Chapter Fifty-Four
Chapter 54: How to borrow the method of building fields in the past life
Then Yang Zhi and Zheng Tu had already known his origin. He was a descendant of the Yang family. His ancestors were Yang Jiye and his grandfather was Yang Wenguang. In his previous life, he read the book "Shuo Yue" and only said that there was a brother of the same ancestor who was wandering outside and called Yang Zaixing. He became a bandit at a young age. Later, he followed Yue Fei and had the courage to be inappropriate.
Moreover, Yang Zhi was good at using swords and guns. He whispered the sword from his ancestors, he was so amazing that an eight-treasure camel dragon spear was even more unstoppable. It was King Chao who took his birthday gift that made him and Lu Zhishen seize Erlong Mountain, become bandits, and become bandits. Such people only want to become officials and shine on the ancestors, but they are afraid that they will not surrender without any means. Even when they went to Liangshan, Yang Zhi took the 17th position with his martial arts skills. Among the 108 heroes, it is rare. Now Lu Zhishen has thrown into the Wuling Peak, but he asks Yang Zhi to go where?
However, how to obtain the birth gift made Zheng Tu hesitate. If he was wise, then Yang Zhi was cautious by nature. If he hadn't had a conflict with him, it would not be easy for King Chao to succeed. If he wanted to take it hard and rely on his own strength to defeat him, it would not be difficult. But he had to make enemies from now on. Even if he cherished his martial arts, he would not be easy to meet in the future, let alone recruiting him. What's more, he would have to use this Yang Zhi in the future to recruit the more brave Yang Zaixing.
As hesitated, my eyes suddenly lit up and I said to myself that I didn’t meet him, so I had some conspiracy. Now I still have some time to make some arrangements in the village in the city.
The village had added more and more people to pretend. The eight hundred soldiers had already been placed in place and reported to Zhou Zhizhou for filing. Zhou Zhizhou was happy to be favored and recommended Zheng Tu to become a trustworthy man. This was also considered a formal official. However, Zhou Zhizhou did not teach him to resign, so he also served as a member of the position of the capital. Although it was not very consistent with the rules, no one spoke.
After being content with the eight hundred soldiers, Zheng Tu only asked Wu Er and Shi Jin to perform in Zhuangzi. Wu Er was an expert in training and formations, and Shi Jin was a good player in teaching guns and rods. The two complemented each other. The outside of the Zhuangzi cut a playground, killing sounds all day long. Those rogues first wanted some money, loose and tight. After eating this exercise, the formation was neat and banned, and some rules were made.
Wu Zhimin helped Chen Laoshi manage the economy of Zhuangzi, and did his best. Chen Laoshi was also self-aware, so he became a hand-off manager and only wandered around the farm all day long. The people in the village respected him as Zheng Tu's father-in-law, so they treated each other politely and were very flattering to meet him. Chen Laoshi was extremely satisfied, and saw that his house had also been replaced by a large courtyard with three in and three out, with blue bricks and green tiles, and he looked like a wealthy family.
On that day, Zheng Tu claimed his leave, rode his horse alone, and headed straight to the village. The autumn harvest was just around the corner, and there were still some people in the fields who carried rice and picked up ears of grain. When they saw Zheng Tu, they all stopped and saluted and greeted him. They looked very respectful.
"Believe in the good fortune of Lang's wife!" Zheng Tuzheng came over and saw Wu Zhimin, who was standing on the edge of the field from afar, was coming all the way and bowing to him.
The old man didn't call him, so he just called him the title of Chengxin Lang. Zheng Tu didn't care. He got off the horse and nodded and smiled, "Sir, I have helped a lot in these days, and thanked him again." Zheng Tu was very respectful in his rituals.
Wu Zhimin shook his head and smiled, "I have a set of rules to do things. Now the Chenjiazhuang all have to accept the favor of Lang, so it is also a matter of self-confidence. How dare you say thank you?"
Zheng Tu laughed and said, "You old man, but you are not honest. I don't hide it now. I just ask you, why have you been in Chenjiazhuang for more than 20 years but have the general trend of the world hidden in your heart? I guess you are an extraordinary person, so why have you endured it for more than 20 years and didn't come to me and just wait for me to come. Why do you show your talents, but why?"
Wu Zhimin looked at Zheng Tu, and finally nodded and smiled, "These must be trusted. However, the old man also read some books and had a high opinion of himself in his life, but he failed the imperial examination many times, so he also developed a desire to retreat. However, he was not the one who was willing to be calm after all. After all, he had walked around a little every year, even this border city, from west to north, some of his experiences were recorded in his heart. Whether it was heard or the official announcement, it was revealed that today, the emperor was unrighteous, and foreign races suddenly rose up, and he saw that the world was about to be in chaos."
"Oh?" Zheng Tu did not believe Wu Zhimin's words. If he had some knowledge, it was true. Zhuge Liang could also control the world's general trend after all, and the reason was that he had a wide range of knowledge and his intelligence. Now that Wu Zhimin has such knowledge, he doesn't think it's strange, but he can see that he has a great view of the general trend.
"Why is the gentleman who is so talented, but he still fails to take the imperial examination?"
Wu Zhimin was stagnant, but he smiled without saying a word: "Today, there are many people who have entered the imperial examinations, but the country and the country are gradually weakening, which eventually leads to chaos in the world. But what if I don't want to believe in my knowledge, then that's all?"
Zheng Tu laughed and said, "Mu still has a question in his heart!"
"But it's okay, the old man has no hiding from Chengxinlang."
"What you said before was that I am very good at doing things. Now, depending on your style, can you help me with your ideas?"
Wu Zhimin was not pretentious and immediately bowed and said, "I would rather flatter you and believe in the orders of Lang!"
Zheng Tu laughed and said, "Are you not afraid of your life's wishes not to be fulfilled? Now I just want to be a stable and wealthy family."
Wu Zhimin also smiled slightly and said, "This is a confession of Lang's current wish. Who can tell the situation in the future?"
"Well, you can just take care of the farm for me here!"
"Dare not obeying!" Wu Zhimin bowed.
Zheng Tu nodded, looked at the wheat stubble in the fields, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Now the farmhouse is the foundation of this village. I also want to accumulate more food and grass so that I can get an immediate need in the future."
"I wonder if Chengxin Lang has a certain plan?"
"If there is, there is," Zheng Tu pondered, and looked back at Wu Zhimin and said solemnly, "I want to rent the land in this village to the merchants, and it will be owned by the merchants within 30 years. The amount of land I rented for the food and grass I have collected is only required to pay a certain amount of pounds. Regardless of the time, no matter how much or how much I collect, the rest belongs to my own family, and I will not interfere."
When Wu Zhimin heard this, he was stunned.
"This is the land contracting system. In this way, the farmer can produce more and more. Wouldn't it be enthusiastic?" Zheng Tu said with a smile.
Wu Zhimin pondered, and after a while, he said, "It's good to have such a method. Can the merchants allow the land to be bought and sold during these thirty years?" Sure enough, Wu Zhimin also had some tricks and saw some clues.
"Buying and selling is definitely not possible. If you do not rent it, you can return it to someone. You will never allow it. The reason why someone does this is that the merchants are actively producing, and the merchants are unable to live without the land. Only by keeping the merchants can the merchants develop greatly."
Wu Zhimin nodded and said, "In this way, the merchants can cultivate enthusiastically, and the land is still the land of faith. This method is very wonderful!" After that, he bowed to Zheng Tu to the end.
Zheng Tuqi said: "Why are you?"
Wu Zhimin said: "If this method is implemented in the world, I am afraid that everyone will actively produce it, and the people in the world will be rich and strong, but it is not a benefit to the country and the people? This is a great blessing for the country."
Zheng Tu was so pretentious that he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You old man, why are you talking about the world? I'm just running a farmhouse now, so what's the use? Don't talk nonsense."
"As a result, it will naturally show people's hearts." Wu Zhimin stood up and smiled at Zheng Tu, "Who can tell the future of things?"
Zheng Tu couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, and no longer talked nonsense with him. In fact, this so-called land contracting system is just a copy of the co-production contracting responsibility system in later generations. Zheng Tu brought it to improve the enthusiasm of the merchants. But where is the ambition that Wu Zhimin said?
Until the sun sets west, the two of them walked back from the field. Wu Zhimin consciously kept a distance from Zheng Tu, only behind him, and did not dare to cross it slightly. He abides by etiquette and law. Zheng Tu knew that he was like this and did not care about him. When he was about to break up, Zheng Tu stopped and turned to Wu Zhimin and said, "You should formulate a charter for the system you are talking about today. After I have seen it, it can be implemented, and strive for the next autumn harvest day, so that the merchants can benefit from it."
Wu Zhimin quickly agreed and hurriedly implemented it. At this time, he was deeply moved by Zheng Tu's idea and was thinking about how to implement this system along the way. Of course, there were many concerns, such as how many households there were, the fields were poor and fat, the rice seeds were good and bad, how to measure the land, etc., and so on. He didn't delay at the moment, staying up late at the lamp.
However, what Zheng Tu was concerned about was limited land, and even if the enthusiasm for production increased greatly, the total increase was not enough to change the embarrassment required for future wars. Therefore, he still needed to buy more farms, but who would still be willing to sell them now? It is impossible to say that he would attack Chen Yuanwai's family's farm like this. Although Chen Yuanwai deserved it, it would inevitably cause people's hearts to fluctuate, and I am afraid that Zhou Zhizhou would not tolerate himself.
After thinking for a while, I had no idea, so I had to plan my own plan first, take the birthday gift of Liang Zhongshu of Daming Prefecture, Beijing, and then use the money to buy more food to stock up in case I only need it from time to time.
After some conspiracy, the matter of seizing the birth date was put on the agenda again, but this matter was about to be next year. Cai Jing was on the 15th day of June. Liang Zhongshu made Yang Zhi get up to escort the birthday date, which was half a month. It is not winter yet, and it is still long before that time. If he goes to pick it up by himself, it will definitely not work. There are eleven loads of gold and silver in total, so it takes more than thirty people to carry the load in rotation.
Just who needed to lead the people together? Zheng Tu thought about it over and over again, but finally he felt that Wu Er should act properly. After all, Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon, was newly invested, and the reputation of Chao Tianwang's loyalty was everywhere. If something happened in the middle of the journey, it would be difficult to end. Just ask Shi Jin to continue teaching the soldiers in the village.
