I don't know how many people will compete with him, at least there is an eldest son.

He still doesn't know how many brothers and sisters there are, and he thinks it's ridiculous.

But he just shook his head, he clearly knew that only if he had prepared in advance could he stay awake enough, and felt that this plot was too cliché, but other people who had tokens were not necessarily, at least people whose spirits were not as good as him would definitely be lost here for a long time, and it was impossible to wake up so quickly.

"Didn't go anywhere. Just wandered around. Where's my carriage?"

Ye Chen asked indifferently.

"Heda, how many times have I told you? Look at you, how long has Childe been gone? ”

The skinny guy teaches the tall guy a lesson.

"Calm down a hammer, Childe is our everything. You're gone, not bullshit. Don't use your set to teach me a lesson. ”

The two competed for favor on a daily basis again, and Ye Chen instantly understood.

The nurse is a poor-born, illiterate big-footed daughter-in-law, except for a good face, broad shoulders, and plenty of milk, in the eyes of him, a rich man, he is really useless, so he gave his partner, who grew up together, a great name.

He disliked the awkward name and called it, so he made the decision and changed it to He Da directly.

For this, the nurse and the two of them also asked He Da to kowtow to him several times to express their gratitude.

In their opinion, no matter whether he is a concubine who can inherit the family business or not, it is much better than their bitterness, and it is their family's expectation that he can let He Da stay by his side all the time, and it is worth all they have to pay for.

Of course, he was very good to this family, He Da became his constant dog, and the two nurses became the actual managers and working leaders of his first farm.

What broke all this was the addition of this skinny boy, who claimed to be an orphan, but in fact he had long been a small leader of the beggar gang in the county.

After this kid was reused by Ye Chen's Yin boy, he would recruit some people from the beggar gang from time to time, of course, these people were all looking at him.

If there are a lot of people and they belong to two small groups, it will definitely cause some friction.

It's just that his predecessor handled it too badly, and he was already learning his old man's tricks of balance.

That's why these two people who are loyal to him are like fire and water, and they will fight when they meet, and most of the time they are just arguing.

"You two come over here. ”

Ye Chen was obviously very dissatisfied with these two dogs, how could this kind of guy in the nest have strong external combat effectiveness, when the time comes, don't hinder each other, it will already make people burn high incense, he must reverse all this.

"Yes, Childe. ”

The two of them almost answered in unison, which still made Ye Chen quite satisfied, which showed that no matter how they fought, they were still centered on him, the master, and this could ensure that the two of them had not grown crooked, and they could still be used.

The tall man stood with his head down, he had full respect for Ye Chen, a small young man who was not tall, his thin waist was straight, and he was learning what he could learn from the bosses of those masters.

"My ancestors told me in a dream that when I come in this direction today, I will definitely meet the noble people of my life. At first, I didn't understand what a noble person was. But I saw over there about three night wolves fighting night tigers. The three night wolves alone must not be able to fight the night tiger, but the three of them joined forces to slowly gain the upper hand, and later expelled the injured night tiger. This made me suddenly realize the meaning of my ancestors' dreams. Aren't we just three of us? I have decided, I will marry you today as brothers of the opposite sex, and in the future, we will live and die together, share wealth and wealth, and face the enemy together. Would you like to?"

Of course, he made up this reason.

The skinny guy immediately had a light in his eyes.

"I'm a hundred willing to check the Xing family. ”

The tall one also raised his head, and a pair of eyes bigger than a bull's eye had long been raised, and he looked at his little master in disbelief.

His mother taught him that this is the noble man of his family, the little master of the family, and the old master is the old master.

When he was still a child, he asked more than once, whether he wanted to be loyal to the little master or the old master, his mother couldn't answer why, but when he grew up, there was only this little master in his eyes, and there was no longer the position of the old master, in order not to make himself look embarrassed and difficult, he often avoided the old master, and rarely met him.

"Childe, I'm willing too. ”

Neither of them engaged in those vain prevarications, and in fact, it was not their turn to shirk, what kind of status are they? The master wants to bow to them as eight friends, which is what they can't even look forward to when the smoke from their ancestral tomb comes, how can they say half a word.

"Happy! Set up an incense case quickly, and let the vast and boundless black mountain and black water in front of us witness our brotherhood. The earth is not old, the sky is not barren, and our brotherhood will not change. ”

He only needs to verbally command here, and the other two people naturally have two people to complete it, and this time there are few people who are not fighting for me, and there is no bickering.

Ye Chen's purpose is very simple, that is, to completely twist his existing team into a rope, and not to disperse, so that the ability can be used in one place, so that the internal consumption can be minimized.

After worshipping heaven and earth, Ye Chen's Yin little boy naturally became the eldest brother of the three.

In fact, He Da was born two months earlier than him, but he deliberately falsely reported his age, and because the time between the two was too short, and there was no room for the thin Cha Xing family to operate, he could only honestly report the date of birth and be the third brother.

"Second brother, third brother, you must call me big brother when there are no outsiders in the future. ”

Ye Chen wrapped his arms around the shoulders of the two and said, during which he also put the hands of the two together, so that the three of them formed a circle.

Although the two began to have some differences, they were soon infected by his emotions, and the estrangement was instantly eliminated.

"Big brother, third brother. ”

"Big brother, second brother. ”

"Hmm. Good!"

"In the future, no matter how fierce the opponent is, it will definitely be defeated by our three brothers working together!"

The carriage was very rudimentary, and it was pulled by an old horse, which was disliked by the cultivators, and was only used for waste.

There was no lining in the carriage, only two wooden benches as wide as the carriage were placed as seats, and Ye Chen was now seated on one of them.

He Da and Cha Xingjia did not get into the car, one of them protected one side of the carriage, and He Da held the whip to drive the car.

They were going to his only property, the farm, which was also his foothold, and he rarely went to the old mansion in normal times, which was his duty as an adult concubine.

It was as desolate as it could be along the way, until he reached the outskirts of the farm where he could see some tall trees and some slightly green plants, which he knew were the main crops of his farm.

This thing is somewhat similar to the barley on earth, also known as oats, which is used as feed for livestock, but it is cultivated as a staple food here, and the yield is actually lower than there.

Fortunately, this thing is not only drought-resistant, but also resistant to salinity, as long as it can grow seedlings, there will be some harvest.

Here, he can only adopt the strategy of planting widely and harvesting little, so his predecessor did not stop the beggars of Cha Xing's family in the county town from pulling people over, as long as they give him a bite to eat, they can work hard for him, and they can always create some surplus labor value for him.

If you want to succeed in winning the throne, the strategy of using extensive grain to slow down the king is obviously not feasible, but his current strength is not strong, and if he wants to win, he can only take the unconventional road.

It was an adobe house, the largest and tallest building in the central residential area of the farm, and it had to be the place where his master lived.

In addition to the three or five black and thin maids, the two people who often come and go are the two people who worship with him and the nurse couple.

"Nurse, how much surplus grain is there in the village this year?"

As soon as he returned, he summoned the charming nurse, a tall and big healthy woman, who had maintained a little of her youthful appearance after many years of support, and looked much more eye-catching than a few black and thin girls.

"Back to Gongzi, there are still sixty percent of surplus grain in the granary, and there is no problem in staying up until this year's autumn harvest. ”

The nurse obviously did not know that he was asking for specific figures, thinking that he was worried about another famine this year.

"How many catties is sixty percent?"

Ye Chenyi frowned and asked, he was really a little upset, his predecessor was really a little mediocre, he didn't have the most basic data, and it was completely handed over to a few people he trusted to take care of.

"Six thousand pounds up and down. ”

The healthy woman replied truthfully.

"There are exactly a hundred people in our village now, right?"

Ye Chen frowned and asked again, this bit of grain is really too little, it is very different from the society he has experienced, and it is only sixty catties of grain per person when it is evenly shared, and there are still three months before the autumn harvest is reached.

That is to say, each person only has 20 catties of grain to eat every month, and the average is less than 8 taels of grain per day.

People here eat twice a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, and don't eat at noon, and generally work in the fields.

With this bit of food, he wanted to pull more people from the beggars in the county, but he couldn't do it.

He kind of understood what the nurse said about staying up until the autumn harvest was no problem.

He couldn't understand why she answered sixty percent of the grain, not six thousand catties of grain.

Isn't there twelve months in a year, or is it the other nine months where only the remaining forty percent of the food is provided?

He thought it was incredible.

"Yes, exactly a hundred. Sixty of them were tenants assigned to you by the lord, and the other forty were vagrant beggars whom you had recruited from the city. ”

Although the nurse has not started reading, she is still familiar with these simple calculations, otherwise she would not be able to be the steward.

"All the seeds and grain for next year are left, right?"

The little boy that Ye Chen turned into must ask everything clearly.

"I left it in advance, a total of 1,000 catties of full grain was personally selected by me, dried separately, stored in a separate warehouse, and guarded by a special person. You don't have to worry about that, Childe. ”

The nurse replied in detail, she felt a little nervous today, and felt that the son who was raised by her milk was a little different today.

1,000 catties of grain can only be exchanged for 10,000 catties of grain, which is really low enough.

"You are going to open the seed granary and assign people to open up the wasteland, and I am going to open up the open land on the lower ground to the north and plant a season of grain. ”

Ye Chen made a decisive decision, if you want to succeed in the competition, you can't have enough people, and if you want to feed more people, you must have enough food.

Food is not produced in a vacuum, it has to be sown honestly.

It's okay if you don't sow seeds, then you can only grab this road, everyone is poor and white, and there is no currency.

He believed that he, a guy with a little bit of the blood of the cultivated technology people, would not be worse than anyone else.

"Childe, no. It has long passed the season of planting mangs, and the wheat seedlings in the field have already been a bunch of height, and now sowing seeds is a waste of grain. ”

The nurse strongly objected, and she finally found where the nervousness of facing the son today came from.

"Just do what I tell you to do, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”

Ye Chen didn't want to argue with him about anything, he didn't want to try to convince her with theories beyond her understanding, he just had to show enough determination, he believed that she would not disobey him.

"Alas!"

The healthy woman was stupid and couldn't say anything more persuasive, so she sighed and prepared to leave.

"The nurse called your man to see me by the way. ”

Before she could turn the corner of the door of the adobe house, he commanded, but the woman did not answer, but he knew she would do so.

She really couldn't figure out why Gongzi arranged such an unreasonable thing when he went out, and she was afraid that she would waste this thousand catties of grain prepared in advance.

This is the rule set by their old master, and they must prepare the next year's grain one year in advance to prepare for the year of famine.

However, Ye Chen thinks that this method is not very desirable, this is actually using old grain as growing grain, in the words of the earth, the activity is not the highest, I am afraid it will affect the yield.

However, he can't take care of that, he has only been here for a year, and he doesn't know what this place will evolve into in the future.

Soon, a sturdy middle-aged man rushed in.

"Childe, I heard from my Hun family that you plan to open up the wasteland and plant some grain. ”

"Yes. I was asking you to accompany He Da and Cha Xingjia to organize people to level out the ground as soon as possible. ”

Ye Chen replied in the affirmative, and assigned the work by the way.

"Childe can't help it. It's long past the season of nectar from heaven, and although the wasteland is good, we don't have enough water to irrigate. ”

He is a good worker, especially for farm work, and he will not be like a nurse who doesn't know where to persuade Ye Chen to give up the idea of opening up wasteland.

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. I won't use a drop of water from the reservoir in the Zhuangzi to irrigate that wasteland. ”

Ye Chen knew what this guy was thinking at a glance.
