"From now on, your first task is to take the dozens of refugees here to reclaim the fertile land in Dongping County."
Chu Munan pointed at Boss Zheng: "You, cooperate with him. You two usually work together. This time, I hope you two can plant potatoes together. We will plant potatoes according to the court's regulations."
The tax rate is 30% tax.
In addition, Mr. Li and Boss Zheng, you each take 10%, and we will pick up the remaining 50% in three months."
Li Huai and Boss Zheng looked at each other.
Our friendship was just between friends, why did we end up collaborating?
Also, the two of them worked so hard to help, how come they each only get 10%? They didn't do anything, so why should they get 50%?
However, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not refute.
Li Huai was very surprised. He originally thought that the two of them were refugees turned thieves.
The reason why they occupied Cao's inn was because they wanted to make money, so they killed shopkeeper Cao and his family.
If you are held hostage by them, you will at least have to be robbed by them, or have the things they have committed in the past written off.
Unexpectedly, the first thing they asked him to do was to plant potatoes.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like what two little thieves said.
Thinking of the corpses and skulls found in the basement of Shopkeeper Cao's inn, it was not difficult for Li Huai to figure out that Shopkeeper Cao must have been interested in making money, or he might have opened a black shop to target these two "ancestors of thieves".
In the end, he shot himself in the foot. Instead of killing these two ancestors, he sent himself to hell.
It sounds like it was his own fault.
"Yes, yes." Li Huai quickly agreed: "You two young heroes, please rest assured, I will definitely lead the refugees to reclaim the land."
Growing food is also equivalent to making achievements.
Once he improves the performance of Dongping County, will he still worry about being promoted and making a fortune?
Ruan Xiangxiang asked again: "Master Li, how much food is there in the granary in Dongping County now?"
Li Huai was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he felt Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
Why did this aunt suddenly ask this? Will she eventually rob the government granary?
No, the only grain left in the granary is the tax paid to the court this year and cannot be taken out.
Thinking of this, Li Huai quickly shook his head: "There have been natural disasters in the past two years, and there is no surplus food in the granary."
"Forget it." Ruan Xiangxiang looked at Li Huai: "You are the parent official of Dongping County. No matter what, you have to find a way to make the bullies among the refugees put away their evil thoughts and stop treating the old, weak, sick and disabled like two-legged sheep.
"
"This... I also want to take care of it, but I'm not strong enough."
Li Huai's eyes and nose wrinkled up when he mentioned this.
"Humph, with this little ability, I still want to be promoted! Just dream!"
Chu Munan mercilessly exposed the deepest hope in his heart, and then crushed it with one kick.
Li Huai: "..."
He choked for a long time, and finally agreed: "Okay, I promise you, give me a month, and I will rectify the public security in Dongping County. If another case of cannibalism occurs in Dongping County in one month, I, Li
Huai will no longer be the county magistrate."
"Okay." Ruan Xiangxiang nodded, and then waved for Li Huai, Boss Zheng, and Ruan Dabao to come over.
She took out a potato from her basket and cut it into several small pieces with a machete.
"Do you see clearly? It's cut like this." Ruan Xiangxiang pointed to the small buds on the potatoes: "These are the sprouts of potatoes. Each potato has several. You cut it apart and plant it in the soil.
A potato vine can grow from one piece and produce many potatoes at the same time.”
It's so simple that a few people can learn it in no time.
Boss Zheng felt that he had suffered a big loss: "I have such a big basket of potatoes, and I just want this experience? Isn't the tuition fee too harsh?"
