The Reborn Wife is Farming

"Didn't Ma Dafu only have two sons, one named Ma Ji and one named Ma Yi." Mu Yangling chose the head of the village, so she naturally wanted to investigate, as she had met all the people in the two heads' families.

"Back to your mother, Ma Dafu has three sons, one daughter, who was named according to the auspicious wishes. It is said that his second son was sold out during the famine seven or eight years ago, and he only came back at the beginning of the year. When I came back, I walked around the nearby hills, and then persuaded the heads of the villages on both sides to open up barren hills to plant fruit trees." Wang Guanshi explained: "I heard that Zhuangtou Tianjiu of the second farm wanted to marry his little girl Ma Xiang is a daughter-in-law."

Mu Yangling looked at Guanshi Wang for a while, then nodded after a long time and said: "I know about this, you can go down."

"yes."

Lichun served tea to Mu Yangling, "Mother, it's not worth getting angry with them, they don't know the rules and let Zhu Liang teach them."

"Zhu Liang is in charge of two workshops now, how can I find time to manage them?" Mu Yangling sighed, "I used to think that they were all servants, and there were two kinds of people who were used to it and those who were not used to it, but now It seems that there is a big difference, and the difference between those who have been trained and those who have not been trained is also too big."

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Li Chun stepped forward to rub her forehead. Mu Yangling leaned on the chair with his eyes closed and said, "Ma Xiang is so ambitious that he dared to act under the banner of the palace. If we hadn't left someone on this mountain I'm afraid he forced the tenants to open up the mountain and we don't know. Ma Dafu and Tian Jiu are the head of the village. Although they are honest, they don't know how to do things. The steward is a little better than them, at least he knows to bow his head and speak respectfully in front of me, the master will not speak or interrupt, but he will still trip others for his own self-interest."

Mu Yangling's face was a little cold, "I know that people have desires and selfishness, and I don't stop them from intrigue, but I won't allow it to harm the interests of the palace because of intrigue."

Li Chun paused and said: "Madam, why don't you write a letter back to the capital and ask them to send some stewards and Zhuangtou over?"

"No, they came all the way from the capital, not to mention whether they would like to be separated from their flesh and blood family members. If they live in the farm, they are considered foreigners. Ma Dafu and Tian Jiu can isolate them with a word. What's more, these two farms It’s not big, there’s no need to waste talents, send someone back to fetch Uncle Liu, when he was in the capital, he followed Zhu Liang as the deputy steward, he knows everything about the village, let him teach him.”

Li Chun was startled, "Uncle Liu will cause trouble when he drinks, so I'm afraid he has no scruples when he is sent to the farm."

Uncle Liu is the uncle of Fei Bai and Shi Jian. He is capable, but he can't control his mouth. He is always addicted to alcohol and makes trouble when he drinks. Fei Bai and Shi Jian were sent to serve Qi Xiuyuan because his family was troubled. But they are also very sensible because of this, Qi Xiuyuan is loyal, and later Fei Bai was sent by Qi Xiuyuan to serve Qi Haoran, and Uncle Liu followed Qi Haoran to do some small work.

Now Shi Jian is the imperial guard of the fourth rank, and Fei Bai is also the number one person around Qi Haoran. Among the accompanying guards, he is also a fourth-rank guard now, and he will make more military achievements by following Qi Haoran's side. After two years, when Xiaolou grows up, he will be released as an official.

Therefore, although Uncle Liu has many problems, he still lives a good life in the palace. We all know that he is drinking and making mistakes, so the mansion hardly assigns him important errands. He usually runs errands and does some light work.

"It's not to let him stay in the farm all the time, but to train him for a while. He's not bad at all. Let Gu Yu talk to him later and give him some advice."

Gu Yu married Fei Bai a few years ago. She is Uncle Liu's nephew and daughter-in-law. It's not difficult to give a word of advice. Li Chun nodded, "Then I'll talk to Gu Yu later."

Mu Yangling nodded, seeing Lichun smiling and about to retreat, he held her hand and said, "You can talk to me again."

Li Chun laughed and said, "What is your empress going to say?"

"Tell me when you are willing to get married." Mu Yangling took her hand and said, "Look, Gu Yu is already married. When will you wait? It doesn't matter whether it's from the mansion or outside, whoever has you see Anyone who is eligible can tell me, as long as he is willing, I'll make a kiss for you, okay?"

"I don't want to marry, I just want to follow the princess," Li Chun bowed his head and said, "When I get married, I also serve my husband. If I serve well, I may not be praised, but if I do not serve well, I will definitely complain. In this case, I might as well stay by my mother's side. When I am too old to work, I will ask for the grace of my mother, and the mansion will always give me old age and die."

This kind of noble family will give decent support to the mother who is close to her, and the princess values ​​love and righteousness. Lichun believes that even if she makes a mistake in the future, as long as the bottom line of the princess is not touched, the princess will arrange her funeral Yes, so she has very little to fear.

Seeing that the concubine wanted to persuade her again, Li Chun smiled and said: "Madam, Ma Dafu is still waiting outside, even if you want to give him a bad start, it's not good to keep him waiting, I'll call him in."

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Mu Yangling nodded in agreement.

Ma Dafu came in tremblingly, he waited outside for a long time, the maids and servants came in and out carrying things, they walked past him in an orderly manner as if they didn't see him, without making any loud noise in the middle, He even walked quietly without making a sound. Thinking of his son's rudeness just now, he became more and more flustered, and he was sweating profusely when he came in.

Mu Yangling drank a cup of tea, then raised his head and asked, "I heard that you want to open mountains to plant fruit trees?"

The sweat on Ma Dafu's forehead slid down his cheeks, and it took him a long time to utter a word, "Yes."

Mu Yangling asked lightly: "Has the construction started?"

"No, no," Ma Dafu shook his head repeatedly, "I just started counting tenants..."

"Have you reported it to the palace?"

Ma Dafu blushed, and said after a while: "Before I reported something to the palace, the stewards said that there is no need to report these things..."

"The stewards said that there is no need to report to the palace for things like kaishan?"

"No, no, the stewards said in detail what it is, but I don't need to report back if I can make up my mind about the farm."

"Then do you think you can make up your mind about Kaishan?" Mu Yangling asked with a chuckle.

Ma Dafu blushed and was speechless.

A cold light flashed in Mu Yangling's eyes, and he asked, "Do you know that driving such a mountain is against the law?"

Ma Dafu raised his head in surprise, and looked at the princess in amazement.

Mu Yangling asked again, "Who told you to go to the palace to report to the stewards before?"

"It's the youngest second son. He said that this is the owner's field, so he has to tell the owner clearly."

"Then why didn't your second son ask you to inform the stewards of the palace if you want to open up wasteland?"

"Because every time the young one goes to answer the call, the stewards always say that there is no need to report such things, and let the young one make up his own mind. Ah Xiang said that opening up wasteland is not a big deal. It is his job to open up wasteland and cultivate land for the owner, so there is no need to go to the specific Let me know so that the stewards don't get impatient."

Mu Yangling chuckled and said, "Your second son is smart. Why haven't I seen him before? Where did he work before?"
