Chapter 1641 Gifts

Man Bao and the other three were extremely surprised and gathered around them, "Why are you here in Yongzhou too?"

He added: "We were in a hurry when we left, and we forgot to tell you. We were still anxious before."

Yin You and Liu Huan didn't believe it. It was just a sentence. They couldn't inform them in person. What's wrong with asking their servants to send a message and send a letter?

It can be seen that I still don't take them to heart.

The two of them were angry for a while, and the three of them all bowed and apologized. It took a while to coax the two of them, so the two of them didn't go to the apartment they had just decided to go to, and went directly to the yard where they rented.

They washed and rested in Bai Shan and Bai Erlang's room.

The things used by Bai Shan and Bai Erlang were all brought from home, and they were naturally very good. Yin You and Liu Huan didn't mind it either. They washed up and changed their clothes and went to say hello to Madam Liu and others, telling them that they were here.

Then go back to the house.

Bai Shan and the others originally wanted to go shopping, but they didn't want to go out now. They asked the waiter to bring them food, and they sat together in Bai Shan's room, eating and talking.

Yin You ate some. He had a small appetite and was full quickly. Then he leaned on the couch with his hands and fell asleep.

Manbao wrote a prescription for medicine, dried it and handed it to Changshou, asking him to grab the medicine and give it to his young master.

Yin may be just a little tired and has no other problems, but he forgot to bring medicine, and now it's time for him to take medicine.

Changshou took the medicine and went out, but there was no need for him to go. As soon as he went out, the servants of the Bai family stepped forward to take the order and went out.

Changshou turned around and stood up again.

Yin You moved and waved to Changshou and Qingyu to go down to eat. Then he looked at the four people with great appetites, yawned and asked, "How can you eat so well?"

Man Bao looked at his empty bowl, ate the last bite of steamed buns, and then said: "We need to eat less, we have to go shopping in the evening."

Liu Huan didn't take a nap either, and he felt a little sleepy at this time. He yawned and asked, "It has to be after Xu hour, right? There's no light when you go out now."

Bai Shan responded and said: "So you go to sleep, we will wait for you to wake up and then go out together."

After the two of them heard what he said, they immediately went to rest peacefully, not caring about what they had just eaten and how hard they slept.

But who cares, they didn't go to their upper room, but directly occupied Bai Shan and Bai Erlang's bed. Liu Huan kicked off his shoes and fell asleep.

Yin may be a little better. Under the service of Changshou, he has loosened his clothes and sleeps in his inner clothes, which is quite comfortable.

They slept until the sun set. When they woke up, the room was already a little dark. There was still light outside, but it would be completely dark within two-quarters of an hour.

The two of them got up quickly, washed and dressed.

Bai Shan and the others were sitting in the yard chatting. There were pens and ink on the table, on which they wrote a lot of words and drew a lot of pictures, all about career planning.

Hearing the sound of them waking up, Bai Shan finished calculating the data in his hand and put it away after writing it down.

Yin You came out while putting on his coat, and caught a glimpse of their manuscripts. There happened to be a painting on the top, which was square and square. He couldn't tell what it was, so he asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

Bai Shan smiled and said: "Nothing, it's a picture of Man Bao Zhitian."

Only then did Yin You remember and ask, "So you are here this time to see Man Bao's career?"

The three of them nodded together.

Yin You took out the picture and looked at it, and found that the river was marked on it, and a circle was drawn on one side of the river, which seemed to be a pond or something.

He wondered, "Can we dig ponds in Zhitian?"

"No," Man Bao said, "This does not belong to the scope of my job, but is on the edge. It is a piece of wasteland, mostly sandy soil. It is not difficult for me to rent or buy it."

"Then what if your career is no longer here in the future?"

Manbao then smiled and said, "Then you can sell the pond to others, or rent it to others."

Yin You then laughed, "What if no one buys or rents it?"

"What's the big deal? Bai Shan's family has Zhuangzi nearby, and it will be the same if it is handed over to his family's banker."

It was also based on this consideration that they dared to plan to spend so much money to dig ponds.

Yin You couldn't help but flip through their draft. It not only included how many chickens and ducks they planned to raise, but also how many fruit trees they planned to plant. He asked blankly: "How do you calculate this?"

?”

"Using arithmetic," Bai Erlang was able to answer this for him, "it's better to go to the north, where the terrain is flat and the land is basically divided into acres and acres. Manbao's thousand acres of fields are the same as Mr. Zhuang's.

One hundred acres are almost all connected together. Even if there is a gap in the middle, it is only separated by a few acres of fields. If it is not connected here, it is connected there, so it is easy to calculate."

"These are cultivated lands, and it would be a pity to use them for planting fruit trees. So the fruit trees and mulberry trees are planted on the ridges. We have calculated the distances. Except for the ridges that must be allocated to the tenant farmers, we can use them to plant the rest.

Fruit trees.”

Yin You was curious, "Why do we have to allocate land ridges to tenant farmers?"

Bai Erlang choked for a moment and then asked, "If we give them all the land, what kind of land will they use to grow mulberry and hemp? They have to pay the cotton to the court."

How could Yin know this and asked, "Don't they have land to grow mulberry and hemp?"

Bai Shandao: "Most of that land is the imperial court's farmland. If you want to grow mulberry and hemp, you can only plant it on the wasteland, but it is overgrown with weeds, shrubs and waste rocks, and it takes a lot of money."

With all the manpower and material resources, it would be better to plant on the ridges.”

Manbao nodded.

Yin You was silent for a while and then asked, "Will you get any harvest from planting fruit trees in the fields? I heard people say that children in the countryside steal the fruits."

Man Bao laughed and said, "I'm not making money from these fruits. I'll pick them for them when the time comes. If the fruits are grown well, we will give them the fruits with chickens and ducks during the holidays. We will save money and they will be happy to eat."

no?"

Liu Huan, who had finished dressing and came out, laughed and said, "I have only heard that Zhuangzi gave gifts to the master, but never heard of the master giving gifts to the tenant farmers. Are you contrary?"

Man Bao scratched his head and asked, "Is it reversed? But when we were at home, we gave things to the long-term workers every year, and Grandma Liu and the others never said anything."

Bai Shan: "That's right. It's written in the book. You should give thoughtful gifts to your subordinates during the Chinese New Year and holidays, so that your subordinates can have a greater sense of belonging. A whole book is written about how to conquer your subordinates."

Yin was curious, "What book is this?"

Bai Shan was about to say the title of the book when he thought of something and smiled: "It's a miscellaneous book that I read when I was very young. I don't know where it went now."
