Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 225;

Chapter 220: Lee's Delicatessen

"Have you heard that the old county man's son came back from Chang'an yesterday. The land exchange should be true this time, right?"

Near Lantian New County, northeast of the river, Zhaojiazhuang is four or five miles away.

Zhao Si was holding a ceramic basin at the door, and several neighbors who were eating showed off the news they inquired about yesterday.

A man in the crowd put down the empty bowl in his hand, wiped his mouth, and said unhurriedly;

"I said fourth, are you sure about your inquiries? There are two families in the village behind the Li family who want to exchange for me the 100-odd acres by the river.

At first I didn't care about it. I thought about it. After changing the land, I would have to travel a few more miles to serve the crops in the future, which was not worthwhile.

But those two families didn't give up, and came to me twice again, saying that I would exchange an acre and a half for an acre, and they also said that an acre of land would give me another [-] big money as compensation.

Of course I have to agree, but they also said that they can't proceed until the county of his family comes back. According to my opinion, they are all deceiving people, and they can't be accurate. How can there be such a good thing? "

"Brother, don't be unconvinced this time. We are all ancestors of the Zhao family. I can still coax you. The land exchange is definitely true.

My sister's man exchanged dozens of acres with Lin Wulang's family in Li's family village.

That is, one acre and a half was exchanged for one acre. My sister's family gave them 49 acres in exchange, and one acre of land returned [-] big money.

This guy is consistent. In the past two days, I went to the front village to visit,

When my sister mentioned this, she gave me ten big coins and told me to buy some hu meat pies for the two cubs to start off with meat.

This matter is absolutely true, Lin Wulang's daughter is a big celebrity around the county, and she has been in charge since she was a teenager.

Lin Wu's news is very well-informed. Now they come to replace the fields, and the price of [-] yuan per mu has become an open price.

If you don't believe me, ask all the old and young men present, has my younger brother ever lied? "

A man in his 40s next to him put down his bowl and chopsticks and came over;

"That's right, my cousin brought a farmer from the Li family to me two days ago, the contract was written, and it was my cousin's intermediary guarantee.

Now the land has also been changed, and that one mu of land costs [-] big bucks, and when they come back from the county, they cash it out and send it to me.

Hey, I don't know how much they have earned in exchange for their [-] mu of cultivated land by the river.

The twenty big money is a bonus if you give it, if you don't give it, I've already got a bargain, so why not do it?
I'm happy, the money can be spent slowly, but I'm not happy, he has to get it for me immediately, otherwise, I will go to the Lantian Yamen to sue him.

The contract was written by Mr. Bai from Qianzhuangli, with all the witnesses and material evidence, so he is not afraid of running away. "

A woman couldn't help interjecting; "I don't know what the county of their family thinks,

They actually want to gather all the fields together. It is said that rice will be planted in the future, and our blue fields do not have more water than those in the south.
There will be severe droughts every now and then, even if there is water in the river, and in drought years, people will not have enough to eat. Who has the strength and leisure to carry water to irrigate the fields every day?Isn't this nonsense. "

"Isn't it? His sister-in-law is still building the river recently, saying that she wants to build some kind of waterwheel to pump water from the river to irrigate the fields.

How many cows do you have to buy to pull it?Let me tell you, the county is still young and doesn't know the depth,

There must be some subordinates instigating, no matter how big the family business left by the old county man, can he withstand such a toss?
The twenty big money for one mu of land has to be paid out from the county man's mansion. Those left by the old county man may be wiped out this time. "

The crowd began to discuss again, once the old county man left, the young man who inherited the family business would probably be able to squander the family business in a short time.

The same scene was staged one after another in Zhuangzi with a radius of tens of miles.

The Chinese New Year is almost here, and the common people have nothing to do. The households in Lijiazhuang are buying land for land, which is already the biggest news in Lantian.

Li Yu still got up at nine o'clock today, washed and dressed, and then went to the front hall, had a hearty breakfast, and listened to Li Zhong and Li Yi report on the work progress.

Li Yi was scolded last night, and today he was too frightened to speak, so he stood aside and waited cautiously.

Chief Steward Li Zhong reported sentence by sentence;

"Sir, yesterday, Li Yi spread the word to several Zhuangzi, and everyone was very happy to learn that when Lang returned to the mansion, he would arrange a compensation of [-] yuan per mu of land.

The subordinates have also brought the word to each household. Today, when the time is applied, they will come to the mansion to register and collect the money. It is estimated that the replacement will take about three or two days. "

"Then, where's Uncle Liu, is the convoy going to Chang'an to collect money set off?"

"Going back to Mr. Lang, I left before dawn, and I'm afraid I have already arrived in Chang'an.

All the veteran soldiers who came down from more than 200 battlefields were mobilized, and even Aye, who was in charge of Lin, was mobilized.

With so many people and horses, the money carriage was kept safe and sound, so the owner doesn't have to worry about it. "

Li Yu's face was full of disdain;

"Isn't it just a hundred dollars per mu of land? You think the mansion can't afford it? How petty."

"They're all from small families, short-sighted, the owner doesn't need to get angry with them,

In fact, they didn't talk about giving money, so they went to implement it. This talk about money and money began to worry about gains and losses again.
Just don't think about it, if it weren't for the kindness of the previous Patriarch, they would have starved to death [-] times. In the final analysis, it is our family that has children. "

As one of the representatives of the Jiashengzi faction, Chief Steward Li Zhong, speaks to Jiashengzi all the time.

Li Yu likes to drink millet porridge the most, and he gets three bowls every morning. The second steward, Li Yi, is very winking at the side, seeing that the head of the family has finished eating the first bowl, and quickly takes the empty bowl to fill the rice.

Rushing to do the work that originally belonged to serving the maids, made some of the maids uncomfortable, and it was hard to say anything.

"What you said is half right, and half is a compromise. Needless to say, the family in our house has a child. No matter in terms of loyalty or obedience, others are incomparable."

Li Yu took the second bowl of millet porridge, took a sip, and then spoke unhurriedly.

Li Zhong was very happy to see his words being approved, so he said casually, "The owner of the house is wise, and my family must have nothing to say."

Li Yu still had a good idea of ​​his attitude towards the peasant households.

Don't talk about giving a hundred yuan subsidy, even if you don't give it, if you really decide to go your own way, the farmers will stick to it.
It's not possible to make trouble, but Li Yu has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he always wants to do things to perfection so that he can feel at ease.

While listening to Li Zhong talking, he looked down on those poor people, so he wanted to say a few words for them;
"My lord is also aware of the loyalty of your family's son, but you must be fair in what you say and do in order to convince the public.

If a bowl of water is uneven, how can it make others feel comfortable?
Those poor farmers are also unambiguous, I am assured of loyalty,

Take the guru who burn bricks as an example, they are not from our mansion.

Is it not good to be old, to be tortured for half the night by the damn villain, desperate to die, and not to reveal a word of the secret method of cement? "

Li Zhong and Li Yi have nothing to refute, he is indeed worthy of admiration, Li Yi carefully laughed along with him;
What the head of the family said was indeed true, those two old men were really hard-hearted, they were tortured for half their lives, and they still didn't say a word, the villain also admired them very much. "

Li Zhong also smiled embarrassedly;

"What the head of the family said is that the villain does not mean that outsiders like them are unreliable and unfaithful.

What the villain means is that our own family is convenient after all, and we dare not have other meanings, so please don't misunderstand. "

While the master and servants were talking, Li Yu, who was eating, suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and asked hastily;

"By the way, my lord suddenly remembered that I told you to go and buy people everywhere, chickens, have you implemented it.

Speaking of which, he was so busy with the liquor and the river affairs that he forgot about it. "

The matter of raising chickens has always been in charge of Li Yi, when he saw the owner questioning him, he quickly replied;
""Report to the Patriarch, according to Patriarch's order, bought a lot of chickens and distributed them.

Each family has dozens of chickens, and now they have grown into old hens.

Farmers can relax a little bit when they eat eggs, and their life is going well, but it is much better than before.

Some of them were reluctant to eat, so they took them to the county market and exchanged them for a few big money to go back. "

"I have to tell everyone that this chicken needs to be raised more. In the future, we will get some spices and prepare them dozens of times.
You can always accumulate some experience, as long as the stewed soup tastes authentic, and if you sell it cheaper, you are not afraid that it will not be sold.

Dozens of shops have been set up in various parts of Chang'an City, and some stewed chicken shops have been opened to monopolize all the roast chicken business in Chang'an City.

You can also make beggar chicken and sell it together. Pig head meat and ears can be put into a marinated pot. Although this kind of cooked food shop is inconspicuous, it is worth a lot of consumption every day. Make a lot of money. "

"The head of the family is extremely intelligent, he is really powerful, he can make money with just one arrangement, the villain is really admirable."

Li Yi's flattery slapped loudly.

"Come on, I'm tired of listening to just these few sentences anyway."

Li Yi, the second steward, smiled awkwardly;
"Patriarch, the villain still doesn't understand that raising too many chickens is a waste of food.

People are reluctant to eat more food. Could it be that after selling money and then buying food, the chickens will not be able to eat it? This is a bit of a waste of grain. "

Li Yu put down the bowls and chopsticks and decided to educate the Second Manager Li;

"You are still not convinced that you are stupid, do you have to eat food?

Eat some grain bran, bran health or something?

Besides, that old hen, won't go to the ground to plan food?

Hardworking birds get worms, don't you understand this truth?
Which households have you seen spreading grain to old hens every day? "
