Chapter 5 Small Landlords
To be a small landlord and live well with these fields, cattle and sheep and other assets of his family, so that he can be stable for a lifetime, but it is not a bad thing.
If you can marry two more daughters-in-law and give birth to several sons, you can be regarded as a successor.
It's just that since he has crossed over, how can he be willing to be a small landlord, although he doesn't dare to rebel and become king, but at least he has to make a beautiful career.
Looking at these fields, and the rights and wealth that the world has given them, any ambitious person wants to concentrate the power in his own hands.
The peasants who were once employed, and those who wanted to find something to do in the Mei Mansion came one after another, and not many people were hired for many years, and the Mei family used to choose the "servants" they needed according to the situation.
After all, they are people who have been educated by modern civilization, and after organizing these people, Mei Xiaohan decided to conduct an assessment of them, the so-called make the best use of things, make the best use of talents, and not let people who eat and drink enter Meifu.
The time for the revival of the Mei Mansion was approaching, and a man with reform ambitions appeared, and although his ambitions were only sprouting a little in his mind, he could not contain his excitement.
The system that Mei Xiaohan carries is also enough to fulfill his current small wish, as long as Mei Xiaohan's ambition is not big enough to threaten the rule of the imperial power, what he wants will not be too difficult.
Don't be in a hurry to call these bitter people to come and meet, learn the costumes of the Song people, Mei Xiaohan bathed and changed clothes, and took a nap in the afternoon, and boiled tea to drink.
After a leisurely moment, I found that the dilapidated "courtyard" of my family, which did not match his family's assets, was already crowded with people.
"These people are here!" The second dog whispered in Mei Xiaohan's ear!
Mei Xiaohan's slightly closed eyelids moved lightly twice, and said, "Let them stand in line!" ”
"In order of the oldest and youngest!"
Although the second dog was puzzled, he also complied.
"Folks!"
Folks!
"Today, our little master came to meet the villagers in person, I'm afraid most of you haven't seen my little master yet!"
A white-haired old man stepped forward tremblingly, looked at Mei Xiaohan, nodded and said, "The little master looks quite like his grandfather, but he looks like him!" ”
"Since the little master came to see us in person, we are naturally very honored!"
"I hope that Young Master Mei can rent more land for my family, and consider that my Liu family has dozens of mouths waiting for dinner..."
As soon as the farmer surnamed Liu finished speaking, another said, "Your Liu family is in difficulty? Isn't it difficult for our Wang family? It can't be said that the Wang family has been farming and herding cattle for Meifu for decades, and there is no merit and hard work! ”
Everyone talked about it and refused to give in to each other.
Mei Xiaohan got up, waved his hand to make everyone stop, and said: "Our Mei family naturally knows the difficulties of the villagers, and my Mei family can understand you, but my Mei family is not a big family, and the difficulties of the villagers are not all solved by my Mei family!" ”
"If you want to rent land again this year, it's different from previous years!"
After hearing this, everyone's expressions froze.
"This..."
"Could it be that the Mei family has subleased all the land?"
"What a good thing this is!"
"If you can't rent land, how can you feed your family!"
"Young Master Mei, you can't do this!"
A farmer suddenly "plopped" and fell to the ground, climbed up and hugged Mei Xiaohan's thigh, and said: "If Mei Shao doesn't rent land, I can't afford to kneel!" ”
"That girl in my family has just turned 17 this year, she is very young and slender, if Young Master Mei doesn't dislike it, let her accompany Young Master Mei and serve Young Master Mei on weekdays?"
“17?”
"It's 17, and you're embarrassed to say it?"
"Uncle Liu, I'm afraid that your 20-year-old girl is not wanted, right?"
When talking about your own family, don't forget to belittle others.
"My daughter is just 15 this year, it is the most beautiful and tender time, and she is a big girl with yellow flowers, and she is looking for someone who can hurt people to marry!"
"My daughter is 14! Is it comparable to you? ”
Everyone's words, Mei Xiaohan's face was full of shyness, fourteen, fourteen, sixteen or seven is the most youthful and beautiful time at this age in modern times, it is when she is reading and studying in class, Mei Xiaohan has never dared to think about it.
It's just that the ancients generally got married earlier, so getting married at the age of fifteen or sixteen is nothing!
Ergouzi said: "My little master, he is still young, and he is not in a hurry to marry a wife, so he doesn't need to worry about the villagers!" ”
The atmosphere was in awkward awkwardness, and no one spoke again!
I don't know who shouted, "There must be an explanation!" ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "I will naturally give you an explanation!" ”
It seems that the current situation is a little more troublesome than imagined, although it is its own field, and the cattle and sheep are also its own, but it is not the master who can do it yourself, and this matter needs to be considered in the long run.
Seeing Mei Xiaohan in a daze, someone said, "Why don't you invite the village out?" Let the village chief talk about it, so that we can rest assured! ”
Mei Xiaohan wanted to laugh a little, but she didn't expect her identity to be such a spicy chicken after crossing over, and she didn't even have the right to rent her land to anyone, and at this time, she actually had to find the village chief to "administer justice" I couldn't help but feel that my sense of existence was simply pitiful!
"Is it appropriate to find the village chief?" Mei Xiaohan asked with a hint of unhappiness!
Someone replied, "That's great, we believe in the village chief!" ”
Mei Xiaohan finally squirted out a mouthful of phlegm that she was holding in her mouth.
"Alright! All right! Just ask the village chief! ”
Although Mei Xiaohan was unhappy, in order to reassure these villagers, she still agreed with their opinions.
"What a mess this is!"
The so-called village chief is actually called "Lizheng", who manages the affairs of a village, and has some power and authority in many things.
As soon as Li Zheng saw Mei Xiaohan, he gave a smiley face, began to ask for warmth, and hinted that Mei Xiaohan would give him a gift.
"It's really social!" Mei Xiaohan scolded secretly.
In fact, even if Mei Xiaohan scolds people clearly, Li Zheng may not be able to understand it, the so-called society should be called "rivers and lakes" according to the name of the ancients! It's not "social."
For this positive background, it is stored in Mei Xiaohan's mind, so Mei Xiaohan does not dare to have too many inappropriate remarks.
Li Zheng is around fifty years old, thin, and looks kind in appearance, but he opens his mouth and closes his mouth about silver.
"The old rules are not easy to change casually!" Li Zhengdao.
"What do you think!" Li Zheng stared at Mei Xiaohan.
Mei Xiaohan was a little stunned for a while, thought for a while, and said, "Lizheng, what do you think?" ”
"I still know a little about your Mei family!"
"It's just..."
Li Zheng paused and said, "Many things are a bit mysterious! ”
Mei Xiaohan said: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's not surprising that you don't know about this, it's just that you were too young before..."
Li Zheng took a bite of duck legs, and said slowly: "Listen to me carefully..."
