Shuzi face slap system

Early the next morning, Hua Cheng packed up his things and went to the northwest farm with Jiang Hongzhi and the Chu family.

When he arrived at the farm, the steward was already waiting here. As soon as he got off the carriage and saw the barren scene of the farm, Jiang Hongzhi frowned and turned around apologetically, "Mother, Cheng Hua, I have wronged you."

"What did San'er say?" Mrs. Chu smiled gratifiedly, "Mother is already very happy to be able to leave that place, and I don't want anything else."

"Where is the young master going, I will go with you." Hua Cheng grinned and said, "It doesn't matter if the environment is good or not, anyway, it's not so good to see you in the Hou Mansion."

Jiang Hongzhi put his arms around Hua Cheng's waist lightly, and nodded with a smile: "That's right. Manager, I'm sorry to trouble you."

The steward greeted the people to unload their luggage, with an apologetic smile on his face: "The third young master speaks seriously, and I am really wronged for letting you stay here. The little one has already cleaned the three upper rooms for you. Everything is ready, you can rest assured to move in.”

"Three rooms?" One of Jiang Hong raised his eyebrows and hugged Hua Cheng's waist tightly, "Two rooms are enough."

"Yes, yes," the steward said with a sneer, "you are so small and blind. I will prepare two upper rooms for you."

"En." Jiang Hongzhi nodded, and he glanced at the farm. Because there were no harvests for many years, the farm looked very dilapidated, and the servants who came and went were probably dismissed a lot. The number of people was pitifully small, and the whole farm was lifeless. , not popular, "You call everyone in the manor to the lobby later, no matter what kind of work they do, they have to go there, no one is missing, even if they are seriously ill, they have to be carried by me!"

"Yes. I will obey the young master's order."

After a brief grooming, Jiang Hongzhi waited on Mrs. Chu to rest, and then dragged Hua Cheng to the lobby.At this time, the steward had already called everyone to the lobby, and thoughtfully gave Jiang Hongzhi a roster.

Jiang Hongzhi flipped through the roster casually, threw it to Hua Cheng and said, "Pick the ones you don't like, and kick them out of the village."

Hua Cheng was taken aback, understood the meaning in his eyes, smiled and unfolded the roster, pausing every time he read a name, looking at the expressions of the people being read, and giving priority to those who were sweating nervously. It is dequeued, and the rest are kept temporarily.

After he finished reading this passage, there were only a few people left who did not come out.He handed the roster back to Jiang Hongzhidao: "Master, the selection is done."

Jiang Hongzhi looked at the relieved appearance of the people who came out, and looked around sharply, and there was roughly a candidate.He closed the roster with a snap, and named a few people: "You, you... and you, you all..." He made a gesture of waving his hand, which frightened the hearts of those people, and then said , "Leave them all. The rest of the people wait, pack up and leave. The farm does not support people who don't work."

With this order, everyone in the audience was shocked and took a deep breath.

The steward counted the people who were left behind, and there were only ten people in total. How should these ten people work?

"Third young master, there are too few people left here, and besides, among these people..." the manager hesitated, alluding to the dismissed person.Most of the people Jiang Hongzhi wants to dismiss are people with some power in the farm. Although these people usually do nothing but support others, but when Jiang Hongzhi first arrived, he dismissed them as a way to show his power, which is easy to offend others.

Jiang Hongzhi snorted coldly and said: "There are a few people here who are sincerely working for the farm. You know in your heart that the farm has had no harvest in recent years. Dare to ask what you have done! Don't think you can hide it from me , Since I chose to come here, I must have already made sufficient preparations. I thought I was the new master, and it was too late to hide it from me! Those who are in charge, kick these people out today!"

The steward's cold sweat broke out, and he felt numbness in his back. Nine times out of ten, he was stared at by those whose interests had been harmed.

Jiang Hongzhi's sudden selection made people defenseless, and when he came to his senses, there were only a dozen people left in the farm.

Jiang Hongzhi took the roster, asked them their names carefully, and then rearranged their jobs according to their characteristics, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.

After that, he went to the market with the steward, bought a few nimble slaves, and arranged new jobs.

After finishing these, it was evening.Since the head chef had been dismissed, Hua Cheng had to cook himself and cooked a simple meal for Jiang Hongzhi and the servants, which immediately moved the servants who were lucky enough to stay and wept bitterly.

As a master, Jiang Hong, in order to appease the hearts of the people, also comforted the servants with a few symbolic words, subduing their hearts into obedience.

Hua Cheng fetched water to wash Jiang Hongzhi's face, brought him some food, and after serving him the dishes, he couldn't help but asked with doubts: "Master, you dismissed so many people at once, aren't you afraid of offending them?"

"Who dares to do anything to me," Jiang Hongzhi put a piece of meat into Hua Cheng's bowl, "The most they can do is go to Jiang Jiande and sue me, but Jiang Jiande is annoying right now, they will only make Jiang Jiande unhappy by suing .”

"Master, I randomized those who were dismissed, but what about you, how do you know there is something wrong with them?" Hua Cheng asked curiously.He judged by the reaction of those people at that time. If he was an honest person, he would feel relieved to be fired and find another way out. But if he was a bit tricky, he would definitely not want to be fired and would like to stay here. Enjoy Qingfu, steal a little fishy.

"If I didn't inquire about the news first, how dare I take the risk to come here." Jiang Hongzhi picked up a green vegetable and said, "Did you see that this vegetable is still fresh, if the farm is so poor that there is no money, you can eat so much Fresh vegetables?"

Hua Cheng nodded. He discovered these problems when he went to the dining room today. Although it seemed that there was nothing meaty in the dining room, the dishes were all fresh.

"The farm has had no harvest for many years. Part of it is due to natural causes, and the other part is due to man-made reasons." Jiang Hongzhi took a bite and said, "The manager is an honest man, but the people under him are not honest. Public funds and tax evasion have been done a lot, but they are all hidden from the manager." He deliberately ignored Hua Cheng's question, the reason why he knew these backgrounds was because he had carefully investigated them before his resurrection.

"If public funds can be used, then at least the farm must produce something, otherwise where would the money come from?" Hua Cheng was curious.

"You don't know that. There are no crops in the farm, but it doesn't mean that there are no crops. It's just that the seeds that are scattered every year will not bear fruit, and instead become dry stalks with no practical value. Most people don't know the value of dry stalks, so they discard them. No need, but if you have some skills and connections, you will know that there are businessmen who specialize in collecting this kind of dry stalks. Therefore, they can make a small profit by selling the dry stalks under the pretext of discarding them, and the managers don’t care much. Know."

"I see," Hua Cheng nodded and said, "What's the natural reason for the failure?"

"It's very simple, the soil is not suitable." Jiang Hongzhi said, "Each crop has its own soil suitable for growth. Once a certain element in the soil is scarce or the soil is loose, it will affect the growth of the crop. The terrain here is low-lying, and there are Due to the heavy rain, the nutrients in the soil were washed away by the rain, and a lot of nutrients have been lost. In addition, the soil is loose, and it is difficult for crops to grow. Even if they grow, they become withered yellow stalks. Therefore, if we want to use this farm, we have to replace crops Don’t worry, I’ve already looked for new crops before I came here, but I don’t have the money to buy them right now, so I can only dismiss those people first, save a sum of money, and buy them after a while after preparing the money.”

Hua Cheng had a bitter face: "How do you prepare so much money in a short period of time?"

"Did you forget Zhiyunfang?"

Hua Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.That's right, Jiang Hongzhi's painting level is superb, as long as he draws complicated patterns and sells them to Zhiyunfang, he can get a high price.

"It's late tonight. I'll draw patterns tomorrow morning and sell them to Zhiyunfang. When I have money, I'll rearrange and manage the farm." Jiang Hongzhi took Hua Cheng's hand and said deeply, "Hua Cheng Cheng, before the imperial examination comes, I must develop this farm into a good shape. When I have the foundation, I am not afraid that I will not be able to compete with Jiang Jiande."

There are still four years left in the imperial examination, which is enough for Jiang Hongzhi to develop the farm.Hua Cheng smiled knowingly, held Jiang Hongzhi's hand instead, and nodded.

Four years is enough for Jiang Hongzhi to plump up his wings.

Hua Cheng couldn't wait until four years later.
