"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the master is coming!"
Guided by two servants, Luo Jie brought the succulents and the red cactus to a farmland.
This is the largest field in the original Kawasaki family. It mainly grows rice and is irrigated by water from the moat. The annual harvest can account for more than 90% of the Kawasaki family's total grain harvest. It can be said to be the essence of the Kawasaki family's industry.
After learning that the new owner of this field had come to inspect the field in person, dozens of nearby farmers had been waiting on the dirt road at the edge of the field. Hundreds of people, men, women, old and young, knelt down in a large area.
"Why are you shouting? Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile? What if you scare the fellow villagers? It just scares the livestock. When the time comes, the cows will not eat grass and the chickens will not lay eggs. Can you be responsible?"
Succulent plants are like the dandy villains in movies and TV shows. They scolded the two servants who opened the way. Although the two servants could not understand the words of the "second master", they still groveled and apologized with laughter.
"Okay, stop playing." Luo Jie called back the succulents, which were a little too involved in the drama, and said to one of the servants: "Let these farmers choose a person who can make the decision to come to me..."
The servant didn't seem to be used to the modern way of using words by Luo Jie and others. He hesitated for a moment, and Succulent immediately slapped him on the head and said: "Stupid! I just asked you to choose the representative of the poor and lower-middle peasants." Reflect on the situation.”
Luo Jie was speechless and covered his face. It was a normal thing at first, but being disturbed by this guy Duosu made him feel like he had gone to the Japanese country to lead the oppressed Japanese peasants to commit suicide and make changes in time and space.
An old man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face was elected by everyone, walked to Luo Jie, and knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Old man, please get up and talk...how old are you?"
"To tell you something, sir, I am thirty-five this year."
"..."
Forget it, let’s not do the people-friendly thing.
Luo Jie motioned to his servants to help up the old... er, a little anxious-looking eldest brother, and asked, "I heard that you are planning to cancel the lease?"
The man's face turned pale and he knelt down again.
"Yes... Mr. Inukai forced us to sign, and they said that Mr. Ye is from China and has not lived in Xianjinyi for a long time. Sooner or later, he will sell his land and return to China. If he doesn't rent their land now, You will never rent to us again in the future - you must be aware that we are just a group of ordinary people who work hard to make a living, and we cannot afford to offend anyone, whether it is Inukai-sama or you, Ye-sama!"
"I don't mean to blame you, get up." Luo Jie stretched out his hand to support him.
"My lord, have mercy."
The man stood up and secretly wiped his hands with cold sweat. It seemed that this new aristocratic gentleman had a good temper. If it were the former Kawasaki gentleman, he would probably not be able to escape a severe beating.
The flaming red cactus looked at Luo Jie, with a bit of gloating on his face: "Night Dire, although I don't know why you stay here to farm, but now that all the farmers have been poached, I'm afraid your plan will... It can’t go on any longer.”
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally, as if he had not heard the words of the red cactus, and continued to talk to the old-looking man: "Don't worry, you are free to rent the land you want, and I will not interfere... I want to ask you. One thing, after you sign that contract, are you allowed to do other chores?"
Seeing that Luo Jie really had no intention of pursuing the case, the man gained a little more courage, lowered his head and replied: "There are no additional restrictions on this. After all, relying only on the production of the fields is not enough to support a family's life, so We usually do some carpentry and house repair work at night, and the women will also weave some coarse cloth at home to supplement the family income."
"Then I have a field harvesting job here. Do you want to do it? The wages...are three times the market price."
Xianjinyi's labor costs are very low. Even if it is three times the salary, it is still not a big expense.
Besides, Luo Jie, who had emptied the underground treasures in Hamna Tower, had the capital.
"Oh? Aren't you giving food?"
The old man was a little surprised, but it was not a big deal. From a certain point of view, it was more convenient to give him money. At least he could go to the market to buy some items for his home and a couple of new clothes for his wife and children.
What's more, the big man in front of me has offered three times the salary, which is a good thing that you can't usually ask for.
At this moment, the man really hoped that this young and kind-looking Huaguo master could stay in Xianjinyi for a long time.
Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was confused: "I'm afraid not, Master... Every year during the autumn harvest, we are not even busy with farm work in our own fields, so I'm afraid we won't be able to help you with your work."
Luo Jie shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not autumn, it's now."
The old man was stunned: "Sir, are you kidding? The crops in the fields have just been planted, and it's still early for the harvest season."
"It's not too early, it's just right now."
After Luo Jie finished speaking, he stepped towards the endless green seedlings in front of him.
In the silent flash of the magic circle, a slim figure wearing a tight-fitting black leather jacket flew out of the alien space, flapping a pair of bat wings and landed gently on the soft road.
The Great Succubus: Shimohira Reika.
"Linghua, as I said before, is there any problem?"
Xia Ping Linghua looked around at the nearly a thousand acres of land, lifted up her long hair and bit her lip: "My "Green Prayer" can indeed accelerate the growth of plants, but I have never tried to produce such a large area at the same time. I'm afraid that my My mental strength may not be able to hold on..."
"It's okay, I'll help you."
Luo Jie's whole body suddenly surged with red light, and as two flesh-like blood-colored wings bloomed on his shoulder blades, an unimaginable amount of magic power spurted out instantly.
The magical storm set off continued to spread outwards, creating circles of green waves in the rice fields.
Ten times the magic power——"Red Wing Formation"!
Massive amounts of magic power continued to pour into "Shimohira Reika" through invisible magic channels. Even with her physique of great succubus blood, it was difficult for her to withstand ten times the amount of magic power poured into her body. The transformation was unexpectedly impossible. With a controlled trigger, the long ink-like hair was instantly dyed into a gorgeous emerald color.
"Night Dire Lord, I feel that the magic power has broken through the shackles of the prayer technique. Now I can use the prayer technique alone! - My oath will make Wei Ya's wish come true!"
Under the fluttering emerald-colored hair, a bright beam of light rose from the whole body of "Xiaping Linghua", spreading out a gorgeous halo of nearly a kilometer in radius, and dots of golden light fell, like a beautiful light rain falling from the sky. .
Moisturized by the surging magic power contained in the light rain, the newly transplanted seedlings grew upwards like hundreds of times faster, and new leaves shot out one by one at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Buds germinate, bloom, and finally produce heavy seeds at the top.
The warm spring breeze blew by, and waves of rice swayed in the field of vision. A bright golden color was dazzling among the green seedlings surrounding it.
More than a hundred farmers fell to the ground with their knees weak, their eyes flashing with fear even more than surprise at the harvest.
"Okay, the crops are ripe." Luo Jie turned around and walked past the sweaty old man kneeling on the ground, patting him on the shoulder, "As promised, triple the wages, let's work."
Is it unexpected to update so early? I'm surprised too...please give me a vote.
