"Son, it's so cold, why are you still kneeling?" After Chen Daomai went home, he was startled when he saw Chen Fei kneeling on the ground in a daze, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to test Chen Fei's forehead. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that my son was not sick.

"Son, get up quickly, what are you doing on your knees on a cold day." Chen Daomai wanted to help his son up, but Chen Fei said something. "Dad, Your Majesty has just been here!"

"Huh?" Dad was startled, and then remembered the group of soldiers who had just passed by on the village road......

"Your Majesty made you kneel like this?" Chen Daomai asked worriedly, thinking that Chen Fei had committed something that made His Majesty unhappy, and punished him to kneel.

"No, it's the son himself who wants to kneel, sober!"

"Sober fart! Don't kneel yourself out of the sick! Get up! Daddy's hand was very strong, and he lifted Chen Fei up at once, and after helping Chen Fei sit down, he was busy cooking a bowl of ginger soup for Chen Fei, and watched him drink it, before he showed a reassuring smile.

"Dad, how are the dealers? Are you cold and hungry? ”

Dad grinned: "Don't you dare to let them freeze and starve, you have to count on them to cultivate fertile land next year." ”

Chen Fei nodded and sighed: "Yes, our family's field is almost a thousand acres, right?" If there is no one to help, it is indeed a headache. By the way, what about the farmers who were assigned to work in the workshops? Is the job good? ”

Speaking of this, Daddy's face was full of sorrow. "Son, those people who go to work in the workshop, it's not that the work is bad, but the work is too good! They earn a lot of money every month, and they can afford to support a large family even if they don't work in the fields, so..."

"So everyone else has an opinion? Want to work in the workshop too? Chen Fei had already expected this result, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"yes!" Dad nodded, "When I went to the farmer today, many people said that they wanted to work in the workshop, especially those with two or three sons in the family, and they almost surrounded me and didn't let me come out. ”

"Hehe, you are no longer satisfied with agriculture and have turned to industry?" Chen Fei muttered quietly.

His farmer's values seem to be changing, and agriculture seems to be unable to meet the needs of these people, so the development of industry is inevitable, and what Chen Fei wants to do is to promote change!

"Dad, my workshop has been expanding lately, and I need manpower. In this way, I asked the two brothers of the Hu family to recruit people from the village, and those with skills were preferred. Then put a certain number of places for the remaining dealers, and everyone drew lots and decided to stay. We did not treat the remaining farmers badly, lowered the land tax, and gave them subsidies such as grain, clothing, etc., during the slack time. In short, we can't favor one over the other, otherwise these dealers will hate us in the future. ”

Chen Daomai agrees with this, perhaps because he has lived a hard life for half of his life, so he is quite sympathetic to the farmers, as long as he can help, he will definitely not be stingy.

"Dad, in the spring of next year, I want to plant a few novel species, can Dad hand over the field to me to take care of?"

"Novelty?" Dad wondered, "Where did you get the novel species?" ”

Chen Fei was embarrassed for a moment, and then immediately made up a lie. "I entrusted a Hu merchant to deliver it for me. The yield is high, and it's delicious! ”

"Really?" Daddy rubbed his hands excitedly. With the precedent of sweet potatoes, Daddy is now very interested in these so-called novel species.

Because he is now a "sweet potato addict". If you don't eat a bowl of sweet potato porridge a day, you can't feel tired, and you always feel that something is missing.

Hearing that Chen Fei was going to introduce novel species again, my father went to Hu Shang to pick up the goods in person.

"What are the yields of these species? Which is better compared to sweet potato? ”

Chen Fei saw that his father looked impatient, and wanted to laugh, but he held back.

"Dad, don't worry, the yield, how it tastes, you will know when you harvest next year."

"Good! Daddy believes in you! Daddy happily agreed.

The son is a capable person, and his father is convinced of this now, anyway, he has not let himself down, so why don't he choose to believe him?

It's just that......

Dad rolled his eyes, very similar to Chen Fei's usual cunning appearance. "Ah Fei, do you have any spare money?"

Chen Fei covered his money bag with a vigilant expression, "Dad, what are you going to do?" Do you want to buy an aunt? This one can be there, others can't. ”

"Smack!" Daddy's backhand was a big slap on the back of Chen Fei's head.

"If you have money, go buy land! Take advantage of this winter, hurry up and go to the county lord to buy more fields. Where is there a piece of fertile land in the east of Yongle Village, hurry up and bring it to our house, otherwise I am afraid that it will be preempted by the fat man Hu San next door! ”

Chen Fei....... If you have money, you can buy land, which is really in line with the values of this generation.

However, what Daddy said also makes sense, no matter what, the value of the fields will never be depreciated, because the population is increasing, and the fields that can be divided in the future must be less and less.

And the field is the simplest output tool in this era, which is indispensable, so... It's okay to buy a piece of land.

"Okay, dad, don't worry, I'll go to Zhaoying County, buy land, buy big good land!"

"Hey! Okay! This is my baby! Dad touched Chen Fei's head with relief.

"Dad, our family has also become bigger, isn't it time to recruit a few people?"

As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, he received another slap on the head, and this slap was simply inexplicable.

"What's wrong with Dad? What's wrong with what I'm saying? Chen Fei covered his head and was very aggrieved.

"You're embarrassed to say it!" Dad glared at Chen Fei and pointed to his own house, his tone excited. "Look at what you've made a good house! Originally, the handymen in the family could indeed be purchased. What now? It's just this one house and it's a fart! Do you have to sleep under the same roof with you? Not particular! It's so unsophisticated! Hum! ”

With that, Daddy left in a huff.

Chen Fei shrugged helplessly, he really didn't think about this matter himself, and now that he thinks about it, it is really not suitable to share a room with his subordinates.

"Forget it, I'm going to buy land, so I just bought the vacant land in front of my house, and then start building it now, so as to save my dad a lot of words."

Chen Fei shook his head, took out a box of silver, and some gifts, and then went to Zhaoying County under the escort of the guards.

Zheng An had already set off for northern Xinjiang, his wife and children were still in Zhaoying County, Chen Fei brought something to comfort them, and then went to Zhaoying County to buy land.

The lord of Zhaoying County received Chen Fei very politely, and also gave him a 20% discount. Such a good attitude made Chen Fei feel very pleased, and said that the next time he came, he only needed to be cheap and not allowed to increase the price.

In this regard, the county lord could only keep giving Chen Fei the middle finger in his heart.

Walking out of the county office, the sun, which had been hiding behind the dark clouds for a long time and had not shown its face, poked out half of its head slightly, and a ray of sunlight just sprinkled on Chen Fei's face.

He squinted his eyes at the sky, sighed lightly, said nothing, and beckoned the guards to take him home.

Sauce today, four changes tomorrow
