Traveling through time as a peasant girl to turn things around
Chapter 170 Building Houses and Treating Farmers
After dinner, Little Milk Bag took out quilts and mattresses from the space, and Chai Zhen distributed them to everyone. The two maids went to rest in the same room.
Chai Zhen closed the door, walked to the bedroom, and went to find the cellar. Little Milk Bag said, "Grandpa, move the things on the kang." Chai Zhen did as Guoguo said, and moved the bedding and rolled up the straw fan and took it to the ground. A wooden board appeared on the big kang, and Chai Zhen lifted it up. Chai Zhen and Guoguo looked at each other and said, "Oh, it's so tight, how could an outsider notice that the owner was on the kang." Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, go down and take a look." Guoguo gave the night pearl to Chai Zhen. Chai Zhen held the night pearl in one hand and held Guoguo in the other, and went down the stairs. After walking for a quarter of an hour, they saw a big room with no door. Little Milk Bag went down to the ground, and Chai Zhen pulled her along. They saw a room full of bags and boxes. Chai Zhen lifted down a bag and untied the rope. "Food, the food in this big room is enough to feed tens of thousands of people for ten years." Little Milk Bag said. Chai Zhen: "Yes, we need to find out whose farm this used to belong to?" "Grandpa, let's see what's in the boxes." Chai Zhen opened a box. "Ah! The gold is so dazzling!" Little Milkbag exclaimed, "Gold! Gold! Hahaha! I'm rich! Hahaha! I'm rich!" Chai Zhen picked up an ingot, looked at it, turned it over, and said, "There's no mark on it, anyone can spend it." "Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Chai Zhen patiently explained to Guoguo, "It's just that there's no mark on it, anyone can spend it. Just like when the officials of the Great Yan Kingdom mint silver, it's marked with the year and month of minting and the Great Yan Kingdom logo. There's no such mark." Chai Zhen picked up a few more ingots, but there were none. Guoguo asked Xiao Shunzi to scan how much gold there was. After a few seconds, "Master, there are 800,000 taels of gold and 2 million taels of silver." Little Milkbag waved his hand, and all the boxes were transferred to Guoguo's space. The robot moved the boxes together and arranged them, putting the gold on one side and the silver on the other. The grain remained untouched. Grandfather and grandson left the cellar. Chai Zhen and Guo Guo said, "Let someone call the prince tomorrow to deal with these." Little Milk Bag: "Well, we don't know which corrupt official took these and what he is going to do with them? Grandpa, we didn't do anything bad, so there is no need to feel burdened." Chai Zhen understood.
The two returned to the house. Chai Zhen made the kang, swept the floor, and cleaned up. They went to the living room to wash up, changed into clean clothes, and went to the living room. Little Milk Bag poured Chai Zhen tea and took out a plate of bread, two chicken legs, and a large durian. The two looked at each other and laughed out loud. Guoguo laughed and said, "Grandpa, our family does nothing and has more money than we can spend in several lifetimes." Chai Zhen: "Yeah, yes, but it's boring to do nothing." Little Milk Bag: "Grandpa, Guoguo knows. Born in hardship, die in comfort! Guoguo will work hard." Chai Zhen looked at Guoguo. This child is precocious, more than precocious! He is clearly a fairy child. He also has an upright and loving heart! He hates evil and can clearly distinguish between good and evil. His Chai family must have cultivated for several lifetimes to have this child. Chai Zhen felt so comforted! She said, "It would be great if we had some wine to drink now!" When the little milk bag heard this, he made a few movements with his little hands, and a bag of wine bottles appeared. He said, "Grandpa, drink it, these are all good wines." Guoguo took out a bottle and said, "This is Congtai Baijiu." She put it on the table. This was Hengshui Laobai Gan. Guoguo took it out and put it on the table as well, and said, "This big bottle is the wine I brewed myself." She took out a glass and poured a glass for Chai Zhen, saying, "Grandpa, try this wine." Chai Zhen picked up the wine that Guoguo gave him, took a sip, and drank it slowly. He said, "It's sweet, with a rich aroma, and it won't make you drunk. It tastes good." "The alcohol content is not high. Grandpa can drink it every day. It's good for your health! We have grape vines at home, so we can brew more." Chai Zhen: "Okay! Grandpa, find someone to do it." The little milk bag: "Okay. Guoguo wrote down the recipe for Grandpa." "Okay, if we can't finish it, we can sell it." Chai Zhen took a few sips of tea and ate a few bites of chicken legs. The tea was also fragrant, so he took a few more sips of wine. This is a day like a god's! Grandfather and grandson are enjoying this happy moment. ...
At dawn, after breakfast, the owner of the manor, Wang Youzhi, arrived to await his family's instructions. Chai Zhen thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know who owned this manor in the past?"
The owner of the manor, Wang Youzhi, said, "This is the manor of the Minister of Revenue. I heard that he committed a crime and was taken into custody by the government. It was once taken care of by a eunuch, and now it is managed by a villain."
Chai Zhen and Guo Guo looked at each other and thought, this isn't something that belongs to a Minister of Revenue. It's probably been manipulated, and he's involved. Little Milk Bag: "Is there anything different about your room?" The owner: "Ah? No, nothing." Little Milk Bag: "Do you know what's hidden in your room?" The owner shook his head and said, "I don't know." Little Milk Bag: "Ignorance is not the worst. Go tell everyone to rest and wash up in the afternoon. Come here for the meeting. And call a few people who can butcher pigs." The owner hurried away.
Little Naibao put the pigs in the backyard. There were fifteen pigs and ten cows. "Uncle Li, have someone tie up the cows and pigs. Go back to the city and have the prince come here. Tell him Guoguo has something urgent to tell him."
Li Biaotou: "Okay, I'll go right away." Li Biaotou walked out and called his men to do the work. He rode back to the city to report to the prince.
The owner, Wang Youzhi, summoned someone skilled in pig butchering. They were led to the backyard, where they drove the pigs out and slaughtered them a little way outside the main gate. The owner's wife and the village women from yesterday heated water for the slaughter. Several large chopping boards were found and set up in the yard. The owner had distributed meat to the residents of the manor, and the entire village was filled with joy this morning. Every household was heating water to bathe and change clothes. The children, dressed in clean clothes, ran around and played. Normally, the children helped the adults in the fields, but today their parents had let them out to play! ...
Hearing the shouts, Little Milk Bag stepped out the door in her shorts, followed by her two maids. Seeing the children chasing and playing, Little Milk Bag followed suit. Noting her attractive attire, the children asked, "Who are you? What's your name?" Little Milk Bag: "My name is Guoguo. What's yours?" "My name is Li Tiedan." "My name is Xiaoer." "Xiaoer? That's not a name?" Xiaoer: "That's what my parents call me." "Oh, I see. You have a brother, right?" Little Milk Bag said. "Yes, I have a sister, two years old." "My name is Xiaopang." Little Milk Bag looked at them and said, "You're not fat, you just look chubby." Little Milk Bag noticed that they were all wearing patched clothes, but they looked clean. Little Milk Bag: "How about we have a running race?" The children clapped their hands and said happily, "Sure." Seeing Guoguo had left, Chai Zhen decided to come out to check it out, put down the account book, and went outside. The children were running in the open space. He watched the boys run together, sprinting forward with all their might. Her Guoguo was also running, and was running ahead. Chai Zhen looked at her and laughed. He said to the maid, "Make some delicious food."
I'll give it to the children later." "Okay, I'll go right away." Qiuju, Dongshuang, go back and make some snacks.
Around noon, Ye Heng arrived on horseback, followed by Li Biaotou and several of his followers. Chai Zhen and Guoguo were returning home, and the maids distributed sweet snacks to the children: large hemp twists. Each child received a few. Little Milk Bag: "Little Second Brother, Little Fatty Brother, we're playing this afternoon. Guoguo's coming home." Little Second: "Okay, sister, see you this afternoon." Little Fatty: "Okay, we're playing this afternoon." Tiedan: "Yes, we're playing this afternoon. Waiting for you." Little Milk Bag waved, looking back every step, and was led back by Chai Zhen. Ye Heng picked up Guoguo and said, "Did you miss me?" Little Milk Bag: "Yes." Ye Heng: "Haha, brother, you look at how fast you run and how much fun you have. Where do you miss me?" Little Milk Bag grabbed Ye Heng's hand, pointed at his chest, and said, "That's where I miss you." Ye Heng blushed, laughing to hide his embarrassment. "Let's go drink some water." Little Milk Bag: "Brother, are you thirsty?" Ye Heng: "You look so sweaty from running, you need to drink some water." ...
Chai Zhen and Ye Heng came to the living room, Li Biao came up with some tea, and then stood at the door. "No one is allowed to come in," said Chai Zhen.
Chai Zhen: "Your Highness," Chai Zhen just opened his mouth when he was stopped by Ye Heng, who said, "Second Uncle, just call me Ye Heng, or call me Fengxing, which is my courtesy name." Little Milk Bag: "Fengxing?! Hahahaha" Little Milk Bag laughed loudly, "Fengxing, Fengxing Fengxing?" Ye Heng: Guo, what are you laughing at? Little Milk Bag stopped laughing, thinking to himself, it's a name, he shook his head and looked at Ye Heng without saying anything. Ye Heng was still staring at Guoguo, and Little Milk Bag was embarrassed to say that the name was not good. Chai Zhen said, "Your Highness, ah, Fengxing, do you know whose family this farm was before?"
Ye Heng: "This belongs to the former Minister of Revenue. Does Second Uncle have any problem?" Chai Zhen: "Well, it's quite a big deal. How about this, you go and see for yourself and you'll know." Ye Heng: "Okay, Second Uncle, lead the way." Ye Heng carried Guoguo, and Li Biaotou followed.
Arriving at the garden, Chai Zhen opened the mechanism and several people went in. Li Biaotou stood guard outside, by the flower bed.
Ye Heng saw boxes of silver, gold, and jewelry. He felt heavy in his heart. It was all because of these parasites that the common people were living in poverty. He would never complain even if he died many times. Ye Heng said, "Thank you, Second Uncle."
Ye Heng bowed deeply to Chai Zhen. Chai Zhen said, "Our family is doing well now. We have no shortage of money. Let's spend it on the people of our country, especially the soldiers at the front who are short of food and clothing. A prosperous country means a strong people. When everyone is blessed, the people will have a good life." Ye Heng said, "Second uncle is so righteous. I admire you!" Ye Heng added, "Sister Guoguo, take whatever jewelry you like." The little kid shook his head and said, "Guoguo has already taken the jewelry. Um, two boxes." The little kid looked at Ye Heng and said, "Brother Ye?" Her little face was facing Ye Heng, and Ye Heng couldn't say no. Hahahahahahahahahaha, "Sister Guoguo is so cute! It makes me laugh to death. Hahahahahahaha! Take more if you want. Brother Ye can take the rest." Chai Zhen didn't even know that Guoguo had taken the things. Look at the child. "Hey, you need to tell your grandfather." Little Milk Bag: "Yes, Guoguo knows. When Guoguo found it, he saw the jewelry and thought of Mom, so he put away the two boxes." Ye Heng: "It's nothing. Guoguo can take it if you want it. I have it in the storeroom in the palace. Guoguo, just tell me what you want." Little Milk Bag: "Okay, when I'm not busy, I'll take Guoguo to see your storeroom." Ye Heng: "Okay, I'll take you there when I find time." Chai Zhen: "Fengxing, you can find a car to take it." Ye Heng: "Okay, I'll go back and find a car. Tomorrow night, there are so many, it will attract too much attention during the day." Chai Zhen: "That's right." The three of them came out. They closed the mechanism again and returned to the front yard.
Lunch was ready, and the three of them ate at the same table. After the meal, the three of them went into the inner room. Chai Zhen put away the things on the kang and opened the cellar. "Go in and take a look." Ye Heng looked at the situation and said seriously, "Okay." He picked up Guo Guo and went down to the cellar. He looked at the bags in the room and opened them. "They are all grain. This is a thousand acres of land. How many years did it take to save so much grain? It seems that some of it was bought in." Chai Zhen: "Yes! Fortunately, the grain is not spoiled. It would be a pity if it was!" Ye Heng looked at it with a pain in his heart. People were starving to death every year, but there was so much grain here. "This Minister of Revenue deserves to die? I will interrogate him when I get back? He can't escape death. Even if I kill him ten times, it won't be enough. Second uncle, go up." Chai Zhen understood. "Go up."
Ye Heng: "Uncle, I'm going back. Please stay here and watch over you. I'll leave some secret guards to protect you." Chai Zhen: "Go ahead, you're busy. Take care." Ye Heng: "Okay, I'm leaving. Sister Guoguo, Brother Ye will go back first." Little Milk Bag: "Okay, go ahead."
Chai Zhen saw Ye Heng off and went outside. Li Biaotou was standing in the yard with his brothers, looking after something. The oxen had been led to the front yard. There was an open space outside the gate, and someone had brought in a table and stools.
The owner of the manor, Wang Youzhi, walked up to Chai Zhen and said, "Master, everyone is here." Chai Zhen asked, "Are all the people here?" "Not yet. There are a few elderly people lying on the kang, unable to get up. They haven't come yet, but they will be here soon." Chai Zhen took out the household register and called out the names, saying, "Zhang Laoer, Zhang Laoer." Chai Zhen looked up and saw who was Zhang Laoer. "Everyone I called out, stand to my right." The owner of the manor continued, "Zhang Laoer, come out, the master is calling you!" Zhang Laoer stood up. Chai Zhen saw him and said, "Don't be afraid, come to my right. I want to recognize everyone!" Zhang Laoer then came out and walked to Chai Zhen's right. "Call your family here." Zhang Laoer: "Okay, master." He then went to pull his wife and children to stand with him. Chai Zhen looked at them and asked, "Is this your family?" "Yes, master." "The little milk bag saw Xiao Er. He nodded and smiled at him. Zhang Xiao Er also smiled at Guo Guo and lowered his head. Seeing that his father was afraid, he also lowered his head. He thought to himself that sister Guo Guo was a good person and nothing would happen to his family. He raised his head again and looked at sister Guo Guo. The little milk bag also looked at her and smiled. Zhang Lao Er: "Hmm." Chai Zhen asked again; "How many people are there in your family?" Zhang Lao Er: "Six people. My father is lying on the kang and didn't come." Chai Zhen: "Hmm, I know. Do you have enough food?" Zhang Lao Er said, "It's better this year and we can all have enough to eat." Chai Zhen: "Hmm. Is your old man lying on the kang because he is old or sick?" Zhang Lao Er did not speak, for fear that his family would be driven away. His father was sick and the family had no money. He had been lying for almost half a year. He was too weak to get up and had no good food to eat. He was about to die. Chai Zhen asked again, "Is the old man in poor health?" "Zhang Laoer had to speak, and replied, "I'm sick, but I don't have money to see a doctor." He lowered his head after speaking. Chai Zhen said again, tomorrow morning, no, tonight, a doctor will come to your house to see the old man, and you can come here again when it gets dark. Zhang Laoer heard it and said, "Okay, okay, master." He finished speaking tremblingly. He was happy that the master was a good person. Chai Zhen said to the people around him, "Ride to get Master Chen Jun." "Well, second uncle, I'll go." The bodyguard Xiao Ning said. Chai Zhen: "Well, go quickly and come back soon. Let him bring the medicine box." "Got it." Xiao Ning strode home and got the horse.
