Early the next morning, Ren Pingsheng took Xiaowan, Sledgehammer, and Liu Shu, who was idle because the shop had been closed for the New Year, rented a carriage and went out of the south gate and headed for the Ren family farm outside the city.

"There are no fewer refugees."

Ren Pingsheng lifted the curtains and looked towards the porridge outside. The refugees in the queue stood like a long queue, shivering in the cold wind.

"A few days ago, the town quietly added another porridge sound, and the errand also went to our shop to collect 2 taels of silver, and if you don't give it, you won't leave."

Liu Shu said with a somewhat unhappy face: "Afterwards, I inquired with the rest of the shops in Ping'anfang, and counted how much our shops collected!"

and the 'Lotus Leaf Fang's daily business is so good, and it only collects 500 yuan every day. ”

Ren Pingsheng didn't make a sound, just narrowed his eyes.

Although the collection is not much, this is the mayor bullying outsiders!

This shows the mayor's unfriendly attitude towards the Ren family.

Suppressing this unhappiness in his heart, Ren Pingsheng said: "Give it to him today, he will have his own reckoning tomorrow." ”

The carriage traveled very quickly on the compacted dirt road, but when it turned on the way to the farm, it became potholed, and the carriage was bumped upside down.

"Brother Ren, it's almost there!"

The sledgehammer driving outside shouted.

Ren Pingsheng lifted the curtain in front of him, and what caught his eye was a much more spectacular city wall than before.

The new city wall, more than four meters high, is made of adobe layer by layer, and there are a few more edges and corners, and the enclosed land is about 100 acres.

There are also many villagers on the path outside the village, pushing wheelbarrows and transporting red soil to the farm.

On the side of the farm, Ren Pingsheng saw a wooden camp, which was made of round whole wood, which looked very solid.

"That was the camp where Liu Qiang and his escort team were arranged. The convoy dwelt in it. ”

Xiao Wan also poked her head out and said to Ren Pingsheng.

"Ten thousand people are single-minded, Mount Tai can be shaken! Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting······"

When Ren Pingsheng was looking at the camp, a loud singing voice came.

Ren Pingsheng saw a group of teenagers, in groups of several people, singing songs, carrying trees with the thickness of an adult's waist on their backs and walking towards the direction of the farm from a distance.

The teenagers are full of vitality, loud voices, strong physique, and some sense of bravery.

"No wonder the old village chief said that there is a set of strong son training, and it is really good."

Ren Pingsheng's first impression of these teenagers is very good.

The carriage soon came to the gates of the city.

The gate was wide enough for two carriages to stagger together, and the carpenter's gate was thick and thick.

I don't know who saw Ren Pingsheng and went to report Hu Laosan in advance.

At this time, Hu Laosan was walking quickly towards the city gate with a cane. As soon as the carriage stopped, Ren Pingsheng had just jumped off the carriage, and Hu Laosan had already arrived here, his body was spotted and dusty, and he had obviously been busy.

"Master, I heard from Steward Liu this morning that you would come, but I don't know when you will arrive, so I couldn't wait at the city gate."

Hu Laosan said cautiously.

"It's okay, just don't delay the construction of the house."

Ren Pingsheng looked around.

At this time, the farm was much larger than when I first came, and it was surrounded by busy figures, the wheels of the carts were turning rapidly, the shouts of the people were coming and going, and seven or eight adobe houses were being built at the same time.

However, compared to the first time they came, these people's originally vegetable-colored faces were a little more healthy, apparently a month of lard stir-fried vegetables, which replenished their bodies with oil and water.

"The owner!"

At this time, the sixth child also came over with a tea kettle.

"I see a lot more of this person?"

Ren Pingsheng just looked around and found that the number of people was obviously more than before.

The sixth replied: "In addition to training those boys here, Brother Qiang is going to squat in the refugee team outside the city, and he has collected some people these days.

In addition to the refugees, we also bought some of the surrounding land, and there were 7 more tenants and 120 acres of land in the farm. ”

At this time, Xiao Wan took out a small notebook from her body and said, "A total of 45 people have been added, including 25 craftsmen and 20 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18.

The number of tenants increased by 7 households with 42 people.

The current population of the farm is 285 people. ”

"Yes, it's still a small bowl girl."

The sixth man praised.

Over there, Hu Laosan couldn't help but glance at Xiao Wan, feeling a little impressed by this female baby who followed the master.

I've only been to the farm once, and I know the number of people in the farm.

How can ordinary people have this ability!

And for the housekeeper of Renfu, Xiao Wan is now in pain when looking at these data.

Although Ning Xiang Zhai launches a new type of soap every week, it promotes high soap sales, which can be regarded as a daily profit.

But she can't help but spend a lot of money when she earns a lot, and she now feels that Ning Xiangzhai's money is just a hand in her, and she can't keep it at all.

If the number of people continues to increase and the workshop continues to invest, there will soon be a deficit.

"Let's take a turn."

Ren Pingsheng took Xiaowan, Liu Shu, Lao Liu and Hu Laosan around the farm.

The newly planned houses of the farm are built in the shape of what he called the "well", horizontal and vertical, and each road is straight to each other.

There are two main roads that cross the farm, leading to the four gates.

"There is a breeding farm planned here, and the pigs and sheep collected in the surrounding villages in the past few days are raised here."

When Ren Pingsheng arrived near the north gate, he saw a piece of land fenced with a fence with a few black pigs and seven or eight sheep in it.

"Let's go up to the walls and have a look."

Ren Pingsheng stepped onto the city wall from the kicking city at the north gate.

The city wall is one meter and two wide, although it is not as good as the city wall of Qingcheng City, which is five or six meters wide, but it is very spacious for people to walk around on the city wall.

After climbing the city wall, the view is immediately much wider.

Walking around the city wall, I looked at the layout of the farmstead, and the house was about a third of the way built, and several courtyards had been built in the workshop area on the west side of the south gate, and some of the vacant land that was left could be planned at any time in the future.

Ren Pingsheng saw that there was a yard full of wood that had been cut, and several craftsmen were busy making small carts there.

At this rate, after fifteen years, the entire farm was almost completed.

"Sixth, it's almost the New Year, let's kill a few pigs today to treat everyone."

When he came down from the south city gate, Ren Pingsheng suddenly said to the sixth child.

"Boom."

Hu Laosan, who also heard Ren Pingsheng speak, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and quietly saw that others didn't notice it, so he put his mind at ease.

"Okay, I'll go talk to the cook."

The sixth child would never refute Ren Pingsheng's opinion: "Hu Laosan, you go and talk to everyone." ”

Lao Liu and Hu Lao San left in a hurry.

Soon there was a burst of enthusiastic whistling in the crowd.

"Wow~~"

"Long live Master Ren!"

Someone shouted.

The wheels of the cart are spinning faster.
