When the visitor saw Jiang Hexi getting off the car, and it was a civilian car, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he was just a little more comfort than nothing.
Jiang Hexi brought a cup of tea and said to the man: "Master, aren't you tired of holding the sign? Go back and forth, why don't you find a place to have a good rest?"
The man shook his head, his lips were so dry that he was deadly cracked. He looked at Jiang Hexi and said, "It's nothing. You are ordinary people and you can't help me with justice. You are urbanites and don't understand the suffering of our rural people."
As he said that, he put down the sign in his hand and continued to sit there to seek justice.
The emperor whispered to Huo Jingchen in the car: "This man doesn't seem to believe us. Look, what can you do to make him believe us?"
Huo Jingchen took a breath, frowned and said, "It is not difficult to believe him, look at me."
As he said that, he found a piece of mud in the car and put it on himself. Then he stretched out his feet and pretended to ask what was going on outside and why it was so noisy.
Jiang Hexi saw the pair of shoes that were dissatisfied with the soil and immediately knew what to do. He said to the old man: "Old man, you misunderstood us. Look at our boss, but the farmers nearby, look at his shoes.
There are a lot of mud."
The old farmer looked at the feet and it seemed that they were not the one they had just now.
But, I really forgot what happened just now. So I looked at Jiang Hexi suspiciously and said, "Oh? Since that's the case, you should know about the seed unjust case three years ago?"
Jiang Hexi nodded and said, "It was three years ago that people took out grains and ate them, and then the commercial grains were farmed for farmers, leaving many farmers with no harvest."
The old farmer nodded, looked at Jiang Hexi, and smiled and said, "This girl is so eloquent and knowledgeable."
Jiang Hexi disagreed and chuckled in a low voice: "It's just something I heard casually. Do you really think I'm a farmer?"
Huo Jingchen gently patted Jiang Hexi on the shoulder and signaled her to be more serious.
The old farmer said deeply: "That time, when the seeds were produced, I already knew that those seeds could not germinate, but the officers and soldiers forced to give us the seeds, and then we planted them, and the seeds later...
…”
As he said that, tears flowed down his face.
Because of famine, my eldest son was very strong. However, because of these things, he became hungry and died within half a year.
Jiang Hexi nodded and said, "Don't such a thing be handled by the yamen? What the emperor said back then."
The old farmer shook his head helplessly and said, "Not only that, I also heard that these grain seeds should have been kept by us farmers themselves, but the harvest was not so good that year, and we all said that there was not so much.
The grain was still collected from the valley and returned to the grain as food to fill in the amount."
Jiang Hexi looked at the old farmer and cried as he spoke.
Huo Jingchen asked, "Where did you come from the grain seeds later?"
The old farmer smiled wryly and said, "Of course it was lent to us by the government."
Huo Jingchen smiled and said, "Isn't that perfect? Since the government has given it to you, I'll just give it to them after planting it in autumn, wouldn't it be better?"
The old farmer frowned and looked at Huo Jingchen and said, "It would be good if things were as you said, but they actually mixed our seeds and grains together. What's even more annoying is that they don't know how to choose seeds, just do whatever they want.
Take out a large handful of them from the grain warehouse.”
Huo Jingchen shook his head and looked at the old farmer and said, "Are these people all busy with food? Don't you know how to deal with it?"
Jiang Hexi looked at Huo Jingchen, then at the emperor, and smiled and said, "I'm afraid they don't know. Don't worry, you will definitely find an opportunity in the future."
Huo Jingchen looked at the old farmer and smiled and said, "Old man, don't raise the sign here. We will help you deal with your grievances. Take back the silver coins and see when it's convenient to buy some seeds.
”
The old farmer shook his head and smiled and said, "You are not the imperial envoy, you don't understand. Why do they use grain as seeds for us? That's because the price of seeds is high, and the price of grain is low."
Huo Jingchen said helplessly: "How much can this change? Why do they care about such a little thing?"
The emperor said: "If this continues, it will be a disaster for the country and the people. When I come out, I will teach him a lesson!"
The old farmer trembled and took the silver they gave, then put away his flag, and then went to the ground to see what could be saved.
Jiang Xiaoqi looked at the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is that there is no one in our granary who really knows how to farm, otherwise there would be no absurd situation like treating food as seeds."
The emperor nodded and asked, "Are there no rural people in this city? How do they all work as jobs?"
Huo Jingchen said to the emperor helplessly: "They can't help but say it. Many gentry and tyrants dare to do anything because of the trend of interests. However, if there is a farmer in this yamen, they will plant or plant according to his plan.
If you collect, buy, sell, or produce, you may be more efficient."
Jiang Hexi quickly interrupted, "Isn't that true? I'm afraid it's those intellectuals who don't like the people coming from the countryside, and then they specifically target others, and then they naturally want to escape."
The emperor nodded and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask the Ministry of Personnel to issue a document. There must be more than one official in every county who has been a farmer. Otherwise, the days ahead will not be over."
Jiang Hexi looked at Huo Jingchen and the emperor again. Both of them looked serious.
Jiang Hexi held the emperor's hand and smiled and said, "Oh, Your Majesty, go for a walk in the town again to see if there are any treasures you can find."
Huo Jingchen nodded and asked, "Then don't you need to take care of your grandma?"
Jiang Hexi shook his head helplessly. This matter of taking care of grandma is of course very important. But thinking that if we don’t rectify this research on agriculture, the whole Daliang will fall into ignorance and panic.
Now that we have such conditions, we must make those farmers more powerful and integrate them into social life. We should also change the minds of those people. Don’t think of rejection when you see rural people. After all, everyone is a family.
