Spring goes and autumn comes.

In the blink of an eye.

Another year has passed.

During the spring ploughing period of the twenty-third year of Qing'an, Li Tong's family finally relented and rented three acres of riverside land outside Qingshan County to Wei Tu and his wife.

However, in terms of rent, Li Tong's family did not let up in the slightest, and like other tenants, sixty percent of the grain produced in the field had to be handed over.

Fortunately, the Li family's rent included the land tax levied by the government, unlike other wealthy owners, who had to pay the land tax.

Other words.

Wei Tu planted three acres of land, except for sixty percent of the rent, and the remaining forty percent was his own.

In addition, while planting wheat, you can also plant some soybeans between wheat seedlings.

This is another increase in revenue.

Half a month before the wheat was ripe, the old man Li Yaozu took Wei Tu, a servant, into the Fucheng together, and handed over the shackles of the eldest son Li Xingye in the Fuxue Academy.

"The Fuxue teaching is really not a thing, obviously it takes ten days for the wheat to ripen, so I have to tie this point, and I obviously want to scavenge a little more silver......

On the way, Li Yaozu rode on a horse, led by Wei Tu to Fucheng, and as he walked, he looked back at the mule cart carrying grain behind him, and then complained that this year's tie was handed over too early, which made him lose money in vain.

Wei Tu remained silent, quietly listening to Li Yaozu's long sighs and talking to himself.

Annually.

Before harvesting.

After the grain is harvested.

The price of food is two-priced.

It seems that the same bundle has been handed over, but because the price of grain is different, Fuxue Academy can make a lot of money by taking advantage of this point in time to resell it.

Wei Tu has heard these filths of Fuxue from Li Yaozu not ten times, but eight times, and he has long been familiar with them.

"In another half a month, after the food is finished, the lack of money will be enough."

"All that's left is to persuade Li Yaozu and Li Tong to redeem the deed."

Wei Tu thought to himself.

It was almost as planned, after more than a year of frugality, the money in his hand was not much different from ten taels of redemption silver.

Now, all that is missing is to persuade Li Yaozu and Li Tong to agree to his redemption, return the deed to him, and be willing to write a letter to prove it.

And yet—

Just when Wei Tu was thinking about how to redeem his own deed, Li Yaozu, the old man who complained about the teachings of the mansion, suddenly opened his mouth to talk to him.

"Wei Tu, you are burly and have a lot of strength, why don't you stay and be a little guy over there."

"Protect him."

"I'm a father, so I can rest assured."

Li Yaozu tightened the reins, prompting Wei Tu in front of the horse to stop, then glanced at Wei Tu condescendingly, touched the goatee under his chin, and said with a gleam in his eyes.

"There are people waiting around the eldest young master, I went to grab a seat, and it will be bad for the eldest young master's reading mood." Wei Tu was stunned for a moment, found a suitable reason, and prevaricated.

"In more than half a year, it will be the county's children's test."

Wei Tu added.

The difference between the time of Wenju and Wuju in the county is about half a month, Wenju is in front and Wuju is behind, so he knows the time of the Tong test clearly.

"Also, you can't miss the study of IB." Li Yaozu hesitated for a moment, nodded heavily, and did not mention this matter again.

But.

Li Yaozu didn't mention it again.

But Weitu took it to heart.

"Li Yaozu wants to break me away when he is busy in the autumn, what do you think?"

After handing over the bundles, on the way to Li Mansion in Qingshan County, Wei Tu has been thinking about the reason for this incident.

Master Li Yaozu is a person who is not easy to get along with, this is the consensus of Li Zhai's subordinates.

And this also shows Li Yaozu's shrewdness in disguise, and he is not easy to fool.

He could have thought that the change of retinue would affect the eldest young master Li Xingye's reading problem, could it be that Li Yaozu couldn't think of this?

It's impossible!

Return to the Li Mansion.

Wei Tu looked for Caixia, who was the big girl, told Caixia about the confusion in his heart, and then asked Caixia for her opinion.

Caixia and him are the same people who entered the Li Mansion, and the relationship has always been good.

The news that his marriage with Xinghua was forgiven by Li Tong's family was also told by Caixia through Chunlan's mouth.

"In my opinion, it may be that the old man started Sister Xinghua's idea......"

Caixia pulled Wei Tu to the corner of the corridor, found a direction that no one could see, and whispered her judgment.

"Recently, the eldest grandmother is not very happy, a few nights ago, I heard the old man and the eldest grandmother arguing, saying that the old man had an affair with the mother-in-law and aunt of those tenants......"

"The master will let you go, no one will take care of the field you rented, and Sister Xinghua will let him take care of it."

Caixia said word by word.

"What a sinister mind......"

After listening to Caixia's words, Wei Tu's face suddenly darkened, and he couldn't wait to split Li Yaozu's five horses into corpses and cut them with a thousand knives.

Before.

He had heard that some tenants would offer their mothers-in-law and aunts to sleep with in order to rent good land from their landlords.

But I never thought that this seemingly "kind" Li Zhai was also full of these calculations.

Let him be the entourage of the eldest young master, I am afraid it is not Li Yaozu's true thoughts, and using this matter to force him to submit, and offering apricot blossoms is his real purpose.

Don't do it.

The grain that has been planted for a year of hard work is wasted in the ground.

Don't do it.

If you want to rent such a good field next year, it's just a no-brainer.

As for why Li Yaozu didn't directly force Xinghua, who was not married before, to comply, he could also guess the approximate reason.

First, because Li Tong's family is strict and a little jealous, Li Yaozu is not allowed to take a concubine and attack the maids around him.

Even Caixia, a big girl, has been a maid for so long, and now she is still innocent.

The two, also because of the family style, can't spread the rumor that Li Yaozu, the eldest man, likes to play tricks and maids in the Li Mansion, so he has lost his reputation.

Li Yaozu himself didn't want this to happen.

Three.

Playing with the maid.

It is a difficult matter to give or not to give a name.

And forcing the tenant mother-in-law to comply, there will be no worries.

The untouchables in the countryside do not have the feudal etiquette of "death is small, and loss of festival is big", as long as this matter is not known, it can be gently exposed.

"I know this."

"Thanks, Caixia."

After a while, Wei Tu slowly released his clenched fist, bowed to Caixia, and said.

"It's not a big deal." Caixia smiled, "When I was punished by my grandmother before, Sister Xinghua secretly sent me food, and I have been reading this grace." ”

……

Back to the hall.

After feeding the half-big dark horse, Wei Tu played several health exercises and warmed up his body.

"With my current strength, if not a certainty, it is not far from winning the fame of martial arts."

"Directly find Li Tong's words to redeem herself, with her cleverness, she shouldn't stop me."

Wei Tu mused.

Shallow water can't raise a real dragon.

He believed that Li Tong's clan should understand that leaving a martial artist with a "backbone" at home would cause trouble.

"If it doesn't work......"

"Li Tong's unwise ......"

Wei Tu's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness.

With a sharp blade in his heart, he has a murderous heart.

With his current strength, it would not be difficult to slaughter an entire Li Mansion.

Of course, he was worried about Li Zhai's kindness to him, and he wouldn't do this, but he would still escape from Li Zhai, fall into the grass, and become a knife bandit.

He's had enough of being submissive.

Two roads.

Either redeem yourself to participate in the martial arts, or fall into the grass and become a swordsman!
