After the village head persuaded most of the villagers, he came to find old man Zhao.

"Third brother, everything on my side has been settled, what kind of regulations have been discussed between you and Shutong."

The old man Zhao's eyes drifted for a while, he hadn't spoken to his son yet, where did the regulations come from.

In the eyes of the old man Zhao, it is a good thing for the village chief to bring people from the surrounding villages to offer sweet potatoes to the court, but he is not sure whether this is good or bad for his son.

He doesn't understand how those grown-ups are officials, but he also knows that officials and ordinary people think differently.

If you don't have what you want, who will give it to others for free? Old man Zhao is still afraid that the village chief's selfishness will harm his son, or ask his son for something his son can't afford.

"Village chief, are the villagers really voluntarily offering sweet potatoes to the court? You didn't use any bad means to coerce and threaten them, did you? An official can't do it." Old man Zhao looked at the village chief with distrust.

He went back to Shitai Village every day because he was afraid that the village head would persecute the villagers in order to offer sweet potatoes, which would have a bad influence on his son's reputation.

He wanted to persuade the village head not to offer sweet potatoes, and just live in peace and quiet. He is giving things for nothing and begging for help everywhere, but the eyes of the village head have been fascinated by wealth. They can't be pulled back.

If he didn't join in, the village head might really find other adults as he said last time.

The village where Jishi Zhao was located offered sweet potatoes to the imperial court. Instead of going through Jishi Zhao, he found other people. How should others think of his son then.

Old man Zhao was a little upset with the village chief.

When his son was not an official, he didn't have so many troubles. Although his son was a juren at that time, any person in the capital city could have a bad background. There were also families in their village who were married to wealthy businessmen and small officials.Ever since his family got married with his in-laws, he relied on everyone and everything. No wonder his son and daughter-in-law didn't come back to the village often.

"Third brother, we grew up wearing a pair of trousers. Don't you know what I am? Although I am not as good-hearted as fifth brother, since I took over the burden of the village chief from my father, have you ever I have seen me oppressing my neighbors, harming the interests of the villagers and enriching my own pockets, or murdering me for a few bags of money." The village chief retorted.

You have never bullied your neighbors, but someone has registered a household registration and approved a land for a hut, and you have not seen that you have received less filial piety, old man Zhao slandered in his heart.But he knew that although the village chief had some minor problems, he had never done anything serious, and he would even help others to make decisions when the married woman in the village was harshly treated by her husband's family.

"How do you persuade those who disagree?" Old man Zhao asked.

Although he came back every day, he didn't personally participate in helping the village chief persuade the villagers to donate sweet potatoes.The village head will use Zhao Shutong next, so he didn't embarrass the old man Zhao in such a small place.When people asked old man Zhao what it was about offering sweet potatoes, he would just laugh, or ask them to go to the village chief.He just planted the fields or listened to gossip in the village, much more at ease than the village head.Everyone knows the basics, and he also knows who is unwilling to offer sweet potatoes.

What old man Zhao is most concerned about is how the village chief can persuade them. If the village chief bullies the villagers in the name of his son and forces the villagers to agree, old man Zhao will definitely quit.

"Our Shitai Village is close to the capital. The villagers bathe in the grace of the Holy Grail, teach and help people, and most of them are reasonable people. We have enjoyed the benefits of the imperial court's protection and Shutong. We are grateful and naturally want to do something to repay the court's filial piety. Yes." The village head said, "Present this wave of sweet potatoes. There are enough sweet potatoes in the northwest to grow seedlings. The imperial court does not need to spend money to buy them. The villagers can also concentrate on the recipes given by Shutong to make delicacies and sell them outside. Money. Although some people are unhappy, when the emperor commends the people and praises from the people, the heart of resentment will naturally disappear. How can they disagree with such a thing that kills three birds with one stone and benefits everyone."

"The emperor will commend you?" Old man Zhao asked suspiciously when he saw the village head's determined expression.

His son presented the sweet potatoes in order to marry his daughter-in-law, and he didn't even give the sweet potatoes to his in-laws, and his own family might encounter disasters, so he didn't dare to ask for the emperor's praise at all, so he was not as ambitious as the village head.

"I will definitely give it. The royal family pays attention to rewards and rewards. Those who have made merits must be rewarded. Anyone who has made contributions to the court will be rewarded by the emperor. It's just for the big and the small, it depends on Shutong's ability." How much effort has been made in front of the emperor." The village head said.

He hoped that Zhao Shutong or Zhao Shutong's Yue family would do more to give them a big reward.

"Okay, seventh brother, let me tell you why you suddenly want to make a contribution to the court. It turned out that you wanted my son to commend you." Old man Zhao said angrily, and he said that the village chief jumped up and down to give to the court. Sweet Potato, those thorns are unwilling but they are all quiet and do not make trouble. It turns out that they are all trying to use his son to ask his son to ask for credit.

"Third brother, don't be annoyed, just listen to me first."

"There's nothing to say. Shutong is still studying and can't even see the emperor. How can I ask for credit for you. Even if you have any ambitions, you can never use my son as a pedal." Old man Zhao shook off angrily. The village chief's hand.

"Third brother, I didn't do this for myself, but for our village, for our future descendants." The village chief quickly explained.

With great difficulty, he won the consent of the elders in the village and suppressed the voices of opposition in the village. If he angered the third brother at this time, wouldn't he be busy.

"I can't believe you. No matter how nice you say, you want to take what my son gave you and make my son work for you." Old man Zhao said angrily.

To offer sweet potatoes is to offer sweet potatoes. The village chief has thought so carefully and killed three birds with one stone. As an honest man, Old Man Zhao doesn't believe that he didn't do it for himself. There must be another four that he doesn't know Diao, waiting for his son.

He's not smart, but he's not stupid either.

If Little Sweet Potato knew that he brought a group of relatives to suck blood from his father, he would definitely be disappointed in his grandfather.

"Third Brother, do you still remember the Chengnan Baozi from the previous dynasty?" the village head said anxiously.

Old man Zhao seems to remember that when his uncles and elders told them stories when they were young, they mentioned this Chengnan steamed stuffed bun, or Qin Ji steamed stuffed bun.In the former dynasty, a family named Qin opened a steamed stuffed bun shop in the south of the city. The steamed stuffed buns were affordable and delicious, and were praised by neighbors and guests. The steamed stuffed bun of Baozi shop, praised its delicious and cheap buns, and because of his happiness, he even wrote an inscription for Baozipu.Since then, the business of the Qin Family Steamed Bun Shop has been continuous. Hundreds of thousands of people go there every day, and the steamed stuffed buns are often snatched up as soon as they come out of the cage.

By the end of the dynasty, the Qin family, who made their fortunes by relying on steamed stuffed buns, were already one of the top businessmen.However, during the new dynasty, the Qin family disappeared. There were rumors that they sponsored a small boss when the world was in chaos, and they were on the wrong team. When the small boss they sponsored was defeated, they followed suit. People will no longer have the chance to know what the Qin family's steamed stuffed bun tastes like, so that the emperor who is used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas will be astonished.

But because of a compliment from the emperor, the Qin family really prospered for a dynasty.

When the family was at its best, the Qin family's business involved tea, silk, restaurants, Yinzhuang pawnshops, etc., relying on the plaque inscribed by the emperor and the top and bottom management, there were almost no dignitaries to embarrass them.

If their entire Shitai Village can get praise from the emperor, as long as Da Qi is still there, they really don't have to worry about the issue of their descendants.

Although the old man Zhao felt that what the village chief said was very good and he was very moved, he was still reluctant to let his son take risks for others.

His son finally got admitted to Jinshi, and he hasn't become an official yet, so what if he is implicated by these people.

But he is not such a firm person. The village chief noticed the idea of ​​planning for his children and grandchildren in his heart. He cried and said that it was not easy for him, that he had no selfishness, and that everything he did was for the sake of In order for the future descendants to have a foothold in the village, the village chief then invited the village chiefs of the other five villages, the senior uncle in the village, and the old man Zhao was not so many opponents, so he had to promise to have a good relationship with his son. discuss.

When the old man Zhao went home and told Zhao Shutong about the village chief's idea, Zhao Shutong was very surprised. During the Chinese New Year, they still wanted to sell sweet potatoes to merchants for ten yuan a piece, but they didn't want to sell them for three yuan. Selling a catty to the imperial court, it can be said that they want money but not their lives, but now they are willing to give it for nothing, and also united with the other five villages.

But Zhao Shutong thought about it deeply, and he could still understand the village head's psychology.

For the good of the village is a high-sounding reason. The fundamental reason is that he is jealous because of sweet potatoes, and wants to give it a go.

"Son, does this matter affect you? If it's not good for you, just leave it alone and let the village chief find other adults to offer it." Seeing that his son hadn't spoken, old man Zhao said cautiously.

"It's all the patriotism of the neighbors, and it doesn't affect me." Zhao Shutong came back to answer his father's question.

"Actually, you don't need to find any adult specifically for this matter, and you don't need to go through me. When the officials come to buy again this year, the village head will tell them that's it. Let the emperor know." Zhao Shutong said.

Zhao Shutong was too lazy to stop Qingyun Road in the village chief's heart, and he would not stop them from offering sweet potatoes.

As for having a ceremony with them, he is not interested.If you really don't want money, just tell the people who bought it, and you don't need to go through him at all.

The old man Zhao looked at Zhao Shutong dumbfounded, "Son, you don't want to care about it!"

Zhao Shutong smiled and looked at his father, "Father, I don't have to worry about this. Whatever the village chief wants to do, as long as he doesn't use my name to oppress the neighbors, you can let him do it."

Without his involvement, perhaps a result that is good for most people can be obtained.

"He dare not use your name, I'm watching." Old man Zhao said.

I thought he should continue to go back to the village every day to look at the village chief.

The author has something to say:

At the end of the term, there are more reports to deal with.
