Straight man of steel

Chapter 101 Life must have a sense of ritual

"If we can have extra food in the future, we can share some with these poor people from time to time."

In the end, Zhang Yuan's exclamation to Lao Zhao could only be an exclamation.

Liu Che was still worried about him. When he and Lao Zhao Erdan arrived at Fengtian on the outskirts of Lantian County, a Shaofu Cheng subordinate to the Shaofu was already waiting, and Zhuo Wenjun and his party were even in Lantian last night Those staying overnight in the county.

It wasn't until they saw Zhang Yuan that they came to Fengtian together.

"I am the Shaofu Cheng under the command of Shanglinyuan. I am here to hand over this wasteland to the fifth doctor."

The emperor forcibly confiscated the fields cultivated by the people for hunting. Although they were purchased for a fee, it was not good for his reputation after all, so this fertile land became wasteland.

Anyway, it is the land of the emperor's house. People say that this is wasteland, it is wasteland, and it is the field that is used for farming.

Zhang Yuan took the document from Liu Che from Zhuo Wenjun, handed it to the Young Mansion Cheng, and handed it back to Zhang Yuan after he inspected it.

"Some things, I have to make it clear to the fifth doctor today that this royal garden in Shanglinyuan can only allow the children of the royal family and the officials of the Qimen army of the palace guards to enter it. However, its essence is still royal land. His Majesty said that only what he wants can be planted on this land, so the five doctors can't regard the [-] mu of land as their own backyard.

Every other month, I will come to check on it. "

Obviously, the emperor didn't care what Zhang Yuan and his family ate on weekdays. Fortunately, the millet on the [-]-acre land had matured, so there was no need to worry about food for the family in the past few years. Meat and vegetables could also be purchased in Lantian County. , Hungry is definitely not starved to death.

"Excuse me, Shangguan, can I sell the income from these three thousand acres of land on my own?"

Liu Che also answered on this aspect, and did not give Zhang Yuan the opportunity to exploit loopholes.

"I can keep half of the watermelon for you. You can't sell it, but you can give it away. As for the rest, I will transport them all back to the palace. You will not lose the money.

As for beets, His Majesty says the same is true when they are made into sugar. "

Now that the war has not yet started, Liu Che, the emperor, enjoys the wealth left over from the Wen and Jing dynasties, and he still has enough confidence. At this time, Zhang Yuan will certainly not be missing.

"I can rest assured that."

Although there are only twelve middle-aged men and Zhang Yuan under his command, and the rest are women and children, the manpower is not enough to deal with the [-] mu of land, but fortunately Wang Sui said that Liu Che will not set restrictions on his manpower , This has opened the door to Zhang Yuanda's convenience.

You must know that although the five doctors are high-ranking nobles, the only privilege is that the whole family can be exempted from corvee, but the tax for farming for the royal family is also saved.

After explaining all this, the Shaofu Cheng left. Shanglin Garden is very big and he has a lot of things to manage. After all, there are many savages still on this land boundary. The emperor didn't like these people appearing in front of him when he was hunting. , whenever one appears, it tells him how many sins he has committed.

"Wenjun, did you visit the county magistrate when you arrived in Lantian yesterday?"

There is a small village in Fengtian. The people in the village either fled to the mountains or were moved to the east of Lantian County by Liu Che.

"I visited and told him what you said. The county magistrate was also worried that he couldn't resettle those people. He said that if His Majesty said these things, he could move back all the previous people in this village, but they had to be moved to In your name, he is afraid that he will be involved in trouble in the future."

The biggest disadvantage of doing nothing is that the officials at the bottom do not want to make meritorious deeds and do not want to make mistakes. Although the people who helped Zhang Yuan relocate to a village may not seem to have made mistakes now, they definitely cannot be counted as meritorious deeds.

"That's good, it saves you the trouble of taxation and corvee. You can go there tomorrow and promise those villagers that as long as they move back to help me farm, although they are tenant farmers, they won't be any different from before. There will be no shortage of food rations for them."

This kind of self-paying to make up for other people's affairs is especially stupid in Zhuo Wenjun's view. Zhuo's businessman style has penetrated into her bones.

"Isn't it more convenient for us to buy some servants and maidservants?"

There are already more than ten slaves with monthly salary in the family. If there are more slaves, Zhuo Wenjun will feel very painful.

“I don’t need your money, what I earned in Yanglingyi belongs to you, I won’t touch it.

Just do it like this, and I will definitely become richer and richer in the future. "

Looking at Zhang Yuan who only had [-] mu of land in front of him, Zhuo Wenjun felt that it was all useless to worry about him just now.

So much furniture that was moved from Yanglingyi had no use in this village. It was exciting to hear that the three thousand acres of land and the title of fifth doctor were granted, but it was only when we got here that we realized what the situation was.

"This village has to be demolished and built into what I like.

Old Zhao, bring Xiong Da and the others to harvest all the corn in the field tomorrow, and the tassels are almost overwhelming the field.

Xiaoqing, can you make up fences?It is something that is cross-woven with branches or bamboo strips.

That's right, it's this thing. Weave more of it, then cover it all with yellow mud. After it dries, bake it over a fire. After another winter, it will become a hard wall. "

From the moment he entered the village, Zhang Yuan became a chatterbox. He had too many ideas about building a manor in his heart.

The first is the wall. From ancient times to modern times, Chinese people have never changed the idea that their home should be inside the wall. The wall can give people a sense of security and can also separate the disturbances of the outside world.

In a few words, Zhang Yuan decided that the woman would start weaving the fence tomorrow, and the man would go down to the field to harvest corn.

The people under Zhang Yuan, including Zhang Yuan, can be said to have made their fortunes from iron tools. Naturally, there are many tools ranging from plowing the fields to eating.

"My lord, I took down this plaque before I left. Do you think you should put it there first, or find an enemy to hang it?"

Lao Zhao pulled out the original plaque of the Zhang Mansion from a wooden cart. This plaque was given to him by Li Jian when he bought the Li family's house in Chengdu. Lao Zhao took this plaque from Chengdu to Yangling , and now we are at Shanglin Garden.

"Isn't there a gate built with wooden pillars at the entrance of the village? Let Xiong Er find a ladder to hang it up."

It is said to be a gate, but it actually has only three pieces of wood, with an empty middle. The gate of the village will definitely not have two thick wooden doors like the city, but Zhang Mansion will definitely have it in the future.

Looking at the slightly crooked plaque hanging in mid-air, Zhang Yuan grinned, life must have a sense of ritual.
