To Rule in a Turbulent World

The plan for a year lies in spring. When spring comes, the whole Jiangbo Villa is in chaos. There are craftsmen yelling to come and go everywhere. Big ships are unloading by the river. Basswood trees are scattered and some have been stripped of their bark. Some have already started digging, and the craftsmen have set up a few sheds by the river in a mess. You Miao went to ask Old Craftsman Huang how he was, and asked people to pile up the iron ingots on the bank and lead them to Shenyuan go.

Qiao Jue hadn't seen this posture last time, and said, "You are here to benefit the people, Miaozi."

You Miao replied with a modest smile: "There is no way to benefit the people, but it is okay to benefit your own villa."

This is the coldest time of the year, but the river is still not frozen. A group of people entered the Shen Garden, and they all probed their brains. It was obvious that they had never lived in such a wealthy courtyard. I am addicted to going back to the big family."

You Miaoxu kicked him and joked, "You're burying me."

Qiao Jue took a servant to clean it up, so she planned to stay here. The porter by the river sent the tea seedlings to the Shen Garden, and they piled up all over the backyard. You Miao asked Li Zhifeng to settle the wages. The newly recruited tenants entered the lobby, and several of them were standing.

You Miao said: "Wait here."

They are all poor people, why have they ever entered such a rich place?Immediately, they all praised Shen Yuan's style, the women waited outside the house with their children, and the men in charge came in.You Miao took a look and saw that Mu Feng and Mu Yan had entered one of the two brothers, thinking that one family entered one person, which was regarded as a rule.

You Miao saw how his father treated his tenants when he was young. He went in and took tea, brewed it by himself, divided it into rounds with rough clay cups, and said: "When you enter Shenyuan, you will be a member of our family. , everyone agreed to discuss the quantity. Come here and share the tea."

The young master of the villa invited the tenants and servants to drink tea, which meant that You Miao officially accepted them. Immediately, a family named Zhuang took the lead, and the four families of Zhuang, Huang, Qian, and Niu came to pick up the tea, and they all came one after another. Said: "Of course I am loyal to the young master."

"Yeah." Satisfied, You Miao added a round of tea and said, "If you are dragging your children, you can live in the Shen Garden first. Don't worry, just find a place to live in the side room. This year will be the first year of the year." Farming the land to support the family, if there is not enough to eat, just ask Li Zhifeng."

As soon as You Miao agreed to the question of eating, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

You Miao said: "But the rations paid in advance this year will be returned next year, with a profit."

The man surnamed Zhuang said: "Yes, it is such a reason, and I definitely can't take advantage of the young master for nothing."

You Miao said: "Tomorrow, I will go to enclose the fields. If you enclose more and less, you can do what you can. One mu of land is rented for five cents."

As soon as these words came out, although several people were reluctant, they had to nod.You Miao smiled and said: "The land in my villa can grow rice for three seasons. If you don't believe me, try it yourself. You will see it when you come here? The waterwheel is used for water supply in spring. If you don't grow rice for three seasons, I'm a very talkative person, and at the end of the year, you can pay less rent."

As soon as these words came out, several people breathed a sigh of relief.You Miao sent another message: "The four of you who want to rent land for farming, go and rest. You will start plowing the land tomorrow, and the grain will be given to you then."

The four families who came with the boat all bowed and retreated. Only then did You Miao remember that the person surnamed Song who was soliciting in Er'er Market yesterday didn't come, and she presumably ran away with the money. It's a trick, so I have to go along as a thief.

Cheng Guangwu, a tall and thin young man with a dark complexion, and the twins surnamed Mu, who were sallow and emaciated from hunger, were left in the hall.

"I'll farm too." Cheng Guangwu said, "I'll rent a land of ten mu, and the young master will charge me five cents?"

You Miao was looking at him funny, and said, "You know how to farm?"

Cheng Guangwu was startled, and then replied: "No, I can learn."

You Miao said: "The land in the northeast corner of Shenyuan is a good land. I planted it for you. You will get [-]% of yours and [-]% of mine. I will dig out the seeds, but you have to listen to me. After planting, you will love it." How to deal with it, how to deal with it, I will give you a bite to eat, but you are not busy on weekdays, you have to take care of my two horses, and you have to take care of the chores in the house. When my uncle calls you, you just tell him done."

You Miao gave Cheng Guangwu food and lodging, let him plant a piece of land behind Shen Yuan, and gave half of it to sell for himself. It was really a great thing, Cheng Guangwu hurriedly nodded and resigned.

There are two pairs of twins, Mu Yan and Mu Feng, left. You Miao thinks for a while, why don't you wait in the room?I don't have so many things to do, let them cook, shall we?Seeing that the small body is not enough to toss, be a gardener and take care of the flowers and plants?It seems too idle.

The two brothers are also in their teens, and they look so pitiful, like two monkeys, with tattered clothes.

In the end, You Miao had no choice but to say: "Go to Li Zhifeng, you can do whatever he asks you to do."

"Yes." Mu Yan bowed and took his brother away.

The two brothers are not like the other tenants, who came to rent land to farm, and in the final analysis they relied on themselves. Even Cheng Guangwu would say, "I don't sell myself, I just ask for some work."However, the twins sold themselves to bury their father, and they wanted to sign a contract of sale with You Miao. At that time, they pressed their fingerprints at the notary in the market and wrote the certificate of sale.You Miao can't exaggerate how to support these two people, but he is casual by nature, so naturally he won't buy a slave for fun like Li Yan, and boss him around.If others treat You Miao better, You Miao will treat him ten times more in return, and she also believes that if someone like Li Zhifeng treats him well, he will naturally be loyal for the rest of his life without saying anything.

Just when he was thinking of Li Zhifeng, Li Zhifeng came in, and You Miao asked, "All sent away?"

"Yes." Li Zhifeng said.

You Miao: "I'll let those two boys follow you."

Li Zhifeng: "Well, they talked about it."

You Miao: "What did you ask them to do?"

Li Zhifeng: "Take a shower."

You Miao laughed, pulled Li Zhifeng to sit down, went to change the tea tray by herself, threw the teacups that the tenants drank before into the copper basin, boiled water to wash them, and said: "There is nothing to do now, let's have a cup of tea. "

Li Zhifeng said: "I will go to Guozhuang Anlu to strike iron in the afternoon."

Only then did You Miao remember that she still had to make hinges to make hinges, plows, hoes and sickles, buy moso bamboo to build scaffolding, hire short laborers to help Qiao Jue plow the ground, plant tea seedlings, send people to buy rapeseeds, and find beekeepers. Man, buy fish fry... I was about to cry right away.

You Miao: "Why are there so many things I can't finish, hey, it makes me feel like a spinning top."

Li Zhifeng smiled and said, "Have a cup of tea first."

You Miao took a pot and two cups alone, and said, "This is the cup from Ruyao, which my mother passed on to me."

"En." Li Zhifeng looked at it seriously.

You Miao glanced at him and repeated, "It's from Ruyao!"

Li Zhifeng: "?"

You Miao lost, guessing that Li Zhifeng didn't understand these things, so he had to honestly say: "Imitation, you can only coax my cheap brother who doesn't understand anything, I want a set."
