Liu Pei said with a smile after Fang Degang finished saying his hard work: "Brother Guiren, if you are so open to let Lord Wang help, are you not afraid that he will take your position?" You must know that Lord Wang has been an official for many years, and his experience in officialdom and governing places is much deeper than yours! ”

As a result, Fang Degang's old god said: "Don't be afraid!" He's a relative! ”

In a word, Liu Pei's face was flushed! What Fang Degang said is indeed right, judging from the current situation, if nothing else, Wang Changde will definitely be able to agree to Liu Pei and Wang Ya's family affairs! After all, the status of a Ryukyu king is much higher than that of a Jiaozhou garrison! As long as Wang Changde nodded, his daughter's proper position as a princess would be in hand! Although it is said that the Ryukyu Kingdom is a little smaller, it is also the lord of a country, and Wang Changde can't be moved!

And Wang Changde is the father of Wang Ya. After Wang Ya married Liu Pei, Wang Changde was the national ruler. Who will let him preside over the government at that time? That's something that absolutely can't happen. After all, everyone knows the evil consequences of the rise of relatives in power in history. That's why Fang De was so calm just now.

A few days later, Liu Pei came to Baihua Village. This Baihua Village is a new village, founded by immigrants from Shandong. The village chief is Zhao Youfu and the militia captain Huang Qingshan. Finally, the name was calculated by everyone. Because when they arrived here, it happened to be in full bloom, so everyone named Baihua Village.

When Liu Pei arrived at the village with his guards, the slaves of the village were working underground. Seeing a large group of people in fresh clothes and angry horses, they all stopped what they were doing and watched. And Zhao Youfu and Huang Qingshan, who were the principals in the village, naturally greeted them.

Liu Pei was still on the horse, but Huang Qingshan's eyes were sharp and he directly recognized Liu Pei. Huang Qingshan was happy in his heart, and finally saw the head of the family again! But when he saw the mud on his body, he hurriedly tidied up his clothes. By the time he stood up straight, Liu Pei's horse had already approached.

Huang Qingshan snapped, tried to make a stand with his heels, and said loudly: "Tell the master!" Huang Qingshan, a member of the first team of Jiading Qianzi, pays tribute to the head of the family! ”

Liu Pei jumped off the horse, glanced at Huang Qingshan's left leg, and immediately returned the salute. After the two sides finished saluting, they withdrew their arms, and Liu Pei said: "I remember you, when you broke your left leg and cried like something!" Don't cry now? ”

Huang Qingshan glanced at Zhao Youfu embarrassedly. In the past, Huang Qingshan appeared as a tough guy, but he didn't want to be revealed by Liu Pei today. And at this time, Zhao Youfu was already dumbfounded! He didn't hear Huang Qingshan say how the head of the family was, how the head of the family was. Of course, God knows that the head of the family in Huang Qingshan's mouth is the future King of the Ryukyus. Now he heard Huang Qingshan shouting that the young man opposite was the head of the family, how could he not guess that the person in front of him was Liu Pei

！

Huang Qingshan blushed and said, "Family Master, how many years ago was that?" Now that I haven't cried for a long time, the head of the house should save me some face! The little one is now the captain of the militia! ”

Liu Pei patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Okay, let's not mention it!" Tell me when your family is going to come to Ryukyu? ”

Huang Qingshan was happy to mention this! Gesturing and saying, "It's already arranged!" It is said that it is coming in December, and it is just not long before the New Year comes! And my eldest brother and sister-in-law also decided to come together. Anyway, they also planted on the land of the tenants, and they were hungry and full. Why don't you come here and join me! I have 50 acres of land, and half of him is enough for him to plant! When I save some more money, and then go to open up the wasteland, I don't believe that I can't be a landlord! ”

Liu Pei laughed when he heard this, and said, "Good ambition! However, I think you should learn more to read and write, and develop as a political official in the future. I need a lot of people to help me with my affairs. ”

Huang Qingshan said: "I'm learning! Learning! There was a gentleman sent from above, and he came once every five days. We learned a lot along with it. I just don't know when a school will be built in the village? ”

Liu Pei said: "There will be, everything will be!" Don't worry! ”

Then he turned his head and said to Zhao Youfu: "Are you Zhao Youfu?" I heard that you took the initiative to apply to come overseas to open up wasteland? It's courageous! ”

Zhao Youfu originally wanted to brag, but when he saw Liu Pei's eyes, he couldn't help but tell the truth! said: "Actually, the villain was also timid at the beginning and didn't dare to come!" It's all my uncle who said that it was a good thing to come overseas to open up the wasteland! That's why we came overseas to open up wasteland. ”

Liu Pei nodded and said, "Then it's good that you can have the courage to go to sea!" But what do you think of getting here? Can you still adapt? ”

Zhao Youfu said excitedly: "Okay! I can adapt it! And the land here is very fertile! We will have a good harvest this year! ”

Liu Pei said in surprise: "Really? Doesn't it mean that the first year of land reclamation is a loss of money? How do you get a good harvest? ”

Zhao Youfu said: "The raw land is indeed the raw land, but if you are diligent and get rid of it without waiting for the grass to grow, you can still have a harvest!" It's just too tiring! No, I have been urging everyone to work hard this year, at least this year, it will not be a problem to collect more than half of next year's rations! ”

Liu Pei was very satisfied with this. If everyone contributes to Zhao Youfu and can grow a part of their own rations, then the pressure on Liu Pei will be much lighter! Liu Pei said to the guards beside him: "You go back and tell Mr. Fang to ask him to investigate the grain production at each station."

Production. If you receive more, you will receive more subsidies next year. If you receive less, find out the reason, and if you are lazy, you will postpone the deadline for releasing good. In addition, in each cantonment this year, the three cantonments with the highest harvest have all the slaves in them! ”

When Liu Pei saw the guards leaving, he turned around and asked, "How are those slave-status victims?" Still obedient? ”

Zhao Youfu said: "In the past, the work was just average. Later, when I heard that the king was going to ascend the throne, maybe I would give amnesty to the world. Everyone was ready to work. I want to get a civil registration as soon as possible, so that I can plant land for a few years, and then I will have my own land! What, my lord, will you grant amnesty to the world when you ascend the throne? ”

Liu Pei said: "Yes." But not all of them. We will select some people who work hard and work sincerely. As for those who are lazy and do not obey management, they are not among the good. ”

Zhao Youfu patted his thigh and said, "That's great!" By the way, my lord, can I tell the people in the village about this? So that they can have a hope! ”

Liu Pei said: "Of course you can say it! Tell them that my words count! ”

Zhao Youfu was so happy that he didn't know what to do, and he was so excited that he danced. Liu Pei was amused by his appearance and said, "Zhao Youfu, you are the village chief, I came to you, you always have to take me around, right?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Youfu woke up like a dream. So he immediately bowed down and Liu Pei went into the village to go around. So he and Huang Qingshan led the way in front, and the guards surrounded Liu Pei and walked into the village.

After entering the village, Liu Pei looked around and found that the village was very simple at present. There are only a lot of small cabins erected, and the distance between them is still relatively long. Zhao Youfu explained: "King, this village looks a little rotten, and this is also a matter of no way. Most of the people in our village are busy farming, and only a small part is allocated to build houses. My request to everyone is to build a small house that can live in it, and it will be enough to survive this winter. This year, the main thing is to raise the land, and next year you will be able to live a good life! Anyway, the residential land of each house has already been drawn. ”

Only then did Liu Pei understand why the spacing between these cabins was so large, it turned out to be a courtyard for everyone. However, there are no courtyard walls yet. When the fence yard is put up, it will be a normal farmhouse. When the time comes, plant some onions and garlic in the small yard, and raise some chickens and ducks, and a strong pastoral style will completely appear.

Liu Pei stood here and imagined the pastoral scene of Baihua Village in the future, and felt very satisfied. Then he said, "Go, go up to the field, and see." Blessed are the villagers, how are the villagers eating now? ”
