Chapter 378 Follow Man Bao

  Yang Heshu groaned and asked, “If there is a cow, can you support a laborer?”

"Oh, sir, it's ridiculous. A cow is not for one labor, it is for three labor. For people like me, if you walk three rows, you have to stop and rest. As long as the cow is well fed, one If you can walk ten lines and eight lines, the endurance of that cow is much stronger than that of human beings."

  Yang Heshu didn’t expect the cow to be so useful, so he asked quickly, “If the Yamen is willing to give you credit for the cow, would you like to do it?”

  Man Bao couldn't help but sit up straight. They hadn't discussed the matter just now. Is the county magistrate Yang wanting to abandon her and find another love?

   "This is not good, this cow can be afforded by people like us?"

The other party obviously didn't have the guts and courage to listen to it as a joke. He even heard it as a joke. He laughed and said, "Can the yamen be so good? The credit must be for interest, and it won't be available at that time. Have to be taken away, how much panic?"

  "Interest is not expensive, only twelve cents a month for one or two silvers."

  The villagers shook their heads and said, “A cow is expensive. Yamen can make money by sitting, so I won’t take credit.”

  Yang Heshu:...

  He looked at Man Bao, who was looking at him with bright eyes, and said: "Look at me, I trust the county government, really!"

  Yang Heshu retracted his gaze, turned away from the subject, and asked about some agricultural matters, then he got up and left.

  It happened to be late, and the villagers’ wives saw them sitting and talking and not doing work, so they simply took out lunch and greeted the children to come over and eat.

  The life of their family is not much better. They are black steamed buns made with flour and grated bran. The bamboo basket they brought has a bowl of cold dishes.

  They greet Man Bao and they have a meal together.

  Manbao and the others declined, and they did not deadlift. Now they don’t have enough food. This is just polite.

   and Manbao were very polite people. It was during lunch time that each family walked up to the ridge, found a wider piece of grass and sat down and opened the bamboo basket for food.

  Manbao and they all passed by, and the villagers greeted them. Once Manbao refused, they stopped inviting.

  Yang Heshu was very interested in their lunch. After watching it all the way, he was calm on the face, but felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

  Don't talk about eating these things, he hadn't seen them before he came to Luojiang County.

  Yang Heshu doesn’t know how to eat, because what they eat now he has eaten in many farmhouses in the past two days, which is really not delicious.

  He found several more companies along the way, and also asked about the county government’s willingness to credit cattle with them, but to the surprise of Yang Heshu, none of the people asked were willing.

  Yang and Shu both suspected that Man Bao was deliberate.

  Man Bao looked at him and said, "The village chief has cows in his family. They definitely won’t buy them. Brother Zhou Hu’s family is very poor now. Do you want to check it out?"

  Zhou Hu can't plow the land alone, so he still cooperates with his old Zhou family in the spring of this year. Although they are working together, they eat their own food.

  The old Zhou family is used to going home to eat, because they have to take a break at noon, but Zhou Hu didn’t go back. He took his two sons to have lunch with their heads down, and planned to take a look at their own plot later.

   Seeing Manbao coming over, he raised a smile and waved to them, "Have you eaten lunch? Didn't you come over and eat some with brother?"

  Man Bao declined to say: "We have eaten, Brother Zhou Hu, this is Mr. Yang, here to ask questions."

   Zhou Hu glanced at Yang Heshu curiously, and asked, "What question?"

  Man Bao disliked that Yang Heshu had to lay a lot of ground every time he spoke, and he said directly in front of him: "He wants to ask you, if the county government is willing to give you a cow on credit, do you want it?"

   Zhou Hu hesitated: "Do you want money?"

   "Come on," Man Bao said uncertainly: "Grandma Liu said, a cow costs more than three thousand two hundred dollars, but, alas, Mr. Yang, are you going to give me silver or copper on credit?"

   "I'll give you cows on credit."

"A cow is also bought with money," Man Bao insisted: "If a cow requires three, two, two hundred wen, I can afford the two hundred wen, as long as I charge you three and two on credit, so the interest is easy to calculate, so Do you want to credit us silver or copper?"

   "Since it is three or two, it is naturally a credit."

  "Can you give me the silver first? Then I will take the money to buy cattle from the county government, and the receipt with your county government is for the loan of silver."

  Yang Heshu looked at her suspiciously, “Why is it so troublesome, is it not good to directly credit the cow? How much do you want to credit, just explain directly, sign the IOU, and then hand in the extra part.”

   "No, it's messy, I think it's better to sign alone, first credit the silver, then buy the cow, the two are separated."

   Zhou Hu listened to the discussion between the two of them, and couldn’t help asking: “Man Bao, do you want to credit the cow?”

   "Well," Man Bao nodded, "It's too exhausting to use people to pull the plow. A cow is very useful. At least two labors can be used. A good cow is worth three labors."

   Zhou Hu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked Yang Heshu, "This gentleman, if I don’t have the money in a year, can I sell the cow and pay it back?"

  Yang and Shudu, obviously did not expect this. He frowned and thought for a while and said: "It is reasonable to say that it is possible, but the transaction has to go through the county government. It is necessary to ensure that the cattle are in the hands of farmers and used as farmland."

  This is because they are afraid of killing them.

  This kind of thing is very common. The Yang family often does this kind of thing. Otherwise, how can their family eat beef?

   "That's OK, I also buy cows on credit, how much is the monthly interest?"

  Yang Heshu didn’t expect him to be so happy, mainly because everyone didn’t seem to trust this policy very much along the way.

  I don’t even believe in the county government.

   Zhou Hu didn’t read Yang Heshu, but looked at Man Bao and exclaimed, “Man Bao is the reincarnation of a fairy. It’s not going to hurt to follow her, right?”

  Yang Heshu:...

  Man Bao felt the pressure on his face, and said with a guilty heart: "Also, not necessarily..."

  Although she was a little bit convinced by the fairy tale of the mother, but deep down in her heart, she knew that Ke Ke was right and that it was not right to be strange.

  Bai Shanbao nodded approvingly to Zhou Hu, and said: "Brother Zhou Hu, your decision is right. If it weren't because my family is not poor enough, I would like to take a few more credits."

   Zhou Hu immediately said: "I only need one credit."

  So, Zhou Hu and Man Bao looked at Yang Heshu eagerly, "Mr. Yang, do you think we can buy cows on credit?"

  Yang Heshu hesitated, although the steps are different, the result is the same, and there seems to be no problem.

  Yang Heshu thought for a while and then said, “It’s okay, but you have to make sure that the money on credit must be used to buy cattle with the county government, otherwise I will be fined.”

  "Yes, yes, I must listen to Mr. Yang. By the way, Mr. Yang is in charge of the county or something?"

  Full of Baole, watching Yang Heshu's answer.

  Yang Heshu smiled and said, “Now I am in charge of farming and mulberry matters, so I want you to buy cattle and cultivate a lot of fields.”

   Zhou Hu did not hesitate to praise, "Good official."
