Chapter 290： The more familiar you are, the more ruthless you will be!

Chapter 290 The more familiar you are, the more ruthless you will be!

Li Zhensheng nodded, made a quick calculation in his mind, and said: "Master Hou, the Wang family has a lot of land, and only two hundred acres is too cheap for them. I think it can be up to five hundred acres.

"And I know that the Wang family has a large village in Yunhe Town, fifty miles southwest of the new capital. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has 500 acres of fertile land in the middle. This village has brought the most output to the Wang family, and it is the village that the Wang family values ​​the most. I I’ve been there twice before when I was working for the Wang family, and I’m very familiar with it. If you’re growing corn and potatoes, that Zhuangzi is the most suitable.”

"The Wang family still has such a good place?" Mr. Hou was also surprised and turned to look at Ye Shan. "Send a message to the Wang family. If the deed of the Zhuangzi house in Yunhe Town is sent, Wang Laosan can be released from prison."

“Yes, Mr. Hou.” Ye Shan turned around and left.

Li Zhensheng suggested again: "Master Hou, in order to keep it secret, the Wang family on the village must not be able to use it anymore, and 500 acres of fertile land requires twenty households and a hundred people to cultivate it. No matter what, Master Hou, we The village can’t spare so many people for the time being, so do you want to find someone to help?”

Mr. Hou raised his head, looked at him and smiled, "You mean...Liu Zhiheng?"

Li Zhensheng also smiled, "Yes, Lord Marquis, Liu Zhiheng looks greedy and greedy, but he is very measured in his actions and smart and loyal. Moreover, the Liu family is also a local wealthy family. Even if the Wang family is unwilling to do so, they will not dare to take it easy. Offended. After you get the farm, you can put it in my name. The Wang family will only think that the Marquis is venting his anger on me, so he asked for this farm.

"I'll let out the news again and say that I have sold the farm to the Liu family and redeemed the shop and Sihaiju that I sold earlier. In this way, the Liu family will send people to farm the land and take care of the village, and no one will be suspicious. I will also go to the south to have a look. If there are any suitable goods, I can reopen the shop and restaurant business when I come back to add some income to the family. "

Master Hou nodded after hearing this, and he admired this elder brother's mind even more.

In this way, it seems to be a simple exchange, but everyone gets what he deserves, and it also covers the eyes and ears of the outside world.

The only question is, if the Liu family provides people to help mediate, what benefits will they get?

Although the old man of the Liu family seemed to be a royalist, he never returned to the court and did not clearly stand by the emperor's side to help fight against the queen mother.

He had to think carefully. If he could handle it well this time and someone could help plant the corn and potatoes, he would be able to help the emperor completely conquer the Liu family...

With the first snowfall, the weather became completely cold.

Children from every household were forced to put on their coats and trousers reluctantly as their old lady held their ears and shouted at them.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, the children picked up their schoolbags and ran to the new school.

Uncle Zhao and the village chief were walking around the village with their hands behind their backs, and were almost hit by a naughty boy running wildly.

Uncle Zhao caught the naughty boy, patted him on the back, and scolded him with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? The school is so close, I can still leave you behind!"

The naughty boy made a sad face and bowed his head to beg for mercy, "Grandpa Zhao, let me go to school quickly. If I'm late, sir, I'll be beaten."

After saying that, he jumped away like a rabbit.

Uncle Zhao and the village chief both laughed, "Once the school starts, the boys have a place to gather together, and the village becomes quieter."

"Yes, but that's fine. Children should learn to write and learn rules, so that they can be successful in the future."

"The day before yesterday, I met Li Zheng from the big locust tree outside the village and asked about this matter. I listened to his suggestion and wanted to send the child to study, but I was confused."

"That's it," the village chief pondered, "I'll get together with everyone tonight and see what Zhensheng and Laoer have to say."

"Yes, we are old, so we can still protect the village. In the long run, we are not as thoughtful and prudent as the second brother and the others. It would be better to ask them more." Uncle Zhao nodded and said.

But the two had a good discussion, but the three surrounding villages couldn't wait any longer.

The new school is beautifully built, and all the friends who were naughty together are now sitting in it reading and writing.

The boys in these three villages were envious. They would go home, roll around and cry, and also want to study.

The family feels sorry for the child, not to mention that studying is a good thing and cannot prevent the child from making progress.

As a result, many people went to their respective Li Zheng homes and asked for help to intercede. Li Zheng also wants to take this opportunity to get closer to Suijintan. There will only be benefits and no harm in the future.

They chose a day to visit the new village together. The three of them did not bring anything valuable, but only prepared a bundle of yellow tobacco leaves, an old hen, a basket of eggs, and a jar of good wine.

Just in time, Uncle Zhao and the village chief were blocked on the road. They exchanged a few words with each other and then went to the village chief's house to drink and chat in a lively manner.

Between young and old men, as long as the wine bowl is raised, there is nothing that cannot be said.

Li Zheng from Dahuaishu Village took Uncle Zhao's hand, wishing he could burst into tears, and directly played the emotional card, "Old brother, we know that because of Mr. Li's incident, the two boys in our village made a big mistake. But they have been dead for more than ten years, and no matter how big the grievances are, they have passed. If the Li family is still angry, I will go over and kowtow to them, as long as Mr. Da calms down.

"But we must not stop the young boys in our village from studying just because of this. We are all ordinary people, and we just hope that our children will learn some skills and make it easier to support our families in the future. Don't you think so? "

The other two are not far behind.

“That’s right, old brothers, you don’t know, we just dig some food in the soil to survive all year round. Seeing your village so prosperous, our mouths are watering with envy.”

“Now we don’t look forward to anything else. We just want to live with our neighbors. Can we also take care of the children in our village and give them a chance to learn skills?”

The village chief and Uncle Zhao were complained, flattered and begged by the three old men in turn. In the end, they couldn't bear it anymore and agreed in a daze.

As the sun set, Sanli went home happily. The village chief and Uncle Zhao also sobered up, and then they felt a little rash.

The school was built with the dividend money from the Marquis, who is the eldest son of the Li family, so that the children in the village can have a future.

Now that they have just agreed to take in children from other villages, it is a bit bad no matter how you think about it.

So the two old men quickly went to Li's house.

The Li family was busy cooking. The Marquis took Jiayin's little hand and walked in the yard. When he saw the village chief and Uncle Zhao coming over, he kept them to eat.

The village chief and Uncle Zhao had something on their minds, so they didn't eat much. After they had to clear the dining table, they started talking about school affairs with red faces.

“Drinking will delay things, but we can’t drink anymore in the future.”

“Yes, I was fed a few bowls of food, and my mind became confused, so I agreed easily.”

The two old men blamed themselves, hanging their heads like children who made mistakes.

The Marquis and the Li family hurriedly persuaded them, for fear that they would get angry and fall ill again.

Soon, the children were sent to play in the side room, and Li Zhensheng said: "Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Zhao, if you can't come today, the second child and I will also discuss this matter with you.

“At the school, we will definitely accept children from the other three villages, but they will be tested and taught, and we cannot accept as many as they come. In addition, after the spring starts, we will plant cold melons and cantaloupes, and we will also bring these three villages with us.”

The two old men were relieved at first, but when they heard that the cold melons and cantaloupes had to be divided up, they became anxious.

“This can’t be done. Cold melons and cantaloupes are the cornucopia of our village. Why do we just give them to everyone so casually?”

Li Zhensheng quickly waved his hand to signal them to calm down, and finally whispered a few words.

The two old men didn't react for a long time, and they were so shocked that they could put an egg in their mouths.
