I don't know how many people will compete with him, at least there is one eldest son.

Until now, he didn't know how many brothers and sisters he had. He thought it was ridiculous.

But he just shook his head. He clearly knew that only he had prepared in advance to stay awake enough. He felt that the plot was too clichéd, but other people with tokens were not necessarily the same. To be lost here for a long time, it is impossible to wake up so quickly.

Didn't go anywhere. Just wandered around. Where's my carriage?

Ye Chen asked plainly.

He Da, how many times have I told you? You must be calm when you encounter important events. Look at you, how long has the young master been away? You are in such a hurry.

The skinny guy lectures the tall guy.

Calm down with a hammer, the young master is everything to us. You don't have the young master, it's bullshit. Don't use your tricks to teach me.

The two were once again fighting for favor, and Ye Chen understood it instantly.

The nurse was born in poverty, an illiterate big-footed daughter-in-law, except for her pretty face, broad shoulders, and plenty of milk, she was really useless in the eyes of a rich man like him, so why did she give him a partner who grew up together? name.

He disliked the awkward name, so he decided to change it to He Da.

For this matter, the nanny and his wife asked He Da to kowtow to him several times to express their gratitude.

In their view, no matter whether he is a son of a concubine who can inherit the family business or not, he is much better than their bitter haha. It is their family's expectation that he can keep He Da by his side, and it is worth doing for them. give it all.

Of course he was very kind to this family, He Da became his constant lackey, and the two nurses became the actual managers and labor leaders of his first farm.

What broke all this was the joining of this skinny boy. He claimed to be an orphan, but in fact he was already a small leader of the beggar gang in the county.

After this kid was reused by Ye Chen's Yin Xiaogong, he would recruit some people from the beggar gang from time to time. Of course, these people all follow his lead.

There are too many people, and they originally belonged to two small groups, which will definitely cause some friction.

It's just that his predecessor handled it too badly, and he was imitating his old man's tricks of controlling the balance a long time ago.

That's why these two people who are loyal to him are like fire and water. Whenever they meet, they will fight, most of the time it's just a verbal quarrel.

Come here, both of you.

Ye Chen is obviously very dissatisfied with these two scumbags. How can such a cowardly guy have a strong external combat power? If he doesn't restrain each other, it will already make people feel good. He must reverse all this.

Yes, my son.

The two answered almost in unison, which made Ye Chen quite satisfied. It showed that no matter how they fought, they still centered on him as the master. one use.

The tall one stood with his head bowed. He showed full respect to Ye Chen, a not-so-tall yin boy. His thin waist was straight, and he learned what he could learn from the bosses. group.

My ancestor told me in a dream that if I come in this direction today, I will definitely meet the noble person in my life. At first I didn't want to understand what the so-called noble person is. But I saw three night wolves fighting against the night tiger over there The three night wolves alone would definitely not be able to fight the night tiger, but the three teamed up slowly gained the upper hand, and later expelled the injured night tiger. This made me realize what my ancestor Tuo Meng meant. Is it exactly three people? I have decided, I will become brothers of the opposite sex with you today, and we will live and die together, share wealth and honor, and face the enemy together. Are you willing?

This reason was of course fabricated by him.

The thin guy's eyes immediately lit up.

I check Xingjia's one hundred willingness.

The taller one also raised his head,

A pair of eyeballs bigger than a bull's eye had protruded a long time ago, looking at his little master in disbelief.

His mother taught him that this is the nobleman of his family, the young master of the family, and Master Yin is the old master.

When he was young, he asked more than once whether he should be loyal to the young master or the old master. His mother couldn't answer why, but when he grew up, he only had eyes for the young master. He also lost the position of the old master. In order not to make himself look awkward, he often avoided the old master and rarely met him face to face.

Young master, I am willing too.

Neither of them made those fluffy evasions, and in fact it was not their turn to evade them. What status did they have? It's an out-and-out servant. The master wants to make obeisance to them and become friends of eight worshippers, which is something they can't expect even if their ancestral graves are smoking, so how can they say no.

Happy! Hurry up and set up an incense table, and let the vast and boundless black mountains and black waters in front of you witness our brotherhood. The earth is not old, the sky is not barren, and our brotherhood will remain unchanged.

He only needs verbal instructions here, and the other two naturally have two people rushing to complete it. This time it is rare that there is no fighting or bickering.

Ye Chen's goal is very simple, it is to completely twist his existing team into one rope, so as not to separate them, so that they can use their strength in one place and minimize internal consumption.

After worshiping the heaven and the earth, the young master Yin transformed by Ye Chen naturally became the eldest brother among the three.

In fact, He Da was born two months earlier than him, but he deliberately falsely reported his age, and because the time between the two of them was too short, and there was no room for the thin and small Cha Xingjia to operate, he could only report honestly. After the date of birth, he was second to the third brother.

Second brother, third brother, you must call me big brother when there are no outsiders around.

Ye Chen put his arms around the shoulders of the two and said, during the process he also put their hands together, making the three of them form a circle.

Although the two of them had some differences at first, they were soon infected by his emotions, and instantly eliminated the estrangement invisible.

Big brother, third brother.

Big Brother, Second Brother.

okay!

In the future, no matter how fierce the opponent is, it will definitely be defeated by our three brothers working together!

The carriage is very simple, and the cart is pulled by an old nauseous horse, which is not strong enough even for the plowing field, and it is only used for waste utilization.

There is no lining in the carriage, only two wooden stools as wide as the carriage are placed as seats, and Ye Chen is currently sitting on one of them.

He Da and Cha Xing's family didn't get in the carriage, one of them guarded one side of the carriage, and He Da held the whip of the carriage.

They were going to his only property, that is, the farm, which was also his foothold. Usually he rarely went to the old house, which was his duty as an adult bastard.

The road was as desolate as it could be. It was not until he reached the outskirts of the farm that he could see some taller trees and some slightly green plants. He knew that those were the main crops he planted in this farm.

This thing is somewhat similar to the barley on the earth, also known as oats, which is used to feed livestock, but this side is planted as a staple food, and the yield is actually lower than that side.

Fortunately, this thing depends on drought and is resistant to salt and alkali. As long as it can grow seedlings, there will be some harvests.

Here we can only adopt the strategy of wide planting and low harvest, so his predecessor did not stop Cha Xing's family from recruiting people from the beggar gang in the county. some surplus labor value.

One year, whether it is long or short, if you want to succeed in seizing the heir, it is obviously not feasible to use the strategy of accumulating food and slowly becoming king, but his current strength is not strong, so if you want to win, you must Can only take unconventional roads.

This is an adobe house, which is the largest and tallest building in the central residential area of ​​the farm. This must be the place where his master lives.

Apart from three or five dark and skinny maids, the two people who often come and go are the couple who are sworn brothers with him and the nanny couple.

Nurse, how much surplus food does the village have this year?

As soon as he came back, he summoned the nanny who was still charming. She was a tall and healthy woman. After years of support, she had somewhat maintained her youthful appearance, and she looked much more eye-catching than those black and thin girls.

Master Hui, there is still 60% of the grain left in the granary, so there is no problem in making it through to this year's autumn harvest.

The nanny obviously didn't know that he was asking for specific figures, and thought he was worried that there would be another famine this year.

How much is sixty percent?

Ye Chen frowned and asked, he was really upset and irritable, his predecessor was really stupid, he didn't have the most basic data, and he completely left it to a few people he trusted to take care of.

It looks about six thousand catties.

The healthy woman answered truthfully.

There are exactly one hundred people in our village right now?

Ye Chen frowned and asked again, this amount of food is really too little, it is completely different from the society he has experienced, it is only 60 catties of food per person, and there are still three full months until the autumn harvest.

That is to say, each person only has 20 catties of grain to eat every month, and the average is less than 8 taels of grain per day.

The servants here eat two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. They don't eat at noon, and they usually work in the fields.

With this little food, he wanted to recruit more people from the beggar team in the county, but there was no way to do it.

He sort of understood what the nanny meant by saying that it would be okay to survive until the autumn harvest.

He was a little puzzled why she answered 60% of grain instead of 6,000 catties of grain.

Isn't the year here twelve months? Or is it possible to live with only the remaining 40% of food for the other nine months?

He found it incredible.

Yes, exactly one hundred people. Sixty of them are tenants assigned to you by the lord, and the other forty are vagrants and beggars you recruited from the city.

Although the nanny has not been enlightened in reading, she is still familiar with these simple calculations, otherwise she would not be able to be the manager.

Is there any seed food left for next year?

Ye Chen's young master had to ask about every detail.

It was reserved earlier. A total of 1,000 catties of full-grain grains were selected by me. I will dry them separately and store them in separate warehouses. They will be guarded by special personnel. You don't have to worry about this, son.

The nanny answered everything in detail, she felt a little nervous today, and felt that the son who was raised by her was a little different today.

One thousand catties of grain can only be exchanged for ten thousand catties of grain, which is really low production level.

You are going to unseal the seed granary, and then assign people to open up wasteland. I am going to open up the lower open land in the north to plant a season of grain.

Ye Chen made a decisive decision. If he wants to succeed in the battle for heir apparent, he must have enough people. If he wants to feed more people, he must have enough food.

Food is not produced out of thin air, it has to be sown honestly.

It’s okay not to sow seeds, so the only way to go is to rob. Everyone is poor and has no currency.

He believed that he, a guy with the blood of a technology-growing nation, would not be worse than anyone else.

Young master, you can't. It's already past the season of ear seedlings, and the wheat seedlings in the field are already a bunch high. Sowing seeds now is a waste of grain.

The nanny strongly objected, and she finally found out where the tension in facing the young master came from today.

Just do as I tell you, there must be nothing wrong.

Ye Chen didn't want to argue with him, he didn't want to try to convince her with theories beyond her understanding, he just had to show enough determination, he believed that she would not disobey him.

well!

The healthy woman was stupid and couldn't say more words of persuasion, so she sighed and prepared to leave.

Nurse called your man to see me by the way.

Before she turned the corner of the door of the adobe house, he gave instructions, but the healthy woman didn't answer, but he knew she would do it.

She really couldn't figure out why the young master would arrange such an unnatural thing when he went out for a trip. She was afraid that he would waste a thousand catties of grain that had been prepared in advance.

This is a rule set by their old master, they must prepare the next year's grain one year in advance to prepare for the famine year.

However, Ye Chen thinks that this method is not very advisable. In fact, it is using old grains to grow grains. According to the earth, the activity is not the highest, which may affect the yield.

However, he can't control these anymore, he has only been here for a year, and he doesn't know what it will evolve into in the future.

Soon a muscular middle-aged man rushed in quickly.

Young master, I heard from my wife that you plan to open up wasteland and replant some food.

Yes. I just want you to accompany He Da and Cha Xing's family to organize people to level the ground as soon as possible.

Ye Chen answered in the affirmative, and assigned work by the way.

My lord, you can't do it. It's already past the season of nectar. The wasteland is good, but we don't have enough water to irrigate it.

He is a good hand at work, especially when it comes to farm work, he will not be like a nanny who doesn't know where to persuade Ye Chen to give up the idea of ​​opening up wasteland.

Well, you don't have to worry about this. I won't use a drop of water from the reservoir in the village to irrigate that wasteland.

Ye Chen knew what this guy was thinking at a glance.
