Yue Laifu and Shunbao father and son stood in front of the living room, respectfully looking at Yue Yang sitting in the living room.

Especially Shunbao, looking at Yue Yang, there was a trace of amazement and admiration in his eyes. Shunbao has grown up with Yue Yang since he was a child, and he knows Yueyang's temperament very well, originally Yueyang's temperament was extremely gentle, and he was also very kind to his subordinates, although such a person was a good master, but he was not necessarily a good owner and leader.

But Shun Bao was surprised now, since Yue Yang received a heavy blow to the head in Yingzhou City and led him to a coma, he woke up and changed very much, just like today's weapon fight Shun Bao has witnessed with his own eyes, although Yue Yang's appearance in the weapon fight is a little unsatisfactory, but in the face of the aggressive second son of the Wang family, he did not show weakness, not only dared to order the tenants of Wuli Village to take the initiative to attack, but also shouted "Kill me" This kind of words, this is not ordinary boldness, Shunbao didn't dare to say such a domineering sentence when he asked himself.

Yue Laifu respectfully bowed to Yue Yang and said respectfully: "Young Master, what do you have to tell you to come to the villain?" ”

Yue Yang glanced at Yue Laifu's father and son with interest, and gently pointed to the chair next to him and smiled: "Uncle Yue, you are here, please do it quickly!" ”

Yue Laifu did not accept Yue Yang's kindness: "The young master has tormented the little one, the etiquette cannot be abolished, how can there be a villain to sit down in front of the young master!" Just stand and listen to the young master's orders! ”

"You guys!" Yue Yang shook his head helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you." In this case, I would like to ask, since the weather has been very dry in the past two years, and many fertile fields have been abandoned because of lack of water, why don't we drill wells for water or even irrigate canals? Wouldn't that alleviate the drought? ”

"It turns out that the young master wants to ask this!" Yue Laifu explained: "The method of digging wells for water to alleviate drought has existed since ancient times, but the young master does not know that drilling wells is a time-consuming and labor-intensive job. Like our Sanjin land, although there is underground water, but it is buried deeper, often have to dig hundreds of zhang to get out of the water, even if you are lucky, it has to be about 100 zhang to produce water, so to dig a well at least 30 strong laborers, it takes three to four months, hundreds of taels of silver to complete. And more importantly, we have tens of thousands of livestock, tens of thousands of acres of fields, if all rely on well water irrigation, then at least hundreds of wells are needed, Wuli Village itself is a bitter cold place, where is there such a strong financial resources to complete this difficult thing, so every day of water shortage, this Sanggan River has become the Wulizhai Wang, Li and Lin families want to get the place quickly. ”

"Oh, I see!" Yue Yang nodded, he realized that it was such a difficult thing to dig a well in this era. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and what is worse is that in the current situation of no effective means of exploration, if you are unlucky, even if you work hard to drill a well, it may not be possible to produce water, and sometimes it takes several months of time and huge manpower and material resources to dig a well, so the current scenario of large-scale groundwater pumping is simply unimaginable in ancient times.

At this time, Yue Yang thought of another question: "Steward Yue, I have another question, that is, what kind of crops are mainly planted here in Wulizhai now, and how much can the harvest be?" ”

Hearing this, Yue Laifu glanced at Yue Yang in surprise, the current commander of Yue Yang is holding a book and reading it, where will he have the leisure to understand this, I'm afraid he doesn't even know what kind of grains and grains are. However, the current changes in Yueyang are also what Yue Laifu is willing to see.

After thinking about it, Yue Laifu replied: "Young master, we mainly grow millet, wheat and a small amount of rice and other crops in the state capital, and our place is not as good as these fish and rice towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and the yield per mu is indeed not high, only about three stones and two stones." ”

"Three stones per mu?"

Yue Yang thought about it, came these days, he naturally knew that "stone" was the main unit of measurement in this era, and the "stone" of the Ming Dynasty belonged to "small stone", and a stone was about 97 catties, so the grain output per mu was only 300 catties.

Hearing this, Yue Yang couldn't help but be startled, and blurted out: "Steward Yue, this yield per mu is too low, isn't it, only three hundred catties of grain per mu?" ”

"Hehe......"

Hearing this, Yue Laifu couldn't help but smile bitterly, this young master is really out of the world. Hasn't this been the yield of grain since ancient times? However, Yue Yang was his own master, and he had to explain patiently: "Young master, the harvest that the villain said can only be achieved under the condition of good weather, if there is a year like famine, drought and flood, the yield will be even less, and it is possible to have no harvest if you are strict!" ”

"Hiss......"

Yue Yang gasped and exclaimed, "There is still such a thing? ”

"Of course!" Yue Laifu said with certainty: "Yes, although our Yuejiazhuang nominally owns more than 10,000 acres of fertile land, there are many tenants who rely on us to eat, and the situation is not good every year, so the old lady has reduced the rent from sixty percent to fifty percent, but even so, there are still many tenants who can't eat." ”

"And this thing?"

Yue Yang's brows furrowed deeply, according to the calculation of the algorithm of two crops a year, one mu of land can harvest six hundred catties of grain every year. After paying half of the rent, there are still 300 catties left, according to a family of four to consume at least 1,500 catties of grain a year, they must plant at least ten acres of land, and they have to pray to God to be good so that they will not be hungry, so it seems that the life of the common people is really bitter enough, no wonder these days when he was wandering around Wuli Village, the farmers he saw were almost all yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and the days of the peasants were too hard.

"Is there any way we can help them?" Yue Yang fell into deep thought......

Early the next morning, Yue Yang took the Linglong sisters and Shunbao to the old lady's courtyard to greet the old lady. Seeing Yue Yang, who was healthy and energetic, come over to say goodbye, the old lady seemed very happy, and even her sister Yue Ying wanted to run to Yue Yang's side and pester her brother to be coquettish. Yue Yang also liked this well-behaved and lovely sister, and picked up Yue Ying and turned around several times, making Yue Ying giggle.

Seeing the happy appearance of the Yue Yang brothers and sisters, the old lady was also very pleased, but she still said to Yue Ying: "Okay Ying'er, your brother's body has just healed, don't pester your brother." ”

Yue Yang hurriedly comforted: "It's okay grandma, my grandson has recovered, and my grandson's body is not so fragile. Otherwise, I wouldn't have driven Wang Chenglin's guy away yesterday! ”

"Yes, old lady, the young master was majestic yesterday, leading everyone to kill the Wang family's gang, see if they dare to peep into our dry throat river again this time!" Shunbao on the side, as a scholar, naturally wanted to pat Yue Yang's ass, and added fuel and vinegar to the side to talk about yesterday's situation.

Although she had heard a report on the situation of the fight yesterday, the old lady was still very happy to hear someone praise her grandson, and she said to Yue Yang with relief: "Good grandson, you have to remember that the people of our Yue family will not take the initiative to bully others, but they can't let others ride on our heads." You have to remember that the Sanggan River is the lifeblood of our Wuli Village, if anyone dares to touch it, we will resolutely fight back, do you understand? ”

Speaking of which, the old lady's originally kind face also showed a trace of evil, and Yue Yang was also taken aback, it seems that this old lady is not a good stubble, don't look at her in the past, she always looks kind, if you really want to touch her bottom line, she will also be powerful!

Yue Yang thought about it, looked around again, hesitated for a moment, and then said to the old lady: "Grandma, my grandson has something to say to you alone, you ...... it."

The old lady smiled slightly: "Oh, it seems that the old good grandson has grown up, and there are still things to tell grandma alone." Okay, let's all go out, and the old man wants to say a few words to his good grandson! ”

Hearing the old lady's words, Shunbao, the Linglong sisters and several maids withdrew from the house one after another. Yue Ying originally pouted and refused to go out, but in the end, Yuling hugged her and forcibly hugged him out, and finally closed the door.

After seeing that everyone was gone, the old lady smiled and said, "Grandson, now do you have anything to say to grandma?" ”

Yue Yang looked around, and then whispered to the old lady: "Grandma, my grandson has felt that the situation has not been good in the past two years, and Yuejiazhuang is not as good as the Wang family, the Li family and the Lin family, all of which are supported by other industries, and they all rely on renting to feed thousands of people in the village. ”

The old lady sighed and said, "Grandma doesn't know it, but if God doesn't give us any favor, what can we do, but grandson, you don't have to worry, as long as grandma's old bones are still in this world for a day, grandma will be optimistic about this family business for you, and it will never be taken away!" ”

Seeing the old man who was already pale saying this, Yue Yang's heart couldn't help but feel sour, at this time he felt a strong family affection firmly wrapping him, he didn't know how long he hadn't felt this feeling.

Yue Yang sniffed and said to the old lady, "Grandma, that's the case, my grandson wants to ask you for some gold and buy something." ”

"Oh, gold?" When the old lady heard this, her originally cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, and she suddenly shot out a stream of essence, she looked at Yue Yang with a solemn expression and said, "Good grandson, you want gold, can you tell Grandma Sù the reason?" ”

Yue Yang knew that it would be up to him to convince this old lady who seemed to be old but was actually shrewd, so he took a deep breath and began to speak......
