On the avenue a few miles away from Meizhuang, Xiao Xiang asked weakly: "What are we doing here?"

"Choose a good piece of land and build a house in the spring. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Jiang Li held the drawings in his hand, looked at them all the way, and said casually.

"Huh?!" Xiao Xiang's eyes widened again, as if she had heard a big anecdote, "Are you sure we want to build a house in our house?" ”

"This is Meizhuang, I'm going to build a house, what does it have to do with the house!" Jiang Li didn't raise his head.

I came back yesterday and told Mei Bo about my plan, but I didn't expect that the old Mei Bo was quite in favor of Jiang Li's idea. In order to stabilize the outsiders who had lost their fields to plant, Maeber proposed that people go to the village and put up a notice.

Jiang Li's idea was that the newly built farmhouse would be paid on a monthly basis, and the rent of the land would be paid at the end of the year. As long as you are willing to make efforts, you can come to Meizhuang to sign the title deed, regardless of whether you are indigenous or foreigner.

Jiang Li deliberately wanted to do something different from the way of landlords and hired farmers in the same period, she didn't want to recruit long soil, and she didn't want to treat hired farmers harshly. The low rent and the 20% grain commission are the best resettlement she can give to these foreigners in the world.

After saying that, I believe that Mabel has already posted the notice in the morning, and the matter of choosing the land to build the farmhouse cannot be delayed. So Jiang Li thought about going out and choosing a place.

Sixi suggested a few locations, and Jiang Li took this opportunity to prepare to look at them one by one.

Originally, she didn't need to see this kind of thing in person, but after Jiang Li, who was a female man in the previous life, was reborn, she didn't care about etiquette, she only took care of her own calculations.

Her little daughter's family doesn't understand politics, but based on her own cognition, the two countries of Yan and Chen have been fighting for many years, and I heard that they have broken through the capital of Nanchen. She doesn't know if she will turn around and deal with Da Song next, but it is an indisputable fact that the prime minister of Da Song Dynasty secretly communicated with Da Yan. With such a precedent, it is difficult to guarantee that Da Song will not have an accident.

She can't decide on major national events, but she wants to think of a way out for her industry in advance.

If Da Song **** gets up, the tungsten ore in her hand will definitely not be developed for the time being, and the more than a dozen shops in charge of the shopkeeper Ge will inevitably not be affected by the war. On the contrary, it is the thousands of hectares of fertile land in Meizhuang, and a year's grain now seems to be not worth much silver, but there is a saying in the business industry: gold and jade in troubled times.

In Jiang Li's opinion, it is not as good as food that can fill his stomach. In her opinion, it is not wrong to manage the fertile fields of Meizhuang first and accumulate a lot of grain.

If you want to store grain, you can't plant the land in Meizhuang. So she had to settle the tenant farmers. There are many outsiders among the tenant farmers, and they are afraid that there will be more wars, so the newly built farmhouses in Meizhuang cannot be small, and they have to be reserved for more people to live in.

After seeing the terrain in various places in Meizhuang, Jiang Li went to Jiangjia Village by the way. Thinking that Mabel's notice had probably been posted, she wanted to see everyone's reaction.

Jiangjia Village is not big, and the ordinary houses are blue bricks and gray tiles. The houses supported by green vines and bamboo fences are scattered all over the countryside, but a group of people stand under the big banyan tree at the head of the village. These people were dressed in green coats and short shirts and trousers, all dressed as peasants. The scholar named Zhang Xiaotian who had seen him on the dock that day was also mixed in the crowd, and at this time he was talking with the people next to him excitedly, and the excitement in people's expressions was a little shrunk when they looked at the banyan tree.

Jiang Li walked through the crowd and stood next to Jiang Xiaotian, keeping a certain distance from the crowd.

The newly posted notice on the big banyan tree has been torn and mottled off, and a conspicuous plum print on it remains intact. The white paper that fell off was now in the hands of a middle-aged man with a sharp-beaked monkey cheek and a handful of beard on his chin, and next to him stood a man of the same age, with high cheekbones, low eyebrows and eyes, and the two looked cold and fierce.

The middle-aged man waved the paper in his hand and yelled at the crowd viciously, and many people showed disdain on their faces, looked elsewhere, and did not want to cause trouble and did not take it seriously.

Seeing Jiang Li and Xiaoxiang join in, the two arrogant men hurriedly glanced at them with hideous eyes, and said meaningfully: "Don't care if it's a newcomer or a tenant who has lived in the past for a long time, listen to me, no matter what you did before, since you can come to Jiangjia Village to beg for a living, you have to follow the customs, and in Jiangjia Village, you have to listen to me Jiang Tian and Jiang Tian one or two brothers!" Without our two brothers to speak, who in this village would dare to rent a house for you?! ”

It turns out that these two people are the two splashes that Sixi met? Jiang Li muttered to himself.

"Who's the one who spoke?" Jiang Li stepped forward and asked Zhang Xiaotian who Yanziji had seen that day.

"The monkey-faced one is Jiang Tianci, and the squint-eyed one is Jiang Tianyi, both of whom are two scoundrels who play tricks and splash skins. You're new here, aren't you? But look carefully, you have to walk around them when you go out! Zhang Xiaotian spit on the ground and said.

She and Xiaoxiang had put on makeup before going out, Rao's complexion was darker, her eyebrows were thicker, and her eyebrows and eyes still looked delicate. There are many scholars among the foreigners who fled from the border, and the two are inconspicuous in the middle, and Jiang Tianci no longer looks at it after a glance.

"Again, whether you are outsiders or villagers in your own village, you either go to the nearby city to make some small living, or find another way out, or you are not allowed to rent the land of Meizhuang!"

The crowd buzzed one after another: "If we have the capital to go to the city to earn a living, we can also go to Jiangjia Village to farm!" ”

"That's it, besides, it's not easy to live in the capital, and there is no place for us outsiders to stand ······"

"Jiang Popi himself doesn't have the land to plant for us, and we are not allowed to rent other people's land to plant, isn't this a way to cut off the livelihood of the family!"

"That's it! Why are we afraid of him, Meizhuang has land for rent, and the rent is cheap, let's move to Meizhuang in the future, and we will no longer have to be exploited by their brothers, he can't stop such a good thing! Someone in the crowd shouted.

"Don't think that my brothers are blowing it out of thin air, as long as you dare to rent their land, our brothers have the ability to make it impossible for you to stay on this land! Don't talk about you, the master who lives in Meizhuang now, although he came out of the Jiang family mansion in the capital, but he angered our brothers, let's not mention selling her with her feet! ”

Someone is going to sell themselves with their feet slit? Jiang Li was very angry when he heard this. Xiao Xiang gritted her teeth in anger, and her fingers snapped. Jiang Liqi was calm on his face, and shook his head at Xiaoxiang. She is still a young lady of an official family, and someone dares to sell her feet, but she wants to know what the origin of these two things is.

I heard Jiang Tianci continue to shout: "Originally, when the old lady in the house was the patrol envoy, we often came to the door, and we are the same generation as the old lady Jiang, and even the three masters of the Jiang family now have to call me uncle, and the Jiang family is now three young sons, right?" All of them are characters who go out and walk sideways, and I have to call my lord obediently when I see me! Meizhuang is in the third room, and now the village is in charge of a sick and yellow-haired girl in the third room······"

Jiang Li let out a sneer when he heard this. She knows what kind of characters her three brothers are, and the two hateful faces in front of her claim to be able to subdue the three arrogant sons of the Jiang family, and she doesn't believe it if they want them to condescend and call Jiang Tianci a master. But it was strange how Jiang Tianci and the two of them were so clear about their family's affairs.

"The grandmother in the third room is gone, the third master is far away as an official, there is a lack of discipline around the little master, and there is no big or small thing to do, which provokes us, so I have to discipline and discipline the old lady Jiang, forgive my third nephew and don't dare to say anything when he comes back!"

He calls his father the third nephew? Jiang Li thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have the slightest impression of this sudden relative. Old lady Jiang, that is, when her grandfather died, she was still young and couldn't remember anything clearly. But her mother died in the first half of the year, and she knelt in front of the spirit to salute the guests who came to mourn, but she had no impression of the two people in front of her.

Many people didn't want to listen to the chatter of those two scoundrels anymore and left the scene one after another. Jiang Li grabbed a person and asked, "Do we rent this land?" ”

"Forget it! Do you think two splashes are easy to mess with? The man said angrily. Visiting Turai, raising rents in disguise, secretly destroying people's crops, picking and beating people along the way, and suing people for stealing his property for no reason, it is very annoying to disturb people. It's better not to rent it, don't cause trouble. Most of the people who spoke were native, and they must have a few acres of land at home before they had the confidence to say this.

Jiang Li turned sideways and asked Zhang Xiaotian, who was silent: "Do you dare to ask Brother Tai to rent the land of Meizhuang?" ”

"What can I do if I don't rent, the family still has to live. Besides, this dynasty has always been a farmer and a businessman, and even if the cultivation of poetry and books cannot lead to a master, it can be passed on. I won't tell you the truth, my hometown also has dozens of acres of land, if it weren't for the fear that the war would burn to our doorstep one day, we wouldn't have left our hometown and come to the capital to settle down. If we fail to do so in the fall, we will eventually go back in a few years. Therefore, this family style of cultivating and reading heirlooms cannot be lost. Zhang Xiaotian said.

Zhang Xiaotian was bookish when he opened his mouth, but Jiang Li was a little unimpressed by his words. Although the businessmen are at the bottom of the list, the businessmen make money by their ability, and they don't have to look at them when they encounter them.

Jiang Liyu remembered something, so he said, "Brother Tai, do you know some craftsmen who repair houses and build houses?" I heard that Meizhuang is going to build a house, and this craftsman is still short of manpower, if you can find a group of craftsmen to work, you can move out of here one day sooner, and then you will no longer have to be coerced by these two scoundrels. ”

"Is this news true?" Zhang Xiaotian said happily, "There are a lot of craftsmen in this village, and they are the most idle at the end of this year, these people are all dragging their families, and now the land of Meizhuang has not yet landed, and the people are panicking, so it is good to have such an opportunity to work." I'll tell people to go right away! Do you know that they still need an overseer? I can write and calculate. ”

"Perhaps." Jiang Li smiled.

Zhang Xiaotian went happily. Jiang Li also took Xiaoxiang out of the village and back to Meizhuang, walking all the way, his right eyelid jumped suddenly.

Dare to be by those two splashes? Jiang Li thought secretly.

She didn't know that Meizhuang had a more mixed splash and was watching her go back.
