The twenty-fifth day is in the downtown area and no one knows
After the light rain, the air was filled with the fragrance of earth, the apricot blossoms were blooming, and the peach blossoms were beginning to bloom. Yun Ye was wearing a raincoat and holding a hoe, looking at the fields in the mist, and his heart was filled with joy. The wheat seedlings had just sprouted new shoots, tender and yellow.
The yellow ones were swaying in the breeze, and the endless wheat fields stretched from the front to the end of the sight.
Like Yun Ye, there are many farmers wearing coir raincoats to clear weeds. The hoe jumps quickly between the ridges. This is the first time we clear weeds in spring. Yun Ye is already very skilled in weeding. Even if he walks backwards,
Wheat seedlings will not be trampled. In other words, this is a skill of old farmers. Only those second-rate people who do not cultivate well will hoe clumsily. The soft soil they have just hoe will be severely trampled by their big feet.
.
As a landowner, Yun Ye does not allow himself to be unfamiliar with farming. He thinks this is a betrayal. The Yun family started off by relying on potatoes. To leave the land and go into business? That is an extremely boring thing.
A strong man always grabs a child and beats him violently. Once or twice is okay. Over time, not only others despise him, but he also feels bored. Now the Yun family's method of obtaining wealth is very simple, that is, obtaining rental income.
Yunjiazhuangzi is now very large, even larger than the county seat. The county magistrate has issued a report requesting that the county government be moved to Yunjiazhuangzi, because most of the economic and cultural activities in Lantian County are near Yushan, and they can be managed nearby.
It is more convenient. Others say that the Yun family is in decline. Only officials in Lantian County think this is pure nonsense.
The rumors in Chang'an City will be shattered immediately when they arrive here. I am not your father, why should I teach you to be smart? This sentence is very popular among farmers in Yushan and even Lantian County. Is Mr. Hou a bad guy? Here
People have different views. The richest place in the Tang Dynasty should be a little different.
Whenever relatives from Chang'an City talk pitifully about how your family is living under Yun Ye's hand, the farmers will listen with smiles. Ordinary relatives will nod and chime in, complaining about the Yun family.
Bad reputation, if it were his nephew who said this, the old farmer would roll up his sleeves and slap him in the face. After the slap, he would say, "You are my nephew. This is to teach you to be smart. Don't imitate those idiots outside."
Hey, the Marquis robbed your wife, or took your money?
Farmers are the people who pay the most attention to personal experience and examples. Once they believe it, they will change their mind after hearing a few meaningless words. These are not farmers. They only know that their copper coins are increasing every year, and the grain farmers have always been
The house is full, the children are as strong as calves, and the Marquis has no habit of robbing other people's daughters. This is a good family specially given by God. The tenants are richer than the farmers. This is simply a place of enjoyment.
commit a sin.
Yun Ye's hoeing speed is still not as fast as that of the old farmer. Every time at this time, farmers who have finished hoeing their own land will come over to help Mr. Hou hoe the land, and then a group of people will lay the hoe handle horizontally on the edge of the field.
Under his buttocks, he crossed his legs and predicted this year's harvest. There was a pile of snacks from the Marquis and pot helmets from the farmer's family, and eggs. He ate at will, and Yun Ye told some border jokes from time to time, which made everyone burst into laughter.
"Master Marquis, don't mind what the old man said. You have handed over all your errands now. This is a great thing. Fighting at the border is more glorious. After all, you have to sacrifice your family and career to earn it with your life. Since the country is not
If the Marquis is needed to fight, the Marquis will stay at home and enjoy a few days of peace and happiness.
The old man is an old man in Zhuangzi. Every time you go to war, the old man is worried. The old man served in the army in his career. Many people in Zhuangzi have served in the army. They know what happens on the battlefield. In critical moments, the general's
The life should be filled in, so it is filled in. You see, every time we go to war, there are always funerals to be done in our village. Although we all have military achievements, after all, the people are gone.
Now that our family has all the merits it deserves, it's not worth risking our lives in exchange for it. Zhuangzi is also rich, and there is no shortage of the two rewards given by the officials. What's more, the bulk of the reward is paid by you, the Marquis.
Now he has such a reputation in Chang'an for killing enemies with swords, guns, and swords? Are the dog officials in the court blind? Are they forcing a bucket of shit on the head of the Marquis?
Our family is not going out anymore. Whoever wants to fight can be allowed to go. We, our family, will lock up Zhuangzi and live our own lives without disturbing anyone. Mr. Marquis, you have been busy for so many years and it is time for you to take a rest.
"
What he said made Yun Ye's eyes turn red. He patted the old farmer's arm and said, "Uncle De is right. Our house is indeed an eyesore. Hahaha, I will listen to everyone and hide in the village."
If you don’t go out anymore, if you feel bored, go visit friends in distant places and look at the mountains and rivers. If you don’t make people hate you, you won’t have to worry about such nonsense.”
When the people around saw that the Marquis was happy, they started talking about the happy events in Zhuangzi with smiles. The court was too far away from the farmers, and it would be bad to talk too much.
"Master Hou, it's too difficult for the younger generation of our village to marry a wife. The bastard Liu Shuan has made a fortune by guarding four girls. He only dares to rely on his own daughter Xiaoxi to serve the old lady.
He opened his mouth and asked the old man for two cars of bride price. Listen, two cars.
The boy in my family can be regarded as the best young man in Zhuangzi. In the past few years, he has traveled extensively with the family manager and has gained a lot of experience. Now he is a big boss. He earns a lot of money and food, but he cannot withstand Liu Shuan's blackmail. "
"I have seen Xiao Xi. She is a good woman. My grandma has always praised her. She is handsome, but what is difficult is that she has a pair of skillful hands. The New Year's gift sent to the palace by Madam included her embroidery, which is
It's for the Empress, uncle Sanzi, you are picking up a big deal. In my opinion, the gifts for both carts are too light. Why don't you hurry up and get the job done? If someone else takes the lead, you will
Go ahead and cry!"
Knowing that the old man was showing off, Yun Ye also joined in the fun. The old man scratched the back of his head and said boldly: "Okay, just listen to the Marquis. Even if I sell iron, I can get him two cartloads of gifts for Liu Shuan."
After chatting and laughing with the old farmer, it was time for dinner. Seeing smoke rising from the village, a group of people picked up their hoes and carried their own baskets home.
The basket was full of fresh wild vegetables that had just been dug. Knowing that the Marquis liked this, seeing that there was not much in the Marquis' basket, they all poured what they had dug into Yun Ye's basket. It was not easy to refuse, and it would be false to refuse. Tomorrow we will work
It would be nice to bring an extra bottle of wine to say thank you.
Wangcai was not allowed to go to the farmland, so he stayed at the entrance of the archway obediently. When he saw Yun Ye coming from a distance, he called out and ran over. Now that Wangcai is in his prime, the one who is tall and has long legs is the most majestic.
His mouth is getting more naughty. He fed a wild vegetable, turned it around in his mouth and then spit it out. He doesn't like eating wild vegetables now, because wild vegetables always have a bitter taste, which is not to his taste.
The Yun family seems to have guests coming over today. There is a carriage parked in front of the door. It has a black hood and it is hard to tell who it belongs to. The carriage is also old, the willow wood used for the shaft is cracked, and the horse pulling the carriage is not strong either.
, at least Wangcai ran over and gave him a warning, snorting and spitting on the person's face.
After confirming his dominant position, Wangcai returned to Yun Ye and rubbed his big head on Yun Ye's neck in a showy way. He had to push it away. This bastard has now learned a lot of bad habits. Recently, he has learned to wipe his mouth after spitting.
, the most convenient way is to rub it on an acquaintance, the groom has almost become a full-time rag.
It's not an important guest. If it is important, Liu Jinbao, who is squatting high up, will come over to report. Xin Yue will also call the housekeeper to come over to support him. Judging from the water drops on the draft horse, it is estimated that he will be here soon.
The person who came was a doctor from the Chang'an Tonglu Department, who was responsible for the goods trade in Chang'an. In the past, such low-level officials would automatically avoid going to the gate of the Yun Mansion, but now they are sitting in the living room sipping the Yun family's tea.
He was impatient and ignored the housekeeper of Yun Mansion, always urging him to ask when Marquis Yun would be back.
Yun Ye was wearing a raincoat and carrying a bamboo basket and went directly into the hall. There was no need for such a person to change his clothes to show his grandeur. When he entered the hall, he handed the bamboo basket to Lao Zhao and told the cook to use boiling water and add more vinegar and garlic.
Mix it up and drink it in the evening,
When Lao Zhao helped him take off his raincoat, he seemed to have just discovered someone in the hall. He turned a blind eye to him as he bent down to salute, and directly asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" After saying that, he glared at Lao Zhao fiercely.
At one glance, he blamed him for bringing an unknown person into the living room.
"Master Hou, this is the doctor from Chang'an Tonglu Division. I came here specifically to ask why our village's goods used to enter Chang'an in a certain amount. Why is there so much less this month?"
"This is your errand. Tell me what to do. If I do all the things in the house and leave you to eat, you are all the old people in the family. Why don't you let people worry?"
Old Zhao lowered his head to learn. The doctor looked embarrassed. Yun Ye took the towel and wiped his face, then went directly into the back hall. Who has time to chat with you? He Shao is organizing a large number of goods. He wants to get these goods.
When sent to other places, I heard that no matter how many organizations there are, they cannot satisfy the huge appetite of the foreign market. Many caravans are rushing to grab the goods with red eyes. The inn on Yunjiazhuangzi is full of foreign merchants waiting to get the goods. This month
Except for vegetables, which were sold several times by farmers organized by the county government into the city, other goods never entered the city gate at all, and Tonglusi did not receive a few copper coins in tax money.
In the spring, the mother-in-law's Ding, bitter vegetables, and dandelions were mixed into a cold dish, which was delicious. When they returned home, Xinyue and the others had already eaten, and Yun Ye's dinner was a large bowl of whistle noodles and a plate of wild vegetables.
Na Rimu also ate with chopsticks beside him. As a result, Yun Ye didn't take a few bites of the prepared wild vegetables, and most of them went into Na Rimu's stomach. The greedy woman even drank up the vinegar soup. (To be continued.
