The large private room on the third floor of the water cloud room is very spacious, with three large tables and plenty of space.

The table where Fang Youshan was sitting was next to the window, and from the floor-to-ceiling glass, he could clearly see the houses in the distance, the snow on the houses, and the gray colors of the sky.

If it weren't for the history of Yinzhou Thorn, Fang Youshan would be very willing to warm up the wine in such an environment and chat with a few friends while drinking.

But apparently, he didn't dare to do it, and he felt scared even thinking about it. He came to the banquet because he was worried that something had happened to the wealthy merchants in the state, or to be precise, something had happened to the merchants in Rulin County.

As the seat of the state, Rulin County is not only the location of the county yamen, but also the office of the state yamen, which is the political and economic center of Yinzhou and the place where businessmen like to gather.

The county order of Rulin County did not come, his status was not enough, he was very sad, he belonged to the kind of legend who did not do good deeds in his previous life, attached to Guo, there is a saying that 'he did evil in the previous life, attached to Guo in this life, full of evil, and attached to Guo Provincial City'.

For example, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were city-level officials in the provincial capital city at that time, and they should have been the largest in the city, but the provincial party committee and provincial government also worked there.

Fang Youshan, as the highest official in Yinzhou, is doing quite well, but looking at the stern faces of the businessmen today, he can't help but feel uneasy, thinking, 'Could it be that there is nothing to sell?' ’

When Fang Youshan was thinking, the dishes were served, a plate of tofu, a plate of cold pork skin, a large pot of cabbage, stewed pork belly with vermicelli, a plate of pork intestines, a plate of bean sprouts mixed with dried tofu, a fried loin with mushrooms, a steamed elbow, and a bunch of bones with meat.

It is considered eight dishes, and there are no abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, bear's paw, venison and so on.

Fang Youshan sighed, he was really afraid that the merchants would order those dishes, so he would have to get up and leave immediately, otherwise a thorn would run to eat that when he was affected by the disaster, it would be really boring.

Even so, Fang Youshan was cautious when he looked at the guy in the upper cuisine, and kept saying things like 'too much, too much, too much to eat'.

"Don't be polite to me, Lord Thorn Shi, today's wine and food will not let the state pay for it, and there will be a pig's knuckle soup in a while, eight dishes and one soup, not much, you see, a big table of twelve people, all can be eaten, it's not good to eat half full, what do you say?"

The person sitting in Fang Youshan's hand spoke enthusiastically.

Fang Youshan knows the other party, and the president of the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce, Mikuraman, is a name that can express happiness wishes. In addition to him, he has two vice presidents, Qi Miao and Du Yao, plus a group of directors, all of whom are leaders in various industries in Yinzhou, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the goods in Yinzhou are controlled by them.

Glancing at the light snow still falling outside the window, and sweeping the steaming dishes on the table again, Fang Youshan said, "Wine, it seems that you don't need it, right?" ”

"Drink it, Lord Fang, you have to accompany me to drink today's wine no matter what, just because the stakes are high." Yonekura continued to persuade with a smile.

The man brought the vessel to warm the wine, and the strong aroma of white wine came to the nose, and those who often drank only had to smell it to know that the wine was at least 50 degrees.

Qi Miao immediately received his hand, poured it into the wine cup of three coins in front of Fang Youshan, stopped when it was full, and poured it for others.

"Lord Fang, you can come here today, I am grateful in my heart, come and come, such a snowy scene, when a big white float." Mi Cangman picked up his own wine, got up and respected the other party, without waiting for the other party to speak, first raised his head and drank a cup, exhaled slowly, and praised: "Good wine." ”

Others followed suit.

Seeing this, Fang Youshan had no choice but to pick up the wine cup and gently put it in his mouth, about a penny of wine was drunk into his mouth, lightly tapped it twice, tasted it again, nodded, and admitted that it was good wine.

Mi Cangman hurriedly gave the wine cup to Lord Thorn Shiman, and recommended the dish: "My lord, you eat, I like to eat the big bones between the water and clouds the most, which is better than the broken flesh, I didn't know why before, but then I pondered, maybe this meat is it, work hard by yourself, and eat it in your mouth to be fragrant." ”

As he spoke, he really picked up a big bone stick and took two bites and rubbed a mouthful of oil.

Others also picked up the bones and gnawed on them, not paying attention to other dishes at all.

Fang Youshan was puzzled, 'The bones are really delicious', so he guessed, he stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a rib that looked like the meat was easy to get off, tore it with his teeth and ate it into his mouth, chewed it slightly, and his brows furrowed.

'Bones among the clouds? If Shuiyunma boils the bones to this taste, it won't be called Shuiyunma, except for the salt, it doesn't seem to have anything to put in, and it's not boiled yet, look at the white foam on the bones, it shouldn't even be hot water. ’

Fang Youshan was surprised, he didn't believe that the dishes made by Shui Yunjian would taste like this.

With suspicion, Fang Youshan went to pick up other dishes, and then he was satisfied, the other seven dishes tasted good, and they deserved to be the famous signboards among the water and clouds.

Stopping the chopsticks and picking up the wine cup, Fang Youshan went to see that the rice warehouse was full.

Micang Man was baring his teeth, his expression was painful, and when he saw Thorn Shi looking over, he showed an embarrassed look, and grabbed the wine cup with his oily hand: "My lord, drink." ”

Fang Youshan took another sip and began to look left and right, all of his expressions seemed to be painful, and asked, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

"Back to the adult's words, stuffed teeth, I said before, boiling a big pot is different from boiling in a small pot, they don't believe it, sure enough, after boiling for a while, it's still not cooked." Vice President Du Yao complained.

"Cook again." Yonekura squeezed his hands on his teeth and spat out two words vaguely.

Fang Youshan was really at a loss, picked up the toothpick box on the table and pushed it over, and asked, "Is it too early to put the salt?" ”

"Yes." Micang Man clapped his hands vigorously and said: "Sure enough, it is said that salt is put after boiling the bones, and the bones should be cracked as much as possible, the meat rots quickly, my lord, you are amazing, I respect you." ”

Fang Youshan picked up the wine cup and drank it again, he wanted to see what a group of people wanted to do when they were looking for him today.

Micang exhaled his wine, wrapped his mouth twice, and said with a smile to Youshan: "My lord, I won't tell you, I will invite you here today because I have something important to discuss." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Fang Youshan responded with a smile.

"My lord, you must know that the heavy snow in Yinzhou is almost waist-high in the flat place, and there is a person high in the thick place. What about us, we had a meeting in the middle of the night last night and decided to discuss with you, don't we need to open the regular position in Yinzhou? ”

When Mi Cangman spoke, he filled Fang Youshan with wine, and when the words fell, he held the wine cup and saluted again.

Fang Youshan was stunned, and then his face was suddenly full of anger, his eyes were round, but after a while, he smiled again, not a sneer, very relaxed, leaned back on the back of the chair, raised the wine cup to his mouth, raised his head and drank it all, closed his eyes and savored.

After another while, Fang Youshan opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Good wine, drink it." ”

"Drink, drink." Everyone followed as they were told.

"Mi Dongjia, President Mi." Fang Youshan spoke to Mi Cangman kindly.

"And the presidents and directors, it's not that someone on our side doesn't give you face, it's really you who are excessive. It snows heavily in Yinzhou, and you don't let the government open a warehouse to release grain, I don't say whether my garrison in Yinzhou can raid all your homes, I only say, even if you arrange the manpower in the army, how much wealth do you think you can make?

How long can you block news when you're getting rich? And then in which direction do you run with your money? How long will they know that it will take to chase you? Eat vegetables. ”

Fang Youshan stopped talking at this point and began to pick up vegetables.

The merchants were stunned, and later they looked at each other and smiled.

Vice President Qi Miao picked up the wine cup: "My lord, I respect you, you are a good official." ”

Fang Youshan didn't move.

Qi Miao drank the wine herself, refilled it, and held it in her hand again: "If you go back to your lordship, Xiaobei's seedling team is in Yinzhou, if you know that there are businessmen in Rulin County who have made a fortune, at most, there will be forward troops in three days at most, from the place where they said before to Rulin, but more than two hundred and sixty miles."

Although the road is closed by heavy snow, they will arrive within three days, if it is a small group of elites who are sent to protect them, before this time tomorrow, we will definitely be on the ground, more than two hundred and sixty miles, Xiaobei who has moved the murderous heart, they will not let me wait for twelve hours, we never doubt that they have such ability. ”

With that, he drained the wine.

"Oh? Fear? Fang Youshan asked with a smile, still not drinking.

"Afraid? Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Qi Miao also poured wine and said, "The adults misunderstood before, blame us for not explaining it clearly." ”

"Yes, blame us." Yonekura Man followed, and the others echoed.

Qi Miao said again: "My lord knows, there is only grain in Yinzhou's Changping Warehouse, which is not as good as the capital, which has long-frozen meat, oil, cloth, and other messy things, so it is useless for you to open Changping."

As for us, although we are cheap businessmen, we also know that we must make a lot of effort when it is critical. Everyone in the world is ruthless, and the way of heaven is ruthless. What about the people of our Chamber of Commerce...... I have never counted on God, what does God's life or death have to do with us?

It's against heaven to say evil, so let's decide to give it a try. Adults know that every time there is a catastrophe, the people in the affected places are suffering, and the people of our chamber of commerce think, why? With it, the sky is angry? Bah!

The heavens are angry, how? The people of Kaiguang County have not been picked up by Xiaobei and them, I don't know what is happening over there now, but I believe that they must be fine, Xiaobei will settle them well.

On weekdays, the people in our chamber of commerce are very idle, and now there is something to do, so let's sum it up and play against the sky. So I came to discuss with you, and we will not open the position often, and we will manage the remaining three counties in Yinzhou.

You should see that most of the dishes on the table are pork, and Ding is the largest supplier of live pigs in the state, and there are breeding bases in the other three counties except Kaiguang County, and he has sent a telegram asking the other two counties to cooperate in killing pigs, starting tomorrow morning, free supply of pork bone soup, and at the same time reduce the price of pork per knife by one penny. ”

Ding Yi stood up with the words, and the other party hugged his fists.

Qi Miao continued: "My family sells vegetable oil, and from tomorrow, the price of soybean oil will be reduced by one penny. Vice President Du's family sells grain, and the price of each bucket of rice is reduced by two yuan, and the price of ten catties of noodles is reduced by three yuan per bag. The president's family sells fine cotton and ready-to-wear, and tomorrow morning, cotton cloth will drop two pennies per horse, and the ready-to-wear will be discounted by 5%.

There are other industries under the management of the council, except for luxury goods, which will reduce the prices of the three counties of Yinzhou from tomorrow. At the same time, starting from tomorrow until the road is passable, there are free buns, porridge, soup, cakes and other breakfast every morning, free bone broth to drink at noon every day, and every night the villagers can participate in the barbecue party and watch the show.

Of course, during the day, they have to work, repair the broken houses in the three counties as soon as possible, and clear the snow. Please arrange all this.

We and other people from the Chamber of Commerce want to let people see God when they are affected by the disaster, let it see a holiday-like Yinzhou, let it see the happy smiling faces of children, and let it see how hot people's hearts are in the cold snow. Please, sir. ”

A cup of wine was drunk into Qi Miao's stomach again, and he praised: "It's delicious." ”

Fang Youshan was full of shock at this time, listening to Qi Miao's words, his eyes looked at the faces of the merchants, and when Qi Miao finished drinking, he also quickly stood up, arched his hands around, picked up the small wine jug, and did not pour it into the wine cup.

said to everyone: "Everyone, you are all good, it is the official who thinks wrong, the official feels guilty, I respect you, you are my loyal soldiers in Yinzhou, and the backbone of my Tang Dynasty, do it." ”

The wine pot in front of him was four taels, he drank a little just now, and there were more than three taels in it, and he dried it all in one go, which was much more enjoyable than a small wine cup of three yuan.

"." Everyone raised their cups at the same time.

"My lord, eat the vegetables and press the wine." The rice warehouse is full of people who are busy persuading vegetables.

Fang Youshan threw down the chopsticks, grabbed a big pig bone, bit it and began to tear it down, nodding while eating, and said vaguely that it was delicious.

In fact, the bones were salted, they were not fully cooked, and there was even foam on them, but Fang Youshan thought that this was the most delicious thing.

He believed that from tomorrow onwards, all the people of Yinzhou would praise this bone.

He never thought that today's arrival would be like this, he didn't even dare to think about it, he just thought that it was snowing heavily, and he needed to open a regular position to close the grain and put down the sudden surge in grain prices, as long as there was something to eat, the people could hold on.

He thought about it, if the prices of various commodities were too high, he would go to the people of the Chamber of Commerce and say, "Do you want to anger Xiaobao?" Say you're going to go bankrupt after making money once?

I think that the people who can scare the Chamber of Commerce can keep the prices in Yinzhou within a range, and it will be good after the road is opened, a large number of relief materials will pour in, and the price will not rise anymore.

But from now on, Fang Youshan felt that he didn't have to think about scaring anyone with Xiaobao anymore, he just needed to go back to the yamen to start mobilizing, mobilizing the people to unite and work, and then cooperate with the people of the chamber of commerce to mobilize various materials.

Then, I have to write a commendation letter and send it to the imperial court, just tell the truth.

This is the merchant of Ginshu, this is the merchant of the snowstorm in Ginshu. Tomorrow's people will be frightened, they will never think that when the disaster occurs, the prices in Yinzhou not only do not rise, but fall across the board, and there will be free food in the morning, noon and evening, as well as entertainment.

Under God's oppression, adults will not despair, the old man is still kind, and the child is still so happy, no, it shouldn't be thought so, it should be that the adult is especially hopeful for the life to come, the old man is more kind, and the child is happier.

It's just that the flesh on the bones is really not rotten.

Fang Youshan, who was stuffed into his teeth, picked a few times with his hand and said to the people around him: "You have to continue cooking, it's best to add some coriander foam and chopped green onions to the soup." ”

"What the adults said is that we will also prepare pepper and ginger foam, and add them ourselves if necessary to ward off the cold." Yonekura said in agreement, adding a little more.

Fang Youshan nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, thoughtful, I will write a recital when I go back, and present it to the imperial court at that time, and the telegram will send the news to the court first, so that the imperial court does not need to be in a hurry, so as to better allocate materials, and tell me your name in a while." ”

"Thank you, sir." Yonekura smiled and narrowed his eyes together: "We think so too, I hope the court can praise us in the newspaper." ”

"Yes, yes." Fang Youshan affirmed.

So the guests and hosts were happy, ate all the dishes on the table, and everyone went downstairs to separate, and each went back to arrange things.

******

The seedling protection team still camped by the Yellow River is busy.

They need to circle the location of the airdrop, a large range, and also have an obvious thick line, piled up with tree branches, someone is there from time to time to clear the falling snow, to give the people in the sky a different visual difference from other places, you can cast after crossing the line, you don't have to be accurate to within tens of meters.

The people of Hehejin quickly got along with the people of Kaiguang County, adults are not tired to find things to do, children go to rest after taking a bath, even if they have always wanted to play with Xiaobei, they have no energy, lie on the mattress, circle themselves into a group, and soon fall asleep.

"I'm sleeping too, and the plane is calling me." Xiaobei, who was worried and busy all morning, couldn't stand it, took off her coat outside, got into the quilt in a sweater, covered her head, and slept.

"All sleep, all sleep." Xiaoyuan didn't have the heart to wait stupidly, it is estimated that there will be time before the plane can come over, learn from Xiaobei, and lie down with clothes.

Xiaoyuan didn't stiffen up a few times, and looked for a place to rest one by one.

The people of the seedling protection team still act as they usually train, some people are completely relaxed, some people are in a state of rest, some people are doing light work, and some people are busy.

If it is adjusted in this way, it can maintain that some people can devote themselves to emergencies at full state at any time, which belongs to the most ordinary three-level combat readiness.

The current heavy snow is not worth the seedling team to be in a state of first-level combat readiness, so they are very relaxed, the light and dark posts are changed every hour, the back kitchen is 24 hours a day to provide food, overhaul the tent, clear the snow, it is too common for the seedling team.

However, in the eyes of the people of Hehehejin in Kaiguang County, the current seedling protection team is in a very nervous state, and the people of the seedling protection team are busy all the time.

There are also medical staff who are checking the health of people like themselves, some people are leading children to class, cooking chefs have to come every once in a while to ask if they are hungry and what they want to eat, and some people are doing fire prevention, moisture prevention, and collapse prevention inspections.

It's so busy that it will tire people out.

Some people couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that the seedling team was working so hard for themselves and other talents, so they found Sun Mao and discussed with him whether they should arrange more work for themselves and others, so as not to let the people of the seedling team get tired and lie down.

Sun Maozhen went to talk to someone, but when he came back, he was full of smiles, beckoned to a dozen of the most worried people, and led them out.

Fifteen followers wondered, and went to the outside of a tent with Sun Mao, and watched Sun Mao gently lift the curtain of the tent and motioned for them to look, and they came there one by one like thieves.

There are patchwork beds in the tent, there are ten in total, each bed sleeps a person, the posture is different, there is a gun at the head of the bed, and there are folded, taken off clothes, through the gap did not smell the smell of sweat and mud, and there was no smell of feet, but there was a faint fragrance of flowers, giving people the feeling that the tent was clean and tidy, and the people of the seedling team slept comfortably and steadily.

After fifteen people saw it, Sun Mao led them one by one tents, these were all resting people, walking dozens of tents, Sun Mao stopped and said to the people who followed: "See? There are still a lot of people sleeping, follow me. ”

Sun Mao changed a few more rows of tents, opened the tent curtain for people to see, and the people inside were also sleeping, but they didn't take off their clothes, and they were holding guns, as if sensing that someone was looking in, and opened their eyes to the people facing the curtain, smiled, and squinted again.

After looking at more than a dozen tents, Sun Mao said, "They are not busy, come with me." ”

Fifteen men followed, and outside the tent they had returned, voices could already be heard inside, some singing quietly, some telling jokes, and others muttering something.

Just as Sun Mao was about to pick a gap, the person inside spoke.

"I'm going to go out for a walk and see if there's anything going on, and whoever comes back wants to play chess and take it out." When the voice came, the door curtain was lifted from the inside, and a person with a notebook and pen walked out, and when he saw Sun Mao and others, he was stunned at first, and then said: "Sun County Order, come to play chess?" ”

"No, just take a look, curious." Sun Mao hurriedly replied.

"Look, look, look, if you don't understand, come and ask, everyone is idle, remember not to bring open flames into tents from tent to tent, some have arms and oil in them, if you are not careful, we will all go to the sky." The man walked away.

The fifteen people who followed Sun Mao were silent, and after a while, the Guan Jin of Hehejin ordered Huangfu Yehu to muttered to Xiahou Yi next to him: "It turns out that people don't take it seriously, I thought that when they encountered such a heavy snow, they would be very nervous and tired, and they actually wanted to fork in." ”

"Isn't it, if the snow wasn't still falling, and I've walked a lot before, I thought we'd be called there. Oh, and the vacation, it looks like a tour. But if you look at the intensity of their personnel patrols, the intensity of their personnel is greater than that of other regular local troops that we have seen before, and the contrast is really great. Xiahou Yi frowned and said in wonder.

Sun Mao next to him interjected: "What else can it be, Qiangbei, the low-intensity arrangement of the seedling protection team is the high-intensity arrangement of the troops in other places." Someone told me that the people in the seedling protection team are very efficient, the quality of individual soldiers is strong, the team cooperation is tacit, and everyone in the team knows how to plan and learn.

They don't just follow the orders of their superiors, they each know that the whole team wants to set goals, then battalion goals, then team goals, and they will adjust their own things at any time to match the work of others.

For example, if a team of ten people is doing something, and two people suddenly have something to do, the other eight people will immediately adjust themselves, share the affairs of the two people who left, and wait for them to come back and return to their respective positions, instead of waiting for the captain to find out the situation and then find a way to arrange and give orders.

That is to say, each of them knows the strategic intent, understands the tactical arrangement, they can assist other personnel at any time, and they can instantly become a command center, if there is an emergency, the overall formation is disrupted......"

"They're going to form a new formation right away." Huangfu Yehu took over in surprise.

"Doesn't that mean that each of them has the command ability above the battalion commander?" Xiahou Yi was surprised.

"Shouldn't it?" Sun Mao asked with a smile. He said: "Don't you dare to enter the seedling protection team twice? I have been told that they are not mere combatants, that they can form a national framework. We all know that the seedling team is the most powerful team in Datang, but we haven't specifically understood it before, and the people have never had the idea of knowing all the things about the seedling team, just need to know that they are omnipotent, right? ”

Xiahou Yi nodded: "Yes, as soon as you say that I really feel this way, after thinking carefully, I found that the seedling team is the most familiar and mysterious team, familiar is to know that the seedling team is the most solid support, and the mystery is not to know how they operate internally, think about it, I think, it's very interesting, don't you wonder?" Why is this happening? ”

As soon as he said, everyone pondered, really as he said, the seedling team seems to be around everyone, when children play the game of war, there will always be someone rushing to play the seedling team, but no child has ever thought about understanding the specific division of labor of the seedling team, each child has their own understanding of the seedling team, but what is the seedling team, who has asked specifically?

The internal operation and coordination methods of the seedling protection team have been selectively forgotten by everyone like this, it is incredible, what went wrong?

While everyone was thinking, some people suddenly felt chills all over their bodies, as if their thoughts were being controlled, and they forgot something.

"No, it's not." A voice suddenly sounded behind everyone, startling everyone and couldn't help but look back.

Xu Yilong came, he couldn't sleep, there were just a few problems, he was going to come over to learn from the people in the seedling team, so he slipped here, and the people who could make plans in the seedling team were not badly educated.

Sun Mao breathed a sigh of relief and introduced: "His name is Xu Yilong, my grandfather has a very high status in Jixian Academy, he told me a lot of things before, a few years older than Xiaobei and them, follow Xiaobei and them, while playing with them, while studying." ”

"Oh~!" The crowd understood.

Xu Yilong was not in a hurry to find someone to ask questions, but said to everyone: "You think from the wrong angle, the seedling team has not been mysterious, but many people are unwilling to waste time to understand, in everyone's eyes, the seedling team is not a combat team, it is a sublimated stability and happiness, an umbrella in the rain and snow, and a pergola under the scorching sun."

Where there is a seedling protection team, everyone can sleep with peace of mind, eat with peace of mind, and no longer be afraid of anything, think about it carefully, what is this?

It can be said that most people are familiar with their father or mother, but how many people specifically conduct a rational analysis of their parents' psychology and behavior? Many children imitate their fathers and mothers when they play at home, but who can completely reflect their parents' actions and psychology?

Come to think of it, do you really know your parents? Anyway, I can't, whenever I want to make a record, fill in the form of my father's or mother's behavior, and then apply behavioral psychology, I feel very awkward, it will make me stranger to my parents, and I will resented and resist it from the heart.

It's the same for the seedling team, it's not that we can't understand, but we don't want to go, subconsciously let ourselves refuse to analyze and dissect the details of the seedling team, we prefer to think that the seedling team is the closest to me, the most powerful, my reliance, my haven.

Others are not allowed to scold the seedling team, and others are not allowed to belittle the seedling team, otherwise it will be an insult to me, just like who scolds my parents. Got it, it's very simple. You're busy, I'm going to ask a few questions. ”

Xu Yilong analyzed, waved to Sun Mao and the others, and got into the tent.

Sun Mao's sixteen people looked at each other.

"Sure enough, there is learning." Huangfu Yehu said with emotion.

"He's right, think about it, it's really like that, hehe!" Xiahou Yi no longer felt scared.

"It turns out that the seedling team has always been in this position in my heart?" Sun Mao rubbed his hands.

The rest of the people nodded, and it seemed really simple to say it, when facing the seedling team, he already regarded himself as a child, but this is not a shame, the parent of the seedling team has done a good job, and has never disappointed, just as the snow is still falling but he does not have the slightest fear.

"Do you want to keep watching?" Sun Mao asked.

When everyone thought about it, they all shook their heads, there was nothing to see, just know that the seedling team was not tired.

"Or ...... Take a look at the kitchen? What's for dinner? Xiahou Yi proposed.

Sun Mao agreed: "It's okay, it's good to have braised pork ribs, the last time I ate it was a month ago." ”

"Is the one you eat the same as the one from the seedling protection team?" Huangfu Ye Yu quipped.

A person from Kaiguang County laughed twice and said: "It's the same, the Zhang and Wang families sent people to our county to help get rich, and there are cooks in it, you say it's different?" ”

"Why didn't I?" Huangfu Yehu asked enviously.

"Because you didn't send a telegram." Another person from Kaiguang County replied with a smile.

Huangfu Yeyu looked at Sun Mao and asked, "Send a telegram to them?" ”

"Of course, the child is saved, how can the parents not care? At that time, I sent it at the end of the first year, and they came at the beginning of the spring of the second year, and they saw that they were going to have a good life, but a heavy snowfall fell, and the livestock and poultry came here, so they were sent to the seedling protection team. ”

Sun Mao seemed to be comforting himself, and it seemed to be saying it to the people of Kaiguang County.

The people of Kaiguang County feel that it is a pity, but thinking that they are alive and already know how to breed, it is nothing to put in a little more effort.

Everyone was talking, going around and around, and they were about to get confused, and they asked a few people standing guard, and finally found a place to cook.

There are several fires in more than 20 large stoves that have not been extinguished, and pots are set up on them, some of them are boiling water, and some are boiling soup.

There were also a few people dismantling the freshly killed pigs, and a few cooks were sitting at a table under the shed eating, and it seemed that there was still wine.

Sun Mao and the others arrived, and before they could speak, a cook at the table stood up and greeted warmly: "Sun County Order, are you here?" Just as someone was about to go to you, come here, and sign the contract. ”

As he spoke, the cook pulled Sun Mao to the table.

A stack of papers was placed on the table, Sun Mao didn't look at it, and asked puzzledly: "What contract?" ”

"In the sales contract, Kaiguang County brought a lot of live poultry and livestock, and we bought it. There are two parts, one is the adult livestock and poultry, we pay directly, and the other part is the cubs, it is estimated that there is no way to bring them back alive, we also kill them, and when the snow stops, we will replenish your cubs, and you continue to raise, and you should sell a batch of poultry and livestock for slaughter. ”

As he spoke, the cook handed Sun Mao a pen and asked him to sign it, as well as the ink clay so that he could press his handprint or the seal of the county order.

Sun Mao dodged back: "No, no, no, don't sell it, give it to the seedling team, how can I ask for this money?" Where do you want to trap me? ”

The other people from Kaiguang County nodded violently in support of the county order.

Huangfu Yehu and Xiahou Yi also thought that they shouldn't ask for money, they ate and lived in other people's tents, and they were rescued by others, so how could they be embarrassed to collect money? You'll be poked in the back.

"What's up!" The cook glared at Sun Mao: "It's not our seedling team to buy, according to the policy of the imperial court, the loss of the people in the affected areas is responsible for the imperial court, and the people will be compensated after the disaster, and the local people will continue to develop. ”

Another cook helped: "Your Kaiguang County has been affected, if there is no rescue, there will be deaths, and now it is the loss of livestock and poultry." Compensation to you money, you can buy daily necessities, compensation to your cubs and poultry seedlings, you will not have idle labor waste.

Our seedling protection team eats for nothing, because this part of the livestock and poultry is calculated according to the loss, and we go to the account of the subsidy, not the loss, and our own account. ”

Huangfu Yehu seemed to understand, and asked, "Are you saying that the seedling protection team is cheating the imperial court's finances?" ”

"Which is false? Livestock and poultry really can't be taken out alive, even if the snow stops, the road is difficult to pass now, and the people of Kaiguang County have to rebuild the house when they go back, how to take care of it? So the loss is inevitable, but we eat it, not throw it in the snow and freeze. For example, if the poultry and livestock were not brought out and thrown in the county, are they all frozen to death now? It should be compensated, right? Do the people who go back to the county still have to take out the frozen ones and eat them? The cook explained.

Huangfu Yehu felt very reasonable again, and responded: "Listen to you, it seems to be true." ”

"That's right, we still took advantage, otherwise Kaiguang County would eat everything by itself, and then they would still get subsidies." The cook spoke in depth.

"Is it the same?" Xiahou Yi always felt that something was wrong.

Sun Mao was too, thinking about it, and said, "Aren't we eating here too?" And you also give us medical treatment. ”

"Sun County ordered you to turn a corner, and seeing a doctor has always been free, right?" The cook asked.

Sun Mao nodded, and the cook said: "Look, it is Datang's policy to see a doctor, it's not that we pay extra, the next thing is to eat, normally we pass by Kaiguang County, will you take out things for us to eat, and then we will also leave you something, usually the value is higher than what you give, it's the regular behavior of the seedling team, right?" ”

"Also, the people of Datang know everything, you pass by, the people invite you to eat, you leave something, everyone will gather together, and then take advantage of you. However, the livestock is not given to you by us, it is a state subsidy, and you are giving it to us for free. Sun Mao emphasized.

"Why is it given for nothing, the livestock will freeze to death if you don't bring it out, and then you will eat it when you go back, and what we are eating now is the frozen dead animal that you should eat, and you didn't give it? Will the court want your frozen livestock? The cook debated over and over again.

Sun Mao frowned: "But if the imperial court doesn't accept the things that freeze to death, it will inevitably convert a part of it to us, and then the subsidy will be deducted, because eating meat also improves the standard of living, and the imperial court used to be like this." ”

"But your livestock was eaten by us, and you didn't eat it yourself, of course the court will subsidize it." The cook said.

Huangfu Ye added a sentence: "Doesn't that mean that your seedling protection team takes advantage?" The imperial court fully subsidized it, and as a result, you were allowed to eat it, and Kaiguang County did not have any loss, what about you? ”

"Didn't we also provide food to the people of Kaiguang County? It's the same as before, what are we taking advantage of? The cook explained.

"No, there's a problem here, I always feel like there's something missing, let me think about it, what's wrong?" Huangfu Yelu was in pain, stretched out his hand and pulled his hair, pondering vigorously.

Xu Yilong came over at this time, hungry, and wanted to bake a cake with chili sauce, but she happened to sneak into this kitchen, but she didn't go to other kitchens, which was a coincidence.

He also happened to hear what Huangfu Yehu and the cook said, and helped with a smile: "Don't forget it, the people of the seedling team actually ate the things of the imperial court, it's not a big deal, because the money is from the seedling protection team, and many officials know that the imperial court will not give Zhang Wang and his family a penny, no matter how much money Zhang and Wang and his family pay."

Their official uniforms are made by themselves, they send their own hair, their benefits are made up by themselves, and even the official seals can be made by themselves, so Xiaobei's clothes are always over-controlled, of course, the government soldiers are even more over-controlled, but no one cares about it. ”

"Then I can't ask for money in Kaiguang County." Sun Mao stopped hearing this.

The cook said, "You are stupid, this money is not from my family, but from the court." Although it is said that the imperial court does not give my family money, some of the money in my family belongs to the imperial court, to be precise, it is two parts, one part is provided by Xiaobei to the children of the Tang Dynasty, there is a preferential exchange of tax benefits, and one part is for other people at home, and there is the right to manage tourist places given by the imperial court to make up for it.

This money will not be used by our family, it is for you, if you don't take it from us, we will hand it over to the court, and the court will give it to you, turn around, why bother. ”

"Is there one?" Huangfu Yelu, Xiahou Yi, and Sun Mao asked Xu Yilong together.

Xu Yilong proved: "Yes, but the Zhang and Wang families have always suffered losses when they exchanged with the imperial court, and they will always take out some extra money to subsidize the people, which used to be in the name of the imperial court, but now it doesn't matter."

Oh, don't think about this, you can use it if you give it to you, breed well, speed up the economic development of the county, and let every family live a good life, with more money and more taxes. Brother Xiaobao and Sister Juan didn't care about the money, and there were donations from others, they took care of it, and they didn't enter it into the imperial court. ”

"Okay." Sun Mao was very moved: "Xiaobao and Juan Juan have lost a lot. ”

"They also got it, not everyone can let every family in the Tang Dynasty give them a place for longevity, no one has ever dared to think so." Xu Yilong said enviously.

"It should be, it should be, Xiaobao and Juan Juan can't be gone." Sun Mao said again and again.

"Sign." The cook pushed the contract over, even if it was a disaster subsidy for the imperial court.

"It's expensive, it's expensive." Sun Mao objected when he saw it.

"It's not expensive, and there are houses and roads to be repaired, which are considered premiums, so I won't give you other subsidies." The chef explains.

Sun Mao said 'oh', picked up the pen to sign, took out an official seal from his arms and stamped it, took over a stack of banknotes, and turned around to divide it from house to house, not daring to keep it privately.

Xu Yilong got a dough cake, smeared it with hot sauce and roasted it over the fire.

******

At the fourth quarter of the first day of Shen, the sound of 'boom' finally came from the sky, and Datang's transport plane flew for more than three hours before following the Shuiyun family to the place.

The snow in the sky has become smaller as the water cloud said, but the sky is still very dark.

The nursery team and the people all came to the outside of the tent and lined up in a striking shape to wait for the sky to shine.

The pilot lowered the altitude, and finally could faintly see the bright pattern on the ground, and the sixteen planes circled twice, lowered the altitude again, threw parachutes one by one in the wind and snow, and were guided by the Shuiyun family and flew away.

The people of Kaiguang County and Hehejin are still looking up, and they are full of awe of the big guy who can fly in the sky, who has never seen an airplane.

The children shouted and shouted with joy, and the adults puffed up their chests, at this moment they were extremely proud, this is the Tang Dynasty, their motherland, flying from the sky and delivering things when the road is impassable.

Ignoring distance, ignoring the environment.

This is a resoluteness, this is a will, and it belongs to the will of Datang.

"What else can't we Datang do?" Sun Mao licked his lips and said with a smile.

"It's so convenient to fly in." A little kid summed up.

"So when you grow up, you must not betray Datang, otherwise what will be thrown down will not be what we need, but a deadly bomb." Becky said to the child next to him.

The little doll nodded solemnly: "I know, why betray, how good is Datang, it turns out that the plane can still throw bombs and toys?" ”

"Absolutely, and cakes, when there are more planes in the future, I will buy a few and transport toys and cakes for you." Xiaobei said, in fact, he thought the same thing in his heart.

"Okay." The little doll is hopeful.
