Lewen’s novels make a living, please forgive me.
In the low house near the farmhouse, the Jie people are sitting together, gobbling down the hot porridge in the bowl.
This is the hot meal they haven’t had for a long time.
After changing into new clothes, he still slept peacefully until dawn in a room with a roof above his head. It is definitely a rare good day for the Jie people who have been fleeing the desert for a long time.
Not to mention, there is also the idea of “department” hanging in the front.
After carefully drinking the porridge and water in the bowl, a Jieren man licked his lips, coughing dryly, and asked the young man beside him who was slowly drinking porridge: “Yi Yan, you said that the noble will really accept us. Do you want to do a part?”
These words immediately attracted a lot of curious eyes, and this was also the thing that most people in the room were worried about the most.
If it’s farming, it’s not the same for anyone else, it’s just a meal.
But when the part?
This is not something ordinary people can do.
The Jie people had a low status. They were originally servants of the Xiongnu, but later moved to Bingzhou, still the same as before.
Even if the nobles want to choose a part, they often choose those Xiongnu and Xianbei people, and rarely hit the idea of Jie and Qiang people.
Can the words of the ill head of the house be taken seriously?
Yi Yan drank the porridge in the bowl unhurriedly, and asked back, “Do you want to make a part?”
This sentence made the man stunned for a moment.
Like other Capricorns, he is best at farming.
After moving inwards, how many Jieren made a living by farming, in addition to doing business, raising horses, and carving Buddha statues.
Marching to fight a war is something that one can’t even think about.
Is he willing to put down his hoe and become a private soldier with guns and knives?
However, after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said loudly: “It’s nothing to do with the trilogy! It’s not easy to fight those mountain bandits before. As long as you follow the command of the master, you can always survive!”
This is also the impression left by the previous encounter.
In the face of a large group of ferocious robbers, the seemingly delicate family owner not only did not abandon them and flee, but commanded them neatly and defeated the mountain bandits.
If that noble person is not afraid of bandits, what are they afraid of?
Yiyan nodded: “Yes, the most important thing in being a family’s private army is the quality of the family owner. If you encounter a cowardly and fearful person, you probably don’t know how to die. But the lord is not such a person, He also saved us from the officers and soldiers, and for that alone, you should follow him.”
His words were sonorous and powerful, and the audience couldn’t stop nodding.
They all leave their hometowns and go out begging for food. In fact, as long as they can survive, how can they care so much?
And most people know that Yi Yan is very popular with the family owner, and he also gave him a short knife.
In the previous fight, his brave attitude also deeply penetrated into the hearts of everyone.
In this world, there are not many people who dare to come forward, and even fewer are born to fight.
Those who can stand out in those situations tend to be the leaders.
Although Yiyan is young, he has courage and ideas. Since he has already agreed, it seems that this song is not unacceptable.
With the backbone, the hearts that everyone has been hanging on are gradually letting go.
Another Jie person looked at the sky outside and said anxiously: “Didn’t the master say that he saw us today? Did he forget?
”
What if the owner of the house forgot about them, or if they were just talking about the episodes?
I just made up my mind, but I became worried about gains and losses again, and the taste was not good.
This time, Yi Yan didn’t say anything, and drank the porridge in the bowl.
Whether it can become a part or not, Yiyan is not worried.
He could see that the man really wanted a private soldier who could protect him.
But whether he can become a “personal bodyguard”, he is not sure.
I just hope that the lord who I just recognized has not forgotten his retainer.
After another half an hour, the hut door was pushed open with a squeak, and A Liang walked in quickly: “The lord is calling you, keep up!”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly stood up and walked to the main house behind Ah Liang.
It was already night when they came back last night, and they didn’t have time to look at the manor of Liang Mansion. Now they found out that this manor was bigger than expected.
It took half an hour to go from the humble house where the servants lived to the entrance of the main house.
Entering the courtyard, there are countless corridors, with high eaves, deep pavilions, and carefully trimmed vegetation, which makes the courtyard more elegant and graceful.
Going all the way down, the Jie people gradually restrained their movements, and they didn’t dare to take a breath.
They often work as tenant farmers to cultivate the land, but they are hired by small families. Even if there are wealthy families, they will not let these mud-legged people come to the courtyard where the owner lives. I have never seen a building of this scale.
After walking along the quiet corridor for a long time, a spacious courtyard appeared in front of him.
Ah Liang slowed down and said in a low voice, “This is the right place, pay attention to your words and deeds, and don’t offend the master.”
Even if he didn’t say this deliberately, nowadays people don’t dare to speak freely.
One by one, their mouths were tightly closed, for fear of making a noise that would be disgusting.
Yi Yan walked in front of the queue and followed closely behind A Liang, his face remained unchanged, but his fists were quietly clenched, and his eyes widened to look at everything in front of him.
Bypassing the short screen wall, there is a spacious hall in front of it, which should be used to welcome guests.
At this moment, there are two seats, one is shorter.
The patriarch of the Liang family, with a pale face and a slender figure, was reclining beside the short ones, dressed in a plain long gown, with a light brocade wrapped around his head, and he looked like he lived in leisure.
In his starting position, another old man sat upright, slightly sweating on his forehead, nervously talking about something.
Seeing that A-Liang brought someone, Liang Feng raised his head and smiled slightly: “A-liang, it just so happened that the guests from Tian came over today, and the reward for killing the enemy before can be honored.”
A-liang was slightly excited and stepped forward. : “Reporting to the lord, there are three people in the servants who killed the mountain bandits, and six people worked together to make a contribution. Are they all exempted from Tian Fu?”
Whether it is an euphemistic household or a tenant farmer, they have to pay the land tax to the main household.
Generally speaking, the taxes charged by the gentry were slightly lower than that of the imperial court, and they were also exempt from corvée, so there were refugees and commoners who turned to the gentry for protection.
The Liang family is also a middle-class aristocrat, and their ancestors had food towns. Unfortunately, no one was appointed as an official in the two generations, and there were very few people who contributed. Coupled with poor management, it is definitely not easy to rely on those town households to maintain the extravagant life of the family owner. .
Therefore, the Liang family’s land tax is not low, and even a year of tax exemption can make people live a good life.
When Tian Chang heard that nearly ten people had to be exempted, he couldn’t help but face a big change: “Lord, you can’t do it!”
“How can you do it?” Liang Feng sat up slightly, “If it wasn’t for these people who fought bravely to kill the enemy. , I have long since died in the wilderness. Of course I will be rewarded! Write down everyone’s names, those who cooperate will be exempted from the farm tax for one year; those who kill the enemy, the whole family will be exempted from the tax for three years!”
There are about six or seven peasant households in Liangfu. Ten households, in one breath, exempted the small half of the tax.
Not to mention that the Liang Mansion is now unable to make ends meet, even if it is very rich, it is too extravagant.
However, what Liang Feng cares about is not these.
As if he didn’t see Tian Chang’s anxious face, he continued: “The mansion has not trained the part for many years, only some handymen who watch the house and nurse the hospital, so I am in danger. Now that the world is in chaos, it should be reorganized. Department, protect the farm. Yiyan, would you like to be my part and keep one side safe for me?”
Suddenly his name was called, Yiyan was shocked, took a step forward, and said loudly: “I would like to be the master As
if infected by Yi Yan’s emotions, all the Jie people behind him shouted at the same time: “I would like to die for the Lord!”
”
Okay.” Liang Feng laughed, “As long as you have the courage to appoint, I will naturally feed you all. Dress warmly, have a family and a farm. Gongchui, what do you think of these newly collected works?”
Looking at these hideous-looking Jie people, Tian Chang’s words immediately returned to his stomach.
He can do some small actions on the account book, or use his qualifications to win over some craftsmen and check the owner of the family.
But the premise of these actions is that the head of the family is cowardly and incompetent, at the mercy of others.
And now, this incomparably sick young man in front of him is by no means a character who will be fooled.
As long as there is a part that can serve him to death, under the sword, who would dare to disobey the order?
After laughing twice, he praised: “They are really brave people, congratulations to the Patriarch for getting such an elite…”
“Elite? I’m afraid you need to practice hard.” Liang Feng was noncommittal, and changed the conversation, “Gongchui, the account book. I have to bring it as soon as possible, so I can arrange other matters.” The
color
on the face changed a few times, Tian Chang finally replied: “I will get the account book tomorrow.”
What a waste of money.
Maybe after a while, this young master of a family with different secular affairs will understand that money and food don’t come from water.
At this time, it is better to use static braking.
Looking at Tian Chang’s extremely aggrieved face, Liang Feng smiled secretly in his heart.
After some deliberation, he finally suppressed this disobedient “old minister”.
As long as he has financial control and real military power, no matter how much sand is mixed in Liang’s house, he can control it again.
He couldn’t figure out what year it was now, but several Sima Kings were like that, and it was estimated that the countdown to the fall of the Western Jin Dynasty had also entered.
At this time, accumulating the power of the subordinates is more important than anything else.
Born in the family of the fathers of the Republic, he was nurtured by his grandfather since childhood, joined the army, and worked as a policeman.
He still has some common sense about leading troops.
I just don’t know if the training methods of later generations are useful to the soldiers of this era.
There were a lot of thoughts in his heart, but Liang Feng didn’t show it, he just nodded lightly: “That’s very good. I’m just recovering from a serious illness, and my energy is a little weak. You go down first, and see me tomorrow.”
After getting the order to see off the guests, Tian Chang didn’t dare to stay for long, so he left.
When the Tian guest left the courtyard, Liang Feng said to A Liang: “A Liang, what I said today, after you go down, you have to tell all the farmers in detail, not a single word. If there are farmers or handymen who want to join The trilogy, you can recruit as much as you can, and form a team with the Jie people.”
A Liang replied hesitantly: “But if you suddenly receive so many trilogy, can the money and food in the house be able to support it?” If
you ask this, it proves that This car steward is sincere for the sake of his owner.
Liang Feng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, whether you want to join the trilogy and whether you can stay in the trilogy are two different things. You just let go and do it.” I do
n’t quite understand the meaning of the Patriarch’s words, but an order is an order after all, Ah Liang nodded and wanted to leave with these Capricorns.
But Liang Feng suddenly said, “Yiyan, help me up.”
Liang Feng was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Yiyan was standing beside the couch, and couldn’t help asking, “Why are you here?
” Whispered: “I was vigil outside and heard a movement.”
Did he stand outside the door all night?
Liang Feng couldn’t help laughing and laughing: “The vigil is not standing guard. In the future, you can replace Lvzhu
and sleep outside. If I have anything at night, I will ask you to get up and wait.”
You need someone to help you drink water.
Tossing a little girl is really unbearable, or it is more comfortable to use a man.
“Lang Jun, aren’t the servants serving you well?!” Lvzhu also hurried over at this moment, looking like he had just woken up, and he hadn’t even tidied up his hair.
She was really exhausted these days away from home, and she accidentally overslept, which made Yiyan take advantage of it.
“If you stay up too much at night, you will lose your face. For this kind of work, let Yiyan do it.” Liang Feng smiled.
Green Bamboo’s little face immediately turned red.
In fact, she also knows that there are too few people around Lang Jun. Generally, at least four maids are needed to serve properly. She is only alone, how can she be so busy?
But the little girl is also selfish, so instead of having more smart sisters, it is better to add a servant to serve.
After hesitating for a while, she bowed her body and said, “Is Langjun going to get up? The slave will wait for Langjun to wash.”
Seeing that Lvzhu started to get busy, Liang Feng turned his head and said to Yiyan, “Did you sleep last night? Now Are you in good spirits?”
“Yes.” Yi Yan had already withdrawn his arms and stood up straight, looking in good spirits.
Liang Feng nodded slightly: “Let’s go for a run outside first, exercise your muscles and bones.”
This is naturally the five kilometers of morning exercise.
Without saying a word, Yi Yan trotted out the door.
Liang Feng took the handkerchief from Luzhu, wiped his face carefully, rinsed his mouth with green salt water, and drank a glass of warm water before getting up from the couch.
Washing his face and brushing his teeth is a good thing to say, dressing and combing his hair is really not something he can do by himself. Like a puppet, he obediently let Lvzhu put on his robe, and Liang Feng was pulled in front of the mirror again and began to comb his hair.
Because he has been seriously ill, his hair has not been washed for a few days. Fortunately, it is neatly combed every day, and it is not too difficult.
It’s just that the action of green bamboo combing his hair has become a little strange, and he will pause for a while every few times, as if he is secretly doing something.
Liang Feng just thought about it for a moment, then said, “Don’t worry about it for now.”
Lu Bamboo’s small body froze for a moment, and after a while, he said, “Lang Jun, there are not many hair loss, just use more Flax Shouwu. That’s
it.”
The author has something to say: Luming Banquet became a banquet stipulated in the imperial examination system after the Tang Dynasty
