Chapter 62: Chicken Farm?
Can't be without a queen.
This is a truth that animals understand, and how can humans be an exception.
Leng Feng has only one son in his family, and when he saw Zhang Zhongqing's tears last night, Leng Feng also felt that it was time for him to start a family.
In the era of early marriage in the Tang Dynasty, there were not a few people who had become fathers at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and the imperial court encouraged childbearing, although the law stipulated that men could only marry at fifteen and women at sixteen, but no one cared about it, and the government would turn a blind eye.
It has been a whole year since Leng Feng arrived in the Tang Dynasty, and the desire to go home that was originally hidden in the depths of his heart has been exhausted, rather than finding a woman he doesn't know to marry, it is better to find Liu Shuwen directly.
After all...... She plays the piano beautifully, and she is also very gentle.
Liu Shuwen was blushed by Leng Feng's movements, so she just said "um" and quickly ran away.
Leng Feng smiled slightly, and went out for morning exercise with his hands behind his back.
Since Li Ke returned to Chang'an, he has followed Li Sanniu to train every day, and the nine-year-old child will only rest until his whole body is sore.
Leng Feng poured him a cup of hot tea, pointed at the sergeants and said, "Most of this kind of training is brute force, train with me from tomorrow!" ”
Li Ke let out a long sigh of relief: "Master, I know that training with you is the best, but the disciple likes this kind of atmosphere. ”
Leng Feng smiled: "It's right for a commander to like the army. After this team grows up, I will temporarily hand it over to Ergouzi and Li Erniu to manage, and when you grow up, these people will be the foundation of your galloping battlefield. ”
Li Ke thought that he could command such an army one day, and his blood couldn't help but boil.
Li Chengqian returned to the palace last night, and he needed to wait for the palace gate to open before he could come out, and Li Tai was the laziest among the three brothers, and he wouldn't get up until he was exposed to the sun.
But today, Li Tai got up uncharacteristically early! This is really the sun coming out of the west, and when I saw Li Tai who was washing, the scallion pancake in Li Ke's hand fell to the ground.
"What is there to be surprised at! It seems that Master is going to start teaching you martial arts, and I plan to learn a little bit of it secretly. ”
Li Ke patted his brother's big belly: "It's your belly, it's difficult!" And didn't you study physical chemistry? It's useless to learn martial arts! Unlike me, martial arts training is the guarantee of survival on the battlefield. ”
Li Tai looked at his big belly and felt bitter, he didn't see "how much" more than others, why was he so fat?
"You also saw the effect of the experimental thunder two days ago, I will study the thunder in the future, if you don't run fast, you will end up with broken bones!"
Li Ke laughed, pinched his brother's belly and said, "With your thick meat, I'm afraid that the thunder won't be able to explode!" ”
may have been pinched, Li Tai threw away the towel in his hand and pounced on Li Ke, Li Ke laughed and tossed and moved, just not giving Li Tai a chance to get close.
"Alright, don't make a fuss!"
Li Chengqian, who ran back as soon as the palace gate opened, stopped the brothers: "Master has already started eating, if we don't go, we won't have anything to eat!" ”
It's weird! The beautiful maid who used to stand behind the master during the meal actually sat next to the master, eating rice one by one and blushing looking very embarrassed.
That's not going to work! The lowly are not entitled to eat in the halls, and women do not have the right to eat at the table! Even the queen mother of the world, when the emperor is entertaining ministers, she can't just get the table table!
As soon as Li Chengqian was about to open his mouth to reprimand, Li Tai spoke first:
"Hello master!"
After speaking, he came to Liu Shuwen's side and diligently served vegetables for Liu Shuwen.
Only then did Li Chengqian understand, it turned out that ...... Hey.
Liu Shuwen was very uncomfortable with the three heavenly nobles who made her unattainable in the past, and she was so attentive to her that she was almost choked to death by small rice.
Leng Feng looked at all this with a smile, he loved Li Chengqian and the three of them very much, but no matter how much he liked them, it was not his biological child after all.
Looking at this scene in front of him, Leng Feng remembered that when he was very young, he was also so tired of his mother, and he couldn't help but eat a few more bites of food, so as not to have a throat stalk.
In ancient times, the wife was a figure whose authority in a family was second only to her husband, as the saying goes: "The male protagonist is outside, the female protagonist is inside", and the affairs of the family are generally taken care of by the hostess, so Leng Feng finished eating, and threw the account book downstairs to Liu Shuwen, and he planned to go to the Wei River with his three apprentices.
Liu Shuwen looked at the account book that recorded a huge amount of money, and for the first time she felt that she was a wife......
In a feudal society, how can you not have your own land?
Not far from the site of the Tianwen Martial Arts Academy, there is a Zhuangzi with flat and fertile land. This Zhuangzi was originally under the name of Wei Chigong, and Leng Feng went to the Eguo Mansion for a trip, and this Zhuangzi was changed to Leng Feng's name.
Mrs. Wei Chi never questioned her husband's decision, and her husband told her before he set out on the expedition that he would give whatever he wanted upstairs in the world. Since her husband said so, let alone a Zhuangzi, even if Leng Feng wants the Duke of Eguo, Mrs. Wei Chi will move out directly.
Of course, this Zhuangzi was not asked for nothing, Leng Feng copied a copy of the method of distilling liquor to Mrs. Wei Chi, which can be regarded as a tacit consent that Yu Chi's family can also sell wine.
In this era, although there are no intellectual property rights and patents, businessmen in any industry will respect this. The braised pork in Tianxia Upstairs is simple and easy to make, but other restaurants would rather continue to stew white meat than sell it themselves without permission from Tianxia Upstairs.
The landlords and the peasants have been antagonistic classes since ancient times, but Wei Chigong, a landlord, was somewhat "incompetent" and rarely oppressed the peasants. So when Leng Feng came to this Zhuangzi to inspect, all the heads of the families in the Zhuangzi came to give gifts with smiles on their faces.
The gifts were very shivering, some were self-woven linen, some were self-made dim sum, and Zhang Laohan, the richest man in the Zhuangzi, brought a basket of eggs, which was enough to smile proudly.
Sitting under the big willow tree in the center of the Zhuangzi with more than 200 family heads, eating snacks and drinking fine wine, it is considered to have met.
The eldest Li Tou in the Zhuangzi is already eighty-nine years old, and at such an age, even if he sees the emperor, he doesn't need to give a salute.
The Tang Dynasty rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, as long as it is an old man, he can see the official without worshipping, and after eighty, he doesn't even have to kneel when he sees the emperor, but the emperor will bend down to salute him.
Lao Li Tou carefully asked the master how much he wanted to collect rent on behalf of the entire Zhuangzi, and he looked flattering, without the slightest sign of the emperor's unruly age.
Leng Feng drank another glass of wine before saying: "The law of the imperial court stipulates that the landlord's family collects 20% of the rent, but there are many landlords who will collect 30% or 40%, which is shameful.
Before, when General Wei Chi was your master, he collected the lowest 20%, and since I took over your Zhuangzi from General Wei Chi, I will not increase the amount, or 20%. ”
Lao Li, who originally thought that the new master's family would collect four or five percent, plucked his ears and asked uncertainly: "How many percent do you say?" ”
"Twenty percent! It won't change in the future! ”
The peasants immediately cheered.
Leng Feng motioned for them to be quieter and said, "Of course, this 20% rent is for others to see, and this grain is not worth a lot of money." Therefore, the grain is piled up in the granary, and whoever reduces the output can go and take it. ”
The villagers are dumbfounded, and there is such a master?
Leng Feng smiled: "This is a good thing to accumulate yin virtue, why don't I do it." ”
I have to say that words like "accumulating yin virtue" can be used as a reason for many things, so the villagers were immediately relieved, the main family is rich, and it is also appropriate to do things that accumulate yin virtue.
Leng Feng picked up the account book and looked at it, and said, "Old Li Tou, your family rented fifteen acres of land?" ”
Lao Li Tou immediately smiled and said: "The descendants of the family are diligent, so they rent more!" ”
Leng Feng knocked on the words "fifteen acres of land" and said, "Old Litou, don't farm your family this year." ”
As soon as these words came out, Lao Li almost cried: "The new master's family, there are more than a dozen people in my Lao Li family, you ......"
Leng Feng interrupted Lao Li's words: "You can help me raise chickens (crabs)." (Probably harmonious...... )
Lao Li Tou was stunned: "Raising chickens? ”
