Farmer of Shu Han

  Chapter 99 Some abnormal Li Yi

   While talking, Li Yi shook his head and kept praising him, as if he was savoring some delicious food in the world: "I heard that Brother Feng even named this one, calling it "Draw the bottom of the pot, it's really wonderful!"

  Feng Yong stared dumbfounded at Li Yi's self-aggrandizement, thinking to himself, shouldn't this kind of thing be a secret? You Zhuge old monster spread it all over the sky, if those bureaucrats in Nanzhong find out in the future, how can you calm them down? Wait for people to resist to death!

   Seeing Feng Yong looking around in horror, Li Yi seemed to understand his mind, and comforted him: "Brother Feng, don't panic, there is no one else in this empty place, so there is no need to worry about others hearing it."

  Feng Yong swallowed, his voice trembling: "Then how did Brother Li know about this?"

   "Brother Feng, don't you forget what kind of status my lord is?"

  Oh, I remembered, the commander-in-chief!

   Today's captives are basically all from the hands of Li Hui, and the Li Yi in front of him used to take the captives everywhere to sell them. Feng Yong also guessed that the idea behind this must be the idea of ​​Zhuge.

"Little brother heard that Zhao Erlang mentioned this plan by chance, and my lord was full of admiration for Brother Feng. Thinking about the sudden disappearance of the five hundred captives, and eight Niuli, His Majesty rewarded the land of Hanzhong, especially A few days ago, the imperial court also issued a decree, saying that His Majesty is sympathetic to the lack of manpower of the heroes, and can rent servants to cultivate Hanzhong in the name of the imperial court..."

  What does it mean that two or two oils can be scraped off a stone?

  Feng Yong has really seen it, this old monster Zhuge has a dark heart! Originally, I was still thinking about human trafficking, but I didn't expect the Zhuge old demon to directly change it to renting!

  What does this mean? What people do is not a one-shot deal, but to treat those captives as reusable resources, and repeatedly squeeze out their value as quickly as possible to extract the most oil and water.

   This is the end. If it is for sale, those people can still live for a few more years. This is changed to rent, and they can live for three years. They are lucky—your family is finished and mine is gone, want to rest? Yes, you will sleep forever after death.

   Maybe if you use someone to death, you have to pay the court money.

  The more Feng Yong thinks about it, the more likely it is. With Zhuge's shrewd temperament, this is definitely a certainty.

   As for the pacification of Nanzhong two years later, and another batch of prisoners of war, it is estimated that they will be sold rather than rented at that time.

   By then, Hanzhong should have basically been reclaimed. But reclamation is one thing, and manor farming is another thing. Doesn't farming need slaves? So you don't have to invest twice to continue buying? Two years later, the time point can just be connected. This kind of calculation is no one else. If the marketing departments of later generations have marketing plans like Zhuge Laoyao, will they not be able to make a fortune?

  As for the first batch of pioneers who were exhausted to death, it can only be said that they were not very lucky.

   "Doctor Li, will you tell brother Li about this kind of thing?"

   No, you have to confirm first, if Li Hui doesn't shy away from Li Yi even with such state secrets, then Feng Yong will have to re-evaluate Li Yi's status with Zhuge Old Demon.

   "What is the virtue and ability of my younger brother? How can I participate in such a major national event? It's just that I happened to have handled those prisoners of war before, and coupled with these things now, I can guess some clues when I think about it carefully."

   No no no, you are not a younger brother, you are a big boss!

  Every time I meet this guy, I feel like "I wish I had his IQ", which is really enviable!

   "Brother Li can have such thoughts, I really admire you!"

  Feng Yong was really impressed.

   Li Yi's face was full of smiles, as if getting Feng Yong's admiration was a very embarrassing thing.

   "By the way, Brother Feng, I want to find out something."

   "What is it?"

   "Which family do you live next door to?"

   "The Li family. It's a coincidence that they have the same surname as Brother Li."

   "The Li family?" Li Yi listened, looking a little disappointed, and said in surprise, "How could it be the Li family? Did Brother Feng lie to me?"

   "What's so easy to lie about such things?" Feng Yong gave Li Yi a strange look, and his reaction was too weird, "I heard it's still the sixth room of the Li family."

  The disappointment on Li Yi's face grew stronger, and he nodded: "I see. I was in a hurry just now, brother Feng."

   "From Brother Li's tone, could it be that he has something to do with the Li family?"

   "The surname of Li in Sichuan is naturally related. In this way, the younger brother can come to visit." Li Yi thoughtfully.

  It’s not good for you to say it so blatantly, right?

  Even if Li Hui has a little connection with the Li family, a big family in Shu, it must be a long-standing blood connection. The old monster Zhuge regards the big clans in central Sichuan as porcupine dogs waiting to be slaughtered. Are you planning to cheat your father by getting close like this?

Seeing Feng Yong's strange eyes, Li Yi turned his head and knew what he was thinking, and immediately smiled: "Brother Li, don't misunderstand, it's just that after sending off the clan brothers, I accidentally bumped into a bullock cart Hi, I almost startled the horse. The younger brother got out of the car to apologize, but I didn’t expect that the person sitting in the other car was a female family member. I saw that the bullock cart was going to the village next door to you, so I thought of coming over to find out which family is in the village. In the future, I will come to the door to make an apology."

   "I have met Li Taigong in Lizhuang several times. He seems to be quite easy to talk to, and since he has the same surname as Li, Brother Li will come to explain it. I think it will not be difficult."

   "The strange thing is here. After the car collided, the servant of the other party was a little domineering, claiming to be from the He family. On the contrary, the female family members in the car were quite lady-like, so they just received the gift from the younger brother in the car and left."

   Li Yi's eyes flickered, and he said with some doubts.

"The He family?" Feng Yong thought for a while, then nodded, "It wouldn't be surprising if the other party really said that he was the He family. I once heard that Mr. Li said that their house is related to the He family. I don’t know which house belongs to the He family.”

  Li Yi clapped his palms, his face moved with joy: "So we've met, it seems that it must be the He family. It's really worthwhile to come here to find brother Feng. I have something to do, so I will leave first."

  Watching Li Yi walk away excitedly, Feng Yong was a little puzzled, how could he be so happy when he came to apologize to someone?

   But it’s good to see him happy. He is happy, and Feng Yong is also happy. The dark clouds that have been weighing on Zhuangzi for the past few days have finally dissipated, and even the housekeeper is smiling.

"Master is back?" The butler skillfully took Feng Yong's fishing rod and basket, looked into the basket with his head, and said with a smile, "Seeing that Master is so happy, I thought I caught a big fish today." , Unexpectedly, I didn’t catch even one.”

  Feng Yongle chuckled: "I'm here to fish, not for those few fish."

   In the past, the fish nest hadn’t been raised for a long time, and the fish scattered. Today, all the fish caught were small fish, which were let go by Feng Yongdu.

   The butler didn't care whether he understood or not, he just nodded his head: "Master is always right. The family has already prepared meals, do you want to eat now?"

   "Let's take a bath first. It's getting a little cold at night recently, so take a bath first before the heat goes down."

  The butler nodded: "The old servant asked the kitchen to heat up the food first. By the way, my lord, today there are farmers in the village who came to tell the old servant that they are willing to let the children go to Hanzhong with the lord, but I don't know how many to choose?"
