Su Pingyang was going to go to the suburbs in advance to have a look, and to say hello, Gongzi had never been to the tenant's house, if he met Lu and saw something, it was hard to say, but unfortunately he hadn't had time to arrange it, so Gongzi specifically said, when you go to the tenant's house to see, don't alarm everyone.

Before crossing, Su Tiancheng was familiar with a lot of processes, such as going down to inspect the work, etc., if he had made preparations in advance, the situation he saw must have been a good thing, and that would have lost its meaning.

The situation is different now, these tenants are all farming for the Su family, if they can't see the real situation and deceive themselves, there may be huge trouble in the future.

Early in the morning, Su Tiancheng went out, followed by Su Pingyang and Su Ertong.

In the Su Mansion, there are ten horses, these are the horses that have not been taken away, nominally left for Su Tiancheng to train, after all, they are the children of a big family, if there are no horses in the house, it will be a shame to say.

Of course, there are still two carriages in the house, and Su Tiancheng can ride the carriage, but he refused.

It is a pity that the ten horses left in the house, except for one Mongolian horse, the rest are southwestern horses, which are used to drive carriages and transport well, and they look small when riding.

At the end of October, it was already winter.

Half an hour later, Su Tiancheng and his entourage came to the suburbs.

He finally saw his family's fertile land.

Five hundred hectares of fertile land, all connected together, Su Pingyang has already introduced the situation in detail, those lands that can not be connected, the lord has already dealt with them slowly, and the land left behind, on the whole, is good.

The 500 hectares of land is 7,500 acres, and there are 14 Beijing Workers' Stadiums.

The terrain around Pingyang Mansion City is dominated by hills, followed by Pingchuan, there are not many mountains and rivers, and it is not the kind of mountains that people understand, the fields of the Su family are basically Pingchuan, the first time I saw this large piece of land, Su Tiancheng thought of a word: a horse Pingchuan.

In his imagination, the tenants of the Su family should at least live together, that is, the houses are at least contiguous, but unfortunately he did not see such a situation, around the fields, there are many adobe houses, low and cold, and the roofs of these adobe houses are all covered with thatch and straw.

Su Tiancheng's face has changed, people often talk about evil landlords, many times, it is because of the needs of publicity, but the situation I have seen has shown that the Su family is very mean to the tenants, these tenants have not followed the Su family for a day or two, almost all of them have been more than ten years, and they have planted land for the Su family for so many years, and they can't afford to live in a decent house. At this moment, he thought of the eldest lady again, Su Pingyang had already said that the management of the tenants was all responsible for the eldest wife.

Riding to a small forest, Su Tiancheng dismounted, walked to a small tree, and tied the reins.

"Young master, you don't want to ride a horse anymore, it's not a short distance to walk from here."

"Uncle, let's go over and see, don't ride a horse, Ertong, you wait here, take care of the horses."

"Young master, you and your father should ride over."

Su Tiancheng shook his head and slowly walked towards the nearest house, seeing such a situation, Su Pingyang whispered a few words to Su Ertong.

Before the hour, the autumn harvest season had passed for a long time, and the fields were bare, and nothing could be seen.

Su Tiancheng was a little strange, it was said that he was going to sow winter wheat, but there was nothing in the field.

Walking to the side of the field, Su Tiancheng squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil with his hand, the soil was very dry, almost impossible to knead into a ball, the breeze blew, and the dust could be seen.

Su Tiancheng's brows furrowed, it seems that this land is very short of water, and on such a land, thinking about how big the harvest is, it is not very likely. After standing up, Su Tiancheng looked around the field, and he didn't find a ditch, let alone a diversion ditch for irrigation.

"Uncle, there are no water diversion ditches around this large field."

"Childe, the harvest on the land is not good, where did the money come from to build ditches?"

"Uncle, don't fool me, if you want to say that the harvest is not good, that is, in recent years, the previous harvest is not good, according to the saying, such a large piece of land, there is indeed no ditch construction."

Su Pingyang is very attentive to Childe's words and deeds, because Childe's changes are too great, he needs special attention, originally thought that Childe was a whim, went to the suburbs to see, and soon went back, but it was just a quick look, but Childe's series of measures made him begin to be surprised, he was able to squat down, pinch the field, and judge that the field was short of water, which was not simple, and people who were not familiar with farm work could not do such an action.

The point is that Childe hasn't planted a day's land.

"Uncle, tell you the truth, does the family know how to collect rent, and don't ask anything else."

Su Pingyang nodded, such a thing, how can he say it, it is all a matter decided by the lord and the lady.

Su Tiancheng stopped talking and walked straight towards a house.

The door of the house is hidden, to be precise, it can't be regarded as the door of the house, it is two door panels, and it is not so tight, when Su Tiancheng knocked on the door, the door shaft made a creaking sound.

"Is there anyone at home?"

There was a rustling sound, and after a while, a man came to open the door.

When the man saw Su Tiancheng, he was greatly surprised, without him, Su Tiancheng was wearing a brocade robe, with a fair face and a good temperament, and his identity was definitely not ordinary.

Su Tiancheng was still surprised, this man, he couldn't tell how old he was, with dry hair and a dark face, he seemed to know that Lu Dao had been farming for a long time.

Hair is dry and obviously malnourished.

The man's body was draped in a cotton jacket, and several large patches on the cotton jacket were particularly dazzling, and the man was wearing a coarse cloth placket, shirtless, and obviously hadn't gotten up yet.

"Y-Who are you looking for?"

"This is the young master of Su Mansion, and I came here today to take a look."

The man looked very frightened, but the careful Su Tiancheng still found out, and the man's eyes revealed resentment.

"Old, master, my family's rent is really not paid, and there is almost no food at home."

"I'm not here to collect rent, I'm here to see your house."

The man was very surprised, the young master of Su Mansion, come to his house to see, what does this mean.

"Master, wait a minute, the family hasn't gotten up yet, don't be angry."

It is said that the peasant family is very industrious, even if there is no farm work, it will not sleep until this time, besides, there is no entertainment nowadays, the sunset rests, the sunrise works, according to the time after a few hundred years, after seven o'clock, after seven o'clock, until eight o'clock the next morning, has not gotten up, slept long enough.

Besides, it's the busy farming season.

Perhaps seeing the young master's doubts, Su Pingyang behind him spoke.

"Young master, tenants are like this, they won't get up until after the end of the day, in fact, it's not that they want to sleep, so they can save food as much as possible."

Su Tiancheng felt distressed, and used the method of sleeping to save food, he hadn't heard of it, but he hadn't seen it, but now he finally saw it, and it was his own tenant.

The man finally opened the door, a little girl pulled the man's clothes, with fingers in her mouth, and saw Su Tiancheng, her eyes were also frightened, and the woman who followed the man had a slightly swollen face.

"Hurry up and kneel, my lord has come to see our family."

Seeing the skinny little girl, Su Tiancheng finally couldn't hold back his anger, his eldest mother, she simply wanted money and didn't want to die, the tenants were like this, and what she thought of was that the tenants would pay the grain, and when the time came, the tenants would rebel, and she knew that she was powerful.

But this anger can only be endured alive, and you can't lose your temper in front of the tenants.

Su Tiancheng stepped forward and grabbed the little girl.

"Don't kneel, I'm here to see."

Because of the anger in his heart, Su Tiancheng's tone of speech was a little wrong, the man was at a loss, looking at Su Tiancheng, the woman lowered her head, as for the little girl, she was pulled by Su Tiancheng and didn't dare to move.
