Chapter 308: Arranging the Banker
Dad sighed silently, squatted down and burned a little paper money, and put some vegetables on the table, including even sweet potatoes grown by Chen Fei.
Dad sat in front of the grave, pointed down the hillside, just facing his own house, and said to himself with a smile: "Child, you take a good look at this old house, we Ah Fei have the ability, we have to build a big house again, our old house is afraid that it will be demolished."
You don't know, our Ah Fei has a lot of skills now, and he is both an official and a knight, I don't have a good memory, I can't remember what official he has sealed, and I will let him tell you later.
Hey, alas, you... Why did you go so early? I haven't enjoyed any blessings, I have suffered all my life, if you are still here, I will let you live a good life......"
Chen Daomai snorted as he spoke, and a man who was about to be forty years old sat on the grave wiping his tears, crying and laughing, and talked about many sad pasts.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the mountains and forests, the wind was very soft, blowing on the faces of father and son, like a pair of warm hands brushing their cheeks, just blowing away their tears, and it did not show pain.
Chen Daomai said to Chen Fei with a smile, this is his mother to wipe their tears for them again, and they are not worried about their father and son after they have gone to the underworld......
When he got home, Dad went out in a daze with a hoe on his shoulder, Chen Fei knew that Daddy's mood was a little fluctuating and he needed to be alone, so he walked into the house alone.
Yin Ping had just woken up. After the hangover, his face was very unsightly, and when he opened his mouth, there was a smell of wine, which Chen Fei didn't want to want.
"It's time for you to brush your teeth, it smells so much alcohol!" Chen Fei waved his hand in disgust and fanned away the smell of wine.
"Brushing your teeth?" Yin Ping was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chen Fei inexplicably, just passed his mouth with water, and then found a wicker to clean his mouth.
Chen Fei...... I almost forgot that the word brushing has not come out in this era.
Suddenly, he slapped his head hard and jumped up excitedly. "What a business opportunity! This is the business opportunity! Lao Tzu can still invent a toothbrush! Really stupid! After so many days, I actually thought of it! ”
"Nerves!" Yin Ping returned to a cold state and calmly watched Chen Fei go crazy.
Chen Fei was happy for a while, then quieted down, and walked outside the courtyard for a long time. "Brother Yin, you said that my house is a little broken, but it is still very old, is it good to keep it?"
Yin Ping rolled his eyes and snorted, "Whatever you want, I'm going back to the Daoist Hall to see my master." After speaking, Yin Ping turned around and led the horse away.
Chen Fei touched his chin and thought for a while, and felt that he should leave the old house behind. Daddy seems to have a special affection for the old house, so it's good to keep it. Anyway, they are not short of a piece of land money.
At noon today, someone came to the palace to divide the rewarded land for Chen Fei, and brought 700 households, telling Chen Fei that this was the village that was brought to him.
Chen Fei looked at the new seven hundred villagers and felt worried.
First of all, most of these 700 households were defeated captives, some of them were Turks, some of them were Tuguhun people, and some people who didn't know which small country they were, of course, there were also many Tang people, but most of them were victims who moved from some places where there was a famine, and they looked yellow and thin, and they didn't have much nutrition.
With so many people to raise, Chen Fei suddenly turned white. And there are many people of different races among them, the one who feels that his life is threatened at any time, how can he not let Chen Fei shatter his glass heart?
After the eunuch finished measuring and dividing the land, he was about to leave, Chen Fei hurriedly dragged the eunuch and quietly stuffed a piece of silver cake into his sleeve.
Chen Fei leaned into the eunuch's ear and asked in a low voice. "This father-in-law, do you know how the other Uncle Cheng dealt with these dealers? There are so many people, you can't let me keep them all, right? ”
Chen Fei is now a celebrity in front of Li Shimin, and he has to be talked about by Li Shimin every day, and the eunuch naturally does not dare to slack off, and he also receives benefits, of course, he pours out everything he knows.
"Uncle Chen is polite, I won't tell you, I do know a little bit, and I'll talk to you about it......"
After communicating with the eunuch, Chen Fei let out a long breath, although this eunuch is an errand runner, he still knows a lot, and many things he said make Chen Fei very applicable.
For example, these Turks, they are not good at farming, but they have a body of force, and they can use some means to make them become loyal guards of the family.
And those people in other countries may not be good at planting, but they can do some handicrafts, you can give them a little work to do, and just share a mouthful of food for them.
As for the refugees who moved from Datang, they can let them become their own farmers, grow grain, and pay rent every year.
As for those who don't know anything, they can arrange some chores, do the work of a small house, or do coolies, it all depends on how Chen Fei arranges it.
After the eunuch finished speaking, he led the people back to the palace, while Chen Fei started a new busy. He is good at winning people's hearts, so what he has to do now is to settle these people and not make them dissatisfied with him, otherwise if so many people make trouble, he can't resist it.
First of all, he divided the able-bodied Turks, promised them ten taels of silver per household as a settling-in allowance, and then recruited them as his own subordinates, so that they could settle their wages and rations on a monthly basis.
When these Turks heard Chen Fei's promise, they almost knelt down in excitement on the spot. Suddenly. After the fall of the country, they were slaves who were subjugated by the Tang Dynasty, working as coolies every day, without enough food, living like livestock, but they did not dare to resist.
Today, when I met a master who was willing to give them money and food, I was naturally grateful, and vowed to be loyal to the lord's family, even if I sacrificed my life.
Very good, Chen Fei is very satisfied with this result, the first step is good, and there are naturally a lot of obstacles behind.
Chen Fei promised to give each family a settling-in allowance and then assign a job.
Seven hundred households, that is, seven thousand taels of silver, if it weren't for Chen Fei's previous time to make a lot of money, I'm afraid there would be no such confidence this time.
Although it was a little heartache, he still gritted his teeth and sent it, including the fifty farmers who had rewarded him before, and he couldn't favor one over the other.
Then Chen Fei planned his manor. He plans to create a place like a "farmhouse" for future generations. Not only beautiful, but also good for management.
So Chen Fei made a good plan, found someone to be in charge, and threw the matter to them to solve it themselves. He had other things to do.
For example, many of his industries have to be expanded, and these more than 700 households just provide him with a large number of laborers.
As for his family's field, naturally only a part of it needs to be left for care.
"Son, I suddenly remembered something." Daddy suddenly appeared with a ghost, and came up with such a headless sentence.
Chen Feileng paused for a moment and blurted out, "What's the matter, Dad?" ”
Dad's face suddenly became entangled, and Chen Fei didn't understand what he said after talking for a long time.
"Dad, what the hell is going on, what gold and silver? Where do I keep all my money? ”
Dad scratched his head, stomped his feet one last time, and dragged Chen Fei to the village chief's house......
