My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 564

The group finally arrived at Tongyuan County outside the capital city.

Looking at the yellow wheat on the ridge, I was a little stunned. Is the wheat grown in summer?

Then even if he came back to his senses, he laughed at himself that it was rare and strange. There is no such crop as corn now, and the capital is located in the north, so it is not unacceptable to have wheat at this time.

The ancient land was not as fertile as the later generations, planted in spring, grown in summer, harvested in autumn, and stored in winter.

Dalong now only farms once a year in the north, which is according to this rule.

Coupled with the lack of nutrients in the land, it would be good to grow like this.

Even in places with warm weather in the south, the fertile rice fields that can be planted for two seasons are monopolized by the aristocratic Dazu.

Even barren land was scrambled for. Food is what the people depend on, and land is food. Old man An spent his whole life fishing for a living, and he did not leave half an acre of land for An Gou'er, An Xin, and his brother and sister until his death.

Young Master Liu was particularly curious. With the ability of the ancient landlords and gentry to annex land, the common people would have had no arable land long ago. It is also a miracle that Dalong can persist for more than 600 years.

As an official of the household department, the household department is in charge of such things as grain and land, but I don't seem to have found any special dragon regulations to take care of the people.

The wealthy gentry still possess countless fertile lands, and the common people barely make ends meet with one acre of land, but Dalong perseveres in a daze. Although there are civil disturbances, there are no major riots and rebellions.

As for the White Lotus Sect, Young Master Liu sneered, Qinglian had already told her about the siege and suppression of the White Lotus Sect in the past.

Although Dalong is not in full swing now, but the White Lotus Sect wants to rebel, it is tantamount to a mantis' arm.

As long as there is no support from a large number of people, the White Lotus Sect is just a grasshopper after autumn.

The reason why Li Zheng did not destroy the White Lotus Sect was because the Turks and the Kingdom of Jin were staring at each other in the north, and it was difficult to divide their troops to encircle and suppress them.

Now that the trade is open, there will be no large-scale national war within a year or two, and any of the six guards of northern Xinjiang that is freed up can make the White Lotus Sect unable to eat.

Frontier army, which day is not the day when the knife is licking blood, the combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the messy soldiers.

"Master, this is Mr. Cheng, the magistrate of Tongyuan County, and this is Old Man Shi from Dashi Village!"

Young Master Liu, who was feeling the fragrance of the wheat field, was awakened by the old housekeeper Fu Shan.

"The next official sees Uncle Tong Yuan."

"Old Shi Lao Wu from Dashi Village pays his respects to the Sir!"

"Don't be too polite, don't be too polite, Mr. Cheng, you should know the meaning of my visit this time!"

"Back to Uncle Tong Yuan, the lower officials already know that this old fifth stone is one of the elders of Dashi Village, and the lower officials have also found Uncle Tong Yuan!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cheng is busy with government affairs, so I won't bother you. A small gift is not considered a respect. Please accept it with a smile, Mr. Cheng!"

The magistrate of Tongyuan looked at the 50 taels of silver in his hand and hurriedly put it away: "Thank you, Uncle Tongyuan, I will resign as an official, and I will not disturb Uncle Tongyuan's business.

"Walk slowly, please!"

The county magistrate of Tongyuan drove away, and Shi Laowu immediately became cautious, not daring to look up at Liu Mingzhi and his party, especially not to look at the eight or nine carriages not far away from them.

"Old man!"

"My lord, I beg you, the old man, please allow some more time. The autumn grain is not ready yet, and the lord collects rent at this time, and the people in Dashi Village will all starve to death!"

Liu Mingzhi was a little stunned looking at Shi Laowu who was kneeling on the ground and kept kowtowing. When did he say that he would collect rent?

"The old man from Woniu Village pays his respects to the Sir. Sir, please allow some time. We really don't have any extra food at home!"

"Old man Wu from Lianhua'ao Township pays a visit to the Sir, please allow him some time!"

"..."

When Liu Mingzhi was in a daze, some elderly people in their 60s came out of nowhere and knelt in front of him without saying a word.

"Gentlemen, get up quickly, don't act like this, the younger generation can't bear the worship from you!"

Liu Mingzhi wanted to help these old people, but they were unmoved, still kneeling on the ground with their heads grabbing the ground.

"Old man, please tell me quickly, what rent collection, I don't know what's going on, kneel down to me as soon as I come here, I'm only 20 years old, how can I bear it!"

Wen Renzheng pointed at the ox cart not far away: "I misunderstood, I thought you wanted to collect the rent in advance, but you are the lord of a thousand households in the city, and these people are all from the big village of Tongyuan County. Those who have to pay you food according to the law!"

"So it is!"

"Gentlemen, get up quickly, Benjue. I'm not here to collect rent. Don't worry, I'm here to find you, but I have something to ask for!"

Several village elders who were kneeling on the ground looked at each other, and slowly stood up, but they still didn't dare to look into Young Master Liu's eyes.

Several old men in their 60s looked at Liu Mingzhi anxiously: "Your Highness really doesn't collect the rent in advance?"

"No, promise not to accept!"

Liu Mingzhi repeatedly assured that the few people believed it.

Shi Laowu said to the old man Niu: "Brother Niu, hurry up and let people go back and tell the villagers that they don't need to hide the grain, the lord is not here to collect rent!"

"Okay, old man, let's go!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Shi Laowu and the others in embarrassment, is it really okay for you to speak so unscrupulously in front of me?

But I don't mind, it can only show that these people are a bit petty, but their hearts are not bad, they are too simple.

"Old man, how is the grain growth this year? Is it a bumper harvest year?"

Shi Laowu and the others looked back at the growing wheat field, their old and haggard faces were extremely gratifying.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, your lord is benevolent, and God is also open. After planting the grain, the weather has been smooth. As long as there are no problems in the future, there will be a bumper harvest this year."

"Okay, let me congratulate the old people in advance for their rich granaries and good harvests!"

"Thank you sir!"

"Thank you sir!"

"."

"Don't be too polite, definitely don't be too polite, I will benefit from your good harvest, right, our hearts are the same!"

Several old people looked at each other, and Shi Laowu, the oldest, finally spoke: "Master, the little old man has the courage to ask, why did you come to Tongyuan County to collect rent?"

"It also has something to do with food, and it has something to do with you."

"This"

"Liu Song, Han Zhong, you guys are waiting here, I will follow the old man and follow the old people around!"

"Follow the order!"

"Old man, I'm very curious about farming. How about some old people take me and the elders at home to take a tour of the fields!"

Shi Laowu and the others looked at each other with worries on their faces. They really didn't understand what the lord wanted to do, but they didn't dare to refuse.

He nodded reluctantly: "My lord, this old man, please come this way, the old man will guide you."

Young Master Liu staggered half of his body and looked teasingly at Wen Renzheng, who was wearing a Confucian shirt and looking at the wheat field obsessively: "Old man, you too, please move more and breathe!"

Wen Renzheng rarely blushed: "Get lost!"

PS: Maybe many brothers don’t know that one thousand rewards plus one update, and fifty monthly tickets plus one update.

I didn't receive anything today, it's guaranteed.

I hope everyone understands that coding is not easy.
