It was Xiao Yunfei's voice!

Zuo Shaoyang was in ecstasy, almost flipped over, got up, and saw Xiao Yunfei stretching a big lazy waist, looking at him with sleepy eyes.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled happily: "Brother Xiao! You ......, how are you? You okay? ”

"Do you think I'm in trouble?" Xiao Yunfei said happily.

Zuo Shaoyang looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "How is it?" ”

"Won't you go to the yamen and see for yourself? I'm too lazy to tell you, I have to go back and make up for my sleep! With that, he stretched his waist again, turned around and entered Qingfeng Temple.

"Wait! Let's go together! Dude! Huh, dude? Where's your brother? ”

As soon as he turned around, there was no longer Xiao Yunfei in the courtyard of Qingfeng Temple, as if his appearance just now was just a gust of breeze.

It's really a dragon that sees the beginning but not the end. Zuo Shaoyang sighed, turned around and walked out of the temple gate, and came to the yamen of the state capital.

Along the way, a large number of soldiers were seen carrying corpses, sweeping the streets, and cleaning up garbage. Zuo Shaoyang was very happy, it seemed that Feng Li and Xue Wanche were still very thorough in carrying out the orders of the great general Li Yuanjing, and they couldn't help but clean up the corpses, and also cleaned up the garbage in the city. I was very happy.

When he came to the yamen, there were already a lot of people gathered here, most of them hungry people with hungry faces, and they were happily pointing and talking something. Underneath the proclamation, an old scribe was reading the proclamation over and over again without any expression.

Zuo Shaoyang squeezed in to take a look, and the notice was written, but if there is a contract with the landlord to lease the land, you can go to the yamen on credit with the deed, and each tenant is limited to a maximum of ten buckets of grain on credit. Interest is calculated according to one cent, that is, eleven buckets will be returned after the autumn. In addition, from now on, the government will sell grain for 1,500 wen per bucket. Each person is limited to two buckets, and repeat purchasers, once verified, will be whipped fifty on the street, shackled to the public for one month, and the money will be confiscated.

Zuo Shaoyang was really overjoyed, and it was estimated that this notice would allow the vast majority of hungry people to stay. Seeing the hungry people onlookers, they were also elated, talking, laughing, and pointing.

The ancients were very concerned about leaving their homeland, and they were absolutely unwilling to do it as a last resort, so the exile punishment of exile thousands of miles away in ancient times was a punishment second only to the death penalty, not only because the exile had to be exiled to a poor and remote land and lived a hard labor of being a cow and a horse, but also suffered the mental pain of leaving the homeland and being far away from relatives. Now the imperial court can give grain on credit, although it has added a penny, but it is already very little, and it is cheaper than private loans.

The rich people were also very happy, a bucket of rice was 1,500 wen, although it was four times higher than before the war, but it was much cheaper than the bucket and four guan announced by the imperial court in the first day, and the well-off families could afford it. Ordinary people can also grit their teeth and buy it and eat it with wild vegetables.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yunfei really had this ability, Zuo Shaoyang was very happy, and went to the Yamen grain selling point again, and there were already many people queuing up to buy grain. These are all city dwellers, and they have some money at home. After shopping for a long time, I returned to the pharmacy happily.

From a distance, I saw a lot of people around the pharmacy, shouting. On the steps, Zuo Gui's father and Liang were so anxious that they looked around, and when they saw Zuo Shaoyang, they immediately raised their eyebrows, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhong'er, come quickly, wait for you to come!" ”

As soon as he heard that the famous model of supporting the army of the young owner of Guizhitang had returned, the people around him surrounded him again, and a thin middle-aged man said: "Model Zuo, we are here to rent your land, didn't you post a notice yesterday to ask for rent?" To tell the truth, we wanted to come yesterday, your family gave medicine porridge and saved the lives of many of our surnames, how can this favor be repaid, but at that time, the court did not say that we could give food on credit, we didn't eat, we can't rely on your family to feed, we can only go to escape the famine, thinking that we will repay this favor in the future. Now that the court has given grain on credit, we can stay, the original landlord asked us to go back to farming, we didn't agree, so we wanted to repay the favor, so we came to your house to rent. My family of three, me and my two sons, are all strong laborers, and we can rent fifteen acres! ”

"Our family has five strong laborers, and we rent twenty acres!" A young man next to him said with a grateful face: "Our family survived by relying on the medicinal porridge donated by your medicine shop, and this kindness must be repaid!" ”

"And me! We too, my family rents six acres. Another young man arched his hand and said, "We also ate your medicinal porridge to leave our surnames." ”

"And our family, my family is ten acres!"

"My family rents four acres"

…… These people are clamoring to repay the favor and rent the land of the Zuo family. Zuo Shaoyang is happy and worried, there are people who rent and farm, so there is no need to worry, but now that so many people want to rent rent, who is the tenant renting to, and are there any people who deceive the tenant deed and deceive the grain? It's really hard to be sure for a while, no wonder the second elder is in a hurry. Busy said to his father Zuo Gui: "Otherwise, go and call your brother-in-law, he is not a Yamen Qiangu scribe, he should know what to do." ”

It was really a word to wake up the dreamer, Zuo Guixi said: "Yes, yes! Just go. ”

Miao Peilan sent food to Fennel's house last time, and immediately said, "I'll go!" Then he ran away.

When Zuo Shaoyang's family posted a notice for rent last time, the forty acres of Qiao's family had not been given, so only 130 acres were rented to the outside world. It just so happened that the four brothers of the Li family wanted to rent 20 acres, and they were originally going to use modern agricultural knowledge to plant 50 acres with Miao Peilan, but now that someone is renting, there is no need to plant so much, because there are still 10 acres of barren slopes to be planted with medicinal herbs, which also needs to be cultivated, so it was decided to rent 130 acres to the outside world, and 20 acres of the remaining 40 acres were rented to the Li brothers, and the other 20 acres were cultivated by themselves and Miao Peilan using the new method, plus an uncultivated barren slope, and Miao Peilan was busy.

Therefore, Zuo Shaoyang said loudly to everyone: "Blind date, thank you for coming to help us rent our family's land, however, our family's land for rent is only one hundred and thirty acres, which may not be enough for all the people present to rent it, I can only choose some people from it, and if I can't choose it, I can only say sorry." ”

The old man who spoke first said: "It's okay, Zuo model, there are few people in Hezhou, as long as you are willing to farm, there is no tenant who can't rent land, everyone comes to your house, just to repay the favor." Just pick and choose. However, my family of three is strong and laborious, fifteen acres of land, then I have to rent it to me, and I don't want to go to other landlords. ”

"Yes, you have good eyes! I'll rent your land! Another man followed.

"That's right! No matter how you plant this land, the key is to choose a good owner, and we will recognize your sincerity! ”

"Not really! I only recognize you as the owner! ”

…… Zuo Shaoyang said loudly: "Thank you for the blind date, because we don't know about farming, but my brother-in-law is a Yamen Qiangu scribe, surnamed Hou, he will come in a while......"

The middle-aged man said: "Hou Qiangu of the county government, I know!" ”

"Do you know my brother-in-law?"

"Of course, he often goes down to the villages to collect land taxes, who doesn't know him."

Everyone else nodded.

Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed, seeing that these people were very kind when they talked about his brother-in-law Hou Pu, it seemed that his brother-in-law was quite popular among the peasants.

While he was talking, it didn't take long for Hope and Fennel to arrive. I heard that many people came to rent the land, the two were surprised and delighted, now the tenants are in demand, other landlords are worried about where to find tenants to cultivate the fields, but here they are worried about the tenants asking for tenants too many, I don't know which one to choose, it is really a stark contrast.

Seeing that Hou Pu was coming, these people knew that he was here to help with ideas, so they all gathered around and talked nonsense.

These farmers are almost all farmers near Hezhou City, and Hou Pu is really familiar with these farmers. It was soon determined that 15 original families belonged to villages near the fields, and that the family burden was not heavy, and the people were honest and honest, and they rented the 130 acres of land. The deed was immediately signed, and the tenant was demarcated to lease the land.

Zuo Shaoyang left forty acres of land for the Li brothers and himself, so that they could help each other.

Although the rest of the people did not rent the land, they still expressed their gratitude to the Zuo family, saying that if they need help in the future, they will spare no effort to help. Zuo Gui's family was busy giving gifts to express their gratitude.

After everyone dispersed, the Zuo family was very happy, and they couldn't think of the headache that had been going on, but now it was solved in one fell swoop!

Zuo Shaoyang knew that all this was because Xiao Yunfei "persuaded" Ouyang Tingshi to change his mind last night, and he must thank him well. - What method did he use to make Ouyang Tingshi change his mind overnight? Zuo Shaoyang was curious.

Miao Peilan already had a lifelong contract with Zuo Shaoyang, but only after he married a wife, on the surface, the two families had already agreed to hire Miao Peilan to farm the land and hire her mother to take care of the sick, so the Zuo family was responsible for their family's food and drink. In the hearts of the two, they are already a family, so Miao Peilan did not separate from Zuo Shaoyang on this.

Li Dazhuang's family signed a lease deed with the Zuo family, and they rented 20 acres of land. Aunt Li was old, and after a stroke, she was unable to farm, so the Liang family hired her to watch the gate of the back garden in the Qu family's old house, and usually cleaned the back garden. Eat and live, 300 wen a month. Aunt Li's family was very happy and grateful, and immediately agreed, and moved into the Qu family's old house to live, specializing in taking care of the back garden. The front door of the old mansion is still in charge of Aunt Long. The small courtyard in the west where Zuo Gui and his wife live are in charge of the maid Xiaocao. The one left behind in Guizhitang to guard the door was Ding Xiaosan, the shopkeeper.

Miao Peilan's four younger siblings and two eldest have reached the age of going to school, Zuo Shaoyang discussed with Mrs. Qu, who decided to open a private school in a small courtyard in the house to teach these children to read. The neighbors of this street heard that he opened a private school, and many people sent their children to school, and the old lady Qu was also happy to have a spiritual sustenance.
