Fu Xiaoguan was very surprised, took the booklet and did not open it, and asked, "What if that chick ...... How to deal with the noble person who came to you directly? ”

Fu Daguan smiled indifferently, "So, I have to come out and hide for my father." This kind of thing is liked by others, but your father and I don't have that mind. ”

He stretched his body, his eyebrows were slightly solemn, "The granary of the world is in the south of the Yangtze River, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and the climate is excellent, since the Yu Dynasty was built, the land in the south of the Yangtze River has realized the rotation of rice and wheat, of which rice is two crops a year, although its yield is not as good as one in the north of the Yangtze River, but the total yield is six or seven percent higher. ”

"This time, the nobles came to Linjiang and wanted to accept Linjiang grain merchants into the imperial merchants...... I am afraid that this matter is related to the war in the north. ”

When Fu Xiaoguan first arrived, there was no such information in the previous memory of this body, and he asked, "Is there a war in the north?" ”

"Before it started, the northern wilderness people originally lived on horses and were nomadic in the grasslands. Since Yu Chaotaihe three years later, but settled down - that is, north of Yanshan Pass, decades ago, according to the traveling merchants, that side has formed a city, the desolate people called Shangdu, the capital of the desolate country. ”

"There were several places north of Yanshan Pass where our Han people gathered, which were originally used by the Han people to trade with the barren people, but with the settlement of the barren people, these trade places were all destroyed - the barren people were barbaric, they did not farm, and they only liked to plunder. In the thirteenth year of Taihe, the desolate people once went south, broke the Yanshan Pass, burned and looted all the way to Xinzhou City, the Xiongcheng of Dayu Beidi, and was defeated by the 300,000 army led by the general of Zhenxi, who was waiting here. ”

"After the general of Zhenxi Peng Tu defeated the desolate people, he waved his army to the north, and chased and killed the desolate people in the grassland for three years, until the original leader of the desolate people, Tuoba Bu, wrote a letter of surrender, respected my Dayu as his father, and promised never to be a fanbian, General Peng only collected his troops and returned to the south, since then, the desolate people have been honest, and the two dynasties have been peaceful for decades."

"Now...... There are rumors that the desolate people are ready to move again, and there are also rumors that the desolate people have stopped paying tribute for two years, and I am afraid that there will be another war. ”

Fu Daguan stroked his short beard and said with a smile: "It's none of our business, the desolate people are like chickens and dogs, and if I go to the heavenly soldiers, I will destroy the withered and decayed." Although our dynasty has had occasional disputes with the Wu Dynasty in the south, the Yi State in the east, and the Fan State in the west, there has been no major war, and the treasury should be full. If it succeeds, of course, it is the ability of the nobles, if it doesn't work, who will deal with a woman who has just reached the line. ”

There is a reason for that.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't know much about this world, so he didn't pay any attention to it, and lowered his head and opened the booklet in his hand.

This is the land counted by the landlord's family, and the tenants who are now responsible for cultivating it.

The dense numbers and names made Fu Xiaoguan's scalp tingle, but he still read it, after all, ...... These fields and the people on them will be their own!

The convoy had already left Linjiang City, walking on the dirt road that was not spacious and uneven, Fu Xiaoguan looked up and looked out the window, and saw that the farmers in the nearby rice fields were busy planting seedlings, and in the slightly higher ground in the distance, the wheat ears had been yellowed, the wind was rising, the wheat waves were lightly rolling, wanton and comfortable stretching, it was a beautiful picture.

……

Every time the convoy passed through a small village, Fu Daguan and Fu Xiaoguan would go to the village to sit down, chat with the patriarch about this year's harvest, and send some festive items by the way, such as zongzi, such as a knife of pork, such as a basket of candy and so on.

Fu Xiaoguan followed all the way, smiling, did not interject, listened quietly, and only stood up when his father introduced him to the patriarch, and greeted the other party very respectfully.

This made many people, including Yi Yu and many nurses who accompanied him, very surprised, and although these patriarchs had heard about the Shaodong family's style of behavior, they saw it at this moment, but they felt that it was really a matter of hearing.

The old owner is a very good owner, and the young owner at least looks very good, which is very good for these patriarchs.

After all, these villages, large or small, are dependent on the Fu family to survive, so it seems that this day will not change much in the future.

As the day deepened, the convoy came to a halt in a valley.

There was a nursing home burying a pot by the stream to make rice, and Fu Xiaoguan came to the stream to wash his face.

The wind passed through the valley, bringing coolness, and the slight heat was removed.

A servant brought two chairs from the carriage, and the father and son sat side by side, facing the water.

"Why don't you eat in the village?"

"After all, there is a difference in identity, and besides, those who eat ...... It's really not tasty. ”

Fu Xiaoguan's mind swept over the pictures of those villages.

There were ragged children hiding in the corner of the grass hut and watching them secretly, and there were rickety old people sitting under the earthen wall catching lice and basking in the sun.

Except for the barking of the dogs when they first entered the village, the rest of the time seemed very quiet—there was no one in the village except the old and the young, and those who could work were in the fields.

This is what they depend on for survival, and nothing is more important than farming, as for the Dragon Boat Festival...... If you can't eat, how can you come to the Dragon Boat Festival.

"They're having a hard time."

Fu Daguan turned his head and glanced at Fu Xiaoguan, a little puzzled.

"The tenants account for 20% of the land, the government pays 30% of the taxes, and my Fu family only has 50% left...... Why do you say that one of the sufferings comes from? Compared with the rest of the landlords, the Fu family has already given half of the tenants more, and they cultivate and work carefully, at least without worrying about food and clothing. ”

Fu Xiaoguan did not argue with Fu Daguan about this issue, after all, he was an outsider, and he did not know how much grain these two percent were.

"I'm just feeling it, just talk about it."

"Sympathy for this kind of emotion can be had, but not over, son, we are landlords after all, the field is bought by us with real money, and there is no difference between doing business, there should be a harvest if we invest, we are not good people, but if there is a disaster year, we will still do some good deeds, but this year is good, they can collect an extra three or five buckets, and we can also collect so many three or five buckets."

Fu Xiaoguan nodded.

He got up and moved his muscles, but suddenly stood still, looking at the hillside a little farther away.

The trees on the hillside were sparsely scattered, and I saw two figures running quickly, and I heard the sound of tinkling gold and iron.

The distance is a little far, and the sound is light after all.

Some guards also noticed the fight there, so they carried a knife and guarded the side of the big and small landlords.

Fu Xiaoguan opened his mouth in surprise, and saw the two figures flying around and the sword shining in the sunlight for a few breaths.

"That's?"

Zhang Tiedonkey, the leader of the guards, was a little nervous, he stared at the fight, and replied: "That's a strong man in the green forest, the young master is at ease, I have a lot of people, and the old master and the young master will be protected." ”

The two people on the mountainside didn't care about the group in the valley, and the one in front seemed to have been hit by a sword, and he ran away with his sword. It was supposed to be a woman in the back, because she was dressed in green. Fu Xiaoguan chased after her when he saw her raising his sword, and disappeared into the mountains and wilderness.

Zhang Tiedonkey put his mind at ease and said to Fu Xiaoguan: "The strongman has gone, it should be a grievance in the rivers and lakes." ”

Fu Xiaoguan thinks about that martial arts, light skills, the kind that can really fly!

Even if he was extremely powerful in his previous life, this thing does exist in legends.

Now it seems that there is this world.

Interesting.

This was an unexpected episode on the way, and Fu Daguan had limited knowledge of the Green Forest, in Fu Daguan's words...... Unless the world changes, there will be no intersection between us and them, and it is better not to have any intersection at all.

But Fu Xiaoguan is concerned about this matter, without it, he just wants to learn light skills - that flying-like feeling.

After dinner, we set off and went on as usual.

When I was on the road, I read the pamphlets, and when I arrived at the village, I greeted the patriarch and the villagers to show their concern for the tenants.

In the evening, the convoy arrived at the largest market town of the trip, Xiacun.

"This whole market town is our family!"

Fu Daguan pulled forward and said proudly.

The group did not stay in the market town, but went to the south, which was a different business with mountains and rivers in the background.

"This was built by your mother back then, and she said that the scenery here is very good, but in fact, the real reason is that there is our family's largest granary in the lower village, as well as our family's other industry, the wine factory."

Looking at it from afar, Fu Xiaoguan only felt that this courtyard covered a wide area, and when the river came over and was closer, he felt that this courtyard was actually quite majestic.

It was surrounded by a high dark red wall, with watchtowers and arrow towers, and people patrolling them.

"This other industry is named Xishan Courtyard, the granary and the winery are in it, and there are three hundred guards stationed - these three hundred guards are all retired from the army, the leader Bai Yulian, who once served in the Western Border Army, was a lieutenant and retired in the fifth year of Xuanli."

"Female?"

Fu Daguan shook his head, "Man." ”

"It is said that ...... This Bai Yulian is strong in martial arts, and she studied under the Sword Mountain - South Sword Mountain and North Sword Forest, as if they said so, I once asked, Bai Xiaolian did not answer, this person, his temper is a little weird, but there is no need to question his loyalty. ”

Fu Xiaoguan became interested in this man named Bai Yulian, one of which was the name, and the other was that he knew martial arts.

The group entered the gate of the Xishan Courtyard, and the housekeeper here had already ushered in them, and took Fu Daguan and Fu Xiaoguan to the inner courtyard.

The gap between the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard was quite open, and there were guards patrolling in an orderly manner with ten people, apparently not slacking off because the head of the house was not here.

The inner courtyard has another world, pavilions, small bridges and corridors, there are streams and streams, and there are overflowing flowers.

In this case, it is the residence of the head of the family in the West Mountain Annex.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't see Bai Yulian.

The housekeeper, Zhang Ce, said that he should be in the winery.

It's time to settle down and have dinner.

Fu Xiaoguan stood on the second floor, leaning against the fence and looking at this huge courtyard in the cool night breeze, thinking that if this was in his previous life...... How much should it be worth?

Smiled dumbly.

Looking up, the crescent moon hangs in the sky, decorating countless stars.

Looking down, a lantern lit up among the cornices.

A man sits on the cornice, carrying a jug of wine in his hand, and also looks at the moon in the sky.

It's like a ...... Lone wolf.
