After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 274
Several other elders, Ji Shuisheng, also invited them to their seats one by one. After everyone sat down, they all looked at Ji Shuisheng. He wouldn't call everyone here for no reason. What could be the matter?
Ji Shuisheng calmly asked Xiao Ying to pour a few bowls of tea for the old men to drink. Su Qing bought this tea, and he drank it once on the way. He gave half of it to his grandfather and left half a bag.

That is the first-class tea, the tea soup is golden in color, and the tea is fragrant and pleasant. After drinking it, it is extremely sweet in the mouth and has an endless aftertaste.

Taking it out and giving it to the elders is an expression of respect for them.

Mr. Qiu was very happy to see that Ji Shuisheng still respected their old buddies so much. After all, he was the famous old hero General Xiao. He was a person who did great things.

Unexpectedly, Ji Shuisheng still cared about them as always.

Ji Shuisheng waited for Xiaoying and Li Shuang'er to serve tea to several elders before speaking:
"That's the case. According to Grandpa Qiu, everyone will settle down in Mocheng and don't plan to go to Jingshi Road again. So I think our fleeing from famine has come to an end here, and our lives must go on the right track in the future."

The old men were making genuine tea, and their hearts skipped a beat when they heard Ji Shuisheng's words, it's over, the day is finally here.

"You said."

Old Master Qiu put down the teacup with a solemn expression. This is the teacup used by the magistrates of the county, which is much more advanced than the rough porcelain bowls they use. The tea in the cup looks expensive.

"This time I went to the country of Tartan and brought back a hundred fat sheep. I plan to distribute them to each family. According to the head of each family, if there are more people, I will share more, and if there are few people, I will share less. Whether you kill or raise them As for the Lord, the food is the same, it will be divided among each household, and it is up to oneself to live a good or bad life in the future.”

After Ji Shuisheng finished speaking, he looked at the expressions of the old men. His attitude was very firm, and he had to do it whether he agreed or disagreed.

"Well, that's right."

Several old men glanced at each other and knew that this was the best way.

In particular, each family can still get a fat sheep. After raising two litters a year, it is okay to raise a family. When I was in Taohuawu, who had fat sheep?Shui Sheng has done his best, and they can't ask for too much.

Mr. Li and the elders of several other families also thought about it. Shuisheng didn't owe them anything.

"Shuisheng, you have worked hard with everyone along the way. We are very grateful. We will do as you said. Each family will live their own lives. Living well depends on our own ability."

"Okay, since the grandfathers and uncles have no objections, let Yongkang register the number of people in each family and divide the sheep according to the head. Children are not counted, only adults are counted."

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ji Shuisheng asked Qiu Yongkang to do the statistics, and he was responsible for the logistics.

"Row."

People with many children felt a little uncomfortable, but the sheep was given to them by Shui Shengbai, and it seemed that they didn't know what to do if they said too much.

"Let's have our last meal together in the evening."

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ji Shuisheng announced with a smile that Mr. Qiu and the others had some sentimentality in their eyes. The days of living together are so beautiful, and there is always meat to eat. Su Qing is a descendant of the imperial chef. The food is good.

But there is no way, there is no permanent banquet in the world, and it seems that everyone is too selfish to rely on Shui Sheng and Su Qing.

Qiu Yongkang counted the number of people in each family, and when he came back, he reported to Ji Shuisheng that there are currently 68 adults in Taohuawu, and 14 people with children under 18 years old, which means that 68 fat sheep will be allocated.

It was equivalent to taking out more than half of the sheep that Ji Shuisheng brought back.

"How much food is there?"

Ji Shuisheng nodded to show that he knew, and asked about the remaining food.

"There are sixty shi for polished rice, and 180 six shi for brown rice."

Qiu Yongkang keeps accounts every day, and each family has to weigh the food distributed, so Shui Sheng will come when he opens his mouth when he asks.

Ji Shuisheng pondered for a while, counting the officers and soldiers guarding the city, the food would have to feed hundreds of people, which is not much, but the solution is more difficult than difficult. First divide the food, and then said to Qiu Yongkang:

"Adults share two loads of food, children share half a load of food, each family gets another ten taels of silver, and cotton clothes are distributed according to the head."

Cotton clothes are originally determined according to the head. Although everyone has been given the cotton coats and leather jackets worn by Tatan soldiers now, most of them don’t fit well. Let’s share them. The 100 taels of gold earned from the Tatan Kingdom can be exchanged for 600 taels of silver. 60 taels, 540 taels dart silver was given to Yang Zhi for settlement, and there was still [-] taels on the book.

There are 150 households in Taohuawu, and each family has 390 taels in total, leaving [-] taels in the account.

It sounds like a lot, but it won't take long for Ji Shuisheng to manage the food and drink of the officers and soldiers in the city, as well as his family and Uncle Qu.

Fortunately, there are still six carts of leather. The leather is very easy to sell in Daxia, and it can cost about 300 taels. If you buy grain, you can count two taels of silver as the most expensive one, and you can buy at least 150 taels of grain. As long as this cold winter passes, the land can be plowed and farmed in the spring, and life will be easier at that time.

"it is good."

Qiu Yongkang nodded, Shuisheng was so benevolent to the villagers of Taohuawu, he didn't expect to give back the money to each family?

It would be nice to give food to the sheep!

"You brought back 68 sheep this time plus the 37 sheep you brought back before, a total of [-] sheep, divided into [-] sheep, and there are [-] sheep and three cattle left."

Qiu Yongkang showed Ji Shuisheng the account book, and he also recorded these livestock in the account book.

"These 37 sheep are raised in the backyard of the government office, which can supplement nutrition for the soldiers. They are responsible for the task of protecting the city. The three cattle are considered collective. When the spring begins, everyone can use them to open up wasteland. Of course, they can't just use them. Enjoy without paying, and every family has to pay forage to feed the cows in normal times.”

Ji Shuisheng thought about it for a while and decided to count the farming cattle as a large group. It is really difficult to rely on their family to feed them. Of course, he counts Su Qing as his own family, but they are both busy people and have no skills at the same time, so this The task is also assigned to each family.

"Okay, I'll talk to you guys then."

Qiu Yongkang felt that Ji Shuisheng was very thoughtful, so he had to do it like this, and he had to pay for what he wanted, not to mention that farming cattle was an indispensable help in opening up wasteland in spring.

What's more, these three cows were earned by Shuisheng for everyone, shouldn't they put in some work.

When Qiu Yongkang talked with Ji Shuisheng, every family gathered outside the government office and waited. When the elders went back and talked about Ji Shuisheng's decision, the villagers in Taohuawu were overjoyed. What day is it today?Why do all the good things come together, divide the sheep, food and money, and there will be meat to eat later.
