Chapter 260 Stockpiling Food



Some people thought that 20 cents per pound was still too expensive, while others thought that 50 pounds was not too much and was cheaper than outside. Zhou Lizheng's 2,000 pounds of corn were quickly distributed among the villagers.

Some people who didn’t buy it don’t care, as they always think the price will go back down.

During this period, neither Zhu Wenyan nor Zhang Rushan came to school.

Later, Song Yuehua met Zhang Rushan in the school and asked about the pigherd.

The matter of the swineherd is indeed somewhat illegal. A few years ago, the imperial court banned the dynasty from trading with the Desert Kingdom. In the past year, a large amount of goods purchased by the swineherd were transported to the Desert Kingdom.

The two men could not meet the swineherd in private, but through eavesdropping, they knew that the swineherd should be unaware of the situation. The people from the Desert Kingdom disguised themselves as northerners through the locals and purchased the pigs at a high price. The swineherd thought he had gotten a great bargain.

Little do people know that there is no free money in the world.

Zhang Rushan said depressedly, "You are right. I have no merit at all. Last time, I was barely able to defend myself because of our parent-child relationship. This time, the established facts of the incident, given the character of County Magistrate Yan, I am afraid that no matter whether you have been deceived or not, I will judge you as treason."

"It's too late for you to take the imperial examination now." Song Yuehua said.

Zhang Rushan shook his head and said, "A lawyer must be a scholar with a high academic reputation."

Song Yuehua sighed and said, "I will write a letter, please send it to the post station as soon as possible to see if I can give you a chance to defend yourself."

After returning home, Song Yuehua sent a letter to Yan Fengjian.

The letter only asked for a chance to defend himself.

In the following days, Zhu Wenyan ran back and forth between the county and the village, while Zhang Rushan stayed in the study all day, studying the laws of our dynasty with Master Yi.

About 8 days later, Yan Feng received a reply and asked Zhang Rushan to go find the yamen's legal advisor, who would make arrangements.

After hearing the news, Zhu Wenyan was very grateful.

Zhang Rushan said happily, "Daya, I knew you were the best."

"Goudan, don't let me down." Song Yuehua said.

Zhang Rushan, "..."

Song Yuehua didn't care about the pigherd's affairs anymore. The food boxes she ordered from Carpenter Yang had already been made. She put a few layers of cloth inside and put packages of food wrapped in oil paper on them. Three large boxes were filled. The food inside was durable and would not go bad even if kept for a long time, so she could eat it slowly.

Xiaoyu also sent over the lesson plan she wrote for Class B.

"Class B?" Song Yuehua asked with a smile.

Xie Yu said a little embarrassedly, "Sister Song is right. People must have ambition. If I am always timid, I will only be able to stay in Class D."

Song Yuehua was very pleased and said with a smile, "Work hard and strive to teach Class A in the future."

After sending Xiaoyu's birthday gift, Song Yuehua now spends the whole day looking up at the sky hoping for rain. If there is a drought, it would be a disaster.
