Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 167 A big misunderstanding

Chapter 160 Eight Big Misunderstandings
Li Yu looked at Li Yi hesitating and chattering, and pretended to be angry; "Are you the head of the house? Or am I the head of the house?

Telling you to go on an errand, there are so many useless ones, go quickly, or the family law will serve you!
Li Yi heard that the family law served him, so he didn't dare to dawdle, so he agreed and hurried out.

Lin Wu still couldn't figure out why this gentleman insisted on changing the land, so he opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know, sir, what should I do to change the land? Can you tell someone to know!"

"It's nothing shameful. I want to get more land and gather it together. This way, it will save trouble and effort in farming.

For example, if there are [-] mu of land on one side of the river, then when farmers go to cultivate, they don't have to go east for a day and west for a few days.

Just go to the same place every day, wouldn't it be more worry-free and not waste time?

After the construction of the river channel is completed, a certain person will be able to install waterwheels to plant rice. In the future, unified management will increase the yield. In this way, everyone's harvest will increase, so why not do it. "

"So that's the case. Since the gentleman thinks so, he will directly call several village households, whose land is on both sides of the river, to take them out and make unified arrangements for the gentleman. It's not enough, and there is no need to replace them."

"That's right, what you said makes sense, first make a booklet, whoever has land on both sides of the bank,

The rest belong to other Zhuangzi, first take the land in the mansion and replace it with others, and the rest are all the farmers of our own Zhuangzi, it’s easy to say,

However, according to my lord's intention, the land of our own farmers, on both sides of the river, each family will give some compensation,

This land is used by my lord, and then he hires them to cultivate the land. In the future, it will be divided in half and half with the mansion. "

Lin Wu was stunned by Li Yurao in a short while,
"Forgive me for being stupid, sir, since you want to compensate the farmer, you got this land, why do you still call the farmer to plant your own land?
The villain can't figure it out, if it is shared with the farmers, why should they give compensation?I also ask Mr. Lang to clarify my doubts. "

"What's wrong with this? As long as it's the land on both sides of the river, I will take all the land and cultivate it together. This is considered as renting everyone's land. Of course, some compensation must be given to the farmers.

Then, if people are called to work and cultivate the land, they should also be paid. The grain and rice produced are shared with the farmers, which is the annual remuneration.

How can there be nothing for nothing?Besides, they all have to support their families?

It's just that in the future, you have to plant according to the arrangement of a certain family, and it can't be messed up anymore. Every male will be given [-] mu to [-] mu, and you can take care of the one you are responsible for, which is simple and trouble-free.

This should make sense, right? "

"Understood, it's just that this land originally belonged to the farmer's own family, but after being treated like this by Mr. Lang, it has become the remaining half of his own family.

This... This may damage the prestige of the mansion, my lord. "

"My lord, let me ask you, how much grain can you produce per acre now that you cultivate it yourself?"

"If you come back to Mr. Lang, one mu of land can produce one and a half stones. If the service is good and the weather is good, it is possible to produce two stones."

(53 kg per stone)

"According to my master's secret method of farming, one mu of land can produce four to five stones, so if more than two stones are distributed to the farmers, doesn't it mean that the weather is good every year, isn't it good?
If my husband succeeds in his attempt, is it possible to add another stone? "

"What? That's impossible. A certain man has been serving the fields for more than ten years. I've never heard that anyone's field can produce four stones.

Even the three stones are extremely difficult, and they must be of the highest quality. "

"According to your old method, of course you can't, but I found an ancient book of Qimin essentials in the study, which contains the inheritance of secret methods. If you cultivate according to the secret methods, it is not surprising that you can produce more than four stones."

There are many things that Li Yu can't explain, let alone explain clearly. After a thousand years, one mu of land can produce more than 1000 catties of rice.

Otherwise, it would be too idiotic to say that there are more than ten stones in one mu of land. Even if they are regarded as evildoers, they will not be wronged if they are burned to death on the pyre.

You can only push the excuse to the secret method. Fortunately, if the common people don't understand, as long as you say

It has something to do with the secret method, so it can be understood immediately.It can be regarded as a great convenience for Li Yu.

Lin Wu had a suddenly realized expression.

"Since Mr. Lang has inherited the secret method, of course four stones are fine. Every time Mr. Lang shows up the secret method, it can be called a stroke of genius. It is normal to get four or five stones."

"However, after all, there are not many farmers in our own village who can have land on both sides of the river. I am afraid that there must be many replacements between Langjun and the other village..."

"Okay, it's getting late today, so I won't bother you any more, and I'm leaving."

"Respectfully send off your husband."

"Stay there, come back another day, by the way, but remember what my lord told you."

Lin Wu said solemnly;
"Don't worry, sir, the villain is going to run errands one by one, and he has to explain all the farmers in our five villages.

What's more, most of these people were rescued by Lao Alang, and the fields that are distributed now were allocated by the county magistrate who was found by Lao Alang at the beginning, and the household registration was given to them.

As long as the mansion speaks out, I believe that the people will listen, not to mention that they are guaranteed a ration of two stones per mu of land every year, whoever disagrees is a fool.

If I can't do such a simple thing well, I will have eaten 40 years of meals in vain. "

"It's so good, this matter will be hard for you."

"It's not hard work. I don't know how to thank you for allocating this big new house for my family. This errand is settled. You can just wait for the good news."

Li Yu hummed a song and went all the way back to her room in the backyard.

A servant girl came in to report;
"I want to report to you, Mr. Lang, during the day, Mr. Zou once called the lady of the Zou family to come to the mansion in the evening to give instructions. Now that she has come, he is waiting in the front wing."

"Oh, just ask her to come in here."

"promise."

Li Yu was washing his feet in the wooden basin, when he heard that the lady from the Zou family was here, he let her come to the backyard so that he would not have to wear shoes when he went out.

Mrs. Zou was summoned by the maid, saying that the gentleman asked him to go to the backyard to talk, so she followed the maid through the second gate and came to Li Yu's room.

"My family has seen Mr. Lang. Mr. Lang is well."

"Okay, everything is fine, thank you lady for your concern, please sit down."

"Thank you sir, I'll just stand here."

Rong Niang is not on duty tonight and has already stayed at home, Li Yu said to the maids on duty;

"You step back, I will discuss some important matters with Mrs. Zou's family."

"promise"

When Mrs. Zou came into the backyard, she felt a little hot on her face. As soon as she came in, Mr. Lang asked everyone to go out, leaving her alone, and she was even more flustered.

Immediately remembered what my sisters said
"Lang Jun told you to come over at night, don't try too hard, after all, you are still young..."

Although I am a person who has come here and will be in my early thirties, there is nothing shy about it, but it is too embarrassing to come to the backyard so generously.

If these maids spread the word in the future, it will be ugly.

The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is very open, and the lady of the Zou family can accept this matter, but she feels that it should not be so open.

Secretly find a maid to come, just pass it on, this gentleman really shouldn't mention it in the daytime, he is still young after all, so many people know about it.

Then I thought: This gentleman is still a child, why is he thinking about that matter so much, what should I do for a while, this is really inappropriate...

"Miss? Hi! Lady of the Zou family?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm here, so I'll take off my clothes. You don't have to worry too much, because I won't run away."

Mrs. Zou thought that Li Yu asked him to wait on him quickly, so she felt a little embarrassed, and she didn't run away, so she was so anxious, and her voice was as quiet as a fly in the end.

Li Yu didn't hear what she was muttering clearly, so he only lifted up his washed feet.

The lady of the Zou family was also clever, so she picked up the cloth towels prepared by the maids and came to wipe Li Yu's feet.

Li Yu was also used to being served by others, and he lifted his feet to cooperate very well.

After waiting for Li Yu to sit on the bed, Mrs. Zou took the wooden basin aside and began to take off her clothes when she came over.
She also thought about it, since she has come here, she is also a woman, and she is not a daughter, so why bother to be coy, it is better to be generous.

Li Yu raised his head, and was about to say something about arranging her work, but saw that the lady of the Zou family was already taking off her clothes.

He couldn't help being dumbfounded, she wasn't one of his maids, so naturally she didn't need to warm the bed for herself, so why did she just take it off.

Just as he was about to ask, the lady of the Zou family had already taken off her coat. In the midst of winter, Li Yu said, "Hurry up and get on the couch, don't catch a cold!"

This is what he often said to Rong Niang's two maids who warmed the bed, and he blurted out in a moment of conditioned reflex.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!"

Mrs. Zou was also a little grateful. I heard that the gentlemen of the big family are very ruthless. They only vent on people and throw them away when they are used. Unexpectedly, this gentleman is quite benevolent.

Seeing the lady get into the bed she stepped on, Li Yu wanted to cry without tears, and wanted to slap himself twice.

"Um, lady of the Zou family, I called you here because I have something important to say, isn't it..."

"Your servant knows, don't worry, sir, I won't go out and talk nonsense tomorrow, sir, come in quickly, don't catch a cold in this cold weather."

"No, what I mean is that I told you to organize the healthy women in the village and go to the river tomorrow together..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, when my family moved today, my slave family did not participate. I have been running errands in the village, looking for some sisters who have a good relationship, and asked them to talk to each other. Tomorrow the river will be built, and many sisters will definitely be able to visit."

"Oh! That's good, by the way, my lord will tell you something else,"

"Well, my lord, please tell me, it's still a bit cold on this couch, my lord is waiting, so it's better to talk about things first!"

Li Yu was speechless, what the hell is this?

"I want to get all the land on both sides of the river, and the farmers in our village will cultivate it together. I have discussed it with Lin Wu tonight.

Tomorrow, it will be up to his family to say that as long as the land on both sides of the river belongs to our Zhuangzi, they will all take it out. A certain family has a secret method to increase the yield per mu to four stones.

At that time, when the cultivation is unified, whoever provides one mu will take two stones when harvesting. Madam, do you think this kind of distribution is feasible?Will the dealers agree? "

Zou Niang thought for a while, and then said;
"Let's not talk about anything else, but as long as the government adopts a charter, there is no way for the farmers to agree or disagree.

At the beginning, which of these households was not about to die, or was desperate, and was rescued by the old lord?

Now that my stomach is full and my heart is full of meat, can I not be grateful for the kindness of the old man?

If you add what Mr. Lang said, two stones will be returned for each mu that is occupied, and the farmers are afraid that they will rush to come!
Let them cultivate by themselves, can they produce two stones per mu every year?

It's just that most of the farmers have very little land on both sides of the river, so please don't worry if Mr. Lang let the wind out.

Those who have fields on both sides of the river are naturally grinning from ear to ear, and those who have less land on both sides of the river will have to worry a lot!

After all, the government subsidizes two shi for one mu of land, which is a rare thing in a hundred years, and I have never heard of it.Don't make a fuss?
Those families with little land on both sides of the river must find a way to replace them with other villages, and they can't just watch other people's houses with an acre of land and two stones every year and remain indifferent?

Mr. Lang's two stones per mu makes me feel sad for many people, but fortunately, my slave's family has more than 30 mu of Susukida, which is on the east side of the river, so I can take advantage of it.

If it is according to what Lang Jun said, there will be no worries about food in the future.This is thanks to Mr. Lang's method! "

When Li Yu heard Mrs. Zou say that the farmers were going to find outsiders to exchange land, Li Yu immediately became energetic.Take it to heart!
"If there is no land on both sides of the strait, or a family with little land, I am the master, and I am compensating some money for one mu of land. What do you think of two hundred yuan per mu?"

"Your Majesty is too kind, there is no way to act like this, the farmers are greedy for the output of the two stones per mu every year in the future, so they will naturally find ways to exchange land.

What he got in exchange was his good life, what he couldn't get in exchange was that he was incompetent, so why bother to subsidize them with money?Lang Juntai is also easy to bully. "

"No, no, no, those who use high-quality land to exchange land on both sides of the river will naturally not suffer a loss, but those who use middle-level land or low-grade land to exchange land on both sides of the river will not be given some money subsidies. come!"

"Since he wants two stones of grain and rice every year, he will naturally have to pay some. If he can't get it, he can exchange two mu for one mu. It can always be exchanged, right?"

The wife of the Zou family took it for granted.

"So, some subsidy must be given to the farmers. As for the subsidy money, they will exchange it for the land or keep it for themselves. The Lord has nothing to do with it."

In Li Yu's heart, he would not do a loss-making business. He originally wanted to buy land, but Manager Liang said it would cost hundreds of thousands of guan. Now he can chat with a few farmers and plant collectively, and everything will be settled.

Mobilizing the power of the masses is of course much more powerful than tossing around alone.

Even with a subsidy of [-] yuan per mu, [-] yuan is enough to replace a lot of land.

"Since the lady said so, let's change one mu to one hundred yuan. If you don't give a big money, let the farmer go to lose money and exchange land. A certain family is really upset!"

"Lang Juntai is also kind-hearted, really like the old master."

"Hehe, kindness is the foundation of people."

Li Yu was embarrassed. After all, his plan would take a lot of money after it was implemented in the future. He would get a lot of land close to the river and easy to irrigate for a hundred dollars per mu of land. Don't be too rascal.

At that time, we will cultivate and harvest in a unified way, and then carefully select the full rice for seeding. After several times of screening, we will be able to get more high-quality grain.

Then use the method of throwing rice seedlings, and it has the advantage of being close to the water. Are you afraid that you will not make money?Afraid of no food?
I'm afraid there will be no place to store granaries in the future.

"Lang Jun?"

"Well, it's better to leave this matter to the lady. There was Lin Wu who talked with the farmers about farming together.

Later, it was handed over to the wife and sisters, and the family said that if someone replaced the land in the other village, they would be subsidized with [-] yuan per mu of land, so that they would not lose money. "

"No, my family took over this matter, it's just my lord, it's getting late, and the couch is hot..."

"Um?……"

"My lady, my lady,"

Situ Yunsha watched Taohong come in hurriedly, and couldn't help being puzzled; "It's the middle of the night, what's the matter, you're in a panic?"

"My lady, Mr. Lang recruited a lady surnamed Zou from Zhuangzi to come to sleep in the mansion tonight, and then he will drive out the maids who are serving today..."

"What? You don't want to talk nonsense. It's not that Mr. Lang is short of people to serve, and the eight maids are divided into two groups to be on duty, and they are all in their young ages. How could you invite people from outside the house?"

Situ Yunsha didn't believe Taohong's words at all.

"How dare the servants lie to the lady? Just now, the servants went to pour the footwashing water and met the sisters in the man's house and said,"

Situ covered the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf, looking in disbelief.

"What does the recruited lady look like? How old is she?"

"If you go back to the lady, you just turned thirty, and after Yuanzheng, you will be thirty and one. I heard that she is good-looking, and she is famous for her beauty in our Li family village."

Situ Yunsha's eyes were empty, and he sighed resentfully; Mr. Lang really has a good eye, and he is the most handsome in Zhuangzi, and you can find it when you go out..."

Not to mention that Situ sighed and sighed here, but Wang Kexin's room over there was also turned upside down.

"Can you see clearly?"

Qiu Ju, Wang Kexin's personal servant girl, nodded fiercely and replied, "Your maidservant has seen clearly, the members of the Zou family have all gone up to warm their beds for a long time."

Wang Kexin's face will be darker than the bottom of the pot, "Why did you act so rashly, and the news will spread, how unpleasant is it?"

"My lady, shall we go..."

"What are you going to do? To annoy the gentleman?"

Wang Kexin replied angrily.

"But my lady, my husband is too...too eccentric. My lady was the first to come to the mansion. No matter what, she won't be able to come by an outsider.

Even if the gentleman wants someone to sleep with him today, it should be the lady who goes..."

Wang Kexin was angry, and she became even more unhappy when she heard the maid talking about this.

Immediately reprimanded Qiu Ju on the spot; "What nonsense are you talking about? It's only been half a year since Old Alang's filial piety, and the concubine's banquet has not yet been held. If I go...how decent.

Don't mention this matter again! "

"Yes, the servant girl knows, it's time for the lady to take off her makeup."

"not sleepy!"

"Oh! That lady will sit down for a while."

"I want you to take care of it?"

Xia Zhu, who was next to her, quickly gave Qiu Ju a wink.

The two sisters are deeply in love, and they grew up beside Wang Kexin. Seeing Qiu Ju eat a turtle, they rushed to save her;

"Qiu Ju, go and rest, I will accompany my lady tonight."

"Oh, good sister Xia Zhu, madam, that servant has retired!"

Wang Kexin was still angry, she just waved her hands without saying a word.

Qiu Ju was walking out, while still muttering in her heart, "This lady of the family is acting weird today. Usually when the husband comes to stay in the house for a night, she is very happy. She always chats with him until late at night before going to sleep.
Why don't you say anything about old Alang,
It just happened to be mentioned again today!But why?I didn't say anything wrong. When I got the news, I hurried to report it. Why did I cause a lot of unhappiness!It's really boring.

Here Xia Zhu sees Qiu Ju leave, so he persuades his wife.

"Young lady, don't worry too much, guessing from slaves, Mr. Lang is just impulsive, trying to make something new.

After all, it is the mind of a young man, seeing a new one, how can he not miss it, and the outsider also has a family, has children, eats wild food, and cannot enter the mansion, right? "

After Wang Kexin got angry, she returned to calmness. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but she has been in the mansion for three and a half years.

I haven't gotten married with my husband yet, and I've never had that kind of sex.

On weekdays, Mr. Lang stayed in this courtyard and chatted until late at night.

Nothing excessive has happened, and the lord is still a boy now.

Regardless of her looks, appearance, seniority, or rank, Wang Kexin always felt that she was the future, and the first person to wait on the bedroom,
Unexpectedly, today, a woman from a farmer's family from outside would take the lead.

How can you not be angry!How can I swallow this breath!
"It's fine to eat a wild food, why, do you still want to come in the mansion to show off your power? Do you think that sister Situ and I are dead people?"

"Lady resting from the thunderous anger, I heard that when Mr. Lang went out to inspect Zhuangzi, he met the Zou family.

This woman is also good at seducing a man, so he provoked the gentleman, and openly asked her to come to the mansion at night to serve him in the blue sky and daylight.

I don't know what tricks she used, she is already a woman in her thirties, and she still fascinated Mr. Lang to such a state. "

"Hmph! She's just a shameless foxy girl. She just seduced men like this the first time I met her."

"Madam, do you want to rest?"

"What do you want to rest, who is in the mood, you and I go to Situ's wife's house and discuss it. After that, no matter where you go, you have to watch carefully. It's best to stop this kind of thing this time, and you can do it in the future." Don't let it happen again!"
