"Hey, isn't this Mr. Han Qi? Where are you going~?"
At noon, Li Zexuan arrived at Hanjiazhuang. At the entrance of the village, he met Master Han Qi, who was carrying a hoe and walking towards the village. He stepped forward to say hello.
Han Qiye is considered a native of Hanjiazhuang. In the late Sui Dynasty and the Wude period, Han Qiye was the Li Zheng of Hanjiazhuang. However, he finally stepped down from the position of Li Zheng due to his old age. Even so, He now also has a high reputation in Hanjiazhuang.
"Hey, it's the young master~! I just came back from the fields, young master. If you come over today, young master, you have to go to the old man's house for a meal. To tell you the truth, the old man also made some wine himself. Young master, please go quickly. Try it~!”
When Han Qiye heard the sound, he quickly stopped, turned around and grinned at Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan waved his hands quickly and said: "No, no, I have something to do with my father-in-law today. I will visit your hometown another day! By the way, Master Qi! The harvest in the village is not good this year. Is there anything wrong with your family or other farmers?" Difficulty? If so, I will go back and tell Butler Wang that Hanjiazhuang will not collect rent this year~!"
"Hey, hey, hey~! I can't do it, I can't do it, young master~!"
Master Han Qi quickly dissuaded him: "Master, although the harvest on the village this year is not good, the farmers on the village have made a lot of money by selling fruits. And later, Master, you have raised chickens to reduce the burden. Most people In fact, you only need to pay less than 20% of the rent, and everyone can afford it! Moreover, the chickens in the chicken farms are now starting to lay eggs, and the money farmers make from selling eggs every month is equivalent to a year in previous years. Your income has been reduced, young master, don’t worry~! If you reduce or reduce all the rent, everyone will feel bad~!"
After hearing this, Li Zexuan felt a little relieved, and he smiled and said: "Well, if the farmers have difficulties, just tell me, Master Qi, I will go to my father-in-law's house first~!"
"Haha~! Okay, okay, young master, just go ahead~!"
Master Han Qi stroked his beard and chuckled.
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and left.

"Father-in-law, I plan to build a road to connect Meicun, Hanjiazhuang and the official road of Chang'an!"
In the small courtyard of the Han family, Han Tianhu and Li Zexuan's husband and son-in-law had some wine and dishes, and sat down to have a drink. During the dinner, Li Zexuan slightly mentioned the road construction plan.
Han Tianhu put down his wine glass and said in surprise: "Building roads~? Xiaoxuan, how come you are so good and suddenly think of building roads?"
Li Zexuan repeated the theory he had told Cao Wendong before about "building roads first if you want to get rich." After hearing this, Han Tianhu was speechless. After a while, he said: "This is actually the result of your careful consideration, Xiaoxuan. That old man I support you, but are you ready with the money and people to build the road?"
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "Everything is ready. Everything is ready now, just waiting to start construction. However, part of the field may be occupied during the road construction process. Of course, it does not occupy a whole field, but only a very small part of a field. , even so, this will affect the farmers' future harvests, so I came here today to ask my father-in-law to help coordinate with the farmers on the village. When I saw it, it was time to reduce the rent or compensate the farmers who had occupied the fields. Some money~!”
In the past, the road between Hanjiazhuang and Meicun was too narrow. Now that the road needs to be built, of course it needs to be widened. This widening is likely to occupy the fields on the roadside.
Regarding the occupation of cultivated land for road construction, in modern times, this thing would be called land acquisition compensation. However, the fields in Hanjiazhuang originally belonged to the Li family. There is no land acquisition compensation at all. At most, it is based on the area of the land occupied by the farmers. The size of the money can be used to reduce or reduce the corresponding rent, or it can be directly converted into copper coins and paid to the banker in one lump sum.
Han Tianhu thought seriously for a long time before he said: "Well, this is indeed a problem. After dinner, I will call the villagers to discuss the matter together. I think there will be no problem. After all, road construction is not a problem for Zhuangzi." It’s also a good thing for the dealers on the market~!”
………………………
At around 1 p.m., the farmers in Hanjiazhuang were summoned to the threshing floor at the entrance of the village. After waiting for a long time, Han Tianhu saw that everyone had arrived. He stood in front of everyone and said loudly:
"I summoned everyone here today because I want to discuss something with you! It's like this. The young master plans to build a cement road like the one in Yanhuang Academy to connect Hanjiazhuang to Meicun and the official road outside Chang'an City! Since the cement pavement that the young master wants to build is very wide, it will occupy a small part of our fields in the middle. The crops received in the future will definitely be slightly reduced, so I called everyone here today mainly to discuss compensation! See if you are Are you willing to reduce the rent, or get a sum of money directly?”
As soon as Han Tianhu finished speaking, the dealers below started talking among themselves.
"Building roads~? Master wants to build roads for us~? That's really great~!"
"And it's a cement road. Do you know the cement road? It's a very smooth road like Yanhuang Academy. I didn't expect that we would be able to walk on that kind of road in the future~!"
"If this road is repaired, wouldn't it only take two-quarters of an hour for us to go to Chang'an?"
"Li Zheng, when will the young master build the road for us~? I will go over and help then~!"
Hu Hanyun shouted, looked at Han Tianhu and asked.
Han Tianhu replied: "It has already started this afternoon, so everyone must discuss a result as soon as possible, so as not to affect the progress of the young master's road construction~!"
Hu Hanyun laughed and said: "Hey~! What's there to discuss~? Even if road construction will occupy some fields, how much will it occupy in total along one road? Anyway, I, Lao Hu, don't want any compensation. The young master's road construction is against Zhuangzi It’s also a good thing. He didn’t ask me to repair the route. The young master has already done his best to be kind and righteous. How can I, Lao Hu, be so shameless that I go to the young master to ask for money~?”
"Haha~! Han Yun is right. Although the road construction takes up a little land and affects the future harvest, if the road is repaired, it will be of great benefit to our entire Zhuangzi. We must not be ignorant of good and evil. For the sake of This is a small profit and I went to the young master to ask for money~!"
Han Qiye also spoke at this moment.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, voices of approval immediately sounded one after another.
"Master Qi is right. The young master is kind and kind to build roads for us. We must not be ignorant of good and evil~!"
"That's right, you can't be ignorant of good and evil~!"
"Li Zheng, let's not make any compensation~!"
All of a sudden, the villagers clamored not to accept the land compensation given by Li Zexuan. This is what the people want~!
