Chapter 21: The Consciousness of Poverty
Her Royal Highness the princess roughly told **** Liang what he was going to do, **** Liang heard that it was a trial of high-yield crops, his honest and loyal face immediately became a little serious, his eyes were so bright that he was about to catch up with the searchlight, and he was more and more respectful to Princess Pingyang, and frequently responded, solemnly saying that he would definitely cooperate with Xue Lang.
After roughly discussing the process, Princess Pingyang allocated a free garden for Xue Lang to breed.
It was a yard with a garden, and the space was quite spacious, but there were few houses, and it used to be used for gardeners to raise seedlings and stay, and the conditions were not good. After Princess Pingyang came to Weize Pass, she requisitioned these vacant houses and converted them into the princess's mansion.
The garden is not far from the Tingfeng Courtyard where Xue Lang lives, and he is a person who wants to complete it as soon as possible if he has something at hand. At that moment, he took **** Liang directly to the garden, and just came out of the arch, and the waiting Changjian immediately followed-
"Uncle Xue!"
Liang, this kid looked at Changjian meaningfully.
That's right, until the outcome of the matter comes out, it needs to be kept secret. Xue Lang nodded and asked Changjian to go back first. Chang Jian's eyes were a little gloomy, thinking that he understood that he had not yet gained Xue Lang's trust.
Xue Langcai didn't care what he thought, he was kind to people from the beginning, he couldn't do it. The matter of breeding and trial breeding is very important, and it is obviously inappropriate to let Changjian rush in.
With **** Liang to the idle and barren garden, this garden has not been taken care of for a long time, the grass and trees in the garden themselves grow messy, lush, correspondingly, there are a lot of weeds, however, it can also be seen that the soil quality here is good.
"Ma Zheng, your sergeant is from a government soldier?"
Xue Lang asked. Liang said humbly: "Uncle Xue can call me Yuan Liang or Shiro." The soldiers under the little nephew are all from the government soldiers, and they are all good at marching and fighting, farming and plowing. ”
Being called uncle by a teenager with an uncle's face, Xue Lang felt slightly complicated, and could only comfort himself, just get used to it. Glancing at the lush seedlings and weeds growing in the garden, he asked, "How many people do you have?" ”
"There are exactly 50 people, Uncle Xue, are these people still enough? If it is not enough, the little nephew can apply to the lady and assign some more people to come over. ”
Liang also seems to want this merit, and his attitude is very serious and positive. Xue Lang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "No need, 50 people can't use it up." Since you have enough manpower, you don't bother the two masters, so you can bring people over this afternoon, get these seedlings away, dig the soil deeper, take advantage of the good sun, expose it to the sun for a few days, and get some lime, turn over the soil and sprinkle lime, and expose it to the sun for a few days. ”
"Whoa! The little nephew will do it. ”
After that, **** Liang went to call someone. Xue Lang didn't know the way, so he could only wait for him to bring someone over, fortunately, **** Liang did things very neatly, and after a while, he came over with a team of people and pointed at Xue Lang: "This is Lord Xue, the person sent by the general to be in charge, in the future, including me, everything will be under the command of Master Xue." ”
"Whoa!"
Fifty people responded violently, all of them saluted Xue Lang, Xue Lang hurriedly said: "All the sergeants are exempt, in the future, everyone will be in the same boat, and there is nothing else to say, let's work together to get things done, when the time comes, everyone will have the credit, and you will not be allowed to work in vain." ”
The eyes of all the sergeants lit up a little, and they were busy and hard every day, isn't it for the credit! This Xue Zhubo is really truthful when he speaks, and he is not the kind of person who fools people with a false head and a brain.
"Uncle Xue, you don't have the tools to take advantage of, you have to find some tools to take advantage of."
"There's no need to worry about this, the general is thoughtful, and he will definitely be delivered."
Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, Lady Liu brought people to bring all kinds of tools, saws, machetes, hoes, and even a ploughing ox with a plow. However, this plough is very different from the style Xue Lang has seen, the plough wheel is straight and long, and it looks very bulky-
Xue Lang patted his head, remembering that he had learned in history class that the Quyuan plow would not be invented in the Jiangdong generation until the late Tang Dynasty, and it was still the early Tang Dynasty, and the straight and long plough was still being used.
After taking a history class, Xue Lang can draw. Approaching spring ploughing, it is the time when the farm work is busy, go back to draw the Quyuan plow, let Her Royal Highness the princess make people do it, just take advantage of the spring ploughing to promote.
Liang immediately led the people to work in full swing. Xue Lang wanted to go back to get the seeds, but he didn't know the way, so he happened to go back with Lady Liu.
Seeing that Xue Langcai was alone, Lady Liu immediately asked, "Why didn't Changjian follow?" ”
Xue Lang smiled embarrassedly: "Isn't this going to come over to do something?" His Royal Highness attaches so much importance to it, and I don't want to bring people over. ”
Lady Liu said euphemistically: "This is a slave, I forgot to inform Master Xue of the rules of the house." His Royal Highness is quite strict with the rules, and the servants in the palace can all abide by it, and Master Xue can rest assured. ”
Xue Lang understood in seconds: "In this case, let Changjian follow in the future, lest I don't know the way and can't find the way back." ”
Lady Liu smiled and bowed her head, because she was not all the way with Xue Lang, she sent a maid beside her to lead Xue Lang. When Xue Lang saw the plaque of Tingfeng Courtyard, he thanked the maid and went back by himself.
"Lang Jun!"
Changjian thought that he had been waiting at the door, and when he saw Xue Lang coming back, he immediately came out: "But the sister of Lady Liu sent Lang Jun back?" ”
"Yes, I'll go over later, you can follow Changjian."
Changjian's expression immediately lit up, and he almost beat a thousand in ecstasy: "Changjian will definitely do things with his heart." ”
Xue Lang nodded. Changjian cautiously reminded: "The sister who sent Lang Jun back just now, Lang Jun gave a reward?" ”
Xue Lang was stunned and patted his head: "I forgot, did you remember the appearance of the girl just now?" ”
"The little one recognizes her, she is Sister Green's side of Lady Liu."
"You help me remember her."
"Whoa."
Xue Lang went into the inner courtyard, Mo Zhu and Lamei were guarding the door of the bedroom to do needlework, as soon as they saw Xue Lang enter the inner courtyard, they immediately threw away the needle and thread, and came to dust him and pour water, Xue Lang only needed to stand still, and someone sent him hot water with a suitable temperature to make everything smooth for him.
This is the advantage of having slaves and maids, but it costs money to keep them. The current Mozhu is a few people in Princess Pingyang's mansion, including himself, and his salary is from Princess Pingyang.
If you walk in this house, you have to follow the rules of the house, and it is impossible to still hold modern standards. Changjian reminded him well, he is an outsider, the servant is in the princess's mansion, except for the people assigned to him, he has tired others, and he has to give a reward according to the rules, and the reward can't be given by Princess Pingyang!
You can't give reward money indiscriminately, and you should be measured when you give it. Like a few long and frugal, helping him do things well, that is, he is meritorious, and he can give rewards, which he doesn't need on weekdays.
The so-called merit is not punished, and there is no reason to stuff people with money, but I am afraid that everyone has to think about it, what are you doing here? Is it to buy someone else's servant? This servant betrayed the master, which was a taboo in ancient times.
Thinking about it this way, Xue Lang only had one feeling-
Poor!
In the morning, I felt that there were people ready for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there was no place to spend thirty yuan for settling in, so I felt poor to death at this time! It seems that no matter where you are, it is not easy to build a home.
Make money, find a way to make money! It's time to get on the agenda!
