Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 158;

Chapter 150 IX No Wages

After breakfast, Li Yu wanted to go to the river to have a look. After all, today, the Gongshuban family was mobilized to search for a place to install the waterwheel [-] miles up and down the river.

It is also necessary to determine the location of the embankment and dam.

Specifically where to build the dam, how many reservoirs need to be enclosed,
How many waterwheels should be installed before they can be used.

How much farmland can be irrigated, etc., whether the water flow is fast or slow, the river is wide or narrow,
All factors have to be taken into consideration. Finding the installation location and the address of the designated river dam are all technical work, and it is also a very important event!

Li Yu attaches great importance to it, so he wants to go there together and participate in it.

Just about to get up, Rong Niang next to her asked softly; "I wonder if Mr. Lang is free today?"

"What's the matter, lady? Is there something important?"

"Returning to Mr. Lang, I, Aye, have been entangled by many peasants recently, and I have a headache.

I want to discuss with Mr. Lang about when the farm households can relocate.

Aye doesn't know when Mr. Lang is free, and he doesn't dare to disturb him easily.
So I asked the slaves to ask the last question, or when the gentleman is free, I would like to ask the gentleman about how to allocate and when to move! "

"Oh... I actually forgot about this, didn't I,

The second phase of the new house has been completed for a long time, and it has not been allocated yet. Now it will be Yuanzheng in one month.

The farmers are just anxious to move in before the end of the year, let’s go to your house first, talk to you Aye (father) about this matter, and it’s not too late to go to the river. "

After finishing speaking, Li Yu hurried to Rongniang's house with a few maids, before entering the door,

Then I heard the sound of discussion inside.

Only one of them said, "Boss Lin, now you are also in charge of the distribution of the new house, why didn't you give us an answer for so long?
If I continue to shirk today, I won't leave, I will eat at your house, live at your house, and see what you can do to me! "

"That's right, that's right, in less than a month, Yuanzheng is about to come, but Mr. Lang said that this year I will definitely move into a new home.
Lin Goro, what are you thinking when you have not made the distribution for so long?

It's good for everyone to discuss it.Why do you always keep your mouth shut? I really annoy others. "

Lin Wu was also sweating anxiously.

"Fellow folks, it's not just me who doesn't speak, Mr. Lang has been very busy since he came back from Chang'an City.
I haven't taken care of the distribution of the new house, and if the gentleman doesn't nod, how dare I deal with it lightly,

We all live in the same Zhuangzi on weekdays, if you bow your head and don’t see anyone looking up, don’t persecute me any more.”

A middle-aged woman said anxiously; "I said Lin Wu, you are too useless, Mr. Lang is busy during the day, so is he also busy at night?

Lang Jun is not old enough to tie his hair, and he has not publicly taken concubines, where can he be busy at night?
Can't you go ask Mr. Lang at night? "

After saying this, the surrounding people immediately booed.

A sister-in-law couldn't help but speak; "Exactly, what the lady of the Zheng family said is reasonable, and Mr. Wang is not busy at night.
Why don't you ask for advice, isn't it you, Lin Wu, who are busy every night? "

"Ha ha ha ha"

After the pungent sister-in-law finished speaking, there was a roar of laughter in the yard!
It made Rongniang's father, Lin Wu, blush and have a thick neck.

A man of the same age as Lin Wu snorted disdainfully; "Is he busy every night? Does he have that ability? I'm not afraid to show off his old waist."

Lin Wu was also forced to have no choice but to comfort everyone: "Folks don't worry,
Yesterday evening, a certain family had already visited Rongniang, and asked her to inquire about Mr. Lang today, if she is free,

If Mr. Lang is free, I will meet with you right away. I think it will only take two days before the new house can be allocated. Everyone can wait for a few more days with peace of mind? "

After Lin Wu finished speaking, he raised his hands and cupped his fists, saluting in all directions.

He was originally a citizen of Li Family Village, and he had no deep hatred, so how could everyone really persecute him.

And hearing that Lin Wu had already told his daughter to ask when Mr. Lang would be free, most of the people were relieved.

It was the few remaining who were not reconciled. When Lin Wu mentioned Rong Niang, they all swallowed back what they wanted to say.

Isn't that right, this guy's daughter is the first-class maid in the county mansion,
That identity is not something people like me can offend, let alone offend.

Wait two more days with peace of mind, they are all from the villagers, and there is no need to force Lin Wu to death.

"Give it up, let it go."

The few people on the outermost stretched their necks to look into the yard, and when they heard a female voice behind them,

Taking a look back,
"Ah! It's Mrs. Lin who's back, get out of the way, everyone, it's Mrs. Lin who's back, eh!
Sir?The villain has seen Mr. Lang. "

"You don't need to be too polite, folks, the gathering is here, but do you have something important to discuss?"

The man who said to get out of the way immediately languished, and hurriedly replied; "Qi... Mr. Sir, uh, I have nothing to do, so I want to come and see Lin Wu."

"Lang Jun is well."

"I have seen Lang Jun."

"I pay my respects to my lord..."

One after another, the sound of greetings filled the courtyard.

Lin Wu pushed through the crowd and stepped forward to meet Li.

Li Yu asked unhurriedly; "Lin Wu, why do you have so many guests in your house?"

"Back to my lord, all the folks want to come and ask, when will this new house be allocated?"

After Lin Wu finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the woman who had made a big fuss just now, "Ms. Zou's family, you were the most anxious just now. Now that the gentleman is here, you can tell him directly!"

That sturdy woman is about 1.7 meters [-] tall and less than forty years old. Although she is not fat, she is very strong.

Listening to Lin Wu pushing himself to the cusp of the storm, his face was blushing,

I had no choice but to open my mouth; "My servant pays homage to the lord, and the lord must not listen to this man who kills a thousand swords, talking nonsense,
The slave family just has nothing to do, drop by the door, just ask this murderer about the new house by the way,
Please don't blame me, sir!Mr. Lang issued many secret methods, and took out money, food, and bought wood to build these new houses for the villagers.

It's too late for me to be grateful for the great kindness, how can I cause trouble, but I just feel that Lin Wu is slow to move, so I come to ask why, it's not because of gathering crowds to make trouble! "

Li Yu smiled and said nothing.After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth; "Don't leave,

This is always standing in the yard, and it's not like discussing important matters,
Lin Wu, don't you invite me to come in and sit down? "

Rongniang's mother just squeezed into the crowd, "Everyone, let's make room, please sir, please come inside.

Wu Lang is useless. He doesn't understand too much about these etiquettes. Please don't blame him. "

Li Yu walked towards the main hall peacefully, and sat down in the grand teacher's chair at hand, while Rong Niang stood beside Li Yu politely.Two servant girls waited on Li Yu's other side.

The common people in the courtyard rushed to surround the entrance of the main hall.

The scene was unusually quiet, quite different from the noisy scene just now, completely different.

"My lord, since I came back from Chang'an City, I have been busy with various things, and I have neglected the matter of allocating the new house.

Folks, don't blame me,"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"Lang Jun is so busy, it's normal to forget."

"Who said Mr. Lang has forgotten, what are you talking about?"

In an instant, the courtyard was full of voices again.

Li Yu had no choice but to raise his voice; "Folks, be quiet and listen to what I have to say."

When everyone stopped talking, Li Yu did what he said; "Earlier this morning, Rong Niang reminded Mr. Ben Lang that she came here for the assignment.
If you want to discuss it with Lin Wu, it's time to honor the folks,

Let's do this, Lin Wu. "

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions. The villain is listening."

According to the previous method, the distribution will be carried out today, which one is divided into big and small, you register carefully, and the matter will be completed within two days.

Mr. Ben, I have to arrange for the villagers to build the river dam, so I need to allocate this new house quickly.

Don't delay the big event of my lord. "

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, as long as Mr. Lang confesses, Lin Wu will not sleep today.
It is also necessary to carefully register the household registration and number of the villagers, so as not to delay the important affairs of Mr. Lang. "

The people in the yard all knew that the river channel would be built in the next few days, and they all enthusiastically agreed.

In the future, you don't need to rely on rain, you can plant the fields well, and you can have a bumper harvest. These people, if you want to be more excited, get more excited,
Now when Li Yu brought up this matter, these commoners clapped their chests and vouched for it,

When building dams and embankments, everyone must participate, and the river will be built safely and firmly.

Please let Li Yu be busy with any important matter, and just tell him.

Li Yu was also very happy, he didn't expect his prestige to be so high, it was a response from everyone.

Looking at the strong middle-aged woman in the crowd, Li Yu said directly; the lady from the Zou family is coming forward, Mr. Ben has something to ask.I also hope that the lady will not refuse. "

Seeing that she had something to confess to herself, the woman hurried forward two steps,

"Your Majesty, what instructions do you have, but please tell me, if it is useful, I will go to the slave's house, and the slave's house will never refuse."

"You are so brave, you are worthy of being a member of the Li Family Village. You know about the fact that my lord wants to build a river embankment. This is exactly what my lord wants to say.

Building river dams and embankments is nothing compared to building houses. Those who don’t know how to build bricklayers will be useless even if they go up there.

Not so with the river,

Both men and women are acceptable, and no skills are required.

For example, cleaning out the silt in the river, or chopping some weeds, picking up some miscellaneous stones, these jobs can be done by both men and women,

Therefore, my husband is about to entrust his wife, so he can gather healthy women from five villages, who don't have many chores at home and can get away.

Mr. Benlang hopes that they can come to the river to contribute their strength. When the reservoir is completed in the future and the bobbins are available, it will also benefit all the people and everyone will benefit.
However, a snake can't walk without a head, and a bird can't stand without a foot, so I entrusted this matter to my wife, and my wife can make the women who are on good terms pass on to several Zhuangzi,

Gather those who can contribute, and after two days, the patriarch Gongshu will set a good and auspicious day, and then he can start.

I don't know if the lady is free to take on this kind of errand. "

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, I will leave this matter to the slave family."

"My lord first wants to make it clear that the construction of the river dam and embankment is the same as Lin Wu's. There is no money to distribute, and it is all for Zhuangzi.

Mr. Ben Lang is afraid that the folks will misunderstand, so I will make it clear here. "

"What are you talking about, Mr. Lang, these five Zhuangzi, Mr. Lang, go ask someone to ask,

Whoever comes to work is for money, if one is found,
Sir, tell him to stand up, I will spit on him first before explaining the details.

How much money did Lang Jun pay for the folks?He also took out many secret methods and opened the granary. I don't know how much grain was used to get the wood for our new house.

If everything is compared with money, then the conscience will be eaten by dogs.

Don't worry, Mr. Lang, the matter of summoning women is left to the slave family.

The servant's house must be done properly for the lord, so that the lord can know that our women's family is not much less capable than men, folks, right? "

This woman is very good at making things happen, and can also be sensational. What I said is well-founded,

Explain the truth clearly.

He could hear Li Yu nodding his head in approval.
