Farmers of Shu Han

Chapter 97
Gouzi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at his grandmother, so he picked his fingers and whispered, "I just want to tell my grandmother about this. The host told us today that he wants to take some with him when he goes to Hanzhong. People go, and ask us if anyone wants to go with us. The boy thought, if you can continue to study with the master, so I want to ask my mother, if the boy wants to go with me, will it work?"

"Follow me and continue studying!" Mrs Gouzi said casually as she picked up the lid of the jar.

"So your mother agrees?"

"Bang", the lid of the jar hit the jar and fell to the ground, making a sound.Fortunately, the ground was muddy, and the lid was only broken by a small hole in the clay pot, but it was not broken.

Auntie Gouzi didn't pick it up, she turned around hastily, and asked, "What did you just say?"

"My son wants to go to Hanzhong with the host."

"No!" Auntie Gouzi screamed, "Absolutely not!"

After a pause, as if he had made up his mind, he looked around, lowered his voice, and said in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, "Even if we don't plant the Feng family's land, we won't."

In September in Shu, there was a continuous autumn rain, and it also brought the slightest coolness.

The children in the village seemed to have lost a lot of health all of a sudden. In just one autumn rain, two of them fell ill and could not go to work in the house.The adults in the family went to the house to apologize in person, and kept saying that their children were bad. They wanted to quit the helper for fear of missing the house.

Feng Yong couldn't watch the clumsy performance, he waved his hand and asked the housekeeper to take out some food, which was regarded as a settlement of wages.

As expected, both of them declined, saying that the baby can't do much work, and coming to the house to eat a full stomach is already a kindness from the master's family, and they dare not receive any more food.

"The host shouldn't be so kind to those white-eyed wolves!"

After the two left, the housekeeper looked at the far backs of the two and scolded fiercely: "I feed them again, I teach them how to read, and I even let the family keep chickens. This kind of thing happened!"

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, don't talk about it." Feng Yong smiled indifferently, "After all, it's his own flesh and blood. By the way, go and tell those children in the house that they won't be here for a few days, and watch them two. They haven't laughed for a while, so they must be feeling uncomfortable."

"But what about the housework?"

"What should I do?" Feng Yong sneered, "They are not the only family in the village. They don't need to plant my land, they can go to other masters, can they also? Go, put Amei call me."

Sure enough, a servant who is completely dependent on the master is a good servant!
"My lord, are you calling me?"

After Amei was called over, she squatted down and bowed in a salute, not daring to look at Feng Yong, and asked meekly.

"How many children in your family are over the age of eight? Can you speak Chinese?"

"Master Hui, we are acquaintances. We have lived with Han people for many years, and we can speak Chinese."

All along, those bureaucrats have emphasized that they are familiar bureaucrats to prove that they are not much different from the Han Chinese.

"That's good. The mansion is short of manpower recently. You go and pick out all the children over the age of eight and under the age of 12, and send them to the mansion to help Yaomei. Remember to teach them the rules of the mansion, otherwise , whoever has a problem, the hands and feet of that one will be interrupted, and the whole family will be kicked out of Zhuangzi, you know?"

Amei was stunned and did not speak.

"What? What's the problem?"

A Mei's face finally showed ecstasy, and she knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you Lord, thank you Lord!"

Feng Yong has absolute control over the Liao people. After all, he still holds the sales contracts of those people.

Even if you don't mention this, the people who were kicked out of Zhuangzi must have only a dead end.Don't say how many people are willing to take in Liaomen, but there are Liaomen who are willing to take in, who have been expelled from Zhuangzi by the previous master, do you dare to ask for it?
The atmosphere in the village became more and more wrong.

In the past, when Zhuanghu met Feng Yong while walking in the Zhuang, he would stand on the side of the road with a smile and say hello.But these few days, when Zhuang Hu saw Feng Yong coming from a distance, he would dodge quietly. If he couldn't escape, he would bow his head and salute, and then ran away quickly, as if there was a plague on Feng Yong. The farther away, the better. .

Feng Yong didn't care about this, and was even glad in his heart.If it weren't for this matter, he must not have realized the problems of his own Zhuangzi.

I haven't asked your children to follow me, I just said if anyone is willing to go with me, you are just like this, do you really think I am easy to bully?

The human heart is unfathomable.Feng Yong is not qualified to criticize Zhuang Hu's choice, but Zhuang Hu also cannot accuse him of his actions: Disloyal Zhuang Hu, why am I here?Who knows when one will develop a white-eyed wolf?

"Master, is this something on your mind?"

Feng Yongzheng sat silently under the willow tree in a daze, and the old man surnamed Lu, who lost one eye, came over and asked a question.

"Oh, it's Uncle Lu, sit down. Is there anything?"

Feng Yong glanced at Old Soldier Lu and nodded as a greeting.

"Nothing. Just come over and tell the master, all the guards in Hanzhong have been selected, and they are all old guys who can still hold knives and guns. I don't know what else the master needs me to wait for?"

Old Soldier Lu didn't dare to get too close to Feng Yong, so he sat down some distance away and said with a smile.

"No more. Just be prepared and wait until you set off." Feng Yong stretched his back, looked at Old Soldier Lu, and pointed to the construction site where a house was being built not far away, "There are still two days for the new house over there. Can it be covered? Otherwise, if the family members are not settled well, they will not be relieved to leave."

"Don't worry, Master, there are still three or four days left, so there's nothing wrong with it."

"Huh? Yesterday, the housekeeper told me that it was three days at most. Why is it still three or four days today?"

Lu Laozu grinned, and the flesh-red scar on his face began to wriggle: "That was yesterday's estimate. Today, a few old farmers were chased away by us, and we won't let them help."

"Why is this? How did you get started?" Feng Yong asked with concern. It is normal for new and old farmers to have conflicts, but it is not a trivial matter if it develops to the point of hands-on.

"I didn't do anything, I just told them to go away." Lu Laozhe smiled, "We are all people who climbed out of the dead, and we survived because of the swords and guns that our brothers helped us block." He said, pointing to He pointed to the construction site that was working in the distance, "Most of those family members were left for our dead brothers, and they promised to take good care of them."

"It's a good thing." Feng Yong nodded, "Understandable, I'm afraid it's more kissable than a real brother, right?"

"Isn't that right?" Old Soldier Lu had an excited expression on his face that was understood, "We are rough people, and we don't know any big truths, but we still know the truth of what we need to repay. The master has taken in us poor people, It is a great kindness to make us eat enough. This time I heard that the master wants a few children to go to Hanzhong with him? If we can't find anyone, we still have a few there, stupid or stupid, not like The children of the old farmers are so literate, but they are obedient and good children, and they work quickly."

Feng Yong's heart was hot, but his face did not show any strangeness, he smiled: "Uncle Lu has already said, those babies are left by your dead brothers, you finally settled down, how can you bear to let them Follow me to that far place?"

"Just leave the one who can inherit the incense, and I don't mean to let them all go." Lu Laozu waved his hand, "I've already walked over from Nanzhong, and are you afraid of going to Hanzhong? Besides, there are a few of us. Is the guy following? It's a good thing to go out with the master to learn more."
