Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

It’s not your own farm, you’re just a dog helping to look after the farm!

Manager Zheng looked at Manager Yu and others outside the door with an extremely arrogant and rude attitude, not taking them seriously at all.

When the guard came to report in a hurry just now, he thought Manager Yu had brought some important buyer.

It turns out they are just a few greenhorns!

Manager Yu is really something. He actually plays tricks with a bunch of kids.

There was a flash of contempt in his eyes, and he greeted insincerely: "Manager Yu, sorry to have kept you waiting. I'm really busy with affairs in this farm and can't leave!"

Gu Yan looked at the manager of the farm, who was big and strong, with the flesh on his face trembling while he spoke and his eyes seemed to be on top of his head. He instinctively disliked him.

With such a manager, how good can the management of this village be?

After entering the villa, Manager Zheng asked someone to call the leader of the servants and said, "Everyone, Xu Da knows the situation of this villa. If you want to know anything, just ask him. I am busy with some matters, so I will not accompany you anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left without even saying goodbye.

Gu Yan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Just like that...

Manager Yu was almost laughing out of anger. Did Manager Zheng really think that Chuyun Villa was something very popular?

He swore that if he failed this time, he would never come to this village again.

It's really a dog's eyes that look down upon others.

You are just a guard dog of your master's house, why are you showing off?

Gu Yan naturally had no idea what Manager Yu was thinking at the moment.

His attention was drawn to the dark and thin man in front of him.

The man was tanned by the sun and looked to be around 40 or 50 years old, but he gave people a sense of decadence.

Although he was in his prime, his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his passion and hope for life.

Gu Yan felt the atmosphere of an old man in his twilight years from him. That kind of numb expression made people feel depressed.

This man's mental state is completely different from those energetic villagers in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. It seems that his soul has died and only an empty shell is left living like a zombie.

The atmosphere of despair and helplessness permeates the air, which makes people feel pity.

After Manager Yu vented his anger in his heart, he turned his gaze to the man named Xu Da.

He was not unfamiliar with this person, because when he came here before, the man named Zheng had also asked him to come with him.

But this time was different from the past. The man surnamed Zheng actually just left the person behind and left first.

Perhaps it was because he knew that he was about to leave here with his master, so he became even more unscrupulous and arrogant.

"Your name is Xu Da?" asked Manager Yu.

"Yes, sir." Xu Da replied respectfully.

Manager Yu said,

"These gentlemen and ladies are here to check out the situation at the villa. Please take us around the villa and introduce the current situation."

Xu Da suddenly looked up at the people in front of him, and a trace of fluctuation suddenly flashed in his numb eyes, but after seeing the people clearly, the fluctuation disappeared again.

These people are really too young. He doesn't think they can buy the villa in their current situation. Even if they want to buy it, the adults in their families will never allow them to do such a thing.

Gu Yan did not miss the slight fluctuation in Xu Da's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: It turns out that this guy is not completely a wooden man!

After Xu Da led everyone around, Gu Qingzhi finally understood the complicated feelings that Manager Yu had when he talked about the 249 slaves.

Because there are not only young and middle-aged people here, but also the elderly, the weak, women and children.

Those people seemed to have one thing in common: no matter they were old, adults or children, their eyes were numb, as if nothing could touch them.

They looked very thin, as if they would fall down if the wind blew.

Even the middle-aged and adult people only account for one-fifth of the people here, which means that only one-fifth of them can be sold at a high price, but what about the others?

And she also realized that these people basically came as family units.

In other words, they were sold from birth and the whole family became slaves.

It was the first time that Gu Qingzhi came into contact with so many slaves, and they were all family units. This made her feel shocked and uncomfortable.

If these people were sold on the market, a family would likely fall apart.

Because those of the elderly, the weak, women and children may not be able to be sold at all.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad and helpless.

But she knew that this was the way the world was now.

Gu Qingzhi felt very uncomfortable, so she avoided them and focused on the situation in the villa.

After a round of inspection, it was just as Manager Yu had said, there were few good fields in the village, and most of the fields were inferior fields, and many of the inferior fields were reclaimed on the hillsides.

No wonder Manager Yu sighed repeatedly on the way here.

It is not easy to make a move in such a barren mountain villa.

No wonder the Zheng family wants to sell the villa in its entirety.

If it is sold individually, I don’t know when it will take to sell.

She also saw a group of people reclaiming wasteland at the foot of the hillside. Xu Da saw Gu Qingzhi looking at the slaves who were reclaiming the wasteland. His numb eyes moved and he explained in a low voice:

"Every year after the harvest, the owner asks us to reclaim the wasteland and plant crops next year."

Gu Yan's mind moved, and he asked, "How is the harvest of the wasteland?"

Xu Da shook his head and said, "The yield is extremely low. The annual output is less than one-tenth of the second-rate farm."

Gu Yan understood a little bit. When he was studying with his mentor, he once went to a village where the villagers also reclaimed wasteland, but because the soil was not fertile enough, the food they grew was not enough to eat.

He had heard from experienced farmers that newly reclaimed wasteland would produce basically no output in the first three years.

If you want to produce like a normal field, you have to wait at least three to five years.

And these first few years will require careful maintenance to turn the wasteland into second-rate farmland.

However, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that these slaves do not know how to maintain the land.

The manager of the village was not dedicated and only knew how to drive the slaves to reclaim the wasteland.

He turned his head and looked at the forest behind him, and asked Manager Yu: "Does this mountain behind also belong to the villa?"

Manager Yu nodded slightly in affirmation.

Gu Yan immediately became interested and asked, "What's on the mountain?"

Manager Yu looked at Xu Da, who shook his head, indicating that he was not quite sure either.

However, he did say, "During the free time in winter, Manager Zheng would organize the people in the manor to go hunting in the mountains."
