Chapter 9 Enclosure

After spending 2,000 gold and buying 3,000 acres of land from a small scholar, Lin Yang thought about the next development.

In the past, after graduating from college, I had nothing to do, I wanted to be comfortable for a while, and I was not in a hurry to find a job. I didn't expect that it was only a few days after I got the divine ring, and I felt like I was busy like a dog.

Now that the enclosure has been carried out, the next step is to recruit some displaced people and train a force for the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the near future.

In addition, I have to go to Luoyang and buy an official.

This official is not for anything else, just to be famous in the next Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Lin Yang didn't want to be like Liu Bei, recruited some soldiers, and relied on the name of a Han clan to make a lot of contributions in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but in the end, he was looked down upon because of a "white body". In the end, because he had no money to do it, he made a lot of meritorious deeds, and he only got a county lieutenant.

We are rich people, why do we have to buy a county too guarded!

Lin Yang bought the land, but he hadn't gone to his own land to see it, so he simply called Zhang Fei and went together.

The 3,000 acres of land purchased by Lin Yang were located twenty miles outside the west of the city, and he and Zhang Fei took a carriage and took half an hour to arrive here.

This is not the first time Lin Yang has sat in the carriage, he has recently sold wine in the city, bought land, etc., all of which are used by carriages, but this carriage is rickety and very uncomfortable to sit on, mainly because the road is not good.

Lin Yang didn't have the consciousness to pay for road repairs, he and Zhang Fei got out of the carriage, looked at the endless fields, and said in their hearts that this is my brother's land! If this is placed in modern times, how can it be so enclosed?

One acre is more than 600 square meters. 3,000 acres, nearly 2 million square meters.

Seeing that winter is about to begin, the crops in the 3,000 acres of fields have been harvested by the previous owner, leaving Lin Yang with only land and some tenants.

The tenant lived in a village of 3,000 acres of land, which belonged to the previous owner, and was responsible for farming for the master, but now it belongs to Lin Yang.

People are sold as livestock, and they are given away for nothing as if they don't need money, that is, in the late Han Dynasty. And these tenants can help their masters farm the land and have something to eat, which is much better than those homeless people who starve to death.

Lin Yang and Zhang Fei walked for more than half an hour before they reached the village where the tenant was located, and as soon as they entered the village, they saw hundreds of people gathered in a clearing in the village.

One of the old men, when he saw Lin Yang and Zhang Fei coming, hurriedly greeted him.

"You're the new owner of this field?" The old man saluted and asked respectfully.

"In Xia Lin Yang, it is the new owner of this field." Lin Yang nodded, and said in his heart that the tenants here had already known that the owner had changed, and looking at this, it seemed that he was waiting for his own inspection.

Seeing Lin Yang's admission, the old man immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Eighty-two tenant farmers in Xiting Village, three hundred and seventeen people, have seen the new master. ”

Hundreds of people behind the old man also knelt down, and the voice of "I have seen the new master" was endless.

The tenant farmer was the private property of the "landlord", and even if he killed him, it was not illegal, that is, this life had been sold to Lin Yang.

"Hurry up, old man!" It was the first time Lin Yang had seen this kind of scene, hundreds of people knelt down for him, and he was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man, Nima! Folding longevity!

Lin Yang's support scared the old man a lot, it was the first time he had seen such a modest and polite master.

Lin Yang was not stupid, but a smart man, looking at the surprised expressions of the old man and hundreds of people, he coughed lightly and said, "Everyone get up!" In the future, you don't have to kneel and bow at every turn. ”

Everyone was a little surprised, and they just thought that the new master did not like the bow ceremony.

Zhang Fei interjected on the side: "My eldest brother doesn't like vulgar etiquette, so you don't have to kneel down at every turn in the future!" ”

After a few days of contact, Zhang Fei also knew a little about the maverick Lin Yang, and his opening made hundreds of tenant farmers understand.

Lin Yang looked at the old man who seemed to be the head of the village and asked, "What is the old man's surname?" ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Don't dare, the old man's surname is Qin, and his name is a good word." ”

Lin Yang nodded and said, "Old Qin, take me around the village!" ”

"Untouchables dare not be called so by their masters." Qin Lao was frightened again.

Looking at Qin Lao's reaction, Lin Yang shook his head helplessly, the times are like this, he didn't have the heart to care about these vulgar rites, and walking to the village now is related to the next plan.

Hundreds of tenant farmers got out of the way, Zhang Fei followed, and Qin Lao hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.

Lin Yang walked around the village, and those simple and dilapidated houses made him unbearable to look at them directly, Nima! Almost every house has a skylight! If this is placed in modern times, all of them are dilapidated houses.

In the past, he didn't feel anything in the city, but now that he saw the dilapidated villages and malnourished tenant farmers, Lin Yang felt for the first time that he had an extra responsibility.

He didn't know where this responsibility came from, but he really existed.

Walking around the village, Lin Yang already knew what to do next, which was to build houses, absorb displaced people, and form troops.

There is no conflict between building a house and absorbing displaced people, you can use the absorbed displaced people to build a house, and the hundreds of people in Xiting Village, as well as the old and young, do not know how to build until the Year of the Monkey.

Walking to a large house, Lin Yang looked at this intact house, which was completely different from the houses in the village that had opened skylights, and couldn't help asking, "What is this house for?" Where did the original owner live? ”

Qin Lao said: "Master, this is the warehouse where the grain is stored, and there are more than a hundred stones of grain in it, which were left by the previous master. ”

"Go in and have a look." Lin Yang didn't know how much grain this stone was.

The door was pushed open, Lin Yang walked into the warehouse, and saw more than 100 loads of grain placed in the corner, and each load of grain was visually measured to be more than 100 catties, that is, the unit of measurement in the Han Dynasty, one stone.

More than 100 stone of grain and more than 10,000 catties of rations were piled up in the corner of the warehouse, which was not very inconspicuous, but only occupied a small part of the warehouse.

Lin Yang said with a smile: "It seems that Deng Zhi's house is not bad, and he left me more than a hundred stones of grain." ”

Qin Lao said cautiously on the side: "Master, this more than 100 stones of grain was left behind by the previous master, because there were not enough cars and horses to transport it. ”

When Lin Yang heard this, Nima and Bai praised Deng Zhi's house, and the feeling was that his brother was amorous, so he used 2,000 gold to buy the 3,000 acres of land from Deng Zhi.

Zhang Fei listened and laughed on the side.

Lin Yang looked at more than 100 stones of grain, and thought to himself that although this more than 10,000 catties of grain is a lot, with the recruitment of displaced people and the construction of houses, it is still not enough to eat, and there is a long way to go!

Fortunately, my brother is not short of money!
