"Second Young Master, where are we going?" Seeing Wang Yi standing on the bridge and looking around, Wang Ning, who was following him, asked in a low voice.

Wang Yi turned around and did not answer Wang Ning's inquiry, but asked back: "Wang Ning, do you know which fields are from our farm?"

"Second Young Master, these are all," Wang Ning pointed to the harvested fields by the river, and some fields that seemed to be working in the distance and said, "Second Young Master, these fields we can see are all from our village, and some are not visible. In the fields quite far from where we are standing now, they are also from our village. There seem to be more than 10,000 acres in total, and there are many forests and ponds... The specific situation is small and I don't know it, so I have to ask Zuo Bo to know!"

"Oh!? Is there a lot of fields..." Wang Yi murmured in a low voice.

"Second Young Master, there are more than 300 people in our village, most of whom are male, so there are more land grants." Wang Ning was happy to answer the questions about his young master's inquiries and told Wang Yi about everything he knew.

"I understand!" Wang Yi nodded. He knew the land policy in the early Tang Dynasty. Ding and middle-aged men over 18 years old gave 20 mu of Yongye land each, and 80 mu of land were divided. The elderly and disabled people reduced the 50 mu of land, and women also had certain acres of land. He didn't know whether these fields were Yongye land or something, but there were more than 300 people in the village, so the land that could be distributed according to the law should not be less.

According to historical records, in the Tang Dynasty, one step wide and two hundred and forty steps long was one acre. Some people have calculated that one step in the Tang Dynasty was about 1.5 meters, and the area of ​​one acre of land was about 550 square meters. This was not very different from that in later generations. If tens of thousands of acres of land were concentrated in a nearly circular distribution, it would be quite spectacular. With so many fields, the output should be quite huge, which is a huge fortune.

Thinking that he was the "master" in charge of this farm, there were so many land under his name. Although he had not figured out why there were so many industries under his name, Wang Yi was still proud. He had just traveled through the Tang Dynasty and became a "big landlord" with a very wealthy family. It was a kind of luck that he didn't need to consider any survival issues.

Wang Yi felt a little ups and downs, and said nothing more. He continued walking forward, walked across the bridge, and then walked along a small path by the river for a while, and stopped on a slightly higher earth slope.

Standing at this position, you can see some high and low hills on both sides of the village. After a few rough glances, Wang Yi was surprised to see that there were several small villages about one or two miles away from both sides of the village, with only a few families. These small villages were just on the side of the road to the village.

Wang Yi was a little confused. These small villages were not located by the river that was more suitable for living, but were located in some relatively dangerous areas, places that looked like valley entrances and riversides, which seemed to be guarding the roads entering and leaving the village. When the people in the village went out, they had to pass through these small villages no matter which direction they were heading. If these small villages had any connection with the village? He asked Wang Ning, who was standing beside him, and said, "Wang Ning, do you know who lives in those small villages?"

Wang Ning answered without considering it, "Second Young Master, those small villages are all people from our village!"

"All of them are from our village? Why do they live there?" Wang Ning's answer surprised Wang Yiting, and he couldn't help but ask his doubts again. Judging from the situation of the houses he built, there are only a dozen families in these small villages, and the total number is only a few dozen people. They can live in the village. Why do they need to live so far?

Regarding Wang Yi's inquiry, Wang Ning just shook his head and responded, "Second Young Master, this young man is not very clear..."

Seeing that Wang Ning's expression did not look like he was hiding something when he replied, Wang Yi stopped asking and continued to walk forward, wanting to walk into the fields where people were working, but while walking, Wang Yi's eyes were still staring at the direction where Zhuangzi was, wanting to see something else.

"Second Young Master, Zuo Bo and the others are here!" Wang Ning suddenly pointed in the opposite direction and said.

Wang Yi turned around and saw a few people running towards their place in the distance. He immediately stopped. When these people approached, Wang Yi also saw clearly that the front one of the people who came was Wang Zuo, Wang Fu was behind, and two were the village houses that Wang Yi had seen when he was practicing martial arts. One seemed to be named Wang Jin and the other was Wang Nian. These two seemed to have a high status in the village, especially Wang Jin, who even Wang Zuo and Wang Fu respected him very much!

Seeing a few people running over, Wang Yi also walked from the road to the field and walked towards Wang Zuo.

Wang Zuo, who had a shocked face, quickly walked to Wang Yi, bowed respectfully and said, "Second Young Master, why did you come to the field?"

Wang Fu and several others also bowed, and Wang Yi quickly replied, "Uncle Zuo, I can't lie in the house. I heard Wang Fu just said that everyone in the village has gone to the fields to harvest crops, so I want to come out and take a look..."

Seeing that Wang Yi's expression was not unusual as he spoke, Wang Zuo's expression returned to normal, he said to Wang Yi: "Second Young Master, your body has not been healed yet, so you can't be too tired. You should go back to the house to rest. I will ask you for instructions on the matter in the fields. You don't have to worry about it now. Let's go back to the village. What do you want to know? I will report it to you one by one!"

Wang Yi shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face, "Uncle Zuo, I want to see what has been planted in the fields, and I want to see how the crop yields are... Come with me to see!" The fields standing at Wang Yi's feet should be planting rice, and some straw and leftover rice ears were scattered. As the owner of the Zhuangzi, Wang Yi, who had worked for many years in the later generations, was also interested in the agricultural production situation of this era. He really wanted to see the planting situation of farmers in Zhuangshang. He wanted to know what crops were planted in addition to rice.

Faced with Wang Yi's request, Wang Zuo politely refused: "Second Young Master, it's really inconvenient for you to go to the fields to see it. In addition, it's too late today and we'll finish work soon. After the sun sets, we can't even see the roads in the fields. Let's go there another day?"

After hearing Wang Zuo say this, Wang Yi was not able to persevere, so he had to respond: "Okay!"

"Second Young Master, let's go back to the village!" The king gave a bow.

"Okay!" Wang Yi also turned around and walked towards the direction he had just arrived. He pretended to be careless and pointed at the small villages in the distance and asked Wang Zuo, "Uncle Zuo, are those small villages also residents in our village?"

"Yes, the second young master!" Wang Zuo hesitated for a moment, nodded, and his eyes became more surprised and suspicious.

"Why let them live that far away?"

"There are too few houses on the farm that I can't live in. Moreover, there are many fields in the farm. I am afraid that crops will be stolen or ruined by some poultry, livestock and wild animals, so I sent some people to live farther away and manage the crops in the fields..." Wang Zuo's answer was quite natural and reasonable.

"Oh!? So that's it..." Wang Yi seemed to believe it but not believe it after hearing it.

"Second Young Master, let's go back to the village and talk!" Wang Zuo asked again.
