I haven't seen it for half a month, and Baishui County is still so peaceful and peaceful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe men carried the goods with their chests and backs bare, the women held the soles of their shoes and shouted to the children not to run around, and the old people smiled and enjoyed the shade under the big banyan tree.

Lin Sen likes this kind of atmosphere, even if there is no prosperity of Heyang City here, and there is no wealth of Heyang City, it also makes him feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

"Ah, isn't this Master Lin?"

"Master Lin, have you come back from Heyang City?"

As soon as Lin Sen appeared, someone took the initiative to ask, he responded with a smile, and when he saw that the old man under the tree also looked over, he quickened his pace and bent down to ask: "Old man, how are you doing lately?"

This old man is the one who often tells stories to children under the banyan tree, Lin Sen just crossed over after listening to him talk about the ancient times before confirming where he was going, seeing Lin Sen come up and take the initiative to salute, he immediately got up with the cane beside him, and grinned: "Master Tollin, the old man still has the strength to drink two bowls of porridge in a row this morning!"

"That's good, good health is the best blessing. Lin Sen hugged the old man and said with a smile: "I still want to hear you talk about the ancient times!"

The old man nodded again and again, and his smiling eyebrows couldn't open: "Okay, next time Master Lin is free, I'll tell you!"

The old man still remembered Lin Sen's dilapidated appearance at the beginning, but he didn't have the slightest intention of delving into it, and when others mentioned this matter, he would interject disapprovingly, Master Lin is a martial master, a martial master who is more powerful than the old man Fu of Fuhumen, the old man's age, even if he hasn't traveled south and north, he has seen a lot, what kind of things have not been heard? So if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!

After chatting like this for a while, helping the old man to sit down again, the master and apprentice turned to leave, and Wei Li suddenly sighed: "Master, the people of Fuhumen have never been like you. ”

Lin Sen smiled: That's because they're stupid!

What's wrong with the martial artist? Being called by the martial master, the martial master, so he doesn't even know who he is? So he can't even understand the facts in front of him?

Thinking from a practical point of view, Baishui County is the base area of the Tongtian Sect! If the base areas are not well managed, what kind of crisis is there, and how can we expect people to help? Falling into the vast sea of the people is not something that can be done by talking!

From the perspective of the game, brushing reputation is an essential behavior, others may just have a better reputation, but Lin Sen, who has a system, is not sure, maybe one day a message will suddenly pop up, saying that his reputation level has been raised to a certain level, and he will deliberately give out a big gift package!

All in all, the appearance that Lin Sen set for Tongtian Sect was that he was close to the people! It was absolutely impossible to have a reputation that made the heavens angry and resentful like the original Fuhumen!

The master and apprentice talked as they walked, and soon came to the field in the west of Baishui County as stated on the title deed, Lin Sen raised his eyes and was stunned.

Well, the situation in front of me is not quite the same as I imagined.

The first is that the area is not the same.

Lin Sen is a citizen who grew up in the city, and his ancestors may have been farming farmers for generations, but he has never done this job, and naturally he does not know the knowledge about the fields. For example, he only knows that the word mu is an area unit, and as for how big an acre is, he has no actual impression at all, let alone 300 mu.

According to the modern Chinese unit, it is 666 square meters, and in ancient times, it was about 500 square meters, so the area of 300 acres is between 150,000 and 200,000 square meters, which is equivalent to less than 30 standard football fields!

The size of this area is completely beyond Lin Sen's expectations!

The second is that the scene is different.

In his mind, since it is a field, there must be a large area of crops, such as corn and wheat, especially now that it is autumn, there should be many farmers working in the field, but this is not the case at all.

I saw an open and desolate land, full of weeds! The only piece of farmland near Baishui County was only a few hundred square meters, and only an old farmer in a short coat was tending in it.

Lin Sen was dumbfounded: "What is the situation?"

Wei Li was also confused, although he was the child of a peasant family, but because there was no strong labor in the family, Wei's mother had to raise him alone, and his own land had already been sold, and he made a living purely from miscellaneous work such as making shoes, sewing, and spinning, and he didn't care about things in the field.

But he finally knew someone, so he immediately ran forward and shouted, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu!"

The forty or fifty-year-old farmer looked back, hurriedly ran up from the field, and shouted from afar: "Master Lin, nephew of the Wei family, why did you come here?"

"Uncle Liu, you don't know, this is our field, of course it's coming!"

Wei Li stepped forward to explain the matter, and then asked in confusion: "Uncle Liu, what's going on with this field, why is it all deserted?"

Uncle Liu was taken aback when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "Master Lin, nephew of the Wei family, are you letting people deceive you? This land is originally barren!"

Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, what kind of situation is this, the dignified prefect of Heyang, can he still lie to himself? There is no reason for this?

"Anyway, since the ancestors, no one has been playing with this world. Liu Bodao: "This whole piece of land has never been cultivated, and the grain yield planted is not good, so even if it is a tenant, I don't want to work this land. ”

At this moment, Lin Sen was finally anxious, this land was the source of income for the daily operation of Tongtian Sect in the future, how could it be like this?

"Master Lin, don't worry, I don't know about these things, if you want to find out, most of you have to go to the county government to inquire - the rent of this land is collected by the county government, and the county lord must know what is going on. ”

The matter was urgent, Lin Sen was not in a hurry when he heard it, he immediately turned around and walked back, and went straight to the county office. The county officials naturally didn't dare to stop it, and immediately reported the county order, so in just a moment, the chubby Li Yuan appeared in front of Lin Sen.

"Oh, this is really a rare guest, Sect Master Lin actually came to visit in person, this county is full of splendor!" Li Yuan smiled like a basin with a round face, and his expression was extremely earnest: "Come on, come on, Sect Master Lin sit down, you and I have to have a good talk." ”

Lin Sen frowned suddenly, compared to the last time we met, this county lord's attitude was a lot lower, you must know that at that time, he was still holding a shelf with his own official, this time it was simply commensurate with you and me, does this guy know that he has a good relationship with his top boss Sun Ting?

However, he was worried about the three hundred acres of land now, and he didn't have time to explore what was going on, so he just gave a gift and simply said, "Li Xianzun, I came here for this land deed." ”

Li Yuan looked stunned, as if he didn't expect Lin Sen to not even maintain his face, and his eyes suddenly flashed. However, when he looked down at the title deed handed over by Lin Sen, he suddenly looked up in surprise: "How did the prefect's title deed come to you?"

"I have something to do with the prefect, he gave it to me. ”

This answer made Li Yuan look stunned again, but this time he immediately put on that smiling face again, and asked earnestly: "So that's the case, why didn't Sect Master Lin tell me last time?"

"It's all trivial. Lin Sen was a little impatient: "Li Xianzun, I just want to ask clearly, how is the three hundred acres of land on this land deed a wasteland?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "It turns out that Sect Master Lin is here for this matter, well, this is said to be a disgraceful thing, but since it was Sect Master Lin who asked, forget it, I'll tell you about it." ”

Lin Sen raised his eyebrows: What else is going on here?

So in Li Yuan's narration, the matter of the 300 acres of abandoned fields was clarified.

It turned out that after the establishment of the Dayong Dynasty, Baishui County once canceled the name of the county because of its sparse population, and purely regarded this place as the smallest peasant settlement, without setting up a special county office, and directly managed by Heyang Prefecture.

Of course, the people of Baishui County at that time did not agree to this matter, and it was true that there was no official lord to control it without the county government, but once there was something, such as the attack of a demon beast or something, the government would not pay much attention to it! Even if the days went on, the people of Baishui County might be identified as wild people, and let the government arrest them and go to endless labor!

But it is also a fact that Baishui County is underpopulated, and it is not enough to set up a special county office, and the imperial court is doing well, what should I do?

At that time, someone came up with an idea: We can increase the area of the fields! Although there are few people, there is more land, and more grain can be produced! Even for the sake of these fields, the imperial court must be careful!

He is right, food is the foundation of everything, even warriors have to eat, of course, the imperial court must pay attention to all fields that can produce food, so the county government of Baishui County finally kept it. In order to meet this idea, the ancestors of Baishui County at that time really spent a lot of effort to reclaim a large area of land for planting, which was enough to maintain grain production for several years.

However, this is just a matter of equity, the population of Baishui County is too small, and the output of farming is not much, so after a few years, everyone has not worked it, and a large area of land has been abandoned.

At this time, Baishui County had been set up for several years, the system of the Dayong Dynasty had been decided, and no one had mentioned the abolition of the county government.

Naturally, these fields, which were beyond the size of the population of Whitewater County, were abandoned and left to be managed.

"So this is the origin of these three hundred acres of wasteland?" Lin Sen looked at the title deed in his hand, and was very depressed: "How could Sun Ting give me such a thing?"

When Li Yuan heard this, his eyelids jumped, his eyes rolled, and he immediately opened his mouth and said: "The prefect didn't do it on purpose, he probably didn't know about this situation. ”

Although the fields have been abandoned, these 300 mu of land still exist in the official records, but looking at this land that has only records but no output, how can the successive county commanders be happy? If the imperial court checks it out and finds that there are large areas of land in Baishui County but there is no grain, this is a dereliction of duty on the part of the county commander!

Of course, the prefect was happy to see this happen, and he had an asset before he opened his mouth, so who wouldn't be happy? Immediately turn a blind eye to this kind of illegal thing and let it happen. It was only when he left office and sorted out his belongings that he found that the land had no value...... Of course, there is no value in taking it away! But if you want to exchange it for money, no one will buy it!

This prefect is also a wonderful person, so he simply left it as a legacy for the next prefect. And when the new prefect understands what is going on, he will naturally have a headache about its existence, so he will simply draw a scoop according to the gourd and do the same.

So after coming and going, the fields in Baishui County came to Sun Ting's hands. And this prefect has not yet reached the time to leave office to count his property, or he doesn't care about such small assets, so he doesn't know the specific situation, but when he was looking for a thank you gift for Lin Sen, he rummaged through the cabinets and found such a thing, and he felt that it was very suitable for the current needs of Tongtian Sect, so he sent it over.

So now it's Lin Sen's turn to be embarrassed: "Then what should I do with these three hundred acres of land?"

The field is what the Tongtian Sect needs, but the abandoned field is not.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Sect Master Lin, I have a way here to let the county residents reclaim this field as this year's labor. ”

Civilians are required to serve labor every year, and in the past, people in Whitewater County used to do some work to build wells, which was regarded as contributing to public facilities.

Lin Sen immediately raised his eyebrows: "Is this okay?"

This can be regarded as a public weapon for private use, right? What does Li Yuan mean by doing this kind of thing so unabashedly?

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Of course." There is only one thing that needs to be explained, even if this field is reclaimed, it will need Sect Master Lin to find someone to cultivate it in the future. There are really not many people in Baishui County now, and most of them will not be willing to be a tenant for you. ”

When he said this, his sincerity can be imagined, which immediately made Lin Sen even more suspicious: Is the relationship between the two of us so good? Are you willing to do this for me?

Perhaps his expression was too obvious, which immediately provoked Li Yuan's expression to be a little wrong, and he said quite embarrassedly: "Sect Master Lin doesn't have to worry too much, I just want to ask Sect Master Lin to say a few kind words for me in front of the prefect if possible." ”

Understood, do you please your boss, if there is a problem with the boss's arrangement, your subordinates will check and fill in the gaps, this is a disguised way of patting horses.

This has nothing to do with Lin Sen, even if it is an admittance, it is also Sun Ting's love for Li Yuan, and it is not bad that Lin Sen, who was cheated, did not ask Sun Ting to settle accounts. So he immediately nodded: "Okay, I'll remember this." ”

Anyway, don't care how you find someone to cultivate in the future, let's wake up these three hundred acres of land from the wasteland first!
