Ji Tang

Chapter 346 The Joy of Ji Family Village

75 chapter
Just three days before the wedding, Ji's mother took Ji Song back to Ji's Zhuangzi.

It was not to prepare for a wedding in Zhuangzi, but to worship the ancestors and prepare to tell the ancestors about Ji's great joy. Of course, the most important thing was to tell Ji's father.

Ji Song knew that this was because A Niang missed her father. Since she went to Chang'an, she rarely returned to Zhuangzi because she was afraid of seeing things and missing people.

There are too many memories of them in Zhuangzi, whether they are sweet or bitter!
Ji Song was a little worried. Looking at the sad A Niang, he didn't know how to persuade her.

Originally, according to Ji Song's wish, it would be enough to pay homage to the tomb at Chang'an's house, but this time Aniang was very determined and must return to Zhuangzi.

Helpless, Ji Song could only follow her.

Rhubarb was running back and forth in front of the frame, looking very active, and the big eagle and the two eagles were also soaring in the sky, calling from time to time, indicating that nothing was going on ahead!
The fields on both sides of the road are full of people busy farming. Compared with the Wude years and the early Zhenguan years, the lives of farmers are much better now.

With the use of curved shaft plows, columbuses, and waterwheels, their heavy physical labor and time were greatly reduced, and they also had more time for intensive farming.

This is an inevitable process. Without advanced agricultural tools, farming is a very labor-intensive task. We also have to beware of natural and man-made disasters, so there is no spare time to do more things.

Now, as the imperial court vigorously promotes new agricultural tools and manufactures iron farm tools in large quantities, the efficiency of farming has been greatly improved.

Therefore, now they not only cultivate their own farmland, but also rent the government's land, which is the newly cultivated land of Sinong Temple.

Although there was not much harvest in the past few years, the imperial court has exempted them from taxes for two years, as long as the food grown in these two years is their own.

In order to make a better life, when he had free time, his whole family, men, women, old and young, worked together and lived in the fields most of the time.

It's hard work, but looking at the growing crops, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it.

After turning around the bamboo forest, the front became brighter, and now we had reached the boundary of the fiefdom.

In addition to the [-] acres of land in the feudal land over the years, plus the land that was later reclaimed by oneself, there are now nearly [-] acres of land in Zhuangzi.

These are registered, legal lands.

Ji Song didn't say anything about the increase in land. Compared with the scenes of other aristocratic families that were connected for dozens of miles, he was just making a small fuss.

People say that Hao Jinhou regards wealth as his life and does not know how to buy more land to leave something for future generations.

But he understands that the land is good, but he just disdains it!

He didn't bother to compete with the people for food on the land. As long as the land was enough, if future generations really depended on the land to survive, what would happen if they left more land?
They cannot hold on and can only become fat sheep in the eyes of others.

Ji Shan is inspecting the fields. Since his family has more land, he has to check it every day, otherwise he will not be able to sleep well at night.Although I no longer live on these grains.

Looking at the green crops in front of him, he had never been so satisfied. Thinking about the days he lived when the Ji family was in decline, and then thinking about the days now, it felt like he was dreaming!

Zhuangzi is as beautiful as a dream, just like a house out of a painting, with hundreds of acres of land and its own breeding farm.

Ever since he saw other people starting side businesses, he started to use his brain. If Liu Niang, a weak woman, could buy such a big business, why couldn't he?

Not to mention, he actually found a way to raise pigs and sheep. With his understanding of animal habits since childhood, he really made a name for himself.

Now there are hundreds of pigs and sheep raised in a field behind Zhuangzi. If he couldn't keep them under control, he would have expanded the scale long ago.

When brother Dahu saw his own breeding farm, he didn't know how he came up with the idea to set up a slaughterhouse not far from the breeding farm.

The two of us had a good relationship. You were in charge of breeding and I was in charge of slaughtering. We hit it off and started a business together!
In this way, both families have an annual income of five to six hundred yuan, which can be considered a small fortune.After checking his crops, he was about to go back, but what did he seem to see?
I rubbed my eyes in disbelief, worried that I had seen it wrong!

However, when he saw the big dog running in front of a team and the heroic young man riding a horse in front, he immediately became excited.

"Brother Song?"

After confirming that he had read correctly, he shouted excitedly and shouted to the clan members who were still working in the fields: "Brother Song is back, the clan leader is back."

As he spoke, he ran towards the direction of the carriage!

The others were stunned when they heard Ji Shan's call, but when they saw the young man and the dog on the path, they could no longer suppress their cheers.

Soon, news spread that their current patriarch, Song Geer, had returned home.

Ignoring the farm work on hand, I wiped my dirty hands on my body and ran towards the road, for fear of being a step late.

Ji Song also saw the appearance of the clan members. He suddenly smiled and felt that the grievances he suffered outside suddenly didn't matter anymore.

With such a group of tribesmen, what does his grievance mean?
After getting off the horse, Ji's mother in the carriage also came out.

It's not like she couldn't hear the loud noise outside.

Both mother and son stopped and waited. When a crowd of people surrounded them, they couldn't help but shouted: "I'm back!"

"Brother Song, we miss you so much. We haven't been home for so long. Do we think you have forgotten us?" Someone complained.

But before Ji Song could say anything, someone said angrily: "Second daughter-in-law? You are wrong. Don't you know what Brother Song is doing to us tribesmen? How can you say such hurtful words?"

The others also glared at the third daughter-in-law and said that she was wrong.

"Okay, I understand your thoughts, and I also understand who the second aunt is, so don't talk about her." Seeing this, Ji Song could only speak out.

He didn't want to make such a fuss on the first day back to Zhuangzi.

In fact, no one has any bad intentions, it’s just that the expressions are different!

Next, a group of them supported Ji Song and his son back to Zhuangzi.

Perhaps it was the third uncle who had been notified by the clan members, and he was waiting in front of the archway!

Ji Song was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support his third uncle and complained: "You are always like this. If you don't stay at home, you still run out to pick up a junior like me. What are you thinking?"

The third uncle didn't care about this. He held Ji Song's hand tremblingly and held it tightly with his withered hands, as if he would run away if he let go.

"My niece-in-law has met my third uncle. I wish you a long life and good health!" Mother Ji stepped forward and paid her respects.

"Hey, you kid is one of our own family, what are you doing!" The third uncle quickly stopped him.

"I have seen all your hard work over the years. You owe a lot to me, Ji, for being where I am today. I will never dare to do this in the future!"

After saying this, the third uncle became more and more happy as he thought about it. He pulled Ji Song and walked into the Zhuangzi.
