the next day.

He Xuan was late, and it was already time to have breakfast when he got up.

Breakfast, as usual, is sweet potato rice and pickles.

In ordinary farmers, don’t think about eating white rice.

Make sure that every meal is coarse grain.

Fortunately, Wang's skills are quite good, and the pickles are very pickled.

While having breakfast, Wang also discussed whether He Xuan should go to see Sister Song San: "Sister Song is indeed a good worker, and he has a big butt and is easy to raise."

He Xuan almost covered his face and thought in his heart that the original owner of the body, your real mother, is really a real mother.

Fortunately, after breakfast, Wang wanted to go to the town to continue to help Chen Dashi's women make new clothes, and finally he didn't have to be nagged by this person.

He’s father, He Ming, and He Jin and others are going to fetch water. At this time, late rice has been planted, but this year’s weather is also very strange. It’s a severe drought and it has not rained for a long time. Fortunately, there is a river passing by in Zhuqiao Village, which brings the water in the river to the water one by one, so that the late rice can survive.

In the late Ming Dynasty, a small glacier broke out and droughts occurred everywhere.

Zhuqiao Village is still in the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and the northwest is even worse and the disaster is even worse. Only then can Li Zicheng easily besieged tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people serve as soldiers.

Just when He’s father He Ming and brother He were holding a shoulder pole and a bucket, they were about to go out.

At this time, He Xuan was wondering whether he should go out today and buy dozens of acres of land for the He family to fulfill the original owner's remnant soul's wish.

But a group of about ten people walked in.

The person in the lead is about 1.6 meters tall, but he weighs at least more than 200 kilograms. He also has a pair of eyes as big as mung beans, which makes people feel uncomfortable. He also wears a square scarf on his head, which shows that he is a scholar. But with such a fat belly, there is no elegant appearance of a scholar.

This person is Zhou Papi, the head of the Zhou family, the number one landlord in Zhuqiao Village.

The Zhou family is in the entire Zhuqiao Village, but it covers the sky with one hand.

Zhou Dafu, the current leader of the Zhou family, is often forgotten, but the real name is often forgotten. Everyone secretly calls this person Zhou Papi.

Zhou Papi likes to do the most is to take advantage of the situation of drought and disasters, and rob the poor and crazily buy land for the poor. Not only that, sometimes it is too dry, and he dominated the only water source in the village, saying that it was from his Zhou family. In this way, other people with land in the village could not carry water.

At that time, these farmers with land will have a bad harvest or even a dead harvest.

Like the farmers in Zhuqiao Village, most of them are very poor and poor, so poor that they have no ability to resist risks.

If you have a one-year salary, you really can't survive.

By then, I can only sell the land.

Zhou Papi jumped out again and bought the land at a low price.

Otherwise, how could there be more than 600 acres of land in Zhuqiao Village, and 500 acres of land, fall into his own hands?

In this way, Zhou Bapi became fatter and fatter as he ate, and his stomach was full of fat.

Not only that, Zhou Papi is also very disgusting. Tenants who plant other lands must accept his strict terms. For example, if he likes a new wife from the tenant family, he will use various methods to sleep with the new wife. When the tenant wants to continue renting his family's land, he can only endure the pain and swallow his teeth into his stomach.

Zhou Papi also got some ten-year-old children and gave them pigs and sheep. On the surface, it was a chance to make money for these children. If the pig was lost or was bitten to death by a wolf, he would have to pay double the compensation. If there was no money to accompany him, he would use the land and house of the child to compensate him.

And being a long-term worker for the Zhou family is also very poorly, and the porridge you eat can directly shine a figure.

In order to let the long-term workers work more, Zhou Bapi once ran into the chicken cage in the middle of the night to learn how to croak the chickens. Other chickens would also croak. In this way, whether it was a long-term workers or a short-term workers, he would have to get up to work for him before dawn.

Zhou Papi has to peel off a layer of skin for no reason, and mosquitoes have to knock some flesh down, so the people in Zhuqiao Village don’t want to have anything to do with Zhou Papi.

Zhou Bapi came to the He family, this is not good news.

Father He Ming and Brother He Jin couldn't help but change his expression.

He’s father He Ming’s face was a habitual smile: “It turns out that it was the arrival of Yuanwai Zhou. I wonder what happened to Yuanwai Zhou?”

Zhou Bapi glanced at everyone in the He family's house, and glanced at He Xuan, without caring too much. Then, he raised his head and put his hands behind his back: "Early early in the morning, the big red-necked chicken you raised in your family ran to my vegetable field and ate a lot of my Zhou. These dishes are not ordinary dishes, but a popular dish in the capital, called Tianzhen Cuisine. Did you hear that, this is a treasure in the sky."

"This kind of Tianzhen vegetable is sold for a few taels of silver in the capital. Your chickens have destroyed my at least ten kilograms of Tianzhen vegetable. Tell me, what should I do?"

He's father He Ming couldn't help but be confused. The farthest place he went to was just a town, and he didn't know what the capital looked like. Now that he heard the rich man Zhou say that he had destroyed Tianzhen Cai, he couldn't help but feel extremely frightened: "This... what should I do? Is Tianzhen Cai really that expensive? A few taels of silver per pound, and the meat is not that expensive."

Zhou Bapi laughed in his heart. The people from the He family are really local buns. In fact, there is no such thing as Tianzhen vegetables. To put it bluntly, they all deceive the He family.

Zhou Bapi spitted thick phlegm directly on the ground of the He family: "Bah! You local bun, how can you know the mystery of Tianzhen Vegetable? Eating Tianzhen Vegetable can cure most diseases, but it is better than medicine. Do you think this kind of dish is not precious? Selling a few taels of silver per pound is also expensive. That's right, it's too expensive in the eyes of a pauper like you. But there are too many rich people in the capital, and they are all rushing to eat Tianzhen Vegetable."

He’s father He Ming couldn’t help but panic and said stutteringly: “What should I do?”

When Zhou Bapi saw He’s father He Ming’s appearance, he sneered in his heart and cursed the idiot: “What should I do? My ten kilograms of Tianzhen Vegetables are worth dozens of taels of silver. You pay for the money. I think we are considered to be in the same village. You are cheaper than you, just thirty taels of silver. It was originally worth fifty taels of silver.”

He Ming could not afford the money, and he was stunned at the moment: "I don't have money."

"It's hard to deal with without money." Zhou Bapi shook his head and pondered: "How about this, you still have three acres of paddy fields and five acres of dry land at home. The price of paddy fields is 10 taels, and the price of dry land is 4 taels. A total of 30 taels of silver is calculated. Pay me a compensation, and it's fine."
