The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Su He did not go on stage at this celebration banquet. Grandpa Wang Daming came up and summarized a few major events that had happened recently, including the birth of three new babies and Mu Tou passing the examination for the title of Tongsheng, and then encouraged everyone to keep working hard.

After saying that, Wang Daming simply announced that it was time to eat.

The kitchen suddenly became lively. Su He sat next to Liu Niang and told her about his discovery.

"This day, things are getting more and more wrong. Fortunately, it didn't affect the autumn harvest. We still recovered 50% of the grain. At least it's enough to pay the tax."

"Yes, the rice yield is too low. Fortunately, we have sweet potatoes."

Liu Niang ate the white rice in the bowl with great care. It was new rice, and only He Hua would be so willing to give it away.

Speaking of this, we have to mention this year's tax grain. This time the county government collected less, collecting 100 kilograms of new grain per acre of land.

It doesn't sound like much, but there are only about 200 kilograms of grain per acre. If you include the grain given to the tenants, there are only about 60 kilograms left per acre.

For example, Liu Niang bought a total of five acres of land to grow crops. Originally, Liu Bai was going to plant the crops, but later she asked the tenants for help. This time, only 330 kilograms of grain were left.

This is enough for Liu Niang to live on for half a year.

"Fortunately, every household has stored grain, enough to last until next summer's harvest. By the way, didn't the adults say they would send us old grain? Lotus, do you know when it will be sent?"

The Ma family and their friends didn't even eat their meal, but listened to Su He's talk with their ears perked up.

"I guess that the adults will distribute the old grain only after all the new grain has been collected. The people in the border village are also waiting to be distributed the old grain. We are so close, so we must be distributed together."

This time, the county government came to collect the sweet potatoes, but they no longer paid silver.

As a representative, Su He asked the county government for 5 jin of old grain, which was exchanged at a one-to-one ratio.

In addition, potatoes, peanuts and watermelons were also harvested in Hezhuang.

Watermelons are now officially on sale at tea stalls.

Su He collected all the potatoes, dried the moisture on the surface, and put them into the prepared fine sand. They would wait until the spring plowing time of the following year and then distribute them to the Wang family to plant together.

After keeping enough peanuts for next year's spring farming, Old Man Zhao dried the rest, put them into ceramic jars and sealed them. In order to preserve them for a longer time, Su He also added some dried chilies.

This is the Wang family’s last trump card.

So far, apart from the people who attended the meeting, the Zhao family who helped to deal with the matter knew a little bit. They signed a contract to sell themselves, and they also had a share of the grain. Su He believed that they would not tell others easily.

"No matter how difficult it is out there, I feel at ease because our Tianyuan Village is well prepared."

Wang Jingui was a little proud. In their village, the only option was to eat until they were very full.

"Uncle, let's keep a low profile in the future. The surrounding villages are not as lucky as us. If someone gets jealous, the two hundred people in our village will not be able to resist."

"That's true, but we can't keep a low profile, Lotus. Have you forgotten that we also have a chicken farm? We bought ten pairs of rabbits and made a lot of bacon. We won't have to worry about meat in the future. Everyone in the nearby villages knows about this."

Su He also knew this, so she left a backup plan in Hezhuang.

"Next year we are going to teach the villagers of Bianguan Village how to grow sweet potatoes. Uncle, tell everyone to teach them seriously so that Bianguan Village can be with us in the future."

Wang Jingui agreed readily.

"No problem. I'll arrange for Wang Laowu to lead the team. He is very familiar with Bianguan Village."

"Call Wang Laoliu too. The two brothers work well together."

"Why don't we just ask them to send ten people to learn from us? Once they have learned, let them go back and teach their own village."

Everyone was talking and making suggestions, and the dinner was very lively.

The next day, Su He had a good sleep, had a good lunch, and returned to the city with Liu Bai, Liu Niang and Mu Tou.

The next day after returning to the city, she went to report to the government office.

It happened that County Magistrate Ge was having a meeting with his legal advisor and others. When he saw Su He coming, he greeted her warmly.

"Lotus, are you feeling better? We are having a meeting to discuss the grain harvest. Come over and listen."

Su He smiled and bowed to everyone, then moved a stool and sat at the back, listening silently.

"Sir, if we collect more grain tomorrow, the granary won't be enough."

County Magistrate Ge thought about it and made arrangements for Chen Mi.

"Half of it will be sent to Bianguan Village, and Tianyuan Village will also have 5 catties. After these are sent, the empty space will be used to store new grain. When it is full, the old grain will be sold to the people at three cents per catty. Each household can buy catties. It is only sold to the poorest."

"Yes."

"There was a code of conduct exam before the New Year. One of the prizes was stale rice. The first place winner got 300 kilograms. The second to fifth place winners got 200 kilograms. The sixth to tenth place winners got 100 kilograms."

"That's good, sir. In addition to the rice, please give us some lard. It will ensure that everyone studies hard."

The master smiled and said, with these two, there is no need to worry about anyone doing poorly on the exam.

"Okay, the first place winner gets three pounds of pork fat. The second to tenth place winners get one pound."

Judge Zhao hesitated, "Boss, I wonder if Lord Chen would be unwilling. All of this will cost money. The cost is quite high."

County Magistrate Ge said with a smile, "It's okay. It was Ah Shi who suggested using old rice as a reward. I'll add some pork fat, and he has no objection. This year, everyone can have a good year."

County Magistrate Ge's words made everyone present very happy, and now everyone began to look forward to the New Year's gifts.

Su He was also happy. She didn't expect that Lord Chen would be so receptive to advice.

"Boss, when is the code of conduct exam before the New Year? I'll go and inform everyone."

"You should ask Lotus about this."

Well, ask Chen Da, or ask me?

Su He was a little confused. Seeing everyone looking at her and laughing, her brain suddenly froze. It was over. Her brain had not been used for a long time and had become rusty.

"Oh, by the way, Lotus, you don't know yet."

Su He felt relieved, it turned out that it was not her problem.

"Ashi is out on a mission again, and his return date is uncertain. Ashi specifically asked you to be the examiner. Lotus, you will be the one to test the rules again this time."

Su He was flattered. She was just thinking about whether she should demonstrate her own value again when this happened.

"My Lord, I will definitely prepare well. Then let's set the date for a month later?"

It just so happens that I have almost finished the rewards for the exam, and now I can continue to enjoy the gifts given out during the Chinese New Year.

"It's up to you to decide. By the way, those of us who have finished the exam first can help you, hehe."

Su He immediately responded, "The adults don't have to take the test. Lotus is still the same as before. She will be the examiner and the adults will listen to the test from behind."

Now everyone in the room smiled with satisfaction.

After the meeting, Su He went to see the three brothers of the Wang family.

They are in the duty room now.

"Sister Lotus."

Wang Zhi first saw Su He and hurried over to say hello. Most of the people in the room were from Wang Bin's original team. They were the ones who needed these prizes the most, so Su He told them the good news directly.

"Wenzhuo! We must be in the top ten."

"Yes, the lard is ours!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively, and some people were already planning to go home and start reading.

"Sister, is it Master Chen who is taking the test again this time?"

Wang Zhi asked tentatively.

"Master Chen is out on business. If he can't come, I will take the test."

Su He looked at his brother and smiled, "For people with ability, it doesn't matter who takes the exam."
