"Steward Cui, you don't have to look at me so unhappy, it's because your Cui family is not authentic, can you blame me?" Chen Fei said.

The Cui steward in front of Chen Fei, that is, the Cui family's steward in the Bozhou Annex, is responsible for managing the Cui family's land and land in Bozhou. And this Cui steward is very resentful of Chen Fei, because Chen Fei has liberated the people in the Cui family's courtyard since the last time he carried out the action of organizing households and uniting the people. Since then, the people have regained their freedom and can own their own land. As for the Cui family, it is just that they have to spend more to recruit people to rent their land. But the Cui family paid a lot of price because of this, and his income as a steward has also decreased a lot. If it weren't for the internal friction of the Cui family competing for the position of the head of the family, I'm afraid they would have gotten up and cleaned up Chen Fei a long time ago, at least Chen Fei would have returned to Chang'an in ashes.

"Chen joins the army, you should know that our Cui family is a well-known wealthy family, maybe it will suffer a loss for a while now, but once the Cui family reacts, it will definitely be able to make those who covet our Cui family look good!" Steward Cui said.

Chen Fei immediately laughed and said, "We'll wait and see!" ”

"However, Steward Cui, of course I called you here today because of my business. I'm going to go down to the countryside and set up some village offices, each of which is about one or two people, not too many. And the people in these offices are also responsible for collecting some public sentiments and public opinions, and will not directly manage the people. We can even teach some farming techniques that can increase the yield of the land. Chen Fei said.

"Oh? How much will the land be produced? Steward Cui asked.

Steward Cui is concerned about the method of increasing the yield of the land, because only when the land is increased can their Cui family get more. After all, in ancient times, even the big families hoped that the land could increase production, after all, they were the landlords, and only when the land production increased could they get more benefits. Even if it is a big family, they are all landlords. Rarely will be in business. Now that he heard that Chen Fei had a way to increase land production, Steward Cui was also very interested.

"As far as our wheat is concerned, if we can increase the yield by two percent, if we can do it well, then we can increase it by four or five percent." Chen Fei said.

Steward Cui's eyes are green, because the method of being able to increase the output by four or five percent is simply against the sky. If Chen Fei was willing to tell him this method, he would probably not care about Chen Fei's offending of their Cui family at that time. Even, if Chen Fei is willing to give this method to the Cui family for free, then Chen Fei and the Cui family have a grudge before. It's nothing. After all, although Chen Fei caused a certain loss to the Cui family, this method can completely make up for it. As long as there is such a method, the Cui family is also willing to fight with Chen Fei.

"Steward Cui, we had some unpleasantness with the Cui family before, and the Cui family is also a big family, if it keeps getting stiff, it won't be good for me. Therefore, I plan to put aside the fight with the Cui family for the time being, and let the people live a better life first. How is it? Chen Fei said.

"I can report this to my family, but what is the method?" Steward Cui said.

Chen Fei shook his head and said, "I'll talk to you about the conditions first, these methods are not gratuitous. The condition is that our government will also send people from the village office, and then stay in the village to guide the people to cultivate grain. Then collect some public sentiment and public opinion. These methods will be taught to the common people by us ourselves, and we will not tell you directly. ”

"Second, we have taught the people these methods, and your Cui family cannot take the opportunity to increase the proportion of land sharing. As far as I know, it turned out to be four or six points. Sixty percent of the Cui family is forty percent of the people. Now you are generally four or six points opposite to the people, that is, the people are sixty percent and your Cui family is forty percent. Of course, here is mainly my reason. But now I'm not interested in knowing how much you've gotten. I just want to tell you that in the future, when the income from the land increases, you will not be able to take the opportunity to sit on the land and change the share with the people. Otherwise, the benefits will be all for you, and the people will not be able to get any benefits, so isn't it in vain? ”

Steward Cui thought for a moment and said, "I can report to the family." ”

Steward Choi soon went back, perhaps through the pigeon, so they recovered in less than six hours. Of course, this is also the reason why Bozhou and Bay are very close to each other, so the message delivery speed is also very fast. However, this Cui family is really rich, and the distance between Bozhou and Beizhou is so close, and pigeons are also prepared, which is really luxurious.

"Our eldest and second sons have also agreed, as long as you can send officials to teach our tenants to use new methods of farming, then we can not change the share with the farmers. Our Cui family also wants face! Steward Cui said.

This is actually not unexpected by Chen Fei, the Cui family is still very "face", because the Cui family is also a good person in front of the people, and it seems to be very good to the people. If a new method of increasing production is obtained, then the Cui family will immediately increase the proportion of the share, which will really force the hearts of all the people away. After all, no one wants to follow a family that wants money to die, so the Cui family can't change the sharing ratio, otherwise they will definitely lose the hearts of the people. Once they lose the hearts of the people, it will be easy for the court to clean them up in the future.

"Our eldest son and second son hope that you will quickly send officials to teach the people to farm, so that we can get income as soon as possible." Steward Cui said.

Chen Fei thought with a secret smile in his heart: "It seems that the eldest son and the second son of the Cui family really can't wait, they have just lost most of their power, and they are anxious to buy family members from getting money." The days of living in my hometown are not as good as day by day, and who knows when I will burp, so I want to increase my income as soon as possible. However, I'm afraid it's too late now, it's already April, and the autumn harvest is less than four months away, and I'm afraid that if you want to increase your income, you will have to wait until next year. ”

Chen Fei also sighed that time flies quickly, and he has been coming to this Bozhou for about half a year, and he can be regarded as doing something for the people. However, Chen Fei also began to lay out, and the layout can gradually lead to the gradual extinction of the family in the future.

"When you have this method to increase production, it means that your family will begin to die out gradually." Chen Fei thought secretly. (To be continued......)
