Chapter 25: The Thoughts of the Landlord's Family

Qinghua Village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This is a village more than ten times larger than Liujia Village, with more than 100 households and hundreds of people, and Liu's landlord's house is also located here, which is the only large household in Qinghua Village.

The peasants here all sold their fields to the landlord Liu, and then rented the land from the landlord Liu to plant, and helped the landlord Liu to work every year to make a living, which is commonly known as tenant farmers.

Early this morning, a shocking news came from Liujia Village, which frightened the villagers of Qinghua Village.

"Do you know, someone in Liujia Village is starting to harvest rice, I passed by there yesterday and happened to see it."

"Nonsense, I don't believe it, it's only May, collect a fart."

"Why are you so vulgar, what I said is true, I moved it home one by one, the grains are very large, and it is obviously a little different from our rice."

"Bullshit, I don't believe it."

.......

The man rolled his eyes and left, he couldn't say anything to this kind of vulgar person, and when he left, he threw a contemptuous look at the strong man, and secretly scolded him for being unqualified.

After leaving, he continued to talk to other people, telling passers-by what he had seen.

It seems that this is the first time he has seen such a strange thing, and when he has a good thing, he naturally wants to share it with others.

Besides, he is not a person with a very tight mouth, such a strange thing, you can't say it, the key is that you can't help it.

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, it took less than a day, almost all the people in Qinghua Village knew about it, and they also came to the conclusion that the person who harvested the rice should be Liu Laohan in the east of the village!

Liu Hua got the news in the evening and hurried home to discuss with his father.

In a courtyard, the fat Liu Dafu is lying on the couch, sipping wine, while looking at the charming figure of more than a dozen dancing girls in front of him, and the girl who caresses the piano on his side, it is really a great enjoyment of life.

He has two hobbies in his life, one is listening to songs, and the other is watching dances.

Just as it was wonderful, a thin young man burst in, looking quite surprised, grinning, as if he had encountered something happy.

Seeing this, Liu Dafu staggered to his feet and said with a smile: "My Hua'er is here, hurry, pour me Hua'er a bottle of wine." ā€

"Father, what kind of wine are you drinking, I'll tell you something."

Liu Hua waved his hand at the dancing girls in the hall and said, "You all go down first." ā€

"Yes."

All the dancers and singers exited the lobby at this time.

Liu Dafu's face was ruddy, and he seemed to be a little drunk, pointed to the beautiful woman who was slowly leaving, and said vaguely: "Huh... They're all ... It's all gone.... ā€

"Father, stop drinking, I'll tell you something."

Liu Hua pulled Liu Dafu to the seat and sat down, and then asked, "Father, do you remember that old man Liu in Liujia Village?" ā€

Liu Dafu pecked lightly again, and said dizzily: "Remember, he adopted a son named Luo Yi, who beat a black blind man some time ago, and we also slaughtered him severely..." ā€

Speaking of this, he rubbed his eyes and said in surprise: "Could it be that he hit the black blind man again?" ā€

Liu Hua rolled his eyes, how could the black blind man be beaten so easily, it is estimated that Luo Yi stepped on the shit last time, and if he was beaten again, it would be okay.

"It's not."

Liu Hua shook his head and said, "What I want to say is that their family has a bumper harvest of grain, and they are harvesting rice these days, with a yield of fifty buckets per mu." ā€

"Oh... The grain is harvested... Gu Zifeng... What the? Millet harvested? And then the rice harvest begins? ā€

Liu Dafu read it, and suddenly stood up, startled by Liu Hua's words, but in an instant, he sat down with a smile again, waved his hand and said: "You are nonsense, it's only May now, what kind of rice is harvested." ā€

Liu Hua said seriously: "Father, I'm not joking, the rice of Liu Laohan's family is really ripe, and it is estimated that the harvest is almost over." ā€

"I'm thinking, it's only in May that the rice will be harvested, then it can be planted again, at most in August, there can be another harvest, which is equivalent to a year's harvest equivalent to two years, if our fields can be like this, then..."

Liu Dafu's wine woke up more than half at this time, and he seemed to be a little tempted to ask, "What you said is true?" ā€

"Of course it's true, that's how it was passed down in the village; If it is true, we must find a way to get the grain seeds, and how to plant them. ā€

Liu Dafu asked, "Do you suspect that his grain is different from ours?" ā€

"It should be, otherwise how could it mature so quickly."

Liu Hua squinted his eyes slightly, touched his chin and said: "I didn't expect this Luo Yi to really have some ability, if he goes on like this, it won't be long before he gets rich, once a person has money, it will become difficult to control, we have to find a way to cure him." ā€

"How?"

Liu Hua said coldly: "Of course, the land has been harvested, all the land in Liujia Village has been collected, and then he has the method of planting millet, and at that time, hehe... No matter how great his ability is, it is useless, so he can only be a tenant farmer for us. ā€

Liu Dafu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Do... This matter has to wait for a while, the land resumption will anger those villagers, and if it is not good, they will have to eat lawsuits, and now the yamen seems to be a little busy, I invited Lord Wang to the banquet a few days ago, but he didn't give me face, I think he was dragged by something, we can't disturb him now, and when I pacify the yamen, you can do it again. ā€

"When will that be?"

"I guess it's only a few months."

Liu Hua said: "Okay, then I'll investigate it first, and then I'll start when I can do it!" ā€

After some discussion, Liu Hua and his son laughed happily, thinking of being able to plant two crops of rice in the coming year, the smiles on their faces were even worse, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to make a fortune.

In fact, they had thought of collecting land in Liujia Village before, but there was not too much land in Liujia Village, and it was far away from Qinghua Village, so it was difficult to manage, so they didn't bother to continue.

The most important thing is that it is very expensive to fight a lawsuit, and if you want to send a gift money to the yamen, if you only collect a few hundred acres of land, it is estimated that the gains outweigh the losses.

And now it's different, the millet can be harvested for two seasons, and the profits have increased greatly, so what are you afraid of, as long as all the land in Liujia Village is collected, the people of Liujia Village can't farm, they can only be tenants, even if Luo Yi has great ability, he is just a tenant farmer, there is no land, what is the use of planting?

There was another reason why they had to take action.

That is, in one's own territory, you can't allow people who are particularly rich, because once people have money, they can bribe officials, they can get to know those big people, and then the situation becomes uncontrollable.

This is also the reason why Liu Hua blackmailed Luo Yi last time, although a few dozen taels of silver is not much, but if the money is turned over a few times, it will be very worrying, and this time it is the same, Luo Yi has a good means of farming, and in the long run, it will be done, so it must be suppressed!
