wei Ruo.

   Originally a dull face, now it is no different from a piece of wood.

   "Young master, you said... wheat... wheat?"

   Wei Ruo's words stuttered Zhao Hai in shock.

   "Yes, Liuche Maizi, does anyone in Zhuangzi know how to make pasta?" Wei Ruo asked.

  Not many people make pasta in the south, and not everyone knows how to make pasta.

  Zhao Hai hasn't recovered from the last news that shocked him. Facing Wei Ruo's next question, he still looked dull and didn't answer for a long time.

  Xiumei said angrily: "Why are you standing there? The young master asked you something. Someone in the village knows how to make pasta, right? Don't divide the wheat and go back without knowing how to make it for food!"

   "Do you really want to send us wheat?" Zhao Hai still couldn't believe it.

   "It's not free. I will take back the same amount of rice when the autumn harvest comes." Wei Ruo said.

  Although he is a tenant in his own village, Wei Ruo will not do such a large-scale donation of grain casually.

  Sometimes it is difficult to be a good person. If you give a gift unconditionally, it is inevitable that some of the donors will be greedy.

  Zhao Hai was still in a daze, and the servants in the village came to inform: Manager Yu from Younan Farm brought the convoy to Caili Farm.

   "Manager Zhao, call your people to move the wheat."

  Wei Ruo's voice successfully recalled Zhao Hai's thoughts, he nodded in a daze, and then quickly ran towards the gate of Zhuangzi, calling for people while running.

  When they saw the six carts of wheat parked at the door of the farmer, Zhao Hai and other people in Caili Farm were too excited to speak.

  Boss Yu came over and said to Zhao Hai with a smile: "Boss Zhao, the wheat has been delivered, hurry up and arrange for someone to move in."

   "Yes, yes, move the wheat, move the wheat!" Zhao Hai said excitedly.

  Wei Ruo walked slowly to the gate, when Steward Yu saw her, he hurried forward to say hello: "Master."

Wei Ruo nodded, and then said to Zhao Hai: "Guarantee Zhao, this is Guanshi Yu. From today on, he will be in charge of Zhuangzi's account affairs, but your status as steward will remain the same. The month I will give you The money will not change, and I will arrange other more important work for you in the future."

  Zhao Hai is a simple and honest person, and he is willing to do it, but he is not suitable for managing accounts.

  For the sake of convenience, Wei Ruo intends to hand over the accounts of the two farms to Yu Guanshi for unified management. As for Zhao Hai, he has a better place to shine.

  Zhao Hai nodded: "Listen to Young Master's arrangement."

"Now you go and inform the tenants in the village that I want to distribute wheat. You ask them to line up to pick it up, sign and press their fingerprints, and pay an extra 20 catties of rent when the autumn harvest comes." Wei Ruo explained Zhao Hai.

   "Okay, I'll inform you now." This time Zhao Hai reacted quite quickly, and immediately ran down to obey Wei Ruo's order.

  After Zhao Hai left, Manager Yu said with emotion: "The farmers in Caili Farm are all blessed. After meeting you, the owner, they don't have to sell their houses and children like other families outside."

   "Just treat me as a business, pay them some food in advance, and have to get it back later." Wei Ruo said.

   "My boss is being humble again." Manager Yu said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Guanshi Yu said with emotion: "Nowadays, in the ten miles and eight villages, you are the only one who has a lot of food in the warehouse. The other families are all stretched. It is absolutely impossible to distribute grain to tenants.”

  Of course Wei Ruo knows that there are not many people in the Taizhou capital who have as much food as hers. I'm afraid that even the government's granary doesn't have as much food reserves as Wei Ruo.

  Wei Ruo doesn't plan to sell grain now, and even the grain shop in Xingshan County has recently closed down.

   "Don't say this outside, let's just be ourselves behind closed doors." Wei Ruo told Guanshi Yu.

   "My boss, don't worry, I'll just say a few words of emotion in front of you, not to mention the outside world, and I won't say anything to the people under my command."

   "Well, let's go, let's go into Zhuangzi, and we'll talk about it after finishing today's business."

   After Wei Ruo finished speaking, he and Yu Guanshi entered Caili Farm together, and immediately began to distribute wheat to the tenants who came to collect wheat.

   At the same time, Xiaowei Mansion, Cangyun Garden.

  Mr. Yun was worrying about the account books.

  Last year, Zhuangzi’s income was not very good, and the shop also lost money. I thought it would be better this year, but so far this year, the situation in Zhuangzi is not optimistic, and the shop has lost a lot of money.

   And just now she also received a letter from the capital, saying that the eldest brother at home got drunk and beat someone, and the mansion sold the land for a lot of money to settle the matter.

   In this way, the capital will not be able to subsidize them this year, and they may even be unable to take care of themselves.

  Although the husband's salary has increased now, after arriving in Fucheng, the mansion has added two servants, and the daily expenses have also increased a bit.

  The eldest son is studying in the college, and the expenses are even more expensive.

  Mr. Yun rubbed his temples. No matter how he calculated, this year's food shortage would not be filled.

   And to buy food, with the current price of food, the financial situation of the government is very tight.

  I really don't know what to do.

  The new field just purchased at the beginning of this year, but it has not been a few months, because of the loss of the shop, weather changes and other reasons, it has reached a situation where it does not know how to operate.

   After looking at it for a long time, there was no result, Yun pushed the account book aside, and when he wanted to change his mind, he caught a glimpse of the tea bag placed on the corner of the table from the corner of his eye.

   Yun looked at the tea bag in a daze.

   This is a gift from Mrs. Xu when she came to visit me a few days ago. It is a black tea that has recently become popular in the city.

  If the marriage between Ruo'er and the Xu family can come true, with the help of the Xu family, the current predicament of the Wei family should be solved, right?

  ###

  Wei Yichen waited in the mansion for a long time, and finally waited until Wei Qingwan returned to the mansion.

  After sending the servant waiting at the gate to report, Wei Yichen hurried to the gate of Wangmei Garden and asked Cuihe to call Wei Qingwan to the gate of the courtyard.

   "Brother is so anxious to find me, what's the matter?" Wei Qingwan asked softly.
