"Then the matter is settled." Old Man Li finalized the foundation and added a hammer on it. "A few days ago, it was inconvenient for the farm to replace the fields for the autumn harvest. Now that the autumn harvest is over, Feng Langjun is not
Do you think Xinzhuangzi is far away? It just so happens that I have some relations with the He family. If Feng Langjun really wants to change, I still have an old face and will let him go."
"I haven't thanked my grandpa for this yet!" Feng Yong bowed again, "My grandpa has helped me a lot."
"We are all close neighbors, so we should help each other." Old Man Li said with a smile, "To be honest, the He family and I took advantage of this, and Xinzhuang has good water to irrigate the land! I am elsewhere,
I also got 500 acres of farmland. There are no 500 acres of farmland in this village. I'm afraid Feng Langjun will suffer some losses. Do you want me to give you some extra tenant labor?"
This was said in a decent way and helped people a lot, but it was said as if someone owed something to someone else. After hearing this, people couldn't help but feel a little more grateful.
"It's not a loss, it's not a loss! As long as it can be exchanged, it won't be a loss. The Feng family is not prosperous, and Xinzhuang can't take care of it. It's a headache to put it there. Forget about the labor, after a while, there will be more in the village.
It should be enough for people to come over."
These days, labor is in short supply. Although the property in Xinzhuang was confiscated by the government, all the tenants in the village were not guilty and had long since disappeared. Of course, the greater possibility is that the He family directly took over the tenants, so
Xinzhuang is an empty village. Under normal circumstances, even if it is a replacement, there is no reason to give Feng Yong free labor.
However, I had talked with Li Yi before about taking over the veterans. Calculating the time, it is about to arrive. In addition, those families of Li Yi are not afraid that there will be no one to farm.
"It seems that Feng Langjun has a plan, so I won't bother you. You go about your business first, and I won't disturb you." Old Man Li got what he wanted, said goodbye with satisfaction, and walked away briskly.
"Then I won't send the grandpa as a gift." Feng Yong returned the gift and said loudly.
Seeing the old man waving his hands back without looking back, Feng Yong chuckled. It seemed pretty good to be a neighbor with such an old man.
"Don't throw the stones you picked up, pile them together." Feng Yong, who was in a happy mood, turned around and stood on the highest point of the hillside. He put one hand on his waist and pointed at a few troublemakers who were throwing stones into the creek down the slope.
Scolding is like the overseer of all evil.
At that moment, two adults rushed out from the crowd, picked up one under their armpits, threw it in front of Feng Yong, slapped it a few times, each of them spanked a few times, and finally bowed and nodded to Feng Yong to make up for the smile.
: "I'm sorry, Master, I didn't take it too seriously."
Feng Yong waved his hand: "Call all the literate children in the house."
I felt that I had made some miscalculations. In the past, there were only a few people on the farm, and I was used to bringing in all the adults and children when doing the work. It was not enough. Now that I have more people, I have more manpower. There is no need to let children go into battle.
.Opening up wasteland is a physical job. Children are weak and there are many people, so sometimes it will get in the way.
It seems that I am still too inexperienced. If the housekeeper had arranged it, I wouldn't have ended up like this.
In a few days there will be another batch of veterans bringing their families with them. I have already mentioned this to the housekeeper, so the housekeeper went to the city early this morning to buy daily necessities.
"Stand up and line up."
After finding a temporary open space, Feng Yong gave the order.
The children on the farm had almost developed an instinct for the master's password, and they soon lined up in two lines as usual.
The noisy sounds on the slope suddenly became much quieter.
For the farmers in Fengzhuang, queuing up for children is associated with literacy and reading, which is a very sacred thing. For them, who have never had a scholar for generations, it is just a matter of making their children literate.
, Fengzhuang is the best place in the world.
Sure enough, I heard the master speak: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is vast. The sun and moon are waxing and waning, the stars are arranged... One, two, three, start."
So the immature children's voice, mixed with a few drake calls in the voice-changing stage, sounded on the small hillside of Fengzhuang: "The sky and the earth are black and yellow, the universe is primitive..."
The children's recitation seemed to inject endless energy into the adults' bodies. The farmers' enthusiasm for work immediately increased, and they even became somewhat inexplicable and uncontrollable madness.
It was obviously a stone that only two people could lift, but a woman immediately picked it up. She still had enough energy to walk a few steps quickly and threw it into a fixed pile of stones. Then she looked back at the child not far away with a satisfied look on her face.
smile.
When the few men on the village heard the sound of the child reading, they took off their upper body clothes, bent down, dug into the big rocks hidden in the soil with both hands, and roared like a bull.
, the veins on his arms popped out, and he pulled out the rocks that could only be lifted with a pickaxe...
Although he knew that the villagers admired literacy and reading, Feng Yong still underestimated how stimulating the children's reading was to them. Feng Yongyong didn't know what the villagers were thinking, but he felt the villagers' excitement and turned his head to look.
, and for a while I couldn’t see anything strange.
But when he saw the Liao people on the other side, the difference suddenly became apparent. The two groups of people in the front were obviously working at about the same speed, but now the pace of the Han villagers suddenly became much faster, and many people were even worried about it.
Land on the soil, or hold a stone and run for a while.
In contrast, the Liao people were much silent. The children looked at their peers who were endorsing the books with envy. The adults, on the other hand, felt a little inferior and tried their best not to look over there, but
I couldn't help but sneak a glance or two out of the corner of my eye.
In terms of human nature, Feng Yong believes in the theory that human nature is inherently evil. Throw away the morality that humans have bound themselves to, and then annihilate the wisdom of primates, then he will believe that there is no difference between humans and animals.
In this barbaric era, even the Han people, who are the representatives of the highest civilization, have their morality only directed at the Han people themselves, and the racial dividing lines are so obvious. As a time traveler, Feng Yong does not have any other prejudice against the Liao people, but
The surrounding environment was such that he had to carefully conceal his difference.
If the Lio people immediately receive the same treatment as others as soon as they arrive at Fengzhuang, this will not only make the original villagers in Fengzhuang feel uncomfortable, but also make the Lio people not cherish their hard-earned life.
As the old saying goes, a friend's favor is better than a friend's, and it is generally true.
In Feng Yong's previous life, he had a supervisor who was a good man. When his subordinates were late, he helped to ask for leave. When his subordinates made mistakes, he helped to cover them up. In the year-end summary, his team members were the laziest and had the worst performance.
Later he was criticized. He wanted to strictly enforce the system and reminded his subordinates many times that whoever was late would have their wages deducted. Who knew that just one month after the implementation, all the people under him were furious. This had never happened before. What happened now?
Is this possible? In the end, things got serious and I went to the boss. The boss finally made the decision and fired them all! No one was left behind.
Therefore, it is said that bad people are not worthy of being good. Because people's hearts are always insufficient. Some things come too easily and they will not be cherished.
Until now, except for the housekeeper who has recruited a young Lio girl to help, the Lio people still have to abide by the unwritten rules of not being allowed to approach the Feng Mansion unless there is nothing wrong, not to mention that their children can read and read like the children of the villagers.
