I am engaged in construction in Datang

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Except for Xiaoqiu and Wang Dahai, almost everyone in the village is here.

As usual, a bonfire was lit, wine was prepared, and the goose was stewed.

Zhao Shitou enjoyed the meal especially. He was badly twisted today, with bruises all over his body. Even applying medicinal wine didn't make him feel much better.

It was so painful that I had to endure it.

"This moon is so round." Li Yin drank the wine Xiaochun brought back earlier and looked up at the starry sky: "It looks like an LED light."

"Master, what is Aiao Yidideng?"

Li Yin turned her head and saw Xiaochun and the others approaching. "It is a lighting device that can emit light without being lit."

"Is it the Night Pearl?"

"No." Li Yin shook her head: "It is something brighter than the Night Pearl. It can make the night as bright as day."

"Xiaochun should know that I left space for wiring in buildings like Tianshang Renjian and low-rent housing, so that it will be convenient to install electric lights in the future."

"LED lights are more powerful than electric lights."

Several people lay down next to Li Yin, and the cool breeze blew away a few wisps of sorrow.

"After the sports meet, ask me to make something interesting so we can relax." Li Yin looked at the tired faces of several people and finally decided to give everyone a good holiday.

There is a lot of land and few people in the village, so autumn harvest is a troublesome task.

Early the next morning, the tenants began to pack up their tools, such as hoes and sickles, and went to the fields to harvest crops.

Most of the fields on the village are experimental fields, and the growth of the crops varies. A field with exceptionally lush growth may be accompanied by a field with withered and short crops next to it.

The tenants were heartbroken, but there was nothing they could do; they had to try to find the best seeds.

If the village has money and cannot pay the grain tax, it can use silver to pay it off.

Previously, Li Shimin wanted to exempt the farm from taxes, but was rejected by Li Yin. Tax exemption was not a good thing. She didn't even want the red book and iron certificate, let alone tax exemption.

"The Merit Monument is still better..."

Li Yin murmured, "I want to use the merit tablet to go around the village!"

The canteen in the village has been open all day these days, and food is always available for everyone, in case someone faints from low blood sugar.

"Master, we have to hire some people." Feng Sanxi smiled bitterly. Of the 1200 acres of land, 760 acres needed to be mowed!

Apart from the children, there are only about forty people in the village who are free to go to the fields. It will take half a month to harvest, right?

“……” Li Yin glanced at Uncle Sanxi and was speechless.

When farming was going on, the oxen were there, so people didn't find it hard. But now that the animals are of no use, everyone is starting to have a headache.

There are so many eunuchs and palace maids in Li Shimin's palace, and they just serve the concubines all day long. What a waste!

How about asking him to come over and help divide the land?

Li Yin sighed: "Then go hire..."

"The owner of the village!"

Li Yingwu came running over, took a few deep breaths, and then said excitedly: "Master, the people from the nearby villages and the village are here to help us harvest!"

"There are so many people here, and they were brought here by the village head!" Li Yingwu's eyes became red as he spoke.

Where had he ever seen such a scene before?

During the busy farming season, who would be willing to spend time collecting crops for others?

Li Yin's eyes lit up, and she shouted, "Uncle Sanxi, make mutton soup and steamed buns for lunch!"

After saying that, he ran away hurriedly.

Giving money is not an option. If someone comes to help you with good intentions and you insist on giving them money, you are just insulting them.

far away.

The two groups gathered together, tense and tense.

"What do you mean? This piece of land was grabbed by our Xiaoniu Village first!"

"Nonsense!" Zhu Xiaoqiang said with a frown. They were clearly the first to arrive. They didn't know where the Xiaoniu Village came from. "We in the Xiaozhu Village saw it first."

"Everyone, let's not quarrel..." Zhao Erniu, with a smile on his face, inserted himself between the two of them to mediate.

"Old Zhao, please judge for yourself. Who do you think this land belongs to?"

The two groups looked at Zhao Erniu at the same time, staring at him until he broke out in a cold sweat.

What the hell is this!

"I think..." Zhao Erniu had just opened his mouth when the two groups of people walked around him and started pushing him again.

"Okay, you won't move aside, right?"

"You should get out of the way! The thief is crying thief!" Zhu Xiaoqiang said, waving his hand: "Let's go, I don't care about them, let's go harvest the wheat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of men behind him ran towards the fields like wild horses and started harvesting immediately.

"Hey! You are so shameless!" The other party was not willing to show weakness. He waved his hand and the man behind him also ran into the field to harvest.

"..."

The autumn wind blew through Zhao Erniu's hair, making him look a little lonely.

"Old Zhao!" Li Yingwu came running over with Li Yin: "What are you doing standing here alone?"

Zhao Erniu looked at the men from other villages who were harvesting over there with a complicated look, and shook his head: "Nothing."

The three of them went to look for the village heads together. The village heads rarely had time to get together and communicate, so today was a good opportunity.

"Ma Lizheng, Niu Lizheng, Chang Lizheng..." Li Yin greeted them one by one.

"Master Li!" Mali from Xiaozhu Village was overjoyed. Master Li still remembered him!

After exchanging greetings, everyone began to talk about the development of the village.

They needed some pointers from Master Li before they could proceed to the next step. Master Li's previous suggestions had benefited them greatly.

……

Xianyang.

Zheng Wen followed Old Man Wang to Liu's house, and the two walked in from the backyard.

As you enter the door, there is a long back room. There is a large flower bed between the back room and the main room. It is early autumn and the flowers in the flower bed are withering.

The ancients said that the deeper the courtyard, the richer it is. The Liu family’s house has three courtyards.

Old man Wang walked without stopping, taking Zheng Wen directly into the main courtyard. A middle-aged man was playing horse riding with a child. He was shaking a rattle in front of him to tease him, and the child was patting the horse and shouting "Gee!" about a meter away.

"Mr. Liu."

Old man Wang smiled and trotted forward: "Didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to find a teacher?"

"What a coincidence! The old man just happened to meet someone in his own restaurant."

Zheng Wen shifted his gaze from the doll to the so-called Mr. Liu.

The man was of medium build, with an ordinary appearance, small eyes, and liked to squint when looking at people: "Master... what is your name?"

The man opened his mouth, revealing a gold tooth.

"My surname is Wen, and my given name is Guan'er." Zheng Wen bowed and said, "Others observe their hearts, but I observe my ears. I just let nature take its course."

"What a good name!" The man continued, "My last name is Liu, and my name is Shen."

Liu Shen handed the rattle to the child and said, "Please follow me, Master."

Old man Wang didn't move, and Zheng Wen followed the man to the lobby.

"Master, have you ever passed the college entrance examination?"

"I am not talented. I passed the autumn examination three years ago." Zheng Wen said with a wry smile: "I was ambitious and went to Beijing to take the exam, but who knew that I would pass the spring examination...ah..."

"I have no face to go back home, so I just waste my time here."

Liu Shen understood that there were many such students every year: "Master Wen will be extraordinary after passing the Autumn Examination!"

"Mr. Liu, you are too kind."

Zheng Wen shook his head and sighed, and the two of them exchanged pleasantries and the matter was settled.
