When the two separated, they actually discussed it.

"Brother Zhang, although the border guard brothers are looking at the Tai family's face, we have received benefits after all, and we can't take advantage of others in vain." Village Chief Liu's eyes wandered and he said tentatively, "I will let the villagers kill them tomorrow. Serve ten chickens and pick some vegetables."

"Yes, yes, I also have this plan." Village Chief Zhang responded even more generously, "Also, the patrol teams from our village will come together and be dispatched by the border guards to facilitate the guarding of the corn field."

"After the corn is harvested, we still have a pig. I will kill it and send it to the border army brothers." "Then I will send the goat from home to make mutton soup for the border army brothers!"

The two of them made many promises one after another like a competition, and finally went home in a hurry!
Early the next morning, before the women in Taijia Village could gather vegetables, Liujia Village sent chickens, ducks and vegetables over first, and Zhangjia Village also sent word that it would be their turn tomorrow.

Of course, the Tai family was happy to see the success and thanked them one after another. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Tai Yonglu, Tai Yongyue, and Chen Ruiyang followed suit, dripping with sweat.

The old man brought Zhuzhu to deliver boiled water, and the boys drank a lot.

Tai Yonglu asked, "Grandpa, what did Third Grandpa say to Village Chief Zhang and Village Chief Liu last night? They were actually willing to send their chickens and ducks to Uncle He and the others to eat!"

"Yes, that Village Chief Liu was so bad, and now he wants to stick to our family. He looks so scary." Tai Yongyue also supported him.

Mr. Tai did not answer, but asked Chen Ruiyang, "Ruiyang, do you know why?"

Chen Ruiyang was holding Zhuzhu in his arms, and Zhuzhu was chewing on a snail. The debris fell everywhere. He helped pat it carefully, and pulled off the handkerchief to wipe Zhuzhu's hands.

When the old man asked, he smiled and responded, "Grandpa, I don't know what the third grandfather said to Village Chief Zhang and Village Chief Liu, but my uncle once taught me. He said, if you want to do something, If things go smoothly, then make your own affairs become everyone's affairs, and it will naturally be convenient for everyone.

"For example, if I'm driving a carriage through a riot, if I ask everyone to help me get out of the way, I'm afraid no one will pay attention to me. But if I shout, the horse will be frightened, so be careful to bump into it, and everyone will avoid it! "

With snacks in her mouth, Zhuzhu asked vaguely, "Brother Ruiyang, why are you frightening the horses? Is it because the horses are not well-behaved? Let Dahei take care of them!"

Chen Ruiyang laughed, hugged the fat girl, weighed it, and said, "Okay, our Dahei is the most powerful, the king of horses! If there is a bad horse, let it teach you a lesson."

The old man and others also laughed, and the old man praised, "Ruiyang is right, that's the truth. People are all looking for themselves, and it is difficult for them to help others, but they are very willing to protect themselves from getting hurt and not suffering losses.

"That's it this time. As long as they know that someone is planning to rob the corn seeds, they have suffered for a year in vain and can't save a penny. They themselves will become anxious and take the initiative to join forces to resist the foreign enemies."

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue nodded vigorously, consciously learning some skills.

People's hearts are complicated. It's really a lifetime of living and a lifetime of learning!

Not to mention how busy Taijia Village was in order to protect the fruits of victory, but the news was also heard in the county. After all, the two hundred soldiers were not invisible. If someone saw it, if the rumor spread, it would naturally attract attention.

Someone who was well-informed asked about the purpose of these soldiers, and finally the exact answer came from the county government.

It turns out that a Rakshasa's Xizuo passed through the border and ran near Tai'an. These soldiers came to capture Xizuo.

Therefore, when this matter was mentioned in restaurants, they were filled with indignation.

"When will these damn yellow men stop?" "That's right, they have been worried about our Wei Dynasty's chassis for so many years, and they have never given up their evil intentions!"

"It's bitter cold there and almost no crops grow. They see us as rich and want to take advantage."

"It stands to reason that it is easy to identify. If he can pass the border inspection, could it be that Huang Maozi had a bastard with a traitor from Wei Dynasty?"

"That's not certain. I heard that Xizuo is hiding in the mountains to the south, and the border guards are stationed at the foot of the mountains. We'd better not go into the mountains recently. It would be troublesome if we encounter him."

"Yeah, I was thinking of going to the mountains to hunt some furs, but I'm afraid I'll be in trouble."

Everyone was chattering lively, thinking that they had obtained first-hand information, and they were all very proud of it.

As a result, in the backyard of the county government office, the county magistrate who really knew the truth was like an ant on a hot pot, and he was very upset!

There was a basket of corn sticks placed in front of him. The golden color made everyone happy, but it also made the county magistrate angry!

This was sent by the people below. He understood the real intention of the border guards in Tai'an almost at the first glance!

No matter what the details are, they are obviously here for the corn!
The imperial court's deprivation of rations from the border troops was not a secret. The people did not know about it, but he, the county magistrate, knew it.

Of course he felt aggrieved by the border guards. After all, his peaceful life was achieved by the border guards sticking to the border.If the border is lost, he will be the first to be unlucky!

But he was just a small county magistrate. He was so humble that when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties, no one knew where Tai'an was, and they couldn't help him even if they wanted to.

Now, he is planning to donate corn to Kyoto. Maybe after squeezing out all the merits, there won't be much left on his head. He can be transferred back to Kyoto or promoted to a first-class official position.

As a result, the border guards also discovered corn, and even planned to plant it on a large scale next year.

He didn't know what the general was planning, but as long as he reported it to the court, the court would definitely find ways to stop it. He didn't want to lose an important means of controlling the border guards...

The housekeeper who was guarding the door felt very strange when he saw his master picking up the corn and putting it down again, but he did not dare to ask.

After a long while, the county magistrate finally spoke and ordered, "Put this basket of corns in the warehouse, and remember not to mention it to anyone."

"Yes, sir." The housekeeper agreed immediately. Just as he was about to leave with the basket, he heard the county magistrate say, "Where's Madam?"

"I'm watering the orchids, because you like it, sir. Madam has to take care of those orchids every day, and no one else can believe it." The housekeeper took the opportunity to compliment his mistress, and as expected, the magistrate's face improved a lot.

He waved his hand, indicating to the housekeeper to get busy, and then went to find his wife...

Not to mention how the county magistrate was thinking, or how busy the Tai family village was, it was just that the general sent an extra person back to the general's mansion in Kyoto, not to miss his family, but to raise money.

Tens of thousands of kilograms of corn seeds must not be exchanged for sorghum, because food shortage is a permanent problem for the border troops. They themselves are not full, so there is no surplus food to exchange.

But if you buy it with silver, there is no such thing in the army! (End of chapter)
