I've been reborn, who would still raise a son from another family? Go away
Chapter 295 Whimsical
It was already mid-August. Kyoto had been very quiet in recent days. The spies from the northern border had learned to lie low, and even with so many troops dispatched, no trace of them had been found.
Some of the people who listened to the advice have already started to collect grain.
Just looking at the grain harvested from the fields, which was reduced by one third, I couldn't help but complain with some pain.
"I don't know what we are doing by letting the people harvest the grain so early. We can be exempted from taxes this year and let the grain grow naturally before harvesting. Wouldn't this increase our people's income?"
"The people in power are all well-dressed and well-fed, so how could they know that the lives of ordinary people like us are hard?"
"Who says it's not true? Look at these wheats. None of them have grown fully yet. It's obvious that there's not enough time. Otherwise, we can wait until the end to collect the tax-free coupons. This way, the crops will grow better and we can collect the tax-free coupons."
Zhang Liang looked at Old Chen who was encouraging them to wait until later to harvest the grain and said, "It's only a matter of two or three days. The grain won't grow any more if we wait a few more days. If we wait until the last day to harvest, the landlords will think the same way. Then the farmers who have to help the landlords will delay their own grain harvest. If they haven't harvested all the land by then, they won't be able to get the tax exemption coupons, and their losses will be huge."
Old Chen thought that his family would not collect grain from the landlords anyway, so if it really didn't work out, he would take a small amount of the collected grain and go directly to get the tax-free tickets. He would secretly put the rest of the grain aside and wait until September to collect it.
This old man Chen likes to be sneaky and cunning on weekdays. How could Zhang Liang not see what he was thinking? He just didn't want those innocent farmers to be implicated by him, so he tried to stop him.
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, the farmers thought they made sense, so they harvested the grain and went to collect the tax-free coupons. In the final analysis, they were the ones who made the profit.
"I only told you my idea because I want everyone to make more money." Old Chen said somewhat unconvinced.
at this time.
Liu Yueru's carriage stopped in the field.
A group of people followed and looked over.
A woman in a plain and gorgeous dress got off the carriage with the help of a maid.
There are many casual people.
Following closely behind were Hua Ge'er and Yan Ge'er.
In order to set a better example, Liu Yueru brought a group of people to the fields. There were a lot of sweet potatoes and peanuts planted in the land of Xicheng. If they were to be harvested manually, it would probably take two days.
The team behind the carriage was huge, including ten official slaves. Uncle Fu brought more than twenty people from other places. Together with the maids and old women around Liu Yueru, the whole team looked very spectacular.
It attracted many people to stop and watch.
Some well-informed maids whispered to the people around them, "Isn't that the daughter of the emperor Liu who was divorced by the emperor's personal decree some time ago?"
A few people showed a look of surprise on their faces and continued to inquire curiously: "They are divorced, and they seem to be living a good life. Look, what a grand ceremony."
Those women looked at Liu Yueru with envy.
"That's not true. After the divorce, the emperor gave her three shops as a reward. I heard that they were all doing well. Besides, Madam Liu's dowry was not small at that time. She had shops, land, and a lot of money."
The woman pointed to a large piece of land nearby and said, "Those were originally Mr. Cai's 130 acres of land. I heard that Madam Liu bought all of them at once. The other 50 acres were also rented by Madam Liu."
"Where did she get so much money? Didn't I hear that when she was in the Marquis' Mansion, a lot of her dowry was used to subsidize the family expenses?"
"Money can be earned if it is spent. When she left Liu's house, she brought with her good farmland and a shop that did well. Have you seen the old steward beside her?"
"See, what does this have to do with him?"
The old woman smiled mysteriously, "Who in the business circle doesn't know about Uncle Fu? When his family was not in decline, he was a family of merchants, and he was an expert in business and management. And such a manager followed Madam Liu wholeheartedly. I don't know how much of her money has been taken away by Uncle Fu."
"Wouldn't it mean that whoever marries her would be able to reach the top in one step?" another old woman said with a smile.
The conversation between the two was heard by Old Chen at the side. His eyes lit up. His son was now 28 years old and looked quite good, but he was idle and stayed at home all day either eating or sleeping. No girl was interested in him.
Old Chen took a look at the land and knew that there must be a lot of people who needed help.
Something suddenly occurred to him.
He pressed the sickle in his hand into Zhang Liang's hand and said, "Hold it for me. I'll be back soon."
Zhang Liang reached out and grabbed him, and said to him with a bad look on his face: "Don't mess around, those people are not someone you can mess with."
Old Chen didn't take it seriously. He thought she was just an abandoned woman. If someone was willing to marry her, he would probably agree without hesitation.
Thinking of this, the smile on Old Chen's face deepened.
He shook off Zhang Liang's hand and ran towards home without looking back.
Looking at Old Chen's delusional back, Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he looked back in the direction of Liu Yueru, feeling a little worried.
there.
Liu Yueru, who was busy, had no idea what those people were thinking.
She gently warned the two little guys, "Wear your hats, and don't leave the sight of Sister Lixia and Brother Jingzhe. You can only play in the fields near the village."
"I understand, mother." Yan Ge'er agreed happily.
When Hua Ge'er heard that Yan Ge'er could openly call Liu Yueru "mother" in public, his little mouth pouted in displeasure.
Soon he leaned close to Liu Yueru's ear and whispered, "Mother."
A sweet smile appeared on her face: "Aunt, Hua Ge'er also knows."
Uncle Fu took the servants' tools to dig sweet potatoes and peanuts and went to the fields.
He also directed the servants to divide the work. One team was digging in the front, and the strong ones followed closely behind to pick up sweet potatoes. When the farm was full, they carried them back to the farm. There was another team that was specifically used to transport sweet potatoes to other farms. They had three horse-drawn carriages, each with an official slave, a woman, and two servants.
Uncle Fu specially left two people behind to make tea, and three maids to deliver tea to the fields continuously.
There were so many people, so Liu Yueru asked someone to invite a few cooks back from outside.
Liu Yueru sat under the shade of a tree outside the manor, watching quietly as everything proceeded in an orderly manner.
The two little guys were happily playing in the fields, helping to pick sweet potatoes from time to time. They also held small shovels in their hands and tried to help dig the sweet potatoes.
Yan Ge'er has a bad spleen and stomach. Liu Yueru heard from the miracle doctor that the spleen belongs to the earth element. If she wants to improve her spleen, the easiest way is to play with the earth and nourish the spleen.
When Liu Yueru was stunned, two figures suddenly appeared around her.
