Wangjiayi got its name from this Wangjiazhuang.
Wangjiazhuang is a quite large village located at the foot of a hill.
Xiayuanzhou is an alluvial plain in the Wu State and can be regarded as an important granary of the Wu State.
Therefore, there are many people in the villages here, the fields are not abandoned, and the crops in the fields are in good condition.
This kind of good is compared to Ningguo.
When Li Chenan looked at the green rice fields in the endless drizzle, he couldn't help but think of Ning Guo.
Two years ago, from Ningguo to Jiangnan, I saw many villages that were almost deserted, and many fields that were covered with weeds.
It’s not just fertile farmland in a great location outside of Yujing City.
From Guangling City to Zhouzhuang, the villages passing through also lost sight of smoke due to banditry.
Under the heavy snow, there are all dead grass!
Jiangnan will be better, at least the fields in Zhouzhuang are not too much abandoned.
Some places in Shuzhou will be better. Because of the management of Zhongli Mansion, that place has not been affected by bandits, but it is limited to the line from Lizhou to Chongqing Mansion.
The rest of the place is almost barbaric.
His state of mind at that time was completely different from now.
At that time, he only thought about being able to cure Zhongli Ruoshui and live his happy life with Zhongli Ruoshui and Xiao Baozi.
As for how Ning Guo was doing, and how Ning Guo's people were doing... he really didn't think about it that much.
But now he had to think!
He is also well aware of Ningguo's problems.
Not just a poor person, but also the most critical person in such an era!
He urgently needs to solve the population problem. Starting from industry and commerce, it will have a better effect on the people in economically prosperous areas.
But for the remote areas of Ningguo, such as Shuzhou, Lingdong Road, and the vast Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture in the Northern Desert, no businessmen are willing to go to these places either due to geographical constraints or threats from neighboring countries. Open workshops locally.
Merchants will open their shops in those places, but they will not be the focus of their business.
Without workshops, the problem of making money for the people in those places cannot be solved.
Those ordinary people can only rely on a few acres of thin farmland, and they can only rely on whether God is in a good mood and whether they can give them a bite of food throughout the year.
To solve the problems in these places, the court needs to invest in workshops to stimulate the economy in the early stage.
This plan has taken shape in his mind, but it will take some time to implement it.
So, fields still need to be planted.
What to plant and how to plant it can solve the problem of food and clothing for the people. This is the first question before Li Chenan.
Old man Wang did not expect that the young master would call him.
He turned around cautiously and saw the young man walking towards him holding an umbrella.
Qiu Balou looked at Li Chenan's back from a distance, thought for a while, turned around and walked towards Amu.
He needs to get to know Amu.
Amu needed to take him to Li Chenan's side.
Because he was very curious about what the future emperor of Ning State would talk to such an old farmer.
This is important.
This will allow him to better understand Li Chenan's character and Li Chenan's possible future policy policies.
…
…
Old man Wang, carrying a hoe, looked at the young master approaching with great fear.
Those four fairy-like girls were following behind the young master... He seemed to have missed the point. Although the young master was dressed simply, he seemed to be the real master of this group of people.
The richest person I have ever dealt with in my life is the county magistrate, and I can see him twice a year during tax collection.
This young master is new to me. Could it be that he is the young master of a wealthy family in the state capital?
"Sir...what's the matter?"
Li Chenan grinned: "What's your surname, sir?"
"Ah, the old man's surname is Wang, and his surname is a new word."
"Oh, Uncle Wang, my surname is Li."
Li Chenan pointed at the rice field and asked, "How many fields have you planted?"
Perhaps seeing that Master Li was quite kind and not as domineering as the rumored young master, Wang Xin felt a lot more at ease.
"Back to Mr. Li, the villain has cultivated thirty acres of land and another ten acres of land."
"Oh, how many people are there in the family?"
"There are seven people. The villain's wife passed away early and left behind two sons. Thanks to the emperor's blessing, the two sons have married, and they have added a grandson and a granddaughter."
"It's just that my grandson and granddaughter are still young. On weekdays, my son and daughter-in-law are taking care of these fields. I tend to take care of my grandson and granddaughter more often."
"No, it's raining today. The two wives finished work earlier, so I came out to take a look..."
Wang Xin raised his head and looked at the sky, and added with some worry: "The seedlings are just about to grow, so they are afraid of a heavy rain... If they are washed away by the discount, this year's harvest may be reduced by 30%!"
Li Chenan nodded and pointed at the rice field: "Some of the water in the field must be released."
"Well, I'm afraid the heavy rain is coming. I have to go to the slope to call my two sons, so I won't accompany the young master."
"Hold on!"
Li Chenan turned around and saw Amu and Wang Zhenghaoxuan walking towards here with two teenagers.
The two teenagers didn't know each other.
Li Chenan waved to Wang Zheng Haoxuan, "Ask Zhou Zheng to bring a few people."
Wang Zhenghaoxuan was startled: "Fight?"
"For what it's worth, call a few people to help!"
"oh……"
Wang Zhenghaoxuan carried his sword on his back, turned around and flew over, startling Wang Xin.
"Son..."
Li Chenan waved his hand, "Let's go."
"...Where to go?"
"Sit down at home."
"...This, this little man's house is a mess, young master..."
"It doesn't matter, my house is a mess too!"
"In this way, after arriving at your house, you ask your two sons to come over. My people will listen to their orders and see where the canals need to be dug. The more people there are, the faster the work will be done."
"It's getting dark now, and heavy rain is probably coming. It would be good to drain more water out."
Wang Xin moved his lips, but he refused in his heart.
After all, he is an honest farmer and has never had the experience of dealing with this noble person, nor does he have the desire to get acquainted with him.
Grow your own fields, pay your own share of taxes and grain, and live a life of poverty and happiness.
Helping out when you are busy, and taking care of your grandchildren when you are free, this kind of life is the most suitable for you.
But he didn't dare refuse.
After all, that boy just now can fly!
He is a knight-errant who travels around the world.
I heard that this kind of person kills people without blinking an eye!
Don't offend them!
"Then, if Mr. Li doesn't dislike it... please follow me to your home and sit down."
"Please lead the way!"
In the pouring rain, on the muddy field ridge, Wang Xin led a group of people towards Wangjiazhuang with great uneasiness.
There are some farmers in the fields.
At this moment, everyone straightened up and looked at the people walking along the way!
Of course they knew Wang Xin, but they didn't dare to ask him at this moment.
These people did not wear official uniforms, but they were quite brightly dressed and held conspicuous floral paper umbrellas. It was obvious that Wang Xin did not have such wealthy relatives.
So who are these people?
Amu, Qiu Balou and Zhuang Dingchun walked at the back.
At this moment, Qiu Balou asked in a low voice: "Senior Brother Amu, do you know what the regent wants to do?"
Amu's knife-like face looked at Li Chenan's back and replied coolly:
"He once said, go among the masses!"
