A village chief who does not want to be a village chief is not a good villager

Jian Ping's family also purchased potatoes and sweet potatoes while looking at the purchase of grain.And it is based on the market price, plus a penny.

Jian Ping held a special village meeting, emphatically speaking, he only accepts things from the villagers, and forgets the things from people from other villages.After all, he bought it at a price higher than the market price. If the scope is too large, it may cause dissatisfaction among those businessmen.

Of course, at the meeting, Jian Ping also skillfully gave everyone a feeling that 'although Jian Ping can't do that, but if they do that, there will be no problem at all'.

After all, Jian Ping didn't say anything about interests from the beginning to the end, he just said that he felt embarrassed.

As for the matter of 'I'm sorry', in the minds of other people in Jian's Village, I'm afraid it's less than one ten-thousandth of Jian Ping's.People who are about to starve to death, who wants to worry about whether those big landlords and big merchants have good food?

In five days, almost all the surplus food in Jianjia Village was received by Jian Ping.After all, the people in Jian's Village could tell that Jian Ping was not in a hurry, so they dried the grain until it was almost dry and then sold it at a relatively high price.

Zhou Lin emptied the cellar that night, which was considered a great favor to Jian Ping.After all, there is still food in the next feed pile, and there is no serious storage place yet.If it's just placed in Jian's house, I'm afraid Jian's house won't even be able to stand in the yard.

On the seventh day, when Jian Ping bought another three thousand catties of grain, the person he had been waiting for for a long time finally arrived.

"District chief? Why are you here?" Jian Ping estimated the time, so he stayed at Jian Dazhu's house for the past few days.

So when the village head Zhang Hongmin was led by the villagers, he naturally found Jian Dazhu's house.

Seeing someone, Jian Ping quickly stood up.Putting down the things in his hands, he rushed to the door a few steps faster, and helped him up.

Zhang Hongmin looked at Jian Ping with a smile, especially when he saw the yard full of grain, he smiled more happily. People in their 60s have dealt with the land all their lives. At a glance, they can find that the quality of these grains is much better than theirs.

Seeing this, Zhang Hongmin felt a little more satisfied.

"This time, the old man has a request for you. How can you still come?" Zhang Hongmin didn't come alone, but was followed by two old men and three young men.

Seeing Jian Ping looking suspiciously at those who followed, Zhang Hongmin also had a keen eye and readily helped to introduce.

"These two are the elders of our Zhang family. Since they both have the surname Zhang, they are ranked according to their grades. Just follow Xiaojun and call him Grandpa."

Xiaojun is Zhang Hongmin's grandson, about the same age as Jian Ping, and he is standing at the door looking at Jian Ping with a silly smile on his face.

Zhang Hongmin is definitely not bullying others, after all, the elders of the two clans are older than him, so it is not too much for a child of Jian Ping's age to call him grandpa.Even if it's just a stranger, the polite address is the same.

What's more, Jian Ping counted on these two to help him a lot.

So Jian Ping bowed to the two elders of the Zhang family very calmly, and then called grandpa twice sincerely.

And the two elders of the Zhang family also had a smile on their faces, looking at Jian Ping as if they were looking at their favorite grandson.

At least on the surface, there is a harmonious atmosphere.

Jian Ping led people to the living room transformed from the main house, and let a group of people sit down.Tian Wen also sent a pot of tea, and then went back to do his own things.

Because of Jian Ping's arrival these two days, Jian Dazhu and Yang Shuxian's couple felt relieved to start their own small business.Because Tian Wen wanted to help here, the old couple brought the prepared tea eggs to Jian Ping's house and sold them at the entrance of the flower shop.

In this way, I can also help to look at the business of the flower shop by the way.

"Li Zhang, are you here this time?"

After everyone was seated, the tea was served.Jian Ping didn't make the other party wait too long, so he followed the other party's meaning and asked.

There was a little embarrassment on Zhang Hongmin's face, but he still said it directly. "That's right. I came here this time to talk to Village Chief Jian about changing species."

Since the discussion is considered official business, it is better to use the official title.Zhang Hongmin looked at Jian Ping very sincerely, it was really embarrassing and ashamed for him to do this kind of begging for help.

But just thinking about the fact that the income of the seeds in Jianjia Village basically doubled in a year, Zhang Hongmin's last bit of embarrassment disappeared.

Although Zhang Hongmin takes the Zhang family clan as the number one in most cases, he is generally regarded as a competent district chief.Otherwise, for so many years, it is not possible to secure this position by virtue of relationships.

"Village Chief Jian, don't worry, we won't let you suffer. Three catties for one catty of grain seeds, what do you think?"

"Here you are, chief!" Jian Ping, who was still a little hesitant, looked up at the other party in disbelief as if shocked by the words of the chief.

In fact, Zhang Hongmin's business is not a loss. According to calculations, even if each household has ten mu of land, one mu of land only needs four catties of seeds.Therefore, exchanging 120 catties of grain for thousands of catties of income every year is definitely a sure thing.

After all, the amount of grain produced by these high-quality seeds in Jianjia Village has been reported to the county government.Zhang Hongmin didn't know why the county magistrate didn't confiscate the seeds from Jian's Village this time, but it was convenient for him.

And Zhang Hongmin also knew that if he didn't go faster, these seeds might not have anything to do with him in a long time.

After all, there really is no shortage of well-informed people these days.

So far, there has been no trouble because most of the people in the outer village are relatives of the people of Jian's village, and those relatives have already exchanged enough grain seeds from their relatives in the first time of this year's autumn harvest.

Jian Ping stood up excitedly, then frowned in embarrassment.Finally, under the nervous gaze of Zhang Hongmin and others, they shook their heads lightly.

When Zhang Hongmin and the others felt a thump in their hearts, thinking that things were going to get worse, they smiled and opened their mouths. "Grandpa, Li Chang, don't bury me. I'm too narrow-minded. Let's go with last year's rule of one and a half catties of grain for one catty of seeds, but..."

"But what?" Because of Jian Ping's actions and words, his mood fluctuated violently.Just when I thought things were going to be settled like this, there was another sentence.

The elder of the Dazhang clan couldn't hold back, and asked nervously.

Jian Ping smiled embarrassedly at the other party, and said the following words. "However, I can't exchange it for you indefinitely. I can only exchange it for you with a thousand catties of seeds at most."

Zhang Hongmin and the two elders of the Zhang surname breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and looked at Jian Ping with a little more kindness.

"I know this, and I will send you the records of the farmland in each village later." Zhang Hongmin is an old man after all, and instantly understood the hesitation in Jian Ping's words just now.

They came here first because they got the news first, but those who haven't come here don't mean they will never get the news.In order not to look ugly, Jian Ping at least asked each village to exchange a little.

And Zhang Hongmin is a good person to the end, and directly sent a copy of the farmland records of each village to Jian Ping.

Jian Ping was really surprised this time. He looked at Zhang Hongmin in disbelief, as if he didn't know what to say because he was too excited.

"Okay, it's decided. The old men will go back first, and the food to be changed will be delivered in the afternoon. I hope Village Chief Jian will make preparations in advance."

Zhang Hongmin stood up, stroked his beard with a smile and patted Jian Ping's shoulder.Jian Ping knows how to behave, and Zhang Hongmin doesn't mind helping the other party.

Now Zhang Hongmin could see that Jian Ping was ambitious.Otherwise, how could he get a miscellaneous official without saying a word, you must know that this position is a dream that he has longed for all his life but never realized.

It was also because of Jian Ping's assessment of the affairs of the miscellaneous officials that Zhang Hongmin came to his senses. I am afraid that Jian Ping's next goal is to be the chief of the village.

If it was before, Zhang Hongmin might still feel angry.But now, Zhang Hongmin won't.Not only because of his admiration after seeing Jian Ping's achievements, but also because Zhang Hongmin could see that Jian Ping was a man of scheming, courage and ability.

Even if he insisted on supporting a Zhang family and confronting Jian Ping head-on, I'm afraid he would be defeated in the end.

Besides, Zhang Hongmin himself is already in his sixties this year, and he is too old to work.And among his juniors, the only one who can be regarded as promising is Xiaojun.

But Xiaojun didn't have any intention of becoming a master at all, he only thought about how to take good care of his acre and a half of land.So Zhang Hongmin was really helpless, and after being helpless, he didn't want to offend this person who was not easy to offend for others.

Zhang Hongmin boldly prepared to leave, but the two clan elders behind him glanced at the yard, and asked seemingly inadvertently. "Looking at the movement of Village Chief Jian, the things you want to collect are not good?"

Zhang Hongmin looked at the elder of the Dazhang clan suspiciously, and when he saw that there was no malice in the other party's eyes, he didn't care about the other party's affairs.The Zhang family clan in Taohua Town is an existence unimaginable by the people of Jianjia Village, and everyone agrees to disclose it when interests are involved.

But when competing for interests, everyone is an opponent.

Jian Ping chuckled, and looked at most of the things piled up in the yard.After the food is confirmed to be received, it will be packed in sacks and placed on the west side.

But things like potatoes and sweet potatoes cannot be packed immediately.

Jian Ping did not deny it, and admitted it frankly. "Recently, I came up with a snack food that needs some potatoes and sweet potatoes, so I just collected them together this time."

"Oh?" The big Zhang clan's old eyes rolled, and the smile on his face became more kind. "I don't know how much Village Chief Jian needs. To tell you the truth, there are still some potatoes and sweet potatoes at home. If Village Chief Jian needs it, he can send them together."

Zhang Hongmin frowned quickly, but he didn't say much in the end.This kind of matter can be regarded as a matter between Jian Ping and the elders of the Dazhang clan. He, an 'outsider' at this time, is indeed not suitable for interjection.

Jian Ping was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then turned his head to look at the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the corner. "Actually, to tell you the elders of the clan, my demand is really a bit big. It's just a sudden whim after all, so it's not easy to do too much."

What he said obviously meant that he didn't want to compete with the merchants in the town for profit.However, these are no problems for the elders of the Dazhang clan and others.

"Looking at what Village Chief Jian said, the purchase was also voluntary, and you didn't put a knife on anyone's neck to force anyone, so as long as it is sold to you voluntarily, it is your ability, everyone believes you Therefore, you really don’t need to care about those things. How about this, since Village Chief Jian still needs a little more, I’ll help you promote the publicity later, and I’ll give you news in the afternoon.”

The elder of the Dazhang clan looked as if the matter was settled, waved his hand and walked towards the person who was already leading at the door.After Jian Ping was stunned for a moment, he could only smile wryly.

However, it is not easy to refute what the elders of the Dazhang clan said.

From beginning to end, Zhang Hongmin also looked down on the big Zhang family elders who were almost buying and selling by force.But Jian Ping didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything more.

However, Zhang Hongmin reaffirmed the idea in his heart, at least the next job of the clan elder must not be in the Zhang family in Taohua Town.

It's not that Zhang Hongmin is ungrateful, it's that after so many years of being "pampered and pampered", the Zhang family has become accustomed to being superior.

This time, he was asking for Jianping, even the elders of the Dazhang clan dared to do this. If he didn't ask for help from others, it would only be worse.

Even if it's not for Zhang's family to avoid disaster, even if it's just for his own life after retirement, Zhang Hongmin knows that the position of village head can no longer be given to Zhang's family in Taohua Town.

Zhang Lichang's group of people came and went in a hurry, after all, it was about next year's harvest and how much money they could make in the future.

Tian Wen walked to Jian Ping quietly, stretched out his hand to hold Jian Ping's hand, and looked at Jian Ping worriedly.

After the people outside could no longer see him, Jian Ping took Tian Wen's hand and walked slowly towards his former house.Since Jian Ping got married, he moved out, but Jian Ping's house has not been changed.After all, the population of Jian Dazhu's family has not changed much, and there is not much need to renovate the room now.

And as Jian An and Jian Shun made more and more money, the family also wanted to expand the area of ​​the village and build some new houses.

After all, Jian Dazhu's house and Jian Ping's house now occupy the area of ​​several foundations, and the size of one foundation for that workshop is enough.

"Why, do you feel sorry for me?" After returning to the room, Jian Ping closed the door smoothly.If it was in the past, Tian Wen would have blushed and even struggled to open the door.

But at this time, he followed Jian Ping obediently, as if he would obey whatever Jian Ping wanted.

"Don't pay attention to those people." Tian Wen thought for a while and added another sentence. "Just pretend they're farting."

This time, Jian Ping was really taken aback.Looking at Tian Wen's appearance, he also looked in disbelief.Tian Wen's face flushed instantly after being watched.However, unlike the shyness in the past, this time there was also a little bit of timidity.

After all, in order to establish a good image in front of Jian Ping, Tian Wen doesn't use foul language, even speaking loudly can be reduced.

Isn't it surprising that there was a sudden swearing?

However, amidst Tian Wen's timidity and nervousness, Jian Ping laughed out loud, and then hugged him tightly in his arms. "My Xiaowen, you are too cute."

Jian Ping laughed exaggeratedly, happily, and even squeezed out a little bit of tears.

Tian Wen was stunned at first, then ignorant, and finally couldn't react in time.When he came back to his senses, he had already been rocked by Jian Ping for a long time.Tian Wen stretched out his hand cautiously, and protected Jian Ping's waist with his backhand.Burying his whole head into Jian Ping's arms, the sweetness in his heart multiplied.

Jian Ping has no scruples in front of him, and it's time for him to learn this way of getting along with each other more trustingly.

The two laughed and quarreled for a while, and then Jian Ping hugged Tian Wen and let Tian Wen sit on his lap by the window together.

Through the windows of white window paper, you can't see everything outside the house.However, the warm sunshine made both of them feel lazy.

"There's nothing to be angry about." In Jian Ping's tone, there was a smile that couldn't be concealed.Squeezing Tian Wen's fingers, he gently kissed Tian Wen's cheek.

"After all, this is one of my plans, isn't it?"

Leaning on Jian Ping's chest, Tian Wen looked at Jian Ping with undisguised admiration.And this kind of worship also made Jian Ping feel a little better.

The two of them knew better than anyone else that Jian Ping was actually the one who needed food now.It's just that it's not easy to take the initiative to attack, so we can only 'fishing and law enforcement' in this way.

The battle between Bai Huankong and a certain force has begun, and Jian Ping, fearing that Tian Wen will do something wrong inadvertently, tells Tian Wen directly about the situation.

They can help Bai Huankong, and even spare no effort to help Bai Huankong.But it must not be left behind, and Bai Huankong's opponent's forces must not find out.

The two rested in the room for a while before leaving the room.After all, the matter of collecting grain is still Jian Ping's business, and it's not good for the two of them to be so lazy all the time.

In the afternoon, Zhang Hongmin really came with a thousand catties of fine seeds to exchange for grain.However, it didn't really follow Jian Ping's one and a half catty, but the grain was pulled at the exchange rate of two catties.

In this way, Jian Ping's one thousand catties of seeds directly exchanged for two thousand catties of grain.Although the quality of these grains is a little worse than that of Jianjia Village, they are not considered good seeds.

But it can be eaten, and it can keep you full.

And when Zhang Hongmin came over, the big Zhang clan elder and the little Zhang clan elder who didn't talk much from the beginning to the end also pulled a dozen bullock carts over once.

Naturally, the items that were delivered were potatoes and sweet potatoes, which few people were willing to buy with money. The total amount was [-] catties, which scared Jian Ping.

At night, Zhou Lin brought someone over again.They took away all the newly made feed stacks and the exchanged grain, and gave Jian Ping another 5000 taels of silver.

After all, the supplies that Jian Ping gave before already exceeded the range of 5000 taels.Jian Ping didn't say anything, but Bai Huankong couldn't really pretend that he didn't know.

Besides, the barracks lacked everything now, except money.Those who opposed Bai Huankong, in order to avoid leaving any excuses for the military pay, they put in a lot of effort, and they have never been more straightforward.

It's just that all they gave were real money and bank notes, not a single grain of rice or grass.Not only that, but also controlled all the grain and grass in Nan'an City, and directly shorted the outside so that Bai Huankong could not buy grain, grass and medicinal materials.

This is a real collusion between government and businessmen. As for whether their actions will increase the death toll of soldiers at the border, it has nothing to do with those people.

After all, what they saw, only a higher power waved to them.

Jian Ping was afraid of the power of those people, so when it came to the purchase of grain, at least on the surface, he did it very aboveboard, and made it difficult for people to grasp it.

After all, in addition to exchanging seeds for the villagers, they only bought food from the village.It looks like a lot, but to the hundreds of thousands of border troops, it's nothing at all.

As for the gap opened from the Zhang family in Taohua Town, the potatoes and sweet potatoes sold by those people may not be regarded as food in the eyes of those people.

After all, these things are deeply ingrained in everyone's minds that only poor people who can't survive eat things.

Jian Ping was also very helpless about this.Keeping such good ingredients by your side without knowing it, is simply worthy of the title of ancestor of the big foodie country, okay?

Don't talk about those things that are too high-end, just simple and easy-to-make things like vinegared potato shreds, fried potato chips, and fried French fries, Jian Ping can eat them for several days without getting greasy.And to put it more simply, putting potatoes and sweet potatoes in the fire and roasting them, peeling off the skin and eating them directly, is also supremely delicious.

Let alone say anything... Forget it, I feel like my mouth is about to drool just thinking about it.Thinking about it any longer, I'm afraid today's life will be difficult.

Jian Ping silently decided to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes for dinner today before continuing with his previous work.

Although we all know that everyone looks down on these things, but even so, Jian Ping doesn't want to leave any excuses.After purchasing tens of thousands of catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes, Jian Ping built a processing workshop to the west of his home, which is a more remote place, saying that he would process these potatoes and sweet potatoes.

In this way, it can be regarded as proving to everyone that he bought these things for his own use, not for others.

In order to be able to live safely, Jian Ping can be regarded as cautious and cautious.
