Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao and the others ran too fast, and it was impossible for them to wait for Old Zhoutou. With such a big sun hanging, it was so boring to wait on the road.

So they went all the way to ask where to go first.

It was a pretty big village, it looked almost as big as Dali Village, but the houses were not very neat, and in the endless wilderness, there were still a few households sporadically dotted.

Man Bao restrained Chi Ji, turned around twice, looked around, pointed to the big village, and said, "It should be there, let's go, let's go and have a look."

The three of them hit their horses, and Daji followed behind with two guards. ,

Ma ran to the entrance of the village, and the children who were watching the millet at the entrance of the village jumped up immediately. Half of them stood under trees or under the eaves to watch them from a distance, and half of them turned around and ran back to the village.

This looks similar to their village. Man Bao beat the horse to the front, looked at Bai Shan and jumped off the horse.

Man Bao took off his purse and poured out two pieces of snacks from it. Seeing so many children, he was a little embarrassed to shoot.

Bai Shan touched his body and only found out a few pieces of snacks.

Bai Erlang glanced at them with contempt, took out his purse, and poured out a dozen candies.

The children's eyes lit up.

The three distributed the candies and snacks to them and asked, "Is this Pu Village in Qiyang County?"

Even a child knows the name of the county and village, so he nodded, "Yes, who are the nobles looking for?"

Man Bao smiled and said, "I want to find your lijian."

Just as he was talking, a few adults followed a group of children mightily over.

The head is an old man, who wears wide sleeves, which is long inside at first glance.

In the countryside, besides the landlord and the lichang, who would wear wide sleeves?

And I heard that most of Pu Village are tenant farmers, and there are no rich and landed landlords like Bai.

So Man Bao walked forward with a smile, and the old man bowed first. The other party's eyes quickly swept the clothes and accessories on them. His eyes swept across the horse behind them. Naturally, he also saw the tall and strong Daji. three guards.

The head of the rib also smiled and returned the salute before asking, "How many young ladies and sons is this?"

Man Bao hurriedly took out her official seal and the documents given by the Ministry of Housing from her sleeve pocket. It was actually a thin piece of paper with the seal of the Ministry of Household on it, indicating the scope and location of her work field. .

"At the end of next week, I came to see the job field under my name."

The rior looked at Zhou Man in surprise. He knew that the field under his jurisdiction had changed officials again, and he heard that he was an editor and imperial physician, so he felt a little looser, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually a little girl.

He glanced at the paper in his hand and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to manage the job field by yourself?"

Man Bao smiled and said, "I want to let my family take care of it. Of course, I still need to take care of the li in the future."

Man Bao grew up in the village since he was a child, so he knew how important the support of a rior was.

The rior smiled and said, "The adults are joking, what can the villains take care of the adults?"

He immediately came back to his senses, folded the official document he had read and handed it to Zhou Man, took the bamboo hat from his son behind him, put it on, and said, "Since the lord is here, why don't you show the lord your position? field?"

Man Bao readily agreed.

So everyone turned and walked out of the village.

People in the village soon knew that it was the adults from the field who came to see their fields. This was related to everyone's livelihood, so many people followed behind to see it.

The rior looked at Zhou Man and the others quietly. Seeing that they were calm, they didn't seem to mind, so he didn't drive the villagers away.

Not all of Manbao's thousands of acres of work fields are here, but most of them are here, and some are in the other two li and villages, but those two places occupy less, so Manbao came here first.

At this time, the crops in the field have been fully harvested, and the field is either empty or overgrown with weeds.

Manbao and the others have all cultivated the land, and they have grown up in the village since they were children. They often see people who plant in spring and harvest in autumn, and how the tenant farmers are working. You can guess just by looking at the conditions in the fields.

At this time, the fields just after harvesting were full of weeds.

Man Bao walked to the ground, kicked the weeds in the ground with his toes, then squatted down and pulled it, but he didn't pull it out with a lot of energy.

Bai Shan squatted down and dug a handful of soil, stretched out his hand and pinched it, and said to Man Bao, "It's all cooked soil, but I don't turn it over very often, so the soil quality is not good."

Standing next to him, Li Chang’s brows twitched slightly. He turned his head and glanced at Bai Shan. He saw that his clothes were the most luxurious. The silk and satin on his body were still dark lines, and only a half-hidden crane was embroidered on his sleeve. He looked at a group of people. The most expensive of them all.

He didn't think he knew how to farm.

Man Bao nodded, looked up into the distance, and found that there were weeds everywhere she raised her eyes, and she had a headache. That's all, her father wanted to bury the weeds for the winter. She felt that her elder brother and their waists It will probably be painful.

Man Bao shook his head and asked the Lieutenant, "Where does this job field always come from?"

Such a large piece of land, it is impossible to walk all over, but the mayor can point to and tell her where to go, and which parts are missing. It belongs to the good people. "

Although other people's fields are occasionally sandwiched in between, basically all her fields can be connected.

The court was able to connect such a large piece of land, and it seems that it bought land from people.

Man Bao had a problem in his heart, and he was unhappy if he didn't ask clearly, and asked, "I heard that the imperial court would buy land from the common people. This used to be the land of the villagers?"

The lieutenant was stunned and smiled: "That's not true, this piece used to belong to a general surnamed Liu, that was the time of the former dynasty, and it is even more difficult to trace back. In my grandfather's time, I heard that It takes two years for these ten miles and eight townships to be replaced by a refugee commander. Today it belongs to this general, and tomorrow it belongs to the master. After the establishment of this dynasty, the court directly took back this large piece, and later distributed it to appointed officials to work as fields."

Li Chang said: "I have all moved here from other places after losing the land, and I have only settled here for more than ten years."

Man Bao was curious, "Then where is your hometown?"

The chief said, "It's not too far. It's also in Qiyang County, but it's on the other side."

Bai Shan asked, "Why did you lose ground?"

The lieutenant was silent for a while, then squeezed out a smile and said, "The emperor's grace is mighty, our land was bought by the imperial court."

Man Bao three people: ...

Man Bao nodded, walked down this large piece of dry land, and walked to the field, and saw that the ground in the field was cracked. I know this place is very dry.

She asked, "Is there a locust plague this year?"

"Yes, but it's not big," Li Chang also glanced at the crack in the ground, knowing that these little sons and lords are all people who know how to farm, so he didn't hide it, "Don't think that there are not many locusts now, Let the kids run into the grass and they'll all fly."
