Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 381 Choking

  Man Bao rolled his noodles and ate them with some dishes, only occasionally raising his head to look in the direction of Master Bai and the others.

  Master Bai and the others did not let the three children eat in front of them, but sent them back to the house. They drank and ate under the peach trees in the yard, and chatted by the way.

  Yang Heshu only knew that there was a Bai family in Qili Village, but didn't know when there was another Bai family, so he asked curiously.

Master Bai laughed and said: "My cousin Bai Qi once served as county magistrate under Yizhou, but died young, leaving behind my aunt and a pair of orphans and widows. Because I have a deep relationship with my cousin, my aunt took A family came here to live, but the household registration is still in Longzhou, this right should be their family's other courtyard."

  Yang Heshu understands right away that this must be ostracized in the clan, maybe it involves a dispute over property, so he hid here.

  So he smiled and said, “It’s a good way to live closer together or take care of each other.”

  Yang Heshu and Mr. Bai Laoyezhuang have a very good chat. After being in Luojiang County for so many days, there are not many people who can talk to him, let alone those who have met in the countryside these past two days.

   is the local Lizheng. Except for some agricultural questions, they can't handle other topics.

  When Yang Heshujiu came out of Bai’s house full of food, the three of them had already laughed at Yan Yan, as if they were confidants.

His entourage stepped out of the white house first, and as soon as he waved his hand, a carriage abducted from the side. Master Bai was surprised: "I don’t know if the magistrate Yang also brought the car, I also asked the family to give it to the magistrate Yang. I have prepared a carriage, it seems to be out of use."

  Yang Heshu complacently smiled and said, “This car is walking behind. Since it’s visiting the village, it’s not easy to be too public.”

  Man Bao standing at the back couldn’t help but think, since it’s not easy to show up, shouldn’t it be riding a donkey or riding a bullock cart directly?

  Who can afford a horse?

  Man Bao looked at Yang Heshu’s horse with envy. When can she include a horse for Keke?

  Master Bai thought so too, but he was relieved when he saw the face of the county magistrate Yang. He was a fledgling boy at first glance, and he was definitely not so considerate.

Yang Heshu did not forget the three children, especially Man Bao and Bai Shanbao. He still liked and admired these two children, so he invited them and said: "If the three little friends go to the county town, I invite you to come to my mansion as a guest. To thank you for your hospitality today."

  Man Bao said that there was no problem, and quietly said to Bai Shanbao, “Although I often go to the backyard of the county government, I have never entered the side entrance a hundred steps.”

  Bai Shan Baodao: "I don't even have one."

   "Next time we go to have a look, Sister Fu said the garden inside is very beautiful."

  Bai Shanbao expressed suspicion, "Better-looking than mys?"

  Man Bao hesitated and said: "It should be, after all, your house has only been built for more than two years, but it has been a long, long time since the county government was built."

  Yang Heshu saw that the two children started to whisper to themselves after paying attention to him, and couldn't help but smile stiffly. Forget it, it's still a child. He cares about it, but can't care about it.

  It wasn't until Yang He got on the carriage that the two children reacted. Hey, the distinguished guest is leaving.

So the two of them and Bai Erlang waved goodbye to him, and Man Bao also told him: "Major Yang, you must remember to credit the cow. If the regulations are set, they will be notified. I must be the first. I went to town to support you."

  Yang He Shuzo smiled and said, "Okay, I will notify you."

  Man Bao waved his hand particularly graciously, and did not let go until the carriage crossed the river.

Mr. Bai went to see Manbao curiously, Mr. Zhuang directly asked: “I also heard from the county magistrate that you want to credit a cow with the county government, but why don’t you directly credit the cow, but the silver first, and then How about crediting cows?"

  Man Bao opened her mouth to say, Keke coughed in her mind, and Man Bao covered her mouth and said: "I can't tell you now. If you know too many people, you will leak secrets."

  Mr. Zhuang smiled and said: "Okay, don't tell, we will know when you bring the cow back."

  Manbao thinks it will take a long time, after all, it takes time to adjust the cow?

  As a result, they had just finished planting the wheat here, and they paid all their wages to the day laborers. After a night of cold wind, Lizheng came to inform them.

"The county government bought a batch of cows back, thinking that the big guys are difficult to farm, so the new county grandfather decided that all the poor households can go to the county government to come back on credit for a cow, which can be as short as six months. Then, within three years, the money and interest for buying cattle will be paid off."

  Man Bao stood not far from his father’s feet, and Lao Zhou listened to it once and felt that it was not related to him, so he took out the pipe from his waist and twisted some shredded tobacco into the pipe to smoke.

  Someone asked, "How is this home of the poor?"

   "It's very simple. There is no cattle in the family. In addition to houses, there are only Yongyetian in Hengchan. Those who have not bought any land are counted."

   Yes, most people in Qili Village are in line with it.

  What will the farmer’s house do with extra money?

   Marry a wife, but this is a big plan for reproduction and one of the basic needs for survival. Of course, it cannot be considered rich.

  So what do you do if you have a wife and have money?

  Raise children.

  Well, this is also a big strategy for reproduction, and it can’t be considered rich either.

  If you raise your child and have more money, each family has its own plans, but there are only three categories left. One is to buy cattle; the other is to buy fertile land; and the third is to buy a store.

  This is the experience of Yang Heshu in the previous twenty years, plus the conditions set down after the understanding of this period of time.

  Don't say it, many people in the village are moved.

  A cow can at least be enough for two strong labors at home, so some people raised their hands to sign up, but some people asked loudly: "Lizheng, how does that interest count?"

   "One tael of silver and twelve articles in one month."

  As soon as he said this, the person who raised his hand immediately retracted his hand, and then whispered to the people around him, "One or two in a month will cost twelve wen, then how many taels does it cost to buy a cow?"

He stood not far away from Lizheng, and his ears were quite good. When he heard it, he coughed softly: "A cow, depending on its size and strength, it's between three and two hundred words to five and two. You just take the middle stats in fours and twos."

   "Then, it's long there, how much interest does it cost four or two a month?"

  Li Chang stretched out his hand to calculate with his fingers. The villagers waited eagerly. The soldiers didn’t think Li was too slow, because most of them couldn’t count.

  Lao Zhou took a cigarette and then lowered his head and asked Man Bao, "How much does it cost?"

   "Forty-eight essays."

   Lao Zhou’s head just smashed his mouth and said: "Forty-eight essays, forty-eight in a month, how much will it cost in half a year? And it may not be possible to pay it back in half a year. How much will it cost to pay it back in three years?"

  Man Bao thought for a while, pondered for a while before he said: "I want one thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight essays."

  Lao Zhou's head was choked by smoke.
