There was a long queue outside the granary, and all kinds of cattle, horses, mules and carts occupied the official road outside the city.
Lin Kuan stood on the roadside and even went to the tree to see: the queue was too long.
He got down from the tree and ran towards a wine stall on the roadside.
There were two beauties, one big and one small, sitting at the table in the stall.
Everyone knows this great beauty, but it's not Yulang of the Lin family.
Yulang is still as beautiful as before. His peers back then all had gray hair and wrinkles on their faces, but the Yulang in front of him is still Yulang, with black hair and a face as stretched as a young man. Time has been particularly kind to him.
But no matter how beautiful the beauty is, there are no girls here to appreciate her.
The autumn harvest has come, and the grain has returned to the warehouse. All families whose fields have been converted into public fields have to come to the granary to receive grain. What is the standard for this year's grain? How much staple grain and miscellaneous grain can each family receive per acre of land? These are all stipulated.
!The output of each family’s self-cultivated fields is also about the same, and there is no major rebound, so it is settled like this.
Then everyone has to bring their guys to collect the food.
Look! All these carriages are here to receive food.
Now, those lined up are all dignitaries, most of whom know Yulang. And they are all men, so who cares about him!
As for the little beauty beside Link, she was very similar to Link. She was soft and cute, she was about three or four years old. She sat there and straightened her sleeves, finished a spoonful of wine, and...
Wipe his mouth with a handkerchief.
For those who don’t know, just ask: “I’ve never heard of Link using the string extension!”
Those who knew about it quickly shouted, "He is playing with his grandson."
How about playing with your grandson? The nephews of the Lin family gave birth to them. To Lin Keyong, they were grandnephews, not grandsons!
The man pointed upward.
"Oh oh oh oh!" Got it, "Dragon egg!"
Yes! A dragon egg.
This year is the fifth year of Qingtai. One was added to the East Palace in the second year of Qingtai, and one was added in the fourth year of Qingtai.
The one being brought out now must be the big one.
The big dragon egg was a very particular person. He sat there and folded the small handkerchief carefully, put it into the hidden pocket in his sleeve, and patiently arranged the sleeve again before looking at the long collar.
The food team frowned slightly and sighed: "Grandpa, can you get it?"
Link Yong looked at Lin Kuan who came back, and then nodded: "It's definitely possible."
It's possible, but the waiting time is a bit long. "Sir, why don't you take His Highness back first." Why do you have to join in the fun?
Xiao Longdan was unconvinced: "Daddy said we should come out and have a look!"
Okay! What your father said is right. But if you are told to stay for a day, it will be hard to explain to your mother later! You and your grandpa are your mother's treasures, so don't dare to be careless.
Just as Lin Kuan was about to speak, he saw officials wearing uniforms from the grain station approaching.
Hey hey! She is also a beauty at first glance! She is also an acquaintance - Lu Qi.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness." Lu Qichong saluted the two of them.
Link raised his chin: "Don't be too polite outside. What? Open the back door for us? No! I'm just taking the kids out for a walk, you can go about your business."
Lu Qi took out a wooden sign from his sleeve: "Your Majesty, this is the amount of three thousand kilograms of grain. You can take this to any grain shop in the city and exchange it for grain. The settlement will be in wheat. If you want rice, you can use wheat."
Exchange it at market price. With these, it should be enough for the house."
Link took the sign and looked it over, "Aren't you afraid of someone impersonating you?"
Lu Qi only smiled: "Then I will change the amount of grain to this brand for you. How much grain you need, ask someone to send it to the grain store. The grain store will send you how much grain. If the quality is not good at all, you can
Reporter. If you want to exchange grain for something else, such as cloth, salt, or even directly exchange it for gold and silver, you can just send a message and everything can be done. Even if you want to exchange the old grain at home for new grain, the same amount will be the same.
exchange."
Link handed the sign to the child to play with, and then asked Lu Qi: "Who came up with this method?"
Lu Qi stood still and did not reply.
Link smiled, stood up, picked up his grandson, and walked away.
Xiao Longdan turned the sign around in his hand and asked, "Grandpa, is there another disaster somewhere?"
Everybody knows this?
"My mother said that concentrating food can save lives."
This is the truth! Rich families save grain for three to five years without selling it, and empty their granaries every year. They replace the old grain with new grain and continue to store it. However, the land in the hands of the big landlords can only be rented by themselves for a year.
, let alone three to five years, it can be eaten for ten years. If there is no public land, then this is other people's food. If people are willing to save it, if it is left to get moldy, others can't care.
But things are different now. The food is first in the hands of the imperial court.
The court will have a certain amount of initiative, and it will be easier to allocate resources. Rich families keep food that goes moldy, but victims starve to death in batches. This kind of thing will never happen again.
In the past few years, Da Chen, up and down, has pushed away the public land step by step. For several years in a row, the court has not deducted any grain from the landlords. Everyone believes it!
Just like now, Lu Qi said, just go and get the food. You can get as much as you want with the sign. If you want to exchange old and new food for replacement, they will do it. Even salt and cloth can be exchanged with the court for food.
I dare to ask, who really takes all the food back and piles it up? If the salt is sold northward, some people can make a profit.
In this way, the landowner did not suffer any loss, but the salt coupons he exchanged were resold, which was all money.
As for the imperial court, they had food in their hands and were not panicking.
This year is a bold attempt. It seems that Lu Qi has really been reused.
Throwing the sign to Lin Kuan to collect the food, Lin Keyong took the little guy back to the palace.
In the east palace, Tongtong was feeding the little one.
This one is only two years old, and I don’t know why he is so active. He is sitting on a small chair waiting to eat, and his two little legs are kicking. He is so happy.
After three or two mouthfuls, the remaining custard was finished. She had to push the bowl down and let others take a look: Look! It's really finished, the bottom of the bowl is clean.
Otherwise, he would always stretch out his paws and try hard to grab the bowl, let alone the bowl. He would scream "Eat, eat, eat" for a long time, and his face would be red and his neck would be thick as he struggled.
Just after I finished feeding this, two more came back.
The grandfather and grandson are finally back to play.
"Dad, he's not young anymore. Don't hold him like this all the time. If you hold him for a day, won't your arms hurt?"
It doesn’t hurt! I love hugging! Leave it alone. Tongtong just laughed and called the big one Chengding and the little one Chengping.
When Chengping saw his grandfather hugging his brother, he stretched out his hand: "Hug! Hug!"
Link said with disgust: "You are born to one father and one mother, how come you are so ugly?"
Lin Yutong: "..." Actually it's not bad! It's just not as refined as the boss.
Link felt disgusted and picked up the little one. The little one had eaten a mouthful of custard and hadn't even wiped it yet. He was smiling ingratiatingly at his grandfather's face.
Link Yong became more and more disgusted, "They say the boss is good and the second brother is treacherous..."
Lin Yutong: "..." What are you doing at home? Have you forgotten?
Okay! Set the food.
As soon as the food was served, the boss sat down properly and went to eat.
The second child cheered: "Eat, eat, eat! Meat, meat, meat!"
Oops! Those who know say that your father is the Prince of the East Palace, but those who don’t know think that your father is a beggar on the road. How come you are so virtuous when you see food?
When the fourth master came back, he saw his father-in-law looking at his second son with disgust.
What happened to my dick?
"Come! Daddy, hug me!" One hand raised his hand to touch the eldest child's head to comfort him, and the other hand stretched out his hand to hug the second child.
The second child pointed at the meat: "Eat... meat."
OK! Eat meat.
Tongtong served the rice and said to Link: "It's true, Dad, he is getting older and if you always say he is ugly, he will take it seriously."
Don't worry, he only cares about whether there is meat in his bowl and doesn't care whether others say he is ugly.
"That's not what you said! He is very clever."
No one said he was stupid, but the direction of his intelligence was a little different: "He's already two years old! What words couldn't Cheng Ding speak when he was two years old? He could walk and talk when he was less than a year old, and he could also walk on his legs.
He's also good at talking. This kid's legs can flap, but look at that stupid mouth. Cheng Ding could memorize poems at the age of two, but what about this kid?"
The first word that comes out when learning to speak is - eat!
"Food is the most important thing for the people!" Fourth Master said, "Eating is the most important thing in the world!" What's wrong with shouting about food? If you don't shout about food, you are either stupid or stupid, "right?"
Chengping took a mouthful of meat porridge, clapped his hands with satisfaction and smiled: Yes, yes! Dad is right.
Link took a look at the boy's ugly appearance and took out a small red fruit from his sleeve like a magic trick. As soon as he took it out, Sheng Ping snatched it away with extremely quick hands.
I felt happy as soon as I got it in my hand and tried to stuff it into my mouth.
Tongtong took a look and saw that it was carved from a piece of ruby. It looked small, but the child would definitely not be able to eat it. "This is too expensive. Why do you always give your child expensive things to play with?"
Did you fall?"
If you fall, you fall! Ugly is a bit ugly, stupid is a bit stupid, but the more ugly and stupid you are, the more people will hurt you.
He thought so, and even taught Cheng Ding this way: "He is not as good-looking as you, and he is not as smart as you... You have to love him more! Others can dislike him, but you can't. You have to love him more than others... You have to love him more than others...
Otherwise, how pitiful it would be to be unloved."
That makes sense!
Chengding said seriously: "I love him."
Yes! You should love him.
Tongtong: “…………”
Link didn't call Tongtong to speak, but turned around and whispered: "Brothers are not jealous of each other. The best way is to ask the younger one to respect the older one, and to have the older one pamper the younger one. You don't have to worry about this matter.
Many mouths."
Then Lin Keyong secretly taught Cheng Ding: "Look at your cousin from your eldest uncle's house. He is a crybaby. Give him some time and save him from crying. Look at your cousin from your second uncle's house.
Oops! He is always being deceived by his uncle's cousin... From now on, you should be more protective and don't let people with a foreign surname bully you."
There were big questions in Cheng Ding's little head: why should this be given way and that should be protected?
The answer Link gave was this: "Do you think they are ugly?"
yes!
"They are not as good-looking as you."
Cheng Ding: “………………, right?”
Definitely! "Do others praise you a lot?"
Cheng Ding: “………………Right!”
Do even their own mothers praise you?
Cheng Ding nodded: Yes! They are all compliments to me.
Link said confidently: "The ugly ones are all poor people. You should give in and protect them. You shouldn't!"
That’s right! But why are there so many ugly people in this world?
