Li Zhensheng nodded, made a quick calculation in his mind, and said: "Master Hou, the Wang family has a lot of land. Just two hundred acres is too cheap for them. I think it can be five hundred acres.
" And I know that the Wang family is fifty miles southwest of Xindu. There is a Dazhuangzi in Yunhe Town, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and with 500 acres of fertile land in the middle. This Zhuangzi brought the most output to the Wang family and was the Zhuangzi that the Wang family valued most. I've been there twice before when I was working for the Wang family, and I'm very familiar with it. If you are growing corn and potatoes, Zhuangzi is the most suitable.
"Does the Wang family have such a good place? " The Marquis was also pleasantly surprised, and turned to look at Ye Shan, "Send a message to the Wang family. If the deed of the Zhuangzi house in Yunhe Town is sent, Wang Laosan can be released from prison."
"Yes, Mr. Hou. " "Ye Shan turned around and left.
Li Zhensheng suggested again: "Master Hou, in order to keep it secret, the Wang family on that village must not be able to use it anymore, and 500 acres of fertile land requires twenty households and a hundred people to cultivate it. . Neither the Marquis nor our village can spare so many people for the time being, so do you want to find someone to help? "
The Marquis raised his head, looked at him and smiled, "You mean...Liu Zhiheng?
Li Zhensheng also smiled, "Yes, Mr. Hou, Liu Zhiheng may seem greedy and greedy for money, but he acts very measuredly and is smart and loyal. " Moreover, the Liu family is also a local wealthy family. Even if the Wang family is unwilling to do so, they will not dare to offend easily. After getting the farmhouse, it can be placed under my name. The Wang family will only think that the Marquis is taking out the farmhouse because of me.
"I'll let out the news again and say that I have sold the farm to the Liu family and redeemed the shop and Sihaiju that I sold earlier. In this way, the Liu family will send people to farm the land and take care of the village, and no one will be suspicious. I will also go to the south to have a look. If there are any suitable goods, I can reopen the shop and restaurant business when I come back to add some income to the family."
The Marquis nodded after hearing this, and he admired the eldest brother's mind even more.
In this way, it seems to be a simple exchange, but everyone gets what they want, and it also covers the eyes and ears of the outside world.
The only question is, what kind of benefits will the Liu family provide by providing people to help mediate?
Although the old man of the Liu family seemed to be a royalist, he never returned to the court and did not clearly stand by the emperor's side to help fight against the queen mother.
He had to think carefully, if this time it was handled properly, and someone could help plant the corn and potatoes, it would also help the emperor completely conquer the Liu family...
With the first snowfall, the weather had completely cooled down.
The children of every household were forced to put on their coats and trousers reluctantly as their mothers held their ears and shouted at them.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, the children took their schoolbags and ran to the new school.
Uncle Zhao and the village chief were walking around the village with their hands behind their backs, and were almost knocked over by a naughty boy running wildly.
Uncle Zhao caught the naughty boy, patted him on the back gently, and scolded him with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? The school is so close, I can still leave you behind!"
The naughty boy made a bitter face, bowed and begged for mercy, "Grandpa Zhao, hurry up. Let me go to school. If I'm late, I'll slap you."
After that, he jumped away like a rabbit.
Uncle Zhao and the village chief both laughed, "Once the school starts, the boys have a place to gather together, and the village becomes quieter."
"Yeah, but that's fine. Children should learn to write and behave . , and he will have a future."
"The day before yesterday, I met Li Zheng from the big locust tree outside the village, and he asked about it. I listened to his wishes and wanted to send the child to study, but I was vague."
"That's it," the village chief muttered, "I'll get together with everyone tonight and see what Zhensheng and Laoer have to say."
"Yes, we are old and can protect the village, but in the long run, it's really not as good as The second brother and the others have thought carefully and carefully, so you might as well ask them more." Uncle Zhao nodded and said.
But the two of them had a good discussion, but the three surrounding villages couldn't wait any longer.
The new school is beautifully built, and all the friends who were naughty together now sit in it to read and write.
The boys in these three villages were envious. They went home to roll around and cry, and they also wanted to study.
The family feels sorry for the child, not to mention that studying is a good thing and cannot prevent the child from making progress.
As a result, many people went to their respective Li Zheng's homes and asked for help and intercession.
The Li Zhengmen also want to take this opportunity to get closer and closer to Suijintan. There will only be advantages and no disadvantages in the future.
They chose a day to visit the new village together. The three of them did not bring anything valuable, but only prepared a bundle of yellow tobacco leaves, an old hen, a basket of eggs, and a jar of good wine.
Uncle Zhao and the village chief happened to be blocked on the road. They exchanged a few pleasantries together and then went to the village chief's house to drink and gossip.
Between old and young men, as long as the wine bowl is held, there is nothing that cannot be said.
Li Zheng from Dahuaishu Village took Uncle Zhao's hand, wishing he could burst into tears, and directly played the emotional card, "Old brother, we know that because of Mr. Li's incident, the two boys in our village made a big mistake. But they have been dead for more than ten years, and no matter how big the grievances are, they have passed. If the Li family is still angry, I will go over and kowtow to them, as long as Mr. Da calms down.
"But we must not end our village just because of this matter." What a way for those boys to study. We are all ordinary people, we just hope that our children will learn some skills and make it easier to support our families in the future, don't you think so? "
The other two are not far behind.
"Yes, old brothers, you don't know, we just dig some food in the soil all year round to survive. Seeing your village so prosperous, we are so envious that our dreams are watering. "
Now we don't look forward to anything else. We just want to live with our neighbors. Can we also take care of the children in our village and give them a chance to learn skills?" "
The village chief and Uncle Zhao were complained, flattered and begged by the three old men in turn. In the end they couldn't bear it anymore and agreed in a daze.
When the sun set, Sanli was going home happily. The village chief and Uncle Zhao also sobered up, and then he felt that it was a bit rash.
The school was built with the Marquis's share of the dividend money, and the husband was the eldest son of the Li family, so that the children in the village could have a future.
Now they just agreed to accept children from other villages. , no matter how you think about it, it's a bit bad.
So, the two old men quickly went to the Li family.
The Li family was busy cooking. The Marquis took Jiayin's little hand and walked in the yard. When he saw the village chief and Uncle Zhao coming, he stayed The village chief and Uncle Zhao had something on their minds and didn't eat much .
After clearing the dining table, they started talking about the school with blushing faces.
"Drinking will delay things. We can't drink anymore in the future." .
"Yes, after being fed a few bowls of food, I became confused and agreed easily. " "
The two old men blamed themselves, with their heads hanging down, like children who had made mistakes.
The Marquis and the Li family hurriedly persuaded them, for fear that they would get angry and fall ill again.
Soon, the children were driven to play in the wing, and Li Zhensheng said: "Uncle Village Chief, Uncle Zhao, if you can't come over today, the second brother and I will also discuss this matter with you.
"On the school side, we will definitely accept children from the other three villages, but we have to take the exams and teach them. We can't accept as many as they come. In addition, after the spring starts to plant cold melons and cantaloupes, we have to bring these three villages with us."
Two of them . The old man was relieved at first, but when he heard that the cold melon and cantaloupe were to be divided up, they became anxious.
"This can't be done. Cold melons and cantaloupes are the cornucopia of our village. How can we just give them to others casually?"
Li Zhensheng quickly waved his hand to signal them to calm down, and whispered a few words at the end.
The two old men didn't react for a long time, and they were so shocked that they could put an egg in their mouths.
