Hua Nongying

With the help of the county magistrate, Song Ying pinched the brush and calculated on the paper. "One tael of silver can buy two stones of rice. One stone is about 95 kilograms..." He lay down on the back of the paper and wrote 190 kilograms. "Two stones of rice is 380 catties! Are there hundreds of people on Yuduo Peak?"

Although the county magistrate didn't know what the city lord's wife was doing, he bowed very cooperatively and replied: "In total, there are about 370 people."

"Well..." If a person counts by one catty per day on average.Just throw it away and count three hundred and eighty, and you need one tael of silver a day.Then the next spring will start, and it will take at least four to five months until the crops mature.Song Ying finally concluded that she needed about 30 taels of silver in one month, and 150 taels in five months.

Suddenly, he felt that when the Monclos hijacked him last time, he opened his mouth for 10 taels. Now Song Ying realized that they didn't really want to negotiate with Huajiang from the beginning.

In addition to the bank note that Tourmaline Dust gave him at the bottom of the box, I didn't know its purchasing power before.Now that it's calculated, Song Ying's mouth is about to burst into laughter, he is simply a hidden rich man.

At this time, a small yamen servant came to report again, saying that more and more bandits came down from the mountain and crossed the river. "They were all very emotional and asked us to hand over the food. Otherwise, they would die anyway, at least they would be a dead ghost. Because we obeyed Madam's order, our patrolling soldiers dared not do anything to them, but if this continues, it is really oppressive. Stop it!"

The county magistrate bowed his hands to Song Ying and asked, do you want to do something?Song Ying called Cheng Yiyang in.Confess to him and the county magistrate: "Since it is a stomach problem, let's start from the stomach!"

"Could it be that Madam is...?" The county magistrate actually wanted to say that so many people are not under our control.But Cheng Yiyang couldn't understand Song Ying's deep meaning.

Until, Song Ying instructed each of them, "Master Xian Cheng, go to the largest grain store in the local area to get three hundred catties of rice on credit first, in the name of the city lord's mansion, and then set up a pot to cook porridge on the spot. Cheng Yiyang finds a reliable guard, and takes Cai Take the clothes back to the City Lord's Mansion." Seeing that Caiyi wanted to refute, Song Ying looked at her and said, "I'll ask you to fetch something for me."

Only then did Caiyi suddenly realize that she bowed her head obediently and stood aside.

Seeing Song Ying's order to come here, even Cheng Yiyang knew what his wife was going to do, "Yes!" He immediately cupped his fists, turned and left.

The county magistrate stood aside and asked Song Ying for instructions: "Ma'am, will the lower officials do it immediately?"

"It has to be done, but before that, please communicate with the county magistrate quickly and negotiate with the leader of Yuduo Peak. See if he dares to come to see me alone, maybe I have a way to feed them winter."

"My subordinate understands!"

With Cheng Yiyang on guard outside, Song Ying guessed that there should be no need to worry too much.But this temporary inn is not as comfortable as the city lord's mansion.Just say that this warm basin is not warm enough.After Song Ying roughly ate a bowl of hot porridge and side dishes, her eyelids began to fight.But as soon as my feet retracted to the head of the bed, I felt uncomfortable, because the quilt and bed board were really too cold.

Just as he was about to order the guards outside to bring some hot water to burn his feet, there was a noise outside first.Only the sound of several people's footsteps stepping on the stairs was heard, and then someone whispered something to the guard standing outside.There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Song Ying wrapped herself in a quilt.

There was a moment of silence outside the door, and Cheng Yiyang's voice came: "Ma'am, Zhao Yue from Yuduo Peak is begging to see you!"

who? "Now?"

"It's just outside Madam's room."

Anyway, Song Ying didn't take off her clothes, even so he still felt cold.So he got out of bed and put on the sable fur and said, "Come in!" After saying that, he walked towards the table.

Cheng Yiyang pondered for a while outside again, and said, "Why don't you take them to the hall to wait for your wife?"

Song Ying's mind was in a daze for a while, thinking that walking might really make her feel warmer.He readily agreed, "That's fine too!"

In fact, Cheng Yiyang felt very broken in his heart for his wife's casual attitude.And the Zhao Yue he brought over is in charge of Yuduo Peak.

Before Song Ying ordered the county magistrate to go down, she had a conversation with Zhao Yue. When Zhao Yue heard it, he slapped the table and said, as long as there is a way to break the siege of Yuduo Peak, even if it is to go to Longtan and Tiger's Den.

However, it was rumored that the Lord of the Gucheng City married a male wife, but when he saw it with his own eyes, and even more so when he saw all the soldiers in the Gucheng respectfully call him his wife, this young and upright leader of Yuduo Peak There are also some who can't adapt.

Song Ying just went down the stairs when she saw the young leader.About less than 30 years old, with a height of 1.9 meters, he looks very burly.Perhaps because of living in the mountains all year round, his skin is particularly dark.The clothes all over the body are also worn in sevens and eights, which are composed of animal skins or coarse cloth.

Song Ying looked at his traces, and the other party also looked at Song Ying.After the two were polite to each other, Song Ying took the lead in making a gesture of invitation to him. "sit!"

Cheng Yiyang, holding his long sword, hit Song Ying as soon as she went downstairs, and never left her.As if afraid of the other party's sudden attack.

Song Ying was thinking about how to speak, but the other party said directly, "We need food!" Song Ying was amused.

"Hahaha, this leader Zhao..." But he was really impolite, "Actually, you are not the people of our isolated city, so why come to ask for food as soon as we meet. Besides, you are still here to grab food?"

Zhao Yue went straight to the point and said: "Zhao is grateful to the wife of the city lord for taking pity on me, the old and the young, on Yuduo Peak, and gave me hot porridge. But just one or two meals can't solve our problem. If it is not forced, who can do nothing? Don’t want to lie on the mountain and wait for the Spring Festival? What’s more, it’s under the jurisdiction of the Lord Hua.” Seeing Song Ying nodding, Zhao Yue continued: “To tell you the truth, madam, Zhao really didn’t mean to hurt people’s lives for the truth, otherwise all the old and weak would be killed. If women and children take the lead, wouldn’t that just let them die? I really have no choice. I hope Madam will forgive Zhao’s recklessness, as long as Madam solves the difficulty of Yuduo Peak, I will not hesitate to ask Zhao to go through fire and water.” Side said Bian got up and knelt down for Song Ying.

"Don't!" Song Ying stopped him halfway and persuaded him to return to his seat.

Speaking of this, Song Ying saw this leader Zhao, and grabbed his hair that was so oily that it was about to tangle.I don't know how long it hasn't been washed.Even the county magistrate who was standing aside couldn't stand it and retched.

"So you don't really want to fight?" Song Ying asked.

"Of course!" The young leader nodded.

"In this way" Song Ying sent someone to pass a piece of paper to Zhao Yue, "on it is a rough calculation of all the items you will need if you are subsidized for the winter. And convert it into the amount that you will spend in cash, you have a look at it. "

Zhao Yue looked embarrassed, Song Ying saw it, and said to him: "I guess, Yuduo Peak should not be able to produce so much cash. Therefore, the City Lord's Mansion can extend a helping hand to you." Before the other party was surprised, Song Yingqiang said first: "But... there must be conditions!"

Zhao Yue smiled with such an expression.Song Ying also responded with a joke: "After all, there is no free lunch in the world."

"Please tell me, madam, Mr. Zhao is all ears." Zhao Yue hurriedly said solemnly, anyway, if the conditions offered by the other party were unreasonable, he would have no choice but to...

Song Ying waved to the county magistrate, and the other party handed out another piece of paper to Zhao Yue.Song Ying explained her doubts: "This is an IOU, and the amount of the IOU is of course the expenses of Yuduo Peak until next year's harvest. I will give you an example of how to repay it. You can return the bank notes, or Use the market price to convert the item to offset. Of course, I don't ask you to return the time limit and charge you interest."

Song Ying spoke dryly here, but Zhao Yue just opened his mouth wide.Until a young man handed Song Ying a bowl of water, after he drank it.Only then did he dare to confirm carefully: "What Madam said before, is it true and absolutely not false? And you won't take our interest?"

"There's one last key point, I haven't said it yet." Song Ying smiled menacingly at the other party, making Zhao Yue frown directly.

"Before you repay this debt, the City Lord's Mansion has the right to make three demands on you."

"What kind of requirements?" Sure enough, this is the most important.

Song Ying shook her head at him, "I haven't thought of this yet, I'll bring it up when I think about it. Is it okay?" Of course, Song Ying has to hand over the right to make three demands to Hua Jiang. First, he doesn't understand the current situation. .Secondly, all the requests he could think of were indeed cheap enough.What's more, he has nothing to ask for now.

When Zhao Yue saw Song Ying shaking her head, all her anticipation was lost. "Madam, if this request is made at this time, I may still have room for reincarnation. But if I agree to it first, won't our Yuduo Peak be all in your hands in the future, and let it be rounded and flattened?" If it's just him alone, it's not a big deal, this matter can be related to the lives of hundreds of people.Therefore, Zhao Yue thought to himself, there are only two roads in front of him at this moment.

One is, at this time, fight to the death and grab food with them.At most some people die.The second is that when they make unreasonable demands one day, the situation will be out of his control.

Song Ying folded her arms amusedly, looked at the other person's constantly changing expression, and thought, this person looks reckless, but in fact he is more careful. "Leader Zhao's worries, in fact, have already been thought of when I drafted the evidence. In this way, I guarantee that I will not make excessive demands, such as murder and arson, and will never make it difficult for you to do things on Yuduo Peak?" Looking at the other party As if she didn't trust him, Song Ying said again: "Maybe I can add this to the document." After finishing speaking, Song Ying raised her pen and wrote on it.

In this way, this time the battle incident caused by the food was almost closed.The most important thing is that Song Ying asked Caiyi to go back to the city lord's mansion and sell all the things that Huajiang rewarded him.Only one piece of his favorite turquoise pendant was left.

At noon on the second day, Caiyi finally arrived, which Song Ying had longed for.She said to Song Ying with the silver ticket in her hand: "Master, I sold it for 3000 taels of silver, 3000 taels. But it was all exchanged for silver tickets by slaves."

"Good girl!" Song Ying's eyes almost lit up.With the bank notes, he can help Yuduofeng purchase grain from outside.

Moreover, it is also selfish for him to let Caiyi go back to sell those expensive things.I think the old lady and the old lady rewarded him with too many goodies, so he couldn't just take them out and sell them.But this time should be considered a special case, right?So he specially selected the things sent by Huajiang to sell, and if the city lord asked about it... "Hey hey hey!"

At this moment, Song Ying didn't feel cold or cold.Anyway, there is a bank note in hand.And it's not a small sum.
