While copying, Fu Qingyao and Xu Qi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, had a heart-to-heart talk about managing their family business. Meanwhile, the people in the courtyard were playing a game of scheming with Lao Shen and Lao Yan's family, and everyone got something out of it.
Liu Neng returned to the entrance of the courtyard house and told driver Li to drive the grain seeds to the planting base.
The alleyway on the left side of the courtyard leads directly to the planting base, which is very convenient.
While Zheng Ya was directing the soldiers of the First Company to build a branch canal, he sensed Liu Neng's arrival in the vehicle and turned to Yan Fugui, who was keeping accounts on the right, and said, "Old Yan, go and tell them to weigh and register the grain seeds."
"Alright, I'm good at this, don't worry!" Yan Fugui had been handling accounts with five or six hundred people for several days and was basically familiar with Zheng Ya's new way of recording accounts.
Although he was still a bit inexperienced and overwhelmed, Yan Fugui was very happy. He had taken charge of the accounting of the planting base and established himself as the accounting director. It was hard not to be happy.
Zheng Ya's commission to him was one yuan for every hundred yuan saved for the planting base.
This means you've found money!
Where can you find extra income that isn't included in your salary?
The key is that with such a large planting base, the quantity of grains, vegetables, and fruits being processed must be substantial.
Now, he's also in the midst of a grain seed production promotion business, which makes Yan Fugui so happy that his mouth is practically crooked with a grin. The money is coming his way!
In Yan Fugui's view, one shouldn't work for others to induce fertility without getting paid, right?
Zheng Ya hadn't thought about that, but he was worried that the Zhengde period wouldn't be enough to produce such a large cartload of grain. What should he do?
A large truckload of grain, estimated at five tons.
To cultivate five tons of grain seeds, a century-old high-quality seed, is equivalent to improving the quality of the original grain seeds tenfold, and requires 50,000 each of positive virtue and negative heart value.
Zheng Ya was in a real predicament; Zhengde's value had dwindled to just over two thousand.
In less than an hour, he gained four or five hundred Zhengde points. This was because Banggeng set an example for the children in the courtyard, taught them to count, and won praise from the people in the courtyard, which led to the increase in Zhengde points.
But with just this little bit of Zhengde Points, it's impossible to accumulate 50,000 Zhengde Points before tomorrow!
At this moment, Yan Fugui greeted Liu Neng as he got off the car and said, "Comrade, please tell the driver to unload the grain seeds at the supply tent on the left side of the camp."
After you're done, come with me for a moment. The grain needs to be weighed and recorded..."
"What? The grain seeds need to be recorded and weighed? Are you going to charge me for it?" Liu Neng had just turned around and told the driver, Li, to drive the car towards the supply tents that Yan Fugui was pointing to when he heard the second half of Yan Fugui's sentence. He turned around anxiously and angrily rebuked him.
In fact, this batch of grain seeds was fraudulent.
The ministry arranged for a truck to transport one ton of grain seeds to Zheng Ya's home, so that Zheng Ya could cultivate one ton of seeds within his capabilities.
The higher-ups knew that martial artists had limited internal strength. Even though Zheng Ya was a martial arts master, his internal strength was limited and it was impossible for him to generate a large number of grain seeds in a short period of time. Therefore, they did not arrange for anyone to transport more grain seeds.
However, before Liu Neng arrived, he was instigated by others and became greedy and ambitious, so he temporarily added four tons of grain seeds.
If things are done well, it's all thanks to him.
Wouldn't a promotion and raise make the minister happy?
Who would have thought that Yan Fugui's suggestion to weigh and record the accounts would shatter Liu Neng's greed? Feeling a sense of panic about losing his job and face after his shameful deeds were exposed, he used his power to intimidate others.
Unfortunately, Yan Fugui, having been trained in teaching for several years, was not intimidated. Faced with Liu Neng's unfriendly threat, he pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and smiled, "This comrade looks like an official from the Ministry of Agriculture."
Be familiar with the procedures of the cadre unit.
The work handled must be recorded, the materials output must be registered, and even the people entering and leaving the unit must be registered.
Don't tell me there's something wrong with the source of this batch of grain seeds?
"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense. This batch of grain seeds came from the Ministry of Agriculture, how could there be a problem?"
"Alright, weigh and register, do as you please!" Liu Neng was startled by his last sentence and broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly waved his hand and told him to weigh and register.
What's wrong with bringing in four more tons of grain seeds if it's free?
Ultimately, it's all about increasing the amount of grain available next year. Even if the minister knew, he wouldn't say anything bad about it.
Unfortunately, Yan Fugui's next words broke his defenses: "Hmm, that's great, and I'll also give you five cents for every pound of seeds you grow..."
"What? You guys really dare to ask for money?"
"Look carefully, this is my work ID. I'm the head of the Seed Section of the Ministry of Agriculture. This is a state-owned unit, responsible for cultivating seeds for the country. You want to take my money?" Liu Neng angrily pulled out his work ID, showing off and putting pressure on the company.
Yan Fugui tucked the notebook under his left armpit, freed his right hand to take off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, placed them on his left hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe the spittle that Liu Neng had sprayed on the lenses, and said: "Comrade, you are a section chief in the Ministry of Agriculture."
But we're not from the Ministry of Agriculture, are we?
Shouldn't we eat too?
People in rural areas grow grain for the country and still get to eat from the same pot.
"What, you, a section chief in the Ministry of Agriculture, expect us to starve while we work to grow seeds for the country and its people?"
"Oh, this is just being unreasonable..."
"Our planting base's Xiao Zheng said that by promoting the growth of high-quality seeds, the yield can be increased by about three to five times. Who do you think is being unreasonable?"
"But isn't your fee too high?"
"They charge five cents for each pound of seed, so five tons of seed would cost five hundred yuan! Are they robbing me?" Liu Neng felt that if he had to pay this amount, even if he went back to the Ministry of Agriculture for reimbursement, it would be the same as making a self-initiated blunder and getting exposed.
It cannot be said that they communicated with Zheng Ya to obtain more seeds for fertilization, but they pulled back and forth twice.
If you lie, you'll be exposed when they weigh and register the items.
After handling one matter, Liu Neng was exhausted from running around, contributing money and effort, and was still reprimanded by the minister. He was caught in the middle.
At that time, all the hard work and scheming would be like shooting oneself in the foot. Liu Neng was furious just thinking about it. What kind of situation was this?
Yan Fugui shook his head and sighed: "Alas, as you can see, apart from the army sending a battalion to support the construction of this planting base, all the expenses were borne by Xiao Zheng alone."
You people in the Ministry of Agriculture must know very well how large Zheng's family business is.
Ultimately, it's all for your Ministry of Agriculture to develop grain seeds and establish planting bases. If you don't provide some financial support, we have no objection!
But if you want our Xiao Zheng to produce additional grains, isn't it reasonable and legal to give him money?
After all, Xiao Zheng doesn't have the money to start a planting base. What's affecting is the nation's food supply, not our embezzlement of 500 yuan from your Ministry of Agriculture. Your overreaction, spewing insults at me, is that reasonable?"
"I... I'll give you the money, okay?" Liu Neng almost cried, and only after promising to give him the money could he calm Yan Fugui down.
Otherwise, Yan Fugui would have demanded a cleaning fee for spraying him with spittle, and if word got out, Liu Neng would be too ashamed to show his face.
Just then, Zheng Ya was shocked and overjoyed. It was too unexpected! This wave of Zhengde points came just in time!
Now we won't have to worry about not having enough seeds to grow a whole cartload of grain during the Zhengde era!
But where did such a large sum of Zhengde coins, almost 270,000, come from?
