I want to do research even if I have no money

The number of these new tenants is almost the same as that of the original tenants of the manor. Now both sides are watching each other. The new tenants and the aborigines are testing each other, wondering if these new neighbors are easy to get along with.

Some of the original tenants knew the background of these new tenants, and they were not very optimistic about these neighbors who had been bandits. "This used to be a bandit. Will he do some sneaky things secretly? We have to keep a close eye on our own things." , don’t get stolen!”

"I heard that they used to do all kinds of crimes by burning, looting and looting, and I don't know what the owner of the village thinks, but they actually found such a person back! Brother Niu, you are familiar with the owner of the village, why don't you go and talk to him!"

"How can you say such a thing?" Brother Niu looked embarrassed, "Besides, they haven't done anything now? They just build a house here and farm. They are poor people. If it weren't for the natural disasters in their hometown, they would not be able to survive. If they go on, they won’t leave their homes and come here!”

"I heard from my aunt that many places in the north of the south of the Yangtze River have had a very hard time this year. First there were droughts, then there were floods, and there were locusts... Basically, they encountered all the bad things. There was no harvest in the fields, and many people They can’t eat a bite of food for a few days, and even some poorer ones, I heard…” A tenant farmer looked around and covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, “I heard there are still people who eat people!”

Another younger tenant farmer exclaimed in amazement: "So scary?! Well, fortunately, our owner had the foresight to build water canals and irrigation systems for us first, and then borrowed us to kill locusts... Oh, and these puppies, now the manor Not even a single mouse can be found here, and such a good owner can't be found with a lantern!"

"Isn't it?! It's poor people like them, they didn't meet someone as good as our owner sooner..."

While walking as if nothing had happened, Situ Meng listened to the aborigines with his ears sideways. Seeing that the topic was gradually shifting and he was no longer hostile to the new tenant farmers, he was quietly relieved.Situ Li, who was walking beside him, said: "We have to go through this stage, but there are some things that we can guide in advance."

"You asked someone to do this?" Situ Meng asked in surprise, uncle even thought of this?

Situ Li nodded, "I asked the servants of the Lin Mansion and your apprentices to spread the news that the new tenant farmers are living badly in their original place... Actually, I am not lying, it is what happened in the first place. But with a little exaggeration, the wind direction of public opinion will go in a favorable direction."

Situ Meng himself once used public opinion to help. When he got back his parents' relics, he relied on Sun Xiucai's book to guide the public's impression of Situ's family.It's a pity that he forgot it after finishing it, and didn't keep it in his heart as an experience at all. In the end, he still had to rely on his uncle for help.

After a few days like this, the houses of the new tenants were basically built. Situ Meng set up a porridge shed in the manor, and served two meals a day to these new tenants who hadn't grown any grain.However, in order to prevent the aborigines from feeling unequal, Situ Meng tried his best to protect the interests of the aborigines on the surface, just like the matter of cloth porridge.

Before the crops can be produced, the manor distributes porridge to the new tenants, but this is not free. In the next three times when they pay the grain, they need to hand in one-third more grain crops than the aborigines each time.The aborigines were originally prejudiced, but after hearing this condition, they felt that these new tenants were very pitiful.

In fact, this is also calculated by Situ Meng. Now there are agricultural tools made by the Huahuo factory in the manor. As the tenant farmers of the manor, these newcomers can naturally rent them. With these agricultural tools, their efficiency will be higher than normal farming. Twice the number of fields that can be taken care of at the same time is also twice as large as ordinary ones, and the conditions for handing over can be easily met.

The newly settled tenant farmers are farmers themselves, and they are all very happy to return to their profession. They are doing their part in the manor tremblingly. After all, if Situ Meng didn’t save them, they would have been imprisoned in the iron barracks of the Jiangnan General Army Camp. in prison.

But the number of bandits is so large, it is naturally impossible for them to be composed of these simple farmers, and there are quite a few who were originally petty thieves, or even bandits who really grew up in bandit dens. Naturally, these people did not After being selected into the nursing home and servants, after signing the tenant lease contract with Situ Meng under false pretense, he revealed his true colors within a few days.

The management problems of this group of people are almost bald, especially in the villa, except for Situ Li, no one dares to confront them, let alone control them.Besides helping Situ Meng manage the villa, Situ Li himself had other careers to attend to, so he couldn't stay in the manor all the time and fight with these villains.

These troublemakers wreak havoc in the manor every day when they have nothing to do, making them look like village tyrants. Many original tenants of the manor have complained to Situ Meng, and Situ Meng has also thought of ways to get them to do something else. The days are idle, but the results are not great.

One day, Bai Qiyun finished her day's work and returned to Chengning Garden, but was blocked by these gangsters on the road. Since she left after the normal working hours of the manor, most people had already gone home for dinner, so looking around , There are basically few people on the road.

Luo Wuben was already eating in the Lin Mansion, and halfway through the meal, he suddenly remembered that he had left the account books to be handed in this month at the oil workshop during the day, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and hurried back.

Because all the workshops, including the Huahuo factory, are on the same road, Luo Wu, who rushed to the oil workshop, saw Bai Qiyun from a distance surrounded by a group of gangsters who were always idle and making trouble. A hoe, wanting to help Bai Qiyun.

Unexpectedly, when he was halfway there, the positions of the besieged and the besieged were reversed.

It turned out that Bai Qiyun had been wearing all kinds of fire mechanism armor and small fire mechanism weapons. After all, she was such a beautiful woman with such an outstanding appearance, it was still very dangerous to walk outside.Seeing that she didn't bring a knife and saw today, the gangsters thought they would finally be able to make a move. Who would have expected that this girl would have other tricks?

Bai Qiyun didn't say much when she saw the gangsters surrounding her. She casually took out a round iron ball the size of a baby's palm from her sleeve pocket. The iron ball "grows" a pair of petite wings in her palm, like a bee. It flew up buzzing and fluttering.

Bai Qiyun didn't know what to do, the little iron ball with wings passed by the gangsters with a whistling sound, hit the ground and exploded immediately.A few punks were not only covered in dust all over their heads and faces, but also their ears were buzzing from the huge explosion. When they turned their heads and saw a big hole in the ground, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move. .

Someone yelled, and the gangsters fled away in cold sweat as if a switch had been turned on.

It wasn't anyone who shouted, but Luo Wu who wanted to help just now.In the same way, he also thought that Bai Qiyun would be a weak woman like other girls. After all, he had never seen Bai Qiyun holding a fire machine knife and saw with his own eyes like other people, covered in blood like a god of death, so he just said Will run over to help immediately after seeing her being surrounded.

It's just that she didn't expect her self-protection ability to be so strong, she was like a walking weapon of mass destruction, and she was a little ashamed of being frightened at the moment.However, as the chief steward of the manor, he couldn't be as cowardly as those gangsters. After scaring away the gangsters, Luo Wu went around the deep hole in the ground and walked to Bai Qiyun.

"I'm sorry that this happened to you. It's my mismanagement, my negligence of duty." Luo Wu said.

Bai Qiyun: "It's nothing, anyway, I'm not surprised, and they chose to be gangsters by themselves, and you didn't force them to do it. What does it have to do with you?"

The two were speechless for a while, Luo Wu thought for a while, and said carefully: "If something like this happens again next time, can you please not use such a destructive weapon? You have also seen that this environment that is easy to destroy the manor , Moreover, even if it is self-protection, when the time comes, people will be cut off, and if someone reports to the official, you will still have to sue..."

"..." Bai Qiyun gave him a surprised look.She met all kinds of men in the past, some admired her appearance, some looked down on her because she was a woman, some like Situ Li and Situ Meng's uncle and nephew treated her as her peers and regarded her as friends, and some Like the people in the Huahuo Factory, those who are impressed by her talent, and even the Jiangnan General Army Battalion and bandits, when she kills the gods and fears her...

But there is no one like Luo Wu who not only protects her from the standpoint of a protector, but also takes the standpoint of a manager to persuade her to obey the rules and disciplines.

She carefully observed the man in front of her, and found that he really didn't mean anything to her, and was really worried about her destroying the manor.

"How strange!" Bai Qiyun thought.

"Are you going back to Chengning Garden now?" Luo Wu said, "There is food left for you in the Lin Mansion, if you are not in a hurry, go eat first. I still have some urgent matters, let's go first."

Bai Qiyun nodded, seeing Luo Wu walking in the direction of the workshop group, she thought about it, and as he said, go to the Lin Mansion for dinner first.

When she arrived at the Lin Mansion, Situ Meng and the others had already finished their meal. Seeing that she was the only one coming back, she asked, "Where is Luo Wu? Didn't you meet him when he went to the oil workshop?"

"I met him on the road. He said he had something to do and asked me to come back for dinner first."

"So that's how it is," Situ Meng said, "I'm just going to the kitchen, so I'll bring you some food... I remember you don't seem to like spicy food? Today the kitchen cooks all spicy dishes, and Luo Wu specially asked them to make one. It's not spicy, I think it's for you..."

Situ Meng's voice gradually faded away, and Bai Qiyun sat on the stool with her head down, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, Situ Meng came back. He put the food left for Bai Qiyun on the table, and muttered in a low voice, "How come my little brother has been away for so long, his food is cold."

Situ Meng held the food box in one hand, and seemed to be going to Chengning Garden to feed the puppies dog food, Bai Qiyun thanked him, and silently chewed the warm food.

She was not slow to eat, but after finishing her meal and packing up her things, she still didn't see Luo Wu.She originally planned to go back to Chengning Garden directly, but after thinking about it, she took a turn and went to the "industrial area".

Not long after walking on the road leading to the workshop group, Bai Qiyun ran into Luo Wu. He was shoveling the soil with a shovel. Bai Qiyun recognized at a glance that it was the deep pit she had blown up just now.

Because his back was facing Bai Qiyun, Luo Wu didn't notice her coming, and he had already filled half of the deep hole, and the land blown out by Bai Qiyun's weapon was more difficult to clean up - because it was blown out, the soil was splashed, and before filling the hole, The soil had to be collected first, and it took him quite a while just to collect the splashed soil.

"You are filling in the hole I just blasted." This is an affirmative sentence, Luo Wu turned around after hearing this, only to find Bai Qiyun standing behind him.

Luo Wu gave a "hmm" and continued to fill in the hole.
