Chapter 008 Old Peasant Ma Five
Liu Cong's ears were sharp, and when he got up and walked out, he seemed to hear the old bustard's muttering, so he glanced back and scolded himself: "Old goblin, you are too damn to underestimate people." You don't stare at a pair of bird's eyes to take a good look, my lord, I'm such a! I will see me clean you up, and let you see what kind of character I am. ”
Liu Cong thought like this, so he went into the private room and sat down, waiting to talk to the old man.
After a while, the old man came in, came in and stood there restrainedly, looking at Liu Cong with a worrisome look.
Liu Cong knew that the people who believed in the crops had never seen the world, and they were afraid of seeing the living, and they didn't know how to deal with them when they saw the living, so they were afraid of restraint.
Liu Cong pointed to the case next to him and said gently: "Don't be restrained by the old man. Come here, come here, sit down, I have something to ask you. ”
Where did the old man dare to sit, when he heard Liu Cong say that he wanted to ask, he didn't know what royal law he had committed, but he trembled all over, couldn't even speak clearly, and stammered: "Master, I, I've been here for more than ten days, and I'm only busy working in this brothel all day long, and I don't know anything." ”
Liu Cong scolded: "Damn, you think I'm here to track down the fugitives, right? No, I was thinking of looking into growing crops. ”
The old man only listened to Liu Cong's scolding mother, but he really didn't understand the words in the back, so he was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and he didn't stand or sit.
When Liu Cong saw it, he put down a smile and asked, "What's the old man's name?" ”
"Sir. Under the name of Ma Wu, the home is in the south of the city ten miles of village. ”
Liu Cong heard that this name was very good, and said with a smile: "Good name, good name, you still have the surname Ma there?" ”
"Yes, sir. There are 80 families in the village, most of whom have the surname Ma. ”
"How many people do you have? What do you live on? ”
"A family of five. Farming for a living. My wife, son and daughter-in-law, and I have a grandson who is five years old. ”
Liu Cong saw that the conversation gradually picked up, and asked the old man: "How many acres of land have you planted?" ”
"Master, I planted fifteen acres of land and raised a cow. When the farm is not working, I ask someone to find a way to live, come out to work, and earn a few dollars to subsidize the family. ”
Liu Cong was happy when he heard this, and thought to himself, "Okay." I'm looking for such a farmer to find out about the tuntian. ”
At this time, the old bustard sent pheasants to tease Liu Cong in batches, so he thought about putting Liu Cong down and taking out the money in his arms later.
The first three pheasants came in, one with a tray, one with a teapot, and one with a few cups. After entering the door, he put the tea set on the case, came over and leaned on Liu Cong's shoulder, grinding and teasing Liu Cong.
Liu Cong squinted and saw that the three pheasants were really high-grade, all of them were watery, as if they were about to come out of the water when they touched it.
However, Liu Cong's mind is not on them now, but on the major events in Tuntian, so he pulled the two pheasants beside him, hugged them in his arms, and squeezed them hard, and the two pheasants cried bitterly, begging not to dare, saying that it was a squeeze that hurt.
Liu Cong laughed, let go of these two, and said, "Such a coward, I still want to come over and tease the second master!" The second master's guy is sharper than a knife, can you stand it? ”
The two pheasants pouted and played with Laipi, and they couldn't get up in Liu Cong's arms.
Liu Cong grabbed the thin waists of the two of them, lifted them up and pushed them aside, pulled the one behind him over, put it on his knees, hugged it tightly, and then lowered his head, opened the mouth of the lion-like blood basin, buckled it on the pheasant's small mouth, and then came a hundred degrees of hot kiss.
Liu Cong kept kissing the pheasant so crookedly that his hands and feet were moving around, grabbing everywhere, before he let go and said, "Master, I have something to do today, and I don't have the time to clean up your prodigal hooves." Go back and wait, and wash it up. Wait for the second master to pour out his efforts and line up to clean you up. Kindness! The second master's guy is powerful, as I said just now, it is sharper than a knife and harder than an iron rod. Prepare well, and don't beg for mercy when the time comes! ”
After speaking, he ate a few bites of tofu towards the three pheasants, such as buttocks and fat breasts, and waved his hand and ordered: "Go out, wash up, and wait for the second master to come over and clean you up." ”
However, the three pheasants still chirped and did not leave, sticking to Liu Cong's back and rubbing their shoulders and back.
Liu Cong glanced at Ma San, and was thinking about asking, but he was harassed by the three pheasants behind him.
Liu Cong was anxious for a while, so he became angry and shouted: "Get out!" ”
With this one cuff, the dust on the roof fell.
The three pheasants were frightened at once, and went out with a hum.
Only then did Liu Cong calm down and ask Ma Wu questions.
However, look at Ma Wu standing there with a sallow face, as if he had a stomachache, his hands clenched into fists, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.
Liu Cong knew that this was another mistake that the country bear couldn't see the world, so he wanted to reconcile the atmosphere, so he picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and put it on the case, and said: "Ma Wu, Ma Wu, come and sit down and drink tea, drink tea and talk, what are you nervous about." ”
Ma Wu still didn't dare to raise his head, but just glanced at Liu Cong from the corner of his eyes, and replied in a snort: "Master, I'm not thirsty." If you have anything to say, just ask. ”
Liu Cong asked about some farming, and learned that this farmer farmed, like the Ma Wu family, planting fifteen acres of land, except for spring plowing and spring ploughing, autumn ploughing and autumn planting every year, most of the time is free. Even in spring and autumn, because the family has cattle, this little farm work is not enough, "I only do more than a month of work a year, and the rest of the time, it is mixed like this." So I asked someone to come out to work and earn a few dollars to subsidize the family. ”
When Liu Cong heard this, he had a bottom in his heart, knowing that he was going to be in Jingzhou, and the land, labor, and means of production would not be a problem. He was happy in his heart and scolded: "Pang Tong Xu Shu, two rotten Confucians, know how to find chapters and sentences at home, where do you know the actual situation?" If the two of them had gone to the countryside to investigate and study as soon as possible, like me, wouldn't the problem of Tuntian have been solved long ago? Damn! ”
Liu Cong scolded here and said: "The labor force of Tuntian is more than 100,000 troops in Jingzhou, and people from all walks of life in Jingzhou must be mobilized to participate in Tuntian." It's not, the labor problem is solved. The second problem is idle land, listening to Ma Wu, there is idle land. With thousands of miles of territory in Jingzhou, will he have no idle land? Hey, I, Liu Cong, am in charge of Jingzhou, who dares not let me reclaim the tuntian? The third issue is the means of production, including cattle and farming implements. It's easy to do. The yamen had no money, so they temporarily continued to use the common people's cattle and compensated them later. Isn't this the three elements of Tuntian solved?
Well, when I went back, I ordered Pang Tong Xu Shu to write out the "Tuntian Order" and the "Tuntian Detailed Rules", distribute them to the yamen, and immediately implement the Tuntian. ”
When Liu Cong thought of this, he felt that he had just asked Ma Wu in the house and got these conclusions, and he always felt unsure.
Liu Cong thought about going to Mawu Village to inspect for a few days.
Then he said to Ma Wu: "Old Ma, like this." I am Liu Cong in Jingzhou! I'm going to promote Tuntian in Jingzhou, so I ask you to come and investigate first. Well, tomorrow, I'm going to visit your village. As for you, you won't have to work here these days. Just accompany me on the inspection. Salary, I'll flip it for you. Do you think it's okay? ”008
