Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Ming could not convince Zhao Song, and Zhao Song could not get Zhao Ming's approval. The father and son broke up unhappy.

Although the conversation was unpleasant, Zhao Ming still had to accompany them to inspect the fields the next day.

This is the summer harvest season in full swing, so the fields are full of wheat harvesters.

Zhao Hanzhang was riding on a horse wearing a curtain hat, but she refused to wear it properly. She lifted up the gauze scarf of the curtain hat, revealing most of her face. When her eyes were lowered, she could meet the eyes of the people working in the fields.

Zhao Song didn't like riding horses, so he went directly in an ox cart. He stopped Zhao Hanzhang who was walking beside the cart and asked, "How is the wheat harvest going in Shangcai? I've seen it's going to rain in a few days. I have to hurry up." Time collects.”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The harvest has been completed, and the farmers are preparing the land to plant beans."

Zhao Song was surprised, "So fast?"

In his memory, Zhao Hanzhang's dowry included a lot of land from Cai, and she also exchanged a lot of land with Zhao Zhongyu.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said: "The housekeeper at home did not take care of things well before, and a lot of land was abandoned. In addition, tenants and long-term workers have been lost in recent years. The cultivated fields are also sown roughly, and the harvest is not good. Recently, I have taken in some refugees. With more people, such a small amount of things can be put away quickly.”

After Zhao Hanzhang finished speaking, he smiled and said, "It is precisely because all the work in the fields is done that I can come back to see my fifth uncle."

Zhao Song's heavy heart relaxed and he said with a smile: "Can't you come back to see me if you have work in the field?"

Zhao Hanzhang said sweetly, "Of course I will come back. Seeing my fifth uncle is like seeing my grandfather. I feel at ease."

Zhao Ming, who was crowded in a bullock cart with his father, couldn't stand listening anymore and asked the driver to stop the cart. He jumped off the bullock cart, stretched his arms and legs, and when he turned around and saw everyone looking at him, he waved: "Let's go, I'll get out of the car to do some exercise and walk."

After Zhao Hanzhang thought about it, he dismounted and handed the horse to Tinghe, and then walked.

Fu Tinghan lowered his head and thought, would it be rude if he didn't dismount?

Zhao Song was too lazy to pay attention to his son, and smiled with Fu Tinghan, who was a little embarrassed: "Fu Dalang, don't pay attention to them. Let them, uncle and nephew, walk and ride bumpy horses. Why don't you get in the car and sit with me?"

Fu Tinghan readily agreed.

Zhao Ming looked back at the bullock cart and said to Zhao Hanzhang who was walking beside him: "Fu Dalangjun's body seems not as good as yours, Sanniang."

"Isn't this the current trend? When a man puts on his face, his body is like a weak willow supporting the wind, giving him a feeling of floating like a fairy."

Zhao Ming: ...I feel offended.

Zhao Hanzhang had turned his head and stared at him carefully. After scanning up and down, he suddenly smiled brightly and said, "My uncle's makeup is good today."

Zhao Ming looked at Zhao Hanzhang, who was facing the sky, and suddenly felt very angry, but could not say a word.

Zhao Hanzhang walked to the edge of the field, pulled a piece of wheat and looked at it, "It looks like this year's harvest is pretty good."

"There are also bad ones." Zhao Ming stepped forward, pulled a piece of wheat, and after eating one he said: "There is a ditch passing through here, and it is fertile farmland, close to home, and it is taken care of in time. As you go out, If the land is barren, the harvest will not be very good.”

Zhao Ming pointed in another direction and said: "There is an insect infestation on the north side of the mountain this year. Most of the wheat in that area is empty shells, which is even more serious."

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "I remember that my family and my uncle's family have several fields over there."

Zhao Ming said "hmm" and said, "We can take a detour to the north of the mountain and return to Wubao later. You can take a look at the situation."

Tan Zhong followed them obediently.

The two families' fields were not counted as being cultivated by the tribesmen, but were only cultivated by tenants and long-term workers. Moreover, the fields were all close together.

Zhao Hanzhang had seen his own house, and when he turned around, he could see the situation of Zhao Zhongyu's house.

The tenants and long-term workers working in the fields had never seen Zhao Hanzhang. When they heard that she was the eldest daughter of the head of the house, they immediately put down their sickles and came forward, kneeling on the field ridge and replied to Zhao Hanzhang, "Last year, Master Lang was very kind and gave me a small loan on credit." Our 20% rent is 20%, and the crops in the fields this year are pretty good, so we can make up for that 20%.”

Zhao Hanzhang helped him up and asked, "Is your name Chen San?"

"Yes, I'm going to have a family trip."

"Who else is in the family? When did you come to Wubao? How many acres of land did you rent in Wubao?"

Chen San answered one by one that he was exiled to Xiping five years ago. Because Zhao's Wubao was recruiting long-term workers and tenant farmers, he stayed with his family.

"...rented ten acres of land, six acres of which belong to the girl's family, and four acres belong to the seventh master."

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Can I make a living?"

Chen San replied: "I can barely make ends meet."

Zhao Hanzhang let out a long sigh and glanced at the woman bending down to cut wheat and the children looking for wheat ears in the field not far behind him. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Last year, the 20% of the rent that my grandfather gave you on credit will be waived." ”

Chen San's eyes widened and he couldn't help but glance at Zhao Song sitting on the bullock cart. He immediately knelt down and said "dare not".

Zhao Hanzhang pulled him up and said, "Last year, my grandfather would give you 20% of the rent on credit. It was because he felt sorry for your hard life, and he was afraid that you would become lazy if you directly waived the rent. Now I have made the decision to waive the rent. It is just to inherit my grandfather's legacy." "

Zhao Song, who was sitting on the bullock cart, nodded approvingly.

Chen San was so moved that his eyes turned red, he broke away from Zhao Hanzhang's hand, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss, thank you Sir, I will offer you the Master's longevity tablet when I get back. I will never dare to offer it to you every day in the future." Neglect."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Grandpa doesn't care about these hypocritical people, so why bother spending money?"

She looked far away and knew that a lot of this land belonged to her, so she simply said: "I waived all the 20% of the rent that my grandfather gave you on credit last year. Tell them about it."

Chen San's eyes widened, and he kowtowed twice in succession, saying loudly: "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness!"

Chen San ran to the next field ridge and shouted directly into the distance, "Girl, you are exempting us from 20% of the rent we owed on credit last year——"

The voice spread faintly far away. When the tenants who had also rented Zhao Hanzhang's land not far away heard it, they cheered happily. They also knelt down and kowtowed in the direction where Zhao Hanzhang was standing. Then they stood up and continued shouting in the distance, "This The story spread.

Zhao Song felt the happiness of the tenants, and also felt the gratitude of the tenants to Zhao's Wubao. He felt that the cohesion of Wubao was greater.

He stroked his beard with satisfaction, glanced at Zhao Hanzhang with satisfaction, turned to Zhao Ming, who was contemplating at the side, and said, "Pass this on, our family won't have to pay back the 20% rent they undercharged last year."

Zhao Changyu is the clan leader, and his decisions directly affect the rest of the family.

So last year the fields had a bad harvest, and he wrote back saying that life was difficult for the tribesmen and tenants, so after the summer and autumn harvests, he only collected 10% of the rent from the tribesmen and 20% from the tenants, and the remaining 20% ​​was reserved for next year, waiting for the harvest. Okay, I'll make it up again.

The 20% less rent he paid was lent to everyone to tide them over.

As a supporter of Zhao Changyu, Zhao Song naturally stood firmly on his side, so with a wave of his hand, his family also operated in the same way.

The big families in the clan followed suit one after another, including Zhao Zhongyu who was far away in the capital.

He naturally followed his elder brother at that time.

At this time, everyone looked at Tan Zhong together.

See you tomorrow
