After being coaxed and coaxed by Song Lian and Wang Ying, Liu Yijin went back to his room to sleep.
"This idiot can't be allowed to drink. Once he drinks, he can't control himself."
Wang Ying chuckled and said, "I think he will still come to see you, sister, at night."
Song Lian's face changed drastically: "No, no, I haven't been feeling well these days. If I look for her, I'll look for you."
Wang Ying looked stunned: "I, I feel like I'm getting close. I'm very tired during this period, and it's impossible to let him enter my room."
Song Lian had a pair of peach blossom eyes with a smile: "Is it possible to just let him hold it in like this?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do? Is it possible to let him find another one?"
Song Lian paused and said leisurely, "I think Sun Sangxiang is interested in Liu Yijin, how about I help them?"
When Wang Ying heard Song Lian take the initiative to talk about this matter, she couldn't help but said: "Actually, I think so too. No matter how you say it, Xiaoxiang is one of our own. This is also called fat water not flowing to outsiders. Didn't the eldest sister see Liu Yijinwang?" Look at Lan Yu'er's eyes, so naked that she even wants to swallow him up."
Song Lian took a deep breath: "You said a lot. There is indeed something wrong with this guy's eyes when he looks at Lan Yu'er."
"Yes, and Lan Yu'er is also a medical saint. Didn't the governor say when he rewarded her last time, he also gave Liu Yijin part of the reward to Lan Yu'er. Isn't this obvious?"
"Besides, now that your Excellency has become more powerful, there will be more people who will fawn over him in the future, and the girls sent by others will be extremely beautiful. If we don't tie him up early, it will be even more difficult to say in the future. .”
Wang Ying's words made Song Lian frightened: "My sister is right, this guy is good at everything, but he can't control his lower body."
Song Lian's face turned red as she seemed to have thought of something: "Besides, Sun Sangxiang is also a young man, and she lives very close to Liu Yijin. It's very convenient both here and outside. I think you want to give it a try?"
Wang Ying nodded: "As long as eldest sister agrees, I will naturally help."
The two have reached a united front, and their hearts seem to be much closer.
After Wang Ying walked out of Song Lian's place, she went directly to Sun Sangxiang's place.
Sun Sangxiang was eating watermelon in the yard. When she saw Wang Ying walking in with a smile, she stood up in a hurry and said, "Sister, why are you here?"
Wang Ying pulled Sun Sangxiang aside and said, "Sister, I need your help with something."
"Sister's business is my business. If you have anything to do, just give me your orders."
Wang Ying pulled Sun Sangxiang and whispered a few words. The latter's face turned red and she said evasively: "Sister, is this appropriate?"
"Is there anything inappropriate? Besides, the eldest sister agreed to this matter. You must seize this opportunity. If you don't seize it, it will become someone else's by then. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
After Wang Ying finished speaking, her face turned slightly red: "To tell you the truth, the eldest lady and I..."
Before Wang Ying finished speaking, she heard Sun Sangxiang chuckle: "Sister, I know this."
Wang Ying's face became even more rosy: "In that case, why don't you speed up your pace?"
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and wealthy families naturally stay at home. Those who can afford it even take out the ice cubes hidden in their homes to cool down, while farmers and tenants who cannot afford it can only hide in the shade of trees to cool off. .
Now that the Maitreya Buddhism thing has come to an end, the tenants in the fields are naturally busy. They harvest wheat during the day, beat it out in the cool afternoon, and then dry it in the sun.
Erzhuzi, Gouzi and others have been idle these days. Although they have become Liu Yijin's people, they are not like Liu Yijin. One person can eat enough and the whole family is not hungry. The key is that Liu Yijin has become a mature person now. Become a high official. It is supported by the imperial court.
As soon as Er Zhuzi returned home, his father handed a sickle into Er Zhuzi's hand: "Go to the ground."
Er Zhuzi miraculously said: "Dad, how many crops can we harvest from farming in a year? I am now earning one tael of silver a month. In the future, Brother Yijin will be the head of the county, and my salary will be even more. I think here we can It’s better not to plant it.”
Zhuzhu's father suddenly became angry, and he picked up the pole next to him and hit Erzhu: "Are your wings stiff now? Let me tell you, how can we call farmers farmers when they don't have food? What's wrong with you having one tael of silver a month now? Or do you still eat and poop?”
Seeing that his father was angry, Erzhuzi said hurriedly: "Dad, I don't care if I don't plant any crops in that three-thirds of an acre of land. Why don't we just farm it out? Then you can just sit there and wait to collect the grain. That's not possible." , I’ll go tell Brother Yijing and I’ll get you a small official, won’t our family become prosperous?”
Zhuzhu's father was so angry that he trembled all over, and a pole hit Erzhu's arm directly: "Get out of here!"
This time Zhuzi Niang suddenly panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Dad, what are you doing? What the child said is right."
"You know nothing!" Zhuzi's father angrily threw the pole to the ground: "We are tenants, so we should grow food well. Although Zhou Papi is no longer in the Zhou Mansion, Yijin has a high-ranking official, and I feel happy , but look at Erzhu, if it weren’t for Liu Yijin, wouldn’t you be a long-term worker now?”
"One pound doesn't matter to you. If you don't plant the land well, you will just be idle all day long. What will happen to you?"
"Your father doesn't want others to poke my spine and scold me!"
Seeing his father's face livid with anger, Erzhuzi hurriedly said: "Dad, calm down, I'll go collect the food now."
Zhuzhu's father snorted: "We can keep 30% of this year's harvest. What a kindness. If you don't harvest the grain well and hand it over to the Zhou Mansion, see if I don't break your legs!"
Er Zhuzhu ran out dejectedly. As soon as he arrived at the end of the field, he saw Gouzi and Tiedan walking over dejectedly.
"Why, your dad scolded you too?"
"Who isn't?" Gouzi squatted on the ground and said, "I'm getting carried away now, and I've even forgotten my roots. I also said that one pound is good for us, and we have to work twice as hard to cultivate the land."
Tiedan on the side looked at Erzhuzi: "Erzhuzi, you have the best relationship with Brother Yijin, why don't you go and talk about it?"
"What do you say?"
"Just ask Brother Yijing to tell the old men in our family that we won't be allowed to farm in the future."
Erzhuzi hesitated and said: "Is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? Our most important task now is to help Brother Yijin maintain a good harvest in the Zhou Mansion and the fields. Brother Yijin is now the head of the county. He is even more powerful than the county governor. Dear officer, will we still farm in the future?"
"That's right!" Tiedan nodded: "When the time comes, we will follow Brother Yijin to be popular and drink..."
Looking at Tiedan who suddenly paused, Erzhuzi and Gouzi asked in confusion: "Tiedan, what are you doing?"
Tiedan blinked his eyes desperately, and as soon as Erzhuzi and Gouzi turned around, they saw Liu Yijin wearing coarse cloth standing aside with a sickle, looking at them with a smile.
"Brother Yijin."
Erzhuzi said awkwardly: "You, why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, how could I have heard such a wonderful conversation? I don't want to farm anymore. Believe it or not, I will let you stay in this field for the rest of your life!"
Erzhuzi's face turned red: "Brother Yijin, that's not what I meant."
"Get out!" Liu Yijin kicked Erzhuzi: "Go and call all the villagers over. I have something to announce today."
It turned out that Liu Yijin had been paying attention to things in the fields these days. He had a bold idea in his mind, but the opportunity was never ripe.
Now that he has become the county chief, this plan should be put on the agenda.
Before coming, he had already discussed with Song Lian and Wang Ying, that is, to sell out all the land currently in the hands of Zhou Mansion!
Erzhuzhu summoned all the tenants. Everyone looked confused when they saw Liu Yijin holding a sickle in his hand and wearing straw sandals on his feet.
Liu Yijin said: "Uncles and aunties, I have only one thing to do when I summon you today, and that is to announce the lady's decision on farming."
Everyone suddenly became nervous: "One pound, has the eldest lady gone back on her word again and not agreed to give 30% to us?"
Liu Yijin smiled and shook his head: "It's about the division of responsibility fields."
"Responsibility field? What is responsibility field?"
Looking at everyone's confused looks, Liu Yijin smiled and said: "The eldest lady has decided that as long as you are a tenant who cultivates the Zhou family's fields, the land you cultivate can be directly contracted to you, and you will hand over the land according to the harvest of that year every year. Just give 40% to the Zhou family, and the rest is yours."
"Besides, it's up to you to decide what to plant in the ground. Even if you plant trees and sell them for money, you only need to hand over 40% of the harvest to the eldest lady."
As soon as Liu Yijin finished speaking, everyone looked at him blankly. Even Erzhu and others on the side had dumbfounded expressions.
"Brother Yijin, what are you talking about?"
Liu Yijin smiled and said: "What I mean is that the Zhou family will contract the land to you for five years, ten years, or twenty years. It can be any. The Zhou family and we can write a contract responsibility letter and sign it. This land is in It will be yours within the stipulated time, as long as you hand over 40% of that year’s harvest to the Zhou Mansion.”
Zhuzhu's father was stunned: "One pound, are you telling the truth?"
Liu Yijin took out a stack of paper from his body with a smile: "This is what the government has written. If you agree, you can sign and pledge it. Of course, you decide the contract period."
Everyone looked at the white paper in their hands and became excited: "Sir, I want to contract for five years."
"I'll take the contract for ten years!"
"Can I contract for eight years?"
After listening to everyone's words, Liu Yijin laughed and said, "Anything is fine!"
