Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

text

Chen Chu was a little surprised at how much these people's attitudes towards him had changed, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood that in ancient times, tenant farmers had no status, their worth was equal to that of livestock, and their masters basically killed them whenever they wanted. without fear of any sanctions.There was basically no one who treated them as tenants with such a pleasant face as Chen Chu, not to mention that Chen Chu personally promised to revoke their status as tenants at this time, how could they not be grateful.

Wanting to understand this, Chen Chu readily accepted the admiring eyes from around.

Chen Chu asked Mr. Deng to take him around the village, which turned his good mood into a bad one.Why?It turns out that the villagers here live in extremely simple and dilapidated houses. Basically, each family’s house has more than one sky, and the houses are low, and many of them have different degrees of inclination, giving people a crumbling feeling. .

Can people live in this kind of house?Chen Chu couldn't help frowning.He was a drug salesman in his previous life, so he was no longer a good person, but he absolutely could not tolerate the suffering of his subordinates. [

"Mr. Deng, do you live in a house like this?"

Deng Gong sighed and said: "My lord, this is already considered very good. No matter how good or bad it is, it is at least a nest, and those refugees would not be able to live in such a house even in their dreams."

Chen Chu thought: It seems that the first thing to do now is to build houses, and he plans to receive refugees, so building houses and expanding the village is a top priority.

"Deng Gong, if you want to build houses for 5000 people, how long will it take you?" Chen Chu asked thoughtfully.

Deng Gong was taken aback, he didn't understand what the lord did.Although he had doubts in his heart, Duke Deng did not dare to neglect the question raised by the lord, and immediately began to make serious calculations.After a while, Deng Gong replied respectfully: "My lord, this old man has roughly calculated that if the whole village works together, it will take about a month."

After thinking for a while, Chen Chu said to Mr. Deng: "Mr. Deng, I will tell you two things. First, allocate half of the labor force in the village to build houses; It's all up to you."

Upon hearing the words, Duke Deng quickly knelt down and said emotionally, "My lord trusts me so much, I will definitely live up to my lord's entrustment."

Then Mr. Deng suddenly remembered something and asked, "My lord, it is not a problem to build houses and expand the village, but it seems that there is something wrong with this land reclamation. Has my lord already obtained the government's approval?"

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why? This land reclamation still needs the approval of the government?"

Deng Gong looked at the lord with some doubts, and thought: This is common sense!How come the lord doesn't even know this!

Seeing Mr. Deng's strange expression, Chen Chu immediately realized that he had made a common-sense mistake again, and quickly covered it up.

"Mr. Deng, just do what I tell you. As for other things, I will take care of them myself."

"Yes. This old man strictly obeys the orders of the lord."

Accompanied by Mr. Deng, Chen Chu went to the end of the village, and a large and high-quality house appeared in front of him.

"What's this for?" Chen Chu asked curiously.

"My lord, this is a warehouse for storing grain. There are still 10,000 catties of grain in it. Originally, [-]+ catties of grain were stored here."

Chen Chu became interested as soon as he heard it, "Oh, let's go in and have a look."

Deng Gong hurriedly asked the young men in the village to open the gate.

Walking into the warehouse, one can see hundreds of dan grains piled up in one corner. Compared with the huge warehouse space, the hundred dan grains are very inconspicuous. [

Chen Chu couldn't help being a little disappointed. He heard that there were ten thousand catties of grain just now, and he thought it would be a huge pile!

"By the way, Deng Gong, you just said that there are 10,000+ catties of grain, so where did the rest of the grain go?"

Deng Gong immediately replied: "It is such a master. It turns out that the master sent people to drive many carts to transport grain here last night, and most of the grain was transported away by them."

Hearing this, Chen Chu suddenly realized, but he didn't feel displeased at all. He only talked about selling the land, not the grain. After all, the grain still belonged to him, and it was not bad if he could keep tens of thousands of catties of grain.

"It seems that your previous master wasn't too bad, and knew to leave some grain for your rations." Chen Chu nodded appreciatively, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty for slaughtering him before.

Unexpectedly, Duke Deng shook his head and said, "My lord, the grain here is not for us scumbags. And the reason why there are [-] catties of grain left here is entirely because the previous owner didn't have enough horses and carts to carry it."

Chen Chu was stunned for a while, and after a long time, it turned out that he was just being sentimental!

Then he remembered something and asked: "Mr. Deng, you said just now that you don't eat the food here, so what do you usually eat? Does each household have rainfall on hand?"

Deng Gong hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "My lord, how can we usually eat this kind of food? It's usually just wild vegetables mixed with chaff." eager.

"What!?" Chen Chu exclaimed in disbelief.

Damn it!Oh shit!This simply does not treat people as human beings!

Duke Deng was startled by the lord's sudden yell. Seeing the gloomy expression on the lord's face, Mr. Deng couldn't help feeling uneasy. He didn't know why the lord was so angry. ! ~!
