Chapter 2563 drought resistance one (make up for yesterday)
Bai Erlang likes this kind of fighting with others the most, because he doesn't think too much, and he still has the upper hand, which can make people feel at a loss, but just thinking about it makes him excited, and he can eat more at night Eat half a bowl.
Mingda was quite annoyed at first and couldn't experience this kind of fun, but after seeing Bai Erlang for two days in a row, he would rather refuse Bai Shan's invitation and go to Xincheng to stare at the steward for renting a shop, as long as he saw the smile on the steward's face Stiff, he was very happy, and even she couldn't help but feel happy, and faintly touched that edge.
So the couple ran to the new city together, sitting in the shop every day, and the condescending caretaker received the business traveler who came because of the notice.
With two masters around, the steward didn't dare to do anything, because Ming Da and Bai Erlang set the rent floating range early in the morning, and it would be impossible for him to raise the rent to scare people away.
So the business traveler, whom the steward had worked so hard to find, turned around and made a direct contract with the princess, paying the rent to get the shop.
Those stewards almost vomited blood when they received the news. The shop has been looking back and forth for a few days, and they are about to close the deal. Who knew that a princess Mingda would be killed halfway?
They didn't dare to go to Princess Mingda, so they could only find the princess' steward angrily.
Although you have never stated it clearly, you have received so many gifts from everyone. Both parties have hinted at the beginning that you rented the shop to us at a low price, and we sublet it to others. As a result, we took great pains to pull the business trip from outside, you Turned around and gave us a beard?
If there is no such truth, do you still talk about the morality of the rivers and lakes?
Compared with the relationship between the morality of the rivers and the lakes and the relationship between master and servant, it is not worth mentioning. The princess and the concubine are sitting in the shop next door. He neither dares to promise them to return the business trip that has signed the contract to them, nor dare to let them. They made too much noise...
If the princess and the concubine knew what happened here, his life would not be needed.
So he could only reluctantly return the things he had collected before, and even subsidized it himself, he said in pain, "Our princess and concubine are watching this matter in person, and you have also seen the two notices on the street and at the end of the street. , until our shop is fully rented out, it is impossible for you to rent out the shop at a high price."
"You didn't say that before..."
"I didn't expect the princess to value the shops in this street so much," the steward said, "This is a street in Xincheng. How many people are there in Xincheng? Our princess has countless industries, not to mention that there are shops in the capital, just The fief, the income in one year is quite a lot, how did I know that the princess will personally manage the industry in the new city?"
"Anyway, everyone should consider themselves unlucky."
"How can this work..."
"Why can't you do this? The shop you rented is the lowest rent I can get you, and the location is good. Even if you can't rent it out, it's not a loss for you to do business yourself." He secretly threatened: "Princess Just sit in the shop next to you, take a step back, hello to me, hello to everyone, otherwise, I won't be able to please you, and you and the master behind you will be able to please?"
They stopped talking for a moment.
But I am still not reconciled. There are not many people in this new city. After spending so much renovation, I will definitely lose money in the future.
Several people gritted their teeth and decided to go back and talk to the host, this matter had to be delayed for a while.
They take care of the property for the owner, and if they lose too much, they will be punished at the end of the year.
A lot of shops were rented out in one go, Mingda was very happy, Bai Erlang was also very happy, but the emperor was not very happy.
This year, the Yongzhou area of the capital city is dry, and other parts of the Central Plains are also more or less dry. Therefore, this year's field leave is not only released earlier, but also for three more days.
Officials who need to go home to farm, together with the rest day, have a total of 15 days, which is half a month's vacation.
He thought that the daughter would follow the concubine back to the palace to live for a while, to accompany his old father, but after the holiday, the daughter could not even live in the capital, and lived directly in the Huangzhuang.
Oh, Bai Er also put his fields on vacation, because he said that he was going to plant the land of Huangzhuang, and his boss gave him a note with an inexpressible look on his face.
Wei Zhi also took field leave, but instead of taking fifteen days, he took ten days. Even ten days was not pure. After returning to the mansion from the field every day, he would still handle official business.
Wei Zhi owns a piece of land in Yongzhou, which he bought by himself.
This year's drought, he personally followed the long-term workers to fetch water to irrigate the fields, then watched them plough the fields, rolled up their trousers and planted rice seedlings with them.
Unfortunately, that piece of land was very close to the piece of land where Lao Zhoutou gave Man Bao his dowry.
Because of the drought, the two new tenants they found this year regretted it. They also have land at home. They didn’t expect the spring drought to be so severe. They obviously couldn’t grow so much land, so they had to return the land in Zhouman.
When Lao Zhou first saw it, he couldn't help but talk while he brought his sons and daughters-in-law to farm the fields.
Man Bao and Bai Shan simply also took field leave, wearing big straw hats, rolled up their trousers and went down to the ground.
There is no canal coming from here, so we can only open the ridge above, and let the water go down from family to family, but the water in the river is less, so everyone can only carry water.
It is impossible for Man Bao to carry water. They pulled an ox cart and put the water directly on the cart. As a result, when the cart reached the edge of the field, the water was almost scattered.
Even if the bucket is covered with a lid, it doesn't really work.
The two squatted on the car and stared at the bucket in a daze, "It would be nice to have a water wheel."
There are waterwheels specially designed to transport water, but where can I find them for a while? Moreover, the waterwheel is expensive, and they cannot directly pay more than the cost of harvesting for the sake of farming.
Old Zhoutou knocked on the big clods in the field and came back, and when he saw the two children staring at the wooden barrels and frowning, he glanced at the ox cart and said, "You guys have spilled it all the way. What a waste of water."
Talk to them, "You don't pick a few large leaves and put them in a bucket and then cover..."
Man Bao and Bai Shan's eyes lit up, and they both remembered that the villagers like to put a lotus leaf in the wooden bucket when they go to fetch water, so that when the water is swaying, it will not spill a lot of water.
Man Bao immediately jumped out of the car and said to the old Zhoutou: "Dad, don't worry, the water will not be wasted, and it will be eaten by the grass when it falls on the ground. When the grass grows back, our cows will eat it. ."
Old Zhoutou: ... This is so busy, rice and wheat have no water to drink, so I will eat grass first.
The two led the ox cart to pull the water again.
Compared with other farm work, pulling water is not too hard.
When they got to the river, Bai Shan and Man Bao took out the wooden buckets from the car and filled them with water. Man Bao went to pick some big leaves and put them in the bucket, and then closed the lid.
See you at 6 pm
