Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 79
Sun Xin stayed on Dulonggang for two days, cleared up all the problems in the cornfields of the three Zhuangzi, explained to the people of the three Zhuangzi how to deal with them, and rode back on a fast horse amidst the gratitude of the three Zhuangzi. Shili brand.

The village heads introduced by Li Zhi and Gu Jia both arrived.

The two village heads who came here were both in their thirties. Sun Xin heard from Li Zhi and Gu Jia that one of them was surnamed Chen, and the other was Tao Zongwang, nicknamed Nine-Tailed Turtle.

When Sun Xin heard Tao Zongwang's name, his face twitched. He never expected that Zhao Zhuangtou would recruit another Liangshan hero.

The man who was in charge of the construction of farmland farming and housing and the construction of river ditches and port branches in Liangshan in the Water Margin is not only a good farmer but also a master of water conservancy.

In the original book, Tao Zongwang was already the second head of Huangmen Mountain when he appeared on the stage, and the introduction background also pointed out that he was a tenant, but he didn't say why he went up the mountain and fell into the grass.

According to the general situation in this era, a tenant farmer must have committed some crimes when he went to the mountains and fell grass. The landlord who tenanted the land to him is very likely to be harmed. Although Sun Xin knew that Tao Zongwang was capable, he was a little worried when he thought of this level. Although the guy knows how to farm the land, he is a criminal. When the time comes, he will become greedy and cause some murder in the village.

He hurriedly inquired about Tao Zongwang's life experience.

Then I heard Li Zhi say: "This man is from Guangzhou, Henan. He is a good farmer. He usually follows others to be tenants in Shandong, Hebei, Henan. He has been doing this for generations. He has a good reputation. He has been here before. We have been in Dengzhou for half a year, and we know as usual that when it comes to farming, I, Li Zhi, have never obeyed anyone before I met you, the owner of the village, but in front of Tao Zongwang, I know that I am not as good as him."

"A capable family like him, how can he do it for several generations or still be a tenant for others?"

Li Zhi couldn't help heaving a long sigh when he said this, he obviously knew Tao Zongwang's life background: "It's a pity to say that Tao Zongwang has accumulated a lot of money in the past two years, and he went to other people's land to take over several hundred tenants. Acres of land, including lessons and taxes, and recruited farmers to work together. If he had planted it that time, he would be a landlord now. However, there was a heavy rain in summer, and all the grain planted in the field that season was flooded. He didn’t earn a single penny back, but instead owed the landlord’s field tax. In order to prevent his farmers from selling their sons and daughters, Tao Zongwang posted his wallet to pay the field tax they were supposed to bear. This made the two generations Decades of people’s savings have been put into it, and it’s like this.”

Li Zhidao: "There are rumors about this matter in the villages in Shandong and Hebei. I also respect his deep loyalty, so I specially called him here."

Sun Xin nodded in understanding.

Li Zhi is rather old-fashioned, and he doesn't have a deep relationship with others. Sun Xin was surprised at how he came here to recommend a talent for himself. It turned out that there was such a relationship.

If Tao Zongwang didn't kill the landlord's family in an uprising because of the money, but because he couldn't see that the peasants under him had no food and clothing, so he got lonely, he would indeed be a hero.

Sun Xin went to the field and took a look at the two people's work, and saw that Tao Zongwang was doing things in a very orderly manner as Li Zhi said. Read more and ask more questions. After working for a day, he has learned well. Moreover, this person is very honest, doesn't talk too much, and does what he wants to do. He is also very clear-headed. He just glanced at it from the sidelines. , but now there is almost no difference in doing work with other skilled workers.

Sun Xin looked at and nodded silently.

Then look at Chen Zhuangtou introduced by Gu Jia, Sun Xin only took a few glances and found that this person has very good people.

Although it looked like he was born in a peasant family, but looking at him doing farm work, he must be a slacker in the fields.

Not only was his movement not very quick, but he also brought a few dealers, one of them was a master who took a step and rested three breaths, and Chen Zhuangtou was still on the field, making a group of dealers under him I ran here and there again, but I didn't do any work for a long time, I was just busy there.

Sun Xin called Li Zhi and Gu Jia, first told Li Zhi that Tao Zongwang was staying, and then said to Gu Jia: "This Master Chen is not good, you go and dismiss it."

Turning his head, Sun Xin announced to everyone: Now he has recruited enough dealers in Sunjiazhuang for the time being, as long as the dealers are there, please recommend some dealers, but it is best to recommend the dealers who have more money in hand. Living can convince the public.

There is no difference between saying this and pointing directly at Gu Jia, Gu Jia is quite embarrassing.

Looking back, Gu Jia sent Chen Zhuangtou away from Shili Pai, and told him on the way that Sun Xin didn't want him.

Gu Jia sighed and couldn't help complaining: "I want you to do better today, but why are you so lazy? This Sun Xin likes people who can do things in his eyes the most. Don't say it's him if you look like this. I can't see it either." past."

Chen Zhuangtou was quite dissatisfied with what he said, and complained: "Brother, you said that you are serving a big manor owner, so I will naturally bring some smart people, but once I arrive at the manor, I don't go to the flower hall or ride a horse. I sent people to work in the fields, and I almost broke my back after doing such a day of farm work."

Cheng Yi, who took Sun Xin's bag from Chen Zhuangtou, squeezed it, and then he agreed with it and said, "Fortunately, Cheng Yi's bag is quite thick, otherwise it would be a waste of time."

Seeing that Chen Zhuangtou withheld half of the share of Cheng Yi first, and distributed the rest to his helpers, and then arranged for everyone to drink, Gu Jia couldn't help but be angry and scolded him: "You don't know that Sun Xinben just likes to pick on me." What’s the matter, you are so unmotivated, but it makes me suffer.”

Chen Zhuangtou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, you still have to blame me. You asked me to come to this Sunjiazhuang and said that it is easy to do things here. If you had known that you were doing this hard work, I would not go."

"Brother, this Sun Family Manor really needs to work hard, how can you still treat this Sun Family Manor well? Is this kind of hard work that I and other men can do? Why don't you go with me and my brother?"

Gu Jia was taken aback by what he said, and then he remembered that he brought a group of farmers down the mountain because he was greedy for Sun Xin's high-yield and improved seeds. Some.

Why is he now like an old farmer, criticizing others for not caring about things?

In a trance, Gu Jia suddenly found out that after working in Sunjiazhuang for a year, his temperament was more and more influenced by Sun Xin. Now it is not good for him to earn two dollars like Chen Zhuangtou and just idle away to spend him. I am willing to give up, and I am not happy at all. Instead, I feel at ease looking at the lush corn seedlings on the field I contracted. I always want to take the farm tools to hoe weeds and fertilize.
