Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

"Lord Qin Mu, we have been swept by Turks, chased by bandits, and robbed by Qiu Ba, but we have never met an official like you."

Xu Gongqing supported Qin Mu's arms, speaking excitedly.

"Don't worry." Qin Mu helped him up, "From now on, with me, Qin Mu, no one will dare to bully the people of Mangya Village."

......

Mangya Village.

central square.

All the men, women and children of the village gathered here to eat the food brought by Qin Mu.

Qin Mu made a rough count.

There are quite a lot of people in this village.

There are more than 1000 people and more than [-] households.

However, most of them are refugees who fled from famine, and they hardly have any property except people.

Just eating flatbread and drinking the rice porridge that has just been boiled.

There were happy smiles on their faces.

This smile comes from the heart.

"Master, you can drink a bowl too."

Xu Gongqing came to Qin Mu's side with a bowl of rice porridge, with joy on his face.

He also changed his address to Qin Mu, calling the young master more intimate.

Looking at the people in a village, eating and drinking.

Xu Gongqing didn't know how happy he was.

He didn't know when was the last time he was so happy.

"it is good."

Qin Mu was also polite, picked up the porridge bowl, and took a big gulp.

"Young master, we will be purchasing farm tools tomorrow, and the strong men in our village will be busy."

"Actually, there is a lot of fertile land around Mangya Town, covering hundreds of acres. That's why we chose to settle here in the first place."

"As August is about to pass, we can use one month in September to reclaim fertile land, and then plant winter wheat in October."

"Hey...if the weather is good, next year will be a bumper harvest."

"At that time, we won't need your relief, young master, and we can pay you a lot of food."

Xu Gongqing said with a smile on his face and hope in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he was a little embarrassed.

"However, the grain seeds still need to be provided by the young master..."

Chapter 41: The Uninvited Guest of Mangya Village

"no problem."

Taking advantage of the heat, Qin Mu swallowed the porridge in three mouthfuls, and passed the bowl to Xu Zhaolin who was beside him.

Xu Zhaolin is a big man who just made his way in front of the village.

He is Xu Gongqing's nephew.

Xu Gongqing has a son who broke his leg last month and is still lying at home.

"But this food is not very valuable."

Qin Mu said casually.

The words fall.

Xu Gongqing and Xu Zhaolin's faces were a bit ugly, they thought Qin Mu didn't want to produce grain seeds.

"Master, this food is worthless..."

Xu Gongqing frowned and responded.

But halfway through the conversation, I don't know how to answer.

Qin Mu saw what the two of them were thinking, and responded with a smile: "Mr. Xu, don't misunderstand, I will definitely give out the grain seeds, but you can keep the grain, and I don't need you to pay for a grain of grain."

Snapped!

The porridge bowl in Xu Zhaolin's hand fell to the floor and shattered.

He looked at Qin Mu in surprise, unable to believe it.

Produce grain seeds, but don’t want grain?

This...

Here's what to think.

Xu Gongqing looked at the broken bowl on the ground, felt distressed, and cursed at Xu Zhaolin: "You bastard, be careful, we have already caused trouble for the young master, why are you so careless?"

"Isn't a bowl worth a coin?"

"Hehe..." Xu Zhaolin scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I... I heard what the young master said, I'm excited, aren't I?"

"You're so excited!" Xu Gongqing hated that iron can't be made into steel, "The young master said no, it's because the young master has a kind heart, but we can't be ungrateful."

"The grain that should be paid must not be less than one grain. This is the rule."

Qin Mu waved his hand aside, "Forget about Mr. Xu, it's just a bowl."

"Besides, I really don't need you to pay for food."

"Young Master, how can this be done?" Xu Gongqing refused, and said excitedly: "Then those of us in the food towns will become free eaters."

"It doesn't make sense no matter where you go."

Although he is poor, Xu Gongqing is very upright.

"It's not free food." Qin Mu waved Xu Zhaolin to sit down, "Besides growing food, I have one more thing for the people of Mangya Village to do."

Xu Zhaolin was on the side, and couldn't wait to respond: "Master, you just say it's okay, the people of Mangya Village will definitely go through fire and water."

"That's right, young master, just tell me what you want." Xu Gongqing also had a firm face.

They had already given up their hearts to Qin Mu.

The imperial court sealed Mangya Village to Qin Mu, which was a blessing for the people of Mangya Village.

"It's not a big deal." Qin Mu responded lightly: "I opened a wine shop in Chang'an City, specializing in selling wine."

"In a few days, I will build a few wineries in Mangya Village. At that time, I will need the help of the people to make wine, and the wages will be calculated separately."

"Hi." Xu Gongqing waved his hand and said indifferently, "I don't care if it's a big deal. If I help make wine, that's fine. As for wages, we definitely can't ask for it."

"You are an official, and we are food towns. How can you pay us wages instead of collecting grain?"

He said, with a firm attitude that cannot be doubted.

"That's right." Xu Zhaolin echoed from the side: "Master, if you say that, you are slapping us in the face. There are no ungrateful people in Mangya Village."

Qin Mu smiled helplessly, "Okay, the salary will be discussed later."

Seeing how resolute the father and two were, he had no choice but to agree first, but he knew the salary well.

There is something to do with home.

The more you give, the more you get.

Especially in the face of these simple villagers.

You treat them well, and they give you their hearts.

Qin Mu is in a good mood. Not only did he take over the fief and more than [-] households today, but even the winery has settled down.

Wine shop, he must put it on the agenda.

The 500 taels of gold were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Several people are chatting.

A group of uninvited guests suddenly broke into the village.

The leading man was dressed in brocade clothes, his face was full of arrogance.

Behind the man were more than [-] burly men, looking menacing.

Qin Mu sat in the corner, looking at the man who appeared suddenly, frowning slightly.

How could other people come to this impoverished Mangya Village?

"Xu Gongqing, you bastard, get out of here quickly."

Beside the man, a dog-legged man shouted towards the square.

The surrounding villagers looked at this group of people, and they were obviously throbbing. They picked up the children playing around and gathered together.

Xu Gongqing stood up, looked at a group of people not far away, and said in panic: "Oh, why is Zhao Jinquan here?"

"Old Xu, don't worry, talk slowly if you have something to say." Qin Mu cast a glance at the man, turned to look at Xu Gongqing, and said in a low voice.

"Master, I'm afraid it's too late to say now."

Xu Gongqing looked at the man, obviously very afraid.

He turned to Xue Rengui and said anxiously: "Mr. Rengui, take the young master and run away from the back of the village quickly. Today, this old man risked his life and will fight with Zhao Jinquan."

The words were full of anger.

It seems that there is a great hatred with Zhao Jinquan.

Xue Rengui was indifferent, and asked with a frown: "Old Xu, you don't have to be afraid of the young master. What is the origin of this group of people, and if you have anything to say, just say it, the young master is your master."

Xue Rengui thought: Run from the back of the village?What a joke.

Even the righteous son of the county magistrate, the son of a powerful family, can't get the slightest benefit from Qin Mu's hands, they are not afraid of anyone.

"Young Master, Second Uncle, you go first, I will lead someone to fight with them."

Xu Zhaolin roared angrily, held a hoe, and led people to surround Zhao Jinquan and his party.

"Zhaolin."

Xu Gongqing looked at Xu Zhaolin's leaving back and said anxiously.

Seeing Xu Zhaolin leave, Qin Mu turned to Xue Rengui and said, "Rengui, follow along to see, don't let Zhaolin suffer."

"Don't worry, master."

Xue Rengui responded and followed.

"Mr. Xu, don't worry, there is benevolence, those people can't make waves." Qin Mu looked at Xu Gongqing, and said with relief: "Who are these people, what kind of festival do they have with Mangya Village, why are you so afraid of them. "

"Alas..." Xu Gongqing sighed helplessly, "They are from the Zhao family of the capital. Although they are not as good as the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, they are considered a wealthy family."

"Then Zhao Jinquan is the third son of the Zhao family. They came to our village last month and wanted to accept us as tenant farmers and help us reclaim the fertile land around the village."

"I saw that he was not a good person, and he didn't want to be annexed by him and take it as a tenant farmer, so there was a conflict."

"My son's leg was broken by Zhao Jinquan himself when he clashed with them."

Hearing this, Qin Mu's eyes darkened a bit, "Didn't you report to the police?"

"Why not." Xu Gongqing lamented and said, "I took people to the Qingshan county government to sue Zhao Jinquan, but they were a nest of snakes and rats, and they almost sent us to prison."

"After that, I was afraid of causing trouble to my upper body, so I suffered from being dumb. I thought it was all about letting things go, but I didn't expect Zhao Jinquan to come again. He was trying to drive me to a dead end."

At the same time, the surrounding people all gathered around, waiting for Qin Mu and Xu Gongqing to make up their minds.

Qin Mu lowered his eyes when he heard the reason, "These things are fundamentally due to the incompetence of the court, and the land is not intended to take the five surnames and seven Wangs as a knife.

"If you want to curb land annexation, if you can't crack the hard nuts, then change your thinking, start with these small gatekeepers and fly swatters, and surround the cities with the countryside, wouldn't it be better?"

Xu Gongqing heard Qin Mu say that the imperial court was incompetent, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Young master, don't talk nonsense about these words, if people listen to them, it will be of no benefit to you."
