Logically speaking, conscripts are not allowed in Huangzhuang. The conscripts can only serve the country's public undertakings, such as building roads, building bridges, digging ditches, building river embankments, or transporting grain and grass to the army.

But if everything in this world could be "reasonably" understood, then the world would not be in chaos, countries would not change, and those in power would not change one after another.

Whether it is Bai Shan, Bai Erlang or Zhou Man, most of their understanding of the world comes from books.

The book did not say that the servants had to plow the spring and harvest the autumn in the imperial village, so they were all surprised.

Especially when they go to Huangzhuang to work, they have to bring their own dry food. This is a bit excessive. They serve the county government and the state government and still have three meals a day, even if it is thin.

Mingda was also a little curious, "There is so much land in Huangzhuang, why is there no one cultivating it?"

The steward said: "Your Majesty is kind and kind, but he cannot do anything like Emperor Ai did and directly enslave the people."

Mingda:...Is it something worth being happy to compare with Emperor Ai?

Bai Erlang felt that his answer was not to the point, so he simply asked: "There are not enough slaves, why don't you lease them to humans?"

"There are few tenants," the steward sighed: "Huangzhuang recruits tenants every year, but there are few people coming to rent, so there is nothing we can do about it."

Mingda couldn't help but look at Bai Erlang.

Bai Erlang looked at the steward steadily for a while and then nodded, "Okay, I understand, please step aside first."

The steward didn't expect it to be dismissed so easily. He was stunned for a moment and then asked: "Prince-in-law, the road construction matter...should we also hand it over to the county government?"

As long as the princess says something, can Magistrate Xun still refuse?

However, Bai Erlang felt that people should keep their word, and they agreed to take a section of the road together. Now they ran to hand over this section of the road to Magistrate Xun. What would Magistrate Xun think of their princess mansion later?

Bai Erlang waved his hand and said: "Go down first, the princess and I will discuss this matter later."

The steward couldn't help but look at the princess.

Princess Mingda waved her hand and said: "Go down."

The steward then stepped back with his head hanging down.

After Man Bao and Bai Shan looked at their servants, a gong was heard from behind. When the foreman in the middle heard it, he also took out a gong and beat it, and shouted loudly: "It's time to finish the work -"

The sound continued, and when the one hundred people on the last section of the road heard it, they immediately poured out the soil in the frame, put their tools on their backs, and ran this way.

The foreman didn't have time to talk to Zhou Manbaishan. He picked up his hoe and said, "Township master, we're going to eat..."

Before they could finish their words, they had already run away, bringing up a cloud of dust that almost fell into Man Bao's and the others' mouths.

Man Bao and Bai Shan:......

After the rush and confusion on the first day, Wu Lang was already very experienced. With three groups of people, the stoves were set up in three locations. However, the distance between the three locations was not very far now, and he wanted to manage them in a unified manner.

Only six women were hired to do the work. The vegetables had to be washed together and the meat cut together to make it faster, so the three stoves were all in one place.

However, he was very sharp-eyed and immediately pointed to one person and said: "You are the group over there, don't queue up randomly, I will catch you and deduct a pancake next time."

The other party immediately moved back honestly.

Friday Lang was so angry that there were always people who wanted to take advantage of him when he wasn't paying attention.

There were six women occupying one stove. Those who came forward in line received pancakes and a dish from the first woman, and a bowl of soup and a dish from the second woman.

Man Bao and Bai Shan ran back with disgraced faces on their horses. They were relieved to see that they were still in order.

Seeing that they were all lining up honestly, Friday Lang walked up to Man Bao and persuaded him: "You go home, I'm watching from here."

"Fifth brother, when will you go back?"

Wu Lang said: "We will go back after they have eaten. Don't worry, I have experience and will definitely be able to go back in front of the city gate."

Man Bao nodded and returned to the city with Bai Shan.

Wu Lang also went to get the pancakes, got a bowl of vegetables and a bowl of soup, and squatted on the ground to eat with them.

Three foremen surrounded him. In fact, they still can't understand it. "Fifth Master, your family is so rich, why do you still need to do such hard work yourself?"

Wu Lang took a bite of the pancake, glanced at him and said, "Who said my family is rich?"

The foreman smiled and said: "Look what you said, our five hundred households are all the village owners' food and property. Isn't this rich?"

Wu Lang said depressedly: "Then you won't pay taxes until after this autumn harvest. At this moment, we haven't eaten a grain of rice from you."

He gestured to the pancake in his hand and said, "Now it's you who eat from us."

Foremen: ...rich people still mind this?

Wu Lang continued: "Besides, my family is far from rich. Who doesn't come from the poor side?"

The three foremen looked unbelieving.

Wu Lang took a sip of soup and said, "Don't believe it? I have also served in the military. Which of the six brothers in my family has not served in the labor force? I am not boasting, but even if I am the best official in the world, the food for the servants is not as good as mine.

Give enough and make peace.”

Everyone recognizes this. The servants present and those with brothers at home have waited several years for their turn to come, but these foremen are already experienced at it. Not only will it be easier for them to serve, but they will also get some points.

Copper coins are regarded as management fees, so they come every year for service. No one knows more about food and drink than them. They all gave Wu Lang a thumbs up and said: "Just based on the food these few days, we know that the village owner

We are the same as Mr. Wu. If the owner of the village has any use for us in the future, just ask."

Wu Lang then smiled and said: "Why are you so polite? Your ancestors have been farming here. No one knows this land better than you. We don't have to interfere too much. But my family has built a workshop here. In the future, the villagers will take more care of it."

That’s it.”

"Don't worry about this. The village owner's workshop is built here. If a child dares to cause trouble, the villagers will be the first to refuse."

"Master Wu Wu, I heard that the village master is also a miracle doctor. It was the village master who cured the flower that day. It is also because of this that we became the village master's food town, right?"

Zhou Lang was very proud when he mentioned this day. He could not finish telling his sister's story for three days and three nights, so he took a bowl and told them stories.

There is a road that is not very far from this section of road. It is a road that extends from the county seat to the intersection of Huangzhuang and Gucheng. It branches like branches. The shorter branch is the section of the road that Xun County Magistrate is responsible for.

Their servants were also eating, and they smelled the vague fragrance wafting in the air. One of them couldn't help squatting down and tightening his belt. While eating porridge, he said: "Do you smell it? It's the smell of wheat."

, they must be eating cakes or steamed buns again."

"Maybe there's still meat."

"Okay, don't think about it anymore. It's a lean period right now. The porridge provided by the county government is so thick that it's pretty good."

"That's right, the past two years have been pretty good. When we were hit by disasters in the previous two years, even if it was just the autumn harvest, the porridge could not stand up with chopsticks during the service. You only get two meals, so you can be satisfied."

A young boy snoring nearby finished a bowl of porridge, touched his belly, took out a piece of dry steamed bun and gnawed on it. It was brought from home.

The foreman on the side saw it, slapped him in the face and said: "What buns to eat at night, save them for tomorrow morning and lunch. That's when you work hard."

"I, I'm hungry..."

"Brother Lu, don't be angry, don't be angry. This kid is here for the first time. He doesn't know the depth. Boy, the foreman is doing this for your own good. You have to eat these solid things in the morning and noon. You are almost going to sleep now. You eat it."

What are you doing?"

"I'm so hungry that I can't sleep."

"Two more sips of water will make you full. You kid, don't disobey me. If you encounter heavy work during the day and you are hungry and can't find the strength, just stuff yourself quickly. Otherwise, if you fall down, you won't be able to get up."

A person on the side said: "It's useless even if you get up."
