The Qiu family's restaurant in the county was about to be reorganized, but this time it was not going to be a restaurant, so Yuanwai Qiu handed over the matter to Qiu Shizhen.

Qiu Shizhen thought about it in the house but didn't know what to do better. The second sister's restaurant was booming, and their business was cut off immediately.

"Would you like to sell some groceries?" An Qiyu suggested to him.

Qiu Shizhen shook his head, his father had disbanded the caravan, and without a caravan to go outside to get goods, the grocery store would have no selling point.

Apart from restaurants, the best thing is to set up a caravan to sell groceries, but Qiu Yuanwai has worked hard all his life and knows how dangerous caravans are, so he refuses to let his son follow his old path no matter what.

"Then there's no other way." An Qiyu held his head with his hands. The Qiu family has a lot of land, so they can live without worrying about food and clothing for several lifetimes, but this can only save capital. After staying at home, the income of the Qiu family has been reduced by almost half.

Several shops in the county town gave the second lady a dowry, and two in the capital city gave the eldest lady a dowry. These cannot be counted as the property of the Qiu family, so now the Qiu family only has two shops in the prefecture apart from a large amount of land. A restaurant in the county town and some industries in the small town.

The two couldn't think of any good ideas, so let's give up for now.

"Young Master, Young Husband" Qing Shan came over.

"Something happened in Wenkan Village, the master asked the young master to deal with it"

"Wenkan Village? What's the matter?" Qiu Shizhen stood up, and Xiao Yezi immediately prepared things for the young master to travel.

"The villagers there...are kind and charitable, and took in three refugees. Those who were not taken in gave up and wanted to stay." Qingshan carefully considered his words.

"Humph, what kindness is there?" Xiao Yezi interjected, "He dares to take people in the village in private, and he is not afraid of causing any trouble! Before, the next town came to take in a foreigner, but he didn't entertain the guests well and was wiped out by them." Now, ask for trouble!"

"You're the one who talks too much!" Qiu Shizhen glanced at Xiao Yezi, and then asked, "What does this have to do with us?"

"Those refugees have ruined our land, and now several farmers are arguing. The master wants you to go and learn a lot. It just so happens that there are a few families who have not paid rent, and have not asked for it since years ago. I see, the master wants to see if you have any good methods." Qingshan conveyed the master's instructions.

"You don't have to ask for the rent, just change the rent." Qiu Shizhen pointed to the teapot and asked Xiao Yezi to bring these things with her.

"That's what I said, but it's hard for those villagers, and the master is kind-hearted. I feel uncomfortable when I see them naked. How can I drive people to a dead end?"

Qiu Shizhen sighed, this is really a bit difficult.If this person keeps dragging his rent, the other villagers will start to follow suit to test the bottom line of the Qiu family.

Seeing that the group of people were about to leave, An Qiyu immediately followed with a bag of snacks.

"What do you want to do?" Qiu Shizhen was followed by Xiao Yezi and Ah Ling.

"I'm going too, it's too boring to stay here every day"

"There are a lot of refugees there and it's not safe. It's better for the young husband to stay here with his wife." Qing Shan's words blocked An Qiyu's way. Not filial.

She curled her lips and looked at Qiu Shizhen pitifully.

"Forget it, take a few more burly people there." Qiu Shizhen blushed and turned her head away uncomfortably.

When we arrived at Wenkan Village, a group of people were noisy.

"My boss is here!" Several people familiar with Qingshan came over and shouted loudly.

Seeing Qiu Shizhen getting off the carriage, the villagers of Wenkan Village were a little puzzled, "Brother Qingshan, who is this?"

"This is the young master and young husband of the Qiu family." Qingshan called an older man, "Where are the broken places you mentioned?"

Qiu Shizhen looked at the circle of people around him, and could clearly see the difference between the local villagers and the refugees.

When I went to those fields, it turned out that a few strong and strong people dragged branches and rags to build houses in the fields.

Most of these are refugees who suffered from drought or flood elsewhere. Qiu Shizhen remembered that the county magistrate mentioned that there was a special place to take them in, but life was hard.These people are used to living in the fields, and most of them are taken in by the top to work as coolies. The current people don't see a way out, and some just want to try their luck to see if they can be left by the villagers to have a land to farm. People are better now.

Qiu Shizhen nodded at Qingshan, and the group of people brought from Qiu's house started to take things out.

The rest began to dismantle the things that the group of refugees had built in the fields and threw them on the road.

The two groups fought, Qiu Shizhen looked at the shoulder poles and hoes in the hands of the refugees and clenched their fists, and looked at the villagers of Wenkan Village with cold eyes.

Seeing this from Qiu Shizhen, several clever villagers yelled 'not good' in their hearts, and started to rush forward to help the Qiu family.

After the people brought by the Qiu family subdued a group of people to the ground, the pavilion chief over there brought people over.

"Brother Yu" the head of the pavilion greeted An Qiyu in a good mood, his brother Zhu was about to get married, so he was also in a good mood recently.

"Uncle Zhang" Brother Yu greeted the pavilion chief with some fear, it was really scary for this group of people to copy the guy.

"Tie up everyone." Zhang Tingchang looked at the group of people here and asked Qiu Shizhen, "Is there anything else?"

"We'll have to ask the people in Wenkan Village." Qiu Shizhen looked at the villagers unhappily.

"Ting Zhang, Zhang Ting Zhang" the old village chief of Wenkan Village was helped over, out of breath.

Three people came up behind him, two women and one brother.

Qiu Shizhen looked at that brother and felt very familiar, it was the person in the portrait his parents showed him that day.

"Okay, it's fine if you report it, I'll take these bastards away first." The pavilion chief and Qiu Shizhen said and left.

Many of the people brought by the Qiu family were injured, An Qiyu ran to the carriage to get the wound medicine.

"Thank you young husband"

"It's time to work." A group of people smiled carelessly.

"Master Qiu" the village chief came over to say hello.

Qiu Shizhen looked at the scattered poles and hoes and sneered, "What's going on in your village?"

"This..." Some villagers were a little puzzled after hearing this.

"Those of us who will come to your village today should have known the news, why? Knowing that we are coming, you have specially prepared things for those refugees?" Qiu Shizhen pointed to the hoe on the ground, "These things belong to your village, right?"

The village chief was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted, "I'm wronged, we can't drive those people away, and we can't bear to be rough. After seeing them wreaking havoc in the field, we immediately went to report to Brother Qingshan. As for these poles Hoes or something, I really don’t know.”

"So who owns these things, stand up and take a look." Qiu Shijie looked around and said slowly.

No one stood up.

Qiu Shizhen sighed, "My father is so kind-hearted, you all want to climb on top of him, and go to other places to inquire, which one's rent is not so much higher than our Qiu's?"

Bullying the soft and fearing the strong is vividly reflected in the villagers of Wenkan Village.

"From now on, the rent of your Wenkan Village will increase by one cent each, and you don't have to find any reason if you owe rent for more than three days."

"Master Qiu, you are trying to force us to die!" Several old people immediately stood up.

Looking at their patched clothes, Qiu Shizhen smiled, "The land in our place is fertile, and the yield has always been very good. I was puzzled before. There are so many villages, why is your village often saying that there is no food?"

An Qiyu also became curious, not knowing what Qiu Shizhen meant.

"You guys are too impatient today, you didn't pretend to be good." Qiu Shizhen looked at the silk and satin shoes that were faintly exposed under their patched clothes, and sneered, "Look at your feet, the fox's tail is exposed."

Some villagers immediately retracted their feet when they saw the exquisite uppers on their feet.

"I will be in charge here from now on, and next time I won't have to wear those rags in front of me, I won't eat this!"
