The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

It was five o'clock in the morning, and it was still dark, but the lights in the kitchen in the front yard were already on.

It was Liu Niang who was already making breakfast.

Su He covered Miao Miao with a quilt and got up. There were a lot of things to do today and she didn't know when those officials would arrive, so she had to make preparations in advance.

"Mrs. Liu, cook all the meat and make it into meat buns. I want to eat corn buns today."

Su He picked a piece of meat from the storage room and handed it to Liu Niang, then went next door. She heard some noise next door.

"Good morning, Aunt."

Su He stood at the door, watching Zhou who was busy inside, and placed an oil lamp next to the stove.

"Good morning, Lotus, why did you bring the light from your house again? I can see clearly."

"My eyesight isn't as good as my aunt's. I have to light a lamp even for such a short distance."

Su He ignored her aunt's request to blow out the lights and found a small stool to accompany her.

"Aunt, what are we eating today?"

"Eat steamed buns. Your brother wants to eat some. I'll make more today."

Su He looked up at her aunt. Her eyes were red and swollen, but she looked much better.

"Okay, I'll have two too. Madam Liu is making corn buns. I'll ask her to bring some over later."

Zhou smiled and nodded, "Mrs. Liu is really capable and does a better job than me."

"No, my aunt's cooking is the best."

Zhou smiled happily, and while the two were talking, Jin also came.

"Guihua, why are you here? Wen Niang still needs you to take care of her."

Jin came in and started working, and Su He quickly gave up his seat.

"Hey, Wen Niang has Shengzi, the couple is so sweet, I can't interfere, I'd rather not be annoying, come here to chat with you."

Zhou rolled her eyes at her and said, "It's so cold, but you don't sleep on the kang, but come to chat with me. You are really capable."

"Sisters-in-law, I'm late."

Ma thought she had gotten up very early, but she found that there was already someone in the kitchen.

The three aunts were in a drama, and Su He could only sit on the side and warm himself by the fire.

When the steamed buns were cooked and everyone in the family had gotten up, Su He simply ate them here first.

"Uncle, why did you get up so early?"

"Not early. Shunzi said you asked him to talk to the village chief about the sweet potato yesterday. We will go to the village chief first to talk to him, and then go to the other two villages to discuss. We can't let the official wait for us."

In fact, Su He asked Shunzi to rush back yesterday in order to persuade the village chief to help her cover up her lie and confirm that Wang Ming came to buy sweet potatoes, and then inform her family to complete her story.

But my uncle obviously didn't want anyone to mention Wang Ming and Lin Xiaozhao anymore, so he just talked about the sweet potato instead.

Su He nodded, "Uncle, the sweet potatoes from Sanshi Village cannot be given to the Su family, or to those who bullied Miaomiao and Mu Tou, especially that fat guy. His family can only watch."

The fat guy was the one who knocked Miaomiao to the ground and wanted to sit on her neck. Su He didn't care whether he was a child who didn't understand things or not, she just couldn't allow him to bully her sister.

"I see. I think the village chief knows the answer. I asked Jingui to talk to Xu Yong from Dahe Village, but he can't give it to me either."

Several uncles took the steamed buns and left, and Wang Bin followed silently behind.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to comfort Wang Bin, and could even be said to have ignored him, which actually made Wang Bin feel relieved.

About half an hour later, everyone heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. It was the official coming.

What surprised Su He was that the man in black from yesterday was also here.

"Sir, you are here in person. You haven't eaten yet, right? I just made some steamed buns at home. Would you like to eat something before you do anything?"

The Zhou family members were a little nervous, and Su He walked forward to greet them with a smile.

The embroidered official was still dressed in black, but this time he didn't look as evil.

"My last name is Chen, you can just call me Lord Chen. We have all eaten. Ask your village chief to come over and tell me about your arrangements."

Lord Chen was riding on his horse and did not get off. Five constables in black followed behind him.

Su He compared their heights and felt that it was really inconvenient, so she invited a group of people to go to her aunt's kitchen, which was the warmest place.

"Sir, these are the sweet potatoes that produce 4,000 kilograms per mu. I roasted three of them. Let's share some."

Lord Chen was a little surprised when he smelled the roasted sweet potatoes. The smell was very tempting.

He picked the smallest one, scooped out a piece with chopsticks, and distributed the rest to his men nearby.

Su He took a few quick glances and saw that everyone was enjoying their meal, so he started talking about his plan.

"......Sir, this is my initial plan. My family has already notified the two neighboring villages, and they will be back soon."

Lord Chen nodded and said, "These sweet potatoes are sold at eight cents a pound. Starting next year, don't sell the sweet potatoes you grow to others. Keep them all for the government to collect."

"Yes, sir. What about the sweet potatoes from the two neighboring villages? Should we let them buy them themselves?"

"No, they don't have to buy. In previous years, they paid 35% of the harvest, but this time they pay 50%, and the remaining 50% belongs to them. If they want to sell, it's also eight cents a pound, and for now they can only sell it to the county government."

Su He nodded. This was not a loss. If the first-class field was used to grow sweet potatoes and taken good care of, it would surely yield more than 4,000 kilograms. Even if half of it was deducted, there would still be more than 2,000 kilograms. This was much better than growing wheat before, where the wheat yield per mu was only more than 500 kilograms.

With this calculation, the village chiefs of the two villages should be very happy.

Su Bingyi was indeed happy. When he heard about such a good thing, he immediately asked his family to kill a chicken. Today he wanted to entertain Hehua's uncle and cousin well.

"Hehua is a nostalgic child. I didn't expect she still remembered me."

Su Bingyi was very pleased. He felt that the thank-you gift from Su He for living in his house was enough. He didn't expect that this girl would think of him for such a good thing.

Wang Fugui nodded, "Of course I don't remember. Hehua always said that you, the village chief, are kind and righteous. I think there are about 3,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes distributed to us. We are not familiar with Sanshi Village, so you can make the decision. But Hehua said that she will not give anything to some people..."

Su Bingyi listened carefully and sighed in his heart. He thought his brother had really miscalculated. He should not have been so cruel in the beginning. How much rice could these two children eat? He took the money but didn't take good care of them. He offended people so much. Now he could only watch.

"Don't worry, Hehua. I know what's going on and will allocate the money properly."

Wang Fugui nodded with satisfaction, and the two of them gathered together to discuss things in the fields.

Village Chief Xu even poured the wine. "Good brothers, you are really capable. I am grateful to you. Come, I will toast you."

Wang Jingui responded with a smile, "We are both from the neighboring village. If there is something good, it must be for my brother. This sweet potato not only has an amazing yield per mu, but also tastes good. There is a small amount now, so you can try it when it is planted next year. It is more delicious than white flour."

Village chief Xu was stunned by these words. There actually existed such magical food in the world. He couldn't help wanting to eat it.

"However, we also have conditions for giving sweet potatoes."

"What conditions?"

Village Chief Xu's heart tightened. Could it be silver?

"You also know about Xu Yong's relationship with my family. My family said that we won't give them any money."

"this one?"

"this one."

Village Chief Xu breathed a sigh of relief. "Hey, this is nothing. I wouldn't give it to Xu Yong's family if you didn't ask. Two thousand kilograms, if I wasn't afraid that the villagers wouldn't agree, I would have bought it all myself. How could I possibly give it to him? Don't worry."

Wang Jingui smiled and nodded.

Su He waited for Wang Zhun to arrive and discussed the distribution of sweet potatoes with him.

"Why don't we start with me and my uncles? We have a lot of sweet potatoes, and we can sell them and send them to Sanshi Village."

Neither Mr. Chen nor the village chief had any objection.
