The Reborn Wife is Farming

Fang Zhifu gave Qi Haoran a sad look. Although he was careful enough, there were still many children and orphans in the list. He couldn’t ignore them. I can't control it either.

In the past few days, those 6,000 people have already made him poor, and he was almost ruined.

Fang Zhifu glared at Qi Haoran again, if the two brothers of the Qi family hadn't emptied the government office when they rushed in, why would he be here?

The most important thing is that his aid reports to the imperial court have been returned all the time. Without foreign aid, just relying on the little tax this year is really not enough.

So Fang Zhifu could only focus on Mu Yangling.

Hearing Fang Zhifu's proposal to provide children under the age of twelve with a set of winter clothes and let orphans under the age of twelve enter the nursery, Mu Yangling couldn't help but frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Master Fang , you are a parent official, don’t you have a way to accommodate them? It’s not that I’m evading, even if you don’t have a clear picture of my family background, you should be able to make a rough guess. Do you think I can accommodate these 6,000 people? ?”

Fang Zhifu coughed lightly, his ears turned red, and said: "That's why I said I want to discuss with Miss Mu. You can ask for anything you want, and I will definitely satisfy what I can meet."

Mu Yangling narrowed his eyes, but Bowen said first: "Since that's the case, Mr. Fang, why don't you give us those lands, let alone raising them this winter, it's okay to raise them again next winter."

Not only Fang Zhifu, but also Mu Yangling almost fell off the chair. She glared at her brother, but she did not object out of the principle of not embarrassing him outside.

Seeing that Mu Yangling was silent, Fang Zhifu said helplessly: "Mr. Mu was joking, how could I just give away these dozens of hectares of land? The ten-year use period I won for you before is already large. It took a lot of work."

"Master Fang refused so quickly, so it's obvious that he is not sincere," Mu Bowen said, "Of course I know that this matter is difficult, but six thousand people are not easy to support, and you also have many orphans under the age of twelve. , these people are sent to the nursery, food, clothing, and reading are all a lot of expenses..."

Mu Bowen saw Fang Zhifu's brows getting tighter and tighter, so he said: "How about this, extend ten years to twenty years, what do you think? This will be the same as the previous time limit of 500 mu."

Fang Zhifu was silent for a long time, and said: "Let me think about it carefully, how about this, I will give you an answer in three days, how about it?"

Mu Bowen looked at his sister, Mu Yangling nodded slightly, and the two sides reached a consensus, and then they were in the mood to eat.

Several people swept away a table of food, Fang Zhifu marveled at their stomachs, and then got up to leave.

Xiuhong went to ask for a pot of tea and came in, and everyone gathered around the table for a meeting.

Mu Yangling asked Qi Haoran, "Isn't the magistrate Fang so out of touch? He took him to a place where he didn't settle down?"

"He asked them to build roads, but most of them were old and weak, especially those half-grown children. They were not strong, but they ate a lot. The government office didn't have much food. He asked someone to borrow food, but it seemed that they were How did it go smoothly." Qi Haoran explained.

Mu Yangling frowned, and said, "When you entered the city, you didn't rob them of everything, did you? Did you leave anything for them?"

Qi Haoran stared, and said confidently: "Our people rushed in with all their might, so naturally there must be some rewards, otherwise, who would charge forward?"

The common people can't rob, there are only so many dignitaries left behind in the Hanzhong Mansion in the Kingdom of Jin, what else can they rob besides the mansion? Anyway, at that time, the government office was also the government office of the Kingdom of Jin.

Thinking of this, Qi Haoran became angry, and snorted coldly: "After taking back the Hanzhong Mansion, according to the regulations, the imperial court will provide support, but it has been almost two years since the imperial court sent us anything. Confidence, not even superficial perfunctory."

Mu Yangling swallowed, and said, "Don't tell me that the imperial court is half-giving up on Hanzhong Mansion."

An angry look appeared on Qi Haoran's face, but he did not refute.

Mu Yangling slapped the table with a "slap", and asked, "Why? Haven't we been guarding for two years? Now that the Jin soldiers are blocked by us outside the city, and they can't enter the Hanzhong Mansion, why does the court still do this?" Do?"

"Hanzhong Mansion is not like Xingzhou Mansion. Xingzhou Mansion has Xingcheng Pass. As long as you guard the pass, you can stop a large number of Jin soldiers from going south. However, the terrain outside Hanzhong Mansion is wide, and the border line with Jingzhao Mansion is too long, and it is almost flat. There are a few sporadic mountain ranges lying there, and it is very easy to be besieged." Qi Haoran said: "That is to say, they failed three times in a row before, otherwise Hanzhong Mansion will be attacked now, Ah Ling, if it is only the defenders of Jingzhao Mansion and I Big brother is not afraid, but if one day the Jin soldiers want to attack aggressively, we will not be able to defend Hanzhong Mansion, so we can only abandon it and retreat to Xingzhou Mansion. Didn't you move the Western Battalion here? Instead, you just sent some troops from each battalion here?"

Qi Haoran sighed and said: "We have set up such defenses to prepare for that eventuality, but I am not convinced that the imperial court has tacitly lost the Hanzhong Mansion."

"Since the Hanzhong Mansion is not easy to guard, then we should go and snatch the Jingzhao Mansion too. Isn't there a pass in the Jingzhao Mansion?" Bowen interjected.

Qi Haoran was happy, "Good boy, you have ambition, that's what I told my elder brother, but my elder brother said that there are too many defenders in Jingzhao Mansion, we have just experienced a big war, we should not start a war in the short term, wait With a fighting opportunity..." Qi Haoran looked at several people with piercing eyes, his meaning was self-evident.

Mu Bowen was eager to try, "Qi Fourth Brother, you can take me with you when the time comes."

Mu Yangling slapped him down, "If the wind blows, he will fall down, why are you coaxing?"

Mu Bowen said unconvinced: "My body has recovered. Mr. Da Da said that I am about the same height as my peers."

"Then let's wait until you are taller than your peers and learn basic life-saving methods," Mu Yangling said with a smile: "Or I will send you to my father and tell him that you want to follow Qi." Haoran went to the battlefield together?"

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes, "Mu Yangling, can you stop being so fickle, call me Brother Haoran in front of elders and when you ask me for something, and call me Fourth Brother Qi in front of outsiders. People call me by first and last name, but those who don’t know think I have a grudge against you.”

"We are the only ones in this private room, who would misunderstand?" Mu Yangling said unconvinced: "Don't you even call me by my first name? Don't think I don't know, you and Fan Zijin have a mouthful of 'Mu Yangling' ’ I don’t know how fluent it is.”

Qi Haoran blushed slightly, and then refused to recognize her, "When did you hear that? I always called you Ling, and I only called you by your first name when I first met you."

Xiuhong hurriedly adjusted and said: "Okay, okay, fourth brother Qi, my cousin is used to it since she was a child, we grew up with my cousin, and when my cousin sees her cousin, sometimes she calls her by his first and last name. "

Xiulan and Bowen quickly nodded to testify.

"Cousin calls you by first and last name not because she is alienated from you, but because it is a habit. After all, we are not used to calling you Brother Haoran either."

Xiulan and Bowen nodded again.
