"Is this the Otherworld? You've built this place pretty well. ”

Zhao Wu came out of the house, curiously and excitedly looking at the mountains, lawns and rapids next to the house.

Next to him, Wang Zhao said to him: "Do you want to go down the mountain first to see our territory and feel the situation, or do you want to cultivate first and feel the aura of the other world?" ”

Zhao Wu moved his hands and feet, and said: "I'd better go down the mountain to have a look first, the ancient villages and towns in your video always give me a feeling of unreality, it's better for me to go and investigate on the spot." If you want to cultivate, wait until I come back in the evening, and prepare a room for me. ”

"No problem, there are several empty rooms here, you can pick and choose, but the conditions are a little simple, you can make do with it first." I'll build a few new houses over there in a few days, and you can have your own house if you want. Come, let me introduce you to our subordinates first, this is Uncle Shi. ”

Old man Shi also saw Wang Xianshi accompany an immortal master he didn't know or had never seen coming out of the gate of the main house, and when he saw them come to him, he hurriedly saluted, he knew that Wang Zhao didn't like to bow down, so he just made a gesture.

Wang Zhao said to him: "Uncle Shi, this is my junior brother Zhao Wu, who has been in retreat and cultivation for several years, and he has just made great progress in his skills and broke through the barrier, you can get to know him." ”

"I've seen Immortal Master Zhao." Old man Shi saluted Zhao Wu again, and said in his heart that this immortal master must also be a person with amazing powers and extraordinary skills.

Zhao Wu was not good at socializing, so he directly took out a multi-functional saber and handed it to Old Man Shi: "This is a meeting gift." ”

Lao Shi immediately had a good impression of Zhao Wu, and he was worthy of being the junior brother of Wang Xianshi, just like Wang Xianshi, he was generous, and he couldn't stop thanking him, saying how embarrassing it was in his mouth, and at the same time he accepted the things in his hand.

Wang Zhao said that he planned to let the old man Shi's family move to the bottom of the mountain, and the old stone heard that he was going to live in this whole big house for his family, although he wanted to live down the mountain, he was still excited, and he was thinking vigorously in his heart, the ancestors of our old Shi family have appeared, bless our family to meet nobles, it seems that I must hold Wang Xianshi and their thighs in the future, as long as I follow them, then I will not worry about living a good life.

When the king saw that the old stone had agreed, he told him to clean up in the past two days, and when he was free, he would use his supernatural powers to move the whole house to the mouth of the tunnel at the foot of the mountain.

Then Wang Zhao took Zhao Wu down the mountain, passed through the winding and quiet mountain path, went down to the foot of the mountain, went out of the mountain beam tunnel, and went on the main road. Zhao Wu was very interested in this circle of mountain beams that surrounded the entire mountain, and repeatedly said that this was a ghostly and natural gateway. When he got out of the tunnel, Zhao Wu saw the gundam steel statue at the door, especially the ten big characters on it, and couldn't help but express his contempt for Wang Zhao's shameless plagiarism.

Wang Zhao naturally ignored Zhao Wu's contemptuous language, took him up to the avenue, took out two mountain bikes casually, and the two of them rode on, all the way forward, and went straight to Taiping Town.

When he arrived in the town, Wang Zhao took Zhao Wu to his shop, and Zhao Wu proposed that he should go out alone, and Wang Zhao told him not to leave the town too far, so he went with him.

It wasn't until noon that Zhao Wu rode his bicycle back to Wang Zhao's shop, and as soon as he entered the house, he said to Wang Zhao: "This place is so good, I didn't expect it to be so poor here, it's really a good place to recruit soldiers, especially there are vast countryside around here, it's really promising." ”

"Is it okay to be poor?"

"You will only be a soldier when you are poor. The poorer the people, the more they can endure hardship, and only those who can endure hardships can become good soldiers. However, it is not good for your development and construction that it is so poor here, and you also say that it will take half a year to improve the quality of life of the people, which is difficult for me. In half a year, even the problem of eating these people may not be solved. ”

"I've thought about this, nearly sixty percent of the land in the whole town is Luofu, and most of it is still barren, it's just the end of September, the weather is still relatively warm this month, I will now mobilize the townspeople to prepare to plant winter wheat, spinach and coriander, these crops are sown in this season, and there will be a harvest in the spring of next year. Next time, let's bring two or three seeders, take turns to teach, and teach a few apprentices first, hoping to have more before the end of the month. As for this winter, first use the grain stocks of Luofu, although some were robbed by the rioters a few days ago, but the granaries of Luofu are stored enough for the whole town to eat for two years, for the time being, our food is not worried, it is a big deal that I go back to modern times to buy some meat and vegetables, this winter is no problem. ”

"Okay, as long as we have food in our hands, then we are in control of the situation. But it's also strange to say, why would that Lawson prefer to leave the land deserted rather than let the poor people plant? ”

"I know something about this, I heard that it is because the rent collected by Luofu is too heavy, reaching eighty percent, many tenants can't eat even if they work hard for a year, and in the end they have to owe a lot of debts, and finally many tenants flee or simply wait for death, so most of the land in Luofu is idle."

"This Lawson is too brainless, if he doesn't let his tenants live, won't he have no income?"

Wang Zhao shook his head: "Who knows what he thinks." ”

Actually, Luo Fu was not like this before, and when Luo Sen's grandfather was still alive, Luo Fu was still good for his tenants. At that time, the annual rent was fifty percent of five, and many peasants cultivated for a year, and finally they could still leave a little food to chew and wrap up, and at the end of each year, those who could not survive could also go to Luofu to borrow debts, and Luofu would also give them some food for the winter. Later, in the time of Rosen's father, he was much harsher on the tenant farmers, and Rosen's father once said to Rosen that if you want others to be grateful to you, the best way is not to be tolerant, and take away everything from the other party first, and when the other party has nothing, then give the other party a little leftovers, and the other party will be grateful to you.

That's what Rosen's father said, and that's what he did. He first raised the annual rent to 70 percent, and then lowered it to 60 percent after two or three years, when all the tenant farmers in the town were going to starve to death.

Rosen always remembered how grateful the scrawny untouchables were, when they heard that the rent had dropped to sixty percent, and that he felt that his father was the wisest man in the world. It's amazing that you can make the other party praise yourself loudly when you are exploiting each other.

After Rosen's father died, Rosen also planned to continue to use this trick, he first raised the rent to eighty, and then waited a year later to reduce it again to seventy, but to Rosen's surprise, those untouchables didn't know what was going on, they had already lowered the rent, but those untouchables did not show a grateful expression, and some of the dark and thin faces were only numb.

In a fit of rage, Rosen raised the rent to eighty percent, and scolded with hatred in his heart: A group of untouchables who don't know what to do are ungrateful for their kindness and deserve to starve to death.

As a result, most of Rosen's land was abandoned in a few years, but Rosen didn't care, he still had a lot of ways and means to get money, even if he collected less food, it didn't matter.

Wang Zhao didn't know that his previous opponent was a super brain-dead shrouded in a brain-dead aura, and he was still puzzled by Lawson's actions.

Seeing that it was already noon, Wang Zhao beckoned Zhao Wu to prepare for dinner first, and he went out of the shop to start his own plan. He first took out six solar street lamps from the baby gourd, that is, the kind of street lamp with a solar absorbing panel on it, which can absorb solar energy during the day, and the street lamp can be illuminated at night, and then placed the street lamps on both sides of the avenue and buried them underneath.

After doing this, Wang Zhao found a group of idlers, first gave each of them a steamed bun, and then asked them to go door-to-door to publicize, asking the people of the whole town to go to the main road in the middle of the town at night, and he wanted to invite the villagers and elders of the town to dinner. Wang Zhao repeatedly told those people that they must invite all the people in the town, do this well, and reward each person with two steamed buns.

Those idlers were all without food and clothing, lying down and waiting to die, and now someone gave them food, and they all came to the spirit, and they all went.

When the king saw that they had all conveyed the matter as he wished, he turned and began to prepare for the evening. First of all, he instructed Zhang Tianxing to move a large amount of grain from the granary of Luofu, set up more than a dozen cauldrons, and made steamed buns, Wotou, millet and rice, etc., Zhang Tianxing gathered a lot of people from Luofu before, and there were a lot of people, and took out four pigs from the gourd, as well as a large number of fans, and taught the guys to make pork stewed vermicelli on the spot.

But said that in addition to more than a dozen rich peasants and dozens of craftsmen and traders in Taiping Town, the rest are poor peasants, with the increase in the proportion of land rent in Luofu in recent years, the life of these tenant farmers and poor households is becoming more and more embarrassing, many people are not full of food, but can not afford to eat, two days ago the collapse of Luofu, there are many people who took advantage of the fire to rob, went to Luofu to grab some rice and flour to satisfy their stomachs, and slightly relieved the dilemma of hunger, but unfortunately it did not take long for the riots in Luofu to subside, and the entire Luofu is said to have fallen into the hands of Wang Xianshi, who has shown his might these days.

According to people's private rumors, it is said that Wang Xianshi has been practicing on the mountain for more than 100 years, and has attained the immortal, and has the ability to climb the mountains and seas, especially the five-color thunder method in one hand, which is extremely powerful, and the prestige is overwhelming, which is seen by many people.

Now everyone is looking forward to Wang Xianshi taking over the property of Luofu, he can be a little better to the townspeople, don't charge so much land rent, Rosen's eighty percent rent is really unbearable, if Wang Xianshi can harvest seventy percent or sixty percent five, then everyone can find some grassroots and wild vegetables in the summer, and they can make do with it.

Today, someone suddenly rumored in the town, saying that Wang Xianshi was going to hold a banquet on Luojia Avenue to invite everyone to eat, at first no one believed it, how could there be such a good thing in the world, thousands of people in the town, if they all went to eat, how much would they have to chew. But in the afternoon, before the sun turned west, bursts of rich meat and rice aroma spread all over the town, many people smelled those fragrances, saliva couldn't help but flow, hesitated out of the house, slowly came to the middle of the town on the avenue.

The avenue has been filled with tables and benches, although those tables and benches have all kinds of shapes, at first glance, they are improvised, but this is not important, the important thing is that in front of the Wang family's shop, the big pot full of stewed meat, and a basket of steamed steamed buns, nest heads, dry rice, and flatbread.

The townspeople looked at each other, and they couldn't help but turn a thought in their hearts, could it be that the matter of Wang Immortal Master inviting the people of the town to dinner was true?
