Chapter 198: The People's Village

Chen Chu explained that the first batch of potatoes he planted by himself was due to the limited land in Sinong Temple, and the potatoes he directly exchanged were ripe fruits, and the seeds cultivated by the land did not have a good effect, so he had to plant a large number of them himself.

He has no shortage of food, clothing, and money, and the 5,000 acres of land are completely based on his heart, and he can plant whatever he wants.

At this moment, some people came from the direction of the grange, it turned out that the tenant farmers knew that Chen Chu had come to inspect, and some farmers came to visit Chen Chu organized by the famous village elders.

Chen Chu and the others took a rough turn on the mountain, Chen Chu was still very satisfied with the scenery here, there was everything, and it looked kind and natural.

He met the men at the bottom of the mountain and asked to go to the farm to have a look.

Zhuang Lao Qinpu was elected by many farmers, he was literate, and when he was young, he accumulated virtue and did good, and he was more famous, he was embarrassed: "My lord, the farms are places where some rough people live, and chaos cannot be ......seen."

Looking at this fifty or sixty-year-old old man, Chen Chu shook his head, saying that he insisted on going over, joking, his tenant farmers were equivalent to workers, and he must have checked their living conditions.

The Grange is located in the middle of the 5,000 acres of land, and there is a river nearby, and when they arrived, most of the farmers had already returned from the fields, with their wives and children, looking at Chen Chu in awe.

This Lord Chen is not only the master of their fields, but also a famous big man in Chang'an City, I heard that even the emperor calls him a brother and sister, this level of big man is no longer something they can imagine.

Chen Chu took a look, the situation of the farmers was fine, there were few vegetables on their faces, many young and strong farmers were still strong, but the clothes, shoes and hats on their bodies were shabby, and there was no new and neat furniture in each household.

The houses and dwellings are also as congested and dilapidated as seen from a distance, and it can only be said that they do not worry about food, but they are very poor, and their lives are naturally very hard.

In another ten years, when the effect of Zhenguan prosperity is fully revealed, the world will become rich, and these farmers will have some surplus money to buy furniture and clothes, enough to buy toys for children.

Only now, they just have enough to eat.

"Your name is Qin Pu, right, does this farm have a name?" Chen Chu asked.

Qin Pu said cautiously: "We tenant farmers all came here a few months ago, and this village has no name, and the farmers have their surnames or anything. ”

Chen Chu said: "Then it's better to call the farm the people's village, in the future, you will be the owner of the village here in Qinpu, as long as you don't leave, you can live here forever to help me farm." ”

Chen Chu's words fell, and everyone knelt down and kowtowed in thanks, when the land is the lifeblood of the peasants, these vast lands can be rewarded to Chen Chu by the imperial court, which shows its excellence.

Moreover, Chen Chu's taxes for these farmers are very low, and they grow potatoes directly as soon as they come up, so it is difficult for them to imagine how much grain they can earn when they harvest.

Such a good thing also makes them afraid, for fear that they will be driven away at that time, and in exchange for better farmers to farm, after all, who is not jealous of such a good thing.

This is farming for Lord Chen! Hearing that Chen Chu allowed them to stay forever, everyone was very grateful.

They all remembered the name of the farm, and in the future this small village was called the People's Village! Qin Pu is the owner!

Chen Chu smiled: "I'll ask Luo Wu to send you some things over when I go back, money, food, and use, you are my Chen Chu's people, don't live this kind of miserable life in the future, look at this little girl, how beautiful she is, but her clothes are full of patches." ”

Chen Chu stretched out her hand to hold a nine-year-old and ten-year-old girl with pigtails, she was very cute, although she had suffered a lot with her parents, she could also see that she was a beauty, but unfortunately the clothes on her body were patched.

The little girl was held by Chen Chu, very nervous, her body was constantly trembling, Qin Pu hurriedly told her not to be afraid, Lord Chen is the best good person in the world.

Chen Chu didn't communicate with them too much, because these farmers were too reserved, and the longer he stayed, the more nervous they became.

We must make them rich and the harvest will be good, so that we can change our opinion of him, and the next time he comes, he will support him from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Chu himself was an ordinary person in his previous life, and his parents and grandparents had only been separated from the land for one or two generations, don't look at the life he is living now, the gods are envious, but he still stands on the side of ordinary people in his heart.

"My lord is really kind!"

Han Ding said with emotion, as His Majesty's left and right guard generals, he has seen too many big people, no one has the power and status that Chen Chu is invisible now, and no powerful person is so good as an ordinary farmer.

Mu Lingtong and others were the same, she looked at Chen Chu with bright eyes, and a good feeling arose in her heart.

After playing for a while, Chen Chu and the others were going back, Mu Lingtong and the others went to get their belongings and horses, and then moved to the Chen Mansion to live, while Chen Chu and the others went straight back to the house.

After going back, he saw Jiujiang's sister's carriage, and knew that she was coming, so he was in a good mood and hurried to the living room, stopped the car and patted the dust on his body to come in.

Princess Jiujiang, who was sipping tea, stood up, glanced at him and said, "Chen Chu, you are now a dignified person, what do you say like this?" ”

If you want to be a colt in the future, you have to be decent in everything, right?

Jiujiang thinks that the BMW is good, but it is not very elegant to run anywhere in the dust, and it is all over the body.

Chen Chu complained: "You can't blame me, it's all because the land is too poor, and the emperor will only enjoy not doing things, otherwise why don't you pave the slate and brick roads everywhere." ”

Jiujiang: She can't continue to talk about the topic of "......", obviously Chen Chu is still a little resentful of the imperial brother now.

But now he has already scolded, Jiujiang has always felt that he seems to be not short of all kinds of materials, and it seems that he takes out more than what Tuli asks for every day, so he wants to ask his opinion, so that the imperial brother can be less difficult and have a punctual message as soon as possible.

Chen Chu touched his chin, went out and walked around in a good mood, forget it, follow this dog emperor.

"I want another 5,000 acres of land, and I will expand it from the land in the east of my city, and I will also need farm tools, bricks and tiles and other building materials, and in addition, I will prepare more silk and other things."

Chen Chu took the initiative to put forward the conditions, and he was quite satisfied with the land in the east of the city, because there were enough cattle, and 5,000 mu was nothing to the peasant households of more than 200 people's villages, and if it was increased to 10,000 mu, each of them would need to cultivate more than 40 mu.

The bigger the land, the more tired it will be, but the harvest will also be very large, and other bricks and building materials, etc., he gave to those peasant households, asking them to build a clean, beautiful and tidy people's village, and no longer live in those adobe houses.

As for silk and the like, Datang is not like the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is circulated in silver, silk is still the main way of trading, it is hard currency, this thing is used to reward people, or it is very good to use it yourself, and there are many points.
