The harrier came back the next night and brought back the instructions of the uncle, the second uncle, the great-grandfather, and the grandfather. Shi Jingxuan briefly talked about the situation at home, and at the same time brought a bad thing about a grange in the south of the Yangtze River.

This grange is one of the confiscated family properties of officials involved in the turmoil of those years. Because the emperor deliberately ordered that all the confiscated property in the local area should be sent back to the capital in time, these fixed assets that could not be taken away would be sold immediately after the raid, and the price was very low.

At that time, Erya did not plan to buy a grange in Jiangnan, it is undeniable that Jiangnan is rich, and at the same time, do not forget that it is the political whirlpool of almost every dynasty, and it is also an eventful and complicated place, Erya does not like Jiangnan, and of course will not be willing to buy property there.

Wu Fenggang, who was working in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, found that it was close to the edge of the river, that irrigation was very convenient, and that the price was half of the normal price, so he took it upon himself to buy more than 1,000 mu of paddy fields sold by the government.

His good intentions can be understood, this kind of paddy field close to the river and not a flood discharge area is very rare, when the wind and rain are good, but there is no benefit, once the drought is so serious a few years ago, there is no need to worry about the lack of water in the field as before.

It is because of this grange that it used to be a tenant, but it was later retired and changed to a permanent worker. The first two years were fine, everyone was hello and I was good and we were satisfied with each other, but this year somehow there were endless problems. Now it's getting worse and worse, and it's getting to the point where the director over there can't control it.

Because it is just a small piece of paper that concisely explains the situation, there is no way to figure out the specific ins and outs. Just said that the two of them should go over one. Erya discussed with Xiaohu: "Why don't I take a few people over there to deal with the affairs over there, and it won't be long before it's time to pick the grapes, so I'll get the wine and come back by the way." You're here to help Xiaolongzhang with something. While continuing to be busy with the work of clearing the wasteland. ”

Xiaohu hesitated, it was said that he should have gone to this matter, but his methods of dealing with things were more tough, and he was not suitable for dealing with such trivial matters. He was also worried that he would not handle it well, but he would make a mistake, but he would also feel distressed when he asked his daughter-in-law to ride a horse back and forth for such a long distance: "If you go." This distance is not short, can you bear the back and forth horseback riding? If the one catches yours comes. Aren't you more guilty without a carriage? ”

"It's okay, I can overcome it! And there's a good chance I'll take the waterway. Now I'm most worried about Wen Yue's studies, before the newly invited gentleman arrives, you let Xiaolong grab the point, don't let Wen Yue play ambitious! ”

"Hmmm! I know! Is there still that woman in the house to send away? Xiaohu has always felt that it is to protect the safety of that woman. Thus trapping them, many good helpers are really wasted. It's better to send it to the capital or hometown. And the affairs of the Yan family look like this, and they can't handle it for a while. This woman gave her mother-in-law's family out in order to protect herself, and it is difficult to guarantee that one day her father-in-law and man will threaten her with the child and do anything unfavorable to Xiaolong. Although Xiaohu also believes that so many people in his family can ensure that the Yan family has no way to contact that woman, isn't he afraid of everything.

Because the affairs of the Yan family are not easy to handle, it really can't be solved for a while, and it is not a problem for the daughter-in-law of the Yan family to always hide in the prefect's house. At present, the Yan family can't figure out the situation and doesn't dare to make trouble, if one day he is ruthless, and he is noisy and says that the prefect has detained his Yan family's daughter-in-law without permission, it is also a headache. Therefore, although Erya and Xiaohu have different starting points, they have the same point of view. They all thought that it was best to send the women of the Yan family to a distant place.

It's just that Erya still has concerns: "I also think it's best to send it away!" It's just that I'm worried that the Yan family will get the exact news, but I will be ruthless and desperate to fight to the death. And we're not ready yet. It is impossible to say that we will suffer losses, and we may not be able to achieve the desired effect of suppressing bandits. ”

"So be it! Anyway, I want Brother Daman to bring someone over, and by the way, I will ask him to bring my sister-in-law and other people's family members over, and when the time comes, I will take the women of the Yan family out with me when I send the women back. Then send it to General Qin from the shortcut in the Northland! Do you think it's not feasible? ”

Erya doesn't want to use her brains, anyway, although Xiaohu's method has some exaggerated feelings, but the idea is good. He agreed to his proposal, and he completed it.

Erya took the eight boys all the way to the canal ferry on the outskirts of Beijing, and then took a boat to the grange by the river directly. It saves a lot of time and makes people feel a lot more comfortable.

When I arrived at the Grange, I saw Director Xie Jiazhong who was mentioned from several team leaders in Liujialing, and from the causes and consequences he said, Er Ya was able to roughly guess the real reason for the troubles of these long-term workers.

One is nothing more than seeing her family's annual income getting higher and higher year by year, and her eyes are red. The other is nothing more than someone behind the scenes, stirring up trouble.

The cause of the incident was that the mother of a long-term worker fell ill and needed a lot of money for medical treatment. At first, this long-term worker could apply to the supervisor for advance payment of wages in a regular manner, and Xie Jiazhong happily approved it. The long-term worker stopped making advances after a few months, and Xie Jiazhong thought that his mother's illness was cured, and he was quite happy for him. Who knows, shortly after that, someone secretly told Xie Jiazhong that the long-term worker was stealing the owner's yellow eels and loaches and selling them to a restaurant in the provincial capital.

How many cages are put in every day, and how many are taken back in the morning, Xie Jiazhong has found that the number of cages is correct several times, but there are always a few cages that are empty. At that time, he suspected that someone was stealing inside, but he thought that it might be his own child who was hungry, and it was possible to steal some back and burn it for the child, so he didn't pursue it. But I don't want to, it turned out that it was stolen and sold for profit, in this case, it can't be spared.

Xie Jiazhong immediately made a decision and held a meeting to announce the dismissal of the long-term worker. The long worker was originally an honest person, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly break out in the meeting, and he wanted to fight hard with Xie Jiazhong, saying that he was not satisfied with the supervisor's disposition. Among the other long-term workers, only a few stood on Xie Jiazhong's side to protect the interests of the owner, and most of them stood on the side of the long-term workers, thinking that Xie Jiazhong's punishment was too heavy.

Xie Jiazhong listened to everyone's opinions and said that his mother was still sick, and dismissing him now was tantamount to cutting off his family's livelihood, which was indeed a bit heavier, so he promised to stay with him for a period of time to check on the situation of this reform. If he is found to have stolen the owner's things again, he will be dismissed without any leeway.

After that, Xie Jiazhong became more and more uncontrollable, because his concessions made those long-term workers think that this was a master who was easy to bully. So more people followed suit and stole loaches and yellow eels and sold them to the restaurant in the provincial capital, and the restaurant raised the price and sold it to others if they couldn't eat it themselves. Until this time it broke out in front of the supervisor, blatantly taking away the loaches and eels in the cage. The helpers who used to be here, when they were pulling with them, they actually attacked them in groups and injured the helpers here.

Wu Fenggang was the first to learn the news, originally he was thinking of dismissing them all and hiring another long-term worker. But when he came over to investigate, he changed his mind and asked Xie Jiazhong to notify the owner to come over.

After Erya finally met Wu Fenggang, she knew Wu Fenggang's plan. Wu Fenggang investigated the general situation of the matter, these long-term workers made trouble, on the one hand, because the owner earned too much, they got too little, thinking that they were deceived by the owner at the beginning, so they quit the tenant field and changed to long-term labor. On the other hand, it was also the restaurant that bought their loaches and eels that was behind the scenes and provoked them to make trouble. After Wu Feng just knew these details, he wanted to take revenge on these greedy guys, but this required the cooperation of the owner. That's why I asked the owner to come over in person.

Wu Fenggang's method of revenge against them is very simple, that is, to clean up all the loaches, yellow eels and lotus roots in the fields first, and then return them to them according to their respective acres before to replant, and those who are willing to continue to follow them are arranged to other farms. After the land was tenanted, it was immediately sold to the owner of the capital who treated the tenants badly. Then exit the place and let them toss and turn.

If they try their best to raise loaches and yellow eels as well, when it is time to harvest, the Wang family's side of the reeds closest to here will supply a large number of supplies here to impact the market, anyway, the Wang family's hot pot restaurant and several restaurants in charge of Li sell special finished dishes, because the taste is good, it can be sold at a high price, and it has little to do with the raw materials, so it does not affect the final income of the Wang family at all. But it can make those greedy guys say that they can't even earn money from loach seedlings and yellow eel seedlings.

Although Er Ya was also very angry about this matter, he was willing to re-lease the land to those long-term workers, and was more willing to sell the field. But she didn't want to follow Wu Fenggang's intentions, go back to the market, and maliciously destroy the dreams of these tenants. It's not that she doesn't do such a thing, but she feels that there is no need for that at all, and these long-term workers don't see through it, because they are in it, and they can sell as much as the master's family raises, and they will find it easy. In fact, how can it be so easy for them to raise loaches and yellow eels? If it's easy, wouldn't those who have their own land also be raised? Maybe some people are timid, but there are no bold!

In any case, first hold a meeting according to what Wu Fenggang said, continue to return the fields to each family, and start to give them tenant seeds at the beginning of spring next year. The original long-term deed signed by Er Ya was withdrawn, and the tenancy deed was re-signed. Most of them happily signed the deed of the tenant land, and only a dozen or so long-term workers expressed their willingness to follow the master's family and continue to work for the master's family. After the New Year, the whole family of these people moved and was arranged by Erya to settle down in Luweidang. Because the scenery and sightseeing of the reeds are getting better and better, and the service facilities in all aspects are also improving, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and filling in the population of these dozen or so families has solved Zhu Changming's big problem.

After Erya took Tian out according to what Wu Fenggang said, she didn't care about the follow-up, and Wu Fenggang handled it. The restaurant that stirred up trouble behind it was handed over to Director Li's subordinates to deal with. Most of the raw materials in the restaurant under the jurisdiction of Director Li are supplied by the Wang family, which is good, fresh, scarce and stable, and will not be out of stock all year round. Even if they didn't look at Director Li's face, they would take the initiative to help the Wang family deal with these short-sighted guys. (To be continued.) )
