Chapter 587: Farmer

Soon, everyone stopped in front of a house that was leaning against a hill with a large number of birch trees, and the view was very good. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And the house in front of you, built with a small gatehouse standing on the wall, above the lintel, there is a wishful shape of the flower ornament, into the door, there is a delicate shadow wall, this is Zhao Rongsheng's newly purchased residence, can be described as a spacious atmosphere, from now on, Zhao Rongsheng is also a big family.

Although Zhao Rongsheng is young, only in his twenties, he already has a son and two daughters, his wife Yang, a child daughter-in-law who has been at home since he was a child, Zhao Rongsheng's parents died when he was a child, Zhao Rongsheng and Yang's were both raised by their grandfathers, and they lived in hardship in the past, and they had no money and food to get married.

However, not long after Zhao Rongsheng joined the army, he married the Yang family, looking at the old soldiers of the Jingbian Army, most of them are like this, only the group of 5,000 people in the second class army in previous years will be slightly relaxed about whether they are married, but now, they are basically married.

Yang is two years older than Zhao Rongsheng, most of the child daughters-in-law are like this, she is a virtuous woman, plus her children are well-behaved, she is very satisfied with her current life, but like every wife, she is always worried about whether her husband can return from the expedition.

Seeing Yang's, everyone didn't dare to slack off, Luo Liangzuo and Lai Dexiang called their sisters-in-law, Han Kaihui and a few people, busy calling their wives, and presented some small gifts brought, Yang was very happy to accept the gifts, a few polite words, and Zhao Rongsheng said a few words, and then retreated to the backyard, leaving the living room to her husband to entertain guests.

Luo Liangzuo and Lai Dexiang were quite restrained in front of the Yang family, but as soon as the woman left, their original forms were immediately revealed, and their spirits came alive, Luo Liangzuo raised Erlang's legs, looked around the hall of the house, and said enviously: "Lao Zhao's house is really good, I'm afraid it's B-class, right?" ”

Lai Dexiang said: "Definitely." The price is expensive, and only Lao Zhao can buy it. ”

Zhao Rongsheng leaned back comfortably in the chair and said, "My aunt-in-law." Since she was a child, she has suffered with me, and when she has money, let her enjoy it. ”

Luo Liangzuo patted his leg and said, "Yes, I bought a Grade C mansion." Damn, after my aunt came over, she cried for three days. Howling birds? People who don't understand still think that my family is doing a funeral. ”

Everyone laughed and discussed with each other, not to mention Zhao Rongsheng, such as Luo Liangzuo, Lai Dexiang, Mu Dachang, Han Kaihui, this kind of team officer-level person, after buying a house. Coincidentally, they all hired servants, and in the future, they invited coachmen and grooms, and hired housekeepers, all of which were also considered by everyone.

Wu Dingguo, Liu Lie and other people at the first level of the first rank. After buying a house, I hired a maid, and as for the housekeeper and the like, I am still thinking about it.

Everyone was full of interest, and they were all full of longing for the future life, Luo Liangzuo suddenly patted his leg again: "It's not good, just care about being happy, my old Luo family is thin, these hundreds of acres of fertile land are divided, how to cultivate?" Do you see that the fertile land is wasted? ”

Lai Dexiang is a shrewd person, and he has long considered this matter, he said: "Don't worry, at present, the East Road ploughing team, mining team, and iron team...... Everywhere, the logistics department also takes this into account, and will liaise with the farming team and the grazing team for us, and collect some wages and fees every year. ”

Luo Liangzuo put his mind at ease: "This dare is good, but is this salary expensive?" If it's expensive, someone would rather find someone to plow it himself. ”

was discussing in full swing, a black and strong woman came in, but it was Zhao Rongsheng, a distant relative who had been separated by an unknown number of generations, and he was honest, so he stayed as a domestic helper.

He Zhao Rongsheng has become the first chief, especially the current general queen, and the relatives who can't beat the eight poles on weekdays have come to the door, Zhao Rongsheng never imagined that he had so many relatives, but why did he never see them since he was a child?

This woman Zhao Rongsheng called her aunt, surnamed Sun, but she knew the rules, she held a name card in her hand, and after coming in, she said: "Master, there is a businessman surnamed Zheng outside the door who asks to see him, this is his name post." ”

Zhao Rongsheng took a look, and there was a rectangular "name post" in front of him, about seven inches long and three inches wide, in the style of big red and red paper, with several major events written on it: "Zheng's Agricultural Bank, Zheng Chen".

On the "name post", Zheng Chen's two words, even bigger, this is the custom at this time, indicating the meaning of humility, the name is small, it will be regarded as arrogant, and the name post, the use of the Ming Dynasty is universal, up to the cabinet minister, down to the Qinglou woman, almost anyone, everywhere is used.

"Zheng's Agricultural Bank?"

Zhao Rongsheng groaned, as if he had heard of it, and he ordered: "Let the person surnamed Zheng come in." ”

Soon, a businessman in his forties, with a mustache on his chin, medium height, and a shrewd and kind expression came in, and when he saw so many officers in the hall, his eyes flashed with surprise, and he politely said to Zhao Rongsheng: "Zheng Chen, a contemptible Zheng of the Agricultural Bank, has seen Captain Zuo, and I have seen all captains. ”

It turned out that this Zheng Chen was a manager of Zheng's Agricultural Bank, and Zheng's Agricultural Bank was a newly established farm commercial bank, and Zheng Chen, as a manager under his name, specially attracted customers.

The land sale on the East Road is now strictly restricted, and it is even more difficult to merge with each other, and Wang Dou has many preferential conditions for farming, and the production of commercial grain and the operation of livestock farms are also a matter of steady profit.

Moreover, for businessmen, in addition to meritorious service, it is not easy to obtain land and pasture outside the Saiwai, so many businessmen saw the business opportunities and came up with ways to rent fields from the soldiers of the Jingbian Army in Baoan Prefecture and other places to operate, and the two sides were mutually beneficial.

In particular, Zheng Jinglun, the current president of the Sanjin Commercial Bank, first set up a large-scale commercial bank specializing in farms, and rented fields and pastures from officers at all levels of the Jingbian Army who had been allocated a large amount of land and had no spare land to cultivate.

Many powerful businessmen have followed the trend, and mushrooms have sprung up, and farms, pastures, and agricultural banks have been established on East Road and in Xuanfu Town.

"The proprietor of the contempt line is Zheng Jinglun Zheng, the chairman of the Sanjin Commercial Bank, and he has dozens of farming teams, grazing teams, and mining teams, which are strong...... In the past two months, there have been Captain Han and North Korea, Captain Gao Shiyin, Captain Zhong Tiaoyang, Zhong Zuo, Xie Shangbiao, Xie Youdu, and so on...... They agreed that they would like to hand over their fields, pastures, mines, etc., to the camp of contempt......"

"The reputation of the line is the first, and the solemn promise is that the dividends obtained will be high for the rental of ordinary farming teams, etc., and ......"

Zheng Chen's mouth was like a river, and he also took out a delicate little abacus from his arms, crackled, and introduced hard, if everyone in the hall rented the fields and pastures under their names to the Agricultural Bank, and the annual harvest profits would definitely be much higher than farming by themselves or handing over to the farming team for cultivation, and there was no need to work hard.

Moreover, their Agricultural Bank has filed cases in the Department of Suppression and Pacification and the Department of Civil Affairs, so they must not be deceived and dare not deceive everyone.

Under his hard introduction, Zhao Rongsheng and others are all excited, this dare is good, you don't need to do it yourself, sit and collect grain every year, at most, just send a housekeeper to inspect a few times a year.

Lai Dexiang was shrewd and glanced at Zhao Rongsheng, Zhao Rongsheng understood, and said, "That's it, let me think about it again." ”

Zheng Chen smiled: "Of course, the contemptible will visit another day." ”

Soon after Zheng Chen went, everyone in the hall was still arguing about whether to hand over the land to Zheng's Agricultural Bank to operate, but when they saw Aunt Sun coming in at this time, they handed a name card to Zhao Rongsheng: "Master, there is a businessman surnamed Lai outside the door who asks to see him, this is his name card." ”

Soon, a fat man dressed in luxurious clothes and smiling came in, but it was Lai's Manor, a steward under his name.

"The contemptible Lai's Manor is full of people, I have seen Captain Zuo, and I have seen all the captains."

"The proprietor of the disdainful line is the vice president of the Sanjin Commercial Bank, Lai Manchenglai, and he is ...... strong."

"Disdain the solemn promise, the dividends are ......"

On this day, Zhao Rongsheng and others received a total of six waves of farm and livestock businessmen.

This scene also occurred in the homes of many Jingbian Army officers who had obtained land, and capitalist farmers were born on Donglu without realizing it......

……

The vast Great Plain of North China.

It's almost summer, but when you look up, it's still full of desolation, and in the distance, you don't seem to see any life, and the towns along the way, all lifeless, this anointed land, has lost its vitality.

Baoding Mansion, not far from the Yishui River, came a group of refugees with their families, all ragged and unkempt, but looking at Yizhou in front of them, they all had hope in their eyes.

Among the crowd, there was a family, about seven or eight in size, the eldest was over sixty years old, with messy hair all white, wrinkles on his face, and a padded jacket on his body, which was also full of holes, and the youngest was less than ten years old.

A yellow and thin little girl, she was held in the arms of a woman, her limbs shrunk weakly, she moved, and said softly: "Mother, Yaya is so hungry!" ”

The woman comforted: "Yaya, when you arrive in Yizhou and enter Bauhinia Pass, you will not be far from the East Road of Xuanfu Town, and Yaya will be able to eat enough." ”

The little girl hummed obediently.

Looking ahead, among this group of people, several middle-aged or young men with sticks also showed anticipation in their eyes, hoping to reach Xuanfu Town East Road as soon as possible, so that their family could live.

At the same time, they are also afraid, afraid, that Xuanfu Town East Road will not be as legendary, in that way, their family will come to a dead end.

"It's finally almost here, and I don't know how the baby is doing in Xuanfu Town."

In the crowd, there are some carriages and horses, which are quite attractive, one of the big cars, there is a middle-aged woman, and three younger young women, all holding children in their arms, they look like Han Kaihui.

There are also some men walking around the cart, but they are Han Kaihui's family in Zhending Mansion, as well as several brothers-in-law, and their father and sisters.

After receiving Han Kaihui's letter, in view of the deteriorating and deteriorating surrounding environment, full of hungry people who wanted to eat a large family, Han's father made a quick decision, sold the pastoral house handed down from his ancestors, and moved his family to Donglu Road.

This does require a lot of courage, how can the Han family say that there are also 100 acres of fertile land in the local area, and there are some loyal servants to protect the home, and the proprietors are gone, and they also migrate together, so among the group, there are many young and strong, and they have traveled long distances, and they have a little bit of self-preservation.
