Datang Nongwang

Chapter 374
Qiao Su was taken aback when he heard Li Chongyuan's words, and after he realized it, he quickly responded: "Young Lord, these are the tenants of Hujiazhuang. It's not my fault. I distributed the money, cloth and grain you told me last time. gone."

Josu's words.

It finally convinced Li Chongyuan that he was not lying.

Qiao Su, he, Li Chongyuan still believed it.

However, the tenants that Li Chongyuan saw did not look like tenants, not so much refugees.

"Forget it, it seems that they saved money after getting the money cloth, and they didn't dare to spend it recklessly, which is why they are still dressed in such shabby clothes." Li Chongyuan sighed secretly in his heart.

His own tenant, so ragged, yellow and emaciated.

To be honest, Li Chongyuan really couldn't see it.

but.

Li Chongyuan distributed some money and grain, which can be regarded as Li Chongyuan's sympathy for the new tenants.

But this sympathy was exchanged for the cautiousness of these tenants.

There is a saying.

How would they know whether to return the things that the boss gave away for free?

This also makes these tenants, after getting the money cloth, they can only store it, fearing that the new owner will come to settle accounts with them one day.

in fact.

Li Chongyuan is not so generous.

The money cloth and so on also need to be paid for by labor.

As for rations, it also needs to be converted according to a certain percentage after this year's grain output.

But it has to be said.

Li Chongyuan can be regarded as a good old man, not to mention that the rations are distributed first, and the conversion ratio is pitifully small.

One stone ration, when the grain is produced, only half a stone needs to be paid back.

This is impossible anywhere.

If you don't ask for more, it is already considered a good owner.

Li Chongyuan waved to Zhang Ping who was not far away, motioning for him to come and talk.

Seeing Li Chongyuan calling him, Zhang Ping hurried over, "Little Lang."

"I won't say anything more about the tenants of Hujiazhuang. What should be said, I will let Manager Qiao talk about it. I will also let Manager Qiao talk about the specific things in a while. I will go back first." Li Chongyuan looked Not wanting to leave this kind of scene, he had no choice but to explain the matter, then turned and left.

Zhang Ping watched Li Chongyuan leave, nodded and bowed again.

Even the tenants not far away were bowing, almost kneeling.

This made Li Chongyuan let out a long sigh, shook his head and walked down the mountain.

After Li Chongyuan left.

But Qiao Guanshi and Zhang Ping came to the tenants, "The one just now is your boss Xiaolangjun. If you see him in the future, you should respect him. Just now Xiaolangjun spoke, and, I used to I also told you that you need to pay for the money cloth and so on, and when the time comes, steward Zhang will record it."

"This work is actually not a heavy job. It's just helping to clean up the mountain. There are four pancakes per person per day, three pancakes for the elderly and children, and unlimited hot soup. In addition, the wages are [-] cents a day. Yes, if anyone gets sick or injured while working, remember to report to Steward Zhang,..."

Under Qiao Su's yelling.

All the tenants stood there dumbfounded at first.

But then it was after listening to work and giving so many pancakes and wages.

Suddenly there was a bang, and the discussion started.

happy.

There are cheers.

There were also those who wept with joy.

"Good boss."

"Mother, there are pancakes to eat, mother, I'm hungry."

"Father, is this true? Why does it sound wrong to me?"

"My master is a good man."

"Master Qingtian, master Qingtian."

In short, there is always doubt in the discussion.

after all.

There are so many people talking, plus they have never met such a good boss, how did such a great good thing fall on their heads?

Shortly after.

Under Zhang Ping's command, the tenants began to work.

at the same time.

Qiao Su also commanded some men to get the trees cut down earlier and build a wooden bridge upstream of the waterlogged water.

There is a straight-line distance of more than ten miles between Hujiazhuang and Lizhuang.

And there is a flood in the middle.

Today, Zhang Ping brought the tenants of Hujiazhuang to Lizhuang to help. It took an hour to arrive at Lizhuang starting early in the morning.

to this end.

In order to save the time of turning a big bend and rushing on the road, we had to build a wooden bridge over the waterlogged water.

Fortunately, the flood water is not wide, less than ten feet wide, otherwise, this wooden bridge would not be easy to erect.

Furthermore, the wooden bridge does not need to be too good, as long as it is convenient to pass.

It was breakfast time.

When the tenants of Hujiazhuang put down their work after being notified, and went up and down the mountain to the foot of the mountain under the leadership of Zhang Ping, they saw a long line of helpers leading their pancakes. After drinking hot soup, I believed Qiao Su's words.

"Father, really give out pancakes, you see, everyone has two." A woman looked at some unknown helpers, and after holding the two pancakes she received, her eyes were gloomy.

And the child beside the husband and wife was even more greedy, "Father, mother, I'm so hungry."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we've lined up too, don't let people say that we have no rules." The man saw that the line was neatly lined up, and hurriedly dragged his family to the back of the line.

All the tenants were so hungry that they were about to burst into flames.

Seeing the other helpers biting and tearing the pancakes, I am not greedy.

Pancakes are not something they can afford.

original.

In the past, when they went to work in other employers, if they could drink a bowl of vegetable porridge, they were already very fragrant.

But no one expected that after Hujiazhuang became a permanent tenant.

Money, cloth and food will be distributed, and houses are ready-made.

and.

When I came to Lizhuang to work as a helper, I still had pancakes to eat.

This is something no one has really thought about, let alone seen.

And everything in front of him is enough to prove that everything is real and not a dream.

After all the tenants received the pancakes, they sat down directly, regardless of whether they were dirty or not, and began to eat and bite with their own family members.

but.

The pancakes are delicious, but also dry and hard to swallow.

This is not.

Many tenants, because they were not prepared, apart from receiving pancakes, they didn't even have a bowl of hot soup.

"Cough, cough."

After being choked on dry pancakes, the sound of dry coughing continued.

After seeing this, the other helpers pointed at the tenants in Hujiazhuang and laughed.

Xiang Shi snorted coldly at this time, "It's the first time this person is here, I don't know the situation, if you have a spare bowl, use it for them."

Xiang Shi's cold snort was very lethal.

And Xiang Shi's words also made sense.

to this end.

All the helpers hurriedly took their own bowls, made a bowl of hot soup and brought them over.

"Thank you."

"Thank you, are you also here to work as a helper in Lizhuang?"

Thank you so much, so that they, who are also helpers, also started to talk.

And at this time in Li Zhuang.

Li Chongyuan, who had finished eating, was instructing Wan'er to start washing the dishes, "Go, wash all these dishes, you still owe me dozens of pennies, you promised fourth brother that I will do the work, and now Now I still owe a lot, this bowl will be washed by you from today on."

"I don't wash it, I've already planted dozens of fruit tree seedlings." Wan'er refused.

Li Chongyuan stared, "It's fine if you don't wash it, then pay me back the dozens of money you owe me, and you won't have to do any work in the future."

"Xiao Langjun, my lady is not for this job, I'll do it." Qiao Hui, who was standing aside, hurriedly took cover for Wan'er.

However, Li Chongyuan waved his hand, "Qiao Hui, don't meddle in this matter. Wan'er, do you wash this bowl or not? If you don't wash it, then you can go to the mountain to dig a hole today. Ten Wen, this is a high price for you, those helpers dig dozens of hundreds of holes a day, and they only pay twenty Wen."

"You can wash it, but you have to pay me for washing the dishes today." Wan'er nodded immediately when she heard that it was ten cents for digging a hole.

But after she nodded, she started talking about the price again.

Li Chongyuan chuckled, "A penny? Then I'll wash it for you every day. If you give me seven hundred pens a year, I'm willing to do it. I want a penny for washing the dishes. It's a good idea. I count you five." Ten pennies will cover the account."

"Huh!" Wan'er heard that washing the dishes cost only fifty cents a time, and after grunting with her mouth pouted, she obediently took the bowl to the pressurized well, and with Xiaohong's help, she started to cook. Here come the child laborers.

stingy person.

This is a new nickname that Wan'er came out of Li Zhuang Xiaowa's mouth recently.

And Wan'er is really an iron cock.

If you put the money in her pocket, don't even think about getting it back.

Wan'er got the money for purchasing the mushrooms from Li Chongyuan, and the money for sending the kids to help with the work was also from Li Chongyuan and so on.

Adding up the odds and ends, she owes her fourth brother more than [-] pennies.

There was a clanging sound from the pressurized well.

Sitting in the main room, Li Chongyuan was afraid that the girl would feel resentful, so he quickly added, "If you break a bowl, ten cents will be deducted!"

Immediately.

The clanging sound disappeared immediately.

but.

Although the jingling sound disappeared, the soft voice sounded again, "Bad fourth brother, stinky fourth brother, you are an iron cock, I must sue you to my mother, and let me clean it." Bowl, let me"

Li Chongyuan couldn't hear the girl's nagging.

If you can't hear clearly, it doesn't mean you don't know who this girl is talking about.

immediately.

Li Chongyuan stood up, walked out of the main room gently, and came behind Wan'er.

And this time.

Wan'er's chatter changed into a different style, "The little lunatic has raised so many big white geese, and he still owes me two big white geese. A big white goose weighs ten catties at least. I remember Butler Qi said that a big goose can be sold for ten pennies in the Yingbin building."

Okay.

After listening to the nagging for a long time, Li Chongyuan realized that the girl was thinking about the twenty big white geese raised by the little lunatic.

She wanted to sell two big white geese to Qihuo, so as to offset the debt she owed her fourth brother.

Li Chongyuan only smiled when he heard this, and then went back to the big house gently.

Li Chongyuan is not in the mood to play tricks with this girl.

He is the fourth brother.

Naturally, I want to use this method so that this girl can do what she can, or let her know that everything is valuable.

This is the same as the tenants in Hujiazhuang.

Pay off with work.

And this moment.

At the foot of Niu Shou Mountain.

While eating pancakes and drinking hot soup, they even talked about Li Zhuang.

"It turns out that your life was not as good as ours in the past, but now that you have become tenants of Li County, you can expect a bright future. Have you seen that the villagers in Lizhuang are not very rich , It only takes a year or two, not to mention that pancakes can be eaten at will, and even food, your respective homes can be full of grain.” After listening to the words of the tenants in Hujiazhuang, the group of helpers knew the background of these helpers Come.

There are envious ones.

There are greedy.

but.

Lizhuang does not want tenants, and the tenants of Hujiazhuang are also refugees from outside.

and.

They also inquired with Xiang Shi and the others just now, and they knew that it was impossible for Li Chongyuan to ask for tenants in the near future.

Otherwise, they would rush to Li Chongyuan's small courtyard, and even if they begged for three days, they would still enter Hu's Manor to be tenants.

After hearing the news, all the tenants of the Hu Family Manor also had expectations for the future: "If it is as good as you said, then we will have a way to survive when we come to Hu County."

"Yeah, if we can be like Li Zhuang in the future, then we must invite the Bodhisattva to Mr. Xiaolang."

"It's not enough to invite a bodhisattva. You have to build a temple. In this way, after a hundred years, Mr. Xiaolang will be able to eat incense."

"."

So say.

If Li Chongyuan heard about it, he would have to whip these people with thorns.

What does Xiao Langjun eat incense after a hundred years?

I, Li Chongyuan, am only 15 years old, okay?You just hope that I won't die sooner.

but.

It's normal to talk about such things among them.

There is a saying.

Making a Bodhisattva statue for someone is the highest courtesy.

Such as building a temple or something, it is even higher.

In this world, who is qualified to be envisioned by the common people to build statues of Bodhisattvas or build temples? Except for gods, Buddhas, and Taoists, there is probably no one.

Instead, turn to ten of them.

After hearing the conversations of these helpers, a sense of pride began to flash in my heart.

My little man is remembered by all the helpers, which is better than anything else.

Eat and drink well.

What should be said is also said, what should be talked about is also talked about.

But this life cannot be stopped.

In the evening of that day, all the helpers who were off work rushed to their own homes with the pancakes they had received.

But at this moment in the Hu Family Manor, people from the Hu family suddenly blocked the way home for those tenants.

"What do you want to do!!! We are the tenants of Li Xianzi. If you dare to attack us, Li Xianzi will never let you go!" Zhang Ping looked nervously at a large group of people under the moonlight Hu family.

At this time, among the Hu family crowd, a Hu family member came out, slapped hands and said: "Don't be nervous, everyone, we just heard that you went to Lizhuang to help, so we came here to ask, Mr. Li County Are there any helpers there?"
