Chapter 55 The foundation is too thin
Feng Yong asked tentatively: "Madam, do you want to find a home for those people?"
Huang Yueying nodded: "No matter how the people in the south are making trouble, these individuals who came here with their families can be regarded as caring for the big man. The court doesn't care, and the wealthy families who have land are not willing to take it. So I have to lose face. , Find some well-informed and kind-hearted people, and ask for a favor for them. I thought that you have added another five hundred acres of land to your farm, and I don’t know if you have enough manpower, so I asked you to come over and see if I can arrange some."
You are electricity, you are light, you are the only myth...
Huang Yueying’s words were like a thunderbolt flashing through Feng Yong’s heart.
"Yes, yes, that's great. But I don't know how many people there are?" Feng Yong showed a flattering smile on his face, "The Feng family is a kind family from all over the country. If you are looking for a boy, you are really looking for the right person!"
Feng Yong's sudden change in attitude caught Huang Yueying a little off guard. She frowned and looked Feng Yong up and down: "Weird! If you are willing to take over, that would be the best. I can tell you first, there are several companies in the past. All the strong men have been picked out, and most of the rest are because there are too many women and children at home that others don’t want. Although women can also go to the fields, they are not as good as the strong ones, but they are better than being obedient. In my opinion , this is the most suitable for Feng Mansion."
“What’s the point of this, madam?” Feng Yong called out to Qu, “Let them pick all the good ones first, and ask the boy to come over and take over the rest that no one wants?”
Huang Yueying sneered: "Other families have guards, but what does the Feng family have? Even the farmers are mostly women. If you really want so many capable officials to go to the Feng family, how can you sleep peacefully at night?" ? It’s a shame that I still think about you like this, I really don’t understand good people’s hearts!”
After a pause, he continued, "Two days ago, I heard that you wanted to buy more than 500 Liaoman prisoners of war from Li Yi. Is this true? You have never thought about those Liaomen who have seen blood. What if the ferocious nature comes out and there is no nursing home in Feng's house?"
One sentence immediately made Feng Yong break into a cold sweat. He really hadn’t thought about this level!
When he decided to buy more than 500 prisoners of war, he did not originally intend to buy them for himself. According to his plan, at most he would leave thirty or fifty people for himself, and the rest would be given to the four families of Guan, Zhang, Zhao, and Ma, and they would use their connections to seize territory in Hanzhong—the problem is, with thirty or fifty people, that would be enough to kill Feng Feng. The government is over.
No wonder Li Yi was only willing to sell to him ten people at first, and he also emphasized that they had already been trained.
How naive, how naive! After all, I came from a peaceful time and have never done anything like this before. It is indeed too much to take for granted. This lesson must be learned!
Seeing Feng Yong's frightened face, Huang Yueying smiled with satisfaction, thinking that he is still a child after all, "Although it is a bit burdensome to have a family, it is perfect for the Feng family. Yes. Children have thoughts, as long as their whole family can have something to eat, no one will have any inappropriate thoughts, don’t you think this is the truth? "
"Yes, yes, that's what Madam taught me." Feng Tibi was finally convinced. As expected, the natives understood the thoughts of the natives better.
Huang Yueying explained some more things to pay attention to, and then someone sent Feng Yong out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Standing in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Feng Yong straightened the scarf on his head, looked back at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and sighed in his heart. They are indeed a "husband and wife team" that has been passed down for generations. One of them hacked his own idea, and the other ran out to give it to him. I am a sweet jujube, but I have to accept their love, alas! The IQ was indeed crushed!
However, when I thought about how I finally had enough manpower, I couldn’t help but feel happy: When it comes to picking tea, women are naturally the best! When my tea business becomes large-scale, I will follow the example of later generations and make a fancy tea or something. I will envy those natives to death!
Thinking like this, Feng Tubao felt much better. He glanced at the Prime Minister's Mansion again and walked away with his head held high.
But Xinzhuangzi is about ten miles away. In the future, a trustworthy person will have to go over and look after it. There is no such suitable person in the house now. What should we do?
The steward's words immediately ruined Feng Yong's good mood.
"Can't it be exchanged?" The first way Feng Yong thought of was to exchange the land in Xinzhuangzi just like the one hundred acres of land in Xiali Village was exchanged for the current Fengzhuang last time.
The housekeeper shook his head: "It was a coincidence last time. Most of the land around our village belongs to the Li family. It just so happened that the Li family had a common surname in Xiali Village, so they changed it. Now the land around Xinzhuangzi is full of what? It’s from home, there’s no way to change it.”
Li family? Feng Yong remembered it. Wasn't the family in Xiali Village with whom he had arranged a baby marriage also named Li? I don’t know what the relationship is with the Li family who are now neighbors of Fengzhuang.
"What should I do?" Feng Yong feels a bit toothache. You said that Zhuge Yao knows that the people in Feng Mansion are sparse, but he doesn't know how to be considerate of himself. At least give him a place closer!
"It's easy to take over Zhuangzi," the steward hesitated for a moment before continuing, "and there's nothing going on in the village one month after the autumn harvest, so it's okay if you don't take care of things for the time being. But if Zhuangzi doesn't take care of things before planting wheat, I'm afraid Just one year’s harvest is gone.”
"Is it so serious?" Feng Yong was a little doubtful. "Otherwise, if it doesn't work, let the villagers in Xinzhuangzi come up with a steward. After all, they are all farming, and it's not like they need anyone to teach them. "
"That's not okay!" Unexpectedly, the housekeeper's reaction was a bit fierce. "Even if the land is deserted, you can't do this, my lord! No one whom the lord can trust goes to look at it. After a long time, how can those farmers still remember that this is the lord's land?" , they all regard it as their own. When trouble occurs, it will be difficult to deal with!"
Don’t you still have the land title in your possession? Feng Yong didn't think it was that serious, but after thinking about it, the housekeeper was right. The human heart is never satisfied. If there is no trustworthy person watching over it, even if something happens can be settled in the end, it will still be disgusting enough.
But the housekeeper is the only one he can trust and can let go with confidence. But if the housekeeper goes there, who will care about it here?
It’s still that my foundation is too thin!
Feng Yong had to start to face up to the problems exposed by Feng Mansion. In the final analysis, there was still not enough accumulation.
Preparations for receiving the displaced people here have not yet been completed, and the problem of Xinzhuangzi has arisen over there. Feng Yong thought about it all night but could not come up with a good solution, and he was listless when he got up in the morning.
Wang Xun, a good boy, rushed over early in the morning. He first greeted Feng Yong and then asked, "Brother, what do you want to teach me today?"
“Let’s continue reviewing today.”
I didn’t have a good rest all night, and I didn’t have much energy to teach Wang Xun anymore, so I had to send him to review, while I huddled in the old man’s chair and prepared to squint for a while to regain my energy.
“Yes, brother.”
Wang Xun responded and went to the corner to study by himself.
