Datang Nongwang

Chapter 162 Good News
The grain rent that Li Zhuang received this year was more than [-] shi.

So much food, all pushed in the warehouse, is really a lot.

Fortunately, the warehouse was built big.

Although the warehouse is only worse than the small courtyard where Li Chongyuan lives, it can also be said to be the best stone house in Lizhuang.

after all.

The rent collected every year has to be temporarily stored in the treasury.

If the warehouse is not built better, like other houses in the village, then the grain received in the warehouse will be ruined.

"Xiao Langjun, Xiao Langjun, the food has been weighed, and the rent has been collected. This is the account book. Look at it." Qiao Su and the others took the account book and came to Li Chongyuan's small courtyard again.

At this time, Li Chongyuan was writing and drawing with a pen and paper.

Speaking of this.

It took Li Chongyuan a lot of effort to make the pen in his hand.

What pen?

Of course it is hard pen.

It is too troublesome to carry a writing brush with you, so Li Chongyuan thought of making a hard brush.

And this hard pen is actually cut in half with a branch and hollowed out in the middle.

Then grind the whole strip of graphite into thin strips, and finally inlay the thin graphite strips in the middle, and then stick them with adhesive. After tying them up, let them dry in the sun for a few days, and it becomes a hard pencil in his hand.

Whether it works or not, only Li Chongyuan knows.

Li Chongyuan took the account book and said: "You have worked hard, sit down and drink a bowl of tea first, I will look at the account book first."

After Li Chongyuan looked at the account book carefully, he recalculated again.

It is found that the output of these grains in Lizhuang this year is actually more than one place higher than in previous years.

Immediately, Li Chongyuan said happily: "That's right, I, Li Zhuang, collected more than 500 shi this year, and Renzi also collected more than 550 shi. The grain output will never exceed [-] shi, and with so much grain harvested this year, it seems that we will have to plan more carefully next year."

"Yes, Mr. Li, the grain output of my village in previous years was indeed below [-] shi. In recent years, it has become less and less. Last year it was less than [-] shi." Qiao Su responded quickly after hearing the sound.

"Xiao Langjun, do you think it's time to write a good news to the old lady?" At this time, the accountant suddenly interjected.

When Li Chongyuan heard this, he thought to himself that it was a good thing the account manager reminded him.

They came to Lizhuang to help.

Li Zhuang has a bumper harvest this year, which is a great joy.

and.

When the old lady opened the sickle last time, she made a special trip to Li Zhuang.

Before the old lady left, she also specifically confessed to Li Chongyuan that as soon as the food was put into storage, she had to be notified.

But this year Li Zhuang has such a bumper harvest, so it is natural to use good news.

Immediately, Li Chongyuan told Qiao Su: "Guan Qiao, quickly get a piece of red paper and write out the happy news, so that Dadu can be sent back to Chang'an in time."

After Qiao Su got the words, he hopped back on crutches.

good news.

Of course you have to use red paper.

of course.

If it's a royal occasion, it's yellow.

Moreover, there are several types of yellow.

Like golden yellow, deep yellow, light yellow and so on.

After all, yellow is the color of the royal family, and ordinary people can't use it.

Even Li Chongyuan and the others can't use it indiscriminately.

What can be used, except red, is only red.

Actually speaking.

At the moment, apart from white being unusable, other colors are also acceptable, such as this green, which is basically no problem to use.

only.

Li Chongyuan is a little displeased with the green super.

After all, looking at this green, it feels a bit like an old man in the countryside passed away in his previous life.

Even the officials above the court, dressed in green official uniforms, looked as if Li Chongyuan had green on their bodies, just like wearing a green hat on their heads.

The good news is not great.

But not small either.

The finished good news was sent to Chang'an in a hurry.

As for the account managers and servants who came to Lizhuang to help, they would naturally stay in Lizhuang for a meal before they left.

and.

Li Chongyuan, the young gentleman, had to give them rewards.

This is the rule.

Similarly, rewards will be distributed to each household in Lizhuang to show gratitude for the hard work of harvesting the grain.

At the same time, it also represents a kind of joy.

in such an era.

There are many rituals.

It's like when Li Chongyuan opened up wasteland, he had to sacrifice.

Or before any action on the land.

And the same is true for the crops and food.

"Happy news!!! Happy news!!!"

Da Du rode fast all the way, and Feng Chi hurried back to Chang'an.

Inside Chang'an City.

Horse riding is generally not allowed.

Even the Li family members are not allowed.

As soon as Dadu entered Chang'an City, he had no choice but to dismount and leave the horse in the livestock pen not far from the city gate.

Dadu, who was rushing all the way, shouted the happy news loudly on the streets of Lifang before reaching his home.

After hearing the word happy news, the people in Lifang thought that something had happened.

They all looked at the big belly.

"Where is the good news?"

"Who knows? Now is not the time for scientific research."

"Could it be a big family who gave birth to a child?"

The common people were discussing and inquiring.

Dadu didn't know at all that this time he returned to his family to announce the good news, but it aroused so many people's suspicions.

Dadu rushed to my house, the concierge of my house saw Dadu holding a big red paper and shouting the good news, so he rushed back to my house to inform the old lady.

Following the big belly, I saw the old lady, and after passing the happy news to the old lady, she was so happy that the old lady could hardly close her mouth from ear to ear.

The old lady's face was full of joy, she read the happy news once and then again, "Big belly, did Li Zhuang really collect so much food this year?"

Although the old lady knew that Li Zhuang would definitely have a bumper harvest this year, she never expected that Li Zhuang's harvest this year exceeded her estimate.

"Back to the old lady, the little one can't read, but when I came to deliver the good news, Mr. Xiao Lang also told me a number, saying that this year Li Zhuang collected a total of more than 500 shi, and the rent was also collected. More than 500 stones." Dadu quickly responded.

Of course, the old lady knew that Dadu was illiterate, so she didn't blame her, "Okay, okay, okay, it seems that the method of farming that Yuan'er said is really effective."

With so much grain harvested, this is only Li Zhuang.

of course.

Whether other people's fiefdoms or land property, it is basically impossible to collect so much grain.

The old lady was happy, not only because of the bumper harvest, but also because Li Chongyuan said that he would do the work of farmers.

before.

The old lady still had some opposing thoughts in her mind.

But when the good news came today, it can be said that she completely dispelled her thoughts.

"Mother, I'm going to Lizhuang." Just when the old lady was happy, Wan'er suddenly said that she was going to Lizhuang.
