Chapter 288: Ripping Bamboo Poles
The original big families are now in a stage of anxiety. {First Reading}
Time is pressing, manpower is short, and there is no good crop in the empty land, but it can't be put back in the warehouse.
Du Xian walked around the hall, no longer a little as leisurely as before, since he received the news from the county in the morning, his head has been two circles bigger, their family in Sanyuan can't say the most, but there are more than 800 hectares, only with the five or six hundred tenant farmers under his hand, want to take back all the millet in the field in two days, undoubtedly so the fool said that he can take back half of it, he will laugh secretly.
"Hasn't Du Ji come back yet?" I don't know how many times, Du Xian opened his mouth and asked Du Zhigui on the side again.
Seeing that time was passing little by little, and immediately, this morning had passed, if Du Ji could not find more tenant farmers, the loss of their Du family this season would have to be at least 800 to 1,000 yuan.
A thousand, not much, but it is enough for their Du family for two years, if they can be saved, who would want to let them go to waste?
"Not yet, Dad," Du Zhigui glanced up at his father, and said softly: "All the tenant farmers in the county were requisitioned by Gongsun Mansion and Yang Mansion yesterday, and now if you want to find it again, you have to go to some villages outside the county, even if you can find some, it is a drop in the bucket, so, Dad, you don't have much hope." Now in the entire county, except for the two mansions of Gongsun and the Yang family, which household is not like this, it is useless to be anxious. ”
Du Zhigui's expression was also a little depressed, thinking about when he was drinking with Gongsun Helan yesterday, when he was told about it by Gongsun Helan. He also opened his mouth to laugh at Gongsun Helan twice, and when he heard a gossip from others, he had to risk reducing production and put the grain into the warehouse in advance, isn't this sick?
But now, the news of this world came a little faster, and it came to them in only one afternoon.
That Liu Yiyi, how did he know that it was going to rain in the past two days. {First reading} is not his ability to observe the heavens. Is it still more powerful than those volcanic orders in the court? Although I have doubts in my heart. However, Du Gui no longer has any interest in getting to the bottom of the matter, and now it is the right thing to seize the time to recover the loss.
"Master, master, hurry up and go with the old slave, it's too late to go!" While the father and son were talking, Du Ji, the old man, blew from outside the door like a gust of wind, grabbed Du Xian's arm and ran out. Du Xian and Du Zhigui are a little confused, Du Ji, the old man, is he crazy?
"Azi, what the hell is going on, you have made it clear, let's not be too late to leave." Du Xian stopped, his face a little unhappy. Du Ji is the old housekeeper of Du Mansion. I have never done that transgression, so how can I be so ignorant of etiquette today? If it is seen by outsiders, what kind of system will it become?
"No, no. Uncle Ji, have you found a tenant farmer? Looking at Du Ji's eager and excited expression, Du Zhigui seemed to see some clues, so he opened his mouth to ask Du Ji.
"I found it, a total of three hundred and forty-two tenant farmers, and they all brought their own tools, and now they are at the north gate of Sanyuan County, but, master, young master, if you go late, I'm afraid you will be snatched away." Du Ji also realized that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding Du Xian, and said to Du Xian and Du Zhigui urgently.
"Three hundred and forty-two? So much? Where did it come from, you know? At first hearing, Du Xian was also pleasantly surprised, but now he took Du Ji's arm and hurried out, asking Du Ji as he walked.
Three hundred and forty-two, plus his more than five hundred, if you grasp it tightly, the crops in the field will be safe.
"It's a native of Liufu in Gutian Village, and the leader is Liu Wuchen, the housekeeper of Liufu." Du Ji opened his mouth and replied: "Master, we have to hurry, when the old slave came back just now, many households had already heard the letter and rushed to the north gate, and it was too late, I am afraid that it will be gone." ”
"Willow Ichichi?" Du Xian was stunned, and even if he understood that Liu Yiyi's kid was here to rob. {First Reading}
"Okay, Aji, we don't have to worry, those tenant farmers can't run away before these big families in the county arrive." Du Xian let go of Du Ji's arm, his expression and footsteps slowed down, Liu Yiyi sent a tenant farmer at this time, in addition to wanting to knock out some spare money, what else would he plan, that kid would pick the opportunity.
"Aji, you go to the account room to get a hundred pieces of silver, and I will go to the north gate with my master." Du Xian opened his mouth and instructed Du Ji, the salary that he usually can't use for ten times, now give him a hundred times, it should be enough, right?
"Dad, what are you doing with so much money? Hire those tenant farmers, where is there so much needed? After Du Ji left, Du Zhigui asked Du Xian puzzled.
"A hundred guan is a lot, but compared to the thousand guan in the ground, how much do you think it is?" Du Xian glanced at his son, and thought in his heart that Liu Yiyi was afraid that he had also seen this, and he dared to come to extort bamboo so blatantly
One hundred, maybe it will be a little insufficient, thinking of several other families, the Zhao family, the Li family, the Wang family, if you really want to grab it, Du Xian's heart is a little bottomless, a hundred guan, not only their Du family can afford it.
In a small teahouse in Sanyuan County, Liu Wuchen was sitting there leisurely drinking tea, after coming to Sanyuan County, he fully understood the meaning of their young master's phrase 'in short supply', he had only sat here for less than a moment, and there were already no less than ten people asking him.
This time, it should be able to make some money, Liu Wuchen glanced at the more than three hundred tenant farmers who were sitting in the shade of the trees at the city gate resting and chatting, and laughed softly, the longer he followed Liu Yiyi, the more he admired the methods of their young master.
Although this time I came to Sanyuan, I had a bit of a knock-off meaning, but it was rare to be able to make others scramble to be knocked out, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be knocked out.
'The whole is rented, and the bid is rented, and the one with the highest price wins. Thinking of the criteria set by their young master, Liu Wuchen chuckled again, this time, I don't know which family would be unlucky and lucky to make this bid? He was looking forward to it, and he didn't know if the final price could meet the expected standards of their young master.
"Steward Liu, the news has already spread, I think it won't be long before the heads of other big families in the county will come except for Gongsun Mansion and Yang Mansion." Ma Cheng came out of the county seat, ran to the teahouse, and reported to Liu Wuchen.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, let's sit down and have a cup of tea." Liu Wuchen chuckled and nodded, inviting Ma Cheng to sit down.
"Thank you, Steward Liu." Ma Cheng was not polite, he sat opposite Liu Wuchen, picked up the tea bowl in front of him and poured it violently, and after running around the city, he was really thirsty.
"Steward Liu," putting down the tea bowl, Ma Cheng poured another cup for himself, and asked Liu Wuchen in a low voice, "How much money do you say we can bring back to the young master this time?" When I sent the message, I saw that the people in those families were like grasping a life-saving straw, and they were very enthusiastic about me, and if we took the opportunity to ask for more, I think they would not refuse. ”
"Oh?" Liu Wuchen glanced at Ma Cheng with some surprise, this kid also has some vision, Ma Cheng is also an old man in Liufu, and he will be on the side when he competes for a while, so Liu Wuchen has no intention of hiding something from him, and gently stretched out three fingers at Ma Cheng.
"Three, thirty?!" Ma Cheng pointed to Liu Wuchen's hand and opened his mouth wide in surprise, can you earn thirty yuan by doing farm work for two days? This is too exaggerated, could it be that those old men from big families are all fools?
"It's not thirty, it's three hundred." Seeing Ma Cheng's appearance, Liu Wuchen couldn't help but shake his head lightly, and said to him softly: "The price that the young master predicted is three hundred guan, if it is only thirty guan, the young master won't even look at it." ”
"Three, hundred?" Ma Cheng felt like he was dreaming, two days of farm work, three hundred times, is their young master crazy?
"Hehe, good! It's worthy of my virtuous nephew! Have vision and courage! Gongsun Wenda happily slapped the table, and after listening to Liu Wuchen's letter from Sanyuan, Gongsun Wenda immediately thought of the purpose of their coming.
Taking advantage of the fire to rob, they are coming to make money.
"Although the money I make is not much, I can make 200 to 300 yuan in two days, but it is also a good business." Yang Bofang took a sip of the sour plum soup, felt the coolness contained in the soup, and said softly to Gongsun Wenda.
"Well, there are two hundred to three hundred profits in two days, which can be regarded as a huge profit, but this time the old man Nadu is afraid that he will bleed heavily, hehe." Gongsun Wenda chuckled a little with schadenfreude, Sanyuan County, in addition to their Gongsun Mansion and Yang Mansion, the Du family has the most fields, and the one who is most likely to pay a high price is afraid that he is the only one.
"Three hundred for one thousand, he doesn't suffer, speaking of which, this time it is also thanks to a message from a virtuous nephew in advance, otherwise, now our old brothers are afraid that they are also in a state of anxiety, and now among the three plains, I am afraid that many people are cursing you and me." Yang Bofang and Gongsun Wen glanced at each other, and both laughed at the same time.
"Why don't we go to the North City Gate in a while and join in the fun?" Gongsun Wenda crossed Erlang's legs and leisurely suggested to Yang Bofang.
"It's just a matter of attracting jealousy if you go, so forget it." Yang Bofang shook his head lightly, he didn't have the penchant of Gongsun Wenda who loved to watch dramas-
I heard that that, it seems, from today until the fifth of next month, a monthly pass is counted as two, that, that, um, ah, um
