Ye Qingzheng was talking to a person named Gao Pu, who was a well-known person in Yejiazhuang: "By the way, how did you find me?"
Gao Pu said with an apologetic smile: "Young Master Qing has been gone for a long time. The clan is concerned about it and sent several people to take turns waiting at the county intersection. It's just a coincidence."
Ye Qing's status is different now. He is the star of hope of his clan. He cannot be careless in the slightest.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Qing sighed and said: "The working people are really scared because they remembered blindly... By the way, how is the wheat in the field?"
Gao Pu immediately beamed and said: "The weather has been good again this year, the wheat is growing very well, and it is said that there is an imperial edict that the world is free of money and grain, and 20% of the tax is saved immediately. This is considered a favor from the emperor..."
Ye Qing laughed after hearing this. The Ye clan had a total of thirty hectares of land. This reduction also brought a lot of profit, but this was a precautionary measure when the disaster came. Thinking of this, he sighed and said: "Although this scene is good, it is
It won’t last long!”
"Young Master Qing, what do you mean-"
"I mean, we need to accumulate food!"
Ye Qing looked at the scenery on the roadside and said calmly: "The peace has lasted for a long time and there is not much food left. This is not the solution."
After a pause, he changed the topic and asked, "Do you think it's almost there?"
"Yes, we are almost there. We have reached the path. Look, Mr. Qing, this is your field!"
When the oxcart arrived at the field road, Lu Shangjing was greeted. She hadn't seen her for a month. Her originally fair face was now slightly tanned by the sun, but she was full of smiles: "Master, it's been a bumper harvest this year. I think we can produce four hundred kilograms per acre."
Due to the controllable climate in this world, the yield per mu has increased slightly, but it is not easy to reach four hundred kilograms. Ye Qing held his hand tightly, and the rough calluses on his hand made him feel painful, and patted his hand again.
Jian: "It does depend on the good weather, but my husband's hard work and sensitivity are indispensable."
Since this scholar was appointed, he spends almost half of his time in this farm every day, working with Sun Guatian. During the busy farming period, he even rolls up his trousers and practices with the tenant farmers. This farming experience has advanced rapidly, and now he can manage it freely, and all the energy and effort he has spent can be seen.
.
Lu Shangjing laughed at this time: "I don't dare. In fact, all the work is done by tenant farmers, and Sun Zhuangtou gives guidance and help. The boss also bought a water tanker, which reduced the people's power, but I don't dare to take credit."
Ye Qing sighed and his voice became hoarse: "You can't say that. Now that the peace has been long, we have to find as many scholars as we need to lecture on the Bible. If we don't tell lies and do practical things, there are none in the entire county.
A few of them, I asked my husband to take care of my private property as well, but I didn’t realize that my husband was so serious about it. With his talents, it is really unfair to do this.
"Boss, you told me half a year ago that a long journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step. If you don't do these three hundred acres, how will you do three thousand or thirty thousand acres in the future?" Lu Shangjing smiled slightly and joked: "Moreover,
I'm still waiting for the shrine promised by my boss, how dare I not be careful?"
Ye Qing saw that this man had developed a practical temperament in just a few months, and he just admired him.
This person originally had a lot of talent, but now he is diligent in practice and has a comprehensive understanding. With the help of this mere three hundred acres, he has changed the situation. No wonder he was able to stand out from the Pearl Hall system in his previous life and became the "Prime Minister of the Yu Family".
Thinking about it now, he said with a smile: "I have been traveling for a month, and I feel that I have made progress in Taoism and literature, and I feel that I am not inferior to others. My husband is here to make suggestions for me, promote my reputation, and personally supervise the fields to open up and cooperate."
If you are lucky, you will succeed in the future, how dare you begrudge a place in a shrine?"
When Ye Qing said this, he saluted solemnly, and Lu Shangjing quickly returned the salute. The two stood up and looked at each other, smiling, and said nothing for a while.
It was already dusk and the clouds were dark. Ye Qing was thinking about a letter he had received from home.
Sun Guatian inspected the three hundred acres and reported privately: "In terms of hard work alone, ordinary qualifications are enough to increase, let alone a talent like Mr. Lu. Now he only manages three hundred acres of land. One day, Young Master Qing will take charge of clan affairs.
I'm afraid that this old guy like me really has to attack him!"
This last sentence, on the surface, was a sign of humility and concession from the clan's most skilled retainer, but it was actually a sign of goodwill that Ye Qing was gradually getting stronger.
Ye Qing would not take it seriously, but he was convinced that he had not misjudged the person.
And I thought to myself: "Although I don't mean it, my rise is watched step by step by my tribe. These tribesmen can best understand my development and have various reactions according to their own circumstances."
"The Ye family has given birth to many children in the past two months, both covertly and covertly. But among the brothers, there are still many who hate me for asking for Xiao He. They think I am condoning chaos, but they are actually jealous."
"I think I specially asked Jiang Zinan to be my personal maid. She is the adopted daughter of the clan leader, and she is in charge of the clan. With her, although I have not done anything in the past two months, my influence in the clan has expanded several times.
."
"Qianqian assumed the authority of the mistress, and everything was calm in the courtyard. She even promoted Lu Shangjing as a deacon, with full authority over three hundred acres of private land and external personnel. I gradually became the climate in this three-acre land."
"No matter how stupid you are, you should see clearly this strength and right to speak, understand my prospects, and the benefits of taking refuge!"
"This is just a prototype. The clan leader Ye Mengqiu is still here, so this is the only way. However, the resources of the Ye family will gradually lean towards me. Although the third uncle is a scholar, he cannot resist this trend. After all, I am only sixteen years old!"
"As long as I win the election, I can control most of the resources of Ye Mansion, and the clan leader cannot violate it, because only I can guarantee the interests of Ye Mansion within fifty years."
"It's just that although the general situation within the clan is like this, we must pay attention to small details, try to be as harmonious and harmonious as possible, and reduce internal friction during the handover. From the experience of my previous life, this is my own foundation!"
It's not easy to say much at the gate of the farm now. Ye Qing and Lu Shangjing entered the farm with arms crossed: "By the way, I'm here specifically to catch the autumn wind."
"It's a dream come true! There is nothing else in the farm. It has the most chickens and ducks. The first batch of new steamed wine has been released. The fruit is as mellow as the owner said. It's just the right time to stay drunk..."
Luhua County
Yu Fan stepped forward, followed by Mr. Kou. The two men came out one after the other. When the people accompanying him saw the two men coming out, they all stood with their hands down.
At dusk, the sun was setting in the west, and it seemed peaceful. The two of them came to the northwest corner. Mr. Kou looked at the scenery of the garden and smiled: "It's really good, a good garden!"
"It's just a stronghold in this county. If you want a ten-acre house, I'll give it to you." Yu Fan said with a smile.
"No reward for no merit, even if the master doesn't reward me in ten years, I will take it." As Mr. Kou was talking, he saw a captain and two servants coming in.
"Greetings to the young master!" The captain saluted, then stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master Yu is here under your cover, and your subordinate will be here immediately. If you have any errands, just give me your orders."
There was no smile on Yu Fan's face at this time, but he just said calmly: "I heard that you are familiar with the neighbors in the county? I came here because of a private matter."
"Yes, the young master just gives orders. Both the black and white in the county and the lower officials can speak and take care of things!"
Black and white?
When Yu Fan heard this word, he smiled contemptuously. Black and white people only say this among the people. At an advanced level, this word is not even mentioned - it disappears in a flash of smoke and cannot be put on the stage.
But he didn't mention it at this time. He just said: "I want to find an old friend. He is a fortune teller, but he only appears on the fifteenth day of every month. You have some spies in each neighborhood. Once you find out, report it to me -
—No rudeness, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" the captain responded solemnly.
"But the general is not short of hungry soldiers. It's April and it's getting hotter. I'll reward you with some money and some ice tea to cool off. This is nothing more than a small reward. Once the matter is done, there will be a big reward."
, but if you don’t manage your subordinates well, don’t do things carefully, and miss my important events, be careful and you’ll end up in trouble!”
These words were not polite, but the captain responded repeatedly and said with an apologetic smile: "Young Master is a sensible person. He knows that the yamen are slack now and have become fried dough sticks. However, since it is the Young Master's business and he is so considerate to his brothers, I am sorry.
Is there any reason for an official not to do his job with all his heart?
"When I go back, I will immediately mobilize the hundreds of brothers in the yamen, and then call out the villains from the neighborhood. I can guarantee that within one-third of an acre of this county, as long as there is this fortune teller, even a fly can find it."
come out!"
After that, he bowed and went out.
Watching this man go away, Mr. Kou smiled and said: "My lord, even though this man is a junior official, he is only a ninth grade official, but he is indeed a powerful figure. He is in charge of the security and patrol matters in the county. He has great power. He has him
If you work hard, you will always find people!”
"You don't have to be bored in the garden. You can go out for a walk. Even though it's late spring in April, the weather is not hot yet, so you can go for a visit."
Yu Fan looked at the setting sun, took a moment, and realized that he had lost his composure just now. He frowned and said, "Mr. Kou, you are my confidant, and I don't hide anything from you. I feel a little uneasy and get angry easily.
If there are any shortcomings, please forgive me sir."
Mr. Kou was a very deep man. He thought about it in his mind and followed Yu Fan's intention and said: "My lord, I don't dare to agree to your words. You are the king and I am the minister. What I am here to do is a big thing.
It’s human nature to be anxious and scold you a few times, how dare you ask for so-called forgiveness?”
"Okay, you can help me relieve some of the pressure!" Yu Fan sighed after hearing this, and then thought about it carefully: "It's strange to say that when I got here, looking at Jinyang Lake in the distance, I felt
It’s familiar yet scary, and I want to get close to you but also want to stay away from you. This feeling is really difficult to understand and cannot be resolved.”
"But you're right, it's okay to be anxious. If you want to relax, you should relax!" He hesitated and said, "Let's go to Jinyang Lake!"
Jinyang Lake·Water Palace
The water in Jinyang Lake is not rushing, and the water is silent. The palace in the water is not big. At this time, there is a coral throne on the steps. Longsun is drinking from a cup. Below are various aquatic animals.
While they were having a lively drink, there was a sudden "snap" sound, and a glass cup was crushed into pieces by Long Sun. The water tribe was so shocked that all of them stopped moving and became silent for a while.
But someone stood up and said, "Master, what's the matter? What's the matter?"
Longsun frowned and looked up, but he saw a water general with a heroic appearance and scales on his body. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I broke this cup because I remembered the time when I was trapped."
As he said that, he changed the cups and ordered: "Come on, let's continue drinking!"
No one in the Shui Tribe had such thoughts, and the excitement suddenly returned to liveliness. Longsun drank a glass, and a chill flashed through his eyes: "Longzhu, huh, if it hadn't been buried in the ancestral grave, I wouldn't be able to get it back even if I killed you, and I don't care about your backstage.
, I will kill you immediately."
"Hmph, but don't think about it ending like this. Sooner or later, the Yu family will destroy your Manchu clan!"
