Cannon fodder attack only wants to farm
Chapter 97 The Finale
Most of He Zifeng’s harvest grains are in two or three liters. After a period of time, the grains will lose some moisture and become lighter in weight.In addition, when collecting grain, you have to pay Shuanzi wages, carriage and horse fees, etc., and you can only sell it for five cents, so you can only mix up the cost.
He still has [-] catties of grain left, and he thought it was very simple before, so he can give away the porridge.But this winter is too cold, those who can't eat can basically fill their stomachs as long as they hug the thighs of the government-run tofu shop.
Fewer people came to eat porridge here.
The county magistrate is a good official and can do some practical things.When he was raising grain, he was shocked by the mountain-like granary, but since the beginning of winter, the grain has grown rapidly, and the county magistrate has frequently worried about the grain.
Everywhere was severely affected, and food prices soared.No matter how restrained it is, it has risen to an astonishing number.He Zifeng's remaining five thousand catties of grain will be handed over directly to the county, which will save more people!
The reason for giving soup at the beginning was that gold was dug out from the cellar of the mansion.With this windfall, I want to do something good.
Now a rough calculation can save no less than a thousand people.
He Zifeng donated the five thousand catties of grain to the county magistrate free of charge.
The magistrate of the county is worrying about food!
When He Zifeng came up, he relieved the county magistrate's urgent need, and just made up for the lack of food borrowed by those villagers.
Now even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food!
The magistrate still missed this kindness very much, and said, "Thanks to you."
The county magistrate has already begun to think about it. If the three-year period expires and he is transferred to another place, he can leave with He Zifeng.There is no reliable person around him, and he has been watching coldly in the county for half a year.The county belongs to He Zifeng.
But he hasn't told He Zifeng about this matter yet, the future will be long, and he will check his tone when he is about to leave.
After receiving the food donation from He Zifeng, the county magistrate was in a good mood, and wrote a poem on the heavy snow outside.
Although it was snowing heavily, the people in the county lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the victims of the disaster were properly resettled.The brick kiln factory is about to start construction soon.There is a lot of output there. In the future, so many people will cultivate fields and build houses, and they will definitely need a lot of bricks and tiles!
As soon as the kiln is opened, let them fire more, and it will not be enough if there is less.Unknowingly wrote down a lot of arrangements.Then He Zifeng and Zhu Tutou were called up to discuss.
He Zifeng is okay, he can work, he doesn't feel anything.But Zhu Tutou was used to idleness before, and he couldn't bear to work all day long. He wondered if he could take a rest for a while, but who would have thought that the magistrate of the county would arrange something else, and he might only have a few days off on New Year's Eve.
The county magistrate has already passed his thirties, and he is not considered young anymore.How can I have an endless spirit all day long?
But he dared not say it.
The county magistrate talked to them late at night, so he had no choice but to sleep in the county for a while.
Early the next morning, each village sent people to collect food from He Zifeng.They went back to raise money immediately. Now that there was an emergency shortage of food, they were afraid that it would blow up, so He Zifeng was already ready.They weighed the grain directly, and gave the silver when they counted three thousand catties, and they hired a car to take it away.
In the past few days, the heavy snow has started to cool down, and there are almost no people on the road.They went out of the county by a small path, and when they returned to the village, they didn't attract much attention!
People in these villages carry the grain away.He Zifeng asked the Escort to transport the remaining grain to the granary.He Zifeng had a note from the magistrate of the county, and the grain was then sealed into the grain depot.
He Zifeng's side was transported away except for the spare food from some shops.The cellar was empty, and he felt a lot more at ease.
Then I went to the yard to check the sauerkraut, pickles, cabbage, radish and other winter vegetables prepared in winter.
The meat pot in his shop sells well every day. At the beginning, everyone only ate big pots and small pots.I stuttered to eat meat, and then I got a little tired, so I started to put vegetables in it, and it was delicious when stewed.Especially the sauerkraut absorbs enough fat from the meat, so it is delicious and relieves greasiness.
Fortunately, I stock up a lot during winter, otherwise there would not be enough to sell.
He Zifeng saw that there was still about half of the sauerkraut jar left.The stock of radishes and cabbage is almost half gone.Thanks to their hoarding, they saved a lot of money!He Zifeng planned to give Master Zhang a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year, since he was in the shop, he didn't let himself worry about anything.
Not only dine-in food, what they sell the most is Master Zhang's stir-fried ingredients, which are put into food boxes and bought by servants from wealthy families.
Rich families have their own copper pots, or they eat together as a family, or meet three or five friends to eat meat while enjoying the snow.It's more comfortable than eating noisy on the second floor.And they use silver charcoal to keep heating, so the stew is more crispy.The colder the day, the hotter the sale.
I heard that rich people will buy ten copies at a time. Now that it is cold in winter, if you put something outside, it will freeze solid after a while, and it will not spoil at all.You can use it whenever you want to eat, and it melts just like a new one.
There are always some diners who eat differently from others.It was already late at night when I wanted to eat this on a whim.The shops are all closed, but if you buy them in advance and freeze them, even if you wake up people in the middle of the night, you can still have a meal.
Now for delivery, besides their beef and mutton hot pot, the most famous one is their sauerkraut.The taste is different from the ones eaten everywhere. It is crunchy, sour and fragrant. It is especially suitable to be added to this pot. If it is topped with the honey spicy sauce here, it can eat three bowls of soaked rice.
He Zifeng made chili sauce at the beginning. Their pot sells so well that even ten people are too busy. They really don’t want to add more chili sauce. Take this bite.
Especially in winter, eating is tasteless.A spoonful of hot sauce is delicious with anything.
He Zifeng directly handed the recipe to Master Zhang, who is indeed an expert in handling the spoon.After being made by him, it tastes better than the original one.Now I make [-] bottles a day. Every time people come to the second floor in the morning to buy hot sauce, they buy ten bottles and ten bottles, because they are afraid that they will not buy enough for their master.
Seeing that it was extremely cold today, He Zifeng went to the second floor and asked them to make ten beef pots.Put it in the food box and he will take it away.
Give a copy to the county magistrate after you go back.Zhu catches the head.Two copies were sent to the prison.The remaining six shares were divided among the brothers below.
In such a cold winter, eating a hot pot makes me feel warm all over my body.
After a while, the whole yamen could smell the smell of the pot. He Zifeng was very popular in the county, so he didn't need to tell him that the rest room was hot.
He Zifeng was lying on it, he put down the important matter of food, and fell asleep after a while.
The next day, He Zifeng was the first to go out to inspect, and sent someone to pick up the sentry. Now the people who stand on the sentry and guard the city are the hardest.
Although the sentry guards changed every two hours, they couldn't bear it when they put on the thickest cotton trousers for two hours, and their bodies were completely frozen.
He Zifeng said: "Go back and rest, the cook has made ginger soup for you."
The little yamen servant's face turned red from the cold, and he said, "Thank you Brother He." He has been exercising a lot these days.They almost lost their once extravagant and decadent energy, and now the yamen servants are supported by the common people.
These small yamen servants often contact people in the county, and now they have a sense of pride, which cannot be bought with money.Even if they are arranged in a difficult place, they will not shirk like before.
People like the magistrate of the county get up early to make inspections every day, and Zhu Butou is also diligent.Everyone dare not be lazy.
He Zifeng came here for a while, and the person who received the sentry had just started to work, and said: "It seems that the deputy head catcher has a group of people riding horses." Most people don't go out in winter, and the sound of horseshoes becomes clearly visible.
When He Zifeng heard this, he stepped up the city wall quickly, and there were quite a few people who looked closely.
He Zifeng came late.But the surrounding government servants have been here for a long time.It was obvious at a glance: "It is Master Qiu."
That's the county magistrate's immediate superior and the master's guide.
He Zifeng immediately said: "Run back to the county immediately and report to the county magistrate and Zhu Butou!"
"Yes." The little yamen servant next to him was also very clever.
He Zifeng didn't know why they came this time, so he didn't dare to neglect and quickly opened the city gate. After about a quarter of an hour, he saw Qiu Daren taking twenty sabers and riding into the city, saying: "Your county magistrate is here Where?" He spoke arrogantly.
He Zifeng thumped in his heart, the visitor was not kind.
He Zifeng said: "My lord is at the county government office, busy with some things."
Master Qiu glanced at He Zifeng and said, "Look at your face."
The people next to him immediately echoed: "What's your name, report it quickly."
"I'm He Zifeng." He said politely.
But the man waved his hand impatiently and said, "I've never heard of it." He Zifeng didn't get off his horse at all, He Zifeng dragged on for a while at the gate of the city, and the county magistrate and Zhu Butou rushed over and said, "Master Qiu, you Why do you have the time to come here? Many of these yamen servants in the county are newcomers, and it's freezing outside, so it's better to come to the yamen to warm up."
Lord Qiu's complexion improved a little, and he said, "Okay." Then he rode to the county government office.
The magistrate and Zhu Butou followed in a carriage, and called He Zifeng before leaving.
It was not until the gate of the Yamen that I got out of the carriage.A group of people filed in, carrying the aura that strangers should not enter.After entering, he said, "Are you convicted?"
Then Mr. Qiu sat on the table.
His entourage came immediately and wanted to catch the magistrate.With He Zifeng and Zhu Tuotou by his side, they certainly wouldn't let these people succeed.
The magistrate said: "Master Qiu, what... what is the meaning of this?"
Master Qiu glanced at the county magistrate and said, "This year's snow disaster, you knew it in advance, why did you report it early. It caused incalculable losses to several counties!"
The county magistrate hurriedly complained, and said: "My lord, I just found out about this, and I wrote to you and a few colleagues. The letter explained the seriousness of the matter."
Mr. Qiu received a letter from the magistrate, but he dismissed it and put it away.Unexpectedly, it began to snow in mid-October, and the snow never stopped.The price of food is out of control, people who freeze to death, people who starve to death, and those who sell their children and daughters are completely messed up.Even his food has to be bought at a high price.
He immediately wrote a letter of distress to the court, asking them to distribute relief food.But the imperial disaster relief minister was not relentless, he took some old food and ate and drank here, and it cost more than 5000 taels of silver to entertain the disaster relief minister, and the disaster relief food looked like he bought it with money.
Many people died, and the herdsmen around made troubles.In addition, the delay in being impeached by his opponent due to the disaster made him physically and mentally exhausted.He is an old man, knowing that he only needs to introduce a scapegoat at this moment, and he can solve the current predicament.
All others belong to their own party.Only the magistrate is not, and today he is here to convict him.
Master Qiu came to find fault with his mobile phone, so he wanted to hit him with one blow, and he would not let him escape easily.Said: "How did you know about the snow disaster?"
When he first received the letter, not only him, but everyone else didn't take it seriously.That's still some time before winter.I just feel that this person is nagging and doesn't take it to heart.
The magistrate of the county said: "It was the people from Qin Tianjian who reported it to the emperor. A friend of mine told me over there."
Mr. Qiu's eyes were filled with surprise, he forgot to check the background of the magistrate before he came.
Before thinking that he could come to such a remote place, he was not someone with a background.
But he actually has friends with Qin Tianjian, which was a bit beyond his expectation.Although the people over there are all alchemists, and some thorns in the officialdom, get them to that place to study the heavenly scriptures.
People in Qin Tianjian can see the emperor.
Master Qiu said: "Report the situation in your county." As long as he can't tell, give him a label of lax governance.
However, since the snow disaster, the county magistrate has done everything by himself, and the county has taken several measures to build the city wall and control food prices.Organizing snow-sweeping teams, government-run tofu shops, resettling victims of disasters, lending food to the countryside, and supporting pharmacies, he can talk about all these things.
Master Qiu was taken aback.Some couldn't believe it: "How many dead people did you just say?"
The county magistrate said: "No one was injured or killed by the snow disaster." No one among the local people died because of the snow disaster.This year, Ya Xing was specifically warned not to take advantage of the disaster to buy or sell other people's children.
A few of the victims from outside died, but they were already dying of illness after they arrived, and they died within a few hours.Those who followed were also well taken care of.
It can be said that these are promoted by the magistrate of the county. From the top to control the merchants, from the bottom to spend a lot of money on the common people.These young masters and servants have been working all the time, and everyone is united in their hearts. Although life is difficult, they are all alive.
Mr. Qiu was a little shocked when he heard it. The number of people affected by the disaster in several other counties reached as many as [-] to [-].If it wasn't for such a big hole, he wouldn't be held accountable by the superiors!
Master Qiu didn't expect the magistrate to do this, but he was more disturbed.The person in his hands is too capable, and he is not his person. Does this not make him even more incompetent?
He said involuntarily: "Everyone is under house arrest and under house arrest. No one is allowed to go out."
The county magistrate's face changed when he heard this. Although he knew that they were coming in a menacing manner, it was the first time he had seen them being completely unreasonable.
The magistrate said: "Why?"
Master Qiu said: "Master's death is strange. After many investigations, it is said that you killed your colleagues and emptied the county treasury for disaster relief. Who knows if you are really doing disaster relief or moving to your own home?" But the imprint that cannot be washed off: "I want to investigate it myself."
The county magistrate was annoyed by his shameless and savage way of judging the case: "There is no excuse for accusing him of a crime."
Seeing that they still have to resist.Master Qiu's twenty subordinates were not vegetarians either, so they immediately drew their swords.
Master Qiu specially brought these people with high martial arts skills.The shining sword had a cold glow, which made people frightened just looking at it.
Master Qiu scolded loudly: "Why, you don't even listen to Shangguan's words, do you want to rebel?"
The county magistrate saw that one hat of the other party was bigger than the other, so he had to swallow his anger and tell He Zifeng and Zhu Butou that they were locked in one room, while the other room was locked up by government servants.
Zhu Butou's face was also a little ugly. Master Qiu was playing for real this time. Since he wanted to arrest them and ask for some mistakes, it was not easy. Even if they didn't, they could still "create" some.
He Zifeng said to the magistrate: "My lord, are you all right this time?"
The magistrate of the county said: "It's careless." He just wanted to fix the one-acre three-point land under his jurisdiction.Unexpectedly, the surrounding county government is almost rotten, and they don't want to solve the problem, they just want to blame each other.
He didn't have time to prepare, and now it's too late even if he thinks about it temporarily.
I can only hope that my servants and servants will find out that something is wrong, and hurry up to rescue him.
It's a pity that he was not very lucky. After a while, he heard that the boy came to the county government with his servants to look for him, but he threw himself into the trap and was caught and thrown with them.
This time I completely cut off contact with the outside world.
The county magistrate said to them: "So they are waiting for me here." No one came to investigate whether it was reporting the matter of the master or the snowstorm before. It may be that they were selected early as scapegoats.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Mr. Qiu can't spend it with them until the Chinese New Year, it is estimated that the results of the processing will come out in just a few days.Right now, we still need to think of a way.He Zifeng said to Zhu Butou, "Xie Rui is available."
They can't get out now, but Xie Rui is the son of the Xie family.If he wasn't at Xie's house, he would definitely be in a hurry.In this way, they have the opportunity to communicate with outsiders.
Zhu Butou immediately understood what He Zifeng meant, but they were imprisoned in two houses.The rooms are next to each other, and He Zifeng likes to carry a silver dagger with him. It looks inconspicuous, and it can save lives when hidden in his sleeve.
Then I watched He Zifeng start digging a hole with a dagger in the gap in the wall. The dagger was very sharp, and a round hole was dug out in a short while.
Only the width of two fingers.But through the small hole, another room can already be seen.Someone was guarding outside, not letting them go out.The magistrate then handed a note to the window.
The other party quickly received the note, and then heard that Xie Rui said that his stomach hurts and he wanted to go see a doctor.
Now is the critical moment for Mr. Qiu to "make" the confession. It's nothing for a small yamen servant to have a stomachache. Even if he dies in the house, he won't be let out.Sure enough, after a while, he heard the guard at the door telling him to be quiet.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, the Xie family sent someone to look for him.
Only then did the people present know that Xie Rui, the cowardly yamen servant, was actually the son of the Xie family. The Xie family and the Gong family each held half of the county's business circles. They really underestimated him before.
The person from Xie's family is more experienced, he only said that his young master has diarrhea, and it's okay to send a doctor to take care of him.
The subordinates reported to Mr. Qiu, who snorted and said, "There are so many things." However, the other party Zhiqu sealed 200 taels of silver and said, "Just send the doctor in, and no one is allowed to go out." He said At the most important moment now, the wind cannot be leaked.
"Yes." The subordinate agreed.
He still has [-] catties of grain left, and he thought it was very simple before, so he can give away the porridge.But this winter is too cold, those who can't eat can basically fill their stomachs as long as they hug the thighs of the government-run tofu shop.
Fewer people came to eat porridge here.

The county magistrate has already begun to think about it. If the three-year period expires and he is transferred to another place, he can leave with He Zifeng.There is no reliable person around him, and he has been watching coldly in the county for half a year.The county belongs to He Zifeng.

Master Qiu said: "Report the situation in your county." As long as he can't tell, give him a label of lax governance.
However, since the snow disaster, the county magistrate has done everything by himself, and the county has taken several measures to build the city wall and control food prices.Organizing snow-sweeping teams, government-run tofu shops, resettling victims of disasters, lending food to the countryside, and supporting pharmacies, he can talk about all these things.
Master Qiu was taken aback.Some couldn't believe it: "How many dead people did you just say?"
The county magistrate said: "No one was injured or killed by the snow disaster." No one among the local people died because of the snow disaster.This year, Ya Xing was specifically warned not to take advantage of the disaster to buy or sell other people's children.
A few of the victims from outside died, but they were already dying of illness after they arrived, and they died within a few hours.Those who followed were also well taken care of.
It can be said that these are promoted by the magistrate of the county. From the top to control the merchants, from the bottom to spend a lot of money on the common people.These young masters and servants have been working all the time, and everyone is united in their hearts. Although life is difficult, they are all alive.
Mr. Qiu was a little shocked when he heard it. The number of people affected by the disaster in several other counties reached as many as [-] to [-].If it wasn't for such a big hole, he wouldn't be held accountable by the superiors!
Master Qiu didn't expect the magistrate to do this, but he was more disturbed.The person in his hands is too capable, and he is not his person. Does this not make him even more incompetent?
He said involuntarily: "Everyone is under house arrest and under house arrest. No one is allowed to go out."
The county magistrate's face changed when he heard this. Although he knew that they were coming in a menacing manner, it was the first time he had seen them being completely unreasonable.
The magistrate said: "Why?"
Master Qiu said: "Master's death is strange. After many investigations, it is said that you killed your colleagues and emptied the county treasury for disaster relief. Who knows if you are really doing disaster relief or moving to your own home?" But the imprint that cannot be washed off: "I want to investigate it myself."
The county magistrate was annoyed by his shameless and savage way of judging the case: "There is no excuse for accusing him of a crime."
Seeing that they still have to resist.Master Qiu's twenty subordinates were not vegetarians either, so they immediately drew their swords.
Master Qiu specially brought these people with high martial arts skills.The shining sword had a cold glow, which made people frightened just looking at it.
Master Qiu scolded loudly: "Why, you don't even listen to Shangguan's words, do you want to rebel?"
The county magistrate saw that one hat of the other party was bigger than the other, so he had to swallow his anger and tell He Zifeng and Zhu Butou that they were locked in one room, while the other room was locked up by government servants.
Zhu Butou's face was also a little ugly. Master Qiu was playing for real this time. Since he wanted to arrest them and ask for some mistakes, it was not easy. Even if they didn't, they could still "create" some.
He Zifeng said to the magistrate: "My lord, are you all right this time?"
The magistrate of the county said: "It's careless." He just wanted to fix the one-acre three-point land under his jurisdiction.Unexpectedly, the surrounding county government is almost rotten, and they don't want to solve the problem, they just want to blame each other.
He didn't have time to prepare, and now it's too late even if he thinks about it temporarily.
I can only hope that my servants and servants will find out that something is wrong, and hurry up to rescue him.
It's a pity that he was not very lucky. After a while, he heard that the boy came to the county government with his servants to look for him, but he threw himself into the trap and was caught and thrown with them.
This time I completely cut off contact with the outside world.
The county magistrate said to them: "So they are waiting for me here." No one came to investigate whether it was reporting the matter of the master or the snowstorm before. It may be that they were selected early as scapegoats.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Mr. Qiu can't spend it with them until the Chinese New Year, it is estimated that the results of the processing will come out in just a few days.Right now, we still need to think of a way.He Zifeng said to Zhu Butou, "Xie Rui is available."
They can't get out now, but Xie Rui is the son of the Xie family.If he wasn't at Xie's house, he would definitely be in a hurry.In this way, they have the opportunity to communicate with outsiders.
Zhu Butou immediately understood what He Zifeng meant, but they were imprisoned in two houses.The rooms are next to each other, and He Zifeng likes to carry a silver dagger with him. It looks inconspicuous, and it can save lives when hidden in his sleeve.
Then I watched He Zifeng start digging a hole with a dagger in the gap in the wall. The dagger was very sharp, and a round hole was dug out in a short while.
Only the width of two fingers.But through the small hole, another room can already be seen.Someone was guarding outside, not letting them go out.The magistrate then handed a note to the window.
The other party quickly received the note, and then heard that Xie Rui said that his stomach hurts and he wanted to go see a doctor.
Now is the critical moment for Mr. Qiu to "make" the confession. It's nothing for a small yamen servant to have a stomachache. Even if he dies in the house, he won't be let out.Sure enough, after a while, he heard the guard at the door telling him to be quiet.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, the Xie family sent someone to look for him.
Only then did the people present know that Xie Rui, the cowardly yamen servant, was actually the son of the Xie family. The Xie family and the Gong family each held half of the county's business circles. They really underestimated him before.
The person from Xie's family is more experienced, he only said that his young master has diarrhea, and it's okay to send a doctor to take care of him.
The subordinates reported to Mr. Qiu, who snorted and said, "There are so many things." However, the other party Zhiqu sealed 200 taels of silver and said, "Just send the doctor in, and no one is allowed to go out." He said At the most important moment now, the wind cannot be leaked.
"Yes." The subordinate agreed.
