Splendid glory of a girl from another world

After August 15th, the Li family began to be busy with village affairs. According to Li Qiusui's plan, the fertile land was still growing food.

The climate here makes it most suitable to plant winter wheat next season.

The family left abundant wheat as seeds. The original owner also grew food in this area, so there were ready-made tenant farmers. Mrs. Liu personally met with these families, including the stewards in charge of this area, and they were all honest people who were willing to work hard, so she readily let them stay.

Their family now lives in the city. Unlike in Lijia Village, they can go to the fields to work without any hesitation. They are too busy with the farm work, so they can only spend some money and find more part-time workers. Zhuangzi here in the capital is too far away and cannot be kept busy by his own family. Furthermore, now that my family has an official status, the land under my name can be exempted from taxes, and I will buy more suitable farmland in the future. There are so many things going on that it’s too late to even look at the account books. How can I find the time to work with a hoe?

Leaving the tenant farmers behind, the crops previously grown by the former owner's family have been harvested and taken away, so the land can be plowed and prepared to plant winter wheat.

The tenant farmers are all good at growing crops, and Liu will be able to get started quickly after simply explaining it.

Li Changshan divided the seeds and watched the tenants cultivate, giving guidance from time to time.

As for the previous Zhuangtou, Mrs. Liu didn't like this person at first glance at the weed that was higher than her waist. She hadn't met anyone yet.

It's the right time to employ people, and you have to observe them carefully before making any decisions.

So, Mrs. Liu ordered people to find Zhuangtou.

The person calling was Zhuangtou, and more than a dozen people came cheering. The leader was in his thirties, not tall, with lively eyebrows. He showed a shrewd energy when he opened his mouth, "Young men, please give my regards to Madam."

Mrs. Liu nodded and said to the leader: "You are familiar with this area. Find more day laborers and clean up Zhuangzi as soon as possible."

"It's simple. We only have money for us... Madam, look..." Zhuangtou said in agreement, and asked Liu for the money with his palms facing up. "You are new here, so you are not familiar with this capital city." The rule is, if you have money to open the way, if you use more money, I can find you as many people as you want to work for. Otherwise, everyone is busy with farming right now, and it will be difficult to find people to work as soon as possible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a dozen people behind this man nodded.

Mrs. Liu laughed angrily. It was the first time she had dealt with such a gangster. Before anything was done, she was posing difficulties to get money. She was clearly taking advantage of others' power!

It's not that she is reluctant to give more money, the key is that the money can go to the people who do the work?

With this group of people, she wouldn't even want them to take advantage of her.

Mrs. Liu did not have the burden of being an official's wife, and said bluntly: "Then you can stay where it's cool, my family can't afford you."

"What do you mean, madam? We have Zhuangzi in front of us who has been in charge of the Sheng family for more than ten years. Go and ask if there is anyone around here who dares to come and cause trouble or pick fruits secretly?"

"Madam, don't worry, Zhuangzi is in our hands, and we will definitely let you wander around here for ten miles and eight villages."

Walk sideways! I'm not a crab. I can walk sideways when I'm full.

No one dares to pick fruits secretly, but look, how many fruits have been produced by so many fruit trees in this land of thousands of acres?

Mrs. Liu was too lazy to talk to these people. Her own village was here, and she was afraid that they would make trouble from time to time in the future, so she had to send them away as soon as possible. "Then you should go and manage the village for the Sheng family. Our family is temporarily closed." Not useful."

"Madam, you kicked Zhuangtou away on the first day. What kind of reputation does this have?"

"Those who know say you plow the fields and take care of the crops, but those who don't know think you are stingy and can't afford to hire a farmer."

Some people are bad-faced, while others are bad-faced. "Yes, madam, reputation is important. Your master is an official in the court. Five thousand taels have been spent. One hundred and eighty taels. If you loosen your grip, it will be fine." I sent it off, why bother with people like us?"

Mrs. Liu's head hurt from the noise. She didn't want to argue with these people, but the people named Gu blocked her way intentionally or unintentionally. They didn't dare to do anything extreme, but they followed suit, which was annoying enough. .

Li Qiusui saw this group of people surrounding her mother from a distance. She hurriedly walked past, and she seemed to have listened to everything. The whip in her hand crackled, and she threw out beautiful whip flowers one after another, and shouted: "What are you doing?" ?”

"Who are you? What do you want to do around here?"

The group of people suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts, and the leader shouted with a trembling voice, "The little people are called Gu Liu. These are my brothers. They are the heads of the village originally invited by the Sheng family. I want to stay and help the new master." Contribute.”

Did you just want to stay and contribute?

Li Qiusui pointed at the person who spoke, "Are you their leader?" The man bravely stood up, puffed out his chest and said, "Have you ever heard of Yuyu Shengwu Hall? There are some acquaintances of mine there. I am the former member of the Sheng family. I have paid a lot of money to hire the head of the village. I have been working here for more than ten years. I have more than a few people under my command. I have hundreds of brothers. We are all familiar with the surrounding area..."

Li Qiusui raised his hand to interrupt. She was planning to plant fruit trees, not to grab the land. No matter how many brothers you have, are you familiar with the surrounding area?

"Gu Liu, right? Let me ask you, how much does this thousand-acre village produce in a year? Where do you sell the hawthorns and dates? In this case, you tell me, how much income can you generate for the owner in a year?"

Guliu coughed twice, "How can you say this accurately? Sometimes there is drought and little rain, and sometimes there is too much rain, which affects the taste of the fruit. This is all uncertain..."

Li Qiusui didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, "This year I can always say it accurately. In ten days and a half, the fruits will be harvested one after another. Just tell me, what are you going to do with this batch of fruits? Can you give them to me?" How much money should I hand over?"

"In previous years, the Sheng family wanted to eat and then give it away..."

Li Qiusui, "My family doesn't like hawthorn and dates. You don't have to worry about eating it at home. Of course, you don't have to give it away. I spent more than five thousand taels to buy this Zhuangzi..."

The implication is, how many books can you, the head of the village, give me back?

The man surnamed Gu rolled his eyes, "Five thousand taels, girl, you have actually been cheated by the Sheng family. There is only one down-and-out nobleman in their family, and there are only prodigal sons in the family. You came to me earlier, and you couldn't spend it." So much." Gu Liu rubbed his palms. He was not so nervous when talking to the lady just now, but now he was forced into a corner by a little girl.

After all, Gu Liu just refused to take up what Li Qiu Sui said.

Li Qiusui's face darkened, "What is your relationship with Master Gu of Yusheng Martial Arts School?"

Li Qiu Sui didn't wait for him to continue talking nonsense, and said in a light tone: "Go to Yusheng and tell me that this village has been bought by Li Xiaowu's family, and then come back to argue with me."

Over there, Li Changshan made arrangements for planting winter wheat and ran over to the angry-looking Ms. Liu, "Mom, what's going on?"

Mrs. Liu told the matter in a low voice, and Li Changshan stood in front of Li Qiu Sui with a livid face, "If you want to continue to be the head of the village, this is the attitude! If you make trouble again, believe it or not, you will all be sent to the government office."

A local snake like Gu Liu is really not a stupid young man. Who is selling Zhuangzi of the Sheng family to? I have already inquired about the basic background. Li Qiusui's heart skipped a beat when he mentioned Master Yu Shenggu. As soon as Li Changshan, the man in charge of the family, came over, they became even weaker.

After all, he was an official, so they really couldn't afford to offend him.

I really need to inquire again, so I don’t want to continue to pester him.

Gu Liu led the people and walked away in despair.

Li Changshan watched the group leave with a gloomy expression.

He had the same idea as Mr. Liu. He had no intention of continuing to use these people and was impatient to deal with them. Unexpectedly, he was so good at finding his mother and sister.

Li Changshan, "If they have any trouble in the future, let them come to me directly."

Li Qiusui smiled and nodded, then changed his subject and talked about something else, "Plant a few rows of willow trees along the river bank." It can not only improve the soil, but also reduce soil erosion. "The original houses on Zhuangzi can be used as workshops and residences for the people in the pharmacy. Let's re-zone the area and build a house."

Make it comfortable and you can come and stay for a while from time to time.

"Okay." Li Changshan agreed.

The village is not all hawthorn and jujube trees, there is also a small plum grove and bamboo garden, but the land is barren. No matter how little the owner pays attention to it, the people below will be lazy and let the weeds grow wildly to compete for nutrients. They don't look very good, brother and sister. The two discussed where to build the house.

Now that the family has just come to the capital, they don't have a clue about anything. First, they can straighten out the matters at Zhuangzi and arrange the people in the medicine shop, and then they can breathe a sigh of relief.

The three mothers had been busy all day, and only Xia He, Chu and Xiao Chengyan were left at home. It was already dark when they got home.

Mrs. Liu didn't see Li Sanzhu, so she frowned and asked Xia He, "Isn't your father back yet?"

Xia He, "Zhou Ping came back and said he had gone to the palace. He said it was the emperor's summons and told us not to worry."
