The whole farm is backed by a large hill, the top of the hill is high in the west and low in the east, surrounded by cliffs on three sides, only the east side is connected to a large open area in front of the mountain in the form of a gap. The farm was built on the east side of the mountain pass, and a road leading to the hill in the middle divides the farm into two sides, each with a dozen dilapidated farm yards. The road extends eastward, and at the end is the village gate where he stands. The whole Zhuangzi is surrounded by a low earthen wall, which extends from both sides to meet the mountain, and then extends to the mountain. There is a fence made of wooden fence on the side of the mountain, which is roughly blocked by a row, perhaps to prevent wild animals from entering the village. With such a layout and such a topography, if the village wall is thicker and taller, the village gate is stronger, this is a natural barracks. Easy to defend, the mountain behind can store grain, and the high place can be built to build a lookout. There must be mountain springs in the mountains, and there is a natural water source that leads down, and they are not afraid of poisoning. You can even use the height difference to direct it to each house and turn it into tap water!! The road under the foot extends straight out for four miles to connect with the official road, and it is widened and hardened in the future, and the traffic is very convenient.

After seeing the outside of the village, the group entered the village with the willow river. Sewage flows sideways, the smell is stinking, and man, animal and animal feces can be seen everywhere on the roadside. Unclothed, dirty children are running around, and occasionally farmers appear in ragged clothes, skinny as wood, and their eyes do not have any brilliance. This is the first impression of Zheng Yu when he enters the village. Maybe most of the poor people in this era are like this, Zheng Yu didn't feel disgusted. They are all poor people, not that they are lazy, and it is not that they do not work hard. At the bottom of the feudal society, the body is crawling with the parasites of the blood-sucking scholar class, officials, and big landlords, but what they have worked hard in exchange for is that they can't even fill their stomachs, so they can only live like this. The Han people are actually the loveliest, they don't have too high requirements, they just hope to have a bite to eat, not to starve, to be able to feed their families, no matter how hard and tired they are, they will not raise a butcher's knife to the people who exploit them. Even these humble aspirations often turn into extravagant hopes.

It doesn't matter, since I, Zheng Yu, are here, I can't manage it anywhere else, but in this one-third of an acre of land that I fancie, as long as you abide by the law and work hard to live, I will never treat you badly. There is no problem with brocade clothes and jade food, but there is meat to eat, clothes to wear, warm winters, and cold springs.

Walking all the way to the foot of the mountain, Zheng Yu was surprised to find that there was a sound of rushing water in the mountain, and the water flow was not small!! Rushing into the mountain, I finally found three large spring pools connected from top to bottom halfway up the mountain. At the top of the top pool, there are two rocks poured together to form a gap about 30 centimeters wide and about 1 meter high, and the cold spring water gushes out from it, and it is nearly 2 meters away before forming a column of water that falls into the spring pool below. At this rate and flow, there must be a large spring in the crevice, which may be an outlet for groundwater on the ground. The bottom of the three pools flows into the mountain through a gap.

There is enough water here to wash out all the 1,000 acres of land. Since it is located halfway up the mountain, it is much easier to divert water. This is really a piece of feng shui treasure, don't look at it, just it, go back immediately, no matter how much it costs to take this place.

Thinking of this, he quickly urged Liu He to go home and discuss the transfer with Liu Yun, and on the way back, Liu He talked about Zhuangzi's situation in detail. The whole farm, not even the mountain, covers a total area of 980 acres. Although the mountain does not belong to Zhuangzi, there is only one way to go up the mountain, which is through the road in the middle of Zhuangzi, and the other entrances are either surrounded by the village wall or cliffs. Therefore, it is basically the territory of Zhuangzi. Among them, the residential area of Zhuangzi covers an area of about 40 acres. To the north of the residential area, there are 76 acres of arable land, and there are only 13 households in the whole Zhuangzi, with a population of 52 and 16 strong laborers. 2 ploughing cattle. Not to mention that there was no output for four years under Liu Yun's name, he had to subsidize food every year, otherwise he would starve to death. I plan to disperse the villagers to other Zhuangzi next year, the scenery of this place is not bad, and I am ready to build a house, and Liu Yun will move to the elderly in the future.

Listening all the way, Zheng Yu already had a rough plan in his mind. When I got home, I went straight to the living room, and when I went in, I saw that Liu Manwen and her mother were also there, and there was Liu Hongguo standing on the side. It turned out that there was a son who didn't know what was going to hold a poetry party, and Liu Manwen came to her father to sponsor her.

Zheng Yu was a little embarrassed, and said hello in turn after entering. Liu Manwen still nodded lightly in response, without raising his eyes. Zheng Yu had something in his heart at this time, and he didn't care anymore, he was used to it.

Liu Yun said: "Virtuous nephew, after seeing what Zhuangzi thinks, is it a big disappointment, hahaha, let's listen to my uncle's words and find another place." ”

Zheng Yu didn't go back directly, but asked Liu Manwen: "Eh, can you finish the matter of Sister Manwen?" Unexpectedly, Liu Manwen was robbed by Liu Yun before he answered.

"What's wrong with her, it's just that a group of children are going to hold a poetry gathering in front of the autumn festival and exchange pre-exam matters with each other. As he spoke, he glared at Liu Manwen. Liu Manwen pouted aggrievedly and did not speak.

In fact, Liu Manwen often participated in this kind of thing in the past, otherwise how could she have the title of the second talented woman. Liu Yun didn't care about the money, she didn't support it, but she didn't object to it, as long as her daughter opened her mouth, she agreed to go to the account room to withdraw it herself. The reason why he has repeatedly refused to allow it today is that now that Zheng Yu is here, Liu Yun has the intention of marrying his daughter to him, if Liu Manwen still goes to that kind of place full of men, Liu Yun is afraid that Zheng Yu will be unhappy. In fact, Zheng Yu doesn't care at all, where do you like to go, it's my business. I used to think that the girl was beautiful, and she was her own sister-in-law, so she should let it go. Later, I found out that this girl has to inch in, and she always puts on a dead face to show herself, and good people are used to it. I still don't want to deal with you!!

Liu Yun continued: "Virtuous nephew, you talk about your business first, she will talk about it later." Liu Manwen, who was in a word, was not in or out, sitting on the side and sulking, "It's all to blame for this scoundrel, he doesn't have anything to do if he doesn't come." Zheng Yu sneezed twice in a row.

Seeing this, Zheng Yu simply talked about his own business first: "Uncle, the little nephew has made up his mind, if you don't want this village, you can sell it to the little nephew at a price?" After some Xiaozhi with emotion and sweet words, Liu Yun finally relented, but he definitely didn't charge a penny. Because Liu Yun always felt that this was throwing a big burden to Zheng Yu, and Zheng Yu did it completely for himself, and the boss was moved. After a war of words, the two sides reached an agreement.

Liu Yun transferred the entire farm to Zheng Yu along with the farmers and the property in the village (in fact, two lean oxen). And a small courtyard at the south gate of the city is attached, which is a small courtyard, and eight large and small houses surround a small courtyard as soon as you enter the door. After Zheng Yu's house in Datong was sold, the money invested in Liu Yun's business as share capital was distributed every year. This is a good uncle, and Zheng Yu earns money inside and out. I can't shirk it, it's a big deal to compensate the old man in other ways in the future.

The matter was finalized, Zheng Yu took out the money bag, and after fumbling for a long time, he took out two ingots of silver in good condition, about one hundred taels, which was part of the one thousand taels of the whole family. got up and put it on the table in front of Liu Manwen and said: "Sister Manwen, I have received great favor from my uncle, and I can't repay it for the time being. ”

Liu Manwen really wants to throw the silver back to Zheng Yu, is this a big bargain and still sell it!! But she didn't dare, if she really did that, not only would she not get any money, but she would also be scolded by her father. I had to accept it, gritted my teeth and said "Thank you, brother" and said no more. He didn't even get up, let alone salute.

Zheng Yu still said the same thing, he didn't care. At this time, Liu He came in, followed by a little maid, dressed in ordinary subordinate clothes, carrying a tray with several plates of cut fruit. Liu He put a plate in front of everyone in the house, and the tray was just vacated, so he waved his hand to signal the little maid to retreat, and the little maid squatted down and saluted, and walked out of the door without raising her head. Zheng Yu, who had been in the middle of the day, suddenly got up and shouted at the little girl.

"Stand !!!"
