Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 485

  Half a year after Yang Heshu took office, he finally confronted the local grain merchants and squires.

   Unlike Master Bai, the grain shops in Luojiang County are basically run by local squires or big squires from the state capital.

  When Master Bai moved to Luojiang County, he saw that the grain shops in Luojiang County had been splashed with water, so he didn't follow along. At most, he bought two shops in Luojiang County and gave them to the subordinates to do some small business.

  The grain shop he opened in the Mianzhou area is not very big. There are a few small shops that can’t even digest his own grain.

  However, Master Bai doesn’t like selling grain to grain merchants in Luojiang County. He has special partners, and Wu grain merchants are just one of them.

  But the grain merchants in Luojiang County are different from the squires. Yang Heshu's move is simply taking food from their mouths. It is strange that they can be happy.

  So as soon as the hut next to the county government opened, the squires and grain merchants in Luojiang County became quiet.

  But that was the county government. The methods they used to deal with competitors in the past could not be used.

  But they are not helpless.

  Who doesn’t have a backing behind.

  Even if their backer might not be as big as Yang Heshu, he can still do it by impeachment.

   After all, Yang Heshu is just a county magistrate, isn’t it?

After    and other grain merchants searched for various relationships, and finally succeeded in impeaching Yang Heshu, Yang and the calligrapher and the officials' inquiries about the official documents came to their feet.

While reading the letter, he silently said to Wan Tian: "Do you think they are stupid? Give them two or three pennies more, or sell four or five pennies less. Not only do they benefit the people, but they also make money. They have to throw away hundreds of two to several thousand taels in order to impeach me up."

  Yang He Shu chittered, and said, “They don’t know, as long as I argued the last time, this matter will probably be gone? All their money is spent.”

  Manda stood silently.

  Yang Heshu didn’t want him to answer. After reading the letter, he threw it aside. He walked with his hands on his back for a while and asked, “How much food do we collect?”

   "It's quite a lot."

  Yang Heshu nodded, "Let them continue to sell, continue to limit, hum, we don't care about them, let people prepare horses, let's go to the countryside to have a look."

  As soon as he left the house, he just ran into Master Zhang who had just wandered into the Yamen from outside.

  Yang Heshu immediately beckoned and asked him, "Are all the taxes and grains collected?"

   "Yes, it has been placed in the grain depot according to the instructions of the adults, and the rest is stored in the warehouse in the Yazhong." Master Zhang paused and asked: "My lord, when will the tax and grain handed in be transported?"

  Yang He said: "This matter is not in a hurry. I will talk about it when I come back from the country."

   "My lord is going down the mountain?"

"Yes, I'm just about to tell you. I found that few people in the county grow mulberry and raise silkworms. Unfortunately, I came a little later this year and I have missed a year. I plan to let everyone try planting mulberry trees next year. "

  Zhang’s main book: "...sir, the villagers are vulgar, I'm afraid they don’t know how to grow mulberries and raise silkworms."

  "What's the problem?" Yang Heshu waved his hand: "If they can grow grain and wheat, they should be able to grow mulberry."

   "But the silkworms are delicate, I'm afraid everyone will not be able to feed them."

"Don't be afraid, it will take a year or two for the mulberry tree to grow up," Yang Heshu was very confident of the people under his control, and smiled: "At that time, I will invite some women who are good at raising silkworms from other places to teach, so that everyone will be serious. Take a lesson."

Master Zhang didn't expect Yang Heshu to even think of this. Obviously he planned it long ago, so he couldn't help but said: "But my lord, let alone the mulberry tree, the silkworms are precious, I'm afraid that no villagers will be willing to pay for it. "

  Yang Heshu nodded, “I’ve already thought of it, so I will choose some people to send some silkworm eggs. As long as they make money, I think many people will be willing to pay for it in the next year.”

  Yang and Shu wanted to send them all, but his father had just warned him, so he could only take a step back.

  Zhang’s master book: …The county's grandfather is too rich and rich is also a trouble.

  The troubled Master Book of Zhang watched Yang Heshu strode away.

  Yang Heshu started, and left with a servant and Wan Tian.

  Wantian and Ya Ya both carried their baggage on their backs. Obviously, they did not plan to return to the county seat in the past few days. Master Zhang looked sadly at their disappearing backs.

  There are no robbers in Luojiang County, and homicides may not happen in three to five years. Most of them are thefts, neighbourhood conflicts, or village-to-village violent cases.

  Most of these cases are directly handed over to the county lieutenant, and the county grandfather is required to go to court for judgment. There are no fewer than a few cases in a ten-day period, so Yang Heshu can be very willful.

  The main reason is that Yang Heshu's processing speed of official documents is also very fast, which is completely different from the previous Fuxian orders.

  Now everyone in each village already knows that Yang Heshu is their county grandfather. They saw him riding into the village from a long distance, and the children ran to notify the village chief.

  Yang Heshu and the village chief and the old people in the village found an open space to sit down and chat.

  In addition to persuading everyone to plant mulberry and silkworms, he also persuaded everyone to plant winter wheat.

"I think the winter wheat harvested this spring is good. Many people have survived the most difficult period because of this season's wheat. And I asked, the yield is ok." Yang He said: "Whether it is the output of winter wheat or the later planting The rice that goes down is okay."

  An old man said: "Yes, yes, I'm afraid that if we plant again this season, the soil will be weak."

  Yang Heshu immediately said: "I think there is a good way to fatten up in Qili Village. It's better to learn it."

  Yang Heshu was concerned when Man Bao talked about the power of the soil. He knew that there was a way to fatten up in his village, which was better than the outsiders, so he wrote it down.

  When Yang Heshu wandered around outside to Qili Village, it was already a few days later.

  Although Yang Heshu is willing to endure hardships, he doesn't particularly embarrass himself. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Qili Village, he visited the Shangbai family with a smile.

  Taking a shower at the Bai's house and eating dinner, Yang Heshu sat in the pavilion of the Bai's house refreshedly, and talked with Master Bai comfortably with a bowl of tea.

   "Where are Bai Shan and the others?"

  Master Bai smiled and said: "They are going to school, and when they are off, I will let the servants take them to visit the adults."

  Yang Heshu nodded and asked with a smile, “Master Bai still wants to grow winter wheat this year?”

  Master Bai raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Some plans."

  He wants to try the new wheat seed. After all, the two seasons of this year have not caught up. He wants to try, whether the wheat he grows is as good as the three children's.

  Yang Heshu is pleasantly surprised, "Can someone grow winter wheat in that village?"

  Master Bai thought for a while and then said: "Occasionally, I heard that someone in the family mentioned it, but a few households also decided to plant it."
