Chapter 392 If you don’t know it, don’t force it
Although Chen Dongyue knew that one stone of grain was probably a little over one hundred kilograms, around one hundred and one hundred and twenty kilograms.
but!
She really didn't know how much one hundred and twenty pounds of wheat was and how long it could feed one person.
A common problem among modern humans is that they have no basic idea of how much this kind of food is.
Seeing her hesitating, Kong Jie knew that this sister-in-law had no idea about the concept of one stone of food.
So he had to tell his sister-in-law the basic common sense that a normal person should have.
"Sister-in-law, a soldier of our Beilin Army only eats about two dan of food a year.
Think about it, we are strong laborers who have to march and fight! A person can only afford two shi of food a year.
How many people are there in Ci'an Hall now? Damn it, you helped thirty people, right? "
"Twenty-eight," Chen Dongyue counted two, and then seven, "I found two petty thieves the day before yesterday, and I have already sent them to the government."
"...Okay, even if there are twenty-eight, plus the good wife and an aunt who was brought to help from Zhuangzi, there will be a total of thirty people, right?" Kong Jie made a three-hand gesture and said in front of Chen Dongyue Shake.
Chen Dongyue nodded honestly.
Kong Jie continued, "Most of these thirty people are old people and children. Do they consume more food in a year than we soldiers?"
Thirty people, one hundred stones of food, this... Lord Sun will definitely not be able to agree to this. "
"Oh~~~~" Chen Dongyue nodded, "I understand. But don't you know whether Mr. Sun will agree or not, you have to ask? Just give it a try."
"Sister-in-law, what I mean is that Ci'antang can't afford one hundred dan a year, so I guess fifty dan will be enough." Kong Jie had to speak more clearly.
But Chen Dongyue stretched out her annoying right index finger and shook it back and forth.
"You don't understand. If the food is placed in Master Sun's hands, the common people will not get much benefit.
But if we put it in Ci'an Tang, we can help more people.
For example, in the future, during the Double Ninth Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival, we can all donate rice and porridge.
Or if there are eligible lonely elderly people who don’t want to live in our Ci’an Hall, we can also send them some food every month.
There are many ways to provide relief, but what the government lacks are people willing to do these thankless tasks.
What Ci'an Hall is short of is food.
Two phases combined into one~! Wouldn’t the people of Liaocheng be able to profit? "
"Sister-in-law is righteous," Kong Jie suddenly clasped his fists and shouted, "I was thinking too narrowly."
"...I just borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha," Chen Dongyue felt a little embarrassed by Kong Jie's yelling, "It's not so righteous.
Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. By the way, the senior deputy recently led the inspection team, and no more misunderstandings occurred, right?
It's been two months, merchants and vendors should be able to adapt, right? "
Kong Jie nodded, "I've basically adapted to it, and Deputy Director Gao has also adapted a lot."
"That's good," Chen Dongyue said with a somewhat joking look on her face, "Ah, when the senior deputy first started to lead people on inspections, there were people crying and shouting every day to go to the government office to find the officials, saying that we were doing inspections. Si invited bandits to collect protection money.
Ma Jingcheng came to me every now and then and asked me to transfer the senior deputy back to the Inspection Department Yamen as a civilian.
But look at the senior deputy, could he be a civilian? !
I didn't even have to ask, I knew she couldn't agree to transfer to a civilian job.
You don’t know how much pressure I was under at the beginning..."
"Cough cough cough cough cough!!!!!!!!!" Kong Jie suddenly coughed loudly.
Chen Dongyue immediately changed her attitude, "But I knew at that time that Deputy Director Gao would definitely be qualified for the inspection task.
So at that time, I reassured Ma Jingcheng repeatedly, making him believe in my vision and the ability of our senior deputy.
In less than a month, let alone businesses in Liaocheng operating in a standardized manner, the number of petty thefts will definitely be reduced by at least half! "
After saying that, the man pretended to look back casually, and then as if he suddenly discovered someone behind him, he shouted in surprise: "Eh? Sister-in-law! Brother Cheng! Why haven't you left today?"
Zhang Cheng had previously received Dadunzi's approval and had already moved in with his wife.
So usually after sending Dadunzi back, Zhang Cheng would run to the small courtyard of the Gao family across the street and rarely appear in the farmland behind Zhuangzi.
Zhang Cheng grinned and said: "Your sister-in-law wants to eat spiced eggplant, stir-fried chicken, duck soup with dried bamboo shoots today... Ouch, ouch, I, it's me who wants to eat it, not your sister-in-law!"
So come and buy a chicken, a duck, and some eggplants from Hu Zhuangtou. "
Gao Shuwan put down her grip on Zhang Cheng's waist, wrinkled her nose slightly in embarrassment, and then said to Chen Dongyue: "It's not that I don't want to do civil service, I just can't read. But our whole family is illiterate."
The topic change was very abrupt and not smooth at all.
Chen Dongyue, who was deeply shocked by Gao Shuwan's sincerity, opened her mouth slightly.
Judging from this sister's tone, her whole family is illiterate, so why does she seem to feel a little lucky?
However, as an investor in the academy, Chen Dongyue subconsciously wanted to make a suggestion to the Gao family.
"Then sister-in-law, you can let your family members go to our academy to learn how to read. Our academy's tuition is very cheap, and we also take care of the food.
If one of the family members is literate, he can come back and teach everyone. In addition, it will be much more convenient to write letters and read contracts in the future, right? "
"Yeah," Gao Shuwan nodded happily, "Okay."
She is genuine, straightforward and enthusiastic.
But when I talk, I like to jump out word after word.
In addition, his face has always been expressionless, and he looks like a practicing person, so his temperament is indeed a bit intimidating.
The couple said a few more words to Chen Dongyue, then said goodbye and walked to the opposite door.
On the way, Zhang Cheng suggested to his wife, "Wan'er~~~~"
The daughter-in-law ignored her and walked forward without looking away.
"Wan'er!!" Zhang Cheng shouted again.
"Ah?" Gao Shuwan slowed down and looked at the man next to her, "Are you calling me?"
"...Otherwise, who would you call me?!" Zhang Cheng slumped his shoulders.
"What's the matter, tell me." After Gao Shuwan finished speaking, she added, "Wan'er feels too weak and I don't like it. You can call me... Dawan."
"..." Zhang Cheng opened his mouth, but still didn't say 'Big Bowl'.
His wife's name is Dawan, so if she gives birth to a daughter in the future, will she be called Xiaopen? !
Give birth to a son and call him Datan? !
What the hell.
not called.
So Zhang Cheng directly skipped the title and suggested to his wife: "Daughter-in-law, you are actually a very nice person, but you always have an expression on your face, so others feel a little scared when they look at you.
Didn’t you say last night that you wanted to get closer and interact more with Dongyue, Song Yun and the other girls?
Then I think you should smile more when you are fine. "
Gao Shuwan slowed down again and nodded, "That's right. My parents said that I don't look good when I smile."
"How could it be?" Zhang Cheng quickly denied, "You are good-looking no matter what. Just smile and let me see."
"Okay." Gao Shuwan nodded seriously and stopped.
Turning around, she faced Zhang Cheng, licked her lower lips, and then grinned, showing eight teeth.
It seems like it wants to eat people.
Zhang Cheng's Adam's apple moved and he slowed down and said:
"It's a good smile, but when we smile, we have to raise the corners of our mouth~~~ We can't just grin and be done with it."
Mention it.
it is good.
Gao Shuwan grinned and nodded, then tried her best to lift her upper lip upward, exposing the gums of her upper teeth.
Because the mouth moves too much, the roots of the face, eyebrows and eyes are also wrinkled together.
Well, it's more like eating people.
"..." Zhang Cheng regretted his suggestion.
He sighed softly and patted his wife on the shoulder, "Forget it, wife, you should keep your face from now on.
This smile can only be mine from now on. "
But Gao Shuwan was still grinning and trying to lift her upper lip higher, exposing more of her upper gums.
"Daughter-in-law!!! Stop!!!" Zhang Cheng finally couldn't help but cover his wife's mouth, "You think I'm a fart, I'm the wrong wife, I shouldn't force you."
"...Why are men so changeable?" Gao Shuwan slapped Zhang Cheng's hand away, glanced at him dissatisfied, then walked out of Dehe Villa quickly, carrying chickens and ducks.
Zhang Cheng, who was following her, was carrying a basket of eggplants in one hand and slapped his mouth twice with the other.
"Tell you to talk too much!!"
He spoke to his own mouth.
