Except for Liu Xiaohui who was too young, everyone in the Liu family worked hard all night.

The next morning, just as dawn, Lao Liu stood up and extinguished the red candle that had been lit all night, then put on the incense in front of the ancestral tablet, and told his family to rest.

Therefore, the first day of the New Year, Lao Liu's family spent their sleep.

Liu Yiu is not a sleepy person. More than ten years of Jeet Kune Do training have made him develop a series of good habits and also made him develop a good body. Generally, just five to six hours of sleep is enough for him to have a day of energy. So when his family is still sleeping soundly, he climbed up, moved his body a few times in the courtyard, and practiced basic movements for a while. Then he began to take care of the eleven oxen at home.

Forage, drinking water, and sanitation of cow tents.

The redness and swelling of the bull's nose has subsided, and now you only need to put on a condom and start farming immediately. I just don't know when the people Wang Zhihong promised will arrive and whether the curved plow can be made.

All of this is related to whether he can make good use of wasteland and plant spring millet into the field before spring plowing. If he can't catch up, he will miss a season, thirty hectares per season, how much will he lose?

Although I don’t know what the average yield per mu of spring millet in the Tang Dynasty was about, Liu Yiu was confident that under his command, his land yield per mu of more than 300 acres could reach at least 300-400 kilograms. This is not a bragging. If there are fertilizers or compound fertilizers, he will add more of this number.

One acre is four hundred, and the three hundred acres is ten to ten thousand kilograms. These are all money.

Liu Yi was thinking about it when he suddenly saw Huang Shan and Wang Zhihong coming from a distance to their house. I don’t know why he came at this time, Liu Yi patted the grass stuck to his body and stood up to greet him.

The two of them rode horses very fast. As soon as Liu Yi walked to the front of the door, they arrived.

"Mr. Wang, Captain Huang. Why do you have time to come to the humble house today?" Liu Yi opened the door and bowed his hands and smiled: "It's cold outside, please come inside!"

Wang Zhihong and Huang Shan rolled over and dismounted one after another. Wang Zhihong handed the reins to Huang Shan and said politely to Liu Yi: "It's such a rude visit. Please don't blame Brother Liu!"

"What is Mr. Wang talking about this? Lord Wang is willing to come to the humble house. Yi Yi was already very happy. How could he be surprised? Lord Wang quickly invite you! Captain Huang also invite you!" Liu Yi reached out to invite Wang Zhihong in. After Huang Shan tied the horses up, he followed.

When they arrived at the main hall, Wang Zhihong and Huang Shan first put a incense stick in front of the ancestral tablet of the Lao Liu family and simply worshiped them. Then they sat down with Liu.

Liu Yi said, "Mr. Wang, Captain Huang, sat down for a moment, and I will call my second brother to pay homage to my mentor."

"Hey, Brother Liu," Wang Zhihong called Liu Yi, and said, "It's hard to stay here, so you don't have to call him, and I can't stay here for a long time, and I'll have to hurry back in a while."

After Liu Yiu sat down, Wang Zhihong said again: "It's really abrupt to visit him on the first day of the New Year. But if you don't come today, it will be a bit difficult to see you again in the future."

"Oh?" Liu Yi sat upright and said, "Why is this? Could it be that Lord Wang has been promoted?"

Wang Zhihong laughed and said, "Brother Liu is really smart, and he guessed it immediately. The day before yesterday, the emperor gave a reward and transferred Wang back to the capital to serve as a position, and was appointed as the Chief Secretary of the Zhongzhou Province. Tomorrow is the date of departure."

"This is really the case?! I would like to congratulate Lord Wang!" Liu Yiu said congratulations. He was promoted from the ninth rank to the sixth rank. No wonder Wang Zhihong was so happy.

"Haha," Wang Zhihong looked at Liu Yi and smiled, "Wang is able to receive this favor this time, Brother Liu knows it well. Wang's arrival is to say goodbye and thank you. And then we are to come to fulfill my promise the day before yesterday."

After saying that, Wang Zhihong waved to Huang Shan, and Huang Shan took out a note from his arms and handed it to Liu Yi.

Wang Zhihong said: "The records here are all about farmers who are willing to farm here. There are 91 households in total, which is enough for you to cultivate and farm. As for the commission, you can pay it according to the market price. You can also discuss it with them yourself."

"Also, after Wang leaves office, the next county magistrate will be replaced by Lord Li Zhide. Lord Li and Wang are old acquaintances, and I have taken care of him. In the future, Brother Liu can ask him for help if he has any problems in the future."

"I'm sorry, Lord Wang has to worry. Lord Wang's kindness, I'm inscribed with you." Liu Yi stood up and gave a deep bow to Wang Zhihong. Everyone is about to leave, and he can still think so carefully about his future. Liu Yi has accepted this favor.

"And that's it," Wang Zhihong continued: "Wang Kui's case has changed a little. Liu Peng relied on his favors to persuade the Crown Prince, which saved Wang Kui's life. Now Wang Kui has been sentenced to remove his household registration and sent to Bian Jin for 50 years. The land at home has also been taken back by the government office. Among the ninety-one farmers recorded in the Book of the Book, eight out of ten were selected from Wang Kui. They are all experienced old farmers, which can save you a lot of worry."

"Liu Peng?" Isn't this old man already out of favor? Why is he still jumping? Liu Yi said worriedly: "Mr. Wang, since Liu Peng has interfered in this matter now, will he take revenge on me? If he really comes, we, a commoner, will we, cannot stand it?"

Wang Zhihong waved his hand and said, "You should be at ease with this. Liu Peng has always paid great attention to his sense of duty in his work. He will not do anything randomly. Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with you. You are just a victim of Wang Kui's persecution. If Liu Peng wants to settle the accounts, he will only count the accounts on Wang's head."

"I'll be relieved if you do this. Please be more careful in the future. You must know that it is easy to avoid open guns, but difficult to prevent hidden arrows." Liu Yi was relieved. Although he was not afraid, there would be a lot of trouble if he really fought. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials. If it is not necessary, no one would be willing to be enemies with officials in the court, even if that official was a corrupt official.

Wang Zhihong nodded, and he knew this even if Liu Yi didn't remind him. He reached out and took out a small copper order from his arms, and handed it to Liu Yi and said, "If you have any problems in the future, you can come to Chang'an to find me. Take this small order to my mansion, and someone will pick you up in the mansion."

Liu Yi took the order with both hands and said, "Thank you for your care. If you have free time in the future, Yi Yi will definitely visit the mansion."

"Well," Wang Zhihong stood up and said, "Wang will say goodbye first."

Liu Yiuan knew that he had promotion to be handled, so he stopped trying to keep them. He bowed and sent them out of the door, saying, "Mr. Wang, go slowly, I wish Mr. Wang a smooth journey tomorrow, and one will be delivered not far away."

Wang Zhihong rode on the horse, bowed to Liu Yiyi, and said, "Brother Chengliu Jiyan, Wang is here to go first! Drive!"
