In the evening, everyone had dinner and came to the small dining hall for a meeting.

Liu Yaoqing said, "How is the situation of the children?"

"The situation at home is the same. They are still afraid of people and dare not see them. The two crazy ones are taken care of by their family members, and many doctors have been invited to see them."

The best situation is Xiao You'er, he looks no different from other children now, he is helping in the small dining hall now, and he also learns literacy and accounting at night, and he learns very quickly.

On weekdays, Xiao Youer likes to play with Brother Yu. He has the same experience as those children, but he is more willing to believe in the sun and is satisfied with the days ahead.

"En." Liu Yaoqing touched her chin and thought for a while, then asked Shen Congwu's situation.

Since he found Zhou's shop through Laiyang, arrested the people in the shop, tortured him for more information, and then told Shen Congwu, he waited for his group of people to lead them into the mountain.

When these men came out of Dan County, they immediately turned into captains and went to various military camps, no matter whether they were gang leaders or generals, as long as they were qualified, they were selected and trained.

This time I got the news, cooperated with the Yamen, went into the mountain, and found several hidden villages in the deep mountains, and wiped them out one by one.

Kill all the way to the beach.

The number of these teams varies, but they are different from other soldiers in terms of equipment and mobility. They show great power in one place, especially Shen Congwu, who becomes more and more fierce. He even fought against a general and narrowly won.

In recent years, apart from occasional border frictions, there have been no battles to fight.

For soldiers, if they want to climb up, they have to fight and make meritorious deeds, otherwise they can only stay in the barracks and be a small soldier.

But this time is different, as long as the physical condition is qualified, no matter what the status is, even a slave, if he is loyal, he can also reach the sky in one step.I heard that the captain of the team brought out by people like Shen Congwu was a saint, and the emperor knew them.

And almost every time they enter the mountains, they can make meritorious service. Even if these credits cannot be made public, the emperor knows that they must either be promoted or given other subsidies.

This is the credit that everyone dreams of, the fundamental pursuit of climbing, and no one will refuse.

There was a man who provoked someone, and the Shangguan found a reason to lock him up. In the end, Shen Congwu selected him and took the man away.When he came back a few months later, the man changed his identity and his status was raised, and he was exposed by his superior.

Many people see it in their eyes and are greedy in their hearts.

Whoever doesn't want to climb up will naturally have fewer people who can bully them, and maybe they can make meritorious deeds.

Everyone doesn't want to let go of this opportunity, but not everyone can go, just like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey. If you want to eat it, you can only run forward. You don't know when you can eat it. Never eat it.

"It's a credit."

"It's the same as that group of scholars."

"The opportunity I'm waiting for..."

Liu Yaoqing sent out the credit, if he was lucky enough to be selected, he would be able to get the credit and climb to the sky. If he made a great contribution, it would not be difficult to continue to climb up, and maybe he could be recorded in the history books in the end.

Therefore, all those who are selected are trying their best to encourage themselves.

Liu Yaoqing said: "Let's do this for the time being, and we'll talk about finding all the people. Later, you will divide into groups and disperse, and go to various places to collect corn, and the price will remain the same."

"Success." Brother Wolf and the others nodded in agreement.

The Zhou family has already been handed over to the people in the yamen, and the emperor directly controls them behind the scenes, and they are no longer needed at this time.

There are Shen Congwu and others outside. Since they choose to stay in Dan County, they must obey Liu Yaoqing's arrangement, even if what they are doing now seems to be just ordinary corn harvesting.

Seeing that these people agreed, Liu Yaoqing continued to say: "I asked you to do this, and you don't think it's just a trivial matter. The corn yield is high, and every household grows corn. Do you know how much they have in their granaries? It can be grown in a year. How much? With all the corn harvested, Dan County will definitely not be able to eat that much."

"In the future, you will all be released." Liu Yaoqing said lightly.

These people are the ones he asked the emperor to ask for, they can only be counted as half of Dan County people, and they will not stay in Dan County forever.

To a certain extent, they can represent the attitude of the government and the emperor. Liu Yaoqing will not be too deeply involved with them, but it is not completely clear of the relationship.

He has a grand plan in his heart, which he wants to slowly unfold.

The price of corn dropped again and again, to the point that [-]% of them could not accept it. Almost no one could have imagined that Liu Yaoqing would make the price of corn so low.

When the yamen promoted corn back then, the price was so high that it frightened people to death.

This thing can cook porridge, bake pancakes, and make steamed buns. It can be eaten in any way, and the output is extremely high. It looks like gold but not jade, and it is very beautiful.At that moment, he broke the corn from the field with his own eyes, and it really looked like handfuls of jade.

We all know that it is a good thing, but I always feel that the price must not be lowered, but I didn't expect it to become like this now.

Almost everyone didn't understand why Liu Yaoqing did this. Grain merchants wouldn't hoard corn now, but it would be useful for Liu Yaoqing to ask for corn, but he was desperately trying to lower the price of corn like a profiteer.

"Even if we tell the corn to rot at home, we won't sell it."

"It's a big deal that we won't grow corn next year, and we will all grow peanuts."

"No corn."

Many people think this way, but after finishing talking, I will look back and think about it. The same field must be a first-class field to grow peanuts, and it will eat a lot of fat. The peanuts that are ready may be sold for some money, but if you really have to calculate carefully, it is actually not as cost-effective as growing corn.

And if you don't grow corn, can your family still eat potatoes all year round?

Only by planting corn can a family with a large population fill their stomachs, otherwise they will have to be as hungry as before.

Therefore, corn must be planted, and it must be of various varieties.

But many people are unwilling to ask them to sell corn.

"Our family sells all the corn this year."

"But Dad, how much less will it cost?"

"Then what can I do? The price is set by Brother Qing, so it is more than those profiteers outside. If we don't sell it now, where do you get the money to go to school? Your elder brother is also waiting for money to get a wife, our family It's different from other people's homes, so I can't wait any longer."

Their home is far away from Dan County. When the price of corn was still high, there was a lot of corn in the house, so they didn't go to Dan County to sell it because they were worried about the road.

This time, people from the yamen said they were helping Liu Yaoqing collect the corn. Although the price was low, there was no need to send it to Dan County by himself.

Some large grain merchants will donate grain in the year of famine, and they have a good relationship with the yamen, and the yamen will take care of these people on weekdays.As for their relationship behind the scenes, it is not known to ordinary people.

Everyone in Dan County is used to asking people from the yamen to help.

It's just that those who help deliver the food seem to be wearing ordinary clothes, but their identities are not ordinary people, it's just that they don't let people know.

"Even if there are only two adults selling corn, it can solve the urgent need of our Dan County." Liu Yaoqing looked at the account book and said, "Hurry up and rub the feed, and feed the pigs and chickens."

"Now some roosters are ready to eat." Brother Zhezi said, "How many shall we catch?"

"to make."

The roosters grow faster than the hens, and they are only a circle bigger at first glance. Now they are all lying on their stomachs, because they often see people coming to put the feed, and they are not afraid of people, and they can grab them by bending down.

The chickens from the first year are tender and best fried.

In the evening Liu Yaoqing ate fried chicken and pondered: "It's time to call Gao Fugui to the meeting."

"I'll write a letter." Brother Zhezi said.

Once the letter was sent out, the people at Gaofugui knew that this meeting basically had no other major events this year.

This time, there is no need to arrange special people in the house. The people who live here, Brother Ying, cleaned up while they were resting, and Liu Yaoqing didn't ask them to work for nothing, and directly exempted them from the ten-day accommodation fee .

The standard is to wipe the floor once, bring out the tables, chairs, wooden basins, etc., and scald them with boiling water, and wipe the beds. After the room is dry, close the door.

Every night after work, Brother Ying would go to the dining hall to fetch boiling water, come to the house to tidy up a room, and then go back to sleep.

It was the first time he had seen such a neat and tidy house when he grew up, so he still had to scrub it and scald it with boiling water.When the guests came that day, they had to go to the warehouse to get the quilts and sheets, etc., which had been exposed to the sun recently, and the quilts Ying Geer made were the same as these.

After cleaning a room, Brother Ying put on his shoes at the door, and looked back carefully.

Although he spent less money to live in the Datong shop, Brother Ying recently heard from the deputy manager that he seemed to have to choose a deputy manager in a few days, and he felt that he should be able to do it.

Even if he is not selected, Brother Ying still wants to live in such a separate house, so that he can learn to read and write at night, without the inconvenience of doing anything because he lives in Datongpu.

Others also began to think about it in private. Brother Ying didn't take it seriously at first, but now seeing such a house where he lived alone, he was naturally moved.

I heard that the stewards from Shanggu village, as well as steward Su Qi and others, some of them share a room with each other, and some of them live in a room by themselves. They are very comfortable and can do more things.

Thinking of this, Brother Ying came back to the Datong shop to take a rest, wondering if there was any acquaintance sharing a room.

The day came quickly, and Gao Fugui was the first one to bring a lot of corn. The others also brought corn as much as they could, all harvested from the village.

Naturally, someone led them to the house to make arrangements, and it was not the first time for everyone to come here, and they were already familiar with it.

Once settled, go to the dining hall for dinner.

It wasn't until the evening that Liu Yaoqing found some free time, brother Zhezi pushed the small cart, Bai Niangxian tossed about for a long time inside, and finally fell asleep.

"Thank you for the corn you sent." Liu Yaoqing said happily, "I'm calling everyone here this time to talk about the arrangements from this year to next year."

Everyone cheered up, thinking that Liu Yaoqing was going to toss something new again.

"The potatoes will continue." Liu Yaoqing said, "The supply of fried chicken next year will be relatively stable..."
