After Qin Wen and the five people entered the manor, they saw that Lu Mo was taking the monk to eat in the side room, and the five of them had eaten dry food on the road for the past two days, so they ate casually, and then after Lu Mo arranged the task of the monk on duty, Qin Wen and Lu Mo came to the main hall together.

After each of them sat down, Qin Wen first introduced Brother Cheng, Xiao Liu, and Chang Yue to Lu Mo, and then let Xiao Liu and Chang Yue also meet Lu Mo, and then they followed Lu Mo in this manor in Dongcheng, Qin Wen also specially instructed Lu Mo that if there is anything to go to Xicheng in the future, try not to let Xiao Liu go, so as not to let his enemies recognize him.

After arranging the affairs of Xiao Liu and Chang Yue, Qin Wen opened his mouth and asked Lu Modao, "How is the main hall in the backyard being repaired now?"

Lu Mo thought for a while and said: "The framework has been roughly built, but according to your instructions, try to ensure that it is quiet, and do not rush the construction period, it is estimated that if it is at this speed, it will be completed in about ten days, by the way, Qin Danshi, I have one more thing to report to you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a few pieces of paper from his storage bag, handed them to Qin Wen and said: "These are the private land deeds we brought back from the Shi family, as well as a courtyard in the southeast, now the main courtyard has been given to the Ji Mansion, I also took a look at this courtyard, although it is not as big as ours here, but it is about the same, it can accommodate dozens of monks, and there are more rooms, I will let Gao Meng take a few monks to live there for the time being." ”

"In the future, we can also send more monks to that side, that is, the private field now needs to recruit some more people, when I went to the courtyard, I also went to the private field by the way, there are nearly 100 acres of fields, which are planted with some grain, which should be used to supply the food of the entire Shi family. ”

Qin Wen pondered slightly at this time and said, "Why do you still need to call in the hired workers? What about the hired workers who used to work in the Shi family? Find a few suitable monks here to be overseers, don't let them beat and scold the hired workers at will, and the salary can be improved, so as to stabilize the situation first. ”

Lu Mo said with a wry smile: "This Shi family didn't hire workers in the first place, maybe they think that the number of land is relatively small, and it is not cost-effective to hire long-term employees." So I only found two stewards to manage there in normal times, and when the farm was busy, I hired hired workers temporarily, as for the two stewards, I have already made sense, they continue to manage in the private fields, and there is another steward to report at noon today, saying that the crops will be harvested in more than half a month, and what should I do about the hired workers?"

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "So be it." You first discuss with them, see where they are looking for the hired workers, and then inquire about the price, tomorrow I will be on duty, and after I have been on duty for three days, let's go to the private field to have a look, I have also heard that when the crops are harvested, there are idle monks in the mountains and forests who will come to grab things. Let's talk about security again. ”

Lu Mo nodded in agreement, and Qin Wen saw that the sky outside had darkened at this time. He left the manor with Xiao Zheng and Brother Cheng, leaving Xiao Liu and Chang Yue here.

After returning to the courtyard where he lived, Qin Wen asked Lu Tiancheng to clean up a room for Brother Cheng and arranged for him to stay. Qin Wen is also a small manor owner in the Expulsion City, but he does not rely on the land to live, and it is impossible for those lands for Qin Wen to feed so many monks, which means that Qin Wen is very likely to be a transit station connected with the Demon Realm, which also makes Brother Cheng more at ease.

Next is Qin Wen's three-day duty time. Qin Wen and Xiao Zheng also took Brother Cheng who had been following behind Qin Wen, and then the three of them walked around the street for three days, Qin Wen also told Brother Cheng some basic knowledge of pills in his spare time, although Brother Cheng has been specializing in potions during this time, but he has not received systematic Dan Dao learning, Qin Wen will start with the most basic, and by the way, understand what his heart is.

During the three-day break, after Qin Wen got up early, he came to the manor in Dongcheng and found Lu Modao, who was supervising the work: "Today is my time to rest, let's go to the private field to have a look, it is good to have these crops, at least we don't have to buy food this year." ”

The two of them walked out of the manor with Brother Cheng, followed the road out of the city in Dongcheng, and walked to the southwest, and at a glance they saw the golden crops that were about to be harvested, but there were not many overseers in each field, which was a little different from what Qin Wen had seen a few days ago, so he turned around and asked Lu Modao: "Why are the people in the private fields in Dongcheng and Xicheng different now?"

Lu Mo thought for a while and said: "I also asked the steward of the private field in the past two days, because the crops planted in Dongcheng, Xicheng and Beicheng are different, so the harvesting time is not the same, Dongcheng should be the earliest, Xicheng is later, roughly two months later, so there are many fewer people in the field who need to do work now." ”

The three of them walked to a house as they spoke, and Lu Mo pointed to the two low grass houses in the middle and said: "This is the house where the Shi family used to manage private fields lived, they originally had houses in the courtyard of the city, and now the courtyard in the city belongs to the Ji family, so they live here temporarily." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Mo said in an explanatory tone: "One of them is in charge of his family, and he was also sold to Beicheng by me at that time, and after I knew it in the past two days, he redeemed it from Beicheng again, and now he is also at home to our Qin family, and they told me that I have a lot of experience in managing private fields." ”

Qin Wen nodded, saw a few stone houses next to the grass house and said, "Why didn't the Shi family use stones to build the house? This also doesn't cost too many spirit stones." ”

Lu Mo thought for a while and said, "It should be that the Shi family's private land is too small, so their head of the family doesn't take the stewards and hired workers seriously, so they have been accommodating like this." ”

Qin Wen pondered for a while and said, "In this way, when harvesting the crops, you will live there for the time being, and when the farming is over, you can find a few monks, rip off these two grass houses, and then build two sturdy houses." ”

After Lu Mo agreed, the three of them walked into the grass house, a relatively large grass house, crowded with a family of six, both adults and children, all looking at Qin Wen who came in, and two slightly smaller children were scared to squeeze into their mother's arms.

One of the middle-aged monks with a full beard also looked at Qin Wen in surprise, but he immediately recognized Lu Mo behind Qin Wen, so he hurriedly said, "Steward Lu, why are you here?

Lu Mo gestured to Qin Wen in front of him at this time and said: "Lao He, this is the head of our house, Qin Ye, today I came to the private field to have a look, just now he also said that as long as you can take care of the crops, after the crops are harvested, I will build you two spacious stone houses." ”

Lao He couldn't help but bow down and salute: "It turned out to be Qin Ye, the little one really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, it's too messy here, snub Qin Ye, go, you go out first, tidy up, wash the teapot a few more times, and give Qin Ye a clean tea." As he spoke, he carried the woman and the child out of the hut.

Qin Wen sat casually on a clean stool, looked at the restrained Lao He, and asked first: "How many years have you been a steward in Shifu?

Lao He lowered his head and replied: "I have been a steward in Shifu for more than fifty years, my father used to be a steward in Xicheng, I was hired by the Shi family master back then, and I was given ten medium-grade spirit stones a month, which is basically enough for the expenses of the family." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "How many children do you have now? These ten medium-grade spirit stones are not enough for cultivation, right?"

Lao He smiled bitterly and said: "There are four children, three boys and one girl, I still had some ideas when I didn't start a family before I practiced, but now I don't have that idea, I just want to be able to be a steward of a private field in peace, and I can just make my children a family in the future." ”

Qin Wen thought for a while and said: "You are still young now, it is not easy to cultivate to the realm of Xuanshi, it would be a pity to give up, so let's do it, I will temporarily raise your monthly example to a high-grade spirit stone, as long as you can do things with peace of mind in the future, the reward is the same as that of the monks in the manor, there are pills and suitable skills." ”

Lao He was pleasantly surprised and wanted to kneel on the ground to kowtow to Qin Wen, but was stopped by Qin Wen, and then said: "You don't have to thank me first, as long as you work at ease in my Qin Mansion, I won't treat you badly, I heard that this crop is now in the harvest season, today I just came to see, when were the hired workers of Shifu found in the past, how long did it take?"

Lao He explained carefully at this time: "In the past, Shifu hired workers in the first five days of the harvest, which took about two months, and most of them hired about ten people. ”

Qin Wen waved his hand and said: "Let the hired workers do the work, you are mainly responsible for managing affairs, this year you will hire fifteen people, and the children will not do it, and the children will also be the hope of our Qin Mansion in the future, if we recruit more monks, I will find a monk professionally, and teach them to practice according to the children's talents in the future." ”

Listening to Qin Wen's words, Lao He's eyes became brighter and brighter, he didn't expect the proprietor of the Qin family to be so generous, he reciprocated the peach, and thought about Qin Wen everywhere in the process of discussion, and when a few people were discussing the details, suddenly a young monk walked in outside and said: "Lao He, the steward of the Zhao Mansion who manages the private land just said that he wants you to discuss the matter of private land protection this year."
