The husband is a love brain

When his father-in-law fooled his father into asking the village to grow sweet potatoes and sell them to the imperial court, Zhao Shutong knew it was a thankless task.Now that there is really a conflict over money, Zhao Shutong is not surprised at all.

"We made an agreement with the government that the government will buy the sweet potatoes grown by the villagers of Shitai Village in the past two years. Uncle Village Chief, you know about it," Zhao Shutong said.

The village chief nodded, "Your father persuaded the villagers when he returned to the village, everyone knows."

"It's just that some of the sweet potatoes we planted before the Chinese New Year were kept as seeds, and some were distributed to nearby villages with relatives. There were not many left, and the imperial court did not take them away. A while ago, an official said that starting next spring, there will be I bought our sweet potatoes for two years and bought them for three renminbi a catty. The yield of sweet potatoes is [-] jin per mu, at three renminbi a catty, and one mu of land can earn nine taels. The villagers thought this price was not bad. But recently our village has come to buy a lot The sweet potato merchants offered up to ten yuan a piece, and a sweet potato only weighs so much, so the price difference is not double or double." The village chief said.

Zhao Shutong did some calculations, and at least five or six thousand sweet potatoes can be grown in one mu of land, which is six or seven times the price difference, which is already enough to make people take risks.

"Also, the village near where we sent the sweet potatoes never said that they would sell the sweet potatoes to the imperial court. When the sweet potatoes are ripe in the future, they spent the same effort to grow the sweet potatoes. They sold them to the merchants and made a lot of money. Let's make a profit." Labor money, the folks are also suffocated."

Naturally, the villagers dare not oppose the imperial court, but for the sake of money, the villagers will inevitably hide sweet potatoes.Although the imperial court did not say that they would not be allowed to privately sell sweet potatoes, once they were found out, they would be disloyal to the imperial court and there would be great troubles in the future.

Some people may complain about the old man Zhao who went back to the village to help them grow sweet potatoes and sell them to the court.

If it is sold to businessmen, it can make them rich in a short period of time without worrying about food and drink for many years, but selling it to the imperial court is as painful as cutting flesh with a knife.

When the old man Zhao mentioned this, although the villagers were all proud of helping the imperial court plant sweet potatoes and making money, who would remember how grateful they were to the old man Zhao when they became red next year, remembering that the sweet potatoes were given to them by Zhao Shutong of.

The village chief was a little worried.

This person's heart is really hard to control.

He was really afraid that the disturbance would be unsightly, which would bring disaster to the village and turn good things into bad things.The village chief said this to Zhao Shutong because he wanted Zhao Shutong to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.

Zhao Shutong was very calm at this time. He asked the village chief, "Uncle village chief, how many sweet potatoes have the villagers sent out?"

"Sweet potatoes are a good thing, and everyone is reluctant to give them away for free. Even if you send three to five catties of seedlings to relatives, the extra will not exceed ten catties." The village chief replied, sweet potatoes can be sold for money to entertain passing tourists, how can the villagers be willing? Send more to relatives.

Anyway, the yield of sweet potatoes is high, just give them some seedlings and let them grow slowly.

"That's easy to do. Uncle Village Chief, I have an idea. We can invite the village chiefs of the nearby villages who are closely related to our village, and give the people in their villages enough sweet potatoes for seedlings next spring for free. They will plant sweet potatoes with us next spring."

"Giving it to them for free, how can the villagers be willing?"

"Uncle village chief, listen to me. We give them sweet potatoes for free. There is only one condition. The sweet potatoes they grow in the first two seasons of next year must be sold to the imperial court together with our village. They cannot hide or sell them privately. Merchant. If you seize the time to plant sweet potatoes, you can grow them all four seasons a year. The sweet potatoes grown in two seasons in our villages are worth hundreds of thousands of catties, which is enough for the imperial court to send to the northwest. When the time comes, the sweet potatoes will be circulated among the people. I'll take care of it later. Villagers can also earn some money from sweet potatoes," said Zhao Shutong.

"Uncle Village Chief, when I gave the sweet potatoes to the villagers for free, I didn't ask for anything from them. Now I ask them to sell the sweet potatoes grown in the first half of next year to the imperial court. That's not too much," Zhao Shutong said.

"Not too much, not too much." The village chief said repeatedly.

"Sweet potatoes are just food. When there are too many sweet potatoes in the future, they will be worthless. The food made from sweet potatoes is the way to make money. I am willing to make another copy of the food recipe dedicated to the emperor and send it to several surrounding villages. Uncle Chang, what do you think of this?" Zhao Shutong said, the sweet potatoes left for the village to raise seedlings were only more than 100 catties, and the sweet potatoes grown from this hundred catties were distributed to various families to continue to grow seedlings, and the amount of sweet potatoes was small. Zhao Shutong was busy with getting married and studying for fame, and the old man Zhao lived in Zhuangzi all day long. Neither of the father and son thought about spreading the recipes of those delicacies.

Teaching it to the villagers now can completely make up for the losses they did not sell to the merchants.

"Shutong is of course a good thing that you are willing to teach everyone those delicious recipes. I won't hide it from you. When I discussed ideas with a few uncles, my uncle also said to plant them with the surrounding villages. I asked you today to see if you have a better way. If so, let’s discuss this matter with the village chiefs of other villages tomorrow, and I believe they will agree.” The village chief said.

Zhao Shutong understood that the village chief had discussed with his elders a long time ago and asked himself about this matter.

Now the businessman can pay ten yuan for a sweet potato, but after half a year, he may not be willing to pay this price.

And Zhao Shutong made it clear that the mission of the imperial court cannot be discounted, nor will the price be increased, and the village chief will not stick to his original idea after getting enough compensation from Zhao Shutong.

Zhao Shutong was too lazy to argue with the village chief about this little thing. His father took this matter from his father-in-law. Now that things have gone awry, he naturally has to do his part to help straighten things out.

Zhao Shutong had a hunch that his father-in-law might be a mountain that he could never climb in his life.

Back home, Zhao Shutong told old man Zhao what the village chief said.

Old man Zhao returned to the village from Zhuangzi two days earlier than Zhao Shutong.

Hearing about this incident, the old man Zhao immediately said that he would go with Zhao Shutong to meet the village chiefs of several other villages tomorrow.

In his heart, he felt that it was better to sell sweet potatoes to the imperial court to make contributions than to sell them to merchants and let those merchants make money.The in-laws have said before that the court is in a difficult time.As citizens, they should be proud of helping the court tide over difficulties.

"Son, Dad didn't do everything well this time, and I have to ask you to explain it to me. It's really hard work for you." Old man Zhao said guiltily.

Old man Zhao also knew that he was respected by his son in the village, and the seventh brother didn't discuss this matter with him, and it was because he was incapable of being an old man when he found the child.

"Father, this is what I should do. You are not doing this for your own selfishness, but also for the good of the village. If our Shitai Village can make a great contribution to the imperial court, there will be a few people in the government office in the future." Share the incense and fire." Zhao Shutong comforted the old man Zhao.

After his son comforted him, old man Zhao felt much better.

Zhao Shutong returned to the room, and Pei Qi was doubled up again as the carriage bumped all the way, and fell asleep from exhaustion.

During the rare and comfortable time, Zhao Shutong sat aside and watched Pei Qi's sleeping face, feeling that Pei Qi was really rare among the elder brothers of a wealthy family.I don't complain about the shabby living environment, and I don't lose my temper when the environment is unbearably dirty.Although a little disgusted, he was able to sleep so soundly.

It is very good to feed.

Except for the occasional need to spend some time to coax him, it didn't cause him any trouble, and even brought him a lot of help.

Now, it brought him the joy of being a husband and a father.

Zhao Shutong felt that he made money by marrying Pei Qi.

Zhao Shutong reached into Pei Qi's quilt and stroked his slightly swollen belly, where his child was being conceived.

Pei Qi was full of sleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his wife who was watching over him.

"What time is it?" Pei Qi asked lazily.

"It's time for dinner."

"I want to eat sweet and sour fish." Pei Qi said.

"The cook is cooking for you, and even made chicken soup for you."

"Then come and help me get up quickly, and fetch water for me to wash up." Pei Qi told Zhao Shutong as a matter of course, that when the master came to the room, he kicked out all his nurses and servants. He is now a A pregnant woman who needs someone to take care of her can only let her wife take care of him.

"Happy to serve you, husband." Zhao Shutong lowered his head and said.

Pei Qi was so teased by Zhao Shutong that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

On the second day, Zhao Shutong, the old man Zhao, the village chief and several uncles went to the village chiefs of several nearby villages to discuss planting sweet potatoes.

Zhao Shutong said that the sweet potatoes for other villages should come from his own village, but the village head and uncle vetoed it together, saying that the villagers would let the sweet potatoes come out together.

The village chiefs of several other villages saw that all their villages could now grow sweet potatoes, and the price they paid was not high. Even if the sweet potatoes were sold to the imperial court, they could earn some money, so they all agreed.

This kind of good thing, if you miss it this time, it will be gone next time.

Although Pei Qi stayed at home alone, he was not idle. Several elder women brought their juniors to visit him.

Pei Qi didn't know these people well, so he asked Nanny Zeng to come forward to help entertain them, and sat on the sidelines just to be a tool for giving gifts, occasionally responding to Zhao Shutong when people asked about them.

Pei Qi is the elder brother of the Minister's House, and these people all want to have a good relationship with him, and the way to please Pei Qi is to praise him desperately, even a mole on Pei Qi's hand can boast of his wealth.

Pei Qi felt extremely uncomfortable.

He had nothing in common with these people, and he had to endure the embarrassment to chat with them. However, at this time, his master was not at home, and no one came to help him. Pei Qi was very wronged.

If Nanny Zeng hadn't refilled him with water twice to remind him, Pei Qi couldn't help pretending to have a stomachache and go back to the room to rest.

It's not that Pei Qi doesn't want to lose his temper, it's just that many of the people here are the master and his elders, and if the influence is not good, he bears it.

It was not until the arrival of Aunt Wutang that the deadlock was broken.

Aunt Wutang brought Zhao Yanze over.

"It's Chinese New Year, Yan Ze, come here and kowtow to your brother-in-law." Aunt Wutang ordered Zhao Yanze.

"This is the rule of speech, get up quickly, you don't need to kowtow." Pei Qi asked Zeng Nanny to stop Zhao Yan from kowtowing to him.

But Zhao Yan was obedient. His mother asked him to kowtow, so he avoided Madam Zeng, knelt down on the ground with both legs, and kowtowed firmly to Pei Qi.

Pei Qi didn't know what to say.

"Mommy, I remember we brought back a Chengni inkstone this time, right? Find it out and give it to Brother Yan Ze." Pei Qi said.

When Zhao Yan heard that his brother-in-law gave him a Chengni inkstone, he couldn't help showing a shy smile, "Thank you, brother-in-law Tong."

"You're welcome. Brother Shutong asked me to prepare this for you. Get up quickly and stop kneeling," Pei Qi said.

Only then did Zhao Yan remember that he was still kneeling, so he quickly stood up.

"This child has been a fool since he was a child, lacking in mind, don't take it from Shutong's family." Aunt Wutang said angrily.

Pei Qi said he was not surprised.

Soon Bai Ling found the Chengni inkstone, Madam Zeng handed the inkstone to Zhao Yanze, Zhao Yan once again thanked Pei Qi and left, Uncle Tong was not at home, it was full of family members, he was not suitable for a long time treat.So Zhao Yan couldn't put it down, holding the inkstone and going home.

As soon as Zhao Yan left, Aunt Wutang grabbed Pei Qi's hand and praised Pei Qi, "You and Shutong didn't have time to take a closer look on the day of the wedding, you are really a top-notch person, no wonder no one in Shutong I want to marry, even if I am beaten to death by your father, I still want to marry you."

"Having a child so soon, Shutong is really lucky to marry you."

Pei Qi sat there numbly and let Aunt Wutang continue to praise him, lowering her head from time to time to pretend to be shy.

Zhao Shutong and Old Man Zhao were discussing things with others. They ate outside at noon, and it was already afternoon when they returned.The people who came to Zhao's house in the morning left with a wink at lunch, but someone came over again in the afternoon.

Pei Qi stared at Zhao Shutong as if seeing a savior.

The man in the family came back, and the family members who came didn't stay long, and the house soon became quiet.

"Master, staying in the village for a day is more tiring than raising a baby at home for two months." Pei Qi said, although he was not allowed to go out during the baby raising, and he was bored, but he didn't have to deal with so much and didn't know how to deal with it. people.

Seeing that Pei Qi was so exhausted, Zhao Shutong couldn't help but feel distressed, "I will send you back to your natal family in the second year of junior high school, and then you can stay in Beijing, and I will come back alone."

"Then we won't see each other for several days." Pei Qi said.

"Then you can go back to Beijing with me when I was in the seventh day of junior high school. We don't have to come back to celebrate the New Year next year." Zhao Shutong said.

After hearing Zhao Shutong's words, Pei Qi felt some comfort.
