Chapter 10 Chapter 70 Planting Seeds

The Ding family released grain seeds, and the tenants of the Ding family from ten miles and eight townships rushed here. The whole Ding family village was very lively with people coming and going. The grain seeds are full, the seeds are good, and they are stored properly. If you don’t use the grain seeds from the Ding family, the harvest is generally 10% worse than the grain seeds you bought or saved, and sometimes even 20% worse. The seeds are sold at a low price, and they can be settled after autumn. Of course, the tenants are willing to use the grain seeds provided by the Ding family. Last winter, the Ding family prepared all the grain and grass needed for Guangyuan City overnight. They made a mistake in their busy schedule and opened the seed storage. The grain seeds have been moldy due to the cold and damp, so the existing grain seeds may not be able to meet the needs of all tenants, so all the tenants who received the letter came early, and lined up next to the seed planting station before dawn at the earliest There was a long queue.And the time to release the grain seeds is set in the afternoon, and at this time, Mr. Ding has not come yet, so it is really difficult for these farmers.

Ding Hao came out from the back house and went back to his own residence. Seeing his son coming back, Mrs. Yang got up and got him some food. Watching his son eat, he was filled with satisfaction and joy.His son has delicate features, and his appearance is actually quite attractive.Now there is a very special feeling in every gesture, um, this special feeling is like the feeling when I accompanied the young lady on an outing and saw the master for the first time.At that time, the master was dressed in shabby clothes, but his demeanor and demeanor were not comparable to that of many aristocratic sons. It was a kind of strength that came from inner self-confidence.

My son used to look like this, but why didn't I notice this feeling in him before?The more Yang looked at it, the happier she was, thinking of Luo Dong'er's cute appearance, and her son, they were really a natural match.Thinking about it this way, the slight grudge against Luo Dong'er who was married faded away. Ding Hao was eating, and looked at his wife curiously. From the moment he entered the room, his mother looked up and down with a pair of examining eyes, as if she just knew him. What's wrong? Mother, why are you looking at me like that? What's wrong? It's okay, it's okay, my son is promising, mother is happy.Yang smirked.

Ding Hao shook his head and smiled helplessly: Promise?Is this called an outing?I still feel aggrieved.But the old lady is right, she has lived in the Ding family compound all her life, and all she has seen is such a big world. Being a steward in the Ding family is already a master and a great prospect, and she can still be counted on to think about it. what? After dinner, Ding Hao put down the rice bowl and chatted with his mother for a while, until the pig came to urge him, he got up and went to the seed planting station. Hearing that the grain seed would be planted today, Mrs. Yang held his son and gave him another order. Ding Hao agreed, and then hurried out of Ding's mansion.

When he arrived at the place, Ding Hao couldn't help being startled. Those tenants carrying burdens, carrying baskets, and dragging their wives and children lined up for two miles. The long line was really longer than the Great Wall. Ding Hao had only seen such a spectacular scene during the Spring Festival travel at the railway station. Sao Zhuer pushed and shoved the crowded tenants, puffed out his chest and proudly shouted: Get out of the way, get out of the way!Don't let Guanshi Ding in, and you won't be able to get the seeds if you stand until dark. When the tenants heard this, they quickly made a way out of the way to let them in.When they got inside, they saw Yang Ye, the tenant leader, and Liu Shiyi, the steward of Ding's outer court, were maintaining order there. When they saw Ding Hao coming, they hurriedly greeted him.

Sorry to bother you, both of you have worked hard.Ding Hao returned the courtesy with a smile. Ding Hao was very polite to them, always very polite, maintaining a kind of politeness that is as light as water in the friendship between gentlemen. What did Guanshi Ding say? We all work for the boss, and we should support each other.Hehe, the queue is so long. Look, Steward Ding, should we open the warehouse and release seeds now? OK, wait a moment, two stewards. I'll take a rough count, and we'll open the warehouse and release seeds. Okay, okay, yes, please, Manager Ding. When Ding Hao walked into the warehouse, he saw the sacks piled up there, and couldn't help frowning: How many bags of seeds are there in total?How much is it?

The accountant next to him hurriedly took out the account book and looked at it, and reported the number of bags and catties to him. Sao Zhuer whispered to his ear: Dumb, when we came out, the aunt told me to be in charge when the grain is released every year. , accountants, and laborers will all deduct grain types layer by layer and keep them for their own use, but they say it is loss during distribution.There is a severe shortage of grain seeds this year. If the loss is severe, there may be troubles from the tenants. I tell you to be careful, don't forget. Ding Hao smiled, and asked loudly: With so many seeds and so many tenants, when do we have to put them away?How many large scales have we arranged for planting?

The accountant replied: Manager Ding has arranged for a total of twelve large scales to release grain. Well, if that's the case, it's more or less the same.Ding Hao said lightly, walked around the grain stack a few times, and whispered to Sao Zhuer: Did you hear clearly?A total of 12 large scales are planted at the same time, even if we are two overpowered, we can't see it.These people are all close friends of Guanshi Liu and Chief Yang, if they deliberately play tricks, can you guard against them? The shameless pig mumbled, "What's the matter?"According to you, we don't care?If they even hide it secretly, if the tenants who don't know what kind of grain are really making trouble, you will be the one to take the blame.If someone steals a donkey and we pull it out, isn't that stupid?No matter what, you have to try your best to take care of it, as much as you can see.

Hehe Ding Hao thumped him on the shoulder and said with a smile: Is this a stupid way?You have to watch, but instead of the two of us staring there like big-eyed lights, I have an idea, so nothing can go wrong.Isn't it just dividing things, hehe, I am familiar with this job, and I can guarantee that everyone will be convinced, and no one can find fault. After Ding Hao finished speaking, he turned around abruptly and strode out of the warehouse. Xun Zhuer said in surprise: "You know me well?"When did you take care of excessive things? When Ding Hao came out of the warehouse, there was a commotion among the anxious tenants. Ding Hao swept around and aimed at a big tree stump that was less than half a person tall. I am in charge of distributing grain seeds this time.Everyone knows that last winter, the Ding family suffered a catastrophe, and many of the stored grains were destroyed. The grains distributed this year will certainly not be able to reach every household.Today it is first come, first served. It is calculated according to the number of acres of land rented by each family. It is impossible to get more, but if the seeds shine to someone, don't blame others.

The tenants were quiet for a while, and then they started to talk about it. Some people who didn't know the grain shortage were especially excited. There is everything. The turmoil in the team lasted for a long time. Ding Hao stood on the tree stump with his hands behind his back and remained silent. The discussion below finally subsided. An old farmer raised his voice and shouted: "Guan Ding, there must be a first-come-first-served basis for everything. The seeds are gone when they are sent to me, so I have nothing to say.However, there is already a shortage of grain seeds, so you can’t detain us any more against your conscience. It’s not easy for us peasants who depend on the sky for their food and the earth for their lives.

This is what Ding Hao was waiting for. He smiled and raised his voice and shouted: Don’t worry, old man, I will distribute grain seeds today. Although I, Ding Hao, cannot satisfy all the elders, I will set up a grain distribution today. Such a charter guarantees that all folks, regardless of whether they get a share or not, will be convinced!
