Outside the window, Chunlan swept the yard diligently, Lin Xiao and Xu Lang sat in the house for breakfast, Lin Xiao glanced out from time to time, and always felt that this didn't seem to be good.

Xu Lang sighed, "Girl, if you come, you will be safe, we can't change the world, so we can only do our best to adapt to the world." "The life of their family will get better and better, and there will be more and more people in the future, Lin Xiao is always so soft-hearted, but how can it be good.

Lin Xiao poked the rice grains with chopsticks, "I know, but Sister Chunlan ...... her"

"She's no different, and if you don't get used to it, I'll send her away." Xu Lang is not that intolerant character, but he and Lin Xiao have special identities, and in order to avoid trouble, he always has to think more. Who made their little girl a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted girl?

"I recently looked at a grange, there are very few paddy fields, but there is a river over there, I thought, let's hire someone to dig paddy fields ourselves, go back to the imperial court to register, and save a lot of silver." He paused, "When the time comes, send her to the Grange and be a steward or something, and it will be your share." "Lest Lin Xiao feel uncomfortable watching Chunlan work all day long.

Lin Xiao nodded, "That's all it can be." It's not just that she's uncomfortable, these days she looks at it, Chunlan is actually quite uncomfortable. After all, both of them used to be descendants of the Lin family.

Thinking of the Lin family, Lin Xiao frowned again, and always felt that Mingchen was too strange in the Lin family at the beginning. It's a pity that the old man of the Lin family is seriously ill, and she can't ask anything if she wants to.

Forget it, the left and right Mingchen are dead, and she, Lin Xiao, will no longer have anything to do with the Lin family.

Xu Lang smiled and said, "It's okay if you agree, I'll let Chunlan go over when I go back and clean up." "In this way, I am afraid that there will be more people in the family.

The conditions at home were also good, Xu Lang discussed with Lin Xiao to buy two horses and add two carriages, one to pull people, and the other to pull goods. However, neither of them can serve horses, so Xu Lang thought about picking a good dealer when he bought people again.

picked a time to send Chunlan away, and when I bought someone, I only said that I was a distant relative, so no one thought much about it when I left. It's just that there are those who have a lot of thoughts in the village. saw that Chunlan looked good, and once asked someone to test Xu Lang's tone in disguise. I heard that Chunlan is a widow and has no intention of remarrying for the time being, so everyone's thoughts have faded. It didn't take long. Chunlan was forgotten by the big guy.

The grange that Xu Lang bought is not small, a little far away from the Black Bear Ridge, on the other side of the county, it is a good place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers, but the slopes over there are a little high. It's not very regular. In addition, no one has cleaned up the river, and there are large paddy fields, and no one has grown rice here in Youzhou Mansion, and the paddy fields have been flooded.

About 300 acres of mountainous land, because the land is not good, only sold for 500 taels. Xu Lang values the paddy field, and when he negotiates with the head of the household, the land is also ownerless. At the beginning, this mountainous land was also opened by the head of the household himself, and when he bought the mountainous land, he settled in the county government and agreed to package a large piece of paddy field. Xu Lang saw that the surrounding paddy fields were also good, so when he bought the land, he gave twenty taels of silver to the people who kept the guard of the yamen, and allocated more than 100 acres of wasteland into it, most of which were paddy fields.

The little official of the yamen was still a good talker, and for the sake of the more than 20 taels of silver, he persuaded Xu Lang to draw more mountains so that he could plant some fruit trees.

Xu Lang refused with a smile, joke, this land is not far from the county seat. When you look back, you will know how much my twenty taels of silver are worth.

So for five hundred and twenty taels, Xu Lang bought 300 acres of barren mountainous land and nearly 200 acres of paddy fields. The value of this silver spent. Xu Lang has seen the 300 acres of mountainous land, and there is nothing bad about it. It's Youzhou Mansion where they live is mostly flat land, which doesn't look very good, but in fact, if you go inside, it's all mountainous, and people don't grow food the same.

There were already some tenants in the grange, and Xu Lang sent Chunlan there. It's good to let her be an internal manager and not have conflicts with the original person.

Chunlan is also happy to start over in a new place, so she has the best of both worlds.

Lin Xiao and Xu Lang went to the Grange to see it once, so the boss only spent five hundred taels of silver for a place, which means that the vast and sparsely populated Youzhou Mansion has just been established, and it will definitely be more than this price in a few years.

However, it is not easy to clean up the 200 acres of paddy fields, Xu Lang asked, there are few people in the grange who really understand paddy fields, and if they want to plant these fields in the next year, they are afraid that there will be trouble.

However, even if the land is bought, there is no need to worry.

Xu Lang went to the county a few more times, picked a few times, and finally picked a family of four from Cangzhou Mansion, the husband and wife are in their thirties, and the two sons are also strong laborers in their teens. The man's name is Wang Gui, and the daughter-in-law doesn't have a serious name, so she is called Wang Gui's family, the eldest of the two sons is called Wang Zhuzi, and the younger one is called Wang Zhuzi, both of whom are sixteen or seventeen years old when they can eat and work, Xu Lang is quite satisfied, and the two boys are a little bit of a tendon. After asking, I found out that the husband and wife of the Wang family are cousins, no wonder.

Wang Gui's family lives in the gatehouse, Wang Gui's family usually does the work of the inner courtyard, helping Lin Xiao to cook, wash and wash, and the three of them follow Xu Lang, carrying water and chopping firewood on weekdays, seeing that the autumn harvest is over, they have all planted fields and are all good at crops.

Lin Xiao is having a good life now, it's almost the same to open his saliva and stretch out his hand all day without talking about food, and he feels that people are going to be lazy. Fortunately, the autumn harvest is about to begin, and they have to be busy again.

There is no need to be busy at the Autumn Harvest Grange, and it is said that the harvest of this crop is someone else's. Only the land on this side of the house.

The rice was ripe first, and Xu Lang had already agreed with the people of the hunting team that they would still give money every day for two meals.

But just when Xu Lang was about to cut the rice, something happened, Yu Juren's family also had to collect the land, and this year there were not enough people, and he wanted to hire people from the village, so he had already said hello to Lizheng. As a result, He Wennian asked, the big guy had already been set by Xu Lang, He Wennian didn't recruit, and he didn't instruct the people of the hunting team, besides, you and I would like this kind of thing, and Xu Lang hired twenty people.

Originally, there were still sixty or seventy laborers in the village, except for a few families with more fields, and there were also thirty or forty people who went to the people's house. But at this time of year, it is Yu Juren's family that picks strong laborers, but this year it is left by Xu Lang, and the housekeeper over there is a little unhappy, and he has a gun and a stick when he says it.

"This Xu Lang is very powerful, he is young, and he doesn't even give face to our master." Last time, he was beaten by Xu Lang because of the little master's matter, and he was still jealous.

He didn't dare to say this in front of Xu Lang, so he gossiped in the village and deliberately said it ugly. (To be continued.) )
