Feng Dao was bare-shirted, his skin on his body was as black as his face, and he looked even more like an old farmer than the old farmer. Xu Xian almost didn't recognize him, "How could the Grand Master be here?"

Feng Dao spitted in his hand and grabbed the sickle with both hands, bowed down and waved it gently. With a swish, a small piece of the stalks fell, "Not like you, you can cut the stalks like you, I don't know when to do it. I'm afraid there are not many of you two hundred people who can do farm work, otherwise this piece of land would have been collected long ago."

"It's all from the common people in the city. I haven't touched a hoe since I've grown up. It's good that I can do it like this. But the Taishi seems to be an old-fashioned person who grows crops."

"Hehe...No, I was worried at home in my early years. When I saw the old man who could not farm, I went to his field to work at night. I could do it neatly with the faint moonlight, not to mention the blue sky and sunshine."

Xu Xian teased: "Everyone praises the great master for his help in the village."

It seemed that he didn't understand Xu Xian's teasing, but Feng Dao said proudly, "No, the farmer who was helped by me came to the door to thank me the next day. Within three or five days, my reputation spread to the countryside."

This old man is really thick-skinned and feels proud when he shows off.

"Are you thinking in your heart that I am seeking fame? Don't complain to me, hurry up and go to the field. Manager Guo is waiting for you."

"Shopkeeper Guo?" Xu Xian turned his head and saw that Guo Wei was standing on the ground and talking to the awakened old farmer.

Why did he come here? Was he visiting in a private place?

Xu Xian quickly spread his feet and bowed to him, "I have met Manager Guo, why are you here?"

Guo Wei looked up at Xu Xian, "I do grain trading, so I naturally have to see how the harvest this year. You have the leisure to come and harvest millet for others."

"It's Xiu Mu who would go to the kilns to have wine and fight without taking them to do some serious business."

Guo Wei snorted inside his nose, "It's a good way. If they are dissatisfied with this, they will join forces to deal with you one day, don't ask for a hug." He pointed to the side, "You think you are helping others, but you delay more people. You didn't see a bunch of farmers watching here, but you didn't dare to come and collect their own millet."

Xu Xian looked on tiptoe and found that under the willow forest not far away, there were indeed a bunch of farmers standing and not daring to come over, so he had to say embarrassedly: "They will get used to it soon."

"Stop talking nonsense, go to work quickly. You can't afford to take care of Mr. Feng."

Seeing Xu Xian leave, Shen Changfu whispered to Guo Wei: "The shopkeeper recognizes these Qiu Bas? This leader seems to be a little afraid of you!"

"I would like to provide food to the army and recognize several generals. If I pinch the grain and refuse to sell it, they would all go hungry, so I was afraid of it."

"If you can supply grain to the army, the shopkeeper must be a big shot. If you look back, you have to talk to the old man and ask them to ask the old man for less money!"

"Didn't my father-in-law tell you just now that they won't charge you money."

Shen Changfu shook his head and looked disbelief, "It's impossible. The old man has lived for most of his life. These dogs Qiu Ba are the ones who know the most. But killing people everywhere is simply a lesson from his mother who has no father. In the past, he went straight to his house to ask for money and food, but now he has come up with such a way to extort money. I don't know how much virtue his ancestors lacked and gave birth to these vague dogs."

Chen Changfu saw Guo Wei's face turned gloomy and unhappy, and said, "Do you also feel scared? It's better to be careful when doing business with these dogs..."

He worked hard for others and had to be stabbed in the back. Fortunately, no one heard the red scarf, otherwise he would have to evade the old farmer's home.

Most of the soldiers in Hongwu Capital came from the city and had never done any farm work. It took two hundred people in half acres of half a day to sweat. They put the last bit of grain on the car and prepared to take people back to the city.

Chen Changfu was overjoyed when he heard this, but he still said politely, "You can't let the soldiers leave like this. The old man's house has prepared rice. Although there is no wine or meat, there is still a bowl of thick porridge."

Guo Wei also said: "I have done a morning of work for people in vain. If I don't even eat a bite of porridge, it's too unreasonable. Take everyone there. I'm hungry and I'll eat with you."

Seeing Xu Xian agreeing, Chen Changfu was stunned and had to sigh and lead two hundred soldiers to the house. Even if the two hundred people only drink a bowl of rice porridge, they would have to lose dozens of kilograms of food.

The farmers near Bianliang City were still quite adept in their lives. There were smoke curling in the farm, and chickens crowed and dogs barked. However, when they saw Mr. Bing enter the village, the farmers in the village quickly put out the stove and drove the chickens and dogs home to tie their mouths with ropes.

Guo Wei was not surprised, "This farm looks pretty good, it seems that he has never suffered any disaster."

"Who said that I had never suffered a disaster? Look at the house that was burned by the Khitan barbarians when they came. Fortunately, everyone hid in advance, otherwise they would not know how much trouble they would be."

Chen Changfu pointed forward, "This is the old man's house!" Then he bowed his hand and said to Xu Xian, "Your Majesty also takes care of his subordinates, don't disturb the family and children."

"Save it! Save it! You old man is even more timid than your daughter-in-law!" Xu Xian looked into the yard, "I didn't realize that you are still a wealthy man. You shouldn't help you with your work. You must find a poorer person next time."

Although the walls of this yard are earthen walls, the house is made of blue bricks, with chickens, dogs, pigs and cows inside, and it is definitely a rich peasant.

Chen Changfu waved his hands repeatedly, "The old man's family really has no money. It's just that his son-in-law helped him. The family of more than a dozen lives on more than twenty acres of land. He has to pay 30% of the tax every year, and he can barely make a living with a little food left."

Feng Dao smiled and said, "Thirty percent of the tax is his own land. Half acre of land is considered a wealthy family."

This restaurant is indeed wealthy. The rice prepared is not porridge but dry rice, and pickled radish. But there are not enough bowls and chopsticks, so everyone had to squat in the yard and eat it in turns.

Chen Changfu said to Xu Xian and whispered: "June, please go to the house to eat. I specially stewed a chicken for you, and there is half a bottle of old wine."

Xu Xian chewed the scallions and creaked, "There is no place for me to sit there. You just have to serve the shopkeeper, the accountant and the clerk."

After hearing Xu Xian's words, Chen Changfu hurriedly went to the house to serve him, but he came out after only one cup of tea because he really didn't dare to listen to what those people said.

In the room, Guo Wei sat on a low stool, holding a piece of chicken and gnawed slowly, "These self-cultivated households are quite wealthy, and those who farm for the government may not live so well. I want to share all the land with them, and all the farm tools and oxen."

When this is said, the three "accounting rooms" were stunned. Feng Dao immediately gave a flatterer, "Your Majesty's kindness is moving, and this move is a blessing for all people!"

Feng Dao was not in charge of the family and did not know that the firewood and rice were expensive. Li Gu, the envoy of the Three Division, looked solemn and advised: "Your Majesty thought twice. The court had only established two years ago and had already fought two wars and was very expensive. In the future, the war broke out again, how could the soldiers be summoned without money?"

"I really don't have to persuade you anymore. I have been thinking about this for more than a month. I have made up my mind. Just follow my words." Guo Wei took the chopsticks and tweaked it in the basin. Seeing that there was no good meat left, he picked up a chicken head and chewed it all over the juice.

The most gentleman among the few people was Zuo Pushe Fanzhi. He didn't want to hurt his beautiful long nails, and stroked his beard and said, "Since your Majesty has made up your mind, I should do it as I want. I would like to suggest that Your Majesty allocate the fertile land and sell it to those rich families."

Li Gu also echoed: "Wensu has a good idea, so that the treasury can make a big profit."
