The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Chapter 335 335 Good Harvest, Poverty is Glorious

Zhaocai came out from behind Zhang's house and returned to the Gongyuan. Liu Changmin looked at him and asked eagerly: "Why have you been there for so long? Have you seen who it is?"

"Master Gu, who do you think the lame man is?" Zhaocai looked at Liu Changmin with a gloating expression on his face.

Liu Changmin looked at him and smiled curiously: "Who is it? You kid, please stop showing off."

Zhaocai smiled proudly: "It's Zhang Guisheng and Zhang Xiucai, I followed him..."

"Oh! I heard people say that they met Zhang Defa a few years ago. I didn't expect that he was already in such a state of desolation. Zhang Guisheng's legs were also lame. It's probably because Zhang Defa's family was too ruthless in doing things and damaged their moral character. Now the retribution will be on the descendants. It's gone." Liu Changmin said with emotion, thinking about Li Shan's life-saving rescue and leaving an orphan before his death, and what Zhang Defa did to Li Yu's siblings.

After hearing this, Zhaocai said with deep emotion: "Then his family is really repaid in this world."

Liu Changmin nodded, "Yes, you and Alei go have something to eat, I'll stay here to guard you."

Zhaocai responded cheerfully, "Sure, it will take several days until the young master finishes the exam! My wife is probably worried in Yunzhou too!"

Li Yu had been thinking about Li Qing's exam all day long. As soon as Zhou Jia came back from the Yamen after finishing his work at Gongyuan, Li Yu worriedly talked to Zhou Jia about Li Qing's exam.

Zhou Jia smiled and comforted her, "I asked someone about it. Among the examiners who went to Tongzhou to supervise the exam this year, it should be no problem for Ah Qing to pass the exam. If he has a good mentality, he should be in the top of the exam."

Seeing Zhou Jia's confident look, Li Yu felt relieved and concentrated on harvesting the crops.

The weather in Yunzhou has been sunny, and everyone went out early and came back late for half a month. Finally, in mid-August, all the rice was taken home to dry. The Yang family and a dozen people from the Shi family helped until the completion.

Li Yu asked Ruyi to buy some meat, sugar, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, and cloth, and deliver them to the two homes. The Shi family came in large numbers. Father Shi looked at the things piled on the car and pushed away with a red face. He refused, "Manager Zhou, there are too many things, we can't take them. We just did some hard work. How can we let you spend so much money?"

"Dad Shi, you can't say that. My wife said that the autumn harvest work is the most tiring. This thing is just a little thought of our master and my wife." Ruyi smiled and moved the things into the house with Ah Wei.

Father Shi had no choice but to take it with both hands, and said with a blushing face: "Manager Zhou, please go back and tell the master and his wife that they can't eat so much for nothing. When the corn on the farm is ripe, I will take the children to help. Just don't eat anymore." You can't give us anything anymore. You see, you have a good life in Zhuangzi, and none of them have gained weight, not to mention they have gained weight."

"You're so polite. Your help is what we wish for." Ruyi cupped her hands and said with a smile.

Father Shi smiled honestly, "Help you as much as we help ourselves, and we can also learn farming skills from you!"

Ruyi also smiled and responded, "Whatever you want to learn, just come to Zhuangzi and ask."

"Hey!" Father Shi agreed and sent Ruyi and Awei away. When he returned home, he remembered the scene when harvesting rice on the village, and sighed to his sons: "Boss, second child, third child, think about it. , we have been cultivating the land for most of our lives, and this is the first time we have seen fields with such good harvests. We must learn from others in the future."

The three sons of the Shi family responded respectfully, "Dad, we understand."

After the rice was taken home, Zhuangzi was busy plowing and harrowing the ground again to prepare for sowing winter wheat. The corn in the cornfield will be harvested in another month.

After Zhou Jia and Chu Feng met and discussed, they bought the slum area in Xicheng and recorded it in the name of Sihai Bank. As long as the bank was there, they would not be afraid that someone would dare to have other ideas.

After the deed was signed, Zhou Jia told Wu Tingxian about the land in the slum area of ​​Xicheng that Sihai Qianzhuang bought and planned to renovate Xicheng. Wu Tingxian also knew in his heart whose property Sihai Qianzhuang belonged to, and he had no idea about the relationship between Zhou Jia and Sihai Qianzhuang. I was a little surprised to be so close, and I was secretly glad that I didn't go against Zhou Jia in the first place. I bowed my hand to Zhou Jia and saluted, "Master Zhou, it will be beneficial to people's livelihood if you can transform that dirty place. What about the people there?”

Zhou Jia told Wu Tingxian the implementation method he had discussed with Li Yu. Wu Tingxian applauded and said, "Okay, okay, this is a good thing that benefits the people."

After discussion, the two decided that after the slum area was renovated, the rent would be set at eight cents per month, and the tenants would not be allowed to sublet after they move out.

Wu Tingxian enthusiastically wrote a notice and handed it to Liu Yi to take the clerks and government servants to the slum area to register and publicize it.

Liu Yi took the government officials and clerks to the Xicheng slum area and posted notices at several entrances. The government officials stood in front of the notice and read loudly that the imperial court was to demolish the slum area and prepare for reconstruction. The existing residents would be given priority to rent,·· ·······Residents in the shacks can also come to work on the construction site in exchange for future lease terms.

When the residents in the shack saw the people from the yamen reading loudly, they all gathered around and started talking. The boldest ones raised their voices and asked: "Master, will you really rent it to us again? Will we?" If you move away, you can’t come back?”

Liu Yi pointed to the notice and the scribe and said to them: "Don't worry, everyone, Mr. Zhou has reported your situation to the emperor. After learning about it, the emperor ordered to build this place and rent it to you. Every month... "

After hearing this, the residents in the slum area shouted excitedly: "Did everyone hear this? Even the emperor knows that our life is difficult."

"I heard it, the emperor has decreed to build a house for us."

"It's not building a house for us, it's building a house to rent to us."

"Then the emperor will be our landlord from now on?"

"Are you kidding me? Are you going to see where you can rent a house for a few cents a month?"

As they talked, a group of people cried bitterly and knelt down, kowtowed to the mountain and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor..."

Some people even kowtow and think to themselves: Even the emperor knows that we are poor, so being poor can give you face!

After Liu Yi and the two scribes got up, they shouted to everyone: "Come here, register the number of households here, and register the workers here. Your Excellency has said that those who come to work in this area will be given priority. Remember, everyone." Make too many reports and don’t make up random things and make false claims. Old Liu, I know your situation very well! Those who make too many reports, make false claims and make false claims will go to jail!”

Everyone happily queued up to register, but some people who wanted to impersonate some self-interested people quietly left after hearing this.

Two days later, Zhou Jia, Wu Ting and Chu Feng arrived at the shack area. The craftsmen and odd-job workers holding hoes and shovels started to dismantle the shacks at Zhou Jia's order. In the future, the dirty shacks were pushed to the ground. A few days later, a wide piece of land appeared in front of everyone. After the craftsmen measured and mapped it, construction began, and the wood and bricks were transported to the shack area by the carload.

When the residents in the slum area saw the bricks and timber, they cheered in unison: "Look, everyone, we also have tile-roofed houses to live in."
