It was so fragile, but it told Zhou Bai that the lack of life could be made up for by the way of the imperial examination.

As long as there are signs of evolution, it is easy to say, otherwise the period of one month will be equal to the countdown to Zhou Bai's death, and even when the time comes, he doesn't even know how he died.

Or thunder to the top, or crushed into powder by invisible forces, these are all predictable.

However, he was the first on the list of children in the examination, and he was scheduled to show his fame, so there was a sign of it, so was he unable to derive his complete life from the ordinary talent in the examination?

Thinking of this, Zhou Bai's originally somewhat happy brows furrowed again, it seemed that he had to be cautious about the county test in half a month.

It is not enough to show talent in the examination, you must get a top ranking, preferably the first in the case.

Zhou Xiangwen, who had been staring at Zhou Bai, saw that his nephew was sad and joyful, and thought that he had some grievances within the clan, so he hurriedly explained a few words to his entourage in private.

When Zhou Bai returned to his small courtyard, it was already full of gifts, congratulatory gifts from other rooms, but more rewards ordered by the patriarch.

All kinds of tonics are not counted, fifty taels of silver, one exclusive carriage, one full-time groom, two maids, and two martial artists......

Zhou Yuan beckoned to the servant who put the gift, and Fu Bo registered with the roster, and when he saw Zhou Bai coming back, he also asked with his eyes.

Zhou Bai bowed slightly, and asked Fu Bo to continue to register, and he accepted it.

When it was over, Zhou Xiangwen took a stack of yellowed old paper from the hands of the servants who came from afar and handed it to Zhou Bai.

"Brother Bai, this is the 300 acres of land deed that the patriarch asked me to transfer on my behalf."

Zhou Bai was stunned, this reward is too heavy, right? I didn't reach for a moment.

"Take it, these 300 acres of land used to be in your father's name, and then there was no show in the seven houses to be exempt from taxes, and it was returned to the clan land." Zhou Xiangwen continued to explain.

But no matter what, this is 300 acres of land, Zhou Bai's expression is complicated, and he slowly took the land deed.

"The patriarch said, even if you don't get into the exam this time because of your lack of luck, the three hundred acres of land are still yours and can be disposed of at will. It's just that the seven-room acres inherited under your name still have to wait for you to crown before giving it to you, which is a family rule. ”

"Thank you to the fifth uncle, thank you to the patriarch." After all, it was a short hand, and Zhou Bai opened his mouth to thank him.

Zhou Xiangwen saw that Zhou Bai's attitude had finally changed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said goodbye: "It's tiring to travel and travel, in this case, you can rest first, Zhou Rui's mother is still waiting to see him, this kid is only afraid of consuming his ancestors' yin blessings." ”

"Fifth uncle, the little nephew still has a reluctant request, can you lend me the old style for a while." Zhou Bai pointed to the old style that had been following Zhou Rui.

Zhou Xiangwen was a little stunned, and Zhou Rui pointed at Zhou Bai and scolded: "Okay, you Zhou Bai, you think about digging the foot of the wall all day long, but anyway, I won't go to the county test, forget it." ”

Zhou Rui seemed to scold Zhou Bai, but in fact, he explained the reason to Zhou Xiangwen, the way to the county town is far away, and it is inevitable to ask for a trustworthy groom.

"Hahaha, okay, you can follow Young Master Bai for the time being, just like you treat me." Zhou Xiangwen looked at the two brothers and ordered with a laugh.

"Yes, sir." The old style is very neat, and he immediately walked behind Zhou Bai.

In fact, the reason why Zhou Xiangwen is so simple is that he also has the idea of protecting Zhou Bai, and during this period of time, there have been many outlaws in Cangshan, and they are a little unruly.

The liveliness of the small courtyard lasted for a long time, and the spring breeze blew, so that the malicious eyes of the surrounding peeps were suppressed one by one.

Zhou Heyun didn't dare to appear in front of Zhou Bai at all, for fear of being humiliated, but Zhou Rui didn't plan to let him go.

Since I came back, I have been walking around outside the three-room house every day with children's papers, and I have a weird yin and yang when I meet it.

What occupies the most clan fortunes, but he is twenty-nine in the exam, why do you want him, the son of a businessman, to be at the bottom.

Zhou Rui was self-aware and knew that the county test was hopeless, so he had a lot of fun, and actually forced swingers like Zhou Heyun to study at home for a few days.

In addition to flipping through the collection of books in the clan, Zhou Bai is making arrangements for the future management of the family.

He sent Zhou Yuan and two martial artists to run all over Hongni Township and its surroundings, not because others visited him, but because he solicited him by letter.

Although the content of the letter is not so straightforward, it is not difficult to explain the meaning of wooing.

When Zhou Yuan came back, he brought more than ten letters, and most of the contents of the credible were Gu Zuoyan, and he did not promise to return to the effect.

Zhou Bai naturally understands that you are a child, even if you are the top of the list, you will not build a team so early.

But he is recruiting all the poor talents in his memory, and now he is recruiting a quasi-showman, and there are a few who are interested.

This Young Master Zhou Bai, even if he can't be promoted as an official in the future, he can also go to the sixth room of the county government to be a head of the house, so does the manor, acres and other assets under his name need to be managed?

You may understand this, but there are only a few people who accept the solicitation of unsuccessful teenagers.

In the end, only two children from peasant families, Zhong Wei and Yan Lie, clearly accepted the invitation in the reply, saying that as long as Zhou Bai needed it, he could come and attach it at any time.

Zhou Bai silently remembered the names of the two, and ordered Zhou Yuan to send five taels of silver each to appease.

In the future, he will recruit the nearby township party again, but the others will definitely be one step behind Zhong Wei and Yan Lie, and this is the return on investment.

The same is true of the Zhou family, who clearly showed favor and even took refuge at this time, although he didn't say it, he had a mark.

If he wants to succeed, in this world, the Zhou family has always been his basic plate, and the township party is his staunch supporter.

Since the patriarch is willing to make amends, and knows his mistakes, he is also willing to approve.

In his previous life, he followed the pace of the imperial court, but as a result, his family was ruined, and if he lived another life, of course he would not be a "loyal minister" again.

There is no property in the clan that needs him to send someone to take care of it, and there is no need for Zhong Wei and Yan Lie to come over for three hundred acres of land.

Of course, the key is that you can't afford it for the time being, so that people can take refuge, and you always have to raise it.

The surrounding area of the ancestral house is the most fertile land of the Zhou family, but there are 3,000 acres under the direct management of the Qunshitang, so those who are in charge of the manor fields like Zhou Bai are on the periphery.

Zhou Bai's 300 acres are located at the confluence of streams, and as long as two ditches are opened, it is a high-quality paddy field.

However, because of the remoteness of the core, it has not been developed more after being managed by the Qunshitang, but only hired a few tenant farmers to take care of it.

On February 20, before heading to the county seat, Zhou Bai passed by to inspect the fields.

On the ridge, Zhou Bai overlooked the vastness.

Because it was in the delivery stage, the spring seedlings had not yet been sown in the field, and there was not much scenery in a piece of loess, but in Zhou Bai's eyes, a trace of white gas converged towards him.

The resources that belong to oneself can be turned into luck, most of which are external transportation, but after a long time, they can also contain their own life, and this kind of foundation external transportation is the most solid one.

After a while, Zhou Bai retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at the old man who had been waiting beside him: "Your old name is Wang Liangtian?" Good name, no wonder it is a well-known farming expert. ”

"The young master can just call me the head of the old king, we don't dare to say anything else, but farming is a craft praised by the master." Wang Liangtian painted an image of an old farmer, rubbed his hands, and said a little nervously.

Zhou Bai waved his hand and said: "Don't be nervous, you are recommended by Fu Bo, I believe you, I call you to entrust you with land, and 300 acres will be handed over to you for planting." ”

"Old Fu?" In Wang Liangtian's memory, the old man didn't follow a broken young master, what's going on.

Zhou Bai didn't care about Wang Liangtian's doubts, threw out a money bag and said: "These twenty taels are for you, the canal and the cattle are all in it, I have the permission of the patriarch, you can also open the beach in the stream, and give you ten acres of private land for every 100 acres." ”

"With the trust of the young master, the old king will definitely surprise you in the summer harvest." Wang Liangtian couldn't suppress his excitement, and the descendants of his family were worried about their work.
