Chapter 2560

The path from the east of the city has been connected and was officially put into use two days ago, but man Bao came for the first time.

When you get out of the east gate, you go north. It's just the opposite of Huangzhuang. After you go out for a while, there is a small road extending from the front. People and livestock come out between the ridges. There can be a row of green land and grass in the middle, potholes and mud on both sides, and then there is the kind of ridge on the side.

Unless you walk, ride a horse and ride a donkey, few people take this road. Man Bao only walked three times. Every time they try not to sit in the car, or they can bump you out.

But now the road has been leveled and extended for a large section. The ridges on both sides have been leveled, filled with stones and then beaten with soil.

The left and right lanes are smaller than the official road, but they are also flat, which is very comfortable.

Man Bao rode on his horse and was more comfortable when the wind blew. He was more satisfied with the road. "It's right to build the road."

Bai Shan nodded and motioned her to look forward. On both sides of the road, there were farmers carrying a burden with a lot of vegetables. Seeing this line of motorcade, they were a little timid, so they didn't dare to walk again. Instead, they stood on the side of the road and sideways waited for them to pass.

Today is the third day of the opening of this road. People and livestock are not allowed to walk on the road.

But they passed by yesterday. I heard that the east gate into the capital from here is very fast. As soon as they enter, they pass two workshops, and then they can get a position by paying two Wen in the east city. Once the vegetables can be sold for 80 or 90 Wen.

If they're lucky, they don't have to go to Dongshi. They just walk through two workshops all the way. The owner buys some and the West buys some. They can sell all the dishes without paying the two Wen.

The main reason is that there is no tax on vegetables entering dongchengmen.

Of course, there is no tax on vegetables in Dongcheng gate. Not only vegetables, but also chickens, ducks, fish and eggs are not collected in Dongcheng gate. This is an order recently issued by county magistrate Guo in order to attract more people to go to Dongcheng gate.

At least people in Wannian county have to go to the east gate.

As Wannian county magistrate, he still has this power.

There's no way. Chang'an County is so hateful. Wannian county is the same as Chang'an County. But because the imperial city is assigned to Chang'an County, they are at the same level, but Tang He is secretly pressing him.

The most hateful thing is that even if the west gate belongs to Chang'an County, the south gate also belongs to Chang'an County. Obviously, the territory in the city is almost half and half. Why should Chang'an County at the gate be more than their Wannian county?

Business travelers like to go through the south gate.

Few people go to the east gate.

Now, he has added one more way, and he has to attract more people to say anything. Therefore, Guo county magistrate asked the chiefs to publicize in the village early and encouraged everyone to send chickens, ducks, fish, meat, vegetables, fruits and vegetables to the capital.

He wanted to cheer up the people under his jurisdiction, but they rarely saw such a noble person and such a convoy. They suddenly met on the empty road, which was just opened. They were a little timid for a moment.

After stopping, he hesitated whether to kneel or not.

Man Bao looked at them curiously. When he arrived, he stared at their burden and asked, "is this cherry home grown or wild, sweet?"

The farmer was stunned and forgot whether to kneel or not. He replied, "go back to your mother. This is the fruit tree in my backyard. I dare not say it is sweet, but it must not be very sour."

He didn't dare say it was sweet.

Man Bao immediately asked, "how much is a kilo?"

When asked about the price, the farmer was not very nervous. He cracked his mouth and said with a smile, "fifteen Wen and a kilo."

It's more expensive than meat.

Man Bao looked at it and still thought it looked good, so he said, "give it to me... Can I try one first? If it's delicious, I'll buy it all."

As soon as the farmer heard this, he immediately picked a big and red one for her, and then looked at her expectantly.

Man Bao took a bite. It was a little sour, but it was much better than the wild cherry on the mountain in their village, so he waved his hand and said, "I'll buy it all."

Anyway, they have a lot of people today. They're not afraid they can't finish eating.

As soon as the farmer heard this, he was immediately happy. He immediately put down his burden and borrowed a weight from the people nearby to weigh her.

Yes, they share a scale, and the scale is not theirs. They borrowed it from the village head and sent him two eggs each time.

He calculated the weight and soon reported, "three kilograms and nine Liang..."

He smiled at man Bao Han and said, "madam, we'll let you count one or two, even if you weigh three and a half kilograms."

This is how they buy vegetables. Half is easy to calculate, and more or less is not easy to calculate. Therefore, they erase more and add less.

Then he took out a big leaf and wrapped the cherry for man Bao. He squatted on the ground and broke his fingers to calculate how much three and a half kilograms is.

Man Bao stood waiting.

After waiting for a long time, he found that he got stuck when he reached the third kilogram. After touching the sweat on his forehead, he continued to count with his fingers and pulled the people on the side.

It's hard for them.

They seldom sell things. If it weren't for the fact that the head of the village always said that it was spring, the vegetables in the fields grew fast, and the people in the city didn't have any food to eat, and now they live in drought, they can't grow in the fields for the time being. Dongchengmen doesn't charge money for vegetables entering the city now, otherwise they wouldn't have the courage to send vegetables into the city.

But a kilo of vegetables is only two or three Wen. No one buys vegetables for more than ten Wen. People buy cherries in one or two. Suddenly, a round bag comes. Farmers are very anxious.

Man Bao saw that he couldn't figure it out, so he squatted on the ground to help him count, "one kilogram is 15 Wen, that two kilos is 30 Wen, and three kilos is 45 Wen..."

The farmer's face was blank.

Man Bao took out a string of copper coins and opened them. He counted fifteen Wen and put them in his hand. "This is a kilo."

He counted fifteen more words and put them in his hand, "this is a kilo..."

Everyone gathered to see the excitement. Company commander Yu and Mingda couldn't help getting out of the car and watching together.

Man Bao counted another fifteen Wen and put it in the palm of his hand, "this is a kilo."

Nong humanitarian: "this is three kilograms."

Man Bao nodded.

Then he counted fifteen Wen, put it in his other palm, and said, "this is the fourth Jin, but you only have half a Jin, so the money scores half, one for you and one for me..."

Man Bao puts one in the palm of a person beside him, and then puts another in his own palm. The eighth one is over, just in the other person's hand.

"That's half," she said with a smile

The other party narrowed his eyes, "why doesn't the lady have an eighth text?"

Man Bao said with a smile, "half of the fifteen is seven and a half. If you let me have one or two, I'll let you have half a Wen. It's still that you let me have more."

The farmer was stunned. After collecting the money, he respectfully saluted Zhou man, retreated to the side with the others, and waited until they left.

Man Bao gave the cherry to Mingda and said with a smile, "this is sour and sweet appetizer. You can eat some."

Mingda nodded with a smile and handed it to Changyu. Changyu hugged her and got on the carriage with her happily.

Man Bao got on his horse and said to Bai Shan, "county magistrate Guo may let the mayor teach the villagers to count."

Bai Shan also nodded, "enlightenment should not be limited to morality."
