The poor man grows watermelon

The next day, Su Ye and Yu Feng went to the county.

With a carriage, it is much more convenient. It took more than an hour to walk, but it took half an hour to arrive in a carriage.

As usual, food stalls were set up at the gate of the yamen, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Many people followed Yu Feng's previous example and brought a small red clay stove, some with burning charcoal underneath, and some with chopped firewood.

When the men first saw Yu Feng, they were very embarrassed.

Brother Noodle Soup rubbed his hands and explained to everyone, "I originally wanted to talk to you. Someone went to your village a few days ago and heard from the aunts in the village that you went to the county mansion. Let's do this first." It's used... If you don't like it, we'll remove it!"

Yu Feng patted him on the shoulder, and said with a pen, "Don't, the stove doesn't belong to my family, everyone can use it, how is business doing recently?"

The noodle soup boy laughed when he heard it, "Don't say it, since the stove was used, there are obviously a lot more people who come out to buy food than before. Although it needs some firewood money, compared with the food sold It's nothing!"

A hearty smile appeared on Yu Feng's face, "That will work!"

With the noodle soup guy at the beginning, a few more men came up to talk and expressed their gratitude.

With a smile on his face all the time, Yu Feng handled it with ease, and won the favor of everyone with just a few words.

The men said one after another: "When you come to the county in the future, the food at our stall is full, and so is your husband!"

Yu Feng didn't explain, but responded straightforwardly: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk, after a few days I'm free, I'll come over and make friends with everyone!"

"That's good!" The men were not at all unhappy about being robbed of their business, but expressed their welcome one after another.

After the two entered the Yamen, Su Ye asked, "Are you really planning to continue selling cakes?"

Yu Feng nodded, "There is still a month before the Chinese New Year. When I turn around, I gather the radishes and spicy cabbage heads from the field, and I'll come over—the mushrooms I picked last time were useless, and they can just last for a while."

Su Ye nodded, "Alright, just...don't work too hard."

Yu Feng said "no hard work", but he was happy in his heart—Xiao Yezi was caring about me!

While talking, the Department of Animal Husbandry arrived.

Boss Yu had been waiting for Su Ye all these days, and when he saw him now, he invited him to the tea room with great enthusiasm.

Neither of them was accustomed to politeness. After sitting down, Su Ye picked up the pen and ink, and wrote down the calf's illness and the prescription for healing while talking.

After thinking about it, he basically recalled several similar diseases and treatment methods, and added very seriously: "I have only heard about these a little bit, and I have not tried it myself. It is only for adults' reference."

Mr. Yu, however, was like a treasure, and said: "Once the cattle get sick, they are mostly carried on their shoulders. There are few cures. My brother can cure this 'paratyphoid fever', which is already very remarkable. You know, This ox is the life of our farmers!"

Boss Yu went to the excited place, regardless of his identity, suddenly got up and gave Su Ye a deep bow.

Su Ye hurriedly bowed down, and his emotions could not help but be affected, "It is a blessing for the people of Wannian County to have you in the Department of Animal Husbandry."

Mr. Yu waved his hand, and pulled Su Ye to ask many questions, asking someone to write them down as he asked them.It wasn't until noon that Su Ye spoke so dryly that his stomach started growling, and Master Yu let him go.

After coming out of the Animal Husbandry Department, Su Ye slumped her shoulders, drooped her head, and was panting from exhaustion.

Yu Feng supported him and leaned against him, he couldn't help laughing, "Why are you so tired?"

"I figured it out, talking to Mr. Yu is physical work!" Su Ye said, and stuffed a large bunch of copper coins into his hand.

Yu Feng counted, at least half-spoken, and couldn't help laughing: "From now on, leave this kind of physical work to me, and Xiao Yezi can just come up with ideas."

Su Ye weakly replied "Yes".

The two of them were discussing whether to take a stroll for lunch in the county, or go home to eat, when they saw a dark and thin young man running towards them.

"Why did Brother Yan run in such a hurry?" Yu Feng and Yan Xiaolu were fairly familiar and greeted first.

Seeing the two of them, Yan Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief, "It was just in time, I was afraid that you would leave!"

Su Ye raised her eyebrows, "Could it be that... Your Excellency has something to ask us?"

Yan Xiaolu laughed immediately, and praised without hesitation: "A person who can read has a good brain. I don't have anything yet, so Brother Su guessed it right!"

Su Ye smiled, and responded modestly: "It's just a random guess, it's just a coincidence."

Without further ado, Yan Xiaolu led Su Ye and the others to Houya.

This is Mu Feng's private residence, and idlers are not allowed to enter without an invitation.

Yu Feng was led to the tea room by Yan Xiaolu, and Su Ye sat down in the side hall.

Mu Feng will arrive soon.

Although he looks gentle and handsome, he has a bold personality. When he came up, he said: "I presented the drawing of the granary you drew to the teacher, and the teacher dedicated it to Jinshang. After seeing it today, Da Jia praised it. I will give it to you." I gave you ten yi of gold and twenty acres of fertile land..."

"Cao Min thank you, sir, thank you sir." Su Ye saluted politely, without appearing too excited.

It was only then that Mu Feng remembered his identity - after all, he was the son of the Marquis. I am afraid that no amount of gold and land could catch his eyes.

He calmed down, not without regrets in his heart - if it wasn't for being limited by Shuang'er's status, how could such a feat be paid off with a small profit?

With a little hesitation, Mu Feng explained: "Considering that you are staying here incognito, I think you have some difficulties, so when the teacher Shang Datian listened, he only said that it was the Su family in Wannian County, and didn't mention anything else. Brother Su, don't blame me for making my own decisions."

Su Ye quickly bowed and said sincerely: "Thank you for your consideration, Sir, Su is very grateful."

Su Ye's expression did not seem to be fake, and Mu Feng was relieved.

The two respected each other, and the atmosphere relaxed a little.

"Although the rewards are not many, at least they can be used for chewing. Brother Su can speak up wherever he likes, this official can still make the decision."

"Thank you sir, if you can, I can choose [-] acres in Yujia Village, which is close to the river." Su Ye paused, and continued, "Also, let's exchange the ten yi gold for land! "

Mu Feng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You know, this money is enough to buy all the land in all directions of Yujia Village."

Su Ye smiled and said lightly, "Then let's buy them all!"

-

What Mu Feng said was not a joke, nor was Su Ye.

He made such a decision not on a whim, but the result of careful consideration.

In the past few years, there have been constant wars, and the closer to the capital, the more serious the population exodus.

At this time, the new dynasty was first established, the land was sparsely populated, and the land was the cheapest time.Coupled with the ruler's policy of reducing taxes and recuperating, exchanging money for land is the most sensible choice.

The next day, an official in charge of land went to Yujia Village to measure the land.

Yujia Village is surrounded by mountains in the north, river in the south, and a dense bamboo forest in the east, separating it from Xiaozhu Village.

The surrounding land was originally official land, and the farmers had no private property. According to the measurement by the officials of the county government, the total amount of good farmland and wasteland was only two hectares, and ten yi of gold was about 300 taels of silver. It would be more than enough to buy all these lands.

In the end, Su Ye discussed with Yu Feng and bought the chai mountain in the north as well. The little official got Mu Feng's order before he came, so naturally he wouldn't embarrass them at this time, and it was even quite convenient.

Of course, Yu Feng also gave him a lot of benefits, so he didn't make him busy.

In this way, from Chaishan in the north, to the river beach in the south, to the county road in the west, and to the bamboo forest in the south, except for the [-] acres of land in the central Yufeng, all of them belong to Su Ye.

Su Ye suddenly transformed and became the largest landlord in Shili Baxiang.

Su Qingzhu looked at the words "two hectares of land, one chai mountain" on the new household registration card, and his eyes almost fell down.

Although the two are not biological brothers, their household registrations are together. In other words, at least from a legal point of view, these lands are also his!

Su Ye looked at the sketch in his hand, pointed at the missing piece in the center with his index finger, and shook his head regretfully.

Yu Feng was keenly aware of his thoughts, and said very generously: "Xiao Yezi, the twenty acres are also for you, and they are all yours!"

Only then did Su Ye nod in satisfaction, and smiled with her eyes bent.
