Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 166;
Chapter 160 Seven Origins of the Dead
"What the lady said is not unreasonable, a certain family suddenly thought of a question, isn't the aunt of Uncle Cheng's family the eldest daughter of the Cui family?
Another day I met with my elder brother (Cheng Chusi) and asked about it. The elder brother must be Cui Wang who knows about this Nagato. It is easy to deal with it by checking what kind of temperament this person has. "

Li Yu heard Wang Kexin say that the Cui family is rich and powerful, so he inevitably became cautious.

"Good, sir, ask the gentlemen of the Cheng family. After all, they are still cousins, so they probably know something."

Situ Yunsha remembered that Li Yu had to go to the river tomorrow, so he was thinking about his body.

"Isn't Mr. Lang going to the river tomorrow to supervise the start of construction? You should go to bed early today so that you will be refreshed tomorrow. It takes a lot of effort to go around the river, so you can't sleep well."

"It's okay, I was in a good mood, but the reminder disturbed it. I, my lord, will go for a walk in the Zhuangzi and come back after dark."

"Lang Jun, let's go, but we must return late."

Don't worry, Mrs. Situ, if you walk around in your own village, there is no risk. "

"Without the Cui family of Qinghe, naturally there is no need to take precautions. You have to be careful in the future!"

Wang Kexin was worried about Li Yu's carelessness, so she couldn't help reminding her.

"Mistress Wang, don't be too cautious. Even if they want to make a bad move, there must be some preparation time. I will go!"

"Lang Jun, go slowly."

"For Mr. Lang."

The two girls got up to see each other off and gave a blessing.

"Daniel! What are you busy with? You're in such a panic?"

As soon as Li Yu left the mansion and entered the village, he was startled when he saw people coming and going, heavy traffic.

This is the countryside and not Chang'an, why is it so lively?

While he was wondering, he saw the attendant Da Niu hurrying away with a big burden on his back.Immediately stopped him.

"Mr. Lang? I have met Mr. Lang!"

Daniu saw that he was his husband, so he nodded and bowed in the posture of carrying a backpack.

"You don't need to be too polite, and you still carry such a big burden. By the way, what are you doing? Are you going away?"

"Lang Jun was joking, how can I go far away, and I don't have any relatives outside, even if I have, it's the Niujia Village outside Chang'an City, so it's not far away."

"Then what are you carrying?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Tomorrow, you are going to build an embankment on the river. This is my neighbor's quilt in the east house.

Liu Laoqi from the kitchen was assigned to my east house, and they will be neighbors from now on, separated by a wall, their family moved, I came to help, right? "

"Lang Jun is well!"

"Have you eaten, Mr. Lang?"

The common people of the village who came and went said hello to Li Yu, then pushed the wheelbarrow and left quickly.

"Oh good, good,"

"I have eaten it in the daytime, and in the evening..."

Before Li Yu finished speaking, the people who greeted him hurried away.

"Lang Jun, if there is no order, the villain will go to work?"

"Okay, let's go, then Liu Qilang cooks excellent dishes, you will be lucky tonight, Da Niu!"

"Hey, that's right, I heard that Liu Qi specially bought two tables of noodles tonight, hey."

When Daniel talked about the rice noodles, he couldn't help swallowing a handful of gluttonous water.

"Tsk, tsk! Tsk. Look at your stupid appearance. It's like you haven't eaten it in eight lifetimes. Why, have you never eaten rice noodles with me, or have you never eaten meat?"

Li Yu watched Daniel swallow his saliva, and cursed with a smile.

Looking at the big cow who left, and then at the farmers who were busy moving,

Li Yu also wanted to hang out. In his previous life, his good friends would get together every now and then. When they came to Datang, they only went to Qincheng.

He hasn't eaten at anyone's house yet, or dropped by.

"Miss, is your house in the new house?"

When Rong Niang saw the question from Mr. Lang, she opened her mouth to answer; "Return to Mr. Lang, I moved there yesterday."

"That's it. We'll have dinner at your house tonight. Go, you go back to the kitchen and tell them who are on duty. Take your guys and go to Rong Niang's house to cook. I'm going to visit Rong Niang's house tonight."

Li Yu gave instructions to a servant who was following him.

The boy quickly turned around and went back to the house.

Rong Niang agreed with Li Yu's decision with both hands, wishing she could raise her feet too!
"Xie Lang-jun appreciates the face, this servant will go back and pass on the message!"

Rong Niang said happily!

"Hey! No, no, let's just go there together. It's too troublesome for us to go one in front of the other."

"Your Majesty (the mother's name in the Tang Dynasty), come out and greet me, your husband is here. Your Majesty..."

As soon as Rong Niang reached the door of her house, she shouted.

"Hey, hey! Here we come! Here we come."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here, hurry up and invite me to the house, the slave family is very polite!"

"Young lady, you don't need to be too polite. My lord came today uninvited, so I'm so abrupt, please forgive me, my lady!"

Li Yu greeted him politely as he walked into the yard.

Rong Niang's mother was overwhelmed by the flattery, and hurriedly replied, "Where did the gentleman say that, the gentleman arrived, and he was not far away to greet him, and he was extremely rude. If a small family can win the favor of the gentleman, it will be full of glory! Sir, please."

"The lady has a beautiful appearance, a straightforward nature, and can speak well. It is Lin Wu's blessing!"

Li Yu was here to visit, so of course he had to say a few words to be obedient, and in a few words, Rong Niang's mother was praised endlessly.

"Da Lin, hurry up and go to the next door, tell you Aye (father) to come back, and say that the gentleman is here, tell you Aye not to move, come back quickly, go quickly, go quickly."

"My man went to help the folks move things, and after a while he returned, Mr. Lang will take his seat first, and the slave will come when he goes."

"Mistress, don't panic, just go."

After Li Yu sat in the main hall for a while, he saw Rongniang's mother, who had changed into a brand new dress and decorated the facade, and also had a silver hairpin on her head.

A 40-year-old woman is not old at all, so if she deliberately dresses up like this, she will look very charming.

This Rongniang's mother is a concubine from a small wealthy family, so she is very particular about the etiquette of treating guests. When a distinguished guest comes, of course she has to re-dress to show respect for the guest.

Sitting in the main hall, Li Yu had a panoramic view of the courtyard. Lin Wulang, Rongniang's father, came in quickly from outside, and followed behind to call his eldest son.

"I have met you, sir, and you are well."

"No need to be like this, my lord came here on a whim today and wants to eat here, I don't know if you welcome me, lord of the Lin family?"

When Li Yu came to Rongniang's house as a guest, he completely forgot about the reminder.

When Lin Wu heard this, he rubbed his hands happily, "Of course you are welcome, the villain is very excited, now go to Lantian County in the back, buy some mutton and come back, sir, wait a moment, Rong Niang, don't you give it to Lang Jun?" Boil some water to moisten your throat!"

Now the Lantian County Government has moved to the back of Lijiazhuang.

"Yes, Ayer."

"Don't be busy, don't be busy, I have already told the kitchen in the mansion to bring everything I need, and I will cook it in your kitchen. Look, isn't this here?"

While the two were talking, they saw a large group of people carrying different ingredients, some with chopping boards and wooden blocks, some with kitchen knives and shovels, marching into the courtyard in a mighty manner.

Rong Niang's mother hurried out to let a group of people into the kitchen, very busy.

A few half-grown children at the door chatted with Rong Niang's two younger brothers, looking at the busy crowd.

"You guys go out to play around first. Today, Mr. Wang came to my house to eat, but I can't let you mess around. Lin Da, quickly take them out to play wildly."

Rong Niang's mother stood outside the gate of her house, and doubled the volume of what Lang Jun said when he came to my house for dinner today, for fear that the neighbors would not hear her.

After working for a long time, I finally brought a table of food and wine to the table of the Eight Immortals in the main hall.

Li Yu took the seat, and Rongniang's family and Li Yu's servant girls stood by and waited on her.

Li Yu looked at Rongniang's family and said, "Everyone is sitting, why are you standing?"

Rongniang's father responded and said, "Your Majesty is for your own use. How can a certain farmer eat at the same table as your Majesty."

"That's right, it's for the gentleman's own use, and the slave's house can also serve the gentleman's food. Rong Niang, why don't you bring food for the gentleman! What are you doing in a daze!"

"I'm here to drop by, so why am I sitting alone?
Come on, come on, come on, Mr. Lin, just sit down, I'm the only one eating and drinking, what's the point, you sit down with peace of mind today, so you can have a drink with me. "

Seeing that Li Yu was a little unhappy, Lin Wu couldn't shirk it, so he started to strike, and sat opposite Li Yu, while Rong Niang and her mother remained motionless.

Li Yu also knew that he probably couldn't be persuaded, so he stopped talking and started eating and drinking with Lin Wu.

"In the past two days, all the villagers have been busy moving. What can Mr. Lin Jialang know? How about making it interesting?"

As Li Yu spoke, he picked up the wine glass again and drank it down in one gulp.

"My lord, there is nothing new, but the new houses allotted to each family are a bit compact, not enough to live in, so the living is a bit crowded."

Lin Wu is honest and won't beat around the bush, telling the truth.

Li Yu was surprised and said, "Crowded? How could it be crowded? When Mr. Ben built Zhuangzi, he planned it according to the household registration of Wang's wife.

In addition to the ones distributed to the Lantian County Government, the rest, we have hundreds of households in Lijiazhuang, and I have built hundreds of households to accommodate them. How can there be enough houses for each household? "

"My lord doesn't know that the roster of the Wang family's wives is the old roster when the old lord bought these five villas.
But now, the number of people is wrong! "

"No? Could it be that something can come out of nowhere?"

Rong Niang's mother next to her smiled and said, "Have you forgotten, Mr. Lang, time has changed, which family has a lot more?"

"kindness?"

Lin Wu saw that his wife was embarrassed to explain clearly, so he took over the conversation; "So that Mr. Wang can know that there are three or four sons of some village households, and there are as many as six or seven sons. Ten years have passed since the roster registered in that year. how many years,

Many of the younger generations took marriages and gave birth to children, and most of the children back then were males ().

The five of us Zhuangzi are no longer the number of people on the original roster.

The heads alone have been turned over a lot. In the old house, there were not enough people to live in, so they used soil embryos to make do with the two rooms.
Now that they have moved to a new house, who is willing to make a few dilapidated earthen brick houses in this big red brick house to be an eyesore, so most of them live in a compact and crowded place. "

"My God, isn't that right, a certain family has forgotten, this person wants to be a stranger!"

Li Yu listened to Lin Wu's detailed explanation, and then remembered, which woman can't have children,
The five Zhuangzi in their early [-]s, after more than ten years of reproduction, will there be many more?Doubling is normal.

"What Lang Jun said is, don't talk about newborn children, among the five Zhuangzi in our own family, there are very few daughters who are married off.

People in the whole Lantian County know that there is a huge granary in our mansion, which has stored surplus grain for two full years.
In the past few decades, no man, woman, or child has ever starved to death. Therefore, daughters from other places rushed to marry us Zhuangzi,
The daughters in our village don't go out, and the addition of new-born children has caused the population to increase a lot.
From now on, the world will be peaceful, and we Zhuangzi are not afraid of food support, and I am afraid that there will be many more in the future.

It is these old houses in our Lijiazhuangzi, and there are still many households left behind.Except for my old house which is empty, there are still people living there. "

Not to mention the allocation of houses by Mr. Lang's family to each other, even if the family is divided into two or three houses, it is not redundant. "

"Lying on the grass!"

Li Yu sighed out the oral language of his previous life.Shocked!
But Li Yu was only stunned for a while, and then laughed from ear to ear.

For other big households, the sudden increase in population may be a very uncomfortable burden, but for Li Yu who came from later generations, it was a big surprise,
Li Yu, who came from later generations, whether it is experience, experience, knowledge, or knowledge, is much higher than the ancients here. After all, the accumulation and inheritance of wisdom for thousands of years is extraordinary.

In this backward farming society, Li Yu is very clear that everything has to be done by manpower, there is no mechanized production, and there is no technological revolution.

Here, you need sufficient labor to lay the foundation for anything you do.

Without the population base, everything is nonsense. Even in war, it also depends on the number of troops. In the hostile camp, under the suppression of absolute numbers, even if you use troops again, it will not be of much use.

If someone comes with an army of 10 people, you can bring out 1000 people, even if Han Xin and Marquis Wu are resurrected, they can only look at the ocean and sigh, avoiding the edge.

As long as the opponent's general doesn't command indiscriminately, almost in the case of overwhelming strength, he will surely win!
Li Yu came here a thousand years later, and he graduated from a bachelor's degree. He is smart and can understand a little bit. How could he not understand this truth?
What he thought of was not the cost of building a house, or how much money would be wasted. What Li Yu thought about was the future value of these people. What he thought about was...

"Mr. Lin, this grown-up man is going to be allocated the Yongye Field, and there is also the mouth to share the land. Will Lantian County have any of these?"

Li Yu is very concerned about this issue. He has been troubled by the idea of ​​building a large super farm for two days because of land resources.

When I met with Rongniang's father, it was only when the population increased that I realized that many problems can be cured to save the country.

"Qi lord, except for the more than 300 households in the mansion who have no household registration, the other households are all household registrations of good people. As long as they are male, they can report to the county government, and the county government will distribute the land uniformly. There are all of them, you don’t have to worry about this, sir.”

"Then, in our village, is there any farmer who gets the land on both sides of the river?"

Li Yu asked anxiously.

"I don't know much about this, but I think there is. Last month, I heard that Sun Xing from Houzhuang mentioned that it was his family's Erlang, and the [-] acres of Yongye farmland were all divided on the high slope by the river. .

There is more than 30 mu of land beside the mouth, although it is close to the river, but his family's land is all middle and low-grade, and they are divided into tens of mu of middle and low-grade land at once, so Sun Xingfeng said it was God Being unfair to his family, always depressed. "

Li Yu listened carefully to every word of Rongniang's father, and carefully tried to say, "The lord, if he exchanged some middle-to-high-grade land, or high-grade land, with that Sun Xing, would he be willing?"

"Of course he is willing. It's not a good idea to kill him. It's just that why would you want to replace the good land? This is too counterintuitive. Don't do such a loss-making business!"

"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own tricks, Li Yi!"

"The villain is here, what is your order?"

"You immediately arrange people to spread the word to all Zhuangzi, every household must spread the word,

Let me tell you what I mean, as long as the son of any family becomes a man, I will give him an extra set of new houses, and two men will get two sets. Give as much as you have, go quickly, do it now! "

Li Yu's words provoked the sound of air-conditioning in the main hall.

"hiss……"

Lin Wu was born to be kind, and the first one couldn't help but persuade him, "Your Majesty, you must not do this. In this way, I don't know how much money will be spent in the mansion. How can this be done?"

"I made it, I made it, I made it when I said it, Li Yi, what are you still doing here?"

Seeing Li Yi standing still, Li Yu felt a little unhappy.

Normally this loyal servant is not obedient, why now...

Li Yi next to him was crying, "Don't be angry, Mr. Lin's words are not bad at all.

If every household is divided into several sets of new houses, our mansion will spend a lot of money,
Such and such,...how, how can this mansion withstand the toss?Please be more careful..."
