Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Li Changle pointed at the row of houses and told Wang Dahu about the move-in arrangements.

The structure of the house was still solid and better than the Li family courtyard where she lived.

The gate to the yard is on one side of the wall, and outside the yard is a large open space.

On the other side of the wall are three utility rooms where farm tools and the like are stored.

The main house is a large building consisting of three rooms placed side by side.

The middle room is a small living room and there are four side rooms on both sides.

The two rooms on the left and right are smaller, with some furniture inside and two side rooms each.

It seems that more than one family lived in this yard before.

The kitchen, woodshed and courtyard gate are on one side.

The two rows of houses at the back are warehouses.

The Wang Dahu brothers followed a few people around and decided to take on the job.

At this time, Li Changle suggested that their whole family move in, and the two did not object.

"Xiaozhou Village is close to Lushui Village, so we can come here if anything happens. It doesn't matter if the moving process is delayed for a few days, but you brothers have to come here and start working from tomorrow."

Wang Dahu and the other man looked at each other, "I wonder what kind of work we are going to do?"

Li Changle asked them to come early tomorrow and then they would know.

After that, she said goodbye to Zhou Wanli and continued along the road to the county town. She also promised him that after the spring, part of the land would be rented to the villagers of Xiaozhou Village for planting. She hoped that the village chief could give her an inspection at that time.

Zhou Wanli thanked them profusely and sent them out of Xiaozhou Village.

When rushing to the outskirts of Li County, she asked Gu Jingyan who would be in charge of the 60-acre farm.

Gu Jingyan pondered for a moment, "There was a manager named Sun in my mother's dowry. His two sons are now working in my mother's dowry farm in the suburbs of Beijing. Why don't you send a letter to the capital and ask his eldest son's family or the second son's family to come and manage the farm for you?"

Li Changle was a little embarrassed, "Your mother's dowry farm? It must be very big, right? Wouldn't it be unfair to send them to this place in Shankala?"

Gu Jingyan said calmly: "They were originally servants of the family. They have never been wronged, and the master has never treated them unfairly."

Li Changle nodded and said, "Life on the farm may be more comfortable than that of many farmers." Except for the defect in their identity.

However, in the ancient social context, the existence of servants and slaves in wealthy families was a common phenomenon.

"Just rest assured that you can use her. If anything goes wrong, don't consider my feelings. Just deal with her accordingly." Gu Jingyan knew that before she got married, she did everything at home by herself, and she also helped to manage most of Li's father's schools.

Li Changle: "You let someone take care of your mother's dowry farm, so why should I be worried?"

What's wrong with that? Can't you just find an excuse to send him back to Kyoto? Why kill him?

Gu Jingyan touched her soft hair and said softly, "My master is going to Beiding to take up his post. His return date is uncertain, so I have to make arrangements for you so that I can feel at ease."

"I have left Leng Yi and Leng Er here to follow you three. If you want to tell me anything, just write a letter and give it to them."

Hearing this, Li Changle was really surprised.

Last time she wanted to borrow two secret guards from him to farm, he was mad at her.

Now he was very generous, giving two for one and turning darkness into light.

Have you asked the warriors?

"Isn't that a waste of talent? The only work I do here is to plant crops and harvest vegetables."

“They can grow it, too.”

If he wasn't afraid of making her think too much, he would have wanted to transfer Leng San and Leng Si to Lushui Village as well.

As they were talking, they arrived at a village on the outskirts of Li County.

This village is very big.

About 60 acres of land.

Gu Jingyan told her that this was the farm of a wealthy family named Fan in Li County. The head of the family had a son who was an official in Kyoto, and his wife's family was a wealthy businessman.

It was thanks to County Magistrate Li that this farm finally found a buyer.

Li Huaitong also wanted to return the favor and give something back for the bandit suppression.

Perhaps hearing the sound of a carriage, the red-painted door was opened from the inside.

An old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties leaned out and looked at the four people.

"Are you guys here to see Zhuangzi?"

Li Changle lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Yes, old man."

The old man hurriedly opened both doors and came out.

"The old man is the gatekeeper of this manor. Yesterday, the owner sent someone to say that the manor has changed hands, and someone may come to take over today or tomorrow.

Everyone, please hurry into the manor."

The layout of the village is roughly the same as that of Xiaozhou Village, except that the gate is a bit far from the main courtyard built by the owner, and there are other people living in the village.

Wang Dahu drove the carriage into the farm and all the way to the main courtyard.

On the road, you could see a few people looking at the carriage curiously.

The old man was probably the manor's gatekeeper, and the house he lived in was built along the wall surrounding the gate.

He followed the carriage with a little boy of six or seven years old.

Halfway through the walk, three men came over: a man in his early forties or fifties, and two younger men.

When the doorman saw him, he immediately explained the situation, "… the new owner of the manor. The head of the manor should take him to the master's house to entertain him. There is no place for us to have a good conversation outside."

The people who came were a father and his two sons. They were respectful and led the carriage to the house in the farm.

Li Changle got off the carriage and looked at the large house in front of him. He covered his mouth, afraid that his saliva would flow out accidentally...

" ..."

Think about the Li family courtyard where I live...

What I see in front of me is a beautiful big house with blue bricks and gray tiles. It is estimated to be several hundred square meters and it is so close to the county.

Go inside and walk around the screen wall, and the wide front yard is right in front of you.

The two-entry courtyard-style building is very classical and grand. The father and son led a few people to the main hall.

The village head who was in the lead was very conscious. Before Gu Jingyan and the other two could say anything, he handed over two large bunches of keys.

"Gentlemen, this key is for all the rooms in this house, and the other key is for the utility room and the grain warehouse."

Li Changle looked at the father and his two sons with admiration, "Your indentures are in my hands now. From today on, you have changed your master and will have to work for me. I just want to ask, do you have any thoughts of leaving Zhuangzi?

If you have any, please bring them up. I won’t force you to stay.”

Liu Tiechui was stunned by Li Changle's question, and his eyes gradually revealed a confused look, "There is no other place to go after leaving Zhuangzi..."

Li Changle had an idea in mind.

She handed the key to the utility room and granary back to him and said, "A new manager will come to the manor in a few days, but you will keep these keys for the time being. When the new manager comes, I will give him the key to the warehouse, and you can keep the key to the utility room.

How can he manage such a big farm by himself? "

Liu Tiechui and his two sons behind him breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Li Changle said.

All he has learned in his entire life is to tend the fields. If he is sold or driven out of the farm, he will be left with nowhere to go.

Li Changle then asked who else lived in the village.

Liu Tiechui told her that there were more than a dozen families living there, all of whom were bought by the owner and put on the farm to work.

In the past two years, crops could not be grown, and the owners had already sold many of their crops and families.
