"Have you figured it out? Those 100 acres of sloping fields are your own private property! ”

Li Bin looked at this former domestic slave who had just been included in the Yanzhou Wuben establishment with a look of astonishment, as if he didn't believe that what he had just said came from this mouth.

"After thinking about it, observing, the villain is alone, homeless, and now he is a team officer, and he has a fixed amount of money and rice every month, and a hundred acres of land is useless to the villain. Instead of leaving the land abandoned, it is better to use it to raise soldiers. Observe that the villain went to the left battalion to be the team, and asked me to lead the troops, not to let me store property. Although the number of Team C is small, but in terms of observation, it is the foundation of its establishment in Yanzhou, and it is unknown whether it may be of great use in the future, the villain's life is saved by observation, and this official skin is also given by observation, as long as it is beneficial to observation, the villain does not care about the ...... of the field."

Li*'s tone was extremely sincere, in fact, half of it was also in his heart, for him, a traverser who did not distinguish between grains and grains, even if a hundred acres of land were given to him, he really didn't know how to plant, the army's fixed food and salary were not enough, and he had to rectify military discipline and could not continue to be a bandit, except for Tuntian, he really had no other way to think about it.

Li Bin pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you have a general plan in mind?" ”

Li * shook his head with a wry smile: "Don't hide from the observation, when the villain was in his hometown, he also had some land at home, and he didn't try to get crops, but now he only has a rough idea, and he hasn't counted it at all......"

Li Bin nodded: "No wonder you can write, and you don't speak as straightforwardly and vulgarly as ordinary people on weekdays......"

He smiled: "If the water and fertilizer are suitable, and the time is beautiful, an acre of sloping field can produce about 400 catties of millet a year, and how can there be about 200 catties left after peeling, and 100 acres of land is 20,000 catties." There are 50 soldiers in a team, and each soldier consumes about 400 catties of grain a year, and 50 soldiers are exactly 20,000 catties, plus the original salary, it is indeed enough......

He paused, shook his head and said: "It's just that the soldiers have been pulled to farm, and the daily training will inevitably be delayed, but how to deal with this?" ”

Li * smiled bitterly and shook his head: "These soldiers can't farm, even if they barely plant, I'm afraid there won't be any harvest this year." My idea was to recruit some tenants to farm the land, and the sergeants in the battalion usually helped to do some manual work and were so-so, but the main time was to train the soldiers. Observing the two hundred hanging money given, the villain couldn't use it for a while, so he used it to recruit tenants first. This money is dead money in the villain's pocket, and only with the harvest can it become living money......"

Li * looked at him in surprise: "I didn't expect you to have such knowledge......"

He stroked his beard and sighed: "The old man has been an official for 30 years, but this is the second time I ......have heard of this dead money."

Li * was taken aback, and said with a wry smile: "Observation is funny, this truth is generally known to the Shangjia family......

Li Bin shook his head disapprehantly: "Businessmen have never studied, although they are very good at making money, if you ask him why he is making more and more money, they can't say why." It is above the court where most scholars live, most people are also thinking about how to increase taxes and taxes, how to extract grain, rice and silver money from the hands of the people to fill the treasury, and really think about returning the benefits to the people in order to come to Japan. ”

"Sang Guoqiao? Sang Weihan? Lee* asked in surprise.

For this post-Jin Dynasty's power minister, the mastermind behind the betrayal of the sixteen states of Yanyun, Li * has been famous for a long time in his own time. I didn't expect that this big traitor who had been stinking for thousands of years was still quite business-minded, and I didn't expect that Li Bin, who was in Yanzhou, would have a good relationship with this person.

Li Bin nodded, and said with emotion: "In all fairness, the years when overseas Chinese held the country were a rare time when the life of Li Shu in the world was a little better......"

He smiled to himself: "I'm really old, what are you doing with these useless things?" *, your idea is good, but it's unrealistic......"

He frowned, pinched his fingers and calculated: "If a hundred acres of land is only cultivated by one tenant household, the harvest per mu will not be 10,000 to 400 catties, and at least two or more tenants will be used to cultivate, but 20,000 catties of grain for a team of soldiers to eat for a year is not enough, plus tenants, it is obviously not enough, tenants are also people, and they also have to eat, they can't eat enough and have no strength, where can they have the spirit to serve the land?" ”

"Moreover, the 100 acres of slope fields are on the slopes of Woniu Mountain, and it is inconvenient to divert water and fertilizer. Even if the harvest is barely completed, the Li family of the Dingyan Army will go south to beat the grass valley every year as soon as the harvest season comes, and Woniu Mountain is outside the city of Yanzhou, without the protection of the city wall, so it can't stop the plundering of the party people at all......"

Li* smiled: "The Yanhe River flows from the foot of Woniu Mountain, although it is difficult to get water, there is still a way to think of it, there are fifty strong laborers in hand, even if you use a bucket to draw water back, it is not impossible." No matter how severe the locust plague is, it can't be made every year, it just makes trouble, and it is enough to find a way to extinguish and rescue it, as for the difficult army, observing the training of villains, it is to resist the party and protect the territory and the people, and it has always been the soldiers who will block, and the soldiers are trained to fight wars, what is the use of raising soldiers without fighting. Observation is not to make your own feudal town, this layer just wants to open. It's just that the ploughing land always requires oxen, but there is nowhere to buy it, and it is up to people to plow the land, and I am afraid that two tenants are not enough......

Li Bin looked at Li * for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "The old man underestimated your ambition, so if you don't want to avoid war and are willing to protect the water and soil of Yanzhou, why should the old man care?" ”

He took a deep breath and said, "Listen, on Woniu Mountain, there are 1,800 acres of land under the name of the old man, but unfortunately it is all slope land, and the downstream river valley land is the land of the Gao family. Of the 1,800 acres of land, only 400 acres are cultivated by tenants on weekdays, and the daily consumption of the house comes from this. The remaining 1,400 acres will be handed over to you to go to Tuntian, and the old man will give you another 300 yuan, and you will recruit tenants, you don't have to worry about the cattle matter, the 400 acres of land are planted by ten tenants, and they have two cows, which are also the property in the name of the old man, although you borrow and use it, as long as you can leave ten party heads in your hands when the Li family comes to visit again next year, the old man will not eat or drink for the next year, and he will provide you ......to the end."

Lee * Daxi: "Thank you for observing the generosity ......"

Li Bin smiled slightly: "Don't be too happy, it has been five years since the Zhangwu Army established the town, and the number of party heads captured by the whole army in the past five years is less than ten, if it is not too unseemly, I will not strongly recommend you to the high servant to join the army." The old man is waiting for you to get back some face for Zhangwujun and give Yanzhou Li Shu an explanation! ”

Li* knelt down on one knee and said, "The villain knows! ”

Li Bin looked at him, but did not reach out to help, but a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Besides, although there is a lot of land, and the manpower required for cultivation is relatively more, where are you going to get so many households......

……

Li * did not have lunch in Li Bin's house, and yesterday Liao Jianzhong, the commander of the left battalion, informed him that he would go over at noon this day to discuss the matter, and although the military law in the Yanzhou army was lax, Li *, who had taken office and clearly knew that he was extremely uninterested in himself, still felt that it was not wrong to be more careful. In addition, he has gained a lot from Li Bin this time, and his mood is really good, since the last time he sacrificed his life to follow Li Bin out to quell the rebellion, the miserable days in the past seem to be getting farther and farther away from him, so when he walked into the courtyard of the Zuoying command post, he actually hummed a small tune in his mouth, and the melody was clearly "Nanniwan......

"Team Officer Li is in a good mood, what tune are you humming, is it from your hometown?" Liao Jianzhong asked with a sarcastic smile.

Li * realized that he had entered the house, and looked into the room, in addition to Liao Jianzhong, there were two officers sitting, but they were not officers from the left battalion, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed: "Liao Yu forgive me, the villain is presumptuous......"

"Forgive me, are you a celebrity in the Li Observation Mansion......" Liao Jianzhong still had a sarcastic smile on his face, he saw Li * after seeing the ceremony, waved his hand and introduced: "These two are the two officers of the middle battalion, Chen Ye and Chen Yao, who came to the left battalion to assist in the defense on the order of the command office. Their ranks are the same as yours, they are all lieutenants, so you can meet each other with courtesy! ”

Li * hurriedly bowed down: "The two escorts worked hard-"

Unexpectedly, the two of them glanced at each other, "snorted" in unison, and raised their heads high.

Li * was suddenly furious in his heart, but after all, this is in the army, and he can't turn his face immediately, it's not easy for his little life to survive in this era, and he can't always pull out his knife at every turn, so he had to hold back his anger and laugh at the moment: "I don't know what to command the adult to call the villain to come?" ”

Liao Jianzhong coughed lightly, and laughed: "That's the case, yesterday I asked the team officers of those teams, and those bitches all said that there were many people in the team, and the barracks were tight, so it was difficult to arrange, so I had to arrange the two team officers and the brothers to the C team to eat and stay together, and I hope that Li Rongrong will take care of some brothers from Xicheng......"

Li * was immediately stunned, there were a total of five barracks in the team, and it was already not generous for twenty-five people to live, but now he had to stuff two whole teams of people into it, what did this Liao Jianzhong mean? Could it be that he didn't like his eyes and made a special trip to wear his own shoes? Thinking about it, I don't think it's right, although I tossed around in the team, I didn't offend this imperial captain.

Liao Jianzhong was a little uncomfortable by him, coughed lightly, and said with a little embarrassment: "This is also a matter of no choice, the upper branch and the lower faction, it has to be adapted to the situation, right?" ”

"Hmph" The one named Chen Ye glanced at Liao Jianzhong, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the left battalion commander's practice of pushing the responsibility to the Yanai Command Office, they were the officers of the middle battalion, so there was no need to look at Liao Jianzhong's face.

Li * still doesn't understand at this moment in his heart, although Liao Jianzhong doesn't deal with him, but he doesn't have any malicious intentions, this matter is mostly the head and end of the command office in the Yanei, and Gao Da Yanei is giving himself a horse. He smiled coldly in his heart, Gao Shaoji, let you be rampant for more than a year.

He smiled innocently: "Commander, the villain is about to come to tell the commander today, the villain wants to pull Team C to Woniu Mountain outside the city to practice, but he has not asked Commander Liao and does not dare to act without authorization." It just so happened that the two team officers came to assist in the defense, and the villain was willing to give up all the five barracks to the robes of the middle camp to live in, and the villain had some thin fields on Woniu Mountain, which was given by Li Observation, and he re-established the camp over there, just by the way, and asked the commander to allow it......"

Liao Jianzhong was taken aback: "Li Peirong, aren't you talking nonsense?" ”

Li * smiled: "The villain is serious, thank you for the attention of the commander!" ”

This sentence is actually to tell Liao Jianzhong, I know the beginning and end of this matter, and I will not settle the account on your head.

Liao Jianzhong lowered his face and said: "Officer Li, you must know that if you are stationed outside the city, you will not only be constantly harassed by the homeless robbers, but also may be attacked by the party cavalry......

Although Liao Jianzhong's tone of voice was stern, it was actually a good intention, reminding him that it was extremely dangerous to go out of the city and camp, and he was likely to be killed by Gao Shaoji with the knife of the party's cavalry.

At this time, Chen Ye laughed out loud and said in a rough voice: "Since Brother Li has such good intentions, Commander Liao will hurry up and give an order, so everyone will be happy, and the brothers will not be angry." "He and his younger brother were inexplicably sent to Xicheng to squeeze the house with Li *, and the boss was not happy, but at this moment, seeing that Li * took the initiative to vacate the space, he couldn't help but get up and urge.

Liao Jianzhong has been hesitating, Li * is insignificant, but Li Bin is something he can't afford to offend as a small conductor.

Li * also knew what he was thinking, and said with relief: "Commander Liao, rest assured, the villain's idea is to observe and nod, if there is something, the villain will bear it, and it will never affect Commander Liao......"

Hearing that Li * was so understanding, Liao Jianzhong couldn't help but feel a little good for him, and he looked at Li * with concern: "Team Officer Li has good intentions, but the matter is serious, and it is really unsafe outside the city, Team Officer Li might as well think about it again and make a decision......

Li * bowed and said: "The villain has already thought about it, and he will lead the soldiers out of the city in the past two days, and ask Commander Liao for permission......"
