This kind of fighting with others is what Bai Erlang likes the most, mainly because it doesn't take too much brainpower, and he still has the upper hand, which can make people suffer secretly, 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 appreciate this kind of fun, but seeing that Bai Erlang would rather refuse Bai Shan's invitation for two days in a row, but also go to Xincheng to watch the steward rent a shop for others, as long as he sees the smile on the steward's face He was very happy when he was stiff, and even she couldn't help being happy, faintly touching that kind of 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 manager didn't dare to play tricks, because Ming Da and Bai Erlang had set the floating range of the rent early in the morning, so that he would not be able to raise the rent to scare people away.
So those business travellers, who were found by the stewards after a lot of effort, turned around and signed a contract directly with the princess, paying the rent and getting the shop.
When the stewards received the news, they wanted to vomit blood. They had been looking at the shop for a few days. Seeing that the deal was about to be completed, who would have thought that a Princess Mingda would appear on the way
They didn't dare to go to Princess Mingda, so they could only go to the princess's steward angrily.
Although you have never said 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. Turned around but cut off the beard for us
If there is no such reason, do you still talk about the morality of the world
Compared with the morality of the rivers and lakes and the stakes between the master and the servant, it is not worth mentioning. The princess and the concubine are sitting in the shop next door. They make a lot of noise...
If the princess and the son-in-law knew what happened here, his little life would be unnecessary.
So he had no choice but to reluctantly return the things he had collected before, and even subsidized a little by himself. He said with heartache: "Our princess and consort are watching this matter in person, and you have also seen the two notices on the street and at the end of the street. , Before our shop is fully rented out, it is impossible for you to rent out the shop at a high price."
"That's not what you said earlier..."
"I didn't expect the princess to value the shops in this street so much," the steward said, "This is a street in Xincheng. There are only so many people in Xincheng. Our princess has countless properties. Not to mention that there are shops in the capital, it is The income from the fiefdom will be quite a lot in one year, how did I know that the princess would personally manage the property in the new city?"
"Anyway, everyone thinks it's unlucky."
"How can this work..."
"Why can't this work? The shop you rented is the lowest rent I can give you. The location is good. Even if you can't rent it out, you can use it to do business yourself." He threatened secretly: "Princess Just sit in the shop next to you, take a step back, hello, hello, hello, everyone, otherwise if there is a fight, I won't be able to please you, but you and the master behind you can please?"
They fell silent for a moment.
But I still don't want to be reconciled. There are not many people in this new city now, and after spending so much on renovation, I will definitely lose money later.
A few people gritted their teeth and decided to go back and tell the host that this matter had to be delayed.
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.
Mingda was very happy, Bai Erlang was also very happy, but the emperor was not very happy.
This year, there is drought in Yongzhou, the capital city, and other areas in the Central Plains are more or less drought-stricken. Therefore, this year's field leave is not only released earlier, but also extended for three days.
Officials who needed to go home to farm had a total of fifteen days, half a month's vacation, together with their holidays.
He thought that the daughter would follow the son-in-law back to the palace for a while to accompany his old father, but after the holiday, the daughter didn't even live in the capital, and went directly to live in the Huangzhuang.
Oh, Bai Er is also on field leave, because he said he was going to plant the land in Huangzhuang, and his boss approved the note for him with an indescribable expression on his face.
Wei Zhi also took field leave, but he didn't take fifteen days off, but ten days off, even ten days is not pure, and after returning from the field to the mansion every day, he will still deal with official duties.
Wei Zhi has a piece of land in Yongzhou, which was bought by his family.
This year was dry, so he personally followed the long-term workers to fetch water to irrigate the fields, then watched them plow the fields, and rolled up their trouser legs to plant rice seedlings with them.
Unfortunately, that piece of land is very close to the piece of land that Lao Zhoutou used as a dowry for Man Bao.
Because of the drought, the two new tenants this year repented. They also had their own land, but they didn't expect the drought to be so severe in spring. Obviously, they couldn't grow so much land, so they had to return Zhouman's land.
When Lao Zhou saw it, he couldn't help talking, and brought his sons and daughters-in-law to farm.
Man Bao and Bai Shan simply took field leave, rolled up their trousers and went to the field wearing big straw hats.
There are no canals coming here, so we can only open the ridges above, and let the water down one by one, but the water in the river is low, so everyone can only carry water.
It is impossible for Manbao 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 sprinkled.
Even with the lid on the bucket, it doesn't really work.
The two squatted on the car and looked at the bucket in a daze, "It would be nice to have a water wheel."
There are water trucks dedicated to transporting water, but where can I find them for a while? Moreover, waterwheels are expensive to build, and they cannot directly pay more than harvesting for farming.
Old Zhou Tou knocked the big clods in the field and came back. Seeing the two children staring at the barrels and frowning, he glanced at the ox cart and said with an ouch: "You have spilled all the way!" What a waste of water."
Muttering to them, "You don't pick a few big leaves and put them in a bucket and cover them..."
Man Bao and Bai Shan's eyes lit up, and they both remembered that when the villagers went to fetch water, they liked to put a lotus leaf in the wooden barrel, so that when the water was swaying, they would not spill a lot of water.
Man Bao jumped out of the car immediately, and said to Lao Zhou, "Dad, don't worry, the water will not be wasted, and if it falls on the ground, it will be eaten by grass. When the grass grows, let our cattle eat it." .”
Old Zhou Tou: ... This is so busy, the rice and wheat have no water to drink, and they are given to the grass first.
The two of them led the ox cart to pull 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 down the wooden barrels on the cart and filled them with water. Man Bao went to pick some big leaves and put them in the barrel before putting the lid on.
