Chapter 32 All Women and Children
After two pounds of flour disappeared, Zhang Pengzu, who had eaten most of the food, touched his stomach and said, "I'm full." He also said that the president will come to Chen Yue to play in the future.
If it weren't for the fact that Chen Yue had not thought of the other party's house, delivering floors, houses and cattle, he would have really wanted to pour a pot of noodle soup on his head.
After leaving, Chen Yue looked at the sun and estimated that it was about 2:30. At present, it should be near Shen Shi.
Chen Yue, Liu and Zhang discussed it. It was estimated that it was too late to apply for various contracts when they arrived at the county town, so they had to apply for them tomorrow morning.
It is impossible for Liu and Zhang to stay overnight. Not only are there two bedrooms in the house, but families like Zhang Pengzu came out without taking servants and staying outside will definitely make the whole family anxious, so he must go home.
Chen Yue and his family couldn't find the way to the county town, so it was hard for Liu to let Liu. Zhang and the others came to pick him up tomorrow. Chen Yue had no choice but to decide to go to Zhuangzi with him first, first recognize the way, take over Zhuangzi and the tenant, and then go to the county government to complete the procedures the next day.
Because he had to spend the night outside, Chen Miao could not go with him, and he had to accompany Chen Wu at home.
On the way to Zhuangzi, Zhang Pengzu rode a horse, Chen Yue and Liu Bingyi were on a car, but the one who pulled the car was the plowing ox from the Chen family. The three of them were walking and stopping. Although sometimes Zhang Pengzu was urging them in front, because they were all full and the road was not smooth, they felt that they were about to spit out the noodles they had eaten after walking faster. Liu Bingyi showed the most obvious that he ate too much at noon.
Chen Yue looked at the wooden wheels, and then he threw out his idea of making rubber wheels with a bump. Not to mention that there is no rubber material, even if he has it, he will not be able to make it. That thing requires not only physics, but also chemical engineering, and he doesn't understand it at all.
As far as you know, you can only create some simple shock absorbers to reduce the effect of your butt and carriage head-on collision during bumps.
Of course, it is necessary to wrap the place you want to sit with soft materials. In addition, strip steel can be used to absorb shock. However, it is still difficult to make strip steel at the current level. However, it should not be a big problem to find some good wood to make strip steel styles. However, it may not be possible for ordinary families to use it. The probability of damage should be relatively high and it must be replaced frequently.
Zhang Pengzu rode his horse for a while and had to rest, because there was no saddle on the horse's back, but he just put a piece of cloth and no pedals. Every time he went up and down, he either used the carriage or the Chen and Liu. This reminded Chen Yue that when he left home, he was still stunned by who did it. Now he found the "murderer".
After more than two hours of shaking, Chen Yue had already felt his whole body falling apart, and the three of them arrived at a small village. Perhaps they couldn't even say that they were small villages. There were only four families, and the middle one was larger, and the other three were obviously about the same size as Chen Yue's family.
However, the weather is very good. Under Liu Bingyi's introduction, Chen Yue stood in the carriage and seemed to vaguely see the city wall.
Zhang Pengzu walked in front and met a twelve or thirteen-year-old child who heard the movement and walked out of the house. After the child gave a salute, Zhang Pengzu went to the other two families as exclusively, called everyone to the yard of the main house, and waited for arrangements.
The main yard is the house about five meters high in the middle. It has a rammed earth structure, but it is a roof built with green tiles. The house did not build a courtyard wall, but only surrounded by wooden branches, leaving a very wide gate without a door.
On the right side of the house is the kitchen and on the right side is the cowshed. There are two cows sleeping on the ground. The front door of the courtyard is opposite the main hall, three or four meters deep and five or six meters wide. There are two houses on both sides, and the room on the left and right side have doors and windows. Although there are doors and windows on the left and right sides, Chen Yue is probably a warehouse, because the windows are too high and are almost at the roof, and all the windows should look tightly linen.
There was an old man in the house of the owner. After seeing Zhang Pengzu coming to the yard, he shouted "Shaolangjun" and ran out quickly, helping Zhang Pengzu get off the horse.
When Chen Yue and Liu Bing had already parked the ox cart, Zhang Pengzu pointed at Chen Yue and said to the old man: "Uncle Shi, this is Chen Yue, and this farm will belong to him in the future. Tomorrow, you can go with someone in the city today. What you have done after you go back has been arranged, so you can rest assured."
"Young man just call me A Shi." said the old man Zhang Shi.
Zhang Pengzu waved his hand and continued, "After the three families arrive, you can introduce A Yue out. After completing the contract tomorrow, you can take A Yue to walk the border again."
The old man bowed his body and said, and then guided several people into the main hall to sit.
After entering the house and sitting down, Zhang Shi introduced the situation.
Judging from Zhang Shi's introduction, the two hundred acres of land are real, and there are ten scattered forest land that belongs to the Zhang family. However, at present, one hectares of forest land can only be given to Chen Yue and Liu Bingyi, and the remaining nine hectares of forest land. Only after Chen Yue takes over the management of the Zhang family's 100 acres of cultivated land can they be assigned to them.
In addition, only the grain in the warehouse was left behind, and the rest of the grain was transported back to the county town. In fact, after the grain was collected, the Zhang family only left behind the grain for growing grain and managing the affairs.
There is also the rent tax of four or six, mainly six, and the tenant is four, and the rent tax is not high. Although Zhang Tang was a cruel official, his reputation was pretty good, so after his death, both sons were still taken care of, and even Zhang He and Liu Ju were not executed. At present, the normal rent tax is 37, and the main family is 7.
After a while, eight or nine people came from the three tenants one after another.
The tenants stood in the yard, and Chen Yue and others stood on the steps. The three families had surnames Zhang and the other family surnamed Li.
Chen Yue looked at the three twelve-three-year-old boys standing in the yard, two of them looked seven or eight years old, and three women in their twenties and thirties and a little girl in their twenties and thirties, and turned to Zhang Shi in confusion: "Uncle Shi, why don't their adults come? Why did they send out a few weak women? They are still working in the field?"
"Mr. Chen family, this..." Zhang Shi was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to speak. He kept looking back at Liu Bingyi and Zhang Pengzu.
After Liu Bingye understood, he walked out and pulled Chen Yue aside and said, "This is what I arranged. The three families here were not suitable for your management before. Your family was only weak and the other three families had strong laborers. If we join forces to bully your family, we really have no choice. So, I asked Mr. Zhang to change the three families to come over as your family. Your family can farm normally. There should be no problem with the three families under your leadership. The three families stayed in their original places and were easily bullied. In the future, they would grow up with you, and it would be beneficial to know the roots and bottom."
