Zhu Nao

As soon as Zhu Nao entered the villa, he was surrounded by people.

"Villa Master!" "Villa Master!" "Villa Master, you are here!"

People scrambled to give him what they had.That was a gift they had prepared for Junao.These victims regained their land and received food from Zhu Naofa, full of gratitude.However, they are all poor people, they don't have any valuable things, and all they give are small things made by themselves.

Someone stuffed a pair of Xinna straw sandals, and someone stuffed a wooden hairpin.Wang Zhongqi also squeezed into the crowd, and stuffed a bamboo grasshopper that he wove into Zhu Nao's hand.

Zhu Nao couldn't hold so many things, so he turned around and handed it to Jing Zhe who was beside him, Jing Zhe hurriedly opened his arms to hug her.After Zhu Nao handed over all the things, he saw that he was still holding a bamboo grasshopper in his hand, after thinking about it, he put it on the topknot of Jing Zhe's head, and the bamboo threads were tied into his hair, like a hair accessory.

Jing Zhe: "..."

With both hands free, Zhu Nao walked leisurely into the farm.Jing Zhe slowed down her pace, straightened her back, and followed steadily beside her.

Zhu Nao asked all the farmers around him, "Have you all settled down?"

Everyone chattered to report to him the results of the past few days.They repaired the house, cleaned the well, cleaned the pigsty, and made some simple tools.

There were so many people talking, Zhu Nao couldn't catch a few words, but seeing the smiles on the faces of the tenants, he knew that they had a good life these days.He asked again: "Have you encountered any trouble?"

Someone said: "The owner, it's not too much trouble. I cleaned the pigsty and wanted to raise a few pigs. But..."

Although the former farmers left houses for them, they did not leave livestock for them.Now that they have settled down, they want to raise some livestock in addition to farming.But the tenants were all poor and poor, and the money and food that Zhu Nao lent them were only enough for their own expenses, not enough for raising livestock.

Zhu Nao glanced at the steward, and the steward hurriedly said: "The owner of the village has already thought about it for you. He originally wanted to wait until you are all settled down, but I didn't expect you to be so impatient. Anyone who wants to raise livestock, come to me to register soon. .”

Someone asked: "I want to raise pigs, can the owner lend me some more money to buy piglets?"

The steward said: "No need to buy, the owner will send you piglets directly, and you can also apply for some pig food. After the sow gives birth, you keep the piglets born in the first year for yourself, and the piglets born in the second and third years All the cubs must be handed over to the owner as repayment. All future output will belong to you personally."

The crowd burst into an uproar.

"Really? That's great!" "Thank you, owner! Thank you, brother in charge!"

There are also people who are worried: "But what if the pig dies and fails to wait until the second or third year to give birth? I heard that the bandits nearby are very powerful. If the pig is snatched by the bandits, how can we repay the owner?" Woolen cloth?"

The steward said: "Whoever raises them with all their heart, but has no choice but to do something, the owner of the farm will not hold them accountable."

The crowd cheered again!

Zhu Nao's move is undoubtedly a great benefit to the farmers.They can get piglets for free, and they can even claim feed.It should be noted that pigs have a huge appetite, especially sows in the reproductive period can eat nearly [-] catties of food a day, and even if farmers who have just settled down can afford piglets, they cannot afford them.And Junao directly solved all their difficulties.More importantly, Junao even took the risks they might encounter.

In addition to Zhu Nao, there are also many landlords who are willing to distribute livestock to their tenants, and then require the tenants to hand over a certain number of cubs as repayment.But on the one hand, they will not provide pig food to the tenants, and on the other hand, they will not exempt the tenants from liability.If the tenants can raise the pigs well, everyone will be happy.In case of an accident and the pig died of illness, the landlord would not suffer a loss, and still required the tenants to hand over the piglets.As a result, the tenants worked hard to raise the livestock, but in the end they had nothing to gain, and they still owed the landlord a huge debt, which was really miserable.

While giving favors to the field guests, Zhu Nao did not lose money.Sows can give birth from the second year, and can give birth to more than ten or twenty piglets a year, which can last for six or seven years.The children born in the first year are left to the tenants in order to make them rich as soon as possible.In the next three years, he can bring back dozens of piglets. Even if some people may raise the pigs to death, there is still a surplus if they are shared equally.Because the sows will have several years of childbearing age, the farmers will not give up feeding them because they have to hand them over to the landlord.

Others wanted to raise livestock such as poultry, cattle and sheep, and hurried to the steward to ask for details.

After talking about the livestock, Zhu Nao asked again, "Are there any other difficulties?"

Someone said: "The owner, I have too little land. I only have one person now, which is enough for food, but in a few years I will have a family and have children, so the land will not be enough. Can I rent a few more mu of land?"

As soon as this remark came out, many people responded, and they all had the same idea.

Most of the refugees recruited by Yin Junao are displaced refugees, many of whom are alone.When renting land, it is distributed according to the population, and the land rented by those widows is less.It is enough to support themselves, but once they are stable, how many people don't want to start a family?After getting married and having children, there are still only a few acres of Susukida, which is indeed not enough for food.

The steward immediately said: "Every field in the village has been allocated, how can there be more fields for you to rent?" As he said this, he secretly despised the greediness of these tenants in his heart.When signing the lease a few days ago, one and two were very grateful.It's only been a few days, and I'm not satisfied anymore.

But Zhu Nao said: "I've thought about this for a long time. When I first recruited, there were too many people who came to apply, and they were all in a difficult situation. I couldn't bear to ignore it, so I recruited more, and the fields allocated to each of you will be more Less. But I see that there are a lot of barren fields around here, and it happens to be the slack season, so I think everyone can plow those lands together and expand the farm, so that each person can share more land."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was surprised.

It is naturally against the law to expand the fields at will.It's just that the current land is still demarcated and allocated decades ago. The court has neglected its duties, and the officials are lazy and have never kept pace with the times.It is common for the people to change the margins of the fields and expand the land when the land is not enough to use due to the increase in population.Landlords also abound in forcible occupation and mergers, and the management of cultivated land is becoming more and more chaotic.A bad debt, no one wants to take care of it.Therefore, if Zhu Nao wanted to expand the cultivation and use some money to manage the officials well, he would not be embarrassed by the government.

And there are indeed many barren fields nearby.Some are never cultivated, and some are abandoned fields.Due to the rampant banditry, the farm was still able to gather tenants to build fortifications to resist the invasion, but the self-cultivating farmers were alone, overwhelmed by the disturbance, unable to resist, or were slaughtered, or abandoned their fields and fled. Many good lands were left uncultivated.

A farmer doubted, "Master, do you really want to expand the land?"

Zhu Nao said: "Now is the slack season for farming, so hurry up and start farming, and you can start farming next spring."

The farmers looked at each other.Of course they are willing to cultivate a few more acres of land, but expanding the farm will take a lot of work.The ditches that originally defended the farm had to be filled in, the fences had to be dismantled and rebuilt, water conservancy repairs, and houses had to be built.Now that they have just moved here, they already have a lot of things to do, so how can they have so much time and manpower to expand the land?

Wang Bozheng said: "Vendor Master, it's not that we are lazy, it's just that it's already November, and we really can't catch up before spring next year."

Zhu Nao waved his hands nonchalantly: "You just do it first. Do as much as you can, and strive for it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's a pity that a large piece of fertile land will be left unused."

When he said this, no one had much to say.It is also for their benefit to expand the fields, so what is there to shirk?

At this time, Shi San also came.

He saw a large group of people on the ridge from a distance, and was slightly taken aback.In the past, there were more than a dozen families in the farm, and there were about ten people in each family. There were not many young and middle-aged men, and many of them were old and weak, women and children.But now the number of new tenants recruited by Zhu Nao is more than before, and there are only a few of them with their families. As a result, there are twice as many young men as before!If there are more men, labor will naturally win.

Realizing this, Shi San was overjoyed immediately, squeezed his way into the crowd, and shouted: "Master!"

Seeing him in a hurry, Zhu Nao asked, "What happened?"

Shi Sandao: "I heard that Changming Village attacked Longcheng Mountain and captured all the bandits in Longcheng Mountain!"

He thought it was a big deal, but Zhu Nao was very calm: "Yes. What's wrong?"

Shi San: "..."

Jun Nao's calmness made him dazed for a while, and he suspected that Jun Nao didn't understand what he was saying at all.He quickly recovered, and hurriedly suggested: "The owner, it is the slack season, we should quickly deepen the trenches, build high walls, rebuild the houses, and connect the houses. It is best to build another high platform so that we can wait and see. Four weeks. When bandits come to rob again, we will be able to resist."

After hearing his description, Zhu Nao asked, "You want to build a Wubao?"

Shi San nodded repeatedly.There are one or two hundred people in their farm, even if they can't build a large dock, they can imitate its standard and build small fortifications.When this place was still Wangjiazhuang, the owner of Wangzhuang once thought of building high walls and building towers. However, it was the busy farming season at that time, and the farmers had no time and insufficient manpower.After the busy farming season passed, the farmers had already died and fled, and it was impossible to repair it.

Zhu Nao said: "Wubao will not be available for the time being. I have informed everyone to reclaim the surrounding barren fields as soon as possible to expand the scale of the farm."

Shi San: "..."

Shi San: "..."

"Cultivation of wasteland??" Shi San was so excited that he broke his voice loudly, "I didn't build a high wall to protect myself, but went to reclaim wasteland?! Landlord, are you crazy???"

Cheng Jingzhe shook his head unhappily, and the whiskers of the bamboo grasshopper on top of his head shook along with it: "How did you talk to the young master?"

Shi San stomped his feet anxiously, hoping that someone would stand up and say a few words for him, but most of the people around him were new tenants who didn't know the situation here, and they all looked at a loss.

"If you don't stop the bandits, you will plant as much as you want for others, and in the end the bandits will rob you!" Shi San said firmly, "If you want to survive in this place, you must build high walls and dig deep trenches!"

It's a pity that no matter how tough he is, no one listens to him.

Zhu Nao wrote lightly: "I will give some money to the cottage, and ask them to show their respect. You just need to farm the land well, don't worry."

The tenants rejoiced, but Shi San was dumbfounded.Zhu Nao had made up his mind and stopped entangled with this topic with him, and was surrounded by tenants to visit their new house.

Shi San looked at the people going away, his heart that had just warmed up immediately became completely cold.He thought to himself: Master Zhu and those tenants who have just arrived are still naive after all, they don't know how greedy and hateful the bandits are.There is a saying that the king of Hades wants people to die at the third watch, who dares to keep them until the fifth watch?It seemed to him, Shi San, that he was doomed to suffer in this life, and there would be no day for him to turn around.

Ugh……

Ugh!

……

After that, the tenants really started to expand their fields.Every morning, the men go out with shovels and hoes, first to fill up the trenches, and then to clear the vegetation and weeds.

Shi San did not join the ranks of expansion.Firstly, he took care of his wife and couldn’t leave, and secondly, he didn’t approve of Zhu Nao’s strategy at all. He saw that instead of deepening the trench, he was going to fill it with soil, and he was dizzy with anger. Participation helped.He can only see what he can't see, and he can count on every day.

In a few days, the steward brought a doctor invited by Zhu Nao to the farm to treat the tenants.

There are quite a few tenants who are injured or sick. After all, they suffered a disaster and had to flee for several months. It is inevitable that there will be an injury here and a sickness there.However, Shi San's wife Zhou was the most seriously ill.

The doctor took Zhou's pulse, Shi San hurriedly asked: "Doctor, how is my wife's illness?"

The doctor said: "This disease happened during confinement, it shouldn't be so serious. I think it's because you still didn't pay attention to it after getting sick, and it finally got to where it is today."

Shi San was speechless.It's not that they don't pay attention, it's because of life.At that time bandits invaded all day long, and the men went to dig trenches to resist the bandits. There was no one to do a lot of field work, so the women had to help.Just after giving birth, Mrs. Zhou hurried to work in the field before finishing her confinement, and then she fell ill.

The doctor said: "If you want to cure your illness, you must rest well. Before you recover from the illness, you must not suffer any more cold and hard work. I will prescribe some medicines for you, three meals a day, and take it for a month first."

Lying on the bed, Zhou coughed a few times and asked softly, "Doctor, how much is the medicine?"

Before Shi San and the doctor could speak, the steward said: "You just take care of the treatment, and the owner of the medical bank will pay in advance. It's never too late to pay back when you have enough money."

The couple were both surprised and moved.

The doctor left after prescribing the medicine, and Shi San sat by the bed and held his wife's hand.Zhou said: "The dealer is a good man."

Shi San smiled wryly, "He's a good guy. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to repay him."

Zhou was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Shi San shook his head.He was afraid that his wife would be worried, so he did not tell his wife about Jun Nao's request to fill in the trench and expand the farm.He covered Zhou with the quilt, sighed secretly, and went out to fetch water.

In the evening, the Wang family brothers came back carrying farm tools and dug a basket of wild vegetables for Shi San.

After working for a whole day, Wang Zhongqi was so hot that he was dripping with sweat.He wiped off his sweat and asked, "Brother Shi, I heard that the doctor is here today, and my sister-in-law's illness may be cured?"

Shi San nodded, and said, "The doctor prescribed some medicines for you to take first."

Wang Zhongqi smiled and said, "That's great. I hope my sister-in-law will get better soon, and Brother Shi can come and help us with our work. There are so many things to do, we can't finish them all."

Shi San looked at the innocent smiling face of the young man, and was speechless again.

……

Early the next morning, after Lu Qiuyu and Wang Fengshou got up, they each got a bowl of rice porridge and sat under the tree to eat.

Lu Qiuyu drank the last mouthful of rice porridge, stuck out his tongue and licked the inside and outside of the pottery bowl several times, and sighed with satisfaction: "This is really a fairy day!"

When they were under Boss Zhang, apart from looting everywhere, they picked wild fruits and hunted wild animals in the mountains.Life is very leisurely, but it is also very bitter. Food is not easy to obtain, and it is easy to get some. It is Zhang Boss and others who eat first, and they have the rest.It is normal for them to not be able to eat for two or three days.

Since coming to Changming Village, although Changming Village is not very rich, people here have something to eat every day, which is a great blessing for Wang Fengshou and Lu Qiuyu.In addition, in Changming Village, their lives are not at all idle.Yu Changming cultivated a few acres of fields on the mountain. They have to do farm work every day. Although winter is not as busy as autumn, they still have to collect firewood, turn over the soil and pick up manure for planting in the next spring.These are the jobs that Lu Qiuyu and Wang Fengshou used to do. They used to feel bored when they did it at home, but now they have the opportunity to do such a job again.

Just after breakfast, I heard someone ringing a bell, which was the signal to gather on the mountain.Lu Qiuyu and Wang Fengshou glanced at each other, put down their bowls and went to gather halfway up the mountain.

Many people have gathered on the mountainside, including Yu Changming.

Yu Changming personally ordered dozens of people, and ordered: "Go to the warehouse and get shovels, hoes and other agricultural tools, and come down the mountain with me. The rest of you should leave and go do your own business."

Lu Qiuyu was also among those selected by Yu Changming.He was at a loss. Seeing the dozens of people walking towards the warehouse, he hurriedly chased after them and asked, "Master, where are we going?"

Yu Changming said: "Go to the farm at the foot of Longcheng Mountain."

Lu Qiuyu was startled immediately: "Ah, ah?"

Although Yu Changming asked them to take farm tools, he instinctively thought that Yu Changming was going to take them to rob farmers.After all, weapons were scarce. When they followed Boss Zhang, they used to rob everywhere with hoes and sickles.

Lu Qiuyu's face immediately became mournful.He doesn't like robbing at all, he would rather pick dung in the fields than rob.In the past, when Boss Zhang took them to plunder farmers, because he was not happy, he always procrastinated and hid at the back. As a result, Boss Zhang hated him more and more, and often beat and kicked him.He looked at Yu Changming's tall and straight back, hesitated again and again, chased after him and asked, "Master, can I not go?"

Yu Changming glanced at him inexplicably.Lu Qiuyu immediately shrank his neck.

Yu Changming said: "Don't go? If you don't go, who will feed you?"

Lu Qiuyu's mouth felt bitter when he thought of the rice cereal he drank in the morning.If it was Boss Zhang at this time, he would definitely not dare to say a second sentence, otherwise what awaited him would be punches and kicks.But after staying in Changming Village for the past few days, he found that Yu Changming didn't like beating people very much, so he dared to persuade him a little more: "Even if we go, we won't be able to grab anything. That farm has long been poor and useless. "

"..." Yu Changming was speechless, "Who told you we were going to grab things?"

Lu Qiuyu was stunned: "Huh?"

Yu Changming said coldly: "Someone pays us and asks us to help with the work. Let's make money, understand?"

Lu Qiuyu: "..."

Yu Changming walked out for a while and found that the guy hadn't followed him. He turned his head and took a look, only to see Lu Qiuyu standing dumbfounded, as if his soul had come out of his body.Yu Changming frowned and warned: "If you dare to be rude to the villagers, I will never forgive you."

Lu Qiuyu: "..."

Lu Qiuyu: "..."

Lu Qiuyu: "..."

What kind of fairy place is this Changming Village? !

The crowd had walked tens of meters away, and Lu Qiuyu finally returned to his soul, with a pleasant smile on his face.He spread his legs and chased forward: "The village master, the village master, wait for me!"
