The new book of the burning prairie star

After the organic compost was completed in the eastern suburbs of the city, he gave some instructions on composting to the head of Yanzhuang, and then went to the farm in the south of the city without stopping.

However, the head of the farm, Xu, did not respect him as much as the head of the farm, Yan. He was also careless in carrying out the tasks he was given yesterday. The farm in the south of the city had fewer fields and a much larger population than the farm in the eastern suburbs of the city, but not many materials were collected.

Yang Biao held back his anger and called all the people in the farm together. "Is there anyone among you who can keep accounts or read? If you can, please stand up."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Yang Biao was up to. No one stepped forward. After waiting for a long time, a young man in his twenties timidly stepped forward.

"What's your name? How old are you this year?" Yang Biao asked with a smile as he looked at the tall man in front of him.

When the others saw Yang Biao smiling, they thought that what they were doing must be a good thing, so five literate people stood up again.

"My name is Fugui, and I don't know how old I am this year." Hearing him say this, Yang Biao remembered that Boss Wang had mentioned Fugui to him before. He said that when he picked him up seventeen years ago, he was very young, could not speak clearly, had a pale face and thin body, and looked like a refugee who had fled to Wenchang County with his family. He also asked him to take good care of him in the future.

"Well, from now on, the six of you will be the small supervisors of this farm. Now let's collect animal feces, straw, fallen leaves, weeds and some garbage in your life without oil, such as leftover food, etc." Yang Biao said to Fugui and the other six people, "Divide the people into six groups and get to work quickly."

"Go and settle the farm's accounts so I can take a look at them," Yang Biao turned and said to Xu Zhuangtou who was standing next to him.

"Oh, okay." Since Xu Zhuangtou didn't have to collect animal feces himself and just did this easy task, he was naturally willing to do it, so he left quickly.

Yang Biao looked at Xu Zhuangtou's back and shook his head. When he got home, he would find the indentures of this man and his family and return them to the government. When Boss Wang showed him the farm's account books, he found that many of the accounts were particularly messy, which showed that there were problems with the farm's internal management. He had not thought of giving up Xu Zhuangtou at that time, but he had asked him to collect organic materials yesterday, but he had carried out the task so perfunctorily. He could not let this man stay with him any longer.

"Hey, what do you think our new guy is going to do with collecting these things?" A group of people gathered together, unable to figure out the purpose of Yang Biao's action.

"Who knows? We'll just do whatever the master tells us to do."

"You are a literate person, but you don't know why I asked us to do this."

"Oh, just because you can read you have to know everything. What kind of nonsense is that?" The man rolled his eyes. "Anyway, I don't know."

"I can't read, but I know how to farm. I heard that they wanted animal manure, and my master asked us to collect it, so it's for composting."

"Oh, so he wants to make compost." Everyone suddenly understood what he said. "But why is the stuff he needs to make compost different from ours?"

"Okay, stop chatting and get to work." Fugui urged everyone to work more efficiently.

There are many people on this farm, and Fugui and others organized the people on the farm to collect organic materials nearby, and they were quickly gathered. As usual, Yang Biao gave a demonstration and explanation. By the time they started to make ridges for composting, it was completely dark. The composting steps were quite simple, but the process was very time-consuming and tiring.

"I'll hold the torch for you so you can drive back to the county safely." Fugui held the torch and had two unlit spare torches in his hand to light the way for Yang Biao in front.

"Well, can you drive a cart?" Yang Biao did not refuse Fugui's kindness. He asked him to sit beside the cart with a torch in his hand. He would then find an inn for Fugui to stay for one night and then go to the farm after noon tomorrow.

next day

At 1:00 pm, Yang Biao found the indentures of Xu Zhuangtou's family and sent them to the county government office.

"Yang Biao, what's the matter?" He met Zhou Guangzheng who was on duty in the county government office. The latter looked at him in surprise. What business did this kid come to the county government office to handle?

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I have something to discuss with Mr. Su." Yang Biao also stopped and bowed to him.

"Master Su is working inside. Let me take you there." Zhou Guangzheng also bowed in return.

"Then I'll trouble you, Officer Zhou!" It never hurts to be polite.

"You are my uncle's student, and we are all family. I am just a few years older than you, so you can call me Brother Zheng from now on." Zhou Guangzheng was a generous man and did not like his uncle's students being polite to him.

"In that case, Yang Biao thanks Brother Zheng." He was straightforward and there was no need for him to be shy.

"Let's go!" Zhou Guangzheng put his arm on Yang Biao's shoulder and hugged him towards where Su Zhubu's office was.

"Master Su, this is the indenture of Xu Yue's family from the farm in the south of the city. This kid doesn't want him anymore." Yang Biao handed the indenture of the head family of Xu Zhuang to Master Su.

According to the laws of the Shang Dynasty, servants bought and sold by the government could not be sold or abused privately by their owners. Only if the servant made a mistake could his indenture be returned to the government, and the government could not deal with him privately.

"Oh, Wang Daxing's farm was taken over by you?" Su Zhubu was very surprised. When he first met this boy, the clothes he wore were still washed white. He didn't expect that only three months later, he had the money to buy the whole farm.

"Well, the transfer has not been processed yet, because I don't have that much money, and I still owe Boss Wang a lot of transfer money. Once it's all paid off, I'll ask Master Su to handle the paperwork." Yang Biao spoke the truth. It was clear from Master Su's face that he was not someone who could be easily fooled, and lying to him was not a wise move.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Su Zhubu nodded slightly. This was reasonable. How could a young farmer buy the farm in such a short time? It turned out that he bought it on arrears. The brain circuits of those businessmen were really strange. They allowed arrears when selling the farm. I guess Wang Daxing really valued Yang Biao. "What mistake did Xu Yue make?"

"The kid found out that the accounts he made were false, and he embezzled the money..." Yang Biao stepped forward and saluted in response, "He also bullied the kid because he was young, and ignored him when you told him to do something." If you don't send away someone you can't order around, are you going to keep him for the New Year?

"Well, such a slave is indeed unacceptable," Su Zhubu thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Zhou Guangzheng who was standing beside him, "Guangzheng, since Xu Yue is dishonest and betrayed his master, you take people to the farm and send this family to the iron mine and let them dig for ore."

"Yes, Master!" Zhou Guangzheng took the order and took his men to the farm in the south of the city.

"Thank you, Master Su," Yang Biao had finished the matter he had come to the county government to handle, and was ready to leave.

"Yang Biao, do you know about Zhao Si?" Su Zhubu mentioned Zhao Si without any warning, which made Yang Biao's heart skip a beat.
