After hoarding billions of goods and traveling through the book, he farmed in another world to suppo

There are not only tenant farmers on the farm, but also people from the surrounding villages. They all come here to earn some money during the slack season. Most of them are honest people, but there are inevitably some who take advantage of the situation occasionally.

In addition, in order to rush the work, the wages here are not only much higher than usual, but are also paid on the same day, so more people come.

Before, there were people who not only took advantage of the situation but also instigated those around them to cheat and be cunning. Fortunately, most people were honest.

At that time, Niu Dahe drove away those troublemakers, but they brought people to make trouble and were beaten up by Xiao Li.

Everyone was in so much pain, but they couldn't find where the injury was. After returning, they had nightmares about their own tragic deaths for half a month. How could they dare to come again?

After that, everyone in the farm and the people in the nearby villages knew that although the owner of this farm looked young, he was the one who should not be provoked.

Niu Dahe's smile faded, and he sighed, "Several people nearby said they also helped build this house, and they want you to promise that their children can also go to school without paying tuition."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan was furious, "They work for wages, and we built this house with our own money. We can do whatever we want, what does it have to do with them?

And how could they be compared with tenant farmers? In addition to renting land from our farm to farm, tenant farmers also help farm the land for wages, making them half part of the farm.

"These outsiders who come to work for wages want to be treated like tenant farmers. Are they crazy?"

In the past, Lu Yuan would not have said these words, and she would not have been so angry, but she would have been worried.

But in the past two years, he had learned a lot from following Xiao Li to study and learn to read. He also often heard Xiao Li say some strange but very reasonable things, and he was gradually influenced by him.

Niu Dahe was also angry. "They also threatened that if we didn't agree, people from their villages would stop coming to work."

"Then let them go!" Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold. "I don't believe there is a shortage of people in this world. If no one is willing to come here, then go find them in the city. I'm not afraid of spending more money.

If it weren't for the fact that they all lived nearby and had a hard time, I would have wanted them to come and work so they could earn some money and make their lives a little better.

We don't ask them to be grateful, but since they are unjust, don't blame us for being unkind!"

Niu Dahe rarely saw him so sharp, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Yes, young master, I know what to do."

Xiao Li's eyes were full of admiration, her husband had finally grown up.

Niu Dahe went to deal with this matter. Lu Yuan thought about it and didn't follow him. She looked at the man beside her with a sad look, "Did I do something wrong?"

At the beginning, Xiao Li suggested going to the city to invite people who specialize in building houses. They are experts in this field and not only can they do a good job, but they can also do it faster.

But Lu Yuan felt that there were so many poor people near their village, and most of the tenant farmers came from those villages, so he could at least help them.

But he never thought that his good intentions would bring bad things. Not only did someone in front of him cheat and act cunningly, but he also continued to cause trouble after being driven away.

If my husband hadn't beaten them to scare them, who knows how long they would have continued to make trouble.

As for this house, it was because my husband wanted to build it and run a private school because he selfishly wanted all the girls and boys to be able to read and write.

If it hadn't happened, so many things wouldn't have happened later.

Seeing that he was about to get stuck in a rut, Xiao Li gently squeezed his hand and said, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. This is none of Yuan'er's business."

"I know, I just can't understand," Lu Yuan sighed, looking at him blankly. "Even if they also wanted to send their children to private school, even if they wanted to be exempted from paying tuition like the tenant farmers, why couldn't they just come to us and talk to us? Why did they have to do it this way?"

To put it bluntly, what's the difference between this and repaying kindness with enmity?

Xiao Li knew that his young husband was kind, and he also knew that he was sad and blamed himself because his kindness was betrayed.

He did not rush to comfort them, "Because they have no confidence, they think they can control us, but in fact they are just bluffing and fantasizing.

Truly smart people would not join him in causing trouble, and they cannot speak for the entire village.

The human heart is unpredictable. Yuan'er is not wrong, they are the ones who are wrong."

Lu Yuan had known this truth for a long time, but when it really happened to him, he still felt sad.

He looked back at the people who were being driven away, and saw that few people followed him. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You're right, it's their fault."

There were a large number of tenant farmers, and there were also many sensible people, so they all worked together to drive them away, fearing that they would get involved.

The children of tenant farmers can attend the private school on the farm without paying tuition, and the people who come to do odd jobs can work here and earn money. Not only this time, but also after they finish their busy farming seasons, they will come to the farm to do odd jobs and can also get wages. If they offend the boss, such matters will have nothing to do with them.

The troublemakers were some people from a few villages who were greedy for small profits. They were not welcome in the neighborhood, and Niu Dahe was not familiar with them, so that's why those people got in.

Not long after, those people were driven away.

Lu Yuan had calmed down and retracted his gaze. He shook Xiao Li's hand and said, "Husband, let's go!"

"Okay." Xiao Li responded and took him away in the direction of Xiaoqingshan.

They had other things to do today, and they came here to see the progress of the house construction just because the young husband wanted to know.

He really cared about the girl and boy's reading and literacy, and asked about their progress every day.

When my husband is free, he will accompany him to come and see it in person. When he is not free, he will let Niu Dahe report to him.

If it weren't for the fact that he, a husband, didn't find it easy to be with a group of men, he would come here every day!

As the two of them walked towards Xiaoqingshan, the Qingshan Temple in the mountain was particularly lively.

Yu Qingshan's uncles, aunts, and brothers all came back one after another. Even his master, who became the national master, quietly returned to Qingshan Temple.

After chatting with his long-lost uncles and fellow disciples, Yu Qingshan followed his master to his own courtyard.

Taoist Qingxu looked at his disciple, who looked ten years younger, and nodded with satisfaction. "Give him a few more years of care, and you'll be able to make up for that lost time. If things go well and you gain merit, you'll live even longer than Master."

"Let everything be as fate dictates," Yu Qingshan said, not caring too much about life or death. "Master, is there something wrong in the palace? Or... has it already begun?"

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are irreversible, and man-made disasters are also difficult to avoid.

"My guess is correct," Taoist Qingxu nodded slightly, frowning as he continued, "The three northern states are currently experiencing drought. Even though Your Majesty has previously issued an order to prepare for water storage, it's still just a drop in the bucket."

If it weren't for the grain seeds that Young Master Xiao sold to Your Majesty over the past two years, which gave Your Majesty time to promote them nationwide, I'm afraid it wouldn't just be a water problem now.

Food and water have always been the lifeline of the people. Lack of one of them is half the cost of their lives, and lack of both is tantamount to directly costing them their lives.

Now, His Majesty has sent the prince to the three northern states to try to relocate more people to the vicinity of Qinghe.

In addition, there were also signs of trouble in the other three directions. He calculated three hexagrams in the palace, and all three were omens of great misfortune.

Yu Qingshan had truly experienced those turbulent years, and his blood froze when he heard this.

Taoist Qingxu noticed something was wrong with his disciple, frowned and woke him up: "Qingshan."

After Yu Qingshan recovered, he sighed and said with heartache and helplessness: "We have made all the preparations we can this time, and we will definitely not repeat the mistakes you mentioned.

The fate of Young Master Xiao's family has changed, and naturally the fate of the rest of the people will not remain unchanged either.

You have done enough for the people of this world. Let things take their course in the future. It won't be worse than the last time."

Yu Qingshan grew up by his side. It would be more accurate to say they were father and son rather than master and apprentice.

The fate of the entire sect last time was too tragic. Yu Qingshan nodded reluctantly. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from outside, "Master, Uncle, Master Xiao and his husband are here."

Taoist Qingxu has been staying in the palace for the past few years and has not returned to Qingshan Temple. He has no chance to meet the Young Master Xiao mentioned by his disciples.

He stood up and walked out, "Where is Master Xiao? I'll go see him."

After saying this, he stepped out of the door and happened to meet the eyes of the elegant and indifferent young man in the yard.

His dark eyes were deep and cold as he looked at the Master Xiao that his disciple had mentioned.

Next to Mr. Xiao stood a handsome young man with a gentle smile. I guess he was Mr. Xiao’s husband.

"I am Taoist Qingxu," Taoist Qingxu performed a Taoist salute, "Please come in, my two distinguished guests."

While he was looking at Xiao Li and the others, they were also looking at Taoist Qingxu.

His hair and beard are all white, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes are full of vicissitudes. Unlike Yu Qingshan who gives people a kind feeling, Taoist Qingxu gives people a sense of majesty and inviolability.

Xiao Li had seen all kinds of people before, and he nodded calmly, "Master Qingxu."

It was Lu Yuan's first time meeting such an imposing person. She greeted him with curiosity and a bit of awe, "Master Qingxu."

Taoist Qingxu led them inside and turned around to see his disciple, whose expression had returned to normal. A glint of relief flashed in his eyes, "Qingshan, let's have some tea."

"Yes, Master." Yu Qingshan responded, then nodded slightly to Xiao Li and the others, "This is my master. If Young Master Xiao has anything to say to me, you can just say it to my master."

Taoist Qingxu knew everything that happened between them, and Xiao Li was also aware of this matter.

"Yeah." He responded and walked in with Lu Yuan. The other party asked them to sit down and talk. Not long after, Yu Qingshan also came back.

They stayed in the house for nearly half an hour. When they walked out of the house, except for Lu Yuan who had only a vague idea of what was going on, the expressions of the other three did not seem to be very relaxed.

Even Lu Yuan, who only had a vague understanding of the situation, knew that the world was not at peace and that the north might be in chaos.

Fortunately, they have now come to the capital, which is still a long way from the three northern states. Half a year ago, because the old couple missed their neighbors in Yangliu Village, Xiao Li sent a letter to remind them and also made arrangements with the Xiao residence in Nan'an County, asking them to help the people in Yangliu Village if necessary.

Xiao Li sent out six letters in total, which were delivered to: the three Ma Da brothers, the village chief of Yangliu Village, Xiao Laofu, Yang Ergou, the head of Sanhe Township, and the magistrate of Nan'an County.

The letters to the next five people were all delivered secretly by the three Ma Da brothers. For example, for the three letters sent to Yangliu Village, he also instructed them to watch the other party read the letter and then destroy it to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The letter to the village head and the county magistrate asked them not to reveal their identities and to give them a warning.

As for larger areas, like the entire Liangzhou, Xiao Li didn't have to do anything, as the emperor would naturally take care of them.

When sending them out of Qingshan Temple, Yu Qingshan opened his mouth several times as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he closed it instead.

Lu Yuan saw it, nudged Xiao Li lightly with her elbow, and signaled him to look to the side with her eyes.

Xiao Li glanced at Yu Qingshan. Seeing that Yu Qingshan was about to leave Qingshan Temple, and the other party had no intention of speaking yet, he said speechlessly: "If you hesitate any longer, we will leave."

"..." Yu Qingshan sighed and looked at them, mainly at Lu Yuan, but he was talking to Xiao Li, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but...

The old Taoist knows that what I am thinking of is too much to ask. Young Master Xiao has already declined it. However, since this concerns the lives of the people of the world, the old Taoist still wants to shamelessly ask Young Master Xiao, are you willing to help? "

Lu Yuan wanted to say that they had done enough, but Yu Qingshan explained first, "I know that Master Xiao has helped a lot, but you are the one who broke the deadlock. Your every move concerns the lives of all people in the world."

What Xiao Li was most worried about in the past was her husband's death. Now that Lu Yuan has survived, logically speaking, he can just let go and watch.

But ever since the old Taoist priest "accidentally" let Lu Yuan know about the death crisis, the young husband has been particularly keen on doing good deeds, saying that he wanted to accumulate virtue for his family and children.

Xiao Li naturally would not suppress his enthusiasm, but he also did not want to get involved in such a big event.

However, before he could refuse, the young husband asked, "What can my husband do? If even you, the Taoist priest, can't do it, how can my husband do it?"

Lu Yuan knew that Xiao Li could do it, but everyone has selfish desires. His selfish desire was to hope that his family could be together, everyone was safe and healthy, and had no worries about food and clothing.

As for letting her husband become a hero who saves the world, he didn't dare to think about it, and he had never thought about it.

Her husband doesn't have such lofty ambitions. He doesn't even want to take the imperial examination, so how could he want to be a hero?

Xiao Limei's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at her young husband helplessly. She really wanted to ask: In Yuan'er's heart, how come I can't even compare to a stinky Taoist priest?

Yu Qingshan knew that this was a polite rejection and sighed again, "Forget it, it seems that everything is destined."

As they were talking, the three of them had already reached the entrance of Qingshan Temple.

Xiao Li stopped and said, "If you really need me, you can come to me. As long as my family is safe, I will do my best to help."

He is not a good person with a strong sense of social responsibility, nor is he someone who would not help others even if he has the ability.
