Chapter 121 The Yellow River Trading Point (11)
"The horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis means that the vertical axis represents quantity. There are numbers on it. Let's compare it with a ruler. Let's compare the counted numbers on the vertical axis on July 3. 77 people. This point is the number point that we came here that day." Liu Chong took the tool and gave lectures to officials and cadres in the county school and county government offices on the blackboard.
Liu Chong was in his early twenties, and most of the people who attended the lecture were older than Liu Chong, and he was basically frowning. After talking about this basic point, Liu Chong said to the magistrate: "Please come up and draw the coordinates of June 29."
Hearing this, County Magistrate Liu was not nervous. He stood up and walked to the front of the blackboard, picked up the chalk and started looking. After a while, he asked, "Is this horizontal axis time?"
"Yes." Liu Chong replied.
"June 29...June 29... Are these only June 25 and June 30?" Liu Zhixian asked.
"This is divided into five parts, and each vertical bar represents one day." Liu Chong explained. He had already said it before, and it was obvious that Liu Magistrate Liu did not remember this key point.
"Oh.5...5..." The magistrate lit the vertical bar below with his hands.
Such hard study made Liu Chong feel familiar. For him, the most painful thing was not the history, geography, modern Chinese, and even physics and chemistry that only require memory. The most difficult thing was mathematics. As Liu Chong's current teacher in the military and social management courses said, mathematics is to teach everyone to see the world from another perspective.
For example, this kind of coordinate axes looks very complicated to make. After mastering them, it is very simple to do, and you can tell the basic trends just by taking a look. With Liu Chong's feeling, the difficulty of mastering coordinate tools does not lie in the specific operation, but in how to see the world according to the model of this tool. Before Liu Chong learned this idea, he also felt uncomfortable when he looked at it. After learning it, he immediately felt comfortable when he looked at it.
"Six...6..., six is here." County Magistrate Liu finally pointed to the right position in a difficult position.
"Yes." Liu Chong was not anxious. When he was taking this course, he was initially anxious and blushed in his face and neck. The magistrate's calmness was much higher than that of Liu Chong. This magistrate Liu was the deputy battalion commander before, and was much better than Liu Chong's at that time when he was calm.
Liu Chong was able to be calm, but the people who were watching the fun were not so calm. Some people couldn't help laughing softly, and Liu Chong felt bored. What is such an incorrect attitude?
"Seven, eight, nine..., ninety-three, ninety-four..." The magistrate found a certain position and drew a dot on it.
When Liu Magistrate went down, Liu Chong called the guy who had just laughed, "Put it out the data for June 30th."
"Oh." The man picked up the pen and found the dot quite easily, and finally confirmed the dot.
This person is different from Liu Magistrate. He didn't ask, and just painted it himself. After he finished painting, Liu Chong said, "Check it out."
"What's wrong?" asked the man.
"You check it again." Liu Chong replied.
The man checked several times and frowned and replied, "Eighty-three, that's right."
"Look at what June 30 is."
After a closer look, the man suddenly realized. He quickly wiped off the dot and found the sixty-one. When he hurriedly finished the work, Liu Chong said, "Check it again."
Amid the laughter below, this person did not dare to stick to himself this time. He checked the numbers several times, but did not see the problem. In the end, he couldn't hold on his face, so he simply turned his head down. So he burst into laughter. Then he saw Liu Chong with a stern face and said, "You laugh now, but others will laugh at you later. I haven't learned it and practiced enough. It's normal for you to do this kind of thing. The one who laughs the loudest, it's time for you to come up!"
The man was laughing with his mouth open, and when he heard that he was about to go up, his smile immediately froze on his face. The others couldn't help but tease him, "Old Xu, go up, go up. It's your turn!"
"No, no, no, I can't do it. There are so many people, I don't need me." Lao Xu simply waved his hands repeatedly.
The magistrate Teng stood up and said to everyone: "Teacher Liu teaches, you can do whatever you want. Then he follows the battlefield and lets you rush forward, you have to rush forward. Lets you move forward, you retreat. Is this going to be a deserter!"
The magistrate's voice was stern, and the whole family calmed down. Lao Xu didn't dare to say anything, so he could only stand up and walk towards the blackboard reluctantly. Liu Chong looked at the magistrate with admiration, feeling that he didn't know when he could have such majesty.
Just before Lao Xu came on stage, the person who was laughing at Lao Xu suddenly ran up and modified the error. It turned out that he had got the right number this time, but the date was wrong. After the modification, he lowered his head and ran down, with a look of shame on his face. This caused another burst of laughter. Then, amid the greater laughter, Lao Xu walked to the blackboard like a punishment.
At first, everyone thought it was interesting to watch others "showing ugly", but when they were ridiculed, they couldn't hold their faces. Liu Chong was also a person who came here. He watched people's performances with interest. Soon he saw some differences from this live show. Some people are arrogant, and such guys basically learn very quickly. But the expression is really annoying. Some people just like to see something happening to people, and some people are just very simple instincts. There are basically no ones who are not affected. If there is, they are probably the magistrate.
So everyone passed the test, and then Liu Chong continued to talk about the following content and looked at the trend based on the direction of the diagonal line. After class, the group of people left one after another as if they were amnesty.
Liu Zhixian and Section Chief Liu stayed in the empty classroom. Liu Zhixian sighed: "Secretary Liu, do you think these people can learn it?"
Liu Chong shook his head, "It depends on whether everyone has the real need to use this tool. If they need it, they will definitely learn it. If they don't need it, I don't think anyone will really learn something useless."
"Secretary Liu, do you... want to come to our county?" Liu Magistrate asked.
Liu Chong felt a little proud in his heart. He knew that Liu Magistrate Liu was inviting talents. For the guys in the county that Liu Chong saw, no one could compete with Liu Chong. However, Liu Chong quickly suppressed his mood and said to Liu Magistrate Liu: "Magistrate, I thank you for looking down on me so much. I now have a workplace."
County Magistrate Liu was also moved for a moment. When Liu Chong refused, he sighed, "Oh... Then tell me, there are more or less people from the north."
Liu Chong just turned the topic to this point, "Liu Magistrate, this coordinate does not depend on the specific number, but on the table and calculation method. This picture shows how many people come every day..."
In the afternoon, Lao Xu went to Liu Magistrate to discuss some work. After the talk, he said angrily: "County Liu Magistrate Liu, this Section Chief Liu asked us to go up one by one. I think he is watching us joke!"
"What's so funny about this kind of public thing?"
"He can do it himself, we can't. Let's get up and be laughed at by others. Isn't this just a displeasure?"
After hearing this, Liu Zhixian said with a cold face: "This is the rule in our army. When giving lectures, everyone should be watched and learn. Just laugh if you laugh. We don't know. There is nothing that can't make people laugh."
Lao Xu was not from the army, and after hearing this statement, he was stunned. Everyone wanted to save face, so no one could laugh at him, and he felt that it was smooth. But this was the magistrate after all, and the magistrate was the first person to come to power, so Lao Xu had to say goodbye in the end.
After leaving, Lao Xu returned to the unit. He was in charge of agriculture. There were only four people in total. They only had one job, which was to promote new seeds in farmland near the county town. If it were in Hangzhou, Gusu, Qingyuan Prefecture (Ningbo), Songjiang Prefecture and other places, the agricultural department was a very important part. In the newly opened areas south of the Yellow River, people in this new department were like this. The superiors did not arrange special work for them.
As soon as he came back, Director Lu of the Taxation Bureau came, "Old Xu, why is this new wheat so big?"
When Lao Xu heard someone praise the new wheat, he immediately smiled, "This is the wheat given by the superiors. It is big in size. It is big in size. It is big in planting."
"How do you calculate that seed?"
"Uh... the boss said, this wheat cannot be kept. It's the same as the real one." Old Xu smiled.
After learning about the situation, Director Lu went to the place where the Lu family members were placed. After arriving, he saw that the children were wearing new clothes. The female relatives at home were ironing clothes with charcoal ironing irons on the wooden board outside the door. The iron was lent to them by Director Lu. This thing was not iron, but steel. It was filled with water, and the water was filled with steel boxes with charcoal. So no matter how hard the clothes were, it would not burn them. This was something that could only be bought in the Fucheng City. Director Lu's wife also asked people from Fucheng to buy it.
When the relatives here saw Director Lu coming over, they asked about the seeds. Everyone was a farmer, and they could tell whether the wheat variety was good at a glance. They were all very happy when they heard Director Lu say that they could get the seeds.
Then Director Lu thought about it and told his relatives about the topic that this kind of wheat cannot be kept. Although he did not believe it, he could not help but doubt it. What Lao Xu said must be what the better people said. The better people probably heard what the Zhao Guan family said. The Zhao Guan family was considered to be the reincarnated emperor of Erlang Shen. If this was not the case, why could the Zhao Guan family become the emperor? If this was not the case, how could the Zhao Guan family beat the vicious Mongolians to the point of falling into pieces?
Old Xu didn't believe it, Director Lu didn't believe it, and Director Lu's relatives didn't believe it. Uncle immediately smiled and said, "What does it mean to not keep seeds? Seeds are big and small, and they need to be carefully selected. But this is what it means, there will be problems with the seeds themselves. Will this kind of seeds be stumped by magic tricks?"
"I will take everyone to the wheat fields to harvest wheat in person." Director Lu didn't want to talk, so he gave everyone a suggestion.
After this matter was completed, Director Lu returned home. The next afternoon, a relative came to invite Director Lu to go. Director Lu didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly followed him. After arriving at the place, the uncle said, "Erlang, we have to go back first."
Director Lu felt a sense of joy, but he still held back his joy and showed surprise, "Why? Is it because I can't take good care of you?"
"We can't talk too much if we don't take good care of it, we can't go out to escape from famine," replied the uncle. "It's just that something happened at home, so we have to go back."
"Everyone goes back?" Director Lu hoped that was the case.
"Leave a few young people here," said the uncle. "Don't forget the things you said."
"I will never forget it." Director Lu replied, and then said in his heart. Even if you forget it, the people you left behind will remind me.
He couldn't say anything in his heart, Director Lu asked, "But he didn't know what was so anxious, he had to go back now."
As the saying goes, "Green Yellow" means that the crops are still green seedlings. Before the time of ripening, the yellow and mature grain harvested last year has been eaten. When there is a problem at this time, it is really called "Green Earth and Earth are not effective every day." This locust plague broke out when the green and yellow are not collected. The food in the hometown has been eaten, so the people of the Lu family will come to escape the famine at this time. But when they go back at this time, they still take all the family members back, which seems particularly strange.
Uncle Lu's family did not intend to explain to Director Lu. He said perfunctorily: "I'm urging there so I can only go back."
Director Lu was completely disappointed with his relatives. He stopped asking questions, but just replied: "Since that's the case, is the ship ready?"
"It's ready." Uncle Lu's family answered very simply.
On the third day, Director Lu came again. He saw that the already empty trading point became empty again. He could not bring many households with him when he fled the famine. The Lu family came easily and left easily. Seeing Director Lu coming, the remaining five young young people hurried up to greet him. They did not have the noble spirit of the Lu uncle.
"Second uncle, the food is over." The young boy said with a smile.
"Have you taken it away?" Director Lu asked.
"Yeah. I took it away." The young boys lowered their heads shyly.
Director Lu was too lazy to comment, but that would allow these dozens of people to eat for a month. If they had saved food, they could last for about two months. Director Lu also took a lot of effort to borrow it from the county. Originally, Director Lu hoped that these people could repay it through work. Now the repayment work would probably fall on the remaining five people.
"What happened? I was so anxious." Director Lu asked.
The young young people dared not not say anything, they could only tell what they knew, "We have relatives at home as soldiers, and the relatives asked our family to go back quickly. Everyone discussed that the land was in the north, and if they didn't go back, they might be taken away. Then they rushed back."
Just as the young man told Director Lu the reason, Uncle Lu and his tribe had already returned home. This was probably not back for about a month, and after seeing the house, he felt very friendly. After entering, he felt that there was no popularity in the house. The food he brought back was quickly put into the empty grain tank, and cloth and other items were also put into the empty wardrobe.
Then the uncle of the Lu family gathered the men in charge of each family, "Everyone is here this time, Erlang is good to everyone. The past affairs were just written off. From now on, no one is allowed to talk about the past affairs! What do you think."
This time, the journey south was a big gain, but the uncle of the Lu family felt very content. Director Lu's father offended the powerful people here ten years ago and had to run away to save his life. The powerful people there were resolute and the Lu family was under great pressure. However, during the Mongolian invasion, the family of this powerful family sent troops. Others gained a lot of benefits, and this family fought with Marshal A Shu. Not only did many people die in their family, but also 80% of the villagers who sent troops with their family died.
As the Marquis of the Han Army and the magnificent family, this family is considered a disaster star in the local area and is hated by people. Only then did the Lu family recover. During the Battle of the Yellow River, the young and strong family followed Marshal A Shu to send troops, but none of them came back. The Lu family was no longer afraid of any problems.
But after all the years of fear, everyone is still very angry with Director Lu. This time, Uncle Lu really wanted to renew his relatives, but he couldn't fall back from it. So he pretended to be more serious. When he came back with something, Uncle Lu felt that he could not continue this matter endlessly. After all, the financial resources shown by Director Lu proved that he was doing well in the south. If this relative was really broken, it would not be beneficial to everyone.
The men in charge of various families also had similar ideas. Someone said, "Since we are back, I will send someone to thank Erlang."
"Well. Let my uncle go." Uncle Lu replied.
After the separation, the uncle of the Lu family called the eldest son and carefully explained to him to go to the south to thank him. "I can't say something to apologize to your brother, you have to say this. Don't be unable to hold this face down."
As the eldest son and grandson, if nothing goes wrong, Lu Dalang will have to take over the status of patriarch in his family. After listening to his father's explanation, he quickly replied: "Dad, I know. Actually, I also thought you were too harsh on Erlang at that time."
Uncle Lu replied unhappily: "You were still young at that time, and you were not afraid of heaven or earth. I wonder how arrogant the Han army Marquis was at that time. After fighting for so long, he really dared to send troops. It was Li Yu who caused trouble. The Mongolian emperor asked the Han army Marquis to send troops, but he did not start a fight."
"What did Erlang's father do?" Lu Dalang was still very curious.
"He said he didn't, and he had to say that Erlang's father had participated in the convoy where the head of the family wife went home to visit relatives. As a result, the head of the family wife was frightened at that time, and was scared to death not long after he returned. They had to insist that the people on our side participated. In fact, we didn't believe it either. But the head of the family had to say that he had gone, and we had no choice." Uncle Lu sighed.
After hearing this, Lu Dalang could only sigh. Although Hebei has not been peaceful in recent years, it has been much better than before. In the past, the Han army marquis were local emperors. Whenever they encountered any problems, they would kill people. The Lu family was not the Han army marquis, but they also had relatives with other Han army marquis. This relative barely protected the Lu family, but it was also the one who involved the Lu family. After the opponent's family fell, the relatives were actually very alienated. So Lu Dalang said, "Dad. I understand. I will explain it to Erlang clearly this time."
"You are all from the same generation, so easy to talk to." Uncle Lu lowered his voice, "Let it be clear to Erlang that some of our family members are still thinking about getting close to Attitude. I think that in-laws are not reliable, but our own family members are reliable. So, you young people must make decisions about the future."
