Chapter 732 Killing with a Borrowed Knife II

Zhou Dalang and the others also lived in the small courtyard newly rented by Zhou Zhoulang. At night, the brothers gathered together in one room to count the money, while Man Bao and Zhou Lijun sat aside to check the accounts, and by the way, they calculated everyone's wages, and let them Go home and send money to people.

The brothers put all the silver ingots in the bag, Zhou Dalang put the bag in the middle of the bed, and decided to sleep with the silver in his arms at night.

Tuesday Lang and Thursday Lang discussed, "Brother and Third Brother have visited all the nearby villages. The good wheat is basically reserved by our family as wheat seeds. If we go this further, we will probably lose it. If we want to buy again , then I can only find Master Bai."

Zhou Zhoulang pondered and said: "One more trip, the goods for the county government are almost the same, and the rest of our brothers can just pull it out slowly. At that time, we will slowly find out, and the business of some villages outside Yizhou City will also be gone. can keep doing it.”

"That's what I mean too," Zhou Dalang put away the money, turned around and said, "But don't overdo the business, our price is low, and it's not certain whether Master Bai is willing to sell our wheat seeds at such a low price."

Zhou Zhoulang sighed, "Master Bai used to buy wheat seeds from us, but now the feng shui has changed, and it's time for us to ask for help."

Man Bao finished the accounts and asked Zhou Lijun to copy them. Hearing this, he said, "That means our business has grown."

"It's no good to be big, it's very troublesome," Zhou Zhoulang said: "I still like small business, free and easy, and basically no one bullies you when no one is paying attention, but I'm afraid it won't work this time."

Man Bao looked at Datou and Ertou, and said with regret: "It's a pity that you two brothers can't study well, otherwise you can be our family's backer in the future."

"Don't even think about it," Zhou Zhoulang disliked so much, "If you count on the two of them, it's better to count on the five and six."

It hasn't been long since those two have been talking, so what kind of cleverness can you see?

Man Bao was speechless for a while, and asked: "How is the study of the third and fourth heads?"

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Zhoulang sighed together.

When Man Bao heard it, yes, there is no need to listen anymore.

She could only reach out to pat Zhou Lang and Wu Lang on the shoulders, "Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, it's up to you in the future, well, Fifth Brother should also work hard."

Five-headed father Zhou Zhoulang: ...

Zhou Dalang looked at Man Bao's head and said, "The cleverness of our old Zhou family is all grown in your head."

Zhou Zhoulang couldn't help muttering in his heart: That's because his parents were born well, and their mother is also smart, so the problem still lies with his father.

Obviously, there are quite a few brothers who think the same as Zhou Zhoulang, and they all looked at Man Bao's little head and sighed faintly.

In the final analysis, grandma and grandpa were eccentric and gave all the good brains to my uncle.

Man Bao: ...

After receiving the first sum of money, the brothers of the Zhou family decided to do it boldly, especially after seeing the income calculated by Man Bao and Zhou Lijun.

They are even more attentive. For the sake of long-term cooperation in the future, the brothers can't wait to check every grain of wheat.

After three days of hair loss, old Zhou Tou saw the money they brought back and heard about the magistrate Tang's generosity. He immediately cheered up, slept soundly at night, and his hair did not fall out.

He woke up laughing several times in the dream, and he quietly said to Qian: "County magistrates like Yang County Magistrate and Tang County Magistrate are good people. Think about those county magistrates in the past. They are doing business. If this is done, wouldn’t it mean that the meat bun beats the dog and never returns?”

"Speak softly."

Old Zhou Tou: "I'll tell you too."

The Zhou family brothers made a big move this time, even County Magistrate Yang was alarmed, but he just watched in silence for a while.

Recently, a lot of refugees suddenly came to their county. He went down to visit and vaguely knew that he had been cheated.

But people are brought to the front, so there is no reason to push people out, right?

So he arranged for Lao Ding to serve in the military service, build water conservancy, open up wasteland and allocate land for the refugees, build houses to keep out the cold, distribute relief food, and include people in the Luojiang County household registration book.

Sure enough, not long after, Magistrate Yang was impeached again.

Someone ginsenged him to grab others' credit, and this time it was not the county magistrates of several nearby counties who impeached him, but the censor in the capital.

There are two more notebooks on the desk of County Magistrate Yang, and he has to write defenses.

County magistrate Yang sighed, although he was not afraid of being ginseng, but always being ginseng would have a bad influence on him, for example, it would leave a bad impression on the seniors in the court who were very happy.

But who knows his injustice, this time it was really not him who robbed people, but someone sent them to him, if he didn't settle, he felt that he would be very sorry for himself.

When the refugees are resettled, they need grain seeds. County magistrate Yang reduced the wheat seeds offered to the capital by a third. Hmph, don't you like to participate in him?

Then participate and see who suffers.

Now, the fact that there are good breeds in Luojiang County has passed the Ming Road, and the court has rewarded County Magistrate Yang, but it has not had time to reward him for his meritorious deeds.

Now that they have passed Ming Road, some good wheat seeds need to be provided to the royal family's manor and the imperial court's Si Nong Temple.

So this year's autumn harvest was not over yet, the official documents from the court arrived, and the palace even sent a servant over to communicate.

Of course, he is not only here for the Royal Manor, but also this princess, that imperial concubine, and that prince, their Zhuangzi are in short supply of such good seeds...

County magistrate Yang is not free, but there are always people who want to get it for free, so he has been in a bad mood recently.

As soon as he was in a bad mood, he wanted to make others feel bad too.

That's why the Zhou family brother's second batch of grain seeds had just been shipped out. He whispered to the servant who was still living in the county, saying that at least half of the good seeds in the county had been taken away by Yizhou City.

Now even if he wanted to give them good seeds, he couldn't do it, so he could only supply them to the emperor and Sinong Temple first.

The servant was shocked, but looking at Yang Heshu who was respectful but calm, he didn't dare to say anything presumptuous.

This is not an ordinary county magistrate, but he can't get angry.

He could only hold his breath and set off to return to Beijing. Of course, before returning to Beijing, he flew back to the capital with a letter.

The Zhou family brothers happily handed over the second batch of wheat seeds to Tang county magistrate, brought back two bags of silver from him, paid all the wages, and returned the carriages and horses, and everyone went back happily together. home.

After two trips, the savings of the Zhou family doubled, and the old Zhou was so happy that he almost rolled on the pile of silver.

The reason for saying it was almost, because they had only counted the money on the front foot, and Qian was about to distribute the money to his sons on the back foot.

Of course it's not all divided, but half of it has to be divided, including the big ones and two girls who participated this time can get a share of the money, so there is still a lot to share.

As usual, old Zhou Tou felt distressed, and then distributed two extra silver ingots of Man Bao for selfishness, and then announced: "Man Bao is not at home, I will take her share for her first."

The next update will be around 9pm
