One night passed, and the cultivation level had successfully broken through from the first level of Qi training to the second level of Qi training.

Not only did his spiritual power double, his body also became slender and stronger due to the nourishment of spiritual energy.

Even his appearance has slightly improved, becoming more handsome, and he is even more looking forward to the 19 unripe peaches.

Not to mention one month, three months, or even a year. He could afford to wait.

Space has the function of accelerating maturation, which means that the longer it takes, the better the quality will be.

"Master Boqian, are you up?"

Uncle Fu had actually been waiting outside for a long time, but now he did not dare to treat Shi Zhongkui with the eyes and attitude of an elder like before.

Moreover, the more Shi Zhongkui was favored by Hong Gao, the more he wanted his youngest son Yu Shun to join Shi Zhongkui's sect.

Not to mention that after getting in touch with him these days, Yu Fu compared Shi Zhongkui with the young Yu Honggao, and immediately felt that Shi Zhongkui had a brighter future.

So I waited outside the door of the room early in the morning without saying anything. I waited until there was a noise in the room, and then I stood outside the door and asked.

"Wait a moment."

After a while, Shi Zhongkui walked out in a blue scholar's robe, which immediately made Uncle Fu and the other three farmers from the Tuiguo Gong family's eyes brighten.

Suddenly I felt something in my heart, this is the feeling of a scholar.

The two little girls blushed and didn't dare to look at Shi Zhongkui as they followed Shun'er, carrying copper basins, towels and other things for washing.

Shi Zhongkui, who was still accustomed to handling his own affairs, thought about it and did not refuse the little maid to wash him.

The reason is very simple. Once he refuses, Yu Fu will 100% change to two, and then these two will be unlucky.

After lighting a stick of incense, I came to the main hall and sat down at the main seat.

After taking a sip of tea with just the right temperature, he asked Uncle Fu and the three village heads to sit down, and then told them what needed to be done this morning.

A quarter of an hour later, when Shun'er and the maid were serving breakfast, someone had already set up a wood stove outside and started steaming steamed buns.

Out of curiosity, many villagers and children stood in groups of twos and threes more than ten meters away from the second brick building to watch.

In Shi Zhongkui's eyes, ancient labor was really too cheap, but while the farmers were obedient, they also seemed a little numb.

But he doesn't have much leisure to lead the farmers to make a fortune. It's unrealistic and at the same time, he is not the owner of the farm, so he might end up harming others and himself.

It can be said that those at the bottom have thought better of it, relying on good weather and the kindness of the farm owners.

Only then will the bankers be less exploited, and they won't have to worry about someone being concerned about their money one day.

However, when it comes to raising fish in rice fields, he doesn't intend to fight. He has even thought about finding an opportunity or killing a few chickens to scare the monkeys.

Moreover, with the support and approval of Yu Honggao and the Government of Tuiguo, he had enough reasons and reliance to establish his authority.

The price offered for two meals a day and three steamed buns per meal easily recruited a hundred adult laborers, and at the same time, it also made the three farm heads of the Jianguo Gong family look a little bad.

Usually, one pound of thick noodles and some wild vegetables can make 15 steamed buns. Even if it is larger, there are still 10 buns.

But when Shi Zhongkui asked people to make steamed buns, even though he added a lot of wild vegetables, he could only make 6 buns per pound.

It means that one hundred people consume one hundred kilograms of coarse flour in one day, and one thousand kilograms in 10 days is equivalent to 7 or 8 taels of silver, which is 24 taels in one month.

No wonder the three dealers looked bad, the price was at least twice as expensive as usual, or even twice as much.

But Shi Zhongkui knew that he could not coerce, so he could only use inducements, otherwise the villagers would definitely be working hard.

He glanced at the three village leaders and said to Shun'er with a smile, "Go to Mr. Lian of Rongguo Mansion and tell him that I will lend him three thousand kilograms of grain and I will pay him back in a month."

When the three heads of the village heard this, the oldest one hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Mr. Shi, please forgive me. The younger ones are reluctant to part with you, let alone disobeying your orders.

But I am worried that the price is too high, and if I want to hire farmers to work in the future, the cost will be double or triple than in previous years, and I will be punished by the chief steward of the Duke's government."

Shi Zhongkui sneered. Even though what this old guy said seemed reasonable, he couldn't be fooled by his words.

If he himself lowers the price and hires bankers in the future, the bankers will indeed be dissatisfied.

But he was an outsider, and the banker was the local snake. He said that if he hired people at the previous price, the banker would just sigh and think that it would be better if the owner was Shi Zhongkui.

Then there will be no complaints at all, and I will go to work without daring to complain.

"How brave," Shi Zhongkui shouted coldly, "Are you trying to bully me when I'm young? I don't know how stupid you are to exploit the bankers?"

"this,,."

The three village heads were immediately frightened and broke into cold sweats.

Seeing Uncle Fu, Shun'er, and the Yu family's servants slowly approaching Shi Zhongkui, they immediately understood that Shi Zhongkui's status in the Yu family was higher than he and others had imagined.

He hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Mr. Shi, please forgive me for waiting just once. I will never dare to disobey you in the future."

The three of them were not afraid of Shi Zhongkui, but they were afraid of Yu Honggao who was behind him, and the eldest lady who married into the Yu family from the Duke of Tui Kingdom.

If Yu Shi filed a complaint with his mother and father, or even just complained to his brother Shi Guangzhu, the only heir to the Duke of Tui Kingdom.

This eldest young master will definitely bring someone with him and beat him up when he comes.

The reason is also very simple. Shi Guangzhu is a well-known playboy. Not to mention the monthly payment of only 10 taels of silver, even if you give him 100 taels or 1,000 taels, he will spend it all for you in different ways.

If the money is not enough, of course he will find his own sister to fight Qiu Feng, and he even targets Yu Tongfu, his close nephew.

Because Yu Honggao was seeking help from his father-in-law, he didn't pay much attention to the fact that his wife often gave thirty or fifty taels of silver to his brother-in-law.

On the contrary, if the brother-in-law is dissatisfied and goes to the father-in-law and mother-in-law to gossip, the loss will definitely be greater than the three to five hundred taels of silver a year.

Moreover, when you become rich, it is inevitable that poor relatives will come to visit you.

Grandma Liu came to see Mrs. Wang for the first time. Although Wang Xifeng changed her theory and said that Rongguo Mansion was only decent on the outside but was actually not that good on the inside, she still gave Grandma Liu twenty taels of silver.

Since there is Grandma Liu, there will definitely be other relatives coming to visit, and the number will definitely not be small.

Giving to others is a gift, but kissing your brother-in-law is not okay?

Even if you don't want to, in ancient times, money was inevitable for reputation.

Uncle Fu was about to give Shi Zhongkui a hint and ask him to handle it with care. After all, this was the farm of Duke Tui Guo.

Then Shi Zhongkui smiled and said, "Three ignorant fools, when I succeed, you and these one hundred farmers will have the capital to live and work as long as they master the skills of raising fish in rice fields.

Not talking about getting rid of the slave status, it’s just that the powerful families want to follow suit. In the future, when those farms invite you to go, they are afraid that there will be no money to be made, do you understand?"
