"Two years ago, there was a group of murderers in Changning County, and the county government couldn't do anything about them, I slaughtered them!"

As if sensing Zhao Yu's doubts, Xue Hu slowly opened his one eye at this time, glanced at Zhao Yu, and explained lightly:

"Later, the county magistrate of Changning County asked me to be the head of the yagong, and I stayed in the county government for a few days, so those errand officers gave me some face."

"I see!"

Zhao Yu suddenly looked at Xue Hu with blinking eyes.

Although Xue Hu said it easily, Zhao Yu still felt that it was not simple.

Because judging from the attitude of those errand servants, it is not just to give a little face, it is to be in awe of Xue Hu, and even a little afraid, to make them so, it should be more than just Xue Hu being the head of the official service.

However, thinking of the word 'slaughter' used when Xue Hu said 'murderer', Zhao Yu thought about it, and a bloody and terrifying scene appeared in his mind.

Involuntarily shuddered, Zhao Yu immediately put the matter behind him, and said with a smile:

"Master Hu, are you familiar with the county order of Changning County?"

"Uncooked! The previous county magistrate was transferred! ”

Xue Hu shook his head, said no more, and slowly closed his eyes again.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu no longer cared about this matter, but thought of another thing, and said curiously:

"Master Tiger, what are we going to Peach Blossom Village for today?"

Zhao Yu is not stupid, he knows that Xue Hu is not a person with no purpose, and he will not come to Peach Blossom Village for no reason, so he asked his doubts.

Hearing this, Xue Hu opened his eyes again, looked at Zhao Yu deeply, and said slowly:

"I have 100 acres of land in Taohua Village, and now the autumn harvest is approaching, I'll go and see the situation!"

"What? Are you still a landlord? ”

Zhao Yu almost stood up in shock, looking at Xue Hu full of little stars.

Xue Hu is unmarried, alone, with real estate, shops, and land, a proper diamond king! Isn't that what he's striving for? Zhao Yu looked adoring.

Looking at Zhao Yu's shocked appearance, Xue Hu smiled, and then closed his eyes again.

Seeing that Xue Hu didn't say much, Zhao Yu didn't ask much, and sat upright.

It's just that at this moment, Zhao Yu's mood is a little different, and he feels like a landlord going to the countryside to collect rent, even if the rent is not his.

The bad taste in his heart rose, and Zhao Yu was looking forward to it.

Silence returned to the carriage.

The carriage swayed, and the two of them headed towards Peach Blossom Village.

......

Taohua Village is in the west of Changning County.

It is located five miles from the county seat, surrounded by open land and surrounded by large rice fields.

It's autumn.

In that large area of rice fields, the rice is turning yellow, and the ears of rice are hanging low, exuding a pleasant golden yellow.

Although it is a dry year, the rice in Taohua Village is still heavy.

Under the early morning sun.

The morning breeze blows, and the rice crops rise and fall with each other, and the waves of rice chase away.

The heavy ears of rice collided with each other, and in the quiet field, there was a pleasant sound like wind chimes.

In the sound of the rice wind, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove along the country road into this picturesque golden autumn.

Inside the carriage.

Zhao Yu looked out the car window at the chasing rice waves in the field, and his heart suddenly brightened up, and his heart was relaxed:

"Watch the rice waves chasing, smell the fragrance of rice, and listen to the melodious sound of the rice wind! Master Tiger, are these rice fields yours? ”

Holding Inano in his arms, Zhao Yu greeted the wind and shouted.

Xue Hu also looked at the rice field outside the car window with a smile at this time, and nodded:

"Well, the piece you see is all the land in my name."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu was surprised, but he was more attracted by the scenery outside the window and looked around greedily.

The two of them enjoyed the scenery in the carriage.

Soon.

The carriage also entered Taohua Village along the country road and stopped in front of a large tiled house.

In front of the door, there are old and young people waiting here.

The old man was an old farmer, older than Xue Hu, with silver threads on his temples, but his honest face had a pair of eagle-like eyes.

The youngest one was a teenager, dressed in a black narrow-sleeved dragging, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, very strong.

When the two saw the carriage coming, they hurried to meet it, and after Xue Hu and Zhao Yu walked out of the carriage, they saluted Xue Hu:

"I've seen the Tiger Master!"

"Humph! How many times has Hongyi told you, don't have so much red tape between our brothers! ”

Xue Hu glared at the old farmer angrily, and then jumped out of the carriage.

The old peasant sneered:

"The rules can't be broken, the tiger master is good to us, we can't be without rules!"

After speaking, the old farmer happened to see Zhao Yu jump out of the carriage, and his face was suddenly filled with a rich smile:

"Master Tiger, this is your apprentice, right? This body should be a good martial arts practitioner! ”

"Whether it's a good hand or not, you'll know later!"

Speaking of Zhao Yu, Xue Hu also showed a smile on his face, and then introduced to Zhao Yu:

"This is called Li Hongyi, my old brother in the army, and now he is helping me manage these fields in Taohua Village, and you will call him Li Bo in the future! Behind him is his son, Lee Tae! ”

"Yes! I've seen Uncle Li, I've seen Brother Li! ”

Zhao Yu learned the appearance of a martial artist and saluted with his fists.

"I can't do it, I can't do it! The little master is the apprentice of the tiger master, and we should salute you! ”

Li Hongyi hurriedly helped Zhao Yu up, and then scolded the tiger-headed young man behind him:

"Tai'er, why don't you give a salute to the little master?"

"I've seen the little master!"

When Li Tai heard this, he immediately saluted trivially, but his eyes looked at Zhao Yu curiously.

Zhao Yu had received this kind of treatment, and hurriedly waved his hand in embarrassment.

But before Zhao Yu could speak, Xue Hu waved his hand impatiently:

"It's all your own people, what are you doing with so much red tape? Go in and say! ”

"Yes, Master Tiger, please!"

Li Hongyi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led Xue Hu and Zhao Yu into the house.

Inside the hall of the house.

Xue Hu sat in the guest seat, Zhao Yu sat under him, and Li Hongyi stood in front of Xue Hu, introducing the situation in Peach Blossom Village:

"There is a big drought this year, but our Hengzhou Mansion is also a land of fish and rice, the water system is developed, although the river has dried up a lot, but we still got some irrigation water in Taohua Village, so this year's harvest is expected to be less than two or three percent, not a bad harvest!"

"And then there's the aqueduct! My subordinates want to build a canal at the edge of our field, so that it can be used to store water in case of drought and drain water during floods, and there are ......"

Li Hongyi chattered and talked about the affairs of Peach Blossom Village.

Zhao Yu sat on the side, listening carefully, his eyes flickering constantly.

However, when Xue Hu heard this, he impatiently raised his hand to interrupt Li Hongyi:

"You can do the things here, you don't need to tell me more, the canal should be repaired, you are in charge, just tell me when the time comes!"

As he spoke, Xue Hu frowned again and muttered:

"Although the harvest will not be lost this year, it will be a big problem for our tenants to lose two or three percent! If you do this, tell our tenants that this year's rent will be reduced by 30%! ”

"Yes! On behalf of the tenants of Taohua Village, the subordinates thanked the tiger master for his great kindness! ”

Li Hongyi bowed to Xue Hu gratefully.

He lives in Peach Blossom Village, also farms Xue Hu's land, and knows the hardships of tenants, and now Xue Hu has reduced his rent, and he is grateful.

Xue Hu nodded, didn't say anything more, and took a sip of the tea on the table.

Zhao Yu saw the opportunity, and suddenly said to Li Hongyi:

"Lieber, you are often busy in the fields, do you know the crops of corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes?"
