After August 15, the Li family began to be busy with the affairs of Zhuangzi, and according to Li Qiusui's plan, the fertile land still grows grain.

The climate here is the most suitable for planting winter wheat in the next season.

The family left a full wheat for seeds, and this piece was also grown by the original owner's family, so there were ready-made tenant farmers. The Liu family personally met these families, including the stewards in charge of this area, who were honest and honest people, so they were happy to let people stay.

Their family now lives in the city, unlike in Lijia Village, where they can go to work in the fields with their legs, and they are too busy to farm, so they can spend more money and find more short-term jobs. The Zhuangzi here in the capital is too far away, and he can't be busy at all by relying on his own family. Moreover, if he has an official body, the field production capacity under his name will be reduced and exempted, and he will buy it again if he has a suitable good land Zhuangzi in the future. There are too many things, and it's too late to just look at the account books, where is the time to carry the hoe and work?

Leaving the tenant farmers, the crops planted by the former owner's family have been harvested and taken away, so that the land can be turned over and ready to be planted with winter wheat.

Tenant farmers are all veterans of growing crops, and Liu's simple explanation will soon be able to get started.

Li Changshan divided the seeds, watched the tenants cultivate, and gave guidance from time to time.

As for the previous Zhuangtou, the Liu family looked at this weed that was taller than his waist, and he didn't have a good impression of this person before he saw anyone.

It is precisely when employing people that we must always observe and observe.

So, Liu ordered someone to find the head of the village.

It was called Zhuangtou, more than ten hulala, the leader was in his thirties, not tall, his eyebrows and eyes were very flexible, and he revealed a shrewd energy as soon as he opened his mouth, "The little ones say hello to Mrs. ”

Liu Shi nodded, and said to the leader: "You are familiar with this area, find more short-term jobs, and clean up the Zhuangzi as soon as possible." ”

"This is simple, and it is money to wrap us up...... Madam, look at ......" Zhuang Tou responded, and asked Liu Shi to take the silver with his palms facing up, "You are new to the capital, you are not familiar with the rules of the capital, there is money to open the road, open more money, I can find you as many people as you want to work." Otherwise, everyone is busy with farming right now, and it's hard to find someone to work as soon as possible! ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen people behind this person nodded their heads.

The Liu family laughed angrily, the first time he dealt with this kind of ruffian, and before he could do it, he first put the trouble in the place and asked for silver, and it was obvious that he was bullying people!

It's not that she is reluctant to give more money, the key is that the money can reach the people who work?

In this group of people, she is not happy to be taken advantage of.

The Liu family did not bear the burden of being an official's wife, and said bluntly: "Then you can stay where you are cool, I can't afford you." ”

"What do you mean, ma'am? We have been in charge of the Sheng family for more than ten years in front of Zhuangzi, you go and ask, see if there are any people around who dare to come over to make trouble and dare to pick fruits secretly? ”

"Madame, don't worry, Zhuangzi is in our hands, and I promise to let you walk sideways here for ten miles and eight villages."

Go sideways! I'm not a crab, walking sideways when I'm full?

No one dares to steal the fruit, but look at it, there are thousands of acres of land, so many fruit trees, how many fruits have been produced?

The Liu family is too lazy to talk to these people, their own Zhuangzi is here, and they are afraid that they will make trouble from time to time in the future, so they have to send people away as soon as possible, "Then you should go and manage the Zhuangzi for the Sheng family, our family will not be needed for the time being." ”

"Madam, what kind of reputation is this for driving Zhuang Tou away on the first day?"

"Those who know say that you will fiddle with the crops when you are shaving in the field, and those who don't know are still stingy at your family, and you can't afford to hire the head of the farm."

Some people sing white faces, and some people sing red faces, "Yes, madam, reputation matters, your lord is an official in the imperial court, five thousand taels are spent, one hundred and eighty taels, and when you loosen your hand, you will send me away, why bother with people like us?" ”

sang and harmonized, Liu's head hurt by the noise, she didn't want to break with these people, but the surname Gu led people to block her way intentionally or unintentionally, they didn't dare to act aggressively, but they also tended to be entangled, which was annoying enough.

Li Qiusui saw this group of people surrounding her mother from a distance, she hurriedly walked over, and she listened to all the words, the whip in her hand crackled, and she threw out beautiful whips one after another, and shouted: "What are you doing? ”

"Who are you? What do you want to do here? ”

A group of people suddenly dispersed like birds and beasts, and the leader shouted in a trembling voice, "The little one is called Gu Liu, these are my brothers, they are the head of the Zhuang who was originally invited by the Sheng family, I want to continue to stay and help the new master's family." ”

Fang Cai's attitude of wanting to stay and contribute?

Li Qiusui pointed to the person who spoke, "You are their leader?" ”

The man stood up with trembling courage, puffed out his chest and said, "Have you heard of Yuyu Shengwu Hall?" There are my acquaintances inside, I am the head of the Zhuang who was originally invited by the Sheng family, I have been working here for more than ten years, there are more than these few people under my hands, hundreds of brothers, we are all familiar with each other......"

Li Qiusui raised her hand to interrupt, she is preparing to plant fruit trees, not to grab land, no matter how many brothers you have, are you familiar with the surroundings?

"Ancient Six! Let me ask you, how much does this thousands of acres of Zhuangzi produce in a year? Where do you sell hawthorn and dates? So, you say, how much income can you generate for the main family in a year? ”

Gu Liu coughed twice, "How can you say this?" Sometimes there is a drought and little rain, and sometimes there is a lot of rain, which affects the taste of the fruit, which is not certain......"

Li Qiusui didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, "I can always say it accurately this year, in another ten days and half a month, the fruits will be harvested one after another, just tell me, how do you plan to get this batch of fruits?" How much money can you hand me over? ”

"In previous years, the Sheng family wanted to eat and give it away......"

Li Qiusui, "My family doesn't like hawthorn and dates, you don't have to worry about eating at home, of course, you don't have to give them away." I spent more than 5,000 taels to buy the Zhuangzi ......"

The implication is that how many copies can you give me back?

The eyes surnamed Gu rolled his eyes, "Five thousand taels, girl, you were actually cheated by the Sheng family, their family is a down-and-out nobleman, and there are no losers in the family, you came to me earlier, and it didn't cost so much." Gu Liu rubbed his palms, and he was not so nervous when he talked to that lady, and he would be forced into a corner by a little girl.

Left and right, the ancient six just don't pick up Li Qiusui's words.

Li Qiusui's face was gloomy, "What is your relationship with Master Gu of the Yusheng Martial Arts Pavilion?" ”

Li Qiusui didn't wait for him to continue his nonsense, and said in a fluttering tone: "If you go to Yusheng, you will say that this Zhuangzi was bought by Li Xiaowu's family, and then come to deal with me." ”

Over there, Li Changshan arranged the matter of planting winter wheat, and trotted over to ask the angry Liu, "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

The Liu family said the matter in a low voice, and Li Changshan's face was pale and stood in front of Li Qiusui, "You want to continue to be the head of the village, just this attitude!" If you make trouble again, believe it or not, this will send you all to the government. ”

A local snake like Gu Liu, he is really not stunned, who is the Sheng family's Zhuangzi sold to? What is the basic background, I have inquired about it early. Li Qiusui said Master Yusheng Gu, and his heart chuckled. As soon as Li Changshan, the man in charge, came over, they were a little weaker.

After all, they are officials, and they really can't afford to mess with them.

I really have to inquire again, it's not good to continue to entangle.

The Ancient Six led the people to slip away.

Li Changshan's face was gloomy, and he watched the group leave.

His thoughts were the same as Liu's, he didn't plan to continue to use these people, he was impatient at all, and he didn't think that he would be so good at kung fu, so he actually found his mother and sister.

Li Changshan, "If they have something to do in the future, let him come to me directly." ”

Li Qiusui smiled and nodded, and then diverted from the conversation and talked about the side matter, "Plant a few rows of willow trees along the river bank." "It can improve the soil and reduce soil erosion." The original rooms on the Zhuangzi were just used as workshops and residences for the people of the medicine workshop, so let's re-allocate a place and build a house. ”

Make it more comfortable, and you can come and stay from time to time.

"Okay." Li Changshan has nothing to do.

The Zhuangzi is not all hawthorn and jujube trees, there is also a small piece of plum forest and bamboo garden, but the land is barren, and the main family does not pay attention to it, and the people below are lazy, allowing the wild grass to grow savagely and compete for nutrients, and the appearance is not very good, so the brother and sister discussed to build the house there.

Now that the family is coming to the capital, they don't have a clue about anything, so they can first straighten out the things in Zhuangzi and arrange the people in the medicine shop, and then they can breathe a sigh of relief.

The three mothers worked hard for a day, and only Xia He, Chu and Xiao Chengyan were left at home, and it was already dark when they got home.

Liu didn't see Li Sanzhu, frowned and asked Xia He, "Hasn't your father returned yet?" ”

Xia He, "Zhou Ping came back and said that he went to the palace, saying that it was the emperor's call, so let's not worry." ”
