Ming politicians

Su Pingyang was going to visit the suburbs in advance to say hello. The young master had never been to the tenant's house. If something happened to him, it would be hard to say. Unfortunately, before he had time to arrange it, the young master specifically said that he would go to the tenant's house. When you go to see it at home, don't disturb everyone.

Before crossing, Su Tiancheng was familiar with many procedures, such as going down to inspect the work, etc. If he had made preparations in advance, the situation he saw must be good, and that would be meaningless.

The situation is different now. These tenants are all farming for the Su family. If they can't see the real situation and deceive themselves, there may be huge troubles in the future.

Early in the morning, Su Tiancheng went out, followed by Su Pingyang and Su Ertong.

There are ten fine horses in the Su residence, these are the ones that were not taken away, they were reserved for Su Tiancheng's training in name, after all they are the children of a rich family, if there are no horses in the residence, it would be a shameful thing to say.

Of course, there are two carriages in the mansion, Su Tiancheng can take the carriage, but he refused.

It is a pity that among the ten horses left in the mansion, except for one Mongolian horse, the rest are southwestern horses, which are good for driving carriages and transportation, but they look small when they are ridden.

At the end of October, it is already winter weather.

Half an hour later, Su Tiancheng and his party came to the suburbs.

He finally saw his fertile land.

The [-] hectares of fertile land are all connected together. Su Pingyang has already introduced the situation in detail. The master has already dealt with the unconnected land. The remaining land is considered good on the whole.

The land of [-] hectares is a total of [-] mu, which is the area of ​​[-] Beijing workers' stadiums.

The terrain around Pingyang City is dominated by hills, followed by Pingchuan. There are not many mountains and rivers, and they are not the kind of mountains that people understand. The fields of the Su family are basically Pingchuan. This is the first time I have seen this large piece of land. Su Tiancheng thought of a word: Yimapingchuan.

In his imagination, the tenants of the Su family should at least live together, that is to say, the houses are at least contiguous. Unfortunately, he did not see such a situation. There are many adobe houses around the field, low , Shabby, the roofs of these adobe houses are completely covered with thatch and straw.

Su Tiancheng's complexion has changed. People often talk about evil landlords. Most of the time, it is because of the need for propaganda, but what I have seen has already shown that the Su family is very mean to tenants. The tenants have been with the Su family not for a day or two, almost for more than ten years. They have planted land for the Su family for so many years, and they cannot afford to live in a decent house.At this moment, he thought of the eldest wife again. Su Pingyang had already said that the management of the tenants was all in charge of the eldest wife.

Riding to a small forest, Su Tiancheng dismounted, walked to a small tree, and tied the reins.

"Master, you don't ride a horse anymore. It's not a short distance to walk from here."

"Uncle, let's walk over to see, don't ride a horse anymore, Er Tong, you wait here and watch the horses."

"Master, you and your father should ride over there on horseback."

Su Tiancheng shook his head, and walked slowly towards the nearest house. Seeing this situation, Su Pingyang whispered a few words to Su Ertong.

Before Chen Shi, the autumn harvest season had passed for a long time, and the fields were bare and nothing could be seen.

Su Tiancheng was a little strange, it was said that winter wheat was going to be sown, why there was nothing in the field.

Walking to the side of the field, Su Tiancheng squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil with his hands. The soil was so dry that it was almost impossible to knead it into a ball. When the breeze blew, he could actually see the dust.

Su Tiancheng's brows were tightly frowned. It seems that this land is very short of water. On such land, it is unlikely that there will be a big harvest.After standing up, Su Tiancheng looked around the field carefully. He didn't find any ditches, let alone water diversion ditches for irrigation.

"Uncle, why are there no water diversion ditches around this large field?"

"Young master, the harvest on the land is not good, where did you get the money to build the ditches?"

"Uncle, don't fool me. If you say that the harvest is not good, it means that it happened in recent years. Could it be that the previous harvest was also not good? According to the talk, there are indeed no ditches for such a large piece of land."

Su Pingyang pays great attention to the young master's words and deeds, because the young master has changed too much, he needs to pay special attention, originally thought that the young master came here on a whim, went to the suburbs to have a look, and would go back soon, but it was just a quick look Hua, but the young master's series of actions surprised him. He was able to squat down, pinch the field, and judge the lack of water in the field. This is not easy. People who are not familiar with farm work cannot do such actions. of.

The key is that the young master has never planted the land for a day.

"Uncle, tell the truth, do you know about rent collection at home, and don't ask about other things."

Su Pingyang nodded, such a matter, how can he talk about it, it is a matter for the master and madam to decide.

Su Tiancheng stopped talking and walked straight towards a house.

The door of the house was ajar. To be precise, it could not be regarded as a door of a house, but two door panels, and they were not so tightly fitted. When Su Tiancheng knocked on the door, the door hinge made a creaking sound.

"Anyone at home?"

There was a rustling sound, and after a while, a man came to open the door.

The man was very surprised when he saw Su Tiancheng, without him, Su Tiancheng was wearing a brocade robe, with a fair face and a good temperament, his status must be unusual.

Su Tiancheng was still astonished. This man couldn't tell how old he was, with dry hair and a dark face, he looked like he had been farming for a long time.

Dry hair, obviously malnutrition.

The man's body was covered with a cotton jacket, and the several large patches on the jacket looked particularly glaring. The man was wearing a coarse cloth front and shirtless, obviously he hadn't gotten up yet.

"You, who are you looking for?"

"This is the young master of the Su Mansion. He came here specially today to take a look."

The man seemed terrified, but the careful Su Tiancheng still noticed that there was resentment in the man's eyes.

"Old, master, my family's rent is really not paid in full, and the family is almost out of food."

"I'm not here to collect rent, I'm here to see your house."

The man was very surprised. The young master of the Su family came to see his house, what does this mean.

"Master, wait a moment, the family has not woken up yet, so don't be angry."

It is said that farmers are very hardworking. Even if there is no more farm work, they will not sleep until this time. Besides, there are no entertainment activities nowadays. I went to bed after seven o'clock, and by eight o'clock the next morning, I hadn't gotten up yet, and I had slept long enough.

Besides, it should be the busy season of farming now.

Perhaps seeing the young master's doubts, Su Pingyang behind him spoke.

"Young master, all the tenants are like this. They don't get up until after Si time. Actually, they don't want to sleep, so they can save food as much as possible."

Su Tiancheng felt distressed. He used sleep to save food. It's not that he had never heard of it, but he had never seen it before. Now he finally saw it, and it was his own tenant.

The man finally opened the door. A little girl pulled the man's skirt with her finger in her mouth. When she saw Su Tiancheng, her eyes were also filled with horror. The woman following the man had a swollen face.

"Kneel down quickly, the master is here to see our family."

Seeing the skinny little girl, Su Tiancheng finally couldn't hold back his own anger. His own aunt was simply asking for money, not for her life. The tenants were like this, and what he thought of was the tenants handing over the food. When the time came, the tenants would wake up. Only when she rebelled did she know how powerful she was.

But this kind of anger can only be endured, and he can't lose his temper in front of the tenants.

Su Tiancheng took a step forward and grabbed the little girl.

"Don't kneel, I just came to see."

Because of anger in his heart, Su Tiancheng's tone of voice was a bit wrong, the man was at a loss, looked at Su Tiancheng, the woman lowered her head, as for the little girl, she was pulled by Su Tiancheng and dared not move.
