Chapter 45: Why Do You Only Scoop Half a Bowl of Rice? (below)
First of all, thank you to the two bosses: the undead lord rewarded 2,000 coins Anyang's cutie rewarded 1W coins! So happy!
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Immediately, an old man ran over and kowtowed, ignoring the dust on the ground. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! ā
The old woman and the other women also kowtowed unconsciously, and the tears in the corners of their eyes could no longer be held back at this time, and they bubbled out vigorously.
No one thinks that the lord's rebuke is a real reprimand, this is giving the women a way to live!
Wasting food, that is something that only high-ranking officials and nobles can do, how can the villagers throw it on the ground if they can't even eat enough? Still wrapped in lotus leaves and thrown on the ground? Fools don't believe it!
After venting his anger to the women, Zhang Yi still had a black face, and shouted to the housekeeper who came in a hurry: "It's all a waste of food, in the future, replace brown rice with old rice, and have more leftovers, I want to see if these people dare to waste food like this again!" ā
The lord was gone, and the farmers were crying on their backs.
It's not a matter of replacing brown rice with old rice, and the lord is worried that the rest of the meal will not be enough, so he thinks of a way to let everyone take some back.
The old bell also shook his head and fell silent, originally he thought that these women had no way to live, but where did he think that things would develop to the way they are now.
When he raised his head again, his face became serious, and he shouted at the crowd: "I heard it, you can eat as much as you want, but the work must be done well for the lord, if the old man sees the water stealing and playing tricks, don't blame my old bell for not being humane!" ā
"Steward Zhong, don't worry!" The old man who had just kowtowed immediately patted his chest and promised: "The lord is good to us, we all know in our hearts, if we eat the lord's meal, that cub dares to be lazy, the old man will be the first to break his dog's leg!" ā
Breaking someone's leg is easy to say, but no one thinks it's an empty word!
In ancient society, in addition to national law, people paid more attention to the rules of the countryside and the rules of the family! Don't look at this old guy as just a clan elder, but the power is very scary, for example, there is a murder of his husband or the old king next door in Zhuangzi, he wants to say that it is not uncommon to put this person in the pig cage Chen Tang!
So with his words as a guarantee, as long as the people who come to Zhang's house to help, there will never be the existence of cutting corners or slacking off.
"With the words of Mr. Li, the old man is relieved!" Lao Zhong nodded, and then a little smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly helped everyone who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "You are blessed, as long as you follow the lord to do something else, it will definitely be no problem to have a full stomach." By the way, I have to ask Li Lao to take a look at the construction of a waterwheel on the river beach, and the lord said that it must be installed and tested before the beginning of spring, and if there is a problem with the water, we will have a harvest of two or three percent less in a year! ā
Speaking of the waterwheel, the old man became a little uneasy.
Although Steward Zhong has long said that as long as the waterwheel is built, the water from the Jingyang River can be continuously sent to the canal in the field through the waterwheel, but is there really such a magical thing in this world? In his opinion, since ancient times, watering has been picked with buckets, and can you grow good crops without sweating?
After thinking about it, the old man said worriedly: "Steward Zhong, originally this matter should not have been said by the old man, but the lord is so good to us, even if the old man has committed the taboo of the lord, he still has to say it!" ā
He first looked at Lao Zhong's face, then looked at the young man behind him, and finally gritted his teeth before saying: "The old man has been following his family to the field since he was seven years old, and it can be said that he has been planting the land for a lifetime, but after planting for so many years, I have never heard of anything that can be directly sent to the ground!" The waterwheel listened to what you said so well, in fact, the old man also went to see it, it was nothing more than to build a few wooden stakes in the river, and then add a reel on it, so that the water could be sent over?
It's not that the old man can't believe you and the lord, but I'm afraid that the lord will be deceived by others! Not to mention the back work, but also to raise so many mouths, according to the old man's view, it is better to open a few more canals, when the spring comes, the old man will find a few more young people to pick up with their hands and shoulders! ā
"Huh!" Listening to the old man's chattering call, Lao Zhong laughed more and more happily, and it wasn't until Li Laohan finished speaking that he said: "I don't think you guys have done anything until our lord did before!" ā
Everyone looked puzzled and waited for Lao Zhong to continue.
They were very interested in the new kind-hearted lord, especially the previous gossip of the lord, and they all gathered around one by one and stretched out their ears to hear it clearly.
"I'm not afraid to tell you! Half a year ago, the old man and the lord were still in Lingnan, do you know where it is? Lao Zhong looked high, looked at the people with a confused face, and after seeing enough of the knowledgeable addiction, he continued: "The land of Lingnan is a deserted place, and the mountains are full of wild people squatting on trees with sticks and screaming! ā
"Savages?"
Immediately, the crowd exclaimed.
For wild people, they still stay in the impression of monkeys, of course, since they are wild people, they must be bigger than monkeys, but the mountains are full of wild people, thinking that it is not a good place.
"Yes! Wild people everywhere! But who is our lord? It took more than three months, and in more than three months, he directly changed from the identity of a rogue to the current lord, the prince of Jingyang County, whom His Majesty personally sealed! Even the son-in-law of the old man Feng of Yue Guo is called a brother and brother to our lord, don't you have any ability? So, as long as it's what the lord commands, you can do it, that's right! ā
No one knows who the Duke of Yue Guo is, but His Majesty knows it, and the entire country is his! Even the people that His Majesty values naturally rise up in their eyes, a blind worship naturally arises, can they be a lord without some ability?
"This is the old man's abruptness, since the waterwheel is really good, the old man will go and find some more people to come over, and make sure that it will be built in half a month!"
......
People always need a thought, that is, hope, once there is hope, they will desperately strive towards this goal!
In less than a week, the entire Zhangjiazhuang has become a piece of construction sites, river dams, fields, fields, houses..... Men and women, young and old, are full of energy!
Seeing the hot construction site, Zhang Yi began to dream again, the house must be a courtyard, all the same color of cement floor, two big lions carved in front of the door to watch the door, and then a few big locust trees are planted in the yard... It is best to have a pear tree, you can see the pear blossoms in spring, and the pears can quench your thirst when they are ripe... And then there is something to do, and if there is nothing to do, just do it....
"Young master, you see, the foundation of our house is almost laid, and a lot of green bricks have been burned, as long as the cement experiment you said comes out, you can directly build a house here!" Lao Zhong watched the young master sit on the stone alone, so he interjected.
