Chapter 74 The Barren Tenant

After Li Xiuning and Li Er left, Li Xiuning saw Li Er with a green face on the road, walked over with small steps, and said, "Don't take what happened to me from my second brother today. Li Yu is such a person, full of arrogance and seems to be a little cautious. If you tell him well today, he will give you a book generously. If you dare to talk to him with your rights, he really doesn't care about you, and he will even show you the face."

"But the third sister, Li Yu, is just a white dick. How dare he... today..."

Li Er's words were not finished, but they were interrupted by Li Xiuning's words.

"Second brother, is Li Yu a white dick? Others don't know. Don't you know? Without the salt-making and rapid steelmaking method he invented, do you think our Li Tang can get to this point smoothly now?" Li Xiuning scolded. She was very dissatisfied with Li Er's attitude of ordering Li Yu today. Finally, she kicked Li Er angrily.

"Sister I understand. He didn't take the official position we awarded him seriously. Don't worry, third sister, I won't care about things today." Seeing that third sister was dissatisfied with what she did today, Li Er hurriedly expressed his opinion.

After saying that, Li Er dared not stop and leave with his large group of guards.

Li Xiuning looked at the direction of Li Yu's family and stared at Xingwei and cursed, "You bastard, you are so angry today. What are your books? You should deceive the ghosts! Others don't know, Li Xiuning, don't you? Today, for dozens of books, you bastard, can't get out of Taiwan."

After scolding, Li Xiuning looked at the direction of Li Yu's family again, smiled and said, "The more this bastard gives me nowhere to give me face, the more fascinated him himself. Is it really strange?"

"Hmph! I will deal with you as a bastard in the future!" Li Xiuning seemed to smile.

In fact, the small conflict caused by today's misunderstandings was mainly caused by Li Xiuning's failure to understand Li Yu's past. He called himself a literary youth in his previous life, but he did not call himself randomly. It depends on how many years he persisted in order to have no hope of success, and did not change his original intention, so he understood this person's virtue.

A person like Li Yu is a stubborn person to put it nicely, but a bit crazy. He is a bit crazy. He is a person who calls himself a literary person. Although he was a wandering singer in his previous life, he regards himself as a noble singer and looks down on those powerful people from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, his self-righteous personality never considers other people's feelings.

Another most important reason is that Li Yu was a poor loser in his previous life. He was always oppressed by powerful people and often looked down on his identity as a wandering singer. Deep down in his heart, he was a little bit interested in deliberately bullying all the powerful people.

Perhaps the poor losers all have the idea of ​​Li Yu, but they are suppressed in their hearts and dare not reveal it.

In addition, Li Yu's strength has increased greatly and his ambitions are the same. If he hadn't had a good impression of Li Xiuning, he was thinking just now whether to overthrow the Li family's dynasty and develop China according to his own ideas.

If Li Er knew that Li Yu wanted to overthrow their Li Tang Dynasty for the sake of today's affairs, he would probably spew out a mouthful of old blood. Didn't he just want you to dozens of books? You wanted to overthrow our Li family dynasty?

Li Yu didn't know about Li Xiuning and Li Er's previous conversation, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care at all.

You, Li Er, are awesome in history. No matter how great your achievements in history are, does it have anything to do with yourself?

…………

Li Yu, who left the house, headed towards a small village not far ahead, and arrived at the periphery of the village in a short time.

Looking around, the whole Zhuangzi looked very Chen Mu, without a trace of vitality.

There are dozens of families in the entire village and a small farm with more than one hundred people.

I saw dozens of thatched houses in the village, and all the farmers in the village are now tenants in Li Yu's family.

The tenants in the village were not originally the tenants of the Li family. This was sent by Li Xiuning to him. Originally, the family only hired some short-term workers during the busy farming period. Later, after the family failed, they could not afford to hire short-term workers, so they had to go to the fields to farm in person, otherwise Li Fei'er would not have so many calluses on her hands.

Since it was just past year, the weather was still relatively cold and it was not the spring plowing season, the farmers had no work to do. Groups of farmers were basking warm in the sun, talking about crops in the fields.

Looking at all the tenant farmers in the village, they looked dirty and weak, they were obviously caused by malnutrition. Moreover, the winter clothes on their bodies were almost all of them, both thin and tattered.

"It's a season of biting cold wind now. Can you resist the biting cold wind when wearing such thin winter clothes?" Li Yu was surprised when he saw the thin clothes on the farmers.

I saw a group of children in ragged clothes playing around the adults. Even though the weather was still biting cold, the children were wearing cotton coats like adults, wearing toad thin coats, trembling with cold. They were wearing single shoes with toes exposed, and their toes were black and blue. The children had frostbite on their faces and hands. Some children had yellow water on their hands because of frostbite cracks. Li Yu couldn't help feeling distressed.

It is just the second year of Wude. The grassroots people at the Tang Dynasty have not yet emerged from the war and are far from as rich as the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Seeing the farmers in their farms in this state, Li Yu never expected that their tenants' lives would be so poor.

Since he has the ability, he will help them. It is easy for him, but it is difficult for these tenants to get rid of poverty. Li Yu suddenly had an idea in his mind and decided to help them now.

"Wang..."

“Woom….”

The barking of dogs woke up the chatty tenants and the children playing.

When the tenants saw Li Yu coming, they stood up and greeted each other, while the children scattered.

"Boss, why are you here today?"

I saw a middle-aged man in his fifties, weak and honest, with a loyal face on his face, standing up to say hello to Li Yu.

The person who greeted Li Yu was the leader of the merchants. The surname was Zhang. The tenants were used to calling him Uncle Zhang, and everyone believed him more, so he was also the leader of these tenants.

"I came here to discuss something with Uncle Zhang today. I want to build a greenhouse around my house. The main reason is that they have nothing to do now, so they just happened to find something for them. You can see how much wages you have to pay. When the greenhouse is built, I will pay the bill for you together." Li Yu finished the matter he was going to do in one breath.

Uncle Zhang had never heard of the greenhouse and asked with a puzzled look: "Boss! What is the greenhouse used for?"

"Grow off-season vegetables and vegetables, and there is no vegetable to eat during the cold weather, so life is not easy." Li Yu laughed. His tenants had not yet solved their food and clothing, but he still had to dislike not having vegetables to eat in winter.

"It's easy to say whether the wages are paid or not, but can it be planted? And the weather will be warm in two months. Is it still useful to plant it?" Uncle Zhang's face became even more confusing.

"Don't worry! It's definitely OK," Li Yu smiled and said, "You said the question of warm weather. I think so. When the weather gets cold this year, I'm afraid that it will take too long to build the greenhouse. Besides, aren't you going to be busy with the farm work in the fields? While you are not busy now, you can just build it this winter and then put it into use."

After Li Yu finished his explanation, he looked at the poor tenants and said, "I won't lose your wages. When you see, they want food, cloth, and copper coins. This is a sketch. Look at how many days it will take to build."

Uncle Zhang took the drawing and looked at it for a while, and Li Yu explained to him what he didn't understand.

After looking at the complete sketch, Uncle Zhang calculated and said, "It will take twenty days at the fastest."

Li Yu nodded and said, "Let's start the day after tomorrow! Is it a way to pay Fei'er to have a meal? Our family will take care of it, but you have to find a private woman who knows how to cook and let her do it."

He knew in his heart that the boss was deliberately helping them. Uncle Zhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will start to arrange personnel later."

After saying everything, Uncle Zhang asked him to arrange the manpower, and Li Yu left directly.

Li Yu left and turned around and saw the happy appearance of the tenants. He shook his head helplessly. As long as these farmers put in some effort, they would be very content and have very low requirements for treatment.

The reason why Li Yu built a greenhouse in advance is that he wanted all the tenants to have a job, so that they could solve the problem of not having enough food due to their poverty, and also solve the food problems of their entire family in the future.
