Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 197 Surprised (fourth update)
Willow wood version of stir-fried dishes appeared in the land of Datang.

An elderly man stepped forward, bowed his hands first, and then picked some up with chopsticks and put them in his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Willow asked with a smile.

After bowing his hands again, Li Zheng said: "It's extremely delicious, but the little old man is even more puzzled, what is your intention?"

These Lizheng don't think that Liu Mu is here to invite them to dinner.

And even if it is a meal, it is impossible for the nobleman to cook in person, so there must be a deep meaning.

"The simplest way to say it is." Liu Mu didn't continue, but motioned Qin Zheng to step forward.

Qin Zheng opened an account book: "Helao Village, the actual income per mu is 460 catties, and about 130 catties of oil can be obtained. The pole is also used for other purposes, and the oil is converted into three catties. According to the oil price in Chang'an, three stones of corn per mu is 46 Jin can be converted into cloth, silk, wool, silk, money, etc.”

After finishing speaking, Qin Zheng closed the ledger and stood aside.

"Sure, really?" An old man hurried forward a few steps from a distance.

Qin Zheng patted the account book: "It has been reported to Yi Guogong, everyone knows that the Patriarch is benevolent and will not withhold money."

How much is a catty of oil in Chang'an City, basically everyone present knows it well.

Moreover, the number reported by Qin Zheng is different from that of ordinary villages. These villages have a total of [-] households and seven Lizhengs. They are considered half commoners and half tenants.It is Qin Qiong's real estate that seals [-] households. What they grow in the fields depends on Qin Qiong's arrangement, and then handing over in proportion is a kind of income given to Qin Qiong by the court.

The seven elders who entered the village of Yi Guogong's mansion were very excited.

The village where Princess Changping belongs to Li Zheng couldn't sit still, and wanted to ask a few times, but didn't know how to ask.

They want to know how much they can get.

Liu Mu knocked on the table: "Don't make a mess."

Everyone immediately quieted down and listened to Liu Mu's speech: "The field is not only planted with rapeseed, but also velvet flowers, sorghum, and beans. Don't worry, everyone, this bowl of water is level."

"Thank you sir." People on both sides saluted together.

Duanping means that willow can keep all these in the same proportion.

As for how to divide the villages, there were also regulations before.

Then Liu Mu turned his head and said to Lizheng of those commoner villages: "I invite you all to come, just one thing. Whatever you plant in your fields is up to me, and no matter what you plant, follow my method, and then I will come and gather together." Take it away. As for what you have to pay, such as rent and labor, I will pay for it."

"Then, there are two ways. One is written in black and white. What to plant is up to me. I collect money, silk, and grain, and they can only be returned to me. The other is the package. How much is an acre of land a year, silk, Then go out to work and calculate the wages, the income in the field earns more and earns less, whether it is a loss or a gain, I will bear it."

"No rush, it's okay to discuss here, or go back to discuss. Everyone's fields, I will only plant in autumn."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he took a few steps back and motioned for Qin Zheng to explain the rules and regulations to these Li Zhengs.

Liu Mu asked to pull up the bellows again, and quickly pulled out four dishes: stir-fried kidneys, hot pork liver, twice-cooked pork, and stir-fried green vegetables.

The servant brought the four dishes to the table beside him. When Liu Mu pulled out the chair and sat down, another servant put a bowl of white rice in front of Liu Mu.

At this moment, Liu Mu said to Gao Xing and the three of them, "Do you want to eat together?"

"Why not?" Gao Xing also signaled the servant to bring him a bowl of rice.

Dou Shikuan also sat down.

Cui Yiye was a little hesitant, he was an aristocrat, and he couldn't accept eating in public.

After letting the servants surround the curtain, Cui Yiye sat down.

But I saw that the four dishes had basically bottomed out.

The next two dishes were fried by chefs trained by Liu Mu. From the feeling, it was not as pleasant as eating the dishes fried by Liu Mu himself.

Liu Mu had already finished two bowls of rice, and put the chopsticks on the table.

"By the way, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, but I just like to eat delicious food. What is this called, killing on the tip of the tongue."

Hearing what Liu Mu said, Cui Yiye looked Liu Mu up and down as if seeing Liu Mu for the first time.

"Why, there are flowers on my face?" Liu Mu asked.

"No, my sister has read a lot of books, but she keeps saying that a gentleman can't enter the kitchen. Doing so will lose his dignity. She said this is what the sages said. But you, you know the meaning of these words , is to persuade people to be kind, unexpected, quite unexpected. My young master proposes a toast to you."

Cui Yiye held up the wine glass with both hands.

Liu Mu held both hands in the same way. After drinking the wine, Liu Mu smiled and said, "It's surprising that I, a countryman, have read books. It's surprising."

"Accident, it was indeed an accident." Cui Yiye nodded seriously.

Books were very valuable items in the era of the Tang Dynasty, and all books were copied, and a large number of books were actually controlled by the rich.

Cui Yiye didn't despise Liu Mu, but a book with very professional and celebrity annotations is quite precious.

What's more, Cui Yiye knew that there were books at home, but he had never seen a few authentic ones. Some books could be placed outside of one, and there was a steward who was in charge of keeping them with silk gloves to flip through them.

Able to copy some precious books by hand, after Cui Yiye once spent a huge amount of money to copy a Analects of Confucius written on silk with Dong Gong's annotations on silk, those money and silk are really talented in the wealthy family for the books he copied. In the eyes of the young master, there are countless people who envy Cui Yiye for only spending such a little money.

Therefore, Cui Yiye was quite surprised to hear that Liu Mu could explain some knowledge correctly.

It is rare for Liu Mu to be humble: "In fact, I can say a few words like this."

Cui Yiye didn't say anything more, but Gao Xingxing said, "Brother Cui can memorize Huainanzi and other novels well."

"Huainanzi? 13 characters, memorize it." Liu Mu was really taken aback.

Is that human being?
More than 13 characters can be memorized word by word, which is the level of heifer handstand.

Liu Mu was surprised by Cui Yiye's superhuman memory, but the three of them were equally surprised that Liu Mu could tell Huainanzi's exact number of words.

In the era of Datang, there was no word count software at all.

And no one is so bored as to count a box of books. This must be the number of words inadvertently calculated after reading dozens of times, chapter by chapter.

When Cui Yiye opened his mouth to ask, Qin Zheng came to the curtain, Liu Mu pushed the curtain to go outside, and Cui Yiye swallowed the words he wanted to ask.

"Lang Jun, they chose black and white. Everything is according to your orders, and then the income will be distributed proportionally. Zhongli and Su Lao are planning to go back and discuss with each household before signing an agreement. Someone also proposed to invite the county magistrates of Jingyang and Sanyuan counties to do it. notarization."

"Okay. It's not urgent. We only planted it in the field in autumn, so there is no rush."

"Yes, I wrote it down." Qin Zheng agreed to this matter.

　Finally, the archives are zero.

　　Sweat yourself.
