Suzhou Mansion, Zhilu County, Donglai Township.

I haven't returned to my hometown for more than a year, and the changes in my hometown can be described as a time passing.

The small villages that used to be sparse and messy are now being replaced by patches of cultivated farmland.

Lu Sheng took Lu Sheng and Gai Ying back, and when he looked at the scene in front of him, he thought he had gone to the wrong place. If it weren't for the fact that the Dongshan Mountain on the opposite side was still there, if it weren't for the river flowing in front of him and the taste of before, Lu Sheng really thought that he had taken the wrong path.

"This is the home of an adult? It is worthy of being a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, even if the farmland is cultivated, it is so neat and tidy...... Gai Ying sighed sincerely, the warmth and regularity of the south of the Yangtze River is really not comparable to that of Jiangbei.

"However, I remember that this was not the case in Donglai Township before. Lu Jian scratched his head curiously, "I remember that the adult's house is a broken thatched hut, and the north side is a rocky land. There are seventy or eighty households in the entire Donglai Township, scattered in these fields.

The fields around each house belong to his family, but now at a glance, it seems that there is no one in the farmland...... Because this has become your fiefdom, the people of Donglai Township have been driven away, right?"

"They dare!" Lu Sheng shouted in a deep voice, but he didn't think it was impossible. In order to curry favor with Shangguan, the local officials can do anything.

After walking for a while, all the fields that had been cultivated were all fields. It's the end of June, and the first batch of rice has already been harvested. Now the reclamation is the second batch. When planted in July, the second batch of rice can grow in autumn and October.

Finally, I walked into a farmland that was being cultivated, and dozens of big cattle were digging ditches in the rice fields, looking at this scene as if I had seen a large number of farms in the previous life.

Lu Sheng stepped forward with a happy face, these are all villagers from the countryside in the east.

"Second Master, Second Master Li?"

An old man who was skillfully controlling the Quyuan plough stopped the ox and turned back, and the villagers who heard the call around also stopped their movements and looked back.

On the edge of the farmland, the demeanor of a young man is still the same, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and he can vaguely see the appearance of his youth.

"It seems to be Brother Sheng?" said a sturdy young man of the same age as Lu Sheng hesitated, and as soon as he said it, he was slapped back by the old man next to him.

"Brother Sheng, are you calling him, you want to call him!" the old man shouted in a low voice, and hurriedly put down the man in his hand and strode barefoot in the mud.

Dozens of villagers in the field rushed up one by one, came to Lu Sheng, and fell to the ground one by one.

"Meet the master—"

"Meet the master—"

"Alas, all get up, all get up! Second Master Li, Aunt Zhang...... Arise all of you......"

Even if Lu Sheng is accustomed to accepting the people's bows, these are all villagers who have watched him grow up. Being knelt down by them, Lu Sheng was a little at a loss for a while.

In Lu Sheng's heart, they are all elders. The elders suddenly knelt down at you in unison, and no one could accept it.

"Get up, have something to say, is there something wrong? It's okay, I'll make the decision for you. ”

"No...... I wasn't bullied...... We are happy!" Second Master Li stood up, and all the villagers behind him stood up.

"Old man......"

"Don't call me any master, I'm still Brother Sheng, and I will always be. ”

"You can't say that, you're a baron now. Although Second Master Li said this, a wrinkle appeared on his face, "Since last month, you have been knighted.

Our two villages, Donglai Township and Dongyu Township, have been assigned to your fiefdom. Now the two villages are gone, and they have become Donglai Town. It's the old house of the Zhou family in the east of the original.

Our houses were all ripped off by the government, and the government rebuilt the house for us at the old house of the Zhou family. The government said that after becoming your fiefdom, you can't make a mess like before.

Now the place where you live is where you live, and the farmland is the farmland. Your fiefdom has 1,000 acres, and it will be divided equally among each of our households, which is enough to have 10 acres of land. The government has given us cattle again, and there is hope for this day.

Brother Sheng, the summer rent is still collected, and the yamen said that this year's summer rent does not need to be paid to the yamen, and it will be handed over to you directly. We'll send the summer rent over tomorrow. ”

"According to custom, you have just been assigned to my eater, and you will be exempted from the land rent for three years. So, you don't have to pay it for the first three years. ”

"Master Xie—" The voice landed, and he knelt down again. In fact, this is the reason why they are so enthusiastic and so happy. And the three-year reduction that Lu Sheng said is indeed a common practice.

"Second Master Li, where is my family now?

"Yes, yes, in the center of Donglai Town, such a big and magnificent house. It was all built by craftsmen sent by the Yamen, and it took half a month to build it......"

"You're busy, I'll go back first. ”

Lu Sheng said goodbye to the people and strode away to Donglai Town.

"My lord, you don't seem to be happy to see these folks so happy?" Lu Jian looked at Lu Sheng's somewhat abrupt face curiously.

"I thought I would be back in my hometown as happy as before. However, although they are still so happy, I am no longer among them.

I'd love to hear them shout from afar, Brother Sheng, you're back, but what they said to me was, sir!

Maybe I jumped out of this pool, and this pool couldn't hold me anymore. When I tried to go back again, I found that I couldn't even put a finger into the pool. ”

"People go to high places, water flows to low places, and life is like that. Gai Ying said with feeling.

"That's right. As long as they can do well, I'm happy. Speaking of which, I really don't want to see my new house, it's still the old thatched house, the place is quiet and relaxed. ”

While speaking, Lu Sheng had already come to Donglai Town. Sure enough, as Second Master Li said, the densely packed houses were built together neatly. Muddy walls, thatched roofs. This kind of house, if you want, can build several rooms a day.

The adult laborers have gone to the fields, and those who remain at home are the elderly and children who cannot work. Bringing the two villages together, it is also lively.

In the center of Donglai Town, a small mansion. There is a wall outside the house, and more than a dozen small rooms are built around the wall. Opposite the gate is a huge guest hall, and behind the guest hall is a small building in the shape of a hollow shape.

Although it occupies a small area, it also has all kinds of organs.

Dayu has requirements for what title to live in and what size of the house, and what kind of layout. Of course, this requirement is not limited to death, you can live as much as you want if you have money. But the house sent by the imperial court is this standard.

Because the house has just been built, it still exudes an earthy smell. Including the furniture inside, it also exudes the original smell of wood.

However, in this era, there is no industrial paint, and there is no formaldehyde or anything, but it can directly live in people.

This is the same as the government in the previous life, how big an official you are, what kind of house you have. Adjust where you go, just move in with your bag, everything, the state will take care of it for you.

"Find your own room. After Lu Sheng turned around, the novelty was gone.

"My lord, it's too lonely, or I'll go to Yaxing tomorrow to ......" As soon as these words came out, Lu Jian shut up. He knew how disgusted Lu Sheng was with his teeth. But in this era, we have long been accustomed to the existence of this kind of industry.

"What are you going to do? I don't live here permanently. If it weren't for the fact that I was on leave, I would have preferred to stay in the Criminal Division. ”

The three men are not the masters of grains, so they are also very skilled in cooking rice, boiling water, and making fires. Before it got dark, the five dishes had already been served to the table by the three of them.

"We came here secretly, and we didn't inform Spider and Sun You this time, my lord, guess how long it will take for them to know that we are coming?" Lu Jian asked curiously.

"I guess they're already here. And I also brought wine. Lu Sheng chuckled and took off his apron.

"It's the adults who said that when they smell the wine, right?" Outside the door, a crisp coquettish sound sounded, and two figures fell from the void of the night.

The spider and Sun You fell side by side, and without stepping into the cafeteria, they both knelt on one knee at the door, "Subordinate spiders, Sun You, see your lord!"

Lu Sheng had seen the two of them before going to Jiangbei Dao, and this time goodbye, the spider was still like that, but Sun You's eyes behind him were flashing, his temples were protruding, and his body was full of blood. has already broken through the peak of the day after tomorrow, and it is not long before the breakthrough.

It can be seen that Sun You was stimulated by Lu Sheng's words last time, and he has also worked hard in the past three months.

Sun You and the spider practice the same exercises, and the qualifications are the same, that is, Sun You has a lazy personality and is a little bit of a small citizen. It's a shame to be dropped so many by spiders. was also criticized by Lu Sheng in person, so he couldn't help but forge ahead.

It is said that people are forced out, which is really true. If you don't force it, I really don't know that people's potential can be so great. Sun You was at the peak of the sevenfold heaven three months ago, and he was the ninth day after tomorrow in only three months.

Lu Sheng's eyes swept over Sun You, looking at Lu Sheng's ill-intentioned eyes, Sun You's heart suddenly trembled.

Originally, I thought that seeing Lu Sheng this time would impress adults once. But this look ...... It's impressive. But the consequences don't seem to be as good as I thought?

"Come on, it's not that I smell the wine and know you're coming, but I know that both of you will get stuck in the meal!"

"Hahaha...... Do you mean that Spider and Sun You are both rice buckets?" Lu Jian joked happily when he saw his old comrade-in-arms again, "Gai Ying, why are you still stunned, toast Sister Spider and Brother Sun You!"

As he spoke, Lu Jian introduced to the two, "This is a new recruit from the adults in Jiangbei Province, Gai Ying." Don't look at people's young age, I sigh to myself for one-handed swordsmanship. At a young age, he is already in the innate realm. If it weren't too low-key, he would have a place on the list of young masters. ”

It was night, and the summer insects in the rice field in the distance were squeaking non-stop, and Lu Sheng took the spider and Sun You to walk slowly along the path of the rice field.

"My lord, I heard that this Jiangbei Dao and his party are very dangerous, yesterday's battle, even Suzhou Mansion felt a landslide and crack...... "The spider asked with some concern.

"Don't you think I'm standing like this? How are the subordinates cultivated by the Suzhou Mansion?

When the words landed, the two of them were shocked.

"My lord, don't you ......?"
