At five quarters, which is almost equivalent to around two o'clock in the modern afternoon, Li Zexuan saw that the sun was not as hot as it was at noon, so he and Han Lizheng set off for Plum Village. After all, he had to do a lot of things there, and it would be later. I'm afraid I won't be able to get back in time at night.
He actually asked Han Yuxi if he wanted to go with him. After all, having such a fairy-like person by his side was so pleasing to the eye just by looking at him.
But Han Yuxi refused. It wasn't that she didn't want to accompany Li Zexuan, but she wanted to invite some girls from the same village to make mountain fruit wine together in the afternoon. The mountain fruits near Hanjiazhuang have been picked all these days, and the brewing of mountain fruit wine is at the last moment. Han Yuxi really can't leave.
As for Lan'er and Tiedan, they no longer knew where they had gone, so Li Zexuan could only go to Plum Village with Han Lizheng under the bright sun.
… …
"Hey, look, is that person Han Tianhu from Hanjiazhuang?"
There was a young man sitting on a big tree at the entrance of Meicun Village. He sat high and could see far away, and he was the first to see Li Zexuan and Han Lizheng.
"It's really Han Lizheng. Then who is the boy next to him?"
"Could it be Lord Li?"
"Nonsense, how could Lord Li be so young? And how could Lord Li go out without his entourage?"
"That's Lord Li. I saw him last time at the entrance of Qiqi Pavilion. Lord Li is here!"
"Master Li is here!"
…
Mr. Liu was lying on the bamboo mat and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly he heard the cheers of the crowd. The old man climbed up from the bamboo mat smoothly and followed the crowd with his eldest grandson to look in that direction.
Li Zexuan saw the dark crowd at the entrance of the village from a distance and was shocked. He thought some villagers were gathering to make trouble, so he and Han Li quickly stepped up to find out.
"Hello Sir Li, welcome Sir Li!"
"Hello Sir Li, welcome Sir Li!"
…
As soon as he reached the entrance of the village, Li Zexuan was startled by the uniform cheers.
"Master, the villagers in Plum Village may have known that you were coming, so they gathered at the entrance of the village in advance to welcome you!"
Han Li reminded him from the side.
Li Zexuan nodded and looked at this group of men, women and children. Many of them were skinny and sallow, and those big shirtless men were sunburnt and covered with beads of sweat. Some children were also sweating profusely, hiding behind the adults and looking at him timidly.
It was obvious that this group of people had been waiting under the scorching sun for a long time.
Li Zexuan felt very sad and secretly blamed himself for coming so late. In his previous life, he was unwilling to wait for anyone or let others wait for him, and he couldn't bear the fact that these dealers were waiting for him like this, so he hurried forward.
"Uncles and aunties, I have kept you waiting for so long!"
With this shout, Li Zexuan used some internal energy, and the excited and noisy crowd immediately calmed down. Li Zexuan then continued:
"I don't know how you all knew that I was coming, but I don't want you to come to greet me like this. I can't bear it. Seeing that many of you are sweating profusely from the sun, I will make a long story short and finish talking to you. Let’s go back to our respective homes, okay?”
"Okay, Sir, tell us, we are all listening!"
"Yes, sir, tell me!"
Li Zexuan pressed his hands and said loudly: "Then everyone listen up, from today on, this Meicun is my fiefdom, and you will no longer be bullied by Liu Shiren; from today on, all the preferential treatment enjoyed by Hanjiazhuang , including the fruit business and reduced rent for raising chickens, Meicun will also be able to enjoy it in the future; from today on, as long as you work hard, your life will only get better and better!"
"good!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"good!"
"Your Majesty, please be merciful!"
…
When everyone heard the long-awaited promise, they all cheered excitedly. Previously, they only secretly speculated that Meicun might enjoy the same preferential treatment as Hanjiazhuang. Now that they heard Li Zexuan's personal promise, they finally felt at ease. Some old farmers who had suffered before could not help but burst into tears at this time. .
Second Master Liu nodded secretly among the crowd. From the perspective of Second Master Liu, who has seen countless people, he is a good young man with good character. It seems that Second Master Liu can enjoy his old age in peace in the future. Now, we no longer have to fight with the landlords every day.
Li Zexuan let them vent their inner excitement, and then continued: "Okay, that's all I have to say. Next, if any of you don't know the specific preferential treatment of Hanjiazhuang, you can come and ask. Han Lizheng beside me, if you understand clearly, please go to Liu Lizheng in Meicun now to register how many chickens you can raise at home. I remind you to do according to your ability and not to report randomly. Is Liu Lizheng here today? "
"Come, come, sir, I'm here."
A frail old man walked out of the crowd.
Li Zexuan frowned. This Liu Lizheng had too much of a Confucian air, but lacked the domineering nature of Han Lizheng. No wonder people like Liu Shiren were able to sit on the necks of all the plum village households and do whatever they wanted.
Li Zexuan said in a serious tone: "Liu Lizheng, I will not pursue the past matters, but from today on, as Lizheng, you must ensure that all farmers in Mei Village will no longer be bullied by outsiders, otherwise you, Lizheng, will not be bullied by outsiders." There’s no need to do it any more.”
Liu Lizheng's face suddenly turned red when Li Zexuan said this, and he held his hands in confusion and said: "What Sir Alex taught me is that I acted weakly in the past, and I really feel sorry for these bankers."
When Mr. Liu saw his brother being reprimanded in the crowd, he couldn't help but want to jump out and intercede with Liu Qingfeng, but after thinking about it, he held it back. His eldest brother's temperament was indeed too weak and needed to be changed.
"Is Mr. Liu here today?"
Li Zexuan nodded, intending to give Liu Lizheng a chance, then he looked at the crowd and asked. On the way here, Han Lizheng also told him about the famous figure in Meicun, Mr. Liu. He admired and had a good impression of this somewhat chivalrous Mr. Liu.
Now that it is confirmed that the new lord is sincerely doing good for the banker, then he has nothing to do here. As Mr. Liu was about to leave, he heard Li Zexuan calling him, and the crowd immediately dispersed for Mr. Liu. Opening a channel, this is his unparalleled influence in Plum Village.
Second Master Liu came out, cupped his hands at Li Zexuan and said, "Old man, I can't bear to be called Sir. Sir, just call me Liu Wanshan."
Although Mr. Liu has a tough personality, he is not a ungrateful person. Others respect him as much as he respects others.
Li Zexuan shook his head and said with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Liu is brave and brave, and often stands up for the villagers. I admire him very much. Mr. Liu will be the deputy principal of Meicun in the future. I will report it to the court. I hope that Mr. Liu can join Liu Lizheng in the future. , manage Plum Village well."
Liu Erye wanted to refuse, but seeing Li Zexuan's sincerity, he hesitated for a moment and finally nodded and agreed: "Old man, I would like to thank you for your trust. I will definitely live up to your trust."
Li Zexuan nodded and said to Liu Lizheng: "Liu Lizheng, you should register the villagers now. I will go to the village for a walk. Before I leave, you can give me the registration results."
Liu Lizheng quickly bowed and agreed: "Yes, Sir!"
Li Zexuan shouted to the crowd again: "Uncles and aunts, if you want to register, please come to Liu Lizheng's place to register. After registration, go home as soon as possible. Don't get sick."
Everyone agreed enthusiastically. Seeing that there was nothing else for him to do here, Li Zexuan said hello to Han Lizheng and entered the village alone.
