The little peasant girl of Tianjia is mysterious and sassy

Chapter 65 Food Seed Disturbance
Futai County Government Office

Ren Zilin said angrily: "There is an official document from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The price of grain seeds in Zhao State has increased again this year. Every catty of wheat seeds needs to be exchanged for ten catties of grain. The most annoying thing is that only our Chu State has to exchange ten catties , Jin and Yan only need to exchange six catties!"

Ren Zilin was really angry. It would be fine if the exchange prices of the other two countries were the same as that of Chu, but why is it so expensive to exchange in Chu?

Zhao Guo and Chu Guo are still in-laws!

Their talented, intelligent, young and beautiful princess married far away and became the concubine of that bad old man in Zhao!

The eldest princess was only 16 years old when she got married!

But the tyrant of Zhao Guo is already 50 years old!

The poor princess has had three miscarriages in recent years.

I don't know what kind of torture I was subjected to.

Over the years, Wei Feng and the crown prince broke into Zhao's palace many times, trying to rescue her, but both of them almost lost their lives, but the eldest princess refused to leave.

Why, I am afraid that Zhao Guo will send troops under the pretext of sending troops, and the people will suffer!
These are all the emperor's fault, and they should have fought back then, but the emperor sent the eldest princess to be married, and promised to pay tribute every year.

Damn, he wished he could fight!
The more you back down, the more you will be bullied!

Ren Zilin did not dare to mention the Eldest Princess in front of Chu Tiankuo. He said: "The Ministry of Households urges the county magistrates to report the amount of grain needed as soon as possible, so that Zhao Guo will not go back on his word when it is too late. Damn it, it's already too late , it’s almost autumn harvest, and this year is so late, the tyrant of Zhao State is deliberately bullying our Chu State! I don’t know if the food exchanged can catch up with the autumn seeds!”

Chu Tiankuo didn't speak. He looked at the official documents on the table. He didn't have much expression on his face, but he exuded a terrifying aura.

As long as Zhao Guo was mentioned, he would think of Huang Jie.

Ren Zilin didn't dare to say anything more, he quietly stared at his face, and whispered: "Well, how many grains will Futai County buy this year?"

With a cautious look on his face.

"Twenty thousand." Chu Tiankuo responded lightly.

He thought of corn.

The corn with a maximum yield of [-] jin per mu cannot be planted until the next year.

Although the number of seeds coming out of the Lingzhu is limited, it is not enough for so many people in Chu State.But as long as we get through this year, another year will be much better.

Farming in Chu State is very underdeveloped. The grain yield in Chu State is only about 300 catties per mu. Nearly [-] catties is considered a bumper harvest, which is very rare.

Among the four countries, the country of Zhao has the highest grain output. In addition to the fertile land, the country of Zhao also has a powerful agricultural official. They were all cultivated by an agricultural official in Zhao State.

Therefore, Zhao Guo sells grain seeds to the four countries every year in exchange for more grain.

Zhao Guo did not charge money for selling grain seeds, but only grain. One catty of grain seeds needed to be exchanged for six to ten catties of grain.

Zhao Guo also became the country with the most grain storage and the lowest taxation among the four countries because of the sale of grain seeds.

Ren Zilin nodded: "That's my plan too. Then I'll write back to Beijing now."

In the past, Futai County could not get this figure. After all, the most types of grain that the imperial court exchanged from Zhao was only 60 million catties.In the past, Futai County could only get [-] catties of grain seeds at most.Then each household will share one catty, and the one with the highest price will get the rest.

But this year he is the county magistrate here, so it is still possible to take an extra [-] catties.

But at most, they can only take [-] catties more. Now that the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, there is not much grain in Futai County, and there is not enough grain to exchange.

As for the grain seeds, it is necessary to prepare the grain for Zhao Guo first, exchange it in advance, and sow the seeds after the autumn harvest.

It takes a lot of time for the transactions between the two countries to come and go. If they are not changed in advance, the planting will be delayed.

Regarding the matter of grain seeds, he thought that the previous county magistrate had written a letter, but he didn't expect it to be so late.

At this time, Li Yong hurried in: "My lord, there are official documents in Beijing!"

Chu Tiankuo stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

Li Yong knew that this master had the trust of the county magistrate, so he gave the official document to Chu Tiankuo, and then withdrew it tactfully.

Chu Tiankuo took a look at the Jiwen and said, "There's no need to send the letter."

Ren Zilin paused: "What's wrong?"

Chu Tiankuo gave him the letter.

Ren Zilin took it over and took a look. The general content of the official document is: the household department has completed the exchange of grain seeds with Zhao Guo, and the grain seeds are already on the way back. Counties that did not submit the letter in time do not need to prepare grain to go to Beijing. This year, the imperial court only exchanged 40 catties of grain from Zhao Guo, and there is no surplus grain.

Ren Zilin was stunned for a moment, but didn't understand for a while: "Didn't the official document from the Ministry of Household Affairs for the counties to report just arrived? Why did the official document come down so soon to ask the counties to prepare grain and go to Beijing to exchange food?"

There is a time difference of more than ten days between these two official documents, right?Shouldn't have arrived on the same day!
Chu Tiankuo did not speak.

Ren Zilin figured it out instantly!

He couldn't help kicking the legs of the desk: "Shangshu Hubu, that son of a bitch!"

Hubu Shangshu is from the second prince's school.

It must be that the Liang family knew that they were the county magistrate here, so they deliberately delayed the release of the first official document. Now the two official documents arrived one after the other on the same day. This was not deliberately teasing him!

He has only been in office for a few days, and he needs to submit a letter every year to buy grain seeds. Although he knows, he thinks that the previous county magistrate has already written a letter.

After all, it was almost autumn harvest when he took office.

It's fine to tease him, how can you make fun of the rations of the people in a county, it will kill people!

He looked at Chu Tiankuo: "What should we do now?"

If there is no high-yield grain for the people, big things will happen!
Chu Tiankuo squeezed the silver bead in his hand and said calmly, "What do you think?"

Ren Zilin: "How about I let my father get some out?"

Otherwise, all counties will have high-yield grains to provide to the people, but Futai County does not have them, and there will be big troubles.

He has only been the county magistrate for a few days, and he hasn't done a single good thing, and he hasn't done the first thing that should be done for the people.

The members of the Liang family will definitely take this opportunity to give him a book in front of the emperor. It is not certain whether he can continue to be the county magistrate.

Haven't figured out what they want to investigate?
Of course, the most important thing is that he has to bring back some high-yield grain seeds for the people under his rule!

Chu Tiankuo shook his head: "No need."

Ren Zilin was stunned, "What do you mean by no need?"

Don't care?

This is a major event related to whether the majority of poor people will have food to eat in the next year!
All the crops grown in the Huangtian are high-yielding grains. His father leads soldiers to cultivate the Huangtian every year, and it should be no problem to even out some of them.

Chu Tiankuo said coldly: "Since Prime Minister Liang made a move, he will naturally have a follow-up. There is no need for General Ren to leave something for the people at Yushitai."

"Then I ask my father to borrow some from other counties in the capital?"

"No!"

It is natural for General Ren to borrow grain, but this cannot cover up their negligence in this matter.

Although the Ministry of Households issued the official documents late, there are many reasons for the late arrival of the official documents. Every year, spring plowing, autumn harvest and autumn planting are major events. As an order of a county, it is time to take the initiative to submit a letter to the Ministry of Households in advance when the time comes. ,just in case.

If you make a mistake, you will be wrong, and borrowing grain from other counties is nothing more than letting others bear their own mistakes.

Not advisable.

"Then what do you say?"

Chu Tiankuo stood up: "Look for grain seeds."

Ren Zilin: "."

Is not this nonsensical?Didn't he just say that he was looking for grain seeds?
