Zhouzhuang is not because the owner of Zhuangzi is named Zhou. To be honest, the old people who have worked in Zhuangzi for more than ten years don’t know who the owner of Zhuangzi is. They only know that the biggest one in Zhuangzi is Zhouzhuangtou, and their family
The food and clothing of the young and old are all decided by Zhou Zhuangtou.
As for who the owner of Zhuangzi is, no one cares. Anyway, the owner of Zhuangzi never comes to this Zhuangzi. In the past few years, occasionally the stewards of the master's house in the city would come to the Zhuangzi for a walk. However,
, in the past few years, almost no one has come to the city.
Sometimes, the farmers who work in the village wonder if Zhou Zhuangtou bought the village. Otherwise, how could there be no one in charge of the village for several years?
In fact, not only do they have such thoughts, but even Zhou Daquan himself sometimes comes up with such thoughts. Perhaps, one day, Zhuangzi will be forgotten by his master, and Zhuangzi will become Zhou Daquan.
Yes.
After all, Zhou Daquan has experienced more than one or two masters, and there are even some he has never met. Zhuangzi's masters have always been changed. I heard that the previous masters had a bad end. If he
If you really have this intention, it is not impossible to spend some money and get a land deed from the county on the grounds that you have no owner's land.
Of course, he just had such an idea. If he dared to do this, he first had to make sure that he, the master of Zhuangzi, had suffered a misfortune and had no time to take care of this little Zhuangzi.
It's a pity that this news is not something that he, the head of the village, can find out.
Last year's harvest, according to Zhuangzi's practice, after the beginning of spring, new seeds will be planted and handed over. Now they are all in the warehouse. These days, Zhou Daquan has been very troubled.
He hoped to see the steward of the owner's house in the city holding the land deed appear at the door of the village and transport the harvest from the village. However, he also had a vague thought of what might happen and did not want to see his own property at all.
A stranger appeared at Zhuangzi's door.
But some things were not based on his will, and the little thoughts he had hidden in his heart could not become reality after all.
As soon as he knew it, the people in the village had already started working. He was used to drinking two taels in the morning, but when he just picked up the wine glass, he heard someone running quickly, saying that there were several large cars coming outside.
There were many people at the gate of Zhuangzi who asked the head of Zhuangzi to go out and talk, saying that someone from the master's house in the city was coming.
Hearing these words, Zhou Daquan suddenly felt the aroma of wine drifting through his nose was dull. He sighed softly, put down his wine glass and ran out.
"Are you Zhuangtou!?"
In front of the big car outside the door, a very young and clean young man was standing there with his hands behind his back. When he saw him coming out, the young man smiled slightly and handed him a badge: "Do you recognize this?"
He took the badge and looked at it carefully, his face suddenly became a little ugly: "Are you...?"
"My surname is Jiang. They all call me Mr. Jiang. You can also call me that in the future!"
"No, Mr. Jiang, weren't you sent by Mr. Lin?"
"I don't know which Mr. Lin you are talking about, but as the head of the village, you should know that the owner of this village is not Mr. Lin!" Jiang Wan took back his badge: "This village is the property of His Highness King Xin, and
At present, this Zhuangzi has been assigned to the Tingyu Tower of the Prince's Mansion!"
He pointed to his nose: "And I am the steward of Tingyu Tower, Jiang Wan!"
"This, I, I...?"
"No need to talk about me. If you still have questions, go directly to the Tenth Prince's Mansion and ask. You always know the people who are in charge of your village!"
"Well, I really don't know who to look for!" When Zhou Daquan heard the word "Prince's Mansion", he was immediately frightened. What the other party said was impressive, and he had a waist card, so he already believed it in his heart.
Ninety percent, just look at the dress and demeanor of the person in front of me. If he is not in charge of the palace, who would come to a remote place like Zhouzhuang if he has nothing to do?
"Open the door and let us in!" Jiang Wan waved her hand, and Zhou Daquan hurriedly asked the dealer to open the door. Two large cars and more than ten people slowly drove into the village.
"Leave two people to watch the carriage, while the others look around and get familiar with the surrounding environment!"
Jiang Wan looked at the people around him and said to Gao Jin behind him. Gao Jin nodded and led the people to disperse.
"Last year's harvest is all in the warehouse. I'm going to get the ledger right now!" Zhou Daquan bent down beside Jiang Wan and said, "According to the usual practice, except for what is retained by Zhuangzi and distributed to farmers, everything is there!"
"Don't be in a hurry!" Jiang Wan looked at a small table under the eaves of a house not far away, but there was no one there. He walked over casually: "We'll talk about the harvest in the warehouse later. When I get here, I'll see
After learning about Zhuangzi’s situation, didn’t Zhuangzi say that there are 300 acres of land and more than 70 people in the village? With so many houses, it seems that there are more than 70 people!”
"The steward doesn't know something!" Zhou Daquan hurriedly replied: "Last year our harvest was pretty good, but it's hard to say in other places. In the winter, the village housed some people who really couldn't survive. It seems that
Get up and there will be more people in Zhuangzi!"
As if he was afraid that Jiang Wan would be angry, he immediately explained: "Master Steward, this is what we Zhuangzi have done over the years to attract refugees to serve as farmers. It is nothing more than paying them some grain in advance and waiting until they clear the land to plant it.
We still have something to earn from food!"
"People have gained, and land has also gained!" Jiang Wan nodded slightly: "These refugees have a chance to live, and Zhuangzi has more fields. It is good for everyone, and it is not a bad thing!"
"Yes, yes, the steward is a sensible person!"
"How many people and land are there in Zhuangzi now?" Jiang Wan asked with a smile.
Zhou Daquan hesitated for a moment, but decided to answer honestly: "Including women, children and children, there are probably more than 200 people. I haven't counted the old fields and newly opened fields in Zhuangzi carefully, but there are more here and there.
There are definitely one or two hundred acres!"
"It seems that you have managed this village well!" Jiang Wan smiled and nodded: "Then the farming in the village will be the same as it was before, and it will be the same in the future. We will continue as usual, and you will still be the head of the village!"
"Thank you, Lord Steward. Thank you, Lord Steward!"
"However, since the palace has allocated this village to our Tingyu Tower, it is inevitable that the people in the building will come here to do some things. Therefore, I am afraid that I will have to work hard for you in the coming days..."
"It should, it should!" Zhou Daquan nodded repeatedly. It was obvious that this young junior would be his immediate boss from now on, and he would not dare to say anything wrong.
"Well, first go and make some clean rooms for us to live in temporarily. Then you can find some people to build some new houses in the village. See what you need. Tell Miss Su directly in the building. She will
I’ll help you do it!”
"Which Miss Su...?" Zhou Daquan was a little confused.
"No, that's her!" Jiang Wan pointed to Su Qianqian who slowly got off the cart and looked around curiously: "If it's not your Zhuangzi's expenses, just ask her for everything!"
"Master Steward, what building in the palace did you just say we were in?"
"Tingyulou!!" Jiang Wan said word by word.
"Is that little one also from Tingyulou now?" Zhou Daquan felt that this name seemed a bit familiar, especially after seeing Miss Su, he felt that this name should not be the same as his Zhuangzi.
Get involved.
"You!" Jiang Wan shook his head: "Of course not, you are the head of Zhouzhuang, just be your head. If you want to enter our Tingyu Tower, it will not be easy for you..."
