Chapter 3200 do something

Back at Zhou's house, it was getting dark. Zhou Lizhong was surrounded by Zhou's family talking about the big court meeting. When he saw Zhou Man coming back, he immediately surrounded him, "Are you tired, go wash up and rest?"

"Would you like to eat first? I listened to Lizhong, you guys are having a meeting all day."

Zhou Man waved his hand to indicate that it was all right. He first went back to the house and changed into civilian clothes, and then went to see Mrs. Liu and told her about selling Longzhou's new grain to the Ministry of Household.

Mrs. Liu is not obsessed with money. If she can exchange money for a career, it will be a good deal for her.

So she just asked, "Can't we leave a single seed?"

"No, we can keep our own rice seeds," Zhou Man said, "Choose more seeds when selecting seeds, grandmother, I have divided some fiefs in Liyang. Well, I also benefit, so I plan to plant some grains in the spring equinox next year."

Madam Liu understood and asked, "What are you going to do over there?"

She said, "Before you were the township and county lord, the fief was not very large, and you could hand over the full authority to the county government, but now that your fief has expanded so much, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to hand it all over to the county government."

If the county government cannot receive financial resources on the fief, it may not pay much attention. At that time, it will not only lose Zhou Man, but also the people in the fief, and the reputation of Zhou Man will not be very good.

Zhou Man thought for a while and then said: "My brothers and sisters are not suitable for dealing with the county government. Lijun is already very busy, so I can't bother her with anything. Grandma thinks Bai's side is suitable. people?"

Mrs. Liu raised her mouth slightly and said to her, "If you are at ease, leave this matter to me, and I will choose someone for you."

Zhou Man smiled and said, "Of course I believe in my grandmother, then I will leave it all to my grandmother."

There is no one more suitable than Mrs. Liu.

Zhou Man got up, "I'll go and tell my parents that I have to leave enough seeds in my family, and the rest will be sold to the household."

She paused and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, I only sold food from my mother's family and our family, where my cousin..."

Madam Liu raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "I will write to him."

Zhou Man left happily.

The grains in Master Bai's hands should be hoarded, as well as those in Lijun's hands.

With Xuexiong Yang, these grains are planted in the hands of the Ministry of Households, and they must be distributed equally to the states. Some well-informed wealthy people will definitely find a way to buy them from other places. A batch of rice seeds comes in handy.

Zhou's family has no opinion on Zhou Man's sale of grain to the Ministry of Households. It's great that so much grain is still at a regular price.

Except for Zhou Lijun and Thursday Lang, no one in the Zhou family could think of the price of new wheat seeds that year.

When everyone dispersed, Zhou Man asked Zhou Lizhong to go to the study together to discuss matters, Zhou Lijun and Thursday Lang were already there.

Zhou Lizhong glanced outside, "Little aunt, why did you only call us?"

Zhou Mandao: "The four of us are enough, there are too many people."

She turned her head to look at Zhou Lijun, "How is the harvest of Zhuangzi over at Xiang's house?"

"The yield is not lower than that in the village."

Zhou Man nodded and said to her, "Brother Yang has always been fair and considerate, he will definitely issue a decree to crack down on fake new rice seeds and the price of new rice seeds. Minute."

Zhou Lijun responded, "Don't worry, little aunt, I know."

Zhou Man nodded, and then said to Thursday Lang: "The new rice seeds can't go out of customs. The Jiangnan area has not been tested, and it can't flow there. If you want to sell it, you can only sell it in the Central Plains area."

Thursday Lang, "Can they still block the path to Jiangnan?"

"There is no need to block it, but it can't flow in a lot, so that the new rice seeds will not adapt to the disaster situation in the south of the Yangtze River. If someone wants to try planting, we will not stop them," Zhou Man said: "Sinong Temple will choose experimental fields in various places later. , to try out a new rice seed, and wait until next fall to know if Jiangnan is suitable for this new rice seed, I don't want you to go through this muddy water."

Thuro touched his nose, "Okay."

Zhou Man reached out and patted Zhou Lizhong's shoulder and said, "Tomorrow I will take you to report to Sinong Temple. Your Majesty will designate you as the Chancellor of Sinong Temple. I'm afraid you will not be used to it."

She said: "The habits in the officialdom are that I have been in the court for many years and I am not used to it, so you don't need to be too accommodating to them. Although we entered the court as officials, it is not for a great future. Look closer. , this is just a job for us to live in, so what we were in Zhuangzi before is what we are now."

She said: "I can't stay in the capital for a long time. I will go back to Qingzhou after the new rice seeds and the medical office are confirmed. If you have any doubts, you can ask Mr. Zhuang for advice."

Zhou Li nodded.

Thursday Lang asked her, "When are you going to Qingzhou?"

Zhou Man shook his head, "I don't know, just look at the speed of the DPRK and China's discussions."

She and the Imperial Physician's Office have been operating for more than half a year, but they still haven't been able to confirm the reform of the Medical Department. Although they have obtained the emperor's consent this time, who knows how slow the officials in the court are?

After discussing things, Zhou Man asked them to leave. She sat in the chair and thought for a moment, then took out the letter paper to write to Bai Shan.

After seeing the words, I complained of grievance. Your Majesty came forward. I sold all our new rice seeds to the household at the regular price of grain. Previously, we thought that we would use it to make a lot of money like the new wheat seeds of the year. If things don't come to pass, there should be an official letter from you soon...

In Beihai County, the new rice seeds were basically used by Bai Shan on the official fields.

From the official farm, except for his share of the job farm, all the rest of the harvest belonged to the county government.

If the imperial court wanted to force the levy, it would not even have to pay for it.

Zhou Man wrote a letter to prepare Bai Shan psychologically.

After Zhou Man finished writing the envelope, even late at night, she stretched and closed the envelope before going back to the house to sleep. She decided to sleep in tomorrow!

As a recalled official, she didn't have to go to the yamen, and she didn't even ask the Chongwen Museum.

So when Zhou Manyi woke up at dawn, if she hadn't been woken up by the cake, she could have slept until noon.

She barely opened her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ma'am, someone has come from the palace and said that you are going to the court."

Zhou Man pulled Bo to the top of his head, turned over and rolled the quilt around him, and said in a muffled voice, "You were deceived. You just attended the big court meeting yesterday, how could you still be there today?"

"It's not a big court meeting, it's a small court meeting, lady, get up quickly, the servants are still waiting outside."

Zhou Man lifted the quilt and sat up, confused, "Xiaochao meeting? I don't need to go to Xiaochao meeting."

Having said that, she got up in a hurry, washed her face and put on her official uniform in a hurry, put on her boots and ran out, "Madam, the old lady has prepared food for you, you can bring it with you."
