Gong fight?Niang Niang, she dominated the cold palace by farming

Chapter 67 67
Song Qingzhai handed the imperial decree to Xu Ji. Xu Ji looked at it, chuckled, and turned to Nanny Wen: "Call Aji over here."

That was the little eunuch sent by Guo Shun to take care of the accounts, he was clever and meticulous.

Aji trotted over with a package on his back, first saluted everyone, then took off the package, took out the one marked with "A" on the envelope, and handed it to Feng Zhang with both hands.

It clearly states the actual receipt of 3 taels of silver on a certain day, month and day, how much is withdrawn on which day, how much is the balance, and so on.

Feng Zhang frowned, why did he spend so much?And it's completely useless!

He glanced at Xu Ji out of the corner of his eye, and thought to himself: Let's see how you turn around this time.

After a rough scan, I found that the 3 taels of silver were all used up two months ago. Is this a waste of money?It's not so fast to eat money, is it?
Aji presented the "B" account book with both hands.

Feng Zhang's expression changed, because what was written on it was the use of those silver taels, and every penny was clearly recorded.

The collapsed houses of villagers in Wan County need to be repaired, the problem of ration shortage needs to be solved, farm tools need to be distributed, canals, roads, trees, and grain need to be bought...

Money was needed everywhere, and none of the [-] silver was wasted, because the unit price of each item, as well as the discounted price for bulk purchases, were clearly marked.

The accounts after the 3 taels of silver were spent are still there, and they are still clearly recorded as before, but they are all marked with "credit".

There is also a short-term summary at the back: 4 taels.

Feng Zhang silently calculated and was sure.

Aji took out the "C" account book again, "Master Editor, here is the distribution of our Wan County's fields. It records the number of acres, as well as the types and quantities of crops. Please have a look."

Feng Zhang honestly took it over, carefully inspected it, and checked it in his mind. According to the amount of cultivated land in Wan County and the actual cultivation situation, the money spent is indeed not too much...

But why have I never seen the names of these grains?

His previous pride was gone, so he closed the account book and asked Xu Ji: "Master, I have something unclear and I want to ask for advice."

"Please speak." Xu Ji nodded, as long as the other party spoke human words, she would not be embarrassed.

Feng Zhang patted the account book, "There are many things recorded on it that I have never seen or heard before. I don't know what they are used for. What kind of grains do they belong to?"

Xu Ji chuckled: "You call an old farmer over and ask him what grain is, and he might not be able to answer.

"For them, as long as their stomachs are full and the fields are not idle, that's good.

"For example, the clothes Feng Bianxiu is wearing, you know what material they are made of and where they are made, but do you know how they are made?
"For an old farmer, he may be able to grow mage, but he may not be able to wear mage clothes all his life, let alone how fine the clothes made of mage can be.

"Does it mean that he can't do it if he doesn't recognize it?
"Similarly, the crops you don't know don't mean they can't feed people.

"You don't think that I come and go in the wind and rain, and live in a tent to feed mosquitoes, just to grow some useless things?"

Feng Zhang was at a loss for words.

Xu Ji sneered, "It seems that I really thought about it that way!"

Song Qingzhai whispered some instructions to Nanny Wen, and Nanny Wen turned around and brought a plate over.

The golden corn kernels are decorated with green and red beans and black sesame seeds, which is pleasing to the eye.

The key is the burst of sweetness, which is very tempting.
