Chapter 188

"Lei Er, hurry up and get married!" Li Hebai walked over with a smile, "Get a wife to help take care of the fields."

Ren Ning has Yingpan; Xiao Gang has his own uncle Zhongyong's mansion; Li Hebai also has his sister to help.

Although there are people in Lei Er's hometown, the second elder can't read.It would be difficult for them to replace or manage fields far away.

Lei Er rolled his eyes and flattered him: "Sister-in-law, why don't you help me replace or take care of it."

For him, it is one thing to be able to replace it with good fields, as long as the existing land is not left unused and there is no harvest in the year.

"Okay." Yingpan didn't refuse.

Xingji is full of high gates in the city, and if you don't enter the third rank, no one will look at you seriously.

The future of Ren Ning and the others can be expected, but at this time they are still far away from the third rank.Guan Yi has been taken care of by the soldiers of the Ministry of War as much as possible, but the rewarded fields are still in remote places.

But after all, it is the same batch of rewards, and the fields of each other are not far apart.

And Lei Er's so-called escrow means to ask Yingpan to send a few trustworthy managers there, and then recruit some local farmers to rent the land to them for cultivation, and then collect the rent when harvesting.

That's it.

After Yingpan tidied up her clothes, Ren Ning said: "The land rent can be reduced, and the common people must be able to live."

When passing by Laigu County, they were both depressed and angry when they saw the surrounding situation.

Comparing your heart with your heart, you can't have that kind of situation where the people are living in poverty and selling their children and daughters on their own territory.

Anyway, Ren Ning and the others don't live on that bit of land rent.

As long as the rubber industry in Guangxin County is well developed, it will be enough for the children and grandchildren to eat and drink for several lifetimes.

"Got it." Yingpan knew this well and nodded with a smile.

"Sir," she asked, "how about we try to replace the paddy fields and mountains to Guangxin County?"

In this way, most of Guangxin's rubber forests can be completely included in the bag, so as not to spend money to buy them.

Unlike those upper-class counties, most of the barren mountains near the border are unowned.It's also easy to replace, you just need to take the land deed to the Ministry of Households to exchange for a piece of mountain land of similar size.

Unlike near the imperial capital or Xingluo County, unless someone trades or sells it, it is not easy to buy a property in these good places.

Ren Ning understood what Yingpan meant, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, you can figure it out yourself."

Zhennan Pass is going to move south to Hushou Pass, and Guangxin has a large piece of land.

Although there are no fertile fields there, there are lush rubber forests growing in many places, which are simply golden treasure mountains.

However, the Ministry of Households does not know the value of these mountains for the time being, and it is most suitable to treat them as barren mountains.

"Old Ren still has a sister-in-law, remember to exchange mine too." Lei Er's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran to the yard where he lived to take out the land deed.

After explaining this and looking at the sky, the few people went to the schoolyard of the Duke of the Town next door to join the other dragon boat team members who were waiting there.

There are not many clansmen in Zhen Guogong's residence in the imperial capital, but there are quite a lot of people on the school field at this time.As far as the eye can see, they are all young people with high spirits, both men and women.

Ren Xiqiao stood among a group of girls wearing veils.She came to cheer for Ren Ning and his cousin Ren Rong.

Seeing Ren Ning and Ying Pan coming in at this time, Ren Xi's eyes lit up.It's just that it's not good to shout loudly, so she waved her hand slightly as a greeting.

Ren Ning nodded, then ignored her, and then swept around with his gold finger.

Everyone in the school yard is a piece of bright green.

He couldn't help but feel relieved.

On the surface, the current dragon boat is a folk competition celebrated by the whole world, but in recent years, it has become more vaguely like the division and comparison of the youth forces in the imperial capital.

In previous years, in order to compete for a good ranking, some teams would even play tricks on powerful opponents.

Especially three years ago, Xing Ji City had just finished the martial arts.At the instigation of some people, some martial arts practitioners actually started fighting on the dragon boat...

Cough!

Huo Qing coughed twice.

He already had the highest status among all the young people, and he was the initiator of the dragon boat team, so he became the captain of course.

Walking over to say hello to Ren Ning and the others, Huo Qing said, "Is everyone here?"

"My lord, it's all ready!"

"Just counted, it's all here!"

Huo Qing smiled: "Since everyone is here, let's get out of the dragon boat."

"Dragon boat please, please dragon boat." Everyone looked at each other and shouted.

The town government occupies a vast area.There are not only several lakes in the mansion, but also canals connected to the moat, which is the Xinglan Grand Canal.

Competitors like Ren Ning and spectators like Yingpan can take a boat directly from Zhen Guo Gongfu to the river section of the dragon boat race, instead of carrying or dragging the whole dragon boat to swagger through the city, which is extremely convenient.

However, before the dragon boat launches its maiden voyage, it is usually necessary to find a respectable person to light up Long Qing.

After the dragon eyes are lit, the dragon boat can ride the wind and waves smoothly, and run fast and steadily.

Everyone looked towards the main courtyard at the same time.

The most respected person in Zhen Guogong's mansion is naturally Princess Yiguang.

Even Emperor Changxing had to address her as Emperor Aunt when they met each other.It is naturally enough to let her take a clear maiden voyage.

Bah Bah!
The deafening firecrackers sounded.

The hale-haired and energetic Princess Yiguang, dressed in heavy make-up, came over with a smile on her shoulders, like an old lady next door.

"See Your Highness the Eldest Princess." The juniors bowed down one after another to salute.

Ouch!

Princess Yiguang pretended to be shocked.

"You silly boys and girls, all of you are yelling so loudly. Do you think that I am old and my ears are hard to use, and I can't hear anymore?"

"No." Ren Ning and the others laughed and waved their hands jokingly: "Your Highness, your ears are better than ours."

Ren Xi, those who don't often visit the Zhen Guogong's mansion, looked at each other in blank dismay.They were bent over, still maintaining salute postures, not knowing what to do.

"Hi everyone." Yingpan smiled and quietly came over to explain to them.

"When the eldest princess calls herself 'I', it usually means that she is in a good mood and treats us as her own family. So don't be too restrained, just treat this place as your own home."

With the status of Zhen Guogong's mansion, this place has long been closely watched by other mansions.Ren Xi and the others had naturally heard about Princess Yiguang's habits, so they breathed a sigh of relief and straightened up.

It's just that Yingpan is talking, how presumptuously do they dare to treat the Zhen Guogong's mansion as their own home.

That is to say, Yingpan is from the grassland and has always been informal, so he can safely and boldly treat Princess Yiguang as an ordinary elder.

A group of people hugged Princess Yiguang and walked to the long dragon boat.

This dragon boat was specially ordered by Huo Qing for this dragon boat race. In fact, it has already been launched into the water.

This is also impossible.

When the team was first running in, they could just find a dragon boat for training.However, it is not only the need for running-in between the players, but also between the players and the dragon boat.

So in the past two days, Ren Ning's training has been transferred to the dragon boat used for the competition.

Princess Yiguang was not surprised either.

She smiled and said words of encouragement to Ren Ning and the other contestants before washing her hands with grapefruit leaves in the golden basin next to her.

Then Duan Duan hung up the bonus, lighted the sacrificial incense, and put a bunch of fresh grass into the dragon's mouth, then picked up the gold pen that Huo Qing held over, covered it with ink, and carefully pointed to Long Qing.
