After walking for a while, the two of them realized that Yu Yunwen had not followed, and was still standing there motionless like a sculpture.
Lu You stepped forward and called Yu Yunwen. Yu Yunwen suddenly woke up and looked at Lu You in surprise. After a while, he realized that he was distracted.
"Where are you going?"
"Go and see the Farmers' Association. I'm very interested in this Farmers' Association... No, I'm going to spy on the Farmers' Association's information."
Lu You put it another way.
Yu Yunwen's eyes suddenly became very complicated when looking at him.
After a while, Yu Yunwen nodded slowly and took hard steps forward with Lu You.
The farmer's association in this village is in the midst of intense work. At this critical moment of the autumn harvest, the president of the farmer's association, Ma Dazhuang, and the instructor of the farmer's association, Qian Gaoyang, are leading the farmers' association to organize the village's labor force to carry out a comprehensive autumn harvest task. .
Every household is in the fields harvesting grain, and most of the farmers' association staff are also in the fields. Only the instructor and five staff with arithmetic skills are left in the farmers' association to handle complex mathematical calculations and written records. .
These are important information that must be submitted to the superior township farmers' association and relevant government departments for review, and there must be no errors.
When Wang Qi arrived with Lu You and Yu Yunwen, he saw six farmers' association staff working intensively.
You can still see sweaty farmers running here and there, shouting at the top of their lungs about the weight of the harvested grain.
"Are the president and instructor here?"
Wang Qi stepped forward and shouted into the door, and the instructor Qian Gaoyang raised his head.
Looking at Wang Qi standing outside the door, he wondered: "I am Qian Gaoyang, the instructor here. Comrade, what department are you in? What's the matter?"
Wang Qi smiled and said: "Oh, I am Wang Qi, the director of Honglu Temple and a member of Fuxing. I have something to do here. Comrade Gao Yang, can you please come out? I'll delay you a little."
Since he was a member of the Renaissance, Qian Gaoyang had no choice but to put down the heavy work at hand and walked out. He saw Wang Qi, Lu You and Yu Yunwen following him.
"Honglu Temple? Isn't it responsible for receiving foreign envoys? What is Comrade Wang doing here?"
Looking at Yu Yunwen and Lu You, who were very well-dressed, Qian Gaoyang, who was dressed in coarse cloth, frowned slightly unconsciously: "Who are these two?"
"They are envoys from the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. They are very interested in our village. Come and have a look."
Wang Qi smiled and said: "Both of you are deputy envoys. This one's surname is Yu and this one's surname is Lu."
"An envoy from the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Gaoyang immediately frowned and couldn't hold back his dissatisfaction. He said: "Comrade Wang, it's autumn harvest now, and the village is so busy. How can I have time to receive them? Can't I go around Zhongdu City? That’s it? What are you doing here? Adding trouble?"
Perhaps because of his dislike of the Southern Song Dynasty, Qian Gaoyang did not hide his words at all, and his voice was not soft. Yu Yunwen and Lu You heard it really.
The two of them suddenly felt awkward and frowned.
Wang Qi didn't feel anything strange. He smiled and asked, "Are you so busy?"
"After all, they are envoys from the Southern Dynasty. They want to come to the village to have a look. We can't object, right?"
"Comrade Wang, this is a matter for your Honglu Temple. Just handle it and don't cause us any trouble, okay?"
Qian Gaoyang said with a bitter look on his face: "It's the autumn harvest season now. All the men, women, old and young in the village have gone out to harvest grain. The entire farmers' association has also gone out! We only stay here because we can write and do calculations. Do you know how busy we are with writing work?”
Wang Qi quickly smiled.
"I know, I know, everyone is very busy during the autumn harvest."
"You came here even if you knew it? If I don't ask for your help, don't cause trouble."
Qian Gaoyang glanced at Lu You and Yu Yunwen who looked unhappy again, and said: "The autumn harvest is over, and there are still things to deal with at the collective farm, and I have to go to Zhongdu to study for two or three months. There are a lot of things to do before leaving. I'm going crazy trying to arrange the handover, please, Comrade Wang, take them away!"
With a bitter look on his face, Qian Gaoyang raised his hands to Wang Qigong, turned around and entered the farmers' association office to continue working, not wanting to talk to them anymore.
Wang Qi turned around helplessly and spread his hands towards Lu You and Yu Yunwen with a look of helplessness on his face.
"It seems that they are very busy, let's not make any trouble, right? Work is the most important thing."
"snort!"
Yu Yunwen was very unhappy and turned around and left.
Lu You didn't look good, but he felt that it wasn't their fault, and it was hard to say anything on someone else's territory. He nodded and followed Wang Qi and left.
Walking on the country road, Yu Yunwen was still very angry. An evil fire in his belly stimulated him and he had the unhappiness urge to vomit. He felt that all his years of self-cultivation had been wasted here.
He couldn't stand it, so he mocked Wang Qi in a strange way.
"A small official from the Peasant Association can refute Chief Wang. It seems that Chief Wang is really kind. How can such a ignorant person serve as an official in the Ming Dynasty?"
Wang Qi knew what Yu Yunwen meant and dismissed it.
"The Autumn Harvest is an important matter for the country. It is a good thing, not a bad thing, for the Farmers Association to be so concerned about the Autumn Harvest. If this person puts down such an urgent task in order to serve us... Deputy Ambassador Yu thinks this is a good thing? Could it be that the Southern Dynasty Are all officials like this?"
Wang Qi caught Yu Yunwen off guard with a backhand punch.
After being stunned for a while, Yu Yunwen had nothing to say and could only wave his sleeves and walk forward.
Lu You finally figured it out. When he saw Yu Yunwen losing his composure, he immediately apologized to Wang Qi with a guilty look on his face.
"Those words just now were definitely not Deputy Ambassador Yu's original intention. He was just a little out of character. Please don't pay attention to it, Mr. Wang."
"Why would I care about such a thing?"
Wang Qi smiled and shook his head: "I am very happy to see the leaders of the farmers' association working so hard. The more people like this, the better this year's autumn harvest will be completed, and the Ming Dynasty will be more prosperous." By saving more grain, farmers will have more money and grain.”
When Lu You heard this, he felt more and more helpless.
After walking a few more steps, Lu You seemed to have remembered something and asked: "Just now, I heard talk about collective farming. May I ask what collective farming is? Is it a new policy of the Ming Dynasty? Can you explain a little bit? Say something?"
It is obvious that Lu You cares more about Ming Dynasty's policies than attitude issues.
He already believed that all this was true, so the new policy introduced by the Ming Dynasty must be a good policy that benefited the country and the people. Since it was a good policy, he should understand it and bring it back to Zhao Hao to see what the Southern Song Dynasty could do. If you can't do it, what if it happens?
Regarding this request, Wang Qi shook his head with regret.
"This policy was just proposed by His Majesty and is ready to be put into trial soon. In fact, Ming Dynasty has no experience in implementing this policy, and we don't know what the outcome will be at the moment. However, this policy was proposed to resolve the contradiction between agricultural production and water conservancy and transportation construction. .”
"Can you tell me more?"
Lu You continued to ask.
Wang Qi nodded and told Lu You some of the causes and consequences he knew about the implementation of collective agriculture.
