Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 154
Qin Shou and his party finally came to Yingyue Mountain after the sun went down. Everyone was stunned when they saw a desolate mountain. Qin Shou stepped out of the carriage, pointed to Yingyue Mountain and said, "I have already bought this mountain. The large piece of land under this mountain was also bought by me."

"You will live here in the future. The soil here is not bad, but there is no one to open up wasteland. In the future, you will open up this land to grow grain. In the first three years, I will not collect your rent except for the miscellaneous taxes that the state will collect. , and I will also provide you with the seeds for the first year, understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison.Sweeping away the bewilderment and decadence on his face when he first arrived, he thought that he could still farm the land and harvest the grain. What could be more gratifying than this. Farmers are always inseparable from the land.

Qin Shou pointed to Yingyue Mountain again, and said: "In the future, someone will tell you how to develop this mountain. As for the place to live, just feel wronged these few days, and start building the courtyard wall after dawn tomorrow. House, don’t worry, I won’t let you live in the open forever.”

As soon as these words came out, the minds of these refugees were completely relieved. They were really worried that Qin Shou would leave them alone. Chen Qiang and the others came back with two carts of rice. Qin Shou smiled at everyone and said: "How much do you smoke?" You have fast legs, go and collect some firewood, you have to do it yourself for today's dinner, I won't help you cook."

As soon as the words came out, everyone was overjoyed, and they didn't even dare to say anything. Seeing that Qin Shou didn't intend to continue talking, dozens of children ran out immediately. The other picked up a stick and picked up dry wood while cutting grass.

It can be seen that their life experience is still very rich, at least they don't have to worry about being bitten by a snake. Qin Shou recruited Niu Ben and asked him to find the respected old people here. Qin Shou wanted to have a small meeting with them.

Qin Shou couldn't be here all the time, and had to let them handle some trivial matters by themselves, so it was destined to select a few small leaders, but in major matters, he had to listen to the old people, because they had rich experience.

Not long after, more than a dozen gray-haired old men followed behind Niu Ben. When these people came to Qin Shou, they first bowed to the end, expressing their gratitude within this bow.

Qin Shou stepped forward to help them up, and said: "You are welcome, I am here mainly because I want to discuss with you a few things, and I want to hear your opinions. After all, these are related to your future living environment. Bad."

"Yes, please speak to the boss." Niu Sanshan lowered his hands and stood respectfully opposite Qin Shou.

Qin Shou looked at the sky, then looked at the long weeds under his feet, and said: "The weather is getting late today, and I have to go back to the city, so I will talk about my thoughts first, and you can make up your time tomorrow and then tell me. "

"What I mean is to build a manor here, build a higher wall to prevent wild animals, and build a part of the houses inside to live in, but a certain amount of space must be left in case the population increases in the future, but the area is not enough to live in."

"Furthermore, as I promised before, the elderly will have their own care and children will have a school, so a school in this village will be established. The school will not only teach children how to read and write, the principles of life, but also some handicrafts. "

"Such as female celebrities, craftsmen, stonemasons, etc. Here I will emphasize one more point. Men and women are equal in front of me, so girls will also go to school in the future. Don't think that girls will not let them go to school, understand?"

"clear."

"Understood, we listen to the boss."

"Yes, Master, we know it's for our own good, so we will listen to you."

The old people responded eagerly, and some old people even had tears in their eyes. They really didn't expect that their grandchildren would go to school one day. Can you be unhappy!
Ok!Qin Shou raised his hand to try to calm them down, and said, "You can figure out how to build this house, and we will formally discuss it tomorrow, and then I will talk about the management here."

"You are all respectable old people, I believe you are fair, so usually you can help resolve conflicts between the east and the west, and don't cause fights, and you also discuss about your work arrangements and management. Let’s recommend a few stewards.”

"Let me make a statement first. I will take away the training for people under the age of 30, so they are counted as unplanned personnel and will not be managed here. You can recommend other people at will. In addition, if you need to work in other places, you will also come from here. If you draw people, of course you will be paid.”

"Oh."

"what?"

"Ugh."

"Okay!" The expressions of these people were different, and the responses were also different. Those who shouted yes were strong men under the age of 30 in their families, but more people were disappointed because they didn't have such talents in their families.

After finishing speaking, Qin Shou stood there, let these old people digest for a while, and then asked: "Is there anything you don't understand?"

Niu Sanshan and the others shook their heads, Qin Shou looked at the sky again, and said, "If that's the case, just watch the arrangements for today's dinner, and I'll come back tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master!" Niu Sanshan and others expressed their thanks in unison.

Qin Shou waved his hands, walked towards Zhang Xiaosong, and said, "Xiaosong, let's go back to the city and leave two big men to guard."

"Yes" Zhang Xiaosong answered, gave some instructions immediately, and followed Qin Shou into the carriage.

The carriage drove out slowly, followed by a pair of eye-to-eye salutes, expressing gratitude, and those old people who had just had a meeting came together again after Qin Shou left, this time the topic of their discussion was the house. .

The women also waved the sickles they brought from their hometown to cut down the weeds on the ground. They wanted to build a temporary residence, while the children screamed around the white rice and white noodles, laughing like flowers.

Simple-minded, they didn't know the sadness and helplessness of selling themselves as slaves. What they saw and thought was that there was food tonight, white flour and rice to eat!It's really something to be thankful for.

Niu Ben and Chen Qiang shuttled through the crowd excitedly, sweat dripping off their bodies, they didn't feel hot or tired at all, and their skinny bodies could lift a bag weighing [-] catties directly. I didn't even catch my breath.

Qin Shou turned around and watched from a distance through the car window, and was silent for a while.

Back at the Qin Mansion, Qin Shou took a bath first, and then went to the hall to eat. Zhang Xiaosong was already sitting there. When he saw Qin Shou get up, he quickly stood up to greet him. Qin Shou smiled and waved his hand to let him sit down.

Sitting down, taking a long breath, Qin Shou also felt physically tired. Although he didn't do much today, Qin Shou felt very tired. The tiredness was not physically tired, but mentally.

In the previous life, once a disaster happened, although many people complained, compared with the present, the people there are really happy!
